Chapter 45

                                    

                                          
After their argument, Y/N couldn't stop thinking about what Taehyung was hiding from her. She was curious to know what was inside that diary. Thinking about this, she didn't sleep all night.
The next morning, they both got ready for their trip to China and came downstairs. There, Y/N met her eomma, Mrs. Grey, along with Ella and Emma. They greeted her happily, and she greeted them back with a smile, trying to push away her worries.
At the dining table, Taehyung and y/n sat down as the maids served their breakfast. Taehyung tried to break the silence.
"Doll, about yesterday... I'm sorry," he said softly.
She didn't look up from her plate. She continued eating silently, ignoring his presence. After a few moments, she pushed her chair back and stood up.
"I'm done," she said curtly, walking out of the dining hall.
He sighed sadly as she left. Mrs. Grey and the maids noticed the tension but chose to remain silent, not wanting to interfere in their personal matters.
After she left, he followed, leaving his breakfast half-eaten. In the living room, he saw her talking to Adam. His expression darkened when he saw them.
When Adam noticed Taehyung, he bowed. "Good morning, sir."
Taehyung looked at him coldly. "Why are you here?"
Before Adam could respond, Y/N interjected. "I called him here. I'm going with him."
Taehyung's frustration was evident. "You're not going anywhere with him, Doll"
She crossed her arms defiantly. "I'm going with Adam, Taehyung. And I don't want to argue about it."
Taehyung clenched his fists, but seeing her determination, he relented with a sigh. "Fine, but we need to talk later."
"There's nothing to talk about," she replied sharply.
After their tense exchange, she said goodbye to her eomma and hugged her tightly. Mrs. Grey wished her well. "Take care, dear. Have a safe trip."
Taehyung also said his goodbyes politely. "Goodbye, eomma. We'll be back soon."
Mrs. Grey smiled warmly, but Y/N was irritated by his affectionate term for her eomma. They then headed to the airport in their car.
During the drive, Lucas noticed the tension and asked, "What happened between you two?"
Taehyung, clearly stressed and frustrated, replied tersely, "Nothing, Lucas. Just drive."
Understanding the need for silence, Lucas nodded and focused on the road, leaving Taehyung to his thoughts and Y/N to hers.

They reached the airport and, after finishing all the security checks, boarded Taehyung's private jet. Throughout the entire process, Taehyung tried to make conversation with Y/N, but she didn’t reply, giving him only silence. It hurt more than he wanted to admit.
Once they were seated, the captain announced through the mic that they were about to take off and instructed everyone to fasten their seat belts. Taehyung noticed Y/N’s face turn nervous, and her hands started to shiver.
Confused and worried, he asked, "Doll are you okay?"
She tried to brush off his concern. "I'm fine," she said, but her voice was shaky. She leaned back in her seat, closed her eyes, and tried to breathe in and out to calm herself, but it wasn’t working. Her nervousness only seemed to increase.
It dawned on Taehyung that she might be scared of flying, especially after remembering that her mom died in a flight accident. Understanding her fear, he reached over and gently took her hand in his, trying to comfort her.
