"That's so nice of you Unnie!" your cute dongsaeng chirped, handing over a small piece of candy, wrapped in a pastel plastic cover. "Here's a sweetie just for you." smiling apathetically, you reached out and grabbed at the offering but looked up when she pulled it back at the snap of your fingers, "but only if you smile!" she bargained as you chuckled before flashing a genuine smile. Satisfied, she handed over the candy and allowed you to happily go about unwrapping and consuming the sweet.

"You complained about the girls, what about the guys?" Jia queered, leaning in with interest. Although the three of you had spent a majority of your high school years together, you still had quite a bit to learn of each other's traits and such.

"That's not important..."

"If it's not important than you can tell us," she smirked, sipping up the last few drops of her beverage.

There was no way you could surpass her questioning, you've tried to do so in the past but her persistence was uncanny. Sighing, you forced out your honest answer, "I turn heads only...not hearts." Although blessed with the body of Aphrodite, the goddess of love, beauty and sexual rapture, you didn't exploit it in any unnecessary or inappropriate ways (unlike some girls), but just like the Greek goddess, you had a connection with love by being a hopeless romantic, and outright refused cheap affections.

"We're sorry (Y/N)..." the frowns that controlled the brows and lips of your dearest friends made your heart clench with guilt, it was never your intention to make them feel culpable because they truly weren't. You'd rather have a plain body and find true love than have an hourglass figure and only be able to afford substandard compassions.

"Don't worry about it!" you laughed a weak attempt of reassurance despite your willingness to secure their conscience.

"You're the sexiest person out of the three of us, and yet you're the only one that's single." Jia stated in thought, "I just don't get it..." she sighed in defeat as if she was trying to solve an impossible puzzle. Indeed, your trio was a group of visual and internal attractiveness, Seoyun being the cute one, you the sexiest and Jia, the mature beauty. Your two friends are also in genuine relationships, leaving you on your own when they go on double dates. It doesn't make you feel depressed (surprisingly) just disappointed that you haven't found the 'one' yet - they clearly have, isn't it your turn?

"But aren't you tired of waiting?" Seoyun pressed as you continued to smile, one that almost entailed sadness rather than joy. It broke their hearts.

"Yeah...but I know it'll be worth it in the end." the positivity you issued was contagious and the two awed before engulfing you in a hug. You were sexy but you were so much like a marshmallow, always equipped with just the right amount of comfort to consistently repair their aching and broken hearts.

"Woah, are we interrupting something? Do you girls want some girl time?" facing the voice, you smiled up at two male figures.

"They're always so considerate, your boys." you giggled before assuring the two that it was alright for them to join your trio for lunch, "Being together is how we always have lunch, and besides the girls and I get plenty of time with each other already." you further assured as the separate couples comfortably cuddled into each other's sides. They were so sweet and the stories of their meetings were even sweeter, you always end up smiling like a ray of the sun whenever you thought over their personal love stories.

Seoyun was dating someone your age, but it was nothing to fret about as their age gap stretched for only a year. His name was Baik Heonwoo and being a cutie himself, the two made such a darling couple. They met through a class project (typical) but it didn't turn out like the classic scenarios. Seoyun and Heonwoo were both too concerned over making the grade (as they weren't always up there in terms of intelligence - it was a charming, shared trait between them, though) that they didn't fall in love during the process of their project making. It wasn't until they were seated together in class that they began to fall for one another. In due time, they, yet again, had another partner project, which they ended up failing as they preferred to focus on each other rather than centring their concentration onto the given task. The confession consisted of a misunderstanding, spluttered words and a quick, shy, first kiss.

In school, they were labelled as the 'Cutie Couple'.

Jia, on the other hand, met her lover (Na Dongsun) when she was looking for a model to sketch the expressions of. You and Seoyun were both busy at the time, and so, you two weren't able to help her out yourselves, Jia had been procrastinating the assignment as well, so she was desperate. Her circumstances only led her to spend time with Dongsun. The male was usually the emotionless type, but after a mere hour and a half with Jia, he had expressed more emotions than he ever had his entire life. Their confession was a silent one, fitting for a couple that valued actions over words.

The two kept the label of the 'Charming Couple', their charm was certainly a unique one, but it was favoured by many.

That left you on your own, with no one significant at your side.

It wasn't all that bad. At times, the weight of it all decided to be more unanimous and slumped your shoulders drastically, but you always had your girls to help cheer you up and made everything better. Most of the time, you were immersed in many other distractions to be worrying too much over your pitiful love life.

"So, how are we?" Heonwoo asked happily. He was mostly staring at his lover, hypnotised, but you knew his enquiry was directed to all of you.

"Fine." the couple of charm mused together before digging into their school meals - their love for food was a parallel attribute that they adored about each other. Jia loves to keep herself full of good tasting stuff whilst Dongsun loves all types of meat, albeit needing to eat consistently anyway because of his high metabolism.

"I'm fine too..." was your simple reply as you began to munch at your packed bento, having already consumed your offered sweet.

But were you really?

Staring at the couples before you, you forced your smile to be more dominant than your sullen state of mind. You envied them. Their interactions made you crave for someone; someone who was willing to hold you and protect you from the cold; someone to share your most memorable memories with; someone who isn't afraid to be himself around you; someone that's only with you for the physical and mental benefits at being beside each other; someone to bring joy to your dismal world; someone who could make you laugh.

If you could have someone like that enter your life, you'd be willing to wait. Sighing dreamily at the idea, you casually indulged yourself the conversations amongst your friends. Just another day of waiting...

"I can't believe you actually pulled it off!" Jimin laughed, running alongside his brunette best friend.

"What do you mean?! I got caught!" Taehyung laughed, despite his grave situation. After being punished with biased reasoning, the teen had planned sweet, sweet revenge. Simply put, the plan consisted of water, a bucket, a door kept a jar with the blackboard messily scribbled with the words 'People who are too quick to judge deserve what's coming to them.'

Jimin laughed, "Only because you wrote that message on the blackboard!"

"If he figured out it was me from that innocuous message then he knows that he's guilty of being biased!"

"Or, that he knew you were the type of student to pull something like this on him!"

"Aha! Everyone's basically handling the honours to me! They have no guts!"

"Hey!"

"Except you, Jiminnie!"

They chuckled but quickly began screaming when the booming voice of their infuriated teacher rang hauntingly into the shell of their ears. Although it would've made other students shake to their skeletal structures, the two odd males only laughed louder, relishing in the adrenaline that pumped red-hot blood through their convulsing veins. Amidst their getaway, they eventually reached an intersection of the hallway, causing the laboured teens to connect gazes as if to telepathically come to an agreement in their next course of actions, where they instantly parted ways.

"I'll see you in English Literature!" Jimin struggled to shout through his snickers and dog-like breaths.

"Don't get caught!" Taehyung cheered with a grin.

"You don't get caught!" Jimin jeered right back. Taehyung was just about to break into boisterous hoots of laughter when he found the world suddenly overturning itself around him, either that or he was falling over. Only just registering the solid weight, that was the culprit of his downfall, Taehyung pieced every element of his outcome together before his cheek slammed into the cold corridor floors. It took a moment. Maybe two. For him to get his vision back as it was blurred from the impact made against his temple. Quickly blinking the obscured picture of his surroundings away, regaining his perfect quality of sight, much like the focusing of a camera lens, Taehyung lifted his head to be greeted by the face of an angel.

This wasn't the first time he had seen her; she was an icon in their school, and although that could've led some people to become big headed and suddenly authoritative in mannerisms, she had always remained unpretentious. She was respectful and polite to others but, somewhat, headstrong and carefree in her own way. Her perfect personality was sublimely reflected in her sensually sculpted body. It wasn't a lie that he had had his fair share of fantasies based on her, but he had always felt so guilty about it straight after. The reasons why was unknown, but maybe it had something to do with him having no claim over her; his uncontrolled fantasies surely made her a victim of some form of attack, right? To combat that guilt, however, he had harvested and grown a seed of interest about her. To get to know her better. To become her friend. In his years as a high schooler, he had been lucky enough to meet eyes with her several times, one of those moments was when he was fooling around with his friends, pulling funny faces and such, upon his most riotous expression yet, he had turned around just in time to lock gazes with her. It was very embarrassing on his part. Even more so when he had seen her giggling, but he was content deep down. It brought such joy to him when he was able to make others smile and it was made especially special because it was her that had been laughing. (Y/N) (Y/L/N).

"S-sorry about that!"

"I-It's oka-"

Taehyung quickly scrambled to his feet and was about to help her up with an outstretched hand, when the shouts of his vexed professor shrilled to the high heavens behind him. Not. Good. Without another word, he sped off, arms flailing about as his mouth released screams of amusement and dread.

He hadn't helped her up.

That was sure to leave a bad impression.

"Oh God Damnit!"

His professor, he supposes, will just have to suffer more at this rate.

"His face was really cute and funny at the same time." you flushed cutely, looking at the lunch table's surface. It had been several days since you had been run into by that gorgeous male. It wasn't his attractive features that had caught your eye though, it was his personality. You had seen him several times around school and he was always having fun, which was the aspect you envied most about him, but maybe that had you also subconsciously blossoming a liking to him. His rectangular smile was refreshing and the air he emitted was very comfortable. You had seen him making others laugh and, in his attempts, had been successful in making you giggle as well.

"What's his name?!" your best friends quickly pressed with glittering eyes.

"Oh, I don't know." you bit your lip and giggled, "But I bet it'll be a very fitting name for someone as wonderful as him."

"You've changed completely (Y/N). I'm getting worried..." Jia voiced in concern but Seoyun could only snicker.

"Oh shush! She's caught under the love spell, she can't help it!" Seoyun leaned over to whisper, "Let's enjoy her cuteness for a while. It's like a breath of fresh air from her usually sexy vibes."

Jia shrugged and sighed, "I suppose."

After finishing your lunch, your two best friends then pressed for you to recollect your meeting with him, exactly as it was, to the finest and most explicit detail, which you were more than happy to gush forever on. Explaining to them about how sudden the circumstance was, how breathtaking he had been but also how comfortable he had made you feel, just with his quirky smile of nerves and apologies, your graphic description had you thinking, however: why am I so suddenly in love? Is this normal? I don't feel like myself...but it's such a blissful and addictive feeling. What should I do? I feel so strange.

"He didn't help you up?" Seoyun practically screeched in disbelief as you simply brushed the connotations of his actions off your shoulder.

"Does it matter?"

"Yes, it does. Who wouldn't help you up after being the reason for making you crash to the floor?" she reasoned.

"He was being chased by a teacher, I'm sure he didn't want to get caught," you recalled the fear in his eyes, and pale colour of his face, forcing you to suppress a snippet of laughter just to contain yourself.

"That just shows that he's a troublemaker. I didn't know that those were your type (Y/N)." Jia added, sipping at her much-beloved apple juice box.

"Oh shush. Why can't you guys be supportive?" you turned your gaze down at your twiddling fingers, "This is the first time I've ever been this in love with someone. It's scary and I don't know what to do." they awed at your sudden cute vulnerability. It was so endearing because you'd usually be so sure of yourself, but now you weren't, and it was simply delightful to them.

"Awe~ We're sorry. Of course, we'll be supportive, but we have to know his name first."

Looking up at them, you tried to voice your gratitude but your airways suddenly clogged up. There he is. Just a few tables away, there he sat, with his friends, chatting away the lunch hour, making his silly faces again, introducing laughable comments that had his companions barrel in laughter and was practically glowing with a golden shine that had you melting into your seat.

"You look like a lovesick puppy."

"That's because she is and it's so adorable!" Seoyun gushed before taking your hands into her own, successfully drawing your attention away from your captivating crush at the action, "We'll help you out with your crush (Y/N)!"

"And we'll start it off by giving you his name," Jia added as your blush intensified. Were you ready to know his name? In your head you've always, only called him your cute alien; he was so foreign in antics but so lovable at the same time - you deemed it only fitting.

"He's called Kim Taehyung. He's practically the class clown of every lesson."

"Kim... Taehyung.." you uttered in a trance, staring off at him. What an appropriate name for your cute alien.

"I've been in some of his classes so I can tell you a few things about him if you want." you shook your head at the suggestion.

"Thank you Seoyun but I think I'd like to find that out for myself." they giggled at your brave declaration.

"Hopefully you don't become a stuttering mess like most girls."

Were they challenging you? "Do you want to test that?" you raised a questioning brow.

"If you're up to it..."

"Bring it on."

"I can't believe you would blow away such a perfect chance in getting the ideal girl of every guy!" Jimin almost fell off his seat laughing as he patted his best friend's back.

"Oh shut up..." Taehyung grumbled, sinking further into his seat. The conversation was going along well, that is until the subject of you suddenly slipped past his lips when he harked back to the incident, in the attempt to satisfy the curious minds of his friends.

"Don't feel too bad, at least you were able to have some physical contact with her." Hoseok optimised, like the ray of sunshine that he was.

"Yeah, we know you've been crushing on her for a while too."

"Wait- what?!" Taehyung wanted to deny their proclamations but they were quicker than him in explaining themselves, or rather, his behaviour over the topic.

"You keep staring at her and it's pretty obvious Hyung." Jungkook voiced as he bit into an egg roll.

"Sometimes you start zoning us out; you're so infatuated by her." Namjoon teased.

"Yeah, it's fucking annoying." Yoongi grumbled, "It's like talking to a fucking brick wall. Try it out and you'll see how goddamn annoying it really is."

"Anyway, if you feel so bad about it, why not apologise now?" Jin suggested helpfully, "It's better late than never." Taehyung would have to think about it carefully, he doesn't want to mess up twice in a row, "Now is actually perfect timing because she's heading right this way."

Taehyung choked and coughed in shock, "Wh-what?!" he frantically swivelled his head, never keeping his gaze on one thing for too long.

"Turn around you idiot." Hoseok laughed, physically turning him by the shoulders.

They weren't lying, you were walking right up to him, right in his direction - there was no mistaking it - you're getting close, closer...and closer!

What should he do?

As you approached his table, you started having second thoughts. Maybe you weren't ready to confront him yet...You don't even know what to say!

It's never too late to turn back now, right?...

All it took for you to dismiss the consequence of your previous bet was discerning the currents of uncertainty in his warm, chocolate pools. You were just a step away from him and as you moved to turn the opposite direction, he had scrambled out of his chair to bow in apology but, in doing so, collided with your form - another perfect recipe for an avalanche of bodies, much like your previous encounter.

Groaning at the numbing sensation targeting your backside, you forced your eyes to flutter open, whereupon they instantly locked with his. As if by instinct, you were hooked in a trance whilst the flourishing of heat made your cheeks glow pink. This was an entirely new sensation for you. So addictive. So pure. It was all because of him, and you didn't know whether or not you should be frightened or elated. It was frightening in the sense that he seemed to have more control over your body than your own mind did, but, also thrilling as this was a much-anticipated scenario for you, leading your imagination to conjure up all the events that could potentially occur after this meeting.

Some moments leisurely sauntered by, whereupon you were able to determine that he was just as entranced as you were, and although that made another wave of heat coat your sculpted cheeks, you couldn't help giggling at his adorable expression. He looked so innocent, much like a child experiencing a hair-raising but otherwise delightful circumstance.

"We have to stop meeting like this." you smiled, eyes crinkling with sincerity. He nodded. And whilst still in the midst of his stupor, you giggled up at him once more, "Do you mind getting off of me? The floor is pretty cold."

"O-Oh Yeah!" clambering to his feet, he actually offered a hand of aid this time, which you were quick to tease him for.

"So you've learned some manners I see."

"I was going to help you last time too! I promise... I was just, um.." he took a second to look at the floor before meeting your gaze again with a clearing of his throat, "a bit preoccupied."

"I thought as much," you smiled in understanding, "I'm (Y/N) by the way."

"I know." with a quirk of your brow, he hastily stuttered to correct his odd phrase. "I-I mean-"

You simply laughed at his attempts and carried on,"You're funny. I like that." your eyes seemed to suddenly darken for a moment and that made him gulp with the weight of anxiety, "May I know your name?" although you already knew that fact through your friends, there was a want within you of hearing it from him personally.

"It's Kim Taehyung." he smiled, outstretching a hand in greeting, taking the offer, the two of you shook hands with lasting eye contact and genuine smiles. Upon pulling away, you located a lollipop tucked snuggly into your palm. "It's a peace offering. No hard feelings?" his smile was nervous but your reassuring words set his conscience at ease.

"Of course not. It's a pleasure meeting you Taehyung." the way you had said his name sent a shiver down his spine. It was said so perfectly coming from you. Similarly, you felt as though it rolled off your tongue as smoothly as melted chocolate coated fresh strawberries.

"Nice meeting you too (Y/N)!" his smile grew into a large rectangle - a cute feature that you grew quick to admire.

Unwrapping the lollipop he had given you, you didn't hesitate in plopping it into your mouth with an appreciative hum. "Thanks for this."

"No prob." pulling the lollipop out, you gave it an innocent lick as it was your favourite flavour, but smirked when you caught him gawking. You had never been so fond over a male gaping at you in astonishment before. It seems that only he was capable of such a feeling.

"Well, my friends and I better get going. See you." upon sucking the candy back into your mouth, you flashed a toothy grin before turning to leave with a natural swish of your accentuated hips.

"You handled that better than I thought you would." Jia praised as you flushed pink.

"I think his own anxiety calmed me down."

"You two already look like a cute couple!" Seoyun squealed, making you burn hot red.

"Oh stop!" you whined with a smile, walking out of the lunch hall, trying to ignore their teasing from beside you.

"Woah..." Taehyung breathed, staring off at you with a noticeable blush. You were as sexy as everyone claimed you to be, not just in looks but personality-wise as well. There was a mature but somewhat childish charm about you, and although he found your maturity attractive, he wanted to bring out more of your childish side. It would certainly be an escapade worthy of his efforts.

You had hinted at liking his comical personality, maybe the challenge of testing your amusement wouldn't be so hard...

" 'Woah' is right!" Jimin awed, somewhat breathless in amazement "I can't believe she was so cool with you."

"Yeah; she usually keeps an interaction with all guys brief," Hoseok added, which made Taehyung's heart flutter after suddenly sprouting wings of adoration, the idea of the connotations were deeply gratifying.

"That means your special." Jin grinned.

"Can't wait to see how this works out." Yoongi hummed in his husky voice.

"Me too..." Taehyung muttered, excitement already filling his stomach, purging him of hunger. The mere thought of you was filling enough for him.

After the first formal encounter, both you and Taehyung had grown closer.

Due to his natural jokester nature, you had been able to laugh more for the past month, than you have ever had during your high school years. You appreciated him so much for that because your days seemed so much brighter with him constantly being in the picture, you also found it entertaining how he made it appear like second nature to make you laugh so rightfully.

There was a time where you were both engaging in P.E. The boys were taking up the basketball court whilst the girls played tennis. During your break in drinking water, you had looked over at the boys and - like magnets - your eyes secured a connection with Taehyung's own orbs. He smiled his signature, rectangular smile and waved at you happily, a gesture you returned with pleasure, but as you were about to verbally greet him, he was hit at the back of the head by a basketball. His face, his shocked cry, his shout of hurt and follow up actions of chasing his attacker had you in stitches. To comfort him during your pause of physical education, you had offered his favourite flavoured lollipop. This was a ritual that developed between the two of you, whenever the other needed comfort, a lollipop would be offered, a practice that has you maintaining a disposable supply of lollipops.

Addicted to your exuberance, Taehyung had developed a fixation on making you laugh. It was always a new but comparatively equivalent melody to the last, it was as if he was creating music through your tuneful laughter, and although he enjoyed that very much, he also acknowledged and valued your look of joy. It was a sight only for his eyes alone because you didn't laugh as hard or as legitimately with many others.

That sheer factor made him feel amazing.

He shouldn't just make you laugh though; he needs to show that he was compatible with you; proficient in being romantic; better than every other guy you've encountered; different but in a good way, and a perfect match for you. His pitiful crush had turned to love and he had never anticipated it to be so. His new familiarity with your character and charm, however, was the reason for that development. Now, he's more than determined to convince you of his worth. He'll do anything to be of more importance to you.

He's intent on making you his sooner rather than later; he loathes the males that always undress you with their sinful eyes. They don't deserve you because they didn't know you, unlike him, they weren't close friends with you either, unlike him, and so, it only made sense that he would be the one to most suited for you.

To have him call you his, and have you call him yours would be a dream come true.

It was the school festival and you were relieved of your duties within your class' event for an hour. Originally, your class had wanted to host a kissing booth for you to star in, but you had right out refused and now they were running a haunted house, which was deemed more appropriate as it was nearing Halloween.

"Taehyung's class is holding a butler and maid cafe so I'll be over there if you guys need me," you announced, already heading to Taehyung's class.

"Are you sure you want us disturbing your date with your little TaeTae?" Seoyun teased bounding up beside you to hug your arm, her feet locking into step with yours. It had been a few weeks ago when she had (unfortunately) discovered the nickname Taehyung had been begging you to call him, and now she was using it against you. (You honestly love Seoyun but she could be such a pest sometimes). A flush of red painted your cheeks at her teasing but you did well in hiding it.

"Oh shush. It isn't a date." was your inadequate objection.

"Really?" Jia inquired with a silent smirk.

"Yeah, he just invited me over so that we would have the chance to see each other since we'd both be busy today..." just registering the meaning behind your words - more like, his - the redness of your cheeks grew and migrated to the tips of your ears as your heart fluttered in frantic rapture.

Did he intend on this being a date?

"How romantic! A cafe date sounds so adorable!" Seoyun gushed at your side during the time that you attempted to break free of her hold.

"Pl-please stop Seoyun and let go of my arm."

Continuing her teasing, she pouted, "See, this is why you should tell us that it's a date so we can provide you with privacy."

"B-but it isn't!"

"Then there's no reason for us to leave you two alone!" the two of them chimed together. You wanted to protest but only kept silent for the rest of the way there; it was no use trying to reason with them.

"So..are you going to admit it or not?" Jia pressed upon reaching the door to the cafe. It took a moment but you ultimately sighed with a frown and gave in.

In a meek voice, you uttered, "fine...please leave me alone for my..d-date..."

"What was that?" they urged once more.

"Pl-please leave me alone for my date-"

"A date? What date?" Taehyung had magically appeared at the door and you wanted to curse the living daylight out of the magician responsible for his appearance. There was an unknown darkness lurking beneath the usual warmth of his eyes and it got you quite fearful, but you did your best to dismiss it.

"(Y/N) has a date. Here - In your class' cafe." Jia announced. Taehyung's gaze grew colder and became narrow with suspicion, which you couldn't help but question, despite your present fear. You had never before seen this look dominating the consoling expression your had grown accustomed to - why is it only appearing now?

"With who?" it didn't sound like it was truly him speaking. Yes, it was his voice..but the solicitous ambience that usually accompanied his deep vocals had disappeared, and was replaced by something much more sinister.

"With you!" Seoyun chirped in authoritative command and pushed you into his chest, eliciting an adorable squeak from your pink lips, as the two abandoned ship and rushed off laughing.

"...You're calling this a date?" Taehyung voiced, stupefied by the announcement as he stared down at you, the temporal shadow cast over his eyes replaced by hope, his arms locking you in place as they rested at the small of your back.

"A-a date between friends...?" it was more of a question than a statement. The two of you were in a well-established friendship, but your hopefulness and preference in considering this to be a date between lovers had you unsure of yourself. There was a lustreless glow of disappointment in his eyes; maybe he was hoping for this to be...

Maybe. Just maybe...

But, perhaps you were just imagining it.

Dismissing the awkwardness, Taehyung swiftly leads you to an available table for two. He had been expeditious to acknowledge that there was a vase, but no flower (had the previous customer been so starved that they had eaten it?). Just as you thanked him for being a gentleman and pulling the chair out for you, he moved to retrieve a floweret for your table.

He quickly brought back a rose, which you smiled at as he placed it in the slim, glass vase. "Thank you Taehyung." Sending you a look, you corrected yourself for him, "Excuse me. I mean, TaeTae." you giggled and rest a chin in your palm as you looked up at him. With a loving gaze, he stared back and you took the moment to fully appreciate his appearance, where you find yourself biting at your lip. He looks so desirable in a suit. Distinctly handsome and crisp, but you know all too well that this was just a facade for his true self, which you - admittedly - adored more than his outward appearance.

"May I take your order ma'am?"

At the title, you had to restrain another giggle, "I'd like some ice tea please."

"Ice?"

"Ice."

"Anything else?"

"Nothing else, thank you." you leaned back, sitting poised in your seat as you gave a soft smile.

"Are you sure m'lady?" he rested a hand on your table and leaned down.

"Yes."

"Really?" he leaned closer.

You hummed in confirmation, "Yes, really."

"I don't think you're sure of yourself there, ma'am." he leaned closer and your noses touched, making you giggle.

"Is there something that you think I'd like?" you enquired, doing your best to keep from kissing him.

"Red velvet cupcake?" he wriggled his brows in suggestion.

"You know me too well." leaning back in your chair, you suppressed a laugh and crossed your legs under the table, "Yes please." you ended with a toothy smile that you had to subdue by biting your lip. He loved that trait of yours - whenever you felt that you were smiling too big, you would bite your bottom lip and it only made those soft pink petals look all the more desirable to touch with his own. Staring up at him with such rounded eyes, you were basically begging to be kissed, but he knew that he had no right to do that so he forced himself to step away, placing your order accordingly as he asked for his saved break time.

"Can I have my break now guys?"

"Sure. You have an hour, got it?"

"I've got it." he grinned.

"Do you mind taking back your order first though?"

"Sure, it's cool."

"Thanks!"

With your order and a little something special in hand, Taehyung approached your table once more. "I'm on my break now," he announces upon setting your order down, where he then took the time to seat himself in the unoccupied seat across from you.

"Oh! Were you saving it for when I got here?" your eyes were wide and sparkled somewhat, which he found absolutely adorable.

"What if I said yes?"

"Then I'd say that's really adorable." shying away, behind loose strands of hair, you moved your gaze down, only to spot a lollipop beside your red velvet cupcake. "Tae.."

"It's on the house." he winked once you lifted your chin to look at him.

"You're so sweet." you cooed, lifting the candy by its plastic stick, "Oh! It's one of those new, combined flavours!"

"Yup! It's strawberry and cream." he confirmed as you 'oo'ed, proceeding to peel away the covering, which revealed a swirling pattern of white alongside a glossy pink. Plopping the treat into your mouth you moaned at the new taste. "This is yummy!" pulling it out, you gave its rounded face a peck before pulling back to lick your lips. Opposite you, Taehyung simply stared in adoration. You liked savouring the things you enjoyed and your content expression was everything he lived for. In spite of that, the effects of your naive but sensual actions still gave him that odd sensation and he's been meaning to pay you back for so long.

He knows full well that you don't mean to be sultry but everything you do just exuded an air of seduction. You would push draws closed with a provocative snap of your hips; sit whilst displaying your flirtatiously smooth, long, crossed legs; nibble ever so seductively on a pencil when in deep thought and would look up in a fierce but taunting manner when only meaning to insinuate childishly mischief. There was still a yearning for revenge in spite of that excuse, however, as the image of your rubicund countenance coaxed him into his retribution.

"Let me try!" reaching out, he took the lollipop from you, where he then took it into his own mouth, his eyes fully trained on yours, never glancing away and simply reeled you in. "Mmm~ You're right, this really is yummy." taking a peek at you, he smirked at your rubescent face.

An indirect kiss.

He was determined to make it a proper kiss next time.

Time ticked by, your lollipop was gone, so was your cupcake and you were on your last few sips of ice tea.

For the past fifty-five minutes, Taehyung had been amusing you with funny stories, hilarious jokes and comical facial expressions. The jubilant atmosphere, however, only made the hour you were limited to feel like a measly 15 minutes, an insatiable crumb of cake when hungry, and a prodigious hint of light in the dark.

3 minutes left.

Against time, Taehyung used the courage he had built to prompt his established motives.

"Wanna hear a funny pick up line this time?"

"Sure!" he stood from his chair, stepped up to your side and bent down while you leaned your ear up at him, preparing yourself for a line so cheesy and laughable, that you'd be forced to pull an expression between a cringe and a grin.

Instead, he does something else. Something better.

Gently taking your chin into the tips of his thumb, middle and forefinger, he turned your face, angled your lips upwards where he closed the claustrophobic gap in between and placed his lips atop yours in a loving embrace. The hand he had left, gripping the top of your chair's back trapped you in a capsule of bliss and pleasure as you returned the affection with a pucker of your lips. Golden but fading sun vibrantly tinting chocolate irises, hooded by a soft pair of lashes was the last image you saw before your eyes slipped closed and you took the time to savour another thing you liked. You liked it very much. So much, that you were humming to the fast pace of your heart and the colony of butterflies dancing within the pits of your stomach.

"You're so lucky Taehyung!" boys would constantly remind him after your relationship was esteemed. In response, all Taehyung could ever do was agree because he was, indeed, very lucky to have you, but not for the typical reason they would put forward.

"She has the body of a goddess and you have that all to yourself! How greedy." he would nod but that wasn't what he thought of it at all.

Even without the looks, he knew that he wouldn't be able to live without you being there beside him. You truly cared for his well being, only looked at him, acted cute just for him alone, and accepted his weird behaviour with a better embrace than most people. He couldn't ask for a better angel and blessing to his life.

"You're honestly so lucky!" his classmate groaned as he laughed.

"I'd have to stop you there because I'm the lucky one," you announced, suddenly appearing to go up and wrap your arms around your lover, nuzzling into his chest as he chuckled and pulled you closer.

"But why?" the male asked as Taehyung pouted. He knew that he'd have to get used to that offensive question, but he can never seem to grasp any calm over it.
