Love Off Screen |KIM TAEHYUNG

A Rose for You

As Tae walks closer, you notice the roses clutched delicately in his hands are a deep ,romantic red.

Tae:-" I was looking all over for you, Y/n"   When Tae is standing in front of you, you can't help but visibly gawk at the flowers.   Tae:-" Oh, don't look so surprised, Y/n"    

He sits on the grass beside you, and you place your hand over his chest.

Y/n:-"Yup, I can feel it beating. I knew you had a heart!"   Tae rolls his eyes, but you don't miss the dazzling smile taking over his face.

Tae:-" These are for you. A gift for putting up with me today. And to answer your thoughts, yes, this is the first time i've bought someone flowers."

Y/n:-"I must be special, then."  Tae only smiles. His silence is an answer in itself.

Y/n:-" Okay, I'll put them on the front desk. Thank you"

Tae:-" Or your bedroom, front and center. Whatever works for you"    For oncem Tae's blatant flirting doesn't annoy you. Instead, it brings back all those feelings you tried so hard to push down. But the more you think it, the less true it begins to feel.

Y/n:-"Tell me something about yourself, Tae"  Maybe it's the darkness, the quietness, or that it's only the two of you, but ,to your surprise Tae does.

Tae:-" This movie we're filming...I'm really nervous about it."    Y/n:-"Why?"

Tae:-"It's different from all my other films. This movie..it's deep, Y/n. It's heart breaking. It has substance.The stuff I'm used to filming specializes in nudity, not emotion."

Y/n:-" But isn't this a good thing? Now you can show people that you're better than that."

Tae:-"If this movie tanks, it's my fault."

Y/n:-"I thik it'll be great"   Tae:-"Why?"   Y/n:-" Because you're kinda great"

Tae:-" There's something about you, Y/n, that makes me happier than most people do."   You are nervous and excited at the same time. Tae leans towards you, cupping your face in his hands.

Tae:-" I've wanted to do this since the day i met you,Y/n"   When Tae's lips finally meet yours, it's both too much and not enough at the same time.  You dig your hands into his hair, holding his face against yours.

Tae:-" Y/n..."   He breathes your name as he kisses you, his hands roaming down your waist landing on the curve of your hips. You hook your hands around his neck with no plan of letting go. And there's no denying it: you have feelings for Tae. Strong ones, too.

Tae:-" You're something else"   Tae's hands travels upwards, landing on your cheeks. He holds your face against his, firmly, teasing you with a quick bite to your bottom lip.

There's nothing rough or careless about this man in front of you. And when Tae stares into your eyes for a brief moment, you can see how much he's holding back.    

Y/n:-" Wow"   Before more can be said, you hear the front door begin to open. 

Y/n:-" Someone's coming!"  You steal a glance towards the porch, but it's too dark to see anything but a shadowy figure.    Tae:-"Follow me"    He grabs your hand and pulls you behind a nearby tree. Your back is pressed into Tae's chest as you hide behind the tree trunk.     Y/n:-"Is that..."

Ara walks onto the front porch. She lights a cigarette and sits on the steps, smoking.

Tae:-"Shit. Looks like we're going to be here for a while...."  This time, you initiate the kiss, tugging Tae towards you impatiently. It's even more passionate than before. And when his hands slip beneath your shirt and touch your bare stomach, you gasp.

Tae:-" You can hide out in my trailer with me, Y/n"   Tae leans in and whispers in your ear.

Tae:-"It'll be just the two of us"   You understand the promise those words carry.  Tae takes your hand and guides you through the backyard. He leads you up the steps and unlocks the door, holding it open for you.

Y/n:-"Whoa! This thing is nicer than any house I've ever been in!"  Tae's trailer is done up to the nines. You stand there speechless, taking everything in.

Y/n:-"This is incredible"   Tae:-"I thought you might like it"   Tae takes a seat on the leather couch, pulling you down beside him. You notice the table in front of you is littered with DVDs. You shift through them.    Y/n:-"These are all your movies?" 

   Tae:-"They are"

Y/n:-"A bit narcissistic having them here, isn't it?"   Tae:-"Would you expect anything less from me?"    Your eyes skim every DVD, noticing a commonality.   

Y/n:-"Well, I definitely see what you meant earlier about the nudity."  That word alone seems to be a cue. Tae takes your attention away from the DVDs by pulling you closer to him. 

Tae wastes no time. Within seconds, his lips are on yours, and he's pulled you onto his lap.

Tae:-"Y/n.." You run your hands beneath his shirt, marvelling at the hard lines of his muscles, the softness of his skin.  You lift Tae's shirt above his head and gawk at his bare chest.

Y/n:-"Those movie covers don't do you justice"  Tae begins to laugh, but you cover your mouth with his, unable to resist. Ending the kiss, you return to your spot on the couch, breathing heavily.

Tae:-"Tonight was.."  Y/n:-"Yeah, I know"  Tae:-"I'll see you tomorrow then"  y/n:-"Good night, Tae."   You cradle the bouquet of flowers against your chest as you walk back inside.

You wake up next morning with a sickly-sweet feeling in your stomach. Just the thought of him is enough to have you leaping out of bed, desperate to be around him.

This morning, Tae and Sarah are filming what seems to be a romantic scene. You watch the scene unfold. To your relief they don't kiss. Feeling confused and slightly upset, you head inside, not wanting to watch them film any longer.

To your relief, the living room is empty. You sink into the cushions and allow yourself to sulk.

Shree:-" Room for one more?"   Y/n:-"Shree!"  Shree sits down watching you suspiciously.

Shree:-"What's going on? I know a pity party when i see one"   You explain what happened last night and your conflicting feelings towards Tae.

Shree:-"First of all, wow. Second, he's an actor , Y/n. If you date him, you'll have to get used to watching him pretend to be in love with other people"   You press a pillow over your face, groaning.

Y/n:-"This is so...annoying. I hate not knowing how Tae feels"   Shree:-"Maybe you should ask him yourself"   Y/n:-"I guess i could..."  Shree:-"No, Y/n. Like, Tae's literally right behind you."

You gasp and turn around. Low and behold, Tae is standing in the doorway, eyes on you.

Tae:-"Can we talk for a minute?"   Shree winks at you before leaving the room.  You cross your legs on the couch as Tae sits in Shree's spot.

Tae scoots closer to you on the couch, but not too close to draw suspicion.

Tae:-"Let me take you to dinner tonight, Y/n. Just the two of us."    Y/n:-"Like... a date?"

Tae:-"Not 'Like' a date. Definitely a date.What do you say?"

Y/n:-"Hell yes!!"
