When The World Stops

Something cold on a cold day

Three weeks later.

'The number you have dialed-'

Those words were imprinted in her head, It's been weeks and there was still no sign of him. He hasn't been responding to any messages, hasn't been picking up any of her calls and she was starting to worry. She went over to his place a couple times only to be met with no answer. Her eyebrows creased and she nibbled her bottom lip, mind racing.

"Ready babe?." Tae Ho asked kissing the side of her temple as he relaxed next to him on his couch. They decided to stay in and watch a movie seeing as how the both of them weren't fans of going out too much. He placed his arm around her shoulder curling her body into his as he placed the bowl of buttered popcorn on his lap. She nodded smile grazing her lips while his faltered at how her thumb danced over the call icon in Namjoon's contact.

"We're seriously watching a barbie movie?" She cringed, placing her phone down and turning towards him who snapped out of his thoughts and nodded, he was totally serious. "Of course, it's the best kind of trashy movie out there" He said popping a popcorn into his mouth. "Tell me why I'm dating you again?" She rolled her eyes reaching for the remote she was sitting on.

"60% for the food and 40% I'm a good kisser." He joked making her snort. "You aren't wrong." She made a weird face and the both of them broke into laughter. "Okay which one?" She said, her face a mixture of pure shock and horror as she flipped through the surprisingly large collection he had downloaded.

"Really?" She asked scrunching her nose. He laughed eating more popcorn. "I had a 8 year old sister when I was eighteen..this is as good as it gets."

"Damn." She mumbled letting him pick the movie as she snuggled closer to his side, loving how his arm instantly dropped from her shoulders to her hips caressing her side with his thumb. "It doesn't get more trippier that the island princess." She laughed eating some of the popcorn. God, why did the popcorn also have to taste heavenly. "Excuse me? Have you watched the three musketeers? how does her dress not..you know...invert when she'd doing a cartwheel?" he retorted. Clearly he knew more about this that she did.

"Ladies and gentlemen, that's how a pervert thinks."

"Shut up." He pinched her side drawing a cute yelp from her. His eyes melted at the beautiful grin stretched on her flushed face, hair askew like always but he grew to adore that. Sometimes he couldn't believe they've only been going out for a week, especially seeing how comfortable they are around each other. A-Rin draped her arm around his torso feeling the muscle through his half unbuttoned white shirt.

"And I'm the pervert." He chuckled against her soft hair. She simply shrugged watching the really cringe start to the movie. "I wish I sparkled while magically changing clothes." She mumbled.

"But that would block the view." He said casually causing her to draw back and stare at him.

"Again, why am I dating you." She chuckled reaching for the popcorn which he playfully took back, pointing his nose in the air like a stuck up princess. "Take that back." he snorted feeling foolish. Their little banter lasted for a good few minutes before she was shut up by his lips leaving her speechless.

"Now watch the movie." He pulled back equally dazed.

"Or..." She started, staring at him, lip between her teeth.

"No more popcorn." He announced making her groan.

"Way to ruin the mood." She mumbled finding her spot back cuddled up next to him, a blanket thrown casually over their bodies, the tub of popcorn already half finished. It warmed her heart how he unconsciously drew circles with his index on her bare forearm as they watched the movie occasionally making comments about how ridiculously pink everything was. "I forgot how blind I'd become after every movie." He chuckled letting his date nibble on the popcorn.
