Before The Shadow: White Chrysanthemum Flowers

Chapter 2: Anniversary

Today is Yoongi and I's five months anniversary. I know most people typically wait till their six months anniversary or even their first-year anniversary to celebrate but Yoongi insisted that we do something and well I wasn't one to say no. He planned the entire thing as he wanted it to be a surprise for me, so naturally, I stressed immensely over what I should wear as I had no idea where our night would lead to. Will I need fancy clothes or comfortable ones?  My best bet is probably to go with something that is smart and somewhat casual, just in case he decides to take me to some fancy restaurant or something. 

I brush my hair for the thousandth time in the mirror before I hear the buzzer for my apartment go off; that'll be Yoongi. I practically sprint down the stairs to meet him and rush through the lobby to see him waiting for me in the street. He is leaning up against the wall of my building looking extremely dapper, his hair is pushed back into a wave across his head revealing his forehead. He is wearing a black t-shirt that is tucked into his jeans along with a leather jacket he has swung over his shoulder, holding it in place. He looks absolutely amazing, he smirks once he notices me gawking at him. He pushes himself off the wall and steps over to me, sliding his hand into mine. "Shall we go?" He asks, grinning his gummy grin. 

He walks me to his car, opening the passenger side door before jumping in the driver's seat and turning the keys to start the ignition "So are you gonna tell me where we're exactly going?" I ask as he begins driving down the street.

"Nope." He winks at me.

The trip is about twenty minutes long before Yoongi pulls up into an empty car park, passing a building that has a sign in neon lights plastered to it reading 'ARCADE'. I whip my head to face him as an excited smile spreads across my lips and my eyes sparkle. "An arcade?" 

Yoongi nods his head and smiles. I can't even remember the last time I have been to an arcade and had fun. The one downside to running the Dojang is that I've had to put a lot of my personal life on hold.

We jump out of the car and I walk eagerly towards the building with Yoongi's arm around my side but as we come to the doors I stop. There is no one around or inside the building for that matter, is it closed? Yoongi cocks his head to the side and looks at me. "Uhh is it open?" 

Yoongi chuckles. "Yes...I've kinda rented out the place for the evening." He says in a nonchalant tone.

"You what?" I say in surprise but he just laughs and pulls open the doors and leads me inside. The room is adorned with various arcade machines all in different colours, ready to be played. In the centre of the room are several tables that have been pushed together that presented a variety of different pizzas along with a sign that reads 'Happy 5 Months Anniversary. I beam. "You can play anything you want." Yoongi slides his arms around my waist and rests his head on my shoulder. "You like it?"

"I love it," I whisper and plant my lips on his, kissing him fervently.

We stuff our faces with pizza and go around to try every game they have as Yoongi and I are pretty competitive. By far one of my favourite games is Street Fighter as I beat Yoongi each time we play it.

"Go, go, go!" I yell and smash the buttons on the machine.

"Ya, ya, ya!" Yoongi says in annoyance at the machine.

"Yes!!" I jump up and down as I won again.

"The machine is broken! It didn't do any of the moves I wanted it to." Yoongi grumbles and pouts his lips. "Best out of ten?" Yoongi pleads with me.

I laugh at his behaviour "You can't keep asking that every time you lose. I think you should just admit that I'm the unbeatable champion."

He sighs "Fine you are the Street Fighter champion." He pouts again. I lean over and peck him on the lips which instantly has him smiling.

My other favourite game is Crazy Taxi, It has me crying with laughter at Yoongi's driving skills as he attempts to get people to their destination before the timer runs out. "Why am I going so fast!?" Yoongi says confused as his car proceeds to zig-zag everywhere on the screen.

"Because you're a crazy taxi driver, that's the game!" I giggle.

"Woah I just flew through the air!" Yoongi says in amazement as his car took a shortcut.

"Keep going, keep going! You've only got ten seconds left!"

"Ahh!" Yoongi shouts out as he just manages to drop his last passenger off before the timer runs out.

"Waah, that was crazy babe," I say trying to contain the leftover giggles I have. He laughs too and pulls me over for a kiss, holding me close.

"Should we go to our favourite spot?" Yoongi hums. I bite my lip and nod, he leads me back to the car. Our favourite spot is a place by the beach, it's our make-out spot that we always go to.

As he pulls in he fiddles around with the CD player and turns up the volume so Savage Garden's 'Truly Madly Deeply'  begins blaring through the speakers.

'I'll be your hope, I'll be your love, be everything that you need~'

I interlock my hands with his and our eyes meet, his warm soft brown eyes that lovingly look only at me. We edge closer to each other, staring at one another for a moment before Yoongi cradles my cheek in his hand and crashes his lips into mine. His touch, his feel, his taste, it was all exhilarating, like electricity was running through my body. I let go of his hand and rake my fingers through his hair, pulling him closer to me.

'I love you more with every breath truly, madly, deeply do~'

He breaks away from my mouth and kisses me along my jawline and slowly down to the base of my neck, my skin tingles at his touch and goosebumps appear on my skin. Once he reaches my shoulder he lustfully looks into my eyes before quickly pulling me to sit on his lap.

'I will be strong, I will be faithful 'cause I'm counting on you~'

I clutch his face with both hands and kiss every corner of his face as his hands slide themselves down my sides until they are cupped around my waist. "I love you," I say breathlessly.

He grins. "I love you too," His tongue caresses my neck again. I want more of him, I want to feel more.

"Let's go back to mine," I say desperately in his ear. Yoongi's eyes spark with intensity as he places me back in my seat and backs out of the spot we were parked in. He drives quickly and somewhat dangerously back to my apartment.

'A deeper meaning, yeah~'

He parks and I barely have a moment to get out of the car before he sweeps me up into his arms, I squeal at the sudden movement. He runs to my apartment complex which I can't help but laugh out loud at, clearly I'm not the only one who is excited.

He puts me down once we were inside and I squeeze his hand tightly in mine as I quickly lead him towards my apartment, slamming the door open as we crash into it. Our lips are securely locked together, Yoongi swings the door shut with his foot and rips his shirt off. We kick our shoes off and head to the bedroom.

We walk backwards, well I'm walking backwards. I unbuckle Yoongi's belt and help him out of his jeans, he swiftly undresses me before we both fall onto the bed. Yoongi towers over me, breathing heavily as his eyes trail all over my body. I too admire every inch of him before I grip his neck and pull him down to feel his skin against mine.
