"Hey baby", he circles my waist and pulls me closer to his chest. I hug him tightly and whisper a reply. He's looking handsome as always pulling off a sweater and black pants with a black denim jacket.

"You look breathtaking", he compliments me, I smile shyly at him and avoid his eyes. "It seems like you lost your confidence... Remember what you promised earlier?", he smirks.

I hold his gaze and answer him, "I don't know what you're talking about... I didn't promise you anything."

"Oh really? Because I remember clearly that you texted me saying-", I cover his mouth interrupting that sentence. He raises one eyebrow in questioning. I muster up some courage and I remove my hand to give him what he wants. I lean in hesitantly but he pulls me closer encouraging me. I press my lips to his and kiss him slowly, passionately. I shiver at the contact, my heartbeat accelerates and I feel the blood rushing to my cheeks. He kisses me back, matching with my movement. I didn't realize how much I craved his lips up until I got a bit of what they feel like molded against mine. I'm getting addicted to this... His masculine scent, his burning touch, his possessive kiss... Him...

"Are you ready to go?", he asks panting.

"Yes", I answer, but it comes out as a whisper due to my out-of-breath state. He pecks my cheek one last time and I grab my keys before heading out. He closes the door behind us and we walk towards his car, he opens the door for me and I get in. He gets into the driver's seat and glances at me, he then leans in and puts my seat belt for me. That simple gesture got my heart dancing in my chest.

"So... Where are we going?", I asked impatiently as soon as he starts driving. He laughs at my impatience and shakes his head in refusal.

"Come on... Tell me... Please...", I insist but he shakes his head again smiling. "Please...", I look at him with puppy dog eyes but he still refuses to tell me.

"It's a surprise...", he says after he sees my pout. We stop at a red light and he pecks my lips, "You look so cute when you pout", he adds, smiling cheekily. This man...

We sit in comfortable silence, listening to music and enjoying the soft breeze of the spring night. I don't know when, but at some point of this drive, Tae placed his right hand on my thigh... I blush lightly but I place my hand on his and I notice him smiling from the corner of my eye.

About thirty minutes into the drive, he reaches for something from the back and he hands it to me. It's a bandana. "Cover your eyes with this please", he says and I look at him questioning but he brushes me off with a smile. I shrug it off and oblige anyways.

After a few minutes, the car comes to halt and the sounds of seat belts unclicking are heard. My car door opens and he holds my hand guiding me out of the car. He turns me around and I can feel his chest against my back. He moves forward and I hesitate before following him. "Trust me", he whispers and I tighten my hold on his hand. We keep moving forward and I can hear some sounds from a distance but I couldn't recognize my surroundings.

We come to a stop and he whispers, "Are you ready?"

"Yes", I answer excitedly.

"Are you sure?", he teases.

"Yes!", I exclaim impatiently and he giggles.

He removes the bandana and it takes me a few seconds to adjust to the lighting. I gasp, "Oh my God!"

"Do you like the place?", do you even need to ask? Like duh...

"Are you kidding me? Of course, I do! This is perfect!", I state matter of factly.
