Celine spent the rest of the day with Yoongi in his apartment. They did everything from watching more movies to taking small little cat naps together. Yoongi made an absolutely divine breakfast for the two of them. Throughout they day, they stole little kisses from one another. Celine was still a little shy about it so it was mostly Yoongi engaging her. She didn't really want to leave that evening but she knew she had a day with Taehyung the next day. Yoongi made her feel so relaxed that she didn't know if anyone else could top that.

The next day, Taehyung came to pick her up. He had a beautiful bouquet full of purple and white flowers assorted with roses, carnations, and baby's breath that she put on her table right away. He followed her in and scooped her up in his arms, spinning her around before landing a sweet chaste kiss on her cheek.

"Are you ready for the museum?"

"Are you ready for the museum?"

"I'm ready to spend the day with you," Celine answered.

Taehyung took her by the hand and led her to his car, opening the door for her to go in. He went around to the driver's seat and immediately grabbed her hand again. It seemed like touch was unavoidable with Taehyung.

Once they were at the museum, it was no different. Since it was interactive, they were able to watch the whole show in their seat if they wanted or walk around different rooms to enjoy it. Of course Taehyung couldn't sit still so they roamed all over, Celine's hand still in his. The show lasted a little less than an hour, less time than they expected. They were both a little disappointed that something that they were looking forward to took so little time. On the bright side, that meant that they could spend more time talking and focusing on each other.

"Do you want to go for ice cream?" Taehyung asked gleefully. He was truly like a little kid asking his parent but Celine couldn't help but be endeared by his demeanor. How could she possibly say no to that?

"Let's go," she said, linking her arm into his. Taehyung ordered strawberry and she ordered oreos and cream, deciding to go to the park together to eat them.

They sat down next to each other on a park bench, watching a group of children playing on the playground about a hundred yards away. Celine was smiling at the sweet sight but when she looked over at Taehyung she noticed that his eyes had darkened and he was frowning. She scooted in closer to him, took his hand in hers, and turned his head to face her. His eyes softened a bit and started to shift into the beautiful green forest she had seen just last night.

"What's wrong?" She asked.

"It's no big deal really. It's just that I'll probably never have kids. I adore them but none of us are able to have them. At least none of us have in our lifetimes. We're a lot older than we look in a way. We've all experienced a lot of love and loss but that's something we can never have. Even if we did, I don't know if they'd be like us or if they'd be mortal. We may never see them after this lifetime."

Something clicked inside Celine's head that she hadn't realized until now. Each one of them had a ton of experience in not only relationships but life. It made her feel a little bit inexperienced and she wasn't sure how much she should share with them without judgment. She wondered just how old they were.
