Secret Lover | Kim Taehyung

Paintball

The title speaks for itself. Taehyung took Ari to a paint ball place at which she made a face like a kid got her favourite toy. Ari loved paint ball but Taehyung loved it more. Just because his girlfriend was really good player but the fact she never kills him makes him feel all proud to stand in front of others who loose.

"Tae, you brought me to play paintball. Just by looking at others playing I feel better already, thankyou" Ari genuinely spoke.

"Anything for you my love, now let's go inside for our turn. I've already reserved our place and yes before you ask I made it for two matches." Taehyung assured her as he knew very well how Ari won't be satisfied with one match.

Ari was excited but she also knew the other was more excited, he loved to show off when she won't kill him even if she gets the chance. It's not that Tae was bad at it but trust me Ari was really good with shooting and the reflexes.

So Ari decided to tease him, "Tae, let's try something knew. How about this time we play against each other too?"

Taehyung's smile dropped instantly, getting tensed, "Love, you know I love to play with you, I prefer to be on your side rather than the opposite."

"Oh is it so? You didn't take my side in the meeting though? I mean it'll help me with my mood as you were the head of the meeting after all. Come on, what are you waiting for? Let's go."

Taehyung laughed nervously but decided to follow her, he had no choice anyways. He pouted like a kid and taking grumpy steps behind her with defeat written on his face. Ari knew exactly the face he must be making, she giggled taking a glance at him who looked nothing but cute. How can someone say he is the same boss who is strict with his employees and CEO of a company? And she felt more than proud that she was one of the few people who can see this side of Tae.

The night was eventful both Ari and Tae being on the same team and winning both matches adding playing one more match when Tae made a deal to let him play with her. And how can Ari deny such eyes looking at her when Tae asked, "Darling, how about we play three matches but together on the same team?"

Later they went for icecream. Ari trying out new flavours and Tae ordering his usual vanilla but ended up taking large bite of Ari's icecream.

"Why did you order the plain flavour if you were just going to eat mine?" She asked with furrowed eyebrows when her icecream was half finished already.

"Ari, vanilla is a great flavour, don't insult it if you can't sense it's taste. And love, icecream from your cup tastes good but it's even better when it's from your lips."

Ari rolled her eyes and made a snarky comment as if she didn't hear the other say, her face clearly saying otherwise looking just like the raspberry flavour she was having, "Sense it's taste,my ass."

After a while Ari was on her second cup, yes Tae bought her another cup when Tae said it's not healthy or she'll catch a cold she whined about not eating enough, now now he can't let the girl starve, it's his excuse as if he didn't like to see those eyes every time she eyed the ice cream, savouring the flavour and don't even talk about her lips.

All his attention was on her lips as if he didn't have anything better to look at, the pink rosy lips in a pout to suck the frozen sweet and the tongue tugging out to lick the remaining, his instinct made him lick his own lips as well.

He just grabbed her by her nape and placed his lips on hers, sucking her lips making it more red, first lower than the same with the upper lip. His tongue licked her lips, letting it slip inside he devoured the flavour of lime along with raspberry lingering in her mouth. After sucking her tongue a couple of times he removed his lips from her not before placing a peck on her lips.

Ari was in a dazed when she opened her eyes, looking at her hands on his boyfriends chest which were there as an habit she got from over years. She looked at her boyfriend smiling widely at her innocently yet the kiss was anything but innocent.

Red hue got on her cheeks checking her surrounding if someone watched them but it was pretty late and the shop was about to get closed too.

She just scolded her boyfriend too softly about how can someone easily recognise him and looking at them kiss will get them on news but his boyfriend made no reply to it and instead held her hand and starting walking out the shop.

They decided not to take the car and walk to the house just like old times, it was dark outside and they were wearing mask so no one can notice.

"It's so peaceful here at night" Tae said.
"Yes, it just feels like the walks we use to have in the campus."

"Those walks were for freshening up our mind when it gets too much worked up." Tae smiled remembering their university days when they had late night walks before exam or any other important day to just talk, let things out, share with each other, just listening and trying to understanding the feeling of the other or to just be in each other's company.

"And what about right now?" Ari asked glancing sideways at her boyfriend who was looking ahead thinking about something.

"We are not the same people and living a different life." On hearing that Ari asked Tae to elaborate more.

"College was our maturing years something we were training up our minds for right now. Although we had much stress about future we had more fun in our lives and now we have less stress about future but we have a routine life."

"I guess that's how life works Tae. We chose the profession where we've to work our ass off just like any other field if you dedicate yourself to it."

"Of course we are not the only ones at least we are tension free for now but as always we are uncertain about the future."

"True, but there's one thing I was certain about before and I still am."
"And what is that?" Tae asked raising his eyebrows.

"You, me , us, a life together. We were together back then and we are still together now."
"And it'll be the same in future." Tae completed and kissed the back of her hand that he was holding, smiling up at her.

Tae missed the guilt in her eyes when he mentioned about how they used to share everything that stressed them out because they didn't live together to know. She felt bad hiding how her boyfriend isn't aware about her spending nights awake to work and drink caffeine the next day.

She decided to shrug the thought away and just enjoy the moment when they can. Because of their busy schedule they can't make a lot of time for each other and as tomorrow is a holiday they can. No it's not weekend but instead it's something more exciting, something Ari waits for a whole year and she was more than ready for the day.
