Dating Seraphs

Chapter 1: Fearless

"She's seriously so amazing."

You were laying on your couch while Chaewon was laying on top of you, holding a tablet. The two of you were watching the live clip of INVU that Taeyeon posted recently. Chaewon was in awe at her voice, and quite frankly you were also very impressed. Taeyeon's voice was so beautiful, capturing her emotion so well. You slide your arm down from the back of the couch and hug Chaewon from behind.

"She's amazing, but you're more amazing," you whisper into her ear.

She doesn't respond.

"Chae?"

"Huh?" she sniffles.

You lean forward and turn to look at her face, "are you... crying?"

She wipes her eyes with the sleeve of her sweater, "what, no," she replies unconvincingly.

You lean back again and start laughing, "no way, this actually made you tear up?"

She leans her head back into you, resting it on your chest, "her voice is just so full of emotion," she sighs.

"Yeah, I agree," you say before kissing the back of her head, "but I like yours more."

She turns the tablet off and places it on the coffee table, "well you're wrong, her voice is better."

You stroke Chaewon's short hair, clearing it from her face, "yeah but your voice comes from you, and Taeyeon isn't the one who cuddles with me," you say before pulling her back so that the two of you are cuddling again and giving her a tight squeeze.

Chaewon giggles and looks up at you, "would you rather cuddle with Taeyeon?"

"Well..." you hesitate.

Wrong answer. Chaewon's mouth opens wide as she looks at you in disbelief. She gets off you and glares at you, crossing her arms, pretending to be upset with you.

"Come on, are you saying you wouldn't cuddle with Taeyeon?" you ask.

"That's not the point," she whines, trying to contain her smile.

You lean forward on top of her so that she's now on her back and slide your hand up her sweater, tickling her sides a bit. Her demeanor cracks and she starts giggling. She leans her face forward a bit towards yours, and you meet her halfway, planting your lips on hers. As the two of you make out, you feel her abs flex as she is basically doing a crunch in order to reach you.

You stop making out and she falls onto her back again, "let me make it up to you?"

There is a tinge of sadness in her expression, "not tonight," she says regretfully.

Before you can voice your objection, she holds up her phone to show you the time.

"Ah, forgot you're an idol and still have a bedtime."

"It's not a bedtime," she argues as she sits up and fixes her sweater, "it's just we have an important check in tomorrow morning since our comeback is so soon."

"You guys literally practice every day."

She stands up, "you of all people should know being an idol is tough."

"Dating one can be difficult at times, too," you complain as you put on a hoodie and grab your keys.

Chaewon walks up behind you and wraps her arms around your waist, her head on your shoulder, "but it's worth it right?" she asks softly.

You turn your head and answer her question with a quick kiss on the cheek before leading her to your car. You truly did understand that it was tough work, and you were here to support her however you could.
