aespa imagines

karina | through the night pt.one

genre ; fluff
note ; there will be a part two! enjoy this fluffy chapter,  for now!

the cold night breeze slaps your face the second you step out of your apartment building, sending your hair flying back as you made sure no one was around to see you out. the weather was nice, maybe a little bit too windy to your liking but you didn't mind.

you've always hated winter, the coldness had been nothing but a torture to you and your electric bills with the heater running on 24/7 trying to keep you warm in your house. you especially hate it when it snows and your shoes keeps on getting wet, and being hit by snowballs thrown by kids that were playing around also became one of the main reason you hated winter.

your phone vibrated in your pocket, and you didn't have to check to know who sent you a message at this ungodly hour. a smile immediately plastered on your face as you grow eager to reach the promised destination earlier.

there were no one else at the park except for you, and a couple of cars passing by every ten minutes. the town was asleep, but you weren't. yet, you felt like your day was only about to begin.

love <3
almost there!
3:28a.m

3 am might be the only time you can meet karina without having to hide your face with mask, sunglasses and cap. though you guys could do much more fun things during daytime, it'd be such a risk for the both of you guys' career. both you and karina's group are thriving right now, the faces of your members and you being on every advertisement on the street speaks a lot.

aespa was just as popular, receiving awards here and there on every award show. making appearance on multiple tv shows, and at this point if you go to anyone on the streets of korea and ask to name all of the aespa members, they could easily nail it and name everyone in a heartbeat.

at first, you liked the attention. but now, you wish people wouldn't know about your existence and you hope that you could just vanish from their memory. but that's impossible.

your desire for that grew bigger and deeper after you met karina. the both of you have been together for not longer than a year, but the amount of proper dates you guys have been on can be counted with only one of your hands. both of you were scared to go out during daytime, being completely aware that some crazy fans might follow either one of you around.

so the only time you have the time to meet the love of your life is when everyone is fast asleep, leaving only streetlights to accompany the both of you.

"what got you zoning out like that?" a familiar fairy-like voice breaks the cold silence. you look up from the swing to see the popular idol standing in front of you with honey dripping from her eyes.

"you." you replied making karina push your shoulder lightly at the cheesiness of your answer.

"come?" she gently grab your hand, making you stand up. you follow where she's bringing you, the both of you exiting the park. karina didn't mutter a word, and kept on pulling you towards a direction which was very familiar to you.

"jimin" you chuckled, karina loved the way her real name comes rolling out of your mouth so naturally.

"why not?" she chuckled as she turn to enter the apartment building of your house before pressing the elevator button. the elevator dings before the door opened, you and karina immediately entered the elevator.

and before you could press your apartment level, karina had already crashed her lips onto yours, discarding her cap while at it. shocking you a little but before you finally melt into her kiss. you could tell by the way she was kissing you that she had been waiting for this exact moment since forever and you blushed at that thought. her lips felt like silk against yours, you missed the taste of her cherry flavoured lip gloss.
