I wanted to forget each worry and I eventually ended up doing so as soon as I took a look at him. He was on his stomach, holding himself up with his elbows to search something on his phone. I just laid next to him, on my back instead. My head was basically right next to his phone, making his eyes almost meet mine.
His eyes.. My favourite feature of his face. They were unable to describe, but they made each emotion he felt visible. Expressive in other words. Not just that, but they held the whole universe in them. They could look dreamy, but he also managed to give you a deadly glance if he wanted to, even seductive which probably was a secret weapon he owned. They scanned the screen, which also was reflected making them sparkle even more. His mouth was concentrated, sometimes just moving due to silent talking to himself. His face overall was gorgeous and finally visible due to his haircut. The colour suited him amazingly as well.

"Why are you staring?" He questioned, obviously amused by it. "You said you'd give me attention each minute, so what is it you're doing now?" Finally, his gaze landed on me. "I was searching for a recipe. I wanna cook something today, just forgot a bit." Minho turned off his phone. Without loosing eye contact, he reached with one arm over me, supporting him.
"Hm?" I hummed, but he just stared back. I couldn't tell this time though. His eyes were unreadable. Whether just a gaze full of admiration or an amused flirty one. Either way, the combination of it made my stomach do flips.
He let himself further down, so I automatically shut my eyes close.
I wanted a kiss, but received a soft blow of air instead. It tickeled my nose, so I opened my eyes again. He lazily smiled, obviously finding it funny. "I thought you were gonna kiss me," I complained. "It's obvious you thought so." I scoffed, facing the side. "You still want one?" I shook my head. "Too late." The only thing in my vision was his under arm supporting itself, but it started to agle, his face appearing. "Come on, don't be sulky." He leaned in, connecting our lips. Of course I wasn't. I wanted his attention, that's for sure. He gently applied pressure, making my head turn upwards again, while I cupped his cheeks. My body felt refreshed, almost new...like kissing him brought all my energy up again, like everything was going to be good.

"Your make up's still on," he noticed, while backing off. "It was too pretty to remove just right after", "What's so pretty, is your natural beauty. There barely is make up applied." This may sound like a stupid pick up line, but I could tell his words were sincere and honest. I bit my upper lip, failing to prevent my upcoming grin. "And when you smile you're even prettier." I hit his arm. "Stop now, seriously", "alright alright. Words of affection should stay limited for you or what." He rolled himself off me. "I didn't say that. I was touched, it was a playful slap and also a playful way of saying stop it. Don't girls do that all the time?" I faced him. "Hah, not this way though. You looked like you meant it dead serious," he corrected. "Maybe you still can't read me good enough," I doubted him, squinting my eyes. "Sure."

"So what now?" He turned his head towards me at my comment. "Hm?", "What do you wanna do? Go out..like watch a movie, do any kind of activities...or, I don't know." He smiled, mostly to himself. "In a way of going on a date?" He asked. "It's just going outside. With each other. No date," I corrected. "Why not call it a date?" I huffed. "Do you even know the definition of 'date'?" He turned onto his side in order to face me. "An appointment to meet someone or go out with them, especially someone with whom you are having a romantic relationship with. Isn't this our case?" I couldn't completely hold in my laugh. "It's like you've googled it before. 'An appointment to meet someone-" He poked inside my side, but after all I just had to giggle. "Come on, try doing it again with the original Google voice, like imma go 'okay Google' and you-" He interrupted me. "Taerim, shut up." I looked at him, really trying to keep myself together, but ended up laughing straight up into his face. "I'm so sorry." A small smile crawled upon his lips. "Ah you see that, and you say it isn't funny." I moved up, pointing at him. He scratched his nose, obviously hiding his stronger growing grin. "You're so bad at this. Come on," I attacked him. He barely tried to defend himself letting me tickle him. "What? Don't tell me you aren't ticklish?" I already sat over him, but his position stayed nonchalantly. "I'm not, for your bad." I tried again, but no reaction. "Did you turn it off?" He confused looked at me. "What? Off? How can you even turn it off?" I shook my head in disbelief. "Some people can do that, but lose it when they don't concentrate anymore. So what do you wanna do today?" I stayed where I was, letting my arms hang down. "Huh? Uhh..I think maybe we could-" My finger tips softly trailed over his neck, making him immediately giggle. "Hah! I knew you turned it off, don't act dumb." He fastly grabbed onto my wrists. "It's just that you couldn't find the spot." I tried my best to pull myself out off his grip. "It's useless for you baby, I'm stronger than you." I scoffed, "that's not true, I can always.." I tried twisting my hands in order for him to let go, but he of course was one step ahead and easily pushed me sideways so he ended up switching positions. My wrists were tightly fixed under his grip, pressing onto the mattress above my head. My eyes started to wide, my heart beat increased, so did my breathing. What was I even thinking? Nothing with a double meaning here, Taerim. He still makes me nervous, with everything.
"You're defenseless," he proudly said. "W-what?" I stuttered. "What's up with you? So taken aback?" I fastly blinked, analysing his face. "Uhh how bout amusement Park?" Now it was his turn being surprised. "Amusement Park? Sure, why not."
