"I wanna take this painting ?" Taehyung asked the curator standing in front of you while you looked at him with your eyes widened as you heard him.

"Oh! Mr. Kim. Do you really want to have this painting?" The curator asked as Taehyung nodded, closing his eyes simultaneously while you gazed at his profile and then at the curator but before you could say something he said, "Yes. I want to take it for my wife."

Your already widened eyes enlarged as you tugged over the cuff of his suit jacket, holding the material within your thumb and fingers trying to gain his attention from the curator and succeeded just after a second.

Gazing down at you, your eyes met his while your eyebrows were lifted up over your forehead looking at him with your rebuff eyes as you whispered, "Taehyung… What are you saying? This painting would be really expensive." You completed as he heard you leaning his head towards you to hear you more precisely.

A soft smile formed over his soft baby pink petals as he closed his eyes for you as an assurance before twitching his head back to the curator who was grinning ear to ear looking at you two, whispering to yourself.

The curator said, "We really don't sell our paintings, Mr. Kim but we can make an exception for you." She declared, as Taehyung's witful smile made you look at the curator once again while you reciprocated a coy smile at her.

"Okay, Mr. Kim. I will make all the necessary arrangements." The curator said as you took a step forward to her as she halted at her place, "Excuse me. How much does the painting cost?" You asked with your doe eyes as Taehyung muffled his smile, gazing down at you as he said, "That doesn't matter."

The curator looked at Taehyung before wiggling her orbs to you, "It costs 20 million dollars." She made her way out of there as you turned to Taehyung as he muttered, "I thought it would be expensive."

You turned to him hearing his almost hearable voice, "Let's go and take a round." He offered and when you were about to say something. He took his hand out of his pocket before stretching his hand to hold onto your lower arm prior making his way to wander furthermore.

You pressed your lips together, gazing down at his hand wrapped around your lower arm. Your heart was hammering against your ribcage while you could feel your cheeks getting warm passing seconds as you looked at his frame walking before you as he stretched his other hand to run his slender fingers through his silky hairs.

Sensing the weather was becoming sultry, you placed your palm which was comparatively cold from your cheek as you bust a gut to simmer your heartbeat and cool down the heated up atmosphere.

Taehyung halted his steps as you also got a hold over your feet, losing all your impetus before you would collide with his broad sturdy physique.

Retreating a couple of steps back as Taehyung turned around to look at you. He gazed down at your orbs when your ruddy apple of the cheeks caught his attention making him tense at that moment.

You scrutinized his globes tracing down at your cheeks as again pressed your palm over your left cheek when his orbs turned perturbed as you heard him say, "What happened? Why are your cheeks blushed? Are you alright?"

Elongating his hand near your cheek he checked your temperature by settling the back of his hand over your cheek and then at your forehead making your heart skip a beat at his mellow touch, skimming your skin.

Within an instant you retreated your visage away from his hand as he drew his hand to its prior position saying, "Your temperature is fine." He declared.
