The Deep Desires ( KTH x Y/N)

🥀The Date ( Pt 2 )

Au/Pov

The morning sun is hiding playfully behind those big, fluffy clouds. The weather is pleasant, with a light breeze making Y/N's hair ruffle softly as she stands frozen in her spot.
Her cheeks are tinted by the sudden rush of adrenaline.
Y/N gets flustered easily, which the man in front of her totally understood, and instead of being calm and poised towards her, he was enjoying what he was currently doing. He felt a weird satisfaction with his current actions. Being an idol, he knew he had to maintain his distance and image, but deep down, he felt that this was the moment he could let go. Her cute whines, her adorable pout, and lastly, her tinted cheeks were making him unexpectedly attracted to her. Or was it something else?

Y/N's pov

"Let's go for a ride?" I ask him, trying to show that I can be a normal girl as well, but he does it again. He catches me off guard with his mischievous comment.
"This fast?" He smirks, which sends shivers down my body. We both know that we are thinking about the same thing, and that makes me too embarrassed to even think straight.
"T-the horse-I meant..."
As soon as those words left my lips, he chuckled, leaving me further embarrassed. "You have weird tastes," he pulls me with him, as I am left bewildered.

We reach the merry-go-round, but I am too engrossed in my thoughts to even notice it.
"Your horsie is waiting. Shall we?" He asks, snapping me back to reality, and gestures to me to go in first.
"Oh- y...yes." I am trying hard to not stutter but it is indeed hard when the love of your life is busy teasing the heck out of you.
I walk inside, shrugging off my thoughts, and finally take a look at the ride.
"Woah.... They look so pretty. Wait, how do you get up?" I ask out of curiosity.Probably the only time I can be casual around him is when I am not thinking about him.
"You put one of your feet in this stand, then climb up. Let me show you." he says that and sits up on one of the horses.
"Ummm, let's see", I try to put my foot up on that stand, which seemed quite easy, but what makes me struggle is to climb up on that high seat. I am 5'3, and it's really illegal for people to put things up this tall.
I stay hanging like that and start whining again, completely forgetting the fact that he was giggling at my situation.
"Aish shortie."
The next thing I know, I am almost in his arms as he helps me up and makes me sit.
"Oh, thank you so much." I passed a little giggle, being too happy, but now I was conscious of his presence again.
I look back at him, smiling and wanting to ask him to sit beside me, as it's my first time on a ride. I was a bit scared. But to my surprise, he's looking at me with a blank face.
"Huh? What's wrong?" Seeing him like that confuses me, and I can't help but ask him the question.
"Y/N?" He calls my name with a serious tone. I could see his expressions had changed a lot from before. He is staring at me seriously, which is making me nervous.
"D..did I do something again?" I am getting scared as he keeps maintaining his gaze.

"What is with that smell?" he asks me with a raised eyebrow, which confuses me.
"Huh?"
"Who are you?" he asks me, which makes me certain that he's teasing me again. "Heyy, you scared me," I replied, whining, but he wasn't playing this time.
He comes very close to me abruptly, standing on that foot stand, and moves to my neck, sniffing.
all while I was stunned.
"Rose.." he mutters in his deep voice near my ear, sending chills down my spine.
He moves back and gets off the stand and asks me again in a straightforward manner, "What is that smell?"

"R-rose?" I ask, and he responds immediately, "Yes, that rose. What is it?" He seems to be impatient for my answer, so I say it without wasting a moment.
"M-miss Dior." I reply because I'm scared, thinking that he might be hating the perfume I used on myself.

"Wait what?" My sudden answer confuses him as well.
"It's from Miss Dior... I bought it last day so I could use it today."

He sighs in relief upon hearing that. The tense figure now finally seems to be calm, but there is a slight disappointment in his eyes as he looks down.
"I see. Nice, it smells good," he pats me and unconsciously walks off towards the exit.
His actions were confusing me so much.
"Taetae??" I am really worried about whatever is happening, so without thinking about anything else, I decided to call and confront him maturely.
But I forgot that I stepped out of my line again.
He stops, probably couldn't believe whatever he heard, and moves a few steps back, slowly turning around.
"What did you just call me?" and that question finally made me realise what slipped out of my mouth.
His gaze turned playful once again, as I was at a loss for words, but I tried to play it cool.
"Is something bothering you? Did I make another mistake?" I ask, feeling a little defeated, as I did not imagine the day starting off this badly.
He slowly shrugs, shaking his head, and walks towards me, patting again. "Sorry, I just mistook you for someone else; the smell is too similar. You didn't do anything wrong; stop worrying." He finishes his words and gets on the ride beside me.
Even though it was a relief to hear that everything was okay, something still made my heart feel too heavy.
Someone? Who, a lover? And I ruined it. I was supposed to have a good time with him, but I disappointed him. He is probably tired of me. I slowly start drowning in these unnecessary thoughts in my mind.

The ride started with a faint jolt, which still wasn't enough to shake my mind off that possibility. I shouldn't even be worried about something like this; it is his personal life, and I am not one to feel sad about it. I am just his fan, and that made me teary for absolutely no reason again. Yes, I was being that Delulu girl and didn't care about my surroundings.
Even if I was not in my mind, the other pair of eyes were fixated on me.
"Now did I do something that is making you cry like that?" I hear him say that, and before I could even react, he cups my face in his palm slightly and wipes my tears off.
"I... Oh no, no, it's not you, though. I am not crying." I look away with embarrassment.
Not one thing is going well today, and that is making me more sad. Tears keep streaming down my cheeks without my control, and it was so hard to even calm myself.

"Stop the ride!" He commands the worker, after which the ride comes to a halt.
He gets off the ride immediately and comes to my side, worried, and cups my face.
"Are you sure you aren't crying?" He says that hearing which made me end up crying more.
My emotions are finally taking a toll on me, probably because of my cycle, but it was quite unexpected.
The poor boy started panicking after seeing my state. It was not the first time for him to see a girl cry, but it was certainly different this time.
I keep weeping in my sorrows as he pulls me into his arms and gets me off the ride, cuddling me slowly.
"Calm down; what's wrong? Why are you crying so much now?" He pats me and talks gently.
"I am s..sorry for ru..ruining your day," I say, stuttering. "I am really sorry."

He listens to me in a very calm and composed manner, pats me constantly as I keep blaming myself. He waits till I finish with my blame game.

I stay snuggled up in his arms, closing my eyes and letting my tears fall. I was feeling extremely broken to ruin his day and mine altogether. I stop saying anything more as I try to calm down slowly.

"You did not ruin my day; I don't even know what made you think like that, but let me assure you that I am enjoying your company quite a bit too much, to be honest." He finally speaks, as I just listen to him silently.
His fingers brush through my hair. "I keep saying nonsense stuff; isn't it annoying?" he shook his head, hearing me slowly. "Not really; it's fun and cute. As long as you are saying anything at all, I like it."
I nod and stay like that in his arms for a while; he doesn't try to move me either.
It wasn't for attention that I was being clingy, but rather for the comfort and validation that I longed for in a man.

Growing up, I always wanted to know how it felt to be in a man's arms. I never got a chance to be in my dad's, nor did I have a brother.
I grew up around women, which is probably why I started getting attracted to them more. And never did I dare make any guy friends at school or college. I even rejected the boys who came to propose to me by saying that I prefer girls.

This is the first time I got hugged by a guy, and it is indeed really warm, like I expected. The way he calmed me and let me know that I am not annoying gave me a little nudge deep down in my heart that I am not too weird to him, hence making me feel a bit better.

"You know Mr. Horsie will cry now if you don't ride him. He's been waiting for you for a long time now." He tries to lighten up my mood, which did work. I smile softly and end up moving away from him finally.
"Thank you for comforting me, and I am sorry for this again." I bow to him deeply out of gratitude for the care he gave me a few seconds ago.
"Don't be sorry; it's fine," he says reassuringly as I smile at him.
"Come, let me put you up again, or you will just keep hanging onto him." he says and immediately picks me up, putting me on the ride that made me giggle.
"I wish I was tall enough to get up on my own."
He shakes his head, chuckling at my comment, and sits beside me again.
"Don't cry again, okay? Scaredy cat."
I gasp as he giggles after making fun of me.
"Hey! I am not a scaredy cat." I pout.
"Sure, you're not. You are a strong girl who cried riding the horsie." He starts being playful again, making me whine.

"It wasn't because of that."
The ride starts slowly, and this time I am fully aware of it, which is making me a little scared for real. I hold onto the rod in front of me for support as I giggle cutely at the moments of the ride.
I could hear the giggles from beside me as I turned to him.
"Is this your first time as well?" I ask him.
"First time with you, yes."
We both started giggling more while enjoying the rest of the ride being happy.

A few minutes later, the ride comes to a stop.
Taehyung, as usual, swiftly gets off the ride and comes to me to get me off.
"No. Let me try." I say this sternly and try to move my leg across the horsie.
"Shit," and there goes my confidence. I got stuck; it is a bit too high for me, and I was scared to make a jump and stay hanging again.
Tae is busy laughing at me. Sadly, I can't see him because he's behind me, but it was making me feel embarrassed.
I love to try new things on my own. I got it from my mother. She's one strong woman who always taught me to be independent and never be afraid to try out things with confidence. I was also a certified brat who never listened to people, making me overly confident at times. But heights will be a curse for me forever.
I start whining when he swiftly grabs me by my waist and pulls me down.

"I did say you are a shortie." I stare at him while he keeps teasing me. Weirdly enough, it feels better now; that tension is finally gone.

"What next?" he asks me as we walk away from the ride.
"Umm, you say now. One me, one you?" He nods, agreeing with my suggestion. "Come," he says while holding my hand again and pulling me.
Being an ambivert, it's always difficult for me to maintain a calm posture at first meet-ups, but the social butterfly side of me gets me adjusted to the surroundings pretty fast. The touch of his felt natural this time, even though I did blush a bit.

I follow him happily, and he comes to a stop in front of the rollercoaster.
"Okay, bye. Good luck riding alone." I wave at him and start to walk away, but he pulls me back.
"Nope, you are coming with me." and starts dragging me in.
Roller Coasters are terrifying for me, and I was sure I would pass out if I rode one. Heights scare me a lot, and those twists and turns were already making me numb.

I stare at the ride, gulp and worry about my life as he calls for me.
"Come over fast!"
"CAN WE PLEASE SKIP THIS? IT'S REALLY SCARY. I'LL WAIT FOR YOU," I start to run away as soon as I say that, but Taehyung's tall legs gave him an advantage over me as he caught me soon enough and dragged me over to the seat, leaving me all whiny.
It really feels like I am with a close person on a friendly date. The way Taehyung was interacting with me made me really comfortable around him, even though I have a big crush on him.
But everything feels right around him now. No nervousness, no awkward idol-fan interaction, nor any professionalism or politeness. He teased me like a friend would casually do to you, right on our first meeting.
He indeed is the sweetest, and it makes me admire him even more.
