The sounds of the night are welcomed by Y/N as they walk to the playground, the wind gently blowing their hair everywhere. Snow crunches below their feet as they get closer to the pond. "It's beautiful!" Y/N mumbles as her eyes scan over the small flowers that float on lilly pads, "How are these still so pretty? I thought the cold would've destroyed them by now.." "Beats me." Taehyung mutters, "I think we have people who have made the pond a little insulated so the flowers can continue to flourish." Y/N leans over and taps her fingers against the water, smiling softly as it ripples away from her. "It's kinda warm? Hard to tell when your hands are cold." Without thinking, Taehyung takes her hands and rubs his along the outside of her skin, trying to create a little warmth for them. "What do you think is prettier? The interior of the building or the pond?" Y/N blushes lightly, thankful for the darkness of the night, before she answers him.
"The pond definitely. There's life and tranquility here." Taehyung's hands continue to rub against hers as he nods his head in agreement. "Understandable. It's also very calming here to at night. The undead's sound effects don't seem to be able to reach here, and I can't tell you what a relief it is when you have silence after hearing them all day." "Taehyung, we basically have the same jobs, so I get it. This place is like something out of a book." The female looks down at their hands and feelsher cheeks heat up again. "You can let go of my hands now. They're plenty warm.." His hands drop hers immediately and wipe themselves along his pants, "Right! Sorry." Taehyung looks at her, then sqats down to poke at a nearby water lily. "It's fine.." Y/N mutters after a few seconds of silence before overlooking the pond again. "So, why do you like those flowers so much?" Taehyung quizzes as he kneels down to fish one of the lillies closer to the two of them.
"They just seem delicate to me." Taehyung scoffs before looking up at her, his brown eyes trained on the outline of her face. "Oh, c'mon, Y/N. That can't be the only reason. Dig a little deeper." The woman presses her lips together as she glances at him then back to the voided water, decorated with floating flowers. "Dig deep, huh?" Y/N mumbles as she runs a hand through her dual-dyed hair, "I like them because they can float wherever they want. Nothing disturbs them unless the seasons change or someone fishes them out." By the time she finishes speaking, her eyes are back on Taehyung again, watching as he tries to remove the flower from the lily pad. She tilts her head before kneeling next to him. "What are you doing?" He messes with the flower for a few more minutes before pulling the main part of it away and throws the lily pad farther into the water. His fingers tear the stem to make it shorter then, he turns to her.
Another pair of brown eyes are zeroed in on another face as hands that grasp the flower raise to the female's hair, gently sliding the flower behind her ear. "There." Taehyung murmurs softly, "Now, you can match with your flower. Delicate, free, and strong." As Taehyung speaks, he slowly moves closer to Y/N, his line of slight flicking between her lips, her eyes, and then back again. Y/N doesn't move while she keeps her eyes on him. The moment he's right in front of her, her eyes flutter shut as she leans in the rest of the way. Their lips connect, and a small buzz of electricity shoots through their veins before they slowly start to move in sync with one another. Taehyung's hands find their place on Y/N's cheek and waist as he pulls her closer to his frame. She bumps into his chest lightly and puts her hands against his chest to prevent her from moving any further. The kiss is sweet and slow, the warmth they share doesn't even let the cold compare.
They pull back after a few minutes, their knees are numb from the cold, and the current position they're in as the water from the melted snow soaks into their pants. They look at one another as small clouds from their breaths puff into the air and dissipate. "You taste like strawberries and honey." Taehyung mutters as he strokes Y/N's cheek with his thumb. "And you taste like nicotine." Y/N states, earning a small laugh from Taehyung, "That and mint toothpaste, which actually isn't a bad combination.." Taehyung continues to laugh before rising to his feet and helping Y/N to hers. "Well, thank you, I guess. Your taste has to be my favorite compared to pizza, 'cause no one can compare to pizza." Y/N bursts into a fit of laughter as the two of them start to slowly walk back to their rooms. The silence is comfortable until Y/N breaks it with a question. "Why did you kiss me?" The brunette turns to look at her with a raised eyebrow. "Hmm?" "Why did you kiss me? Was it because you felt something, or were you just caught up in the moment?"
Teeth gnaw lightly on a lower lip as a sigh passes through his nose. "I think, for now, it was just a fleeting moment.." Y/N glances at him with a small nod, then masks the tiny drop of disappointment that lingers in her stomach. Taehyung notices the change in her attitude but doesn't comment before he speaks again. "But I think it could go somewhere. I did feel something when we kissed." Y/N looks down as a small smile lights up her face. "Well, this is me. Goodnight, Taehyung." "Goodni- Wait." Just as Y/N turns to respond to him, Taehyung kisses her softly again, his hands gently cupping her cheeks. He pulls back. "Goodnight, beautiful."
