Without another word, Heeseung begins leading the way down a secluded path away from the from the bustling crowd. The night air is crisp, and clean here devoid of any noise pollution aside from their footsteps crunching against fallen leaves beneath them. "This place used to be my hangout spot," He admits as they walk along. "Back when nobody dared to set foot here because of me."

"Yeah?" Leiya asked, curious of the backstory and enjoying the calmness of the night. Heeseung nods, glancing back at her over his shoulder. His smirk widens as he notices her curious expression. "Yeah," He confirms, his voice echoing softly in the stillness of the night. "This place used to belong only to me." He pauses for a moment, turning towards her fully. His eyes roam Leiya's face once more- taking in every detail- before he finally speaks again. "But I guess things change."

Leiya steps closer to him. "And why is that?" Heeseung watches as she approaches, his eues never leaving her face. He's intrigued by her boldness, the way she steps closer without any fear or hesitation. "I guess because people change," He replies, stepping back just enough to keep the close proximity. "And sometimes, unexpected things happen." His gaze drops to your lips before returning to her eyes. There's an intensity in his eyes, almost an unspoken promise of some sort. He leans in slightly closer, closing the gap between them until they're practically breaths apart.

"You make it sound so creepy.. what are you going to kill me or something?" Leiya chuckles.

"Creepy?" He repeats, tilting his head. "I'd hardly call it that." His hand reaches out instinctively, fingers brushing lightly against her arm. The touch is fleeting, yet surprisingly intimate. "No," he murmurs softly. "More like... intriguing." Leiya stared at his lips as he spoke. Heeseung notices the direction of her gaze, a soft laugh escaping him. Don't get lost in my lips just yet," He teases, stepping back slightly. "We haven't even reached our destination." despite his attempt to keep things light hearted, there's a hint of anticipation in his voice. This isn't the kind of adventure he had ever imagined sharing with someone else, let alone someone who could potentially change his status quo.

"But don't worry," He adds quickly. "It'll be worth it."

"Who said I was lost in your lips? You looked at mine first." Leiya shrugged.

"Oh, is that so?" He muses. "So you weren't checking me out?" The teasing lilt in his voice suggests he's merely playing around, but there's an underlying curiosity there too. It's rare for someone to stand up to him like this- let alone return his attention with equal parts sass.

"Well then," He concludes after a moment. "I suppose we're even."

"Maybe I was checking you out, what are you going to do about it?" Leiya teases suggestively. Heeseung's eyes flash with amusement at her suggestive words, a devilish grin spreading across his face. He takes a step closer to Leiya, his body almost touching hers. "What's the matter?" He purrs, leaning in even further. "Afraid of what might happen if I decide to find out?" His hot breath fans over her face as he speaks, the tantalizing scent of coffee lingering on his tongue. Leiya pulls his shirt slightly.

"Definitely not afraid..." She replies and stares at his lips for the millionth time. Heeseung's eyes darken at her touch, his heart pounding a bit faster in his chest. He lets out a low chuckle, leaning down slightly to match your height.

"Is that so?" He whispers huskily, his voice barely audible over the rustling leaves around them. "Because you sure have a funny way of showing it." His hands move to rest on either side of her waist, trapping her between his strong arms. The proximity is intoxicating - every inch of his tall frame was sending waves of heat through her body.

"And here I thought I was supposed to be doing all the chasing," He continues teasingly. "Not the other way around." Leiya felt hot at his touch and traced her fingers gently along his defined jawline. Feeling her fingertips trace his jawline sends a jolt of pleasure coursing through Heeseung's body. He closes his eyes briefly, savoring the sensation before opening them to meet your gaze once more.

"You really know how to push buttons, Don't you?" He murmurs, a smirk tugging at the corner of his lips. "I'm starting to think I might enjoy this game..." His hands tighten slightly around Leiya's waist, as he leans into her touch, enjoying the feeling of being chased for once. The dynamic shift is both exhilarating and confusing, stirring up feelings within him that he hadn't anticipated experiencing with someone like her.

"But remember," He adds playfully, "the chase is always more fun than the catch..."

"Shut up Heeseung." Leiya replies, leaning in close. At her command, Heeseung lets out a soft chuckle, his eyes twinkling with mischief. He leans in closer, his warm breath fanning over her face.

"Oh Leiya," He murmurs teasingly, "always so bossy..."
