A KISS TO SEAL OUR LOVE

As the car glided smoothly down the winding road, the soft hum of the engine was the only sound filling the space between them. Taehyung had one hand on the steering wheel, his other arm resting casually on the center console, just inches away from Jennie’s. The sunlight filtered through the trees, casting dappled patterns of light and shadow across their faces.

Jennie gazed out the window, trying to calm the fluttering in her chest. The gentle sway of the car and the warm sunlight made the atmosphere feel almost dreamlike, but what truly made her heart race was the presence of Taehyung beside her. She could feel his occasional glances, his eyes lingering on her before returning to the road.

Finally, Jennie gathered the courage to look over at him, catching his gaze just as he looked back at her. Their eyes met, and for a moment, the world outside seemed to disappear. There was something in the way he looked at her, a softness in his expression that made her cheeks warm.

Taehyung noticed the faint blush that crept up Jennie’s neck, and a small smile tugged at the corners of his lips. Without breaking eye contact, he gently reached over and placed his hand over hers. The simple touch sent a jolt of electricity through her, and she instinctively intertwined her fingers with his, her heart pounding in her chest.

“You look beautiful today,” Taehyung murmured, his voice low and sincere.

Jennie’s blush deepened, and she turned her gaze back to the window, though she didn’t let go of his hand. “Thank you,” she whispered, her voice barely audible over the soft hum of the car.

For a while, they drove in comfortable silence, their hands still clasped together. The scenery outside became more lush and green as they left the city behind, the dense trees and rolling hills creating a sense of peace and seclusion.

As they rounded a bend in the road, Taehyung slowed the car and pulled into a small, hidden clearing. The car came to a gentle stop, and Taehyung turned off the engine, the sudden silence amplifying the sound of their breathing and the beating of Jennie’s heart.

“Come on,” Taehyung said softly, giving her hand a reassuring squeeze before he let go and stepped out of the car. Jennie followed suit, stepping into the warm embrace of the afternoon sun, feeling the soft breeze against her skin.

Taehyung walked around to her side of the car and offered his hand, a smile playing on his lips. “Let’s take a walk,” he suggested, his voice filled with a tenderness that made her breath catch.

Without hesitation, Jennie took his hand, feeling a sense of anticipation bubbling up inside her. They walked together into the woods, the world around them fading away as they ventured deeper into the serenity of nature, lost in each other’s presence.

As they walked hand in hand through the peaceful woods, the sound of leaves crunching beneath their feet mingled with the soft rustling of the trees. The air was fresh, carrying the earthy scent of the forest, and the sunlight filtered through the canopy, casting a warm, golden glow on the path ahead.

Taehyung glanced over at Jennie, noticing how the light played on her features, making her look even more radiant. He smiled softly and gently squeezed her hand, drawing her attention to him.

“This place is beautiful, isn’t it?” he said, his voice a soothing murmur in the quiet of the woods.

Jennie nodded, taking in the surroundings. “It really is,” she replied, her voice equally soft. “It’s so peaceful here… I feel like I can finally breathe.”

Taehyung’s smile widened as he looked ahead, guiding them along the path. “That’s exactly why I wanted to bring you here. I thought it would be nice for us to escape, just for a little while.”
