With the secret of their relationship now out in the open, the atmosphere in the dorm had shifted dramatically. The other members welcomed Taesan and Leehan's relationship with open arms, playfully teasing them but also offering unwavering support.

One week later, the group had a rare day off, and they decided to spend it together at a nearby park, enjoying the fresh air and sunshine. As they spread out a blanket on the grass, the laughter and chatter filled the air, but Taesan and Leehan found themselves gravitating toward each other, their chemistry undeniable.

As the afternoon sun began to dip lower in the sky, casting a warm glow over everything, Taesan leaned back against the blanket, pulling Leehan down beside him. The other members were engrossed in a game of frisbee, leaving the two of them in a cozy bubble of their own.

"Looks like we have a moment to ourselves," Taesan said, his voice smooth as he shifted closer, their shoulders touching.

Leehan felt the familiar flutter in his stomach at the contact. "I guess so," he replied, trying to sound casual, but the intensity in Taesan's gaze made it difficult to keep his composure.

"Good," Taesan said, a mischievous smile playing on his lips. "I've been meaning to ask you something."

Leehan raised an eyebrow, intrigued. "What's that?"

Taesan propped himself up on one elbow, his expression playful yet sincere. "What are you wearing under that shirt?"

Leehan's heart raced at the unexpected boldness. "That's quite the question!" he replied, trying to maintain his composure. "What if I said it was something embarrassing?"

"Then I'd have to make it my mission to make you feel less embarrassed," Taesan replied, his voice low and teasing. He leaned in closer, their faces mere inches apart. "How about I show you just how good I am at that?"

Leehan felt heat rush to his cheeks, a mix of excitement and shyness washing over him. "You're impossible," he laughed, his heart racing.

"Maybe," Taesan said, his gaze locked onto Leehan's. "But you love it." He brushed his fingers lightly against Leehan's arm, sending shivers down his spine. "Besides, we have to make the most of our freedom now that everyone knows."

Leehan swallowed hard, feeling the weight of Taesan's words. "You're right," he said softly, his heart racing as he leaned closer. "We should definitely take advantage of this."

As if sensing the shift in the air, Taesan grinned and moved even closer, their lips almost touching. "I've been thinking about that kiss we shared in the dorm. It felt... electric."

Leehan's breath hitched at the memory. "Yeah, it did," he admitted, unable to tear his gaze away from Taesan's. "I can't stop thinking about it."

"Then let's make a new memory," Taesan said, his tone shifting to one of seriousness mixed with desire. He leaned in, capturing Leehan's lips in a soft, tentative kiss that quickly deepened. The world around them faded as they melted into each other, the kiss igniting a fire that had been building between them since the beginning.

When they finally pulled away, both breathless, Leehan couldn't help but smile. "Wow."

"Wow, indeed," Taesan replied, his eyes glimmering with affection. "I could get used to this."

"Me too," Leehan said, feeling a rush of warmth. "But we should be careful... what if someone sees?"

"Let them," Taesan said, his confidence shining through. "I'm done hiding how I feel about you. I want everyone to know you're mine."

Leehan's heart swelled at the declaration, and he leaned in for another kiss, this one more passionate and fervent. Taesan responded eagerly, his hands finding their way to Leehan's waist, pulling him closer as the kiss deepened.

The sounds of laughter from the others faded into the background as they became lost in each other. Just then, Woonhak's voice broke through their bubble. "Hey! Get a room, you two!"

They broke apart, cheeks flushed, laughter spilling from Leehan's lips as Taesan smirked, undeterred. "We're just enjoying the beautiful day!"

"Yeah, right!" Sungho shouted back, shaking his head with a grin. "Keep it PG, okay?"

With playful banter surrounding them, Taesan turned back to Leehan, an undeniable spark still dancing in his eyes. "They'll never let us live this down, you know."

"Good thing I don't care," Leehan replied, a smile spreading across his face. "I like having you all to myself, even if it means sharing a few kisses in public."

Taesan chuckled, the sound warm and inviting. "So, more kissing, less hiding?"

"Absolutely," Leehan agreed, feeling exhilarated by the prospect.

As the sun began to set, casting a golden hue over the park, Taesan took Leehan's hand in his, intertwining their fingers. "Let's make this a day to remember," he said softly, his gaze sincere.

With the others still playing nearby, Taesan leaned in once more, planting a soft kiss on Leehan's lips. "You're my favorite secret," he whispered against Leehan's mouth, making his heart race.

"And you're mine," Leehan replied, his smile wide as they shared another kiss, feeling free and alive in the moment.

As laughter and joy enveloped them, they knew that whatever challenges lay ahead, they would face them together, hearts intertwined in a world where love could bloom, even in the shadows.

And so, under the warm glow of the setting sun, they embraced the intimacy of their relationship, ready to take on the future hand in hand.
