IM BACK YA'LLLLLLLLLLL

PENG'S BACKKKKKK~

-Start of Chapter 62-

The world felt like it had shifted under me.

The kiss was over, but its warmth lingered like an echo in the cold air. My lips tingled, my heart raced, and I could still feel Soobin's hand on my cheek, grounding me in a moment that was so surreal it bordered on a dream.

The snow falls heavier around us, a shimmering white curtain that muffles the rest of the world. But I don't notice the cold or the damp flakes clinging to my hair. 

I can  still feel the warmth of Soobin's lips against mine, his hands cupping my face gently as if I might disappear at any moment.

I can't stop the soft laugh that escapes me, my forehead resting against his. "You're crazy" I whisper, my breath visible in the frigid air.

Soobin grins, his eyes crinkling with that boyish charm that makes my chest tighten. "For you and you only. You like that don't you?" His dimples grow deeper, his eyes disappearing 

I chuckle, nudging him lightly. "You're insane."

Soobin grins, his thumb brushing against my cheek. "I've been told. But if kissing you makes me crazy, I don't want to be sane."

The line is so corny, I can't help but groan, lightly swatting his chest. "Oh my God, Soobin."

"What? It worked, didn't it?" His grin widens, so proud of himself that I start laughing again.

"You're such a dork" I say, shaking my head, but I don't move away. I don't want to.

He leans closer, his voice dropping to a playful whisper. "Your dork."

Before I can respond, he captures my lips again, this kiss slower, more deliberate, as if he's savouring every second. His hands slide down to my waist, pulling me closer, and I can feel the faint tremble in his touch—like he's nervous but determined. It makes my chest tighten in the best way.

"Okay, okay" I mumble against his lips, breaking the kiss with a breathless laugh. "We're going to freeze to death if we don't move."

Soobin chuckles, his nose brushing against mine. "Fine. But only because I don't want you catching a cold."

"Oh, so now you care about my health?" I tease as he takes my hand, his fingers intertwining with mine.

"Heyy!! I was the one took care of you all those days!!"

The walk back to the dorm feels surreal, like we've stepped into a snow globe where nothing exists except the two of us. 

The snowflakes stick to his hair, melting on his lashes, and I can't help but steal glances at him.

"Why are you staring at me?" Soobin asks, catching me mid-look.

"I'm not" I lie, looking away quickly.

"You so are" he says, his lips quirking into a teasing smile. "What is it? Do I have snow on my face?"

"No" I mumble, my cheeks burning.

He tilts his head, pretending to think. "Oh, I get it. You just can't resist my charms."

I roll my eyes but can't hide the grin tugging at my lips. "Keep dreaming."
