Angel of Sanctuary [Block B]

Chapter 18

•• Hyorin ••

I watched U-Kwon, Jaehyo, and P.O walk away with a sigh before turning to Taeil and bowing quickly. "Thank you for coming to pick me up!"

"No problem! Are you ready to go?" I spotted Angel Taeil floating above Taeil and swallowed hard as he winked and blew me a kiss. Taeil stared at me curiously and I shook my head with a chuckle. "You're not ready to go?"

"No, I'm ready to go! Sorry about that, I was just distracted." He waved it off with a chuckle and then gasped and grabbed my hands.

"Hyorin, you're freezing cold! Quick, come to the car before your hands freeze and break off!" I chuckled at his worry and then nodded before following him to the car. "So, U-Kwon tells me you're doing work with VIXX?"

I nodded in agreement with a smile. "They're all really nice! I'm glad that I get to design for their next album. I'm starting designs today because I need to get a general layout of the outfits before the Jesa ceremony. It's too much to have on my mind."

"Understandable," Taeil agreed with a slow nod. "So, where did you want to go for shopping?"

"Ah, I need to stop by a supermarket for food. I need food for home as well as for the ceremony," I told him with an embarrassed chuckle, scratching the back of my head awkwardly.

"No problem!" Taeil gave me a thumbs up with smile and I attempted to hide my small smile. He chuckled and then ruffled my hair. "There's that pretty smile that Park Kyung has told us so much about!" I blushed and then stared out of my window while I bit my bottom lip.

"Who am I being forced to hang out with tomorrow?" I asked him quietly with a chuckle.

"I believe Jihoon. He's really excited to spend to time with you." I was silent and then sighed with a smile. "Hyorin?"

I shook out my mind and then laughed awkwardly before turning to Taeil. He stared at me with a worried expression and I cocked my head to one side. "Is something wrong?"

"I was about to ask you the same thing," he chuckled with a shake of his head and a small smile. "Anyway, how are your designs coming along out of curiosity?"

"My designs? Well, I haven't exactly drawn anything yet, but I have the general sense of how I want them to look. I haven't seen their actual styles for the song, but I have a pretty good feeling that they'll look really good!" I said with a grin, giving Taeil a thumbs up. He smiled encouragingly and then sighed as he pulled up in front of a supermarket.

"Alright, let's go!" he cheered with a grin. I smiled and nodded in agreement, getting out of the car and walking towards the entrance. There was a force that hit the side of my face and I stood stock still as slushy, cold snow leaked down my face. Taeil burst into hysterical laughter and I stared at him in shock before smirking and forming a snowball.

He continued laughing until I nailed him in the face with a snowball. "Taeil, you don't challenge country kids in a snowball fight unless you have a death wish!" I shouted challengingly.

"Come at me Miss Twin Braids!" he retorted with a smirk, aiming a throw at me. I quickly dodged and scooped up a handful of snow before hurling an ice ball at him. "I'll crush you in this fight!"

"You wish!" Taeil and I sprinted around the parking lot, laughing and throwing snowballs at each other over all of the cars. I hit him several times and he hit me just as many, if not more time. I eventually surrendered and he held his arms open with a laugh before hugging me. I chuckled, panting hard in the dimming light. My breath formed little clouds in the air and I felt myself falling asleep.

"Hyorin, I think we should go shop," he whispered with a chuckle. I nodded in agreement, too tired to say anything. Taeil half dragged half led me into the supermarket and grabbed a shopping cart before staring at me expectantly.
