I decided to visit a cosmetic shop after school to buy some nail polishes since I got a sudden desire to do a nail art. The project was also in my hand keep reminding me that I have to finish it by Thursday. I even borrowed some books from the library to put the right facts in the project.

"Ughajjwjswhshswwbgswkwkak"

My body cringe out of nowhere with a quick recalling jof what happened back at the lunch break when I was doing the project with Taehyung.

"Nooo! Oxy-"

I don't know why I lack body balance so much that I fell on Taehyung again. He dropped on the grassy ground causing me yo fall on top of him. My eyes widened in shock feeling his hands around my waist.

"Both"

His wild soul came out, popping a bubble. I gulped, witnessing his seductive smirk as I was getting shiver down my spine. But in a sec his face changed as one of my hair strands was touching his nose. He immediately blew it away crinkling his nose.

"Aish, another thing.
Don't.
Pout!"

I could feel my cheeks getting red with his remark causing me to quickly got off of him. The air felt awkward as hell that I took the project before run off to the school building.

Pheeww...

Even when I remember it, it can make my cheeks crimson red. Just then someone grabbed my wrist from behind snapping me out of my embarrassing thoughts. When I was about to look behind, the person walked in front of me. 

Taehyung.

I don't know how I'm supposed to face him; I mean I kind of feel uncomfortable.

"Let's go to the nearby children's park. Then we can finish this and get the full score!"

But why it's a children's park from all the other better place around!?!😐

He held my hand and was about to drag me but I didn't move. I'm against this idea; I hate kids I mean the noisy brats.

"Ho-how are you planning to finish this project with those little br-brats around?"

"Oh c'mon let's go! They aren't brats, they are cute! Teacher will give us full score if we finished this by tomorrow!" He whined pulling me forward.

"I feel something fishy though" I knitted my brows suspiciously scanning him. But all I got was a pouts in return.

"Shall we please go?"

It was a plain awkward moment until we reach the park. All he did was blowing bubbles. But he didn't let go of my hand.

The thing I just realized was that my hands were quite small compared to his hands 😅. Technically my hand was covered with his. I never thought mine were this small.

After 3 minutes of walk, we reached the park. There were some preschoolers playing around in it and some primary students from another school wandering around and playing. We sat under a shaded tree and started to do the project. It was such a chao with the loud laughters and screamings of those little brats duh.

Since I couldn't help it, I just had to go with the flow. This time, he wrote everything that we should add in the project while I helped him to find the correct information to put in it. Surprisingly his handwriting was pretty good. When I was reading one of those biology books, finally I found the correct answer for the thing we fought.

"Yah! Look! See? See?? It's Oxygen!  Not Carbon Dioxide 😛" I beat him, pointing the fact in the book.

"But still, my theory is it's Carbon dioxide.😌"

"What is your previous planet actually?" I was getting really annoyed by his nonchalant sarcasm.

"Hmm, probably it was earth––or was is Pluto?! Nah it was earth"

"You know that Pluto is a dwarf planet right? Plus its much smaller, perfect planet for you" I let out a sarcastic giggle as a comeback shot.

What do you expect Kim Taehyung!?

"Yeah sure, you are invited" He nonchalantly remarked with a teasing smile before resume his duty.

Every time he pops a bubble, my focus on the book got interrupted causing me to shift my head automatically towards him.

"Anyways, how do you actually blow those bubbles?" As curiosity overflowed, I couldn't help but ask him.

"It's magic"

"Just spit it already 😒"

I got annoyed as in return a wide grin plastered on his face. He maybe low-key knew that I was interested in it.

"I will teach you how to blow bubbles then!😀"

He exclaimed with a huge grin on his face as his hands running inside his jeans pocket. He took a gum out and put it on my palm.

"Chew it till the taste disappear"

He instructed before focusing on the project again. I had to chew it for more than fifteen minutes. I couldn't help but ask him time to time if it was enough chewing. But the only thing he said was to chew it more, every time I asked him that question.

"Now???😥" I asked finally heaving a deep sigh like I just released a huge weight from my shoulders.

"Good! Now flatten the gum against the top of your mouth" He advised showing me the way to do it, doing it by himself. I followed the way he did but failed. But in the next attempt, I could do it properly.

"Lower the flattened gum to the front of your mouth"

How can I do that thing?

I was clueless not having any idea of doing it. Then he showed me how to do it. Like that he taught me the rest tips of it.

But I guess I failed to blow it more than a hundred times. My mouth was so tired that it wasn't even doing what I wanted to. Finally, I was about to blow a fine bubble when suddenly a ball hit my back causing me to stumble on him.

This is why I hate those little brats ugh!

But you know what?

I never expected my lips to press against Taehyung's. I couldn't take my eyes away from his magnetic eyes like they were glued onto eachother. I quickly got off of him and looked aside, with reddened cheeks.

"Are you okay?"

"Aish do I look like I'm okay??!?!?"
I cursed under my breath massaging my temples. I didn't think he heard me until he taps my shoulder causing me to tremble in shock. I couldn't say anything more other than avoiding his eyes. 

"Like this, see? " He came to in front of me blowing a fine bubble as if nothing happened at all.

I couldn't help but to slightly grin as he blew bubbles tilting his head to my level. He moved closer as I was looking down.

"C'mon, try again, you can do it"

So I tried again, following his instructions.

Finally...

"Yayyyyyyy seeee??? Seeeeee??? I did it!!!"

I exclaimed in joy that I even forgot what just happened when I saw the bubble coming out perfectly. My focus that was on the bubble suddenly changed seeing him looking at me in a way that I couldn't describe.

"Can I know your name? You know I don't know it yet"
