the night grew darker and it was soon time for the guys to get back home. i said goodbye to each and every one of them as they congratulated me on my birthday. i met eyes with yoongi as i got to see him smile. "congratulations again," he said to me. i smiled and gave a nod to him, thanking him.

he, then, left through the front door leaving hoseok as the last person. i was nervous again as i saw him standing there and then walking over to me. "you coming hoseok?" namjoon called out to him. i stood at the doorway as hoseok looked at the others.

"uh, i'm going to stay behind for a bit," he replied to them. some of them gave smirks before seokjin spoke up. "alright. see you hoseok. bye haesoo!" he said along with the others following him. blushing a bit, i watched with hoseok as the boys set their ways back home. and then, hoseok and i were finally alone.

"want to go out for a walk?" he asked softly. i looked at him and gave a nod of my head. the two of us walked down the street and turned left at the corner where we walked down to the park, the route i usually take home on the way from work, the place where i first met hoseok.

"well, would you look at that? this is where i first saw you," hoseok said smiling as he had his hands behind his back. i continued to walk looking around the place. "yeah.. i know. i thought you were some homeless person walking around," i said trying give a laugh for the both of us.

"i'll never forget that moment," he said softly before we slowly came to a stop next to the very same bench that stayed under the same tree where we met. "did you really mean that?... when you said you wanted to be with me?" he asked so suddenly. his sudden words caught my attention and i looked at him shyly. now that he was bringing it up, i felt suddenly really shy and embarrassed.

"i-i did... i just... it's so hard. how can someone fall in love so easily? how can one not worry about the hardships that might come later on? the pain.. and hurt?" i start to falter.

"hey, it's okay. i get what you're trying to say. i guess not all relationships can be perfect... but it's worth trying. if you like or love person as strong as they do to you, then you don't have to worry about anything. as long as both partners have each other in their lives and they're satisfied being with each other, then you have nothing to worry about," hoseok said.

"you make it sound... so nice and simple," i softly said as i looked away from him.

suddenly, i felt his hand grab mine.

"i promise that i will treat you right, haesoo. whatever it takes..."

i blushed a deep red color before i looked up at him and into my eyes. "i think i might kiss you," i whispered so soft. i noticed our faces were growing lesser in distance between each other. his gaze never look away from mine as we stared into each other's eyes.

a small grin grew on his face before he closed the gap between us, gently pressing his lips against mine. i felt the sparks inside of me go off and about. it was right then and there, i had felt the feeling i had longed for ever since the first time i had kiss him. this time, it was only longer.
