hot chocolate

4

as we entered, the strong aroma making me feel like home, i saw taehyung sitting where i left him looking at me sceptically. i just nodded at him and grabbed your hand moving you further away from him. we sat in the smaller, more secluded place where we could talk in peace.

you stood up to order something for us while i played with the rings on my fingers. a few times i glanced at you and examined your side profile. you looked so precious and every single feature of yours was so soft. at one point you looked at me and smiled and i could swear that at that moment my eyes were heart shaped.

i didn't know you that long at all, for me you were still a stranger but i found something so interesting about you and i had yet to find out what it was.

my thoughts were interupted when you put the tray with our order on the table. 'hot chocolate for you, my lady' you said cheekily, amusment laced with your voice. i smiled and thanked you quietly. i hated how i was shy when things like this happened, you made my stomach swarm with butterflies and fill my heart with warmth and happiness.

'tell me about yourself' i said looking at you playing with the straw of his hot chocolate. your head shot up in an instant. being caught off guard by what i just told you. 'm-myself?' your head tilted slightly to the side, a pinkish color appearing on your chubby cheeks. you was shy.

i smiled at the sight.

'yes, about yourself. like, your favorite color, food, animal, what are your hobbies, some of your likes and dislikes?' indeed they seemed like basic and stupid questions, but i found them so special and you get to know the person more based on what they like and dislike after all.

a smile creeped up on your pink face, still playing with the straw. 'oh.. well, my favorite color is black, even though it isn't a color. i mean, isn't it obvious?' you showed to your outfit that you wore today. you were in all black. 'i love eating everything, my favorite food is probably the 불고기 ( bulgogi ) my mother always made me when i came back home to daegu.' i noticed that your smile fell slightly after that, but you fixed it soon with a cough.

'i could talk about my hobbies all the time, but for the most part i love producing music. music is my biggest passion and my only real happiness. i truly don't know what would i do if i didn't pour my feelings into the music that i make' i nodded, seeing how passionate you really were.

'my likes aren't that big to be honest' you laughed to yourself 'but i do like sleeping and eating.. and um...' you sighed, moving your view from me onto your long fingers. i raised my eyebrow, waiting for you to say something. 'and?' i said. 'um.. i like holding hands?' you said it more like a question, the tone of you voice down like you were embarassed telling me.

i instantly softened all over the place, i was in awe knowing that the thing you also liked was holding hands. it was so adorable. 'cute' i said, looking at your reaction. you flushed an even deeper color of red and a giggle escaped your pinkish lips making me even more in awe.

i don't know what came over me, but i slowly took your large hands and held them in mine. you were surprised, as i was too, realizing what i just did. but none of us pulled away our hands. i saw your cheeks still flushing, mine were burning, but the smiles still never leaving our faces.

my eyes never left your face as i analyzed your features, and at that moment i realized that i liked you, min yoongi.
