22 | night

"What would you call Iron Man when he can't take his suit off?" you laughed before even telling the answer.

Taehyung giggled, knowing something would be coming up.

"Tony Stuck."

For a second, he bit his lips and cover them by his palm unable to control his laughter. But, soon enough loud wheezes were heard from the boy which resulted in you to laugh as well.

After coming back from the ferris wheel, you and Taehyung both took a seat at the benches with an ice-cream in hand.

As you looked ahead at the crowd of people, your mind took you to Jungkook. There in front of you were couples who were either younger, same or older than you.

However, right now you were with Taehyung. But, do we look like a couple as well, like the others do? you wondered.

There wasn't much distance between the two of you since the bench was small anyways. On taking a quick glance a him, you saw him looking at the sky above.

Following his gaze up, you saw fireworks. And they were beautiful.

How come I didn't notice that?

In the dark sky at night, were bright firecrackers. Among the stars dancing and moving along. The stars giving them a look of a vast universe at the back while the lights from the crackers standed out. And indeed they were glorious.

People gathered around to look at it or either take a photograph. Maybe storing a memory they will remember forever with their loved ones.

"I wonder how it feels..." Taheyung softly let out.

After a moment of silence, you ask with your eyes still at the sky,  "Feels what?"

"To be loved."

After hearing his words, you turned your head towards him and found him looking at you. His black orbs stared at you without looking away as you found yourself lost in them.

For a second you thought his eyes darkened. Though in the end you looked away, still you could feel him staring at you from your peripheral vision.

After a while you were too immersed in looking at the fireworks to notice him anymore. When you gazed at him again, his eyes were on you.

It took you off guard for a second so you looked away again.

"You're shy." he spoke.

"Eat your ice cream before it melts." you let out, changing the topic.

However, on seeing Taehyung from the corner of your eye, you saw him looking at the cone of vanilla ice cream in your hand before he smiled and looked away.

"You bite your ice cream?" he asks, amused for some reason.

I nodd. "Yeah, you don't?"

"I prefer licking." he states.

"Oh." you unknowingly answer, too engrossed in savoring the ice cream to give much attention to his comments.

"What do you prefer?" he questions after a while smiling as you continued eating.

"Same." you answer without thinking with your mouth stuffed with a big bite of vanilla.

"Barain frizz." you shiver and closed your eyes while tapping your forehead with your fist as the coldness from it reached your nerves.

Taehyung eyes your lips for a long time as some of the ice cream drips from your mouth since you stuffed it too much.

Licking it off, you eat the last pieces of the cone and lick the tip of your fingers clean. Meanwhile, Taehyung on the other hand found it disgusted at first.

He had never seen a person, more like a girl eat like that in front of him. It was weird at first but seeing you lick the corner of your mouth, his heart beat accelerated like a roller coaster.

Different images started playing in his mind vividly as you licked the white cream off the corner of your lips. Shaking his head, his threw the rubbish in the trash near the bench.

"Are we ready go now?"

"Back home?" you asked as you stood up and walked towards him.

"Hmm." he nodded.

After a little walk to his car, you and Taehyung got in as he drove away. Looking out through the window, you kept your head against it and looked at the night sky.

The moon was abnormally large and it bathed the earth with its luminous glow. With not many stars at the sky, it looked like a black hue that of a black hole.

You rolled down the window as the fresh air filled your lungs and you felt refreshed and exhilarated. Even after gulping down a whole bottle of soju, your head felt light.

On breathing the fresh air, you sensed as if your inner body was being cleaned up. You had never went out late night for hangouts that too with a man. Mainly because you were scared.

But, somehow with Taehyung, you felt that you were safe. Without any harm.

Can you trust the man you've met just months back? you internally asked as you closed your eyelids due to exhaustion.

You remember how Jimin didn't like when for the first ever time you took a sip of alcohol. As if the overprotective brother had awakened and he snached the half empty glass of alcohol from your hands and told you to go back to your room.

You vividly remember how you stomped your way to your room and continued puffing heavy breath through the nostrils trying to show your best that you were angry.

But, still he was Jimin. He came back to your room when the little gathering was over and scolded you. With a warning of not seeing you drunk again, he left your room.

A sudden feeling of guilt rised in as you felt like you broke a rule. A promise.

A promise that you sealed with your pinky fingers that you'll never drink again, may be a sip or a gulp. However, being with Taehyung, you completely forgot who you were.

The not–that–friendly girl was having fun today without a care in the world, she was out with a man late at night without being scared. It honestly felt good.

Soon enough you felt a warm feeling on your legs. Opening your eyes slightly, you saw Taehyung's jacket on your lap spread over your thighs.

As the trees swayed gently in the breeze, your hair blew along softly. With a tender smile lingering on your lips and a feeling of security within you, you closed your eyes again.
