Jin POV

"Did I ever tell you that I used to think the moon was made out of cheese?" I look over laughing at my silly boyfriend as he continues playing with my fingers.

"I think everyone thought that at some point." I replied. "That's why I wanted to be an astronaut when I was younger. I wanted to try moon cheese. Once I found out it wasn't a thing I decided on culinary school." I say interlocking our fingers. We've been laying down in the middle of his garden since my shift ended almost two hours ago. It's been six months since I decided to give us a chance and things have never been better. For the first time since my mom was still alive, I can honestly say that I'm happy, as if someone filled up the void I had in my heart.

"I can tell. You're a really good cook. I think you can open your own restaurant someday." He says distracting me from my thoughts.

"Yeah, I just have to finish school first." A cool breeze hits us and I feel an arm wrap around my waist and pull me closer.

"You haven't finished?"

"I was on my last year when I dropped out. I wasn't keeping up with school or the bills so I had to quit. As you can see even that wasn't enough because I ended up here." I let out a small chuckle. "I'm quite the failure. I don't know how my mom did it."

"No you're not. Admitting you need help and doing something about it just shows how strong you are. And as for school I can pay for you to finish. It's one more year anyways."

"Tae there's no need for that. I came here to work to earn money for my studies not for you to pay for them."

"I mean I don't see the difference the money is still coming from me." I can hear him get slightly annoyed. "We can also spend more time together aside from the hour before breakfast starts and the couple hours after your shift is over."

"Technically the money comes from your dad and I'm working for it. Just taking money from you because we're dating isn't right." I respond starting to break away from his grasp.

"I don't see anything wrong in helping you out. I don't know if you've figured it out but I have a crap ton of money paying for you to finish your last year wouldn't even cause a dent in my bank account."

"Tae, I'm not dating you for your money. I'm dating you because I really like you and I like how I feel around you." He sighs in defeat and finally gives in to my wishes.

"Its annoying how stubborn you are."

"Isn't that why you took an interest in me to begin with? Because I didn't give in so easily to your playboy tricks?" I tease.

He sits up next to me and let's out a sigh as we both look back at the beautiful clear night sky. "Honestly, at first you were just another pretty face that I wanted to fuck for one night and then get rid of the next day." He admitted.

"What changed?"

"You shot me down." He chuckles. "That's never happened to me before. I never had to do much. Women would just automatically throw themselves at me. Even men who claimed to be straight would let loose with me just for curiosity. By the second day you were here, though, I was already feeling certain things around you." I turn my head to look at him to see that he was staring at me with his sparkling eyes. "That day I promised myself that I wouldn't fall in love with you, but before I knew it was four in the morning and I was completely wasted on your bedroom floor. We talked about random crap and I found myself feeling happy for the first time in years." His lips shape up into a smirk. "It was then when I knew I was screwed."

"Kim Taehyung are you telling me that the biggest playboy in Seoul has fallen in love?" I tease, but honestly my heart is practically beating out of my chest at the possibility of his answer. He lays me down on the grass and hovers over me.
