Chapter 21: Girlfriend

His lips crashed onto mine.

Even though I'd known what was coming, I wasn't ready for it. I gasped the minute his lips landed on mine. I suddenly felt the air around me go cold and I lost all sensation in my entire body. All I could feel were his lips on mine.

Slowly, he deepened the kiss. Our lips were now moving in synchrony as we both leaned into each other. I wrapped my arms around his neck and pulled him closer. His hands came up to my waist and wrapped around it.

I could taste the strawberries we'd had for dessert and I smiled to myself. His lips were so soft, so delicate that I almost bit them. It wasn't the rushed and heated kind of kiss like last time. It was slow, allowing us both to breathe and yet breathtaking at the same time. I wanted to stop time in that minute.

This kiss signified all that we'd ever felt for each other. All the butterflies in the stomach, the blush that crept up my face every time he was near, everything. It made me realise just how close we'd grown in the little time we'd known each other, and as happy as I was about kissing Taehyung, I was also scared of losing him.

I've had my share of losing people. One moment you're with that person and the next they're gone. Gone to some far-off place from where there's no returning.

Taehyung has become such an integral part of my life in such a short span of time that the mere thought of him not being with me brings tears to my eyes.

I have no idea how long we stood there with our lips locked but in those few minutes, I had a strange realisation. The way he was kissing me, it was almost as if it was something he'd been wanting to do the minute he'd laid his eyes on me. And not just that. It also made me realise how much I'd wanted this. The minute our lips collided, I'd known I never wanted this moment to end. I could've stood there kissing him like that forever, if that was possible.

After what seemed like several hours or just a few seconds, we broke apart. Taehyung looked deep into my eyes and smiled my favorite smile.

Although we weren't kissing, neither of us moved out hands away from each other.

"You like your birthday present?" Taehyung asked with the sweetest voice.

"Very much." I replied and smiled.

"I can't find them! Where the hell are these three? I swear I saw someone run upstairs!" I practically jumped when we heard Jimin shout from the hallway.

"I-I think we should get out." I said and Taehyung nodded.

He walked to the door and I followed. But before opening the door, Taehyung tuned around and looked right into my eyes.

"Happy Birthday." He said and it made me melt.

"Two more days, Sooyeon. I know I'm making you work a lot, but I promise that you'll love the trip." Ms. Mijin said.

I smiled at her. I was at my desk in the staff room, arranging the papers. My supervisions were done for the day.

I'd been a little late today because I'd slept in. Yesterday night after Taehyung had driven me home, because I was too sleepy to even get up, I'd just collapsed onto my bed without changing.

After we'd finished the game, all of us were sprawled in Ruhi's room. The boys had started arguing over mint chocolate. When Jin had yelled, "Why eat Mint Chocolate when you can straight up go and have Toothpaste?", that is when Ruhi lost it. She kicked all of them out of the house and everyone finally left for home.

It was 8th March today, two more days until the exams finish. The high school students were being taken to a trek on 15th March and Ms. Mijin wanted me to come too, because apparently I had been a huge help in the past month.
