LEE EUNMI
"why so sudden huh?" we were now at the starbucks and taehyung bought me my favorite drink! caramel frappe is my all time fav though. "well you said you wanted starbucks soooo."
"excuse me, when huh?" he let out a short chuckle. i turned my head to look at the view outside. it looks cloudy. i think its going to rain anytime soon. "eunmi." taehyung called out for me. when i turned to look at him, he had this straight look on his face.
"y-yes?" i darted my eyes anywhere but not him. what is he thinking? "im dead serious." i could feel heat crept up my cheeks. damn you! why are you blushing over little things huh? "a-about what?"
"courting you." his determined voice made it clear that he is not playing around. dont stutter. let me repeat, DO NOT STUTTER. "o-okay, then." thank goodness i have my drinks. i sipped on my frappe while i avoided his gaze, which im sure he has a smile on his face.
"i want to take you somewhere." i nodded and we both headed towards the exit. "wait!" he turned around and looked at me. "i want another cup of my frappe." i showed him a goofy smile. he rolled his eyes but then ordered my drinks again. yeay!!

our drive took an hour to reach the place. this area is obviously not familiar to me so i guess its somewhere far from home. we stopped in front of a gate and taehyung told me to get off. "is this the place?" he smiled and then winked at me. i cant help but to smile too.
"but its locked. how are we getting in?" yeah, the gate is locked. i dont find anything special in there. its just, a field of grass and full of green plants. "guess we'll have to climb it up then." he knelt in front of me and put out both of his hands in front of him. im utterly speechless, i mean its kinda sweet dont you think? i tried my best to hide a smile that was about to be seen by him.
i stepped on his hands and managed to climb up the gate. when we were both inside, i was still confused why he brought me here. there is nothing to see actually. or thats what i thought. "come." he pulled me into the bushes and there it is, a secret door.
"how do you even know this?" he answered with a slight smirk on his face. "i have my ways." he opened the door for me and right after i entered the other side of the field, my jaws dropped. its a garden, full of variety of colorful flowers. it is a breathtaking view. i cant help but to smile widely.
"h-how..?" i turned my head to see him smiling while looking at me. "welcome.. to my secret hideout." we walked around, admiring the beauty of this garden. "i used to come here when i needed space. or when i have such big troubles. this place kinda sooth me."
"that was.... sweet." i turned my head away from, but i can feel him smiling beside me. but, "wait, how many girls ave you brought here?" i crossed my arms on my chest, slightly pouty actually. i mean, he must have brought someone else here right? maybe lina, his ex? ugh just thinking about it made me sad.
he let out a low laugh, that eventually grow louder each seconds. "what? im not making jokes here." i hit his arm a few times but he kept laughing. he sure knows how to be annoying. after a whole minute of laughing, he inhaled some air before replying to my question.
"no i havent." i looked at him slowly and he has that kind of look, he is serious. "youre the first one i brought here." well, i could feel the tense between us now. we were staring at each other and i know that look on his face. hes going to kiss me.
as much as i want to move away, i cant. its like something is preventing me from doing anything else but to look at him. he is leaning in, with his eyes still on mine. i bit my upper lips, hesitating whether i should let this happen or not. i mean, he is my husband and its not wrong to kiss him. but something is stopping me.
i could finally turned my head away. my heartbeat is unstable, its beating so fast that i swear taehyung could hear it. "l-lets go home. its getting dark."
i heard him sigh behind me. "alright."
