the pair got off the bus at the tenth stop and looked around at the unfamiliar place around them.

aera beamed happily when she noticed blooming cherry blossom trees that surrounded the place.

soobin looked over at the girl who stood in awe and felt contented that he was getting somewhere in their relationship.

"come on, let's explore the place," soobin said and took her hand in his again before marching off towards a random direction.

aera felt her heart racing but shook it off when soobin flashed a comforting smile her way. his dimples truly made her heart melt and she couldn't help but smile wider.

after a while of exploring the foreign place and snapping occasional photos of each other, the pair decided to rest underneath the biggest cherry blossom tree they could find.

"are you hungry?" soobin asked as they lay side by side a picnic blanket they bought at a convenience store.

"not really to be honest," aera responded sheepishly.

"well i am!" soobin exclaimed as he sat up and took out a lunchbox containing his bread and rice cakes.

"it's adorable how much you love bread," aera commented while soobin munched on his food happily.

"bread is the only comfort i have in this world," soobin said, his cheeks stuffed with bread.

aera sat up and couldn't resist herself frompoking his cheeks, in which he jumped slightly at her sudden action.

"i'm sorry, you're just really cute," aera cooed and continued poking his cheeks.

soobin only glared in response as he continued munching on his bread, stuffing his cheeks in

aera giggled and laid back down on the picnic blanket as she admired how the cherry blossoms slowly fell to to the ground. it was indeed beautiful especially how the blue skies complimented the mood of the place.

"let's play a game!" soobin suddenly said and laid back down beside aera.

aera pondered for a moment before noddi her head in agreement. soobin let out a small sigh of relief, his pending questions were finally going to be answered.

"twenty-one questions. you have to reply honestly! if you ask two questions at once, you get a penalty," soobin smirked at the end as aera playfully rolled her eyes.

"deal! i'll ask the first question," aera said and soobin nodded his head eagerly.

"what was your first impression of me?"

"i found you rude. you literally found me weird for helping you pick up your belongings," soobin admitted as aera shot him a cold glare.

"you bumped into me!"

"and i picked up your stuff!" soobin bickered back and laughed when he saw aera roll her eyes again.

"fine milady, you win okay?" soobin comforted while aera continued pouting.

"anyways, my turn. what was your first impression of me?"

"i thought you were cute," aera replies earning an offended expression from soobin.

"were?"

aera laughed and turned her head towards soobin.

"you still are, don't worry,"

soobin grinned cutely in response and stuck out his tongue at aera.

"it's my turn! why did you suddenly give me a chance after rejecting me? you clearly didn't like me at the start, so why did you decide to be nice to me?" aera rambled.

"okay first of all, that's two questions asked. we're only supposed to asked one question per turn!" soobin commented.

"and what about it?" aera retorted back as a smirk tugged onto her lips.

soobin scooter his body closer to aera as he lay sideways. his sweet gaze was mixed with a hint of lust as she waited innocently for his response.

"kiss me,"
