Autumn Angel | JHS ✔

.thirty-two.

It's cold. It's freaking cold. My breath fogs up everytime I try to breathe in the harsh air through my scarf, and each time, I feel my lungs freezing more and more. It's physically impossible to take deep breaths without my chest tightening, and when I touch the tips of my fingers together, no sensation is registered. I shove my hands deep into the pockets of my coat where hot packets are hidden and I shiver. 

I look up at Hoseok who is not faring well either. The tip of his nose is red and his hand lifts to wipe it quite frequently. Our matching tops are from our shopping spree exactly a week ago. It's weird to think that my life had completely changed in only one week. It felt shorter and infinitely longer at the same time. 

"I should have brought ear muffs," I say with a smile as I reach up to pinch Hoseok's pink ears. Although that in itself is a feat since I still can't feel my hands. 

"I would hold your hand, but I don't think the cold would be an exception for us." 

I nod in agreement, although the movement is uncontrolled and spastic. The cold was really getting to me. 

Hoseok laughs and leans down to rub his forehead against mine. "Let's go." 

Today was another date, although this time, it's for a different camera. My hands try to scream in protest when I pull them out of my pockets to take out my camera, but considering how I couldn't even feel them, the shouts are muffled and weak. "How do I do this? I've never done this before." 

"Just act casual and easy. It should be fun and exciting." 

Translation: look like you're having fun and like you're excited. 

"Hey! It's Autumn!" I say once the camera starts rolling. I look up at Hoseok as we walk further into the amusement park. "Do I even bother introducing you? I mean, you're the entire reason why they would probably click on my video." I talk with a smile, but when Hoseok looks down at me, I know that he can see through my mask. People would click on my video because Hoseok was in it. This was a given fact. They were not here to see me. They were here to see Hoseok. I was just another bridge. 

"Do you want to try that again?" he asks softly. 

I sigh and nod before turning back to the camera and plastering on another large smile. "Hey! It's Autumn, and today, I'm here with my boyfriend. Why don't you introduce yourself?" 

Hoseok puts on his own grin. "Hi, everyone. My name is Jung Hoseok and I'm Autumn's boyfriend." 

"They already know that. You're supposed to introduce yourself." 

Hoseok shrugs. "I think that's enough of an introduction." 

I look up at Hoseok and he just smiles down at me. The unspoken message he was trying to tell me is clear: with me, he was my boyfriend, not a member of the most popular idol group in the world. It was something he was trying to tell to not only me, but also to the entire world. 

I shake my head in admiration. "You're amazing, Hobi." 

He winks at me. "Only for you, Angel." 

I grin up at him and then turn back to the camera. "Anyway, both of us are here at an amusement park even though both of us are terrible at riding roller coasters. On top of that, it's freezing so yes, to confirm your suspicions, we are that one stupid couple that makes idiotic mistakes together." 

"Hey, do you want some ice cream?" Hoseok asks right as I finish. 

I stare up at him with wide eyes. "Hobi, do I have to pull out my phone to show you the temperature or has the cold just gotten to your head and made you crazy?"
