it was a few days before christmas and chloe was still living with the boys. her company found her a new apartment, but she wouldn't be able to get situated for another few weeks.
she was able to get to know the boys a lot better, which was the perfect time. since it was almost christmas, she planned on going shopping for gifts.
all of the boys got together to do a secret santa and they included chloe as well, since she was a part of the family.
k insisted on going shopping with chloe to be her source of "protection" as he put it, but that was a minor issue since she was k's secret santa.
"do you want to go eat first or shop first?" k asked as he started the engine.
"up to you," chloe replied.
k turned up the radio, so the car ride wouldn't be completely silent. one hand was placed on the steering wheel, while the other was placed on the gear lever.
he slowly removed his hand from the lever and intertwined his hand with chloe's, making her quickly turn her head.
"hey- both hands on the steering wheel," she spoke, scrunching her face.
"but i want to hold your hand," k flirtatiously replied, playfully winking.
they weren't dating. chloe didn't know what they were. no one did. the two always acted like a couple, but they never confirmed it.
whatever it was, chloe was slightly relieved that she didn't have to put much thought into anything relationship wise.
she definitely had feelings for him. she enjoyed his presence, having him by her side. she loved how he cared for everyone and brought out the best in every situation. she loved how k always knew what to say to comfort everyone. she loved his smile and laugh and how he would always look at her like she was the world. she loved how he made her want to be the best version of herself.
she loved him.
but she didn't know if the feeling was mutual. however, she didn't let it affect her mood.
"shopping might take a bit longer, so let's go eat first, yeah?" he asked, receiving a hum.
—
after eating, the two went to a public outlet, making sure their masks were on.as much as k wanted to hold chloe's hand, he knew it wouldn't be good if fans ran into them, so they closely walked side by side.
chloe suddenly gasped and ran over to a puppy she saw from afar, k going after her.
"can i please pet it?" she asked the owner who seemed to be a middle aged woman.
"oh of course," the lady smiled.
"hi angel," chloe smiled, bending down to pet the pup.
"this is emmy. she's a golden retriever pup," the lady spoke.
"how old is she?" chloe asked.
"four months."
"oh my," chloe gasped, "she is so precious."
the woman smiled at chloe who stood up next to k, "oh you two look adorable."
chloe widened her eyes and looked at k, "oh- we're- we're just .."
"i'm sorry for cutting this short, but i've got to hurry somewhere. it was so nice to meet you," the woman said before walking away.
"oh you too," chloe replied.
"well you seem to love dogs," k spoke after the woman walked away.
"oh i love all animals," chloe responded, "they're so precious, especially little pups."
"why don't you have one then?" k asked.
"oh i so wish i did, but i haven't had the time to go to the shelter. i wish i could adopt every pup in the world. they're just so cute," she pouted.
k groaned, "you're making it so hard for me to not kiss you right now. you're adorable."
"y-yah .." chloe stuttered, "i'm going to go search for a gift now .."
"then i'll come with you," k stated.
"no!" chloe exclaimed, shocking k, "you stay right there. i don't know if i can handle anymore of your flirting."
k looked away and bit back a smile, "okay, how about we meet right here in twenty minutes?"
"twenty minutes? deal," chloe nodded before turning around.
"wait- chloe," k called out, making her turn around, "be safe okay? watch for your surroundings and call me if something is wrong, okay?"
"k," chloe chuckled, "i'll be fine."
"but call me if you're not, promise?"
"i promise," chloe nodded.
"one more thing," k spoke.
he placed both hands on the side of chloe's face and quickly kissed her forehead before walking away with a smile.
"did- he just sneak another kiss?," chloe mumbled to herself, unknowingly smiling under her mask.
