The rain stopped after a while, we were just sitting and gazing at the stars, that filled up the night sky. We weren't awkward about the ecstatic moment that we just shared, rather both of us, we were happy about it. At least, I was for sure. I don't know about him. I glance at him and he's smiling and biting his lip, a wider smile spreads across my lip, he seems much more happier than I was, and well to think about it, he's the one who initiated the kiss right?
My fingers brush my own lips as I re-think of my first kiss.
My first kiss in the rain, and otherwise.
"Want to do it again?" I didn't realize Taehyung had his eyes on me. I lick my lip and if it weren't for the night, he would've seen how hard his simple comment made me blush. He chuckles and ruffles my head before standing up and holding out his hand to me, which I gladly take within a split second. Our fingers intertwine and he pulls me into his chest as I get up.
"You're cute" he giggles and kisses my forehead before letting me go. I pull a strand of hair behind my ear, "Thanks" I mutter and we walk together.
"I want to know more about you." I turn my head at him. We had stopped moving and stood beside each other, facing each other.
"What do you want to know?"
"Everything." I giggle, his gaze is playful yet sincere.
"There's nothing interesting about me to know, trust me."
"Everything about you is intriguing, Hikari." my eyes lit up at his words, I've always been under appreciated, all my life.
"Let's start easy, what's your type?"
"In what?" I reverted back and he smirked.
"Why are you smirking, which by the way you do a lot." I roll my eyes playfully and his smirk is now replaced by a lighter laugh and chuckle.
"Nothing." he shook his head, his smile still glued to his lips.
"Your type in boys? Like ideal type, you know?" we literally just kissed, why does he have to ask that.
"I don't know, someone who provides what I've been deprived of my entire life, someone who understands me, and accepts me just the way I am-"
"Wait, what do you by someone who provides what I've been deprived of my entire life? What have you been deprived of?" I inhale, I gulp and I stare, not aimlessly, with purpose, with emotions into his eyes.
"Love & Affection." I barely finished my sentence and his lips crashed on mine yet once again, the kiss earlier was tender and sensuous, but this one, it seemed more cruel, aggressive.
Possessive.
His hands fall down from back, lowering down to my waist and he pulls me closer until there's no space left between us at all. My chest heaves with excitement, my mind is blurred with the amount of emotions running through my body, an electricity runs all over me. I thought they only just said that in movies and books, but now I believe, because now I feel it.
He pushed me down on to the ground and his body overlapped mine, I couldn't process what was happening, it was too fast. But I couldn't help but smile and manage to meet up to his standards of kissing. I closed my eyes and let the moment, and the ecstasy of the moment take over me. In that kiss was the sweetness of passion, a million loving thoughts condensed into a moment
"You deserve so much more." his lips part mine as we both gasp for air, he slowly shifts his body and lies beside me, his hand embraces mine and I smile, I feel like I've never smiled more in my entire life than I have when I'm with him.
"I think it's time that we headed home?" I broke the silence yet once again after we've been lying down for what seems like a few minutes, I tilted my head as I questioned, he simply nodded in response along with a smile as usual.
Just as we parted from the ground, and we stood up, hundreds and thousands of small light-flashing insects, fireflies, Rose from the grass around and filled the atmosphere around us. They made it all look so dreamlike, a surreal mix of beauty and fantasy of vision. This couldn't get any more magical and unreal than it was in this particular moment.
Taehyung is just as amazed as I am in this illusive, bewitching garden.
Its us against the world, its just him and I that exist in this momentary silence, with just the sound of us breathing and insects chirping. Where was I all this time? Why were we so close, living in the same country, same city, yet so far away. Now standing beside him, I'm looking at him and it seems mythical, more like a fairy-tale, I don't want it to ever end.
If it's a fairy-tale, then so be it, I'm ready for whatever comes my way, I'll fight cause,
I'm in love with a Fairy-tale, I'll risk it all to be by your side, just once, tell me that this feeling, these emotions aren't one-sided, Taehyung.
"I could stay here all night, but I'm pretty sure everyone must be waiting for us to return." I nodded in response, I'm expecting too much. But today was the best day of my life, and I mean it when I say it, it was. It will forever be engraved as a precious memory in my mind.
Soon we returned back to the car, after our short silent walk among the garden lit up by the fireflies. We were rain-soaked, steam rising off our clothes and condensing on the windows. The fug of body odor, perfume and laundry soap hangs oppressively above our heads. I was completely soaked through, almost as though someone has thrown a bucket of water over me.
"Have you named this place of yours? This garden?" I spoke suddenly unable to take the smothering, uncomfortable silence.
"Not yet." he sighs, turning his towards me "Wanna do it together?" I could think of a few names.
"How about..." I placed a finger on my head, turning my face expression into a scrutinizing detective ones, as I think of a name.
"The secret-" I almost instantly regretted saying that, because I knew it was too obvious, a very common name. I could see by his expression, it wasn't a likely name.
"How about.." he starts this time "Serendipity" I smile at the word, not just because it was Jimin's solo, but because Serendipity means the occurrence and development of events by chance in a happy or beneficial way. He considers me with him and us here a fortuitous event, a happy meet, a beautiful worthwhile moment.
A gave him an agreeing smile "Fits perfect!" he knew it did.
We didn't say much on the drive home. 'Home' I like the sound of it. A temporary home rather, I don't want to think of it that way but can't ignore the actuality. A reality check really.
I was fatigued, a little weary I guess because I remember drifting off to my fanciful Dreamworld, but he was saying something, he was talking to me I guess, obviously, but I was far too exhausted to listen to it.
