"Hobi-ah, hurry up! It's almost time to start!" you whined as you scuttled around the living room balancing two entire bowls filled to the brim with buttered popcorns before placing them carefully beside the coffee table which staggered under the weight of multiple snacks of black cat cookies, pretzels butter cups and mini pepperoni pizzas. 

Letting slip a series of mini- giggles, you found yourself being over the moon while you busied yourself with arranging the little platters of snacks on the table and occasionally skipping over and fluffing up the couch cushions. It was the very first night you were going to be watching an entire hair-raising horror movie with your boyfriend Hoseok and you didn't want to delay even for a moment and of course, everything needed to be just perfect.

"Baby, do we really have to watch this tonight?" As you fluffed the cushions, you rolled your eyes and giggled playfully as the slightly exasperated voice of your boyfriend which was wearing a pout echoed through the living room with those of his footsteps following soon after.

Turning around with a broad smile, you caught him standing by the doorway of the living room entrance wearing his ever so comfortable looking yellow and white pajamas complete with his feet snuggled into a pair of furry sunshine slippers. He had his arms crossed in front of his chest and his lips bore the most adorable pout ever, making you almost want to walk over and capture them in a loving kiss. Clutching a long blue blanket that trailed behind him on the floor, he gave a light glare yet it didn't intimidate you, it only made you love him more.

"Oh, come on, Hobi-ah." you wailed a little too dramatically at this. "It's just for one night and we've never watched a horror movie together before."

It had taken you quite a few weeks in order to convince Hoseok to join you in watching a horror movie. The first couple of times he had gently turned you down as anything that has monsters, blood or people getting killed always managed to get him weak in the knees and his stomach to churn. 

Therefore, he had tried multiple times to lead you away from the idea by offering to have a romantic movie night instead but your iconic stubbornness kept insisting on what you wanted the most from him. 

After so many weeks of hardwork that consisted of you giving him cheek kisses every single time you ran into him and constantly telling him of how romantic it actually is for a couple to enjoy a horror movie together, he had no choice but to reluctantly give into your wishes. Nevertheless, it apparently didn't mean that he was not willing to try his chances of asking you to change your mind at the last minute, no matter how impossible it seemed to be.

His once rigid face couldn't help but soften at seeing your pleads. "But love, you know that scary stuff aren't my thing." he gently tried to explain to you, his big innocent eyes touching your heart.

Closing your eyes, you sighed a heavy breath before opening them once more to gaze directly at his lovable self. "I know,"  you sighed before starting to slowly make your way towards him. Stopping directly in front of him, you leaned in close to him and placed your hands on his cotton clothed chest. 

"But baby," you continued with a sad smile. "We have never watched a horror movie together before... and I've always wanted to," you trailed off forming a slight pout as you subconsciously fiddled with the borders of his pajama collar. 

You heard him give out another sigh and felt him lightly clasp your hand which was holding his collar in his warm one making you look up at him. "But baby, we can always watch a cute romance movie or a funny comedy?" he tried to persuade you with hope glistening in his eyes yet you bit your lip and gave a small shake of the head. "No, we watch them all the time." you mumbled looking away melancholically before adding. "I want to watch something different...with you." 

Realizing that the challenge was getting harder than getting a camel to pass through the eye of a needle, you turned to your final resort which had always guaranteed you good fortune and which was your limited playing card. Taking a deep breath, you gazed directly at Hobi's soft chocolate brown eyes and made yours big as you can and your lip to form a pout and quiver ever so slightly as you gave him your best impression yet of your puppy-pleading-eyes.

"Please, baby? Can you watch this movie with me just this one time?" you desperately pleaded while putting your hands together before you. "I promise that after this I will never ask you to watch a horror movie with me ever again."

As he gazed into your innocent and endearing eyes, the sight of you made Hobi's heart melt into a pool of gooey mess like a bar of chocolate being left alone under a sunny sky. Just how could he possibly bring himself to reject his soft angel? Even if it meant that he'd have to watch a gang of devils wreck havoc inside his television screen. 

Chuckling affectionately, he let go of the blanket that he was holding, making it fall onto the floor in a pile, before using his free hands to reach out and gently cup your face before leaning down and planting a sweet kiss on the tip of your nose. 

Pulling back, he lovingly gazed at you as he tenderly stroked your cheeks. "You're lucky that I have a hard time saying no to you, cutie." he giggled before leaning down to peck your nose yet again. The feather light touch of his lips felt almost ticklish making you scrunch you nose and giggle. "Hobi-ah!" you playfully whined, lightly hitting his chest.

Seeing you behave in an even more adorable way with your nose scrunches and whining only fueled his inner desires for you as he effortlessly took your face in his palms again. This time, instead of your nose, he decided to lightly brush his lips, which were as soft as the petals of a rose, against your own before love took over his heart and he passionately locked his lips onto yours, kissing you contently and lovingly. 

Heart almost completely stopping in the process, your eyes fluttered shut and you kissed him back with just as much emotions. However, the romantic exchange was brief because the both of you pulled back after a couple of minutes with a smile.

"Okay, Hobi. I'll get the movie ready." you said while flashing a grin at him before skipping excitedly towards the DVD player underneath the grand TV.

Picking up the blanket from off the floor, Hobi casually made his way towards the sofa before plopping down onto the cushions and bringing his legs into a crossed position. Scanning the coffee table of snacks placed before him, he picked up a mouthful of popcorn and shoved them into his mouth and munched on them as he patiently watched you sitting on the floor infront of the player, rummaging through the DVDs.

 "Found it!" you announced victoriously holding up the DVD cover over you head. Just a glimpse of the front cover made Hobi shudder. It looked simply vulgar with what appeared to be dried blood red animations coating the movie title and monsters with abnormal structures that looked as if they could pounce out of the cover any moment. 

How was he going to survive the night? But then he drew a deep breath and tried to calm himself as he remembered that him watching this would ensure your smile and that's the one thing he wanted. He munched on another fistful of popcorns in an attempt to cool his shaken nerves... and the movie hasn't even started!

Soon after you had slid the DVD into the player and the screen started to display the gloomy opening credits, you hopped onto your feet and started to make yourself towards Hobi. Expecting you to dive onto the couch and snuggle upto him, Hobi scooched over and held up the blanket for you, yet you completely ignored him and walked past him, making him turn towards you with a confused frown.

"Y/N?" he questioned and he found you near the light switches before you pulled them down, engulfing the entire room in a thick darkness with no light save for the dim light of the lamp beside the sofa and of course the blue light that emitted from the TV screen.

"Can't have a horror movie night with the lights on." you explained with a smile as you finally plopped yourself down beside Hobi. However, you didn't forget to turn off the soft light from the lamp to Hobi's utmost despair. As he felt you warmly snuggle yourself into his chest, Hobi couldn't help but silently wonder about how before this night, every time you would turn off the lights, it would cause his excitement to grow but now for the first time ever, he felt terrified.

Chilling hours passed and the movie played on. The demonic screeches of the creatures as they attacked the innocent were amplified by the powerful speakers which surrounded the room, causing the walls of the room to thud as if an earthquake was taking place. Hobi was trying his best to not run away. The movie had gotten so petrifying that he had drawn the entire blanket over his body, covering his head with only his horror stricken face peaking out. Each time the movie managed to make him jitter and leap, he would wrap himself even tighter in the comfort of his blanket, cocooning himself. 

After a few moments, you had to stifle your laughter because when you looked to your side, you found that Hobi had covered himself completely by the blanket, that he looked like a little blue ghost sitting beside you. Truth be told, you too were beginning to get slightly panicked as your eyes glued themselves to the screen yet so far the movie was intriguing so you wanted to keep watching.

Each time a demon flung itself at the camera, you would gasp and your hand would immediately feel for Hobi's comfort besides you. No matter how afraid he was, Hobi always accepted your hand and gave it a warm and gentle squeeze instantly calming you down. He would continue to hold your hand close to his chest as he tried not to shake.

Pretty soon, a most devastating scene came up. One of the monsters ended up killing the lover of the main character and that was enough to shatter your once brave domineer. The entire scene as it played over was so cruel and so graphical that it almost made you sick. You couldn't take it anymore as you screamed in fright and you felt the tears spring into your eyes.

"NO! PLEASE TURN IT OFF!" you shrieked as you violently thrashed around on the sofa clenching your eyes shut. Hearing your desperate shouts, Hobi immediately rose from under the blanket in a panic. 

"Y/N??" he stammered alarmed as he took in your terrified mess. He immediately pulled you into one of his huge embraces not before grabbing the remote from the table and switching off the movie without a second's glance. Reaching over the sofa, he switched on the light of the lamp, immediately brightening up the room and making the atmosphere appear more friendly and pleasant. 

Scooping you up in his arms, Hobi let you bury your head into his chest as you cried long and hard, heart still thumping aggressively. "Y/N,  it's alright, love." he soothed as he gently ran his fingers through your hair and wrapped the blanket around you. "The movie is over. No one can hurt you. I'm here with you" he firmly yet gently assured you as he planted a kiss on your forehead.

 "It was really scary," you whimpered into his chest. "I'm sorry I forced you to watch it, Hobi. I feel terrible. You were probably more scared than me."

"Oh, my sunshine," he lovingly murmured, lifting your face to meet him before placing a sweet kiss on your cheek. "The movie wasn't the one that scared me the most." he explained with a smile making you look up at him confused.

"What do you mean?"

Chuckling, Hobi held your face and leaned in and kissed you nose one more time. "I mean that, when you suddenly started to scream, that was when I was really terrified." he admitted with a sad smile before adding,

"Because, my cutie, nothing scares me more than losing you or something bad happening to you." he confessed so lovingly that it made your cheeks flush crimson.

"Now," Hobi added with a chuckle as he playfully ruffled your hair. "Why don't we watch a romance in my room? We can eat chocolates and make out whenever the actors do. How does that sound?" he asked you with a grin, already knowing your answer.

"I'd love that!" you giggled as you hugged him tighter. Then off he carried you bridle-style to his bedroom not forgetting to pepper your nose and face with loving kisses the whole way there.
