Today is Children's Day and here I am at the mall all dressed up as Pikachu from the famous children's anime series, Pokémon.

All I've been doing since morning is taking out pictures and stamping Pikachu's little paw print on postcards for these children but they seem really overjoyed so naturally am I too.

"Eomma! It's a female version of Pikachu!"

I've heard that line countless of times today and usually after that line they come running towards me at top speed just to have their photo taken with me- like I had mentioned.

This experience is golden and pretty cute but at the same time I'm praying on my lucky stars that no-one from school decides to suddenly show up because like always, embarrassment is my worst enemy and I'll die from it.

I glance over at my watch after the little kid runs off and it's just after noon. My employer said I could take my break anytime from after noon and as I ponder if I should my eyes scales across the platform.

There, I see a male version Pikachu, so he can easily take over for the both of us but then again I'm not all that famished. Maybe I'll just wait another hour.

A few minutes into the clicking of photos and stamping of postcards I suddenly get a phone call. I quickly finish off with the kids and move towards a corner. There I pull out my smartphone only to see that I'm receiving a call from Jimin.

The sight confuses me but I answer it nonetheless.

"Jimin ssi?" I speak into the receiver.

"Ah Soo Yeong ah~, annyeong." His voice sounds breathless. "Are you busy?"

"Ah, well... Sort of. Why?" I question, with a worried expression. "And why are you so breathless?"

"Aish... Dance practice is going on longer than expected and I promised to meet Taehyung ah~ at the mall after noon. Can you take my place if you're aren't busy? He needs to get a gift for his grandmother. I really can't bail practice and I feel bad for ditching him." Jimin explains a mouthful and I'm taken a back by his dilemma.

Jimin's implores are hitting me straight in the heart because he sounds genuinely hurt but I really don't want anyone to know that I'm working this casual job.

What do I do?

"What about Jungkook ah~?" I question, hoping that he'll be able to take up the task.

"You know I already tried." Jimin sighs. "And he's stuck with his computer games."

"Typical Jungkook..." I sigh. I guess I'll have to take my break sooner than expected then. "Fine but you owe me okay?"

"Thank you Soo Yeong ah~. You're the best! I promise I'll make you dumplings!" He exclaims but I only chuckle.

We say our good-byes then hang up and immediately after I heave the heaviest sigh I ever did.

"Aish Jimin and Hoseok-nim..." I lock the screen to my smartphone. "Now I'd have to show myself to Taehyung in these clothes."

The animated tears threaten to spring from my eyes.

After informing my employer that I'll be taking my lunch break, I run off to find Taehyung since I only have an hour to spare.

He said he'd be near the store called Gucci and it's really not that far from where I was but at the same that's a dangerous piece of information because imagine if Jimin didn't bail then both him and Taehyung could've spotted me in this Pikachu outfit.

My soul just left my body.

I go up the escalator and once I'm off the mechanical mechanism I look around a bit for Taehyung, and finally my eyes spots a very familiar and sharp looking male leaning against the railing and overlooking the people down below.

He's dressed in a denim jacket, black pants and that famous Gucci loafers of his but that mouth mask of his is missing- is he feeling better?

"Taehyung ah~?" I nervously say, after going up to him and after hearing my voice he turns around.

"Oh Soo Ye-"

He freezes when he sees me, and instantly I know it's because of the outfit. I shut my eyes and accept a subconscious death then I take a breath in and out and I open up my eyes.

Upon doing so, my cheeks flush a bright shade of scarlet because he's scanning me bottom to top.

I watch as his eyes trails from my black sneakers, passed my yellow socks that have tiny lightening bolts on them, up to my black thigh lenght skirt, over my bright yellow Pikachu hoodie that has black sleeves and again lightening bolts sewn into them, then finally my face that has a neutral amount of make-up on it.

"Uh..." I gape with a blush but I notice his eyes shoot up above my head and his gaze stays there for seconds on end without blinking at all.

My eyes widens when I suddenly realise why he's staring.

Oh man, holy shit.

In my haste, I forgot to remove my Pikachu head band.

Surprisingly, for the first time since I left my work station, I consciously feel the Pikachu ears dangle above me but I quickly pull it off my head and shove it into my hoodie pocket.

"Why are you dressed as Pikachu?" Taehyung finally manages to speak, and obviously a little laugh leaves his lips as he approaches me. "Are you celebrating Children's Day as well?"

I scoff shyly, and tug at my hoodie sleeves. "If I recall I'm still under eighteen so that means I still qualify to be a child, you nut."

He only laughs, and pulls out his smartphone, "Let me get a picture of this."

My eyes widens at his devious plan and I immediately pounce at him, holding onto his accessorized wrist that just dug into his pocket, "Don't you dare. Otherwise you can find another shopping buddy."

"Aish, way to ruin the mood Soo Yeong ah~..." He blows warm air over my bangs. "And put the ears back on it looks cute."

"Ani!" I yell and release my hold on him. "And I only have an hour so let's get going." I pout and turn away from him.

"An hour?" He questions, and comes up beside me. "Wait. Don't tell me you're apart of that event they're having a floor down? A lot of people are talking about it."

"So what if I am..." I mumble, and he grips onto my arm and he looks at me questioningly. "Look, I like children and this was the perfect pass time. What am I going to do alone at home?" I make an excuse and he seems to buy it.

"That makes a lot of sense, I guess." He declares then he suddenly takes off his jacket. "And before we go, put this around your waist. Your skirt's pretty short."

"Eh?" I look at him in confusion. "It's not tha-"

"Take it." He suddenly pushes his jacket in front of me. "I don't want people staring at you."

"No, I don't want it." I pout, pushing it away. "People will think..."

"People will think what?" A playful smile takes over his lips. "You soiled yourse-"

"Yah!" I yell embarrassedly. "My excretory functions are working just fine!"

My words seem to have caught the attention of all of the passerby's instantly making my face flush even redder than before. I quickly look away in embarrassment and face the railing.

Taehyung is such a dork. He did that on purpose.

He only chuckles, and comes to stand beside me. "You really shouldn't have said that out so loud."

"I figured." I mumble, and rub my burning cheeks. "But I still don't want it."

"I was joking. I meant you don't want people thinking you're on your menses, right?"

My eyes widens at his words and my cheeks burns like an inferno. Looks like someone was paying attention in Biology class but as I stand frozen Taehyung quickly takes the chance to wrap the jacket around my waist and just like before he knots it at the front so it's sitting snuggly at my waist.

"If you really don't want people thinking that as we walk, then randomly stretch your legs far apart and strike a weird pose." He suggests, whilst demonstrating the technique he just uttered.

I only stare at him in despair and his loafers almost slips off his feet.

"Aish, I'm not even on my period and what kind of crack are you on you're so weird. I don't know why Jimin asked me to come here." I mumble, and grip onto his arm, pulling him out of his weird pose. "And it looks like you're doing much better than yesterday?"

He straightens up and we finally get going, "Deh. My gran made some more of that chai then after that I slept like I was dead and woke up like an hour ago. I feel good as new." He sends me a boxy smile and I feel a wave of relief wash over me.

"I'm glad." I admit, returning his smile. "Anyways, what's the special occasion? Is it your grans birthday?"

"Deh, in just a short couple of days." He says, with a look of contentment. "But I don't know what to get her that's why I had asked Jimin to tag along..."

"Why wasn't Jungoo your first option? Is it because your gran will end up getting a pair of Timberlands and a bandana?" I tease, as I recall Jungkook's love for those two items.

"You're really weird Soo Yeong ah~..." He comments with a soft chuckle, and a pat to my head.

After his words, he directs me into a certain expensive looking shop and instantly my jaw drops.

"Why are we entering Gucci? I'd have to sell a kidney to buy something from here." I state in surprise but despite that I stare at everything in awe.

"Aish... It's not that bad. Sometimes you get pretty good deals here." He says rather convincingly and I just follow him through the store like a lost puppy.

We check out a lot of different products but some are way out of his budget or he doesn't really see his granny using those specific items so he sulks in defeat as he sits over a luxurious mink coloured couch.

"Aish... Don't give up so soon Tae ah~... I have an idea." I tug on his arm, making him look up at me with a soft pout. "How about we get her a perfume set? Everyone likes perfume." I suggest, and instantly a smile crosses his features.

He gets up from the couch and he grasps my hand in his. We march along towards the perfume isle and once there we pick out various types of perfumes. For a short while, we take a wiff of each one, hoping to find the perfect one and eventually we do.

It's called Gucci Bloom and it has this floral type of fragrance- like jasmine and honeysuckle mixed together with other floral ingredients that I don't know but what I do know is that it gives off the sensation of modern and vintage almost fused into one. I personally feel that it's perfect since she's elderly and we are living in a modern world.

As Taehyung pays for the gift and gets it boxed up into a nice presentable gift wrap I take the opportunity to peer around at the different jewelry which they have on display.

My eyes brushes over the various diamonds, emeralds, sapphires and the works beaded into different sorts of animal themed pins. In all honesty they're really beautiful but a certain pin catches my attention.

A face of a tiger.

And immediately my thoughts run back to when Taehyung had yawned in class. At that moment, he reminded me of a little tired tiger cub. It was adorable.

I sulk because I really want this pin now but in order to obtain it I'll not only have to sell a kidney but a lung as well since the price tag is that fat.

"What are you looking at?"

Taehyung's deep voice suddenly fans at my ear and obviously I get startled.

"Taeeee~ for heaven's sake you need to stop startling me like that!" I squeal, and quickly get up but an airy laugh escapes his lips. "So you're all set?" I ask, looking down at the gift bag in his hand.

"Deh," He gives me a boxy smile, and a pat on the shoulder. "We're all set. Thank you."

I feel my heart flutter at his words, "It's fine but just don't tell Jimin and Jungkook about my outfit... Promise?" I put out my pinky finger, inching it towards him.

"You're really going all Children's Day on me Soo Yeong ah~." He chuckles at my gesture. "But I can't promise you anything."

My breath hitches, "Yah, you're always to taunting." I playfully pinch his side and he wiggles from the contact.

"Say Pikachu." Taehyung whines for the millionth time as he brings his face closer towards mine.

"Ani." I mumble, after placing the soft drink, that Taehyung had purchased for me, over the railing to balance.

"Come on say it. Say it in that cute voice too." He pokes my cheek, and I flush.

"Ani." I whine, pushing his face away, and my Pikachu head band that's on his head slightly shifts.

"Come on just once." He whines, and places the head band back onto my head.

"If I was actually Pikachu I wouldn't hesitate to thunderbolt you." I stick my tongue out at him.

"Do you really want me to blast off-"

"Yah. Soo ya~."

Taehyung's words are interjected by a familiar voice but the pet name is an instant give away.

I glance over at Taehyung, with surprise written all over my features, before we both turn around to find Minho just a couple of steps away from us.

What in the world is he doing here?

"I guess today is my lucky day. It really is you." He seethes with a smirk. "And you look good but the only thing that's obstructing my view of those perfect thighs of yours is that ugly jacket."

I feel disgusted at his words but internally I thank Taehyung for his jacket.

Taehyung clenches his jaw beside me, "What do you want Minho?"

"I don't want to ruin your perfect date." He spits, bitterly and a little cackle leaves his lips. "I was saving this for tomorrow but I really can't wait now that you're right in front of me. I found out some interesting things about you two."

I tense up at his words.

Does he know that we're aren't a real couple?

"I asked around, and found that you two suddenly became a couple when I transferred." Minho's lips curves into a devilish smirk, and he perk's up his right eyebrow. "You want to explain that?"

"Have you ever heard of keeping a relationship under the wraps?" Taehyung bites back, and the expression on his face reflects annoyance. "We're merely revealed our relationship because you can't take a hint."

I only stand beside Taehyung with my hands nervously over my chest. I really don't know what to do but on the other hand Taehyung seems to be handling Minho's quest to our untold truth quite well.

"Tch, don't lie to me." His voice is dangerously low and he takes a step forward. "If you two are really that in love then why is it that I've never seen you two kiss despite always being so close to each other? Something's fishy and it wreaks."

I gasp at his words and my insides tingle with an unfamiliar sensation. We're so close to being busted. My gaze shifts over to Taehyung but his expression hasn't changed all that much rather he's just staring at Minho with a sly smirk.

"We prefer to keep a low profile." Taehyung admits, but suddenly he grabs onto my hand and pulls me close to him. My hands grips onto his shirt and I feel my heart pang against my chest as I stare up at him in confusion. "But if you really don't believe me then..."

Those words of his causes my shallow breathes to become so much more heavier and my eyes nervously scans his face that's nearing closer to my own.

"I'm sorry Soo Yeong ah~..." He whispers, then he completely closes the gap between us both.

And his lips suddenly meets mine.

My grip on his shirt slightly loosens and time itself feels as if it's suddenly come to a halt. The click clack of people's shoes and their chitter chatter all suddenly disappears. The only thing I can hear is my pounding heart, beating wildly in its chest.

Taehyung is kissing me.

Taehyung is actually kissing me.

I'm lost, appalled, frozen, surprised, shocked, delighted, pleased, astonished but most all full of bliss.

His kiss was so sudden but as if involuntarily, my lips lock with his, and like synchrony they glide across his soft lips so gently yet so passionately.

I feel his hands slip around my waist and he pulls me closer, only deepening the kiss. As if instinctively, my arms slowly make their way up to his shoulders and around his neck and our lips stay connected for what feels like an eternity.

Eventually, we detach for a breath of air and just like that, my first kiss was gone.

- stolen by Taehyung.

A/n: I'm not sure when is Taehyung's grandmother's birthday. I tried searching online but found nothing and through my research I may have made myself sad because I remembered my grandad. I miss him. But! On a positive note, Taehyung just ended all Minho's delululu's.

Just by the way, Soo Yeong's Pikachu outfit was inspired by the picture below.
