Y/n POV

" Yeah....that's good.... you are already doing great Taehyung....well done!!" I said giving him a thumbs up...
He smiled lightly as his all focus was on his work in hand...
Currently, we are in his kitchen that is fully equipped with modern appliances...his kitchen is well furnished and neat and clean...i am sure Miss Min pays  a lot of hard work in maintaining the kitchen....I am trying to teach him how to cook Korean Pan fried Fish( Saeng Sun Jun)....I thought to start with something easy so that he won't loose his interest at the very first time he tries to cook....so currently he was coating the small pieces of fish in flour and afterwards in beaten egg....
But it was rather not easy as it seems to be....cuz Taehyung sucks in cooking more than I had expected him to be....when I told him to beat the eggs with the help of a beater, he followed my instruction but as soon as he switched on the beater, all the egg white got splashed on him.... messing his apron and some part of his face as well....later on when I told him to bring the flour from the nearby drawer,....he gave me a jar and when I poured it on the plate to use...it's colour and texture made me suspicious and when I tasted it to check....it came out to be not flour but instead white powdered sugar...btw his facial expressions were a whole meal.... which he gave me whenever he made a mistake...but I tried to suppress my laugh everytime he did something like that and thank god I made through it every time... otherwise he would have felt discouraged...

" Y/n...it's done...see...what should I do now??!" He said jumping on his feet In excitement like a kid.
I chuckled and said" ok...so now the main part of the recipe....you have to place all these coated fishes on the pan and wait for sometime to let it get a little crispy from one side and then turn it over for the same...got it??" I asked lastly.
"Yes...I got it" he said and again got focused on his work.
He was doing each and every work with so much concentration...biting his tongue in between of his teeth and paying full concern on the fishes...I felt glad that he placed the fishes successfully on the pan.....I smiled to myself.
" Hey shall we also prepare a salad...it will go nice with fishes.... Don't you think so??" He asked.
" Yeah it's a great idea....we can do that..." I said cheerfully.
With that he went to the fridge and brought many vegetables and washed them. Afterwards he placed them on a chopper and took a knife to start the surgery....but alas!!...he missed at the very first attempt as the carrot on which he was going do the surgery slipped out of his hands and fell on the floor...
I chuckled to myself but immediately stopped when he turned to look at me....he tried a few more times but every time failed and I kept him watching standing near the kitchen counter.... finally he turned to look at me and I got the sign through the look of his eyes that he wanted help....
" It's ok Taehyung...it happens...c'mere I will show you how it's done..." I said and consoled him like a mother and held his hand in my hand and  directed him to show how it's actually done...
I was so engrossed in teaching him that I didn't even noticed that we were DANGEROUSLY close and our faces were almost rubbing against each other...when I was finally done showing him how to cut the veggies...I turned to look at him with a smile on my face but got flustered on seeing him already piercing his gaze into me with a sweet smile on his face....I felt butterflies in my stomach on seeing his fondly gaze on me and I gulped....what he was doing to me....will anybody please tell me??

Taehyung POV

She held my hand and pulled me closer to her in order to show how to cut the veggies....I tried to focus on what she was teaching me but I kept getting distracted with the closeness of our face...I couldn't help but stare deeply at her...not knowing my inner feelings...just I wanted to keep on looking at her....let her hold me forever like this... suddenly she turned her face with a gracious smile plastered on her lips....but her expression changed and her lips got slightly parted in surprise and her cheeks flushed with red tint...I guess she was not aware of our close proximity. I was able to hear both of ours heart beats and it felt like they were beating in sync with each other.
She slightly turned her eyelashes down in order to avoid my gaze and looked shy.
I felt my heart skipping millions of beats and I felt myself in the clouds...why was I feeling like this??....but I really liked this feeling...it made me feel overjoyed and timid with ecstasy.

Suddenly my phone ringed which was placed on the countertop and I quickly pulled away from her rubbing my nape with a feeling of shyness and embarassment in me.
She looked at me with her doe eyes with a glint of shyness mixed with tender look in them.
I slightly bowed down in apology and went to pick up my phone.

Y/n POV

I feel totally flabbergasted right now...what was that??...I never had experienced this genre of feeling ever before....it makes my insides feel jolly and dizzy with affection.
I didn't wanted to pull away from him...I wanted to be like that forever if possible and keep on looking in his deeply filled eyes....my hands were trembling with our so close proximity and for a moment I felt as if I was going to submerge deep inside him by just looking at him....his gaze....his gaze was so ecstasy filled that I felt myself getting drowned in them....his eyes were speaking a lot about his emotions but I felt muddled of his emotions as I was not able to read through them....I wish if sometime I could...

Still feeling hassled and overwhelmed with sudden emotions, I plated our dinner which was prepared with so much hardwork by him and by the time I finished cutting the salads....he came back with a smile of apology on his face....if I was not wrong...then I noticed that he was still blushing.
I too blushed as the thought of that moment came in my mind...
But I decided to play it cool...
" Umm... Taehyung our dinner is ready...let's go and dig in" I said without stammering....thank goodness.
"Oh...sure" he said.

Time skip

"Well, Mr Kim Taehyung....you have very easily passed the first stage of your cooking education. Congratulations..." I said shaking our hands.
" Thank you so much Miss....it wouldn't have been possible without you...." He said smiling back at me.
We are sitting in the backyard of his house which is totally illuminated with moonlight scattering itself through the dazzling night sky.
We are sitting on a bench next to each other and enjoying star-gazing together...well I had came out alone in his backyard to have some fresh air cuz I was not feeling so good because I hadn't talk with my mother yet and grief  was eating me from inside....but soon he joined too and sat silently next to me.
I sighed softly and relaxed in my seat looking up in the illuminating dark night sky with billions of stars looking back at me....

"You know Taehyung.... star-gazing is one of my favourite pass times....it makes me happy from inside and out....and makes me feel calm as well...I and my father always used to do this together when I was small and we used to make imaginary figures in the sky by joining random stars....no matter how tired he used to be after coming back from his work...it was fixed that we had to do star-gazing and he used to tell me that doing this with me made him always feel that his all tiredness and laziness got vanished.... while looking up in this star filled night sky makes me feel that among these shining stars... somewhere my dad is shining too and is looking upon me from there....and we are doing star-gazing together...just like those good old days..." I said feeling the lump in my throat as my eyes became teary with hot tears...the sweet memories that I spent with my father came crashing down on me...
Suddenly I felt a warm hand patting my back gently...trying to soothe me.
"Please... don't cry...I am sure he will feel sad too if he will see you crying in this way and especially if it is because of him....so don't make him feel sad.... don't let your beautiful memories with your father sadden your mood but instead let them enlighten your mood and feel as if he is seeing the same stars as you in the same manner he used to when he was there with you....it will make him feel happy too...you know I also like star-gazing a lot..just like you...I also used to gaze at the starry night sky with my father and we used to discuss many things related to my school life and his work life...but after my parents left me...I was left alone and I didn't knew with whom I should share my bottled up feelings with and so I decided to continue the tradition that I had created along with my father and every night I look up at the night sky and dazzling stars and pour out all my feelings to them... knowing that they are hearing to me....and will convey my message to my beloved parents for sure...it makes me feel calm too...and feel refreshed..."
" Hehe...I am glad you like it too...we have something in common" I said trying to lighten the clouded mood of both of us....but a sudden question slipped from my mouth and it made him a bit uncomfortable...
" Umm... don't you had friends??" I quickly regretted on seeing his change in demeanor.
"No..." He said with no expression on his face...
I felt a bit curious and then again one more question slipped out of my mouth...
"Why??..." I asked without thinking much.
He looked at me and then back at the night sky with an unreadable expression on his face...I quickly changed the topic....
"Umm...it's ok if you don't want to talk about it...I understand...there must be some reason behind it....please don't mind my question...." I said quickly.
I think he doesn't want to talk about it....I can read through his expression itself...he must would have some kind of bad memory related with it....after all there's always a reason behind someone's silence...
"Noo...it's ok...I didn't minded your question....it's just that I don't want to talk about it now....but I guess I will tell you sometime in future...but just know this....that you are my first friend that I have made after almost 14 years after breaking my friendship with my past childhood friends...." He said in a very soft demeanor....I was amazed to know about the fact and instantly I guessed that there's something very gruesome memory that is related to his parents and friends which I don't dare to ask at all...
"It's ok... Taehyung...I understand" I said putting my hand on his left shoulder and afterwards my head on top of it....his demeanor had changed a bit after I raised that question and now I was truly feeling regretful for that...but I relaxed when I felt him holding me with his left arm around my back....
A silence was enveloping both of us....but it was comfortable silence....we were enjoying each other's presence....I felt happy and relaxed knowing that I had never felt this kind of relaxation for a very long time....
But then Taehyung decided to break the silence between us and spoke still holding me near to him...
"Hey...have you gone on sight seeing and different tourist places of Seoul yet??" He asked of nowhere.
"Nah...!!.." I said in a sad tone showing a thumbs down to him.
He chuckled at me...
"Well...it's decided then... tomorrow we are going on a tour of our beautiful Seoul...and your ultimate guide will be Mr. Kim Taehyung himself....what say?!!" He said enthusiastically and widening his eyes at me.
I laughed at his cuteness...
" Okay!!... whatever you say my highness!" I said bowing down dramatically to which he just laughed hysterically.
"But before that...I would like to go on a tour of your house first...I always feel myself getting lost in this giant villa...you know" I said sulking slightly.
"Oh...if thats the case then your problem will be considered....ummm....let me think...when can I give you a tour of that....yeah!!...I got it....what about in the morning....after we have our breakfast..." He said again jumping on his seat....I swear he has a habit of jumping a lot....
"Ok...it's good" I said simply.
I slightly yawned while my head was resting on his shoulder and he noticed it too....
" I think you are feeling sleepy,...let's get you to sleep...hmm??" He said softly to me.
I just nodded and stood up to walk to my bedroom but soon to my empty mindedness I hit my knee with the sharp corner of the bench and hissed in pain... holding my knee.
"Ouch!!!....what's that??" I said annoyingly.
"Oh...shit!...are you ok...let me see...oh god...I shouldn't have let you walk alone in your half sleep..tch!!" He said running to me and crouching down to my knee to check it.
"Come on....its not that painful...don't worry" I said little too proudly but still scrunching my face with pain in there.
"Yeah...yeah I see" he said a bit musingly....to which I just pursed my lips.
But what he did next made my heart jump out of my chest....he lifted me in his arms in bridal style and I squealed in surprise.
I looked at him in pure amazement but he was not facing me but he had a heart rousing grin plastered on his lips...I wondered why was he grinning like that???
I felt myself again staring at him deeply with  feverish and rosy cheeks...

Taehyung POV

I lifted her up in bridal style to which she squealed in surprise and looked at me with bewilderment written all over her face...I was seeing her through the corner of eyes and my heart started beating like a crazy when I saw her flushed rosy cheeks and her bashful eyes looking at me in pure astonishment....I was feeling something in my gut on seeing her in my arms....it felt as if numerous butterflies were fluttering in my stomach and made me felt getting infatuated under her spell....this ever new feeling was driving me crazy....

We reached her bedroom and I made her lay on the bed and covered her with duvet....she was still looking at me with amorous glance in her eyes....she looked so dainty and awe-inspiring at the same time making my heart flutter.....I wanted to hold her and sleep along with her by my side...but I knew I couldn't do so...but I took some risk and kissed gently on top of her forehead to which she silently closed her eyes memorising the Physical touch...I ruffled her hair softly and patted her back gently so as to put her in sleep just like a small baby....she slowly closed her eyes and drifted to her dreamland forgetting about everything around her....I sat there enchanted by her saintly beauty...but soon my eyes too felt heavy with sleep and I decided to make my way to my room giving a last longing look to her sleeping figure.

A very romantic journey is yet to start....stay tuned....and forgive me if it was so cringy...do let me know if it was....
Bye💜💜❤️❤️
