Ch-23

As like every day, Taehyung wandered in the woods, his eyes searching for a certain someone when he heard a mesmerizing soft voice. He listened attentively to the voice, walking towards it. He found Aurora, the one he was finding, sitting on a stone, singing, small and cute animals surrounding her, she had a flower in her hands and her magical butterflies were flying around her. It was like a fairytale scene. Aurora was too lost in her singing to notice him. Taehyung hides behind the shadows and watches her secretly, his eyes filled with love. He felt like he was falling more deeply in love with her.

As Aurora's song ended, she smiled at the small animals and then her eyes went on him and she widened her eyes. He found her looking at him, so he came out of the shadows of trees. She stood up and the animals then ran away. Taehyung ruffled his hair, biting his lips, feeling shy after getting caught. She found his expression amusing and started laughing softly at him. He looked at her laughing and he too laughed along. "What are you doing here, your highness?" She asked softly and he started walking towards her, keeping his finger on her lips.

"From now on, call me Taehyung not your highness" he said, and she could see love and affection in his eyes. She looked down and was about to bow when he stopped her. "I guess I should be the one doing that" he said softly, getting on one knee. She widened her eyes. "What are you doing, Taehyung?" She asked, panicking. He took her hand on his and softly kissed her knuckles. She was surprised. He smiled at her, "just a little appreciation for the song you just sang, my princess" Her heart skipped a beat as he called her 'my princess'.

He stepped a little closer, and then pressed his lips on her forehead. She closed her eyes, feeling his lips touch her skin. He smiled at her, his hands gripping on her shoulder. Aurora felt a jolt of electricity at his actions, her heart racing in her chest as he continued to gaze at her. She wanted to look away, feeling a flush spread across her cheeks, but his eyes held her captive.

Taehyung, observing her reaction, chuckled softly. "You're blushing," he said, his thumb grazing her flushed cheek. Aurora's heart pounded against her chest; her breath caught in her throat. She could feel the heat in her cheeks, but she couldn't look away from him. His touch sent sparks dancing through her body, making her want to lean into him. "You're so beautiful when you blush like this," he whispered, captivated by the rosy hue coloring her cheeks.

Aurora's breath caught in her chest, her heart fluttering under his gaze. She felt like a moth drawn to a flame, unable to resist the magnetic pull between them. With his hand on her chin, he drew her closer, their bodies now only inches apart. His thumb traced the line of her jaw, his touch sending ripples of pleasure through her. "I could look at you like this for eternity," he murmured, his voice low and intimate.

The closeness between them was intoxicating, and Aurora found herself drawn into his gaze. She could feel his breath on her skin, the warmth of his body so close to hers. As he continued to touch her face, tracing her features with his fingers, she felt as if sparks were dancing across her skin, lighting her nerve endings on fire.

Taehyung couldn't tear his eyes away from her, lost in the beauty of her blushing face and the flutter of her eyelashes. With a gentle touch, he ran his fingers through her hair, the silken strands like satin under his touch. With a gentle expression, he continued to stroke her black hair, the soft strands feeling like silk between his fingers. He couldn't help but let out a soft chuckle, his eyes fixated on her blushing face.

"You have no idea what you do to me," he murmured, his voice filled with tenderness.

She felt her heart skip a beat, the sound of his laughter sending a shiver down her spine. She wanted to look away, but his gaze held her captive, his touch making her feel like she was floating on air. He continued to rake his fingers through her hair, enjoying the feel of the silky strands between his fingers. He could feel her shiver under his touch, her body betraying her desire for him.

"Your hair is so soft," he whispered, his voice filled with reverence. He leaned in close, his lips hovering above her ear. "I could play with it all night."

His breath was hot on her skin, sending a shiver through her entire body. She leaned into his touch, her eyes fluttering closed. He stopped and softly pressed his lips on the top of her head. "Open your eyes" He whispered softly. Her eyes fluttered open, her breath catching in her throat as she felt his lips against her head. His voice, low and soft, was like a gentle command.

"Look at me," he whispered.

She obeyed, lifting her gaze to meet his eyes. He was so close now, his face just inches away from hers. His eyes were dark and intense, filled with a mix of desire and tenderness. He smiled down at her, his heart swelling as he saw the wide-eyed expression on her face. He couldn't help but feel a wave of affection wash over him as she looked at him.

He leaned closer. Her breath hitched. He cupped her face with his one hand and looked at her. "Can i...?" He trailed off, his eyes flicking from hers down to her lips and back again. The question hung in the air, the tension between them almost palpable. She was nervous. "I won't do anything without your permission" He whispered.

Her heart skipped a beat as he whispered those words to her. She could feel the heat radiating from his body, his hand still cupping her face. She couldn't tear her eyes away from his, the intensity in his gaze making her breathlessly.

Finally, she managed to find her voice, her words coming out in a shaky whisper. "You have my permission."

Her permission was almost a shock to him, and he had to take a moment to collect himself. He could hardly believe that she had agreed, the reality of the situation sinking in.

He moved even closer to her, his body pressed against hers, the heat between them almost unbearable. He let his hand slide down her face, his fingers trailing along her jawline before coming to rest at the nape of her neck.

"You don't know what you're doing to me," he whispered, his voice rough with desire. His eyes fixed on her pink lips. He smiled softly and pressed his lips against hers. Her response was gentle and tentative at first, her lips responding to his with a soft, almost hesitant touch. Despite her initial shyness, she couldn't help but melt into the kiss as he pulled her closer.

His hand on her waist held her tightly, his fingers gripping her firmly as he deepened the kiss. He could feel the heat of her body against his, and it only fueled the desire that was coursing through him. He ran his tongue along her bottom lip, silently coaxing her to open her mouth wider. She opened her mouth a little wider as he wanted.

He took the opportunity to slide his tongue into her mouth, exploring the sweet, warm space. He couldn't get enough of her, her taste and scent intoxicating him. His hand on her waist tightened, pulling her even closer as he deepened the kiss.

He felt her body press against his, her soft curves molding against him. He couldn't help but groan softly, the sensation of her body against his making his heart race. The kiss was intoxicating, a tangle of lips and tongue that left them both breathless. With every passing moment, they seemed to draw closer, their bodies pressed tightly together.

Taehyung couldn't get enough of the feel of her in his arms. Her hands wrapped around his neck, her body fitting perfectly against his. He ran his tongue over her neck, his mouth leaving a trail of hot kisses along her sensitive skin. Her soft moan made his head spin, the sound sending a thrill through him. He could feel his body reacting to her, the heat between them building with every touch.

He continued to kiss her neck, his mouth trailing along her jawline and down to her collarbone. His hand on her waist slid up her back, his fingers tracing the contour of her spine. They were surrounded by the silence of the woods, the only sounds breaking the serene peace were their ragged breaths and soft moans. They were lost in their own world, completely consumed by the intensity of the moment.

Taehyung's hands roamed her body, exploring every curve and contour. His mouth left a trail of hot kisses down her neck and collarbone, his fingers tracing her skin with a gentle but possessiveness. But she stopped him. "We can't do this" She whispered softly, "not here" Her soft voice brought him back to reality, her words breaking through the haze of desire that had consumed him. He looked at her, a mixture of surprise and disappointment on his face.

"Why not?" He whispered back, his voice hoarse with unfulfilled desire. "I don't want anyone seeing us like this here, there are many people who roam around this forest. I don't want anyone finding you here" She whispered softly, and he kept his finger on her lips. "Shh.. I don't care if anyone see me here, with you like this" He whispered, his fingers playing with her bangs. "All i know is that you are here with me, and i don't care about the world anymore. I only want you" His voice husky.

Her heart skipped a beat as he touched her lips, her breath catching in her throat. His words sent a shiver down her spine, the possessive tone of his voice making her weak in the knees.

She knew that she should stop him, that they shouldn't be doing this here. But the fire that was burning between them was too strong, and she found herself unable to resist him.

"Taehyung," she whispered, her voice barely audible. "What are you doing to me?" "What do you think?" He had a playful smirk. Her heart skipped a beat as she saw the playful smirk on his face, her eyes widening as she caught sight of the glint in his eyes. She knew that her resistance was crumbling, and she was powerless against his charm.

She tried to keep her voice steady, but the effect he was having on her was undeniable. "You're infuriating," she muttered, her voice low and breathless. "Do you realize what you're doing to me?"

His hand played with her hair, the feeling of his fingers against her scalp sending shivers through her. She was mesmerized by the look in his eyes, the mix of love and desire making her heart flutter.

"I think.... are you falling for me?" His words brought her back to reality, the question hanging in the air between them. She tried to protest, to deny the truth that she herself was only just beginning to realize.

"No," she whispered, but the word felt unconvincing even to her own ears. He stopped playing and looked at her. "If you are saying this because of people and the society, then stop thinking about all that. Say what your heart wants not what people." He pulled her closer. "I can't deny that I feel so much more for you"

His words made her heart ache, the honesty in his voice hitting her like a ton of bricks. She wanted to deny it, to keep up the pretense that she wasn't falling for him. But as she looked into his eyes, she couldn't lie to herself anymore.

"It's not that simple," she whispered, her voice wavering. "There's so much more at stake here..." He cupped her face, "hey.. look at me" whispers softly. She looked up at him, her eyes meeting his gaze. His touch on her face was gentle, his hand cradling her cheek tenderly.

"I don't care about what other people think," he murmured, his voice low and intense. "All I care about is you, and what you feel." He adds, "So be honest with me.. I will be more than happy if you tell me what your true feelings are.."

She took a deep breath, the weight of his words and the intensity of his gaze making her heart feel like it was in her throat.

"I... I don't know how to describe it," she admitted, her voice shaking slightly. "When I'm with you, it's like everything else fades away. All I can think about is you and the way you make me feel."

He smiled softly and joined their foreheads, his both hands cupping her face, her hands holding his hands. "I think... I am in love with you" He whispered softly, looking at her. Her heart skipped a beat as he spoke, his words sounding like music to her ears. She could hardly believe that he was saying those three little words.

She felt a warmth spread through her body, her hands holding his even tighter as she stared at him in wonder. "You... you love me?" She whispered, her voice cracking slightly.

He looked at her, his expression intense. "I can't deny it anymore. I don't care what people think. I don't care about your level or class. All i know is that..... I love you. And i will always love you"

Her heart swelled with emotion, her eyes welling up with tears at his declaration. She had never expected him to say those words, to feel so strongly for her despite their differences.

She gazed at him, her fingers tracing the lines of his face, as if trying to commit every feature to memory.

"I love you too," she whispered, her voice filled with a mixture of awe and disbelief. He leaned closer and shared a soft kiss with her. The kiss was tender and gentle, a soft press of lips that spoke of the love and care they felt for each other. His hands were still cupping her face, his touch gentle and reverent.

She melted into the kiss, her arms wrapping around his neck as she leaned into him. She could feel the heat of his body against hers, the press of his chest against her own filling her with a sense of safety and belonging.
