I fold up my clothes neatly and extremely slow as I place them into my open suitcase. Taehyung sits beside me on the floor as he does the same with his own belongings. The house is eerily quiet as Uncle Kim hasn't made it back home just yet and we're not even sure what to really say to each other.

"I hate this." I whisper as I place another folded shirt down.

"Just say the word." He says again.

"Taehyung..."

"I know, I know...I can still hope." He reaches over and pulls me over to him, laying my head down on his lap as I gaze up at him.

He pauses for a moment and pulls out his phone. With it hovering over my face, I hear the shutter sound go off.

"I needed one of just your eyes." He softly smiles at me.

"So..." he sighs out trying to still his nerves, "since you're keeping my T-shirt, can I have something of yours?"

I nod.

"Of course. Anything. I mean, you already took my heart and my virginity but go ahead and take more from me." I tease with a bright smile.

He smiles back shaking his head at me and reaches into my suitcase. He pulls out the blue dress I had on when he said he loved me for the first time. He sets it down next to him and also grabs my perfume.

"They say smell is the best way to remember people or things." He smiles as he safely tucks both away in his bag.

"You have two things though. I only have one." I pout.

"Fine! If you insist." Taehyung moves to stand up making me sit up from his lap. He stretches a bit and cracks his back and then goes to lay down in my suitcase.

Seeing him trying to squish his tall frame in the small rectangular area makes me bust out into a fit of laughter. I know what he's doing. He's trying his best to keep the mood light on our official last full day together. And I certainly appreciate him for it. I just hope he's okay while he's trying to keep a smile on my face.

"Okay. Zip me up!" He laughs as I walk over to him.

I grab his hand and pull him out of the suitcase. He stands up with a wide boxy grin, towering over me while I grab the black satin tie out of his suitcase. I smile up at him bashfully before placing it in my suitcase.

As he looks down at me, his expression slowly starting to sadden but at the same time, filled with desire as his breathing quickens. He seems...nervous. The same demeanor he had the first time he kissed me was happening all over again and it's making me just as nervous as he is.

"Taehyung?" I say just above a whisper as his lips line up with my own.

"Just kiss me please." He begs with a whisper and a slight crack in his voice.

I lift my chin to slowly touch my lips to his and I begin to tremble. He kisses me soft and gentle without any hint of tongue as I feel his lip quiver on mine. He's trying so hard to fight back his emotion until I taste a salty tear that has ran down his cheek.

Or was that mine?

He cups my face in his hands as he pushes his lips more firmly into mine with his eyebrow furrowed.

There was nothing sexual about this kiss. This was pure desire to try to mend a broken heart before it's even fully shattered. This was us holding on to what we have. This was desperation and agony. This was us silently begging for mercy.

This was us trying to survive.

He pulls back with his eyes tightly shut and his eyebrow remaining deeply furrowed as if he was physically hurt; running his tongue over his bottom lip like he was trying to savor my kiss to his memory.

I reach up, placing the palm of my hand on his cheek. He instantly turns into my touch, still refusing to open his eyes.

"Look at me baby." My voice shaking.

He takes a moment to do so but when his gaze meets mine, he breaks apart. Unable to hold it in any longer, he drops down to the ground and covers his face. I kneel before him and hold him to my chest. The extremity of his heartache rocking us both as he continues to sob.

I don't know what to do. I can't fix this. I can't make this better nor can I stop any of it but I can't be weak when he needs me to be strong. I can't let him sink when he needs me to help him stay afloat.

"Taehyung. Baby." I hold him to me as his arms wrap around me and his hands grab my shirt as tight they can, afraid to let go.

"Do you love me?" I ask already knowing the answer.

He looks up at me with confusion and his face tear-stained. "You know I do."

"Do you trust me?"

"Yes." He takes a deep, stuttering breath.

"Then trust me that I'll be in your future. I can't see me without you." I give him the only words I could think of that offered me any kind of solace when I needed it from him before.

"I trust you." He says quietly as his breathing begins to settle.

I run my fingers through his soft dark hair and gently kiss his forehead, his temple, his cheeks, his nose, and finally his lips. Slowly calming his spirit with my touch.

"Taehyungie? Ava? I'm home." Uncle Kim calls out from the foyer. Our eyes staying locked on each other.

"Hi Uncle Kim!" I call out to let him know we're in the bedroom.

"Let's go somewhere. Just the two of us. I think we need some fresh air." He says standing up and wrapping his arm around me to kiss my forehead.

After promising Uncle Kim we wouldn't be gone too long and that we'll finish packing, we head out to the only place we know we'll be totally alone with one another. To the place that will bring us some peace.

We pull up and I pop the trunk of my little red Beetle and grab the two blankets I keep in my car. Once we approach the sand, we both take off our shoes and find a spot in the middle of the beach where we flatten out one of the blankets to sit on.

I rest my head on Taehyung's shoulder as we overlook the moonlight dancing on the water. The waves running up and back down the shoreline and the gusts of wind being the only sounds around us.

"It's kind of poetic, you know. This was technically our first date and now it's our last. At least for a while." Taehyung calmly says as he strokes my arm. "That night, this place, will always be precious to me. You're precious to me."

"You're precious to me too." I lift my chin and kiss his lips.

"How am I going to sleep tomorrow night without you?" He asks.

"I ask myself the same thing." I whisper as I reposition myself to straddle his lap.

"You look beautiful in the moonlight." He combs the strands of hair away from my face as I smile down at him.

I lean down and kiss him. Completely being enchanted by his soft pliant lips while his hands grip my waist and pull me closer to his body.

As I lift my head, I look into his eyes and admire how they twinkle brighter than the stars as he stares back at me. "Make love to me, Taehyung. Right here. On this beach."

"Are you sure? This place is special to you. I don't want to ruin it." He strokes my back lovingly.

"I'm sure. You're the only other person who has even shared this place with me. Even if..." my voice trails off as I try to collect my emotions, "even if I lose you, there's no one else I would rather have those memories here with me."

"You will never lose me, Ava." He says with certainty as his lips find mine again and his hands travel underneath my shirt to the clasp of my bra.

He lifts my shirt over my head, removing my bra with it as he takes a beat to stare at me offering myself to him under only the cover of night.

"My heart is beating so fast." He gently smiles with a soft chuckle.

I smile back at him and lift his shirt over his head. Leaning my body forward to push his back onto the blanket as I kiss along his beautiful jawline, his hands run over my ass with his fingertips grazing the back of my thighs.

I push myself up to stand over him, keeping my eyes locked on his as I lower my denim shorts and panties. His chest heaving as he watches me slowly undress myself.

His hands reach up shakily run over my thighs as I lower myself back on to him. He sits up, crashing his lips with mine as if he had no other choice. He flips us over so that he's on top of me, his tongue and lips caressing my sensitive flesh below my ear.

"I want to be everything to you tonight. Whatever you need. I want this to be memorable." He says looking back up at me.

My hand cups his face as the pad of my thumb rubs over his full lips. "You are everything to me. Every moment with you is memorable. Just cherish me tonight. Make it last as long as possible."

He nods with a smile and kisses me with a gentle passion as his hand caress my body. The cool midnight air mixed with his large warm hand intensifying my senses.

He slowly makes his way down my body as he takes time to kiss every possible inch. With his arms scooping up my legs on to his shoulders, he sits up to kiss the inside of my knee and down the inside of my thigh. Switching to do the same to the other leg before looking back at me with hooded and hungry, yet loving eyes.

He dips down keeping his eyes trained on me as his tongue slowly circles my swollen bud. I shut my eyes and he lifts up, the loss of contact making me quickly look back to him.

"Look at me. I want you to dream about this when I'm not around." He quietly commands as he lowers himself back down.

I watch him as he proceeds to taste me. His head moving side to side as he sends radiating heat down to my core. Reaching under, he grabs two handfuls of my round ass pulling me closer to him as he continues to further lure me to my peak.

I moan out loud as I feel the first signs of my orgasm and he raises up. With my juices covering his lips and sparkling in the midnight glow he smiles and slowly shushes me before he eagerly covers my mound again.

I keep my eyes fixated on him as he feasts on me with such conviction that I don't know how I'm going to stifle my screams. I quickly reach over and grab the first thing I reach, my lace panties, and stuff them in my mouth as I come apart at his will.  My legs tightening uncontrollably as I do everything in my power to hold back the sounds I hopelessly need to make.

He comes up quickly, removing my panties and crashing his lips on mine as he tries to help me keep quiet. I grab onto his back in desperation as my legs lock around his hips.

A painful mewl escapes my throat as I begin to come down. He pushes his basketball shorts and underwear down as he slides into me. The extreme tightness of my walls clenching onto him as they suck greedily around his aching cock.

"Fuck..." he whispers as he reaches the hilt, "you came hard for me."

I nod, panting heavily as he flexes in and out of me.

"Let's see if I can make that happen again."

He rolls his hips side to side slowly and deliberately as his strokes dance with my body. I roll my hips with his as he takes my earlobe between his lips. His hand holding my ass in place as he pushes deeper into me, finding that spot that makes my world shatter.

He doesn't quicken his pace as he finds it and feels me clench around him. He doesn't thrust into me deeper or pull me down on to him. Instead he skims it just enough to make me insanely needy for him.

He takes my pebbled flesh into his mouth and sucks on it sharply. The intensity of the sting not matching the gentle, deep strokes inside of me but yet being the perfect storm.

He leaves me with a mark on each breast, claiming me once again as his as a sudden and powerful electricity flows through my veins and tightens around his hard length as I come for him.

He kisses me again to quiet me as he continues to stroke my sensitive spot, this time pulling me down deeper.

"Fuck baby..." I breathe out as my head turns away for air, "I'm coming again."

"Again?" He asks with surprise and a proud smile.

My whole body tightens as come for him for a third time tonight, forcing my juices to drip down my ass.

"Oh my god that feels so good." He moans deeply into my neck, sweat running down his temple.

"You want to go faster, don't you?" I whisper as my fingertips dig into his shoulders.

He nods. "I do but I won't. I want this to last."

"There's always round two." I say with a smirk.

He turns his head to look at me with his lip curling and sweat drenched bangs hanging over his brows.

"You think you can even do a round two?"

"I can do anything I put my mind to."

He smiles and pushes himself up, gripping tightly on to my thighs as he pounds deeply into me making me moan out loud.

"You have to be quiet baby. We're outside remember?" He smirks and reaches down to cover my mouth with his hand.

He quickens his pace with his eyebrow furrowed and a gaping mouth as he chases his own release. He slowly moves his hand away from my mouth and I cover it with my own as he rubs my clit with his thumb.

"Come with me baby." He says slamming into me and just as I feel his hips tighten and his thrust slow, my walls crash around him once again.

He rolls over to his back and grabs the only thing to clean us up with, his T-shirt, and wipes me off and then himself before pulling me into his chest.

We lay there silent for a moment while his fingers stroke my waist slow and gentle.

A streak of lightening shoots across the dark sky, momentarily brightening up our surroundings.

"Maybe we should go home." He says kissing my forehead.

I sit up and throw my leg over him, straddling his naked body as his manhood settles in between my still slick folds. I can feel him thickening and flinching underneath me as he reflexively grabs my hips.

"Let's not." I say with a mischievous smile as rain drops begins to trickle on to our skin and he sits up to kiss me.

The thunder and rain acted as a sound barrier for our moans as we continued to make love to each other throughout the night while we still could.

And once again, the world faded around us. It was only he and I that mattered in that moment in time.
