The next few days were amazing for both of them. They spent two days together, and it was a joyous reunion. Surprisingly, they both happily stayed in each other's presence. Maybe it was a good decision to agree to meet up. They both made each other feel comfortable, especially Taehyung, who never let her be surrounded by discomfort, not even once. How could he?

The way they concealed the atmosphere around them with delightful laughs and healthy conversation, was enough to enjoy the company provided by one another.

Currently, they both were walking in the streets. Chit chatting all the way. Their giggles surrounded them and loved, how they both were alone for the moment. Deserted by people so as not to interrupt their precious time. The park was engaged in uttermost silence, just two of them being together and nature ignited their blissful hours. They revelled in their happiness, free from the interference of any unwanted individuals. In addition, their skin looks so amazing under the lampshade.

The cold breeze blew, making the dry leaves fall from their places. Abscission was so pure in this matter!
Shortly after, it's getting more frigid in the weather. And was so hard for Erin to get some warmth, from that one layer of cloth on her body.

She departed the university and made her way to meet Taehyung at the park, completely unaware of the weather conditions. However, at noon, she didn't feel such a cold snap.
But for now, it was getting hard for her to control. The wind clogged her body and made it hard to get some warmth with all those rubbing things she was doing.

Soon, Taehyung soaked in the sight, where Erin was not fine. He observed how she was covering her upper body with her hands. This made him feel so worried. He at least had a T-shirt worn underneath of a jacket, and it was so opposite in her case. No matter, how much he is sensitive to cold, he could never let anyone freeze to death, especially her.

He took out the jacket he was wearing and laid it over her shoulders. This made them exchange glances with each other for a while. She was amazed at his humbleness and mature behaviour.
A gentleman, indeed.

She delightfully smiled and thanked him for this.
Regardless of all those expensive jackets she had, this brought her to feel ecstasy which she had never been introduced to.
Not gonna lie, but she did love it.

He blushed when he felt a smile on her face. Nevertheless, tried to maintain a composite structure, to not look like a,
'teenage boy drooling over some girl'.

She breathed sharply, and said,
“Don't you feel the cold?”

It would be a lie to decline. Taehyung was already pampered with goosebumps and her question made it harder for him to say no.

“Uh, no actually!”

She raised a sceptical brow. Her hands scissored against her chest in annoyance, she said,

“This sounds false to me Taehyung.”
His eyes expanded to the size of saucers.
He stayed still and didn't utter ord.
On the other side, she was disappointed in him for prioritising others over himself.
However, this brought another reason to stay with him and to love him. When there is love, there should be no impurities in the emotions. And, he was already a pack of comfort and so pure.

She put herself forward to be closer to him than she already was. Their shoulders bumped with each other and raised the sensation, which he never felt till now. She secretly grinned and admired him. Their hand collided, whenever they made a move.
To their surprise, no one was ready to make some distance too. Wasn't it just delightful?

Numerous stars were twinkling brightly in the sky, and likewise, they both suspected some notion inside their heart.
Once again, silence thickened the atmosphere. Both were left with nothing, except emotions flooding inside of them.

“How about I drop you?”
Taehyung initiated.

“It's fine, thank you.”
She stated.

He nodded slightly, realizing that he had been wanting to ask her about her contacts for the past few days. He acknowledged that he hadn't found a way to approach the topic yet. He was concerned that his question might make her uncomfortable, considering that he was just a friend. However, he was determined to find a respectful and considerate way to address the topic because he genuinely cared about her comfort.

He licked his lips, and after a debate in his mind, he questioned,
“Uh, Erin?”
“Yes”

“Uh, I—well, um.. ”
She knitted her eyebrows and told him to speak out.

“How could I contact you, I mean—what—what if we need each other help! Like any—-”

“987572XXX.” Erin interrupted him.

He gawked at her and was confused. She chuckled at his innocence and how he was being so nervous while asking for her contact.
She pinched his cheek, and this made our boy escalate directly to heaven's gate. Her touch on his skin was so deliberately mesmerizing. It felt good to him, actually, very good. He kept staring at her with perplexity, and his cheek spared hot. Blood rushed in his whole body, and somewhere private as well, where it was not needed. At least not for now.

He gulped the invisible saliva down his throat and sucked a pack of air harshly. It barely helped him.

His mind was all occupied with her touch, and the number she gave to him right now. He mapped down the contact and stuck it in his brain immediately. Does that mean, she is comfortable with him? Or is it just a hallucination? Whatever it was, it did feel so good.

Whereas, there was no limit of contentment and satisfaction inside the woman beside him. She loved the effects on his body just because of her. She is eager to experience that amazing feeling again!
His rigidly styled bangs, bronzed skin, sweat glistening on his face, and the impressive biceps bulging through his sleeveless shirt created an utterly mesmerizing presence.

They both gulped hard, as they felt some heated moment between them. Both of them found themselves unable to reject the truth. Now, diverting their eye contact, Erin spoke,
“I guess, I should take my leave now. Had a good day with you. Thanks, Taehyung.”

“It's my pleasure, Erin. The same goes for you.”
With that, they bid goodbye to each other and approached their way home.
