The next morning I woke up with a smile. I didn't move though. I could feel Taehyung wrapped behind me and his light breathing on my neck. His chest fell up and down and I tightened my trip on his arms. I took a deep breath and tried to fall back asleep.

"Afraid I'm gunna float away?"

I giggled. "No, just making sure you don't."

He chuckled and tightened his grip on me in return burying his nose into my neck. He took in a deep breath and sighed. "You always smell so good...I love it."

I smiled to myself. He always said things that made me smile like an idiot. We laid there peacefully until a loud ringing echoed through the room.

We both groaned. "Baby, that's your ringtone."

He let go of me and I scooted to the side of the king size bed grabbing my phone. "It's Jimin."

"Ignore him."

"I can't do that." I scoffed at him.

"Why?"

"Because if I don't answer he would come down here looking for me..."

"You make a good point."

I giggled and rolled my eyes answering the phone. "Hello?"

"Did he like it?"

"Well good morning to you too, Jiminie." I laughed. "And yes...very much so."

"I KNEW IT!...HEY YOONGI HYUNG...TAE LIKED IT."

Distantly I heard Yoongi reply. "No shit he liked it, Jimin."

"Sooooooo Noona..."

"What?"

"Did uh...did you guys...talk about...anything? You know...about...you guys?"

I looked over at Taehyung who was looking at me with a confused expression.

"What exactly could we have talked about, Jimin?"

I watched Tae's eyes go wide and he quickly crawled to me attempting to grab my phone. I was faster. I quickly stood up and made my way to the bathroom as he chased after me. I was able to get the door closed and locked before I heard Jimin.

"Well...I mean...did he ask you anything?"

"BABE, HANG UP THE PHONE!" Tae yelled from outside the door.

"He may have." I replied to Jimin. "What do you know?"

Again I heard Yoongi in the background. "Did he ask her out or not?"

"SHHHHH Hyung, she can hear you!"

"You knew he was going to ask me to be his girlfriend?"

"DAMN IT, JIMIN!" I heard Tae yell again. He pounded on the door a few more times. "BABY, PLEASE STOP TALKING TO HIM!"

"Jimin...how long has Tae been planning this?"

"Ummm....well I...."

"PARK JIMIN, you tell me this instant or I will hide Bex from you!"

"He wanted to about a month ago but we all told him it was too soon so he waiting until the timing was right so he planned this big adventurous weekend as a romantic notion to ask you to be his girlfriend." He said in one fast breath.

I froze. He had felt this way for a month? I looked towards the bathroom door standing up to unlock it. As I opened the door I saw a very nervous looking Taehyug standing there breathing slightly heavier than normal.

"Jimin, I'll call you back." And I hung up.

"You had wanted to ask me to be your girlfriend for a month?" I asked Tae a bit astonished by the information I just got.

"Well...I ummm..." he scratched the back of his head and I stepped closer. "Kind of I guess. I told you I liked you and –"

Before he could finish his sentence I place a very light kiss on his lips applying only a bit of pressure. I wanted him to feel what I was feeling. I wanted this kiss to say that I was touched and ecstatic that he felt that way. When I pulled back he remained still as I looked into his eyes.

"What was that for?" he asked.

"For being amazing...for not hiding your feelings...for this very romantic weekend you planned." As I spoke I watched his smile become bigger and bigger.

He took my hand when he spoke. "We both deserve happiness, Noona. You make me happy, and I just want to make you happy in return."

I giggled and he brought me in for a big hug. I loved the way his hands felt against my skin. Even more so I loved feeling his body heat against me. We separated and I stepped back into the bathroom.

"Care to join me for a bath?" I asked raising an eyebrow.

"Oh, yes please." He said as he started taking off his t-shirt.

"HOW DO YOU WIN EVERY TIME?!"

"I'm really good at card games, my father and I used to play everything. All the time."

"That still doesn't mean that you win all the time."

"It does when I'm playing an amateur."

"Amateur?"

"Amateur.

He laughed. "Noona...I'm no amateur."

"Maybe at some things...but at solitaire...you suck."

He looked down gathering his cards. "I seem to remember you sucking as well." He said looking up to me. "But only that was still me winning."

I threw a pretzel at him and he laughed. "You're such a perv."

"Your perv...sculpted by...I'm sorry...who?"

"The Gods." I said. "If you're going to be cocky do it right and know your shit."

"You want me to be cocky?" he said giving me a dark look.

I laughed. "Not right now...I'm sore."

"What could you possibly be sore from, baby?" he said in a faked concerned voice.

"From your Taeconda!" I said laughing.

He blushed at my nickname. "I asked you not to call it that..." he said annoyed.

"I'm sorry but ever since Jimin said it I can't not think of it." I laughed.

He tried to suppress his smile as he laid out his cards in the order they needed to be in to play again.

"TAE!"

"WHAT?"

"WHY DO YOU HAVE THAT?"

"You don't like it?"

"NO! Get it away!"

"Awww Noona, its just a little bug."

"IT'S A DISGUSTING JUNE BUG IS WHAT IT IS!"

"They don't hurt you."

"I still don't like them...take it away from me."

"Fine...go on little guy...fly away."

The bug started to fly and I ducked out of the way.

"You don't like bugs?"

"I don't like JUNE bugs...they are gross and creepy...and they stick to you like a gross little..."

"Bug?"

"Yeah...and they get stuck in my hair. It's terrifying."

He chuckled a bit wrapping his arms around me. "If you ever get a June Bug in that beautiful curly hair of yours I promise I will get it out for you."

I returned the hug snuggling close to him. "Thank you." I mumbled.

"I'm kinda bummed that it's our last night here." I said as I snuggled up to Tae's side.

"Me too...we didn't even get to use my rope." He teased.

I sat up a bit looking down at him. I raised and eyebrow questioning him. "Did you really bring rope?"

He nodded shyly.

"For...?"

He blushed a bit. "Well I'd never ask you to do something you're uncomfortable with...but I've always..." he stopped talking biting his lip. "Nevermind...no I didn't really bring it."

"Liar." I said. "Tell me, Tae. What did you always want to do?"

"Well..." he sat up a bit too be level with me. "I've never been with someone who I trusted entirely. Until you. And I've always wanted to tie someone up during sex. But I know that takes a lot of trust in me and..."

I put my finger on his lips stopping him.

"I trust you."

His eyes widened. "You do?"

"With all my heart, Tae." I said sincerely. Which was a big deal because I never trust anyone.

He smiled big and leaned forward kissing me. When he pulled back his face was twisted with mischief. "Sooooo....does that mean..."

"Yes...you can tie me up."

"YES!"

"But preferably not in a hotel..."

His face fell a bit before he smiled sweetly. "Whatever you are comfortable with, baby."

"I would just rather do it in my own home...where I'm most comfortable."

"Perfect." He smiled kissing me.

"You're not upset?"

"Why would I be upset about you agreeing to bondage?...I'm excited!"

I laughed. "No, I mean that I don't want to do it right now."

"Not at all. It's not fun if it's not comfortable."

I placed anther kiss on his lips. "Thank you, Tae."

We spent the last day of our trip at the pool. We talked and kissed; an older couple told us we reminded them of themselves at our age. Turned out she was older than her husband. I'm not going to lie, that small insight actually made me feel better about Tae and I's age gap. It didn't so much bother me that he was younger as much as it did that I was older. But after talking to her, she said that she needed a real man and found one in someone 6 years younger. Tae is only 4 years younger than I am, so it made it not seem so bad.

When we left we saw Heather again. She sent her love to Jin and gave us both a hug goodbye. We were both a bit exhausted from our trip. So once we got home Tae decided to stay at my place. We cuddled up in my bed and fell asleep quickly.

As I fell into slumber I reminisced in all of the memories Taehyung and I made from our weekend. I gave him my surprise, we made things official, and I had more fun than I ever had before. But even with all the good...I remember the feelings of being watched. The all too familiar anxiety radiated through me. As those thoughts started to fill my mind, I felt Taehyung pull me closer to him laying my head on his chest. With that, my bad thoughts were quickly forgotten, and I was back in my blissful paradise.
