Taehyung passed by the familiar route as he made himself to the bench, smiling as he found the person he was looking for. Eira had been gently swinging her legs as she sang the note repeatedly, trying to make it work but for some reason, she was having trouble getting it right. It was too soon to admit defeat as she really wanted to prove herself capable not to everyone but to herself. If singing was her dream, she will have to work hard to make it a reality. She frowned as her throat was sore now and she knew there was no use in practicing more. Taehyung walked closer and he handed her a water bottle, sitting right next to her and though her first instinct is to usually run away from him, she did nothing of that but instead to Taehyung's surprise, she placed her head right on his shoulder, the mere gesture was enough to make his heart beat a little faster and he felt proud that she felt comfortable around him more now.

"Having some trouble?" Taehyung asked and he realized that it was too much of an obvious question as he knew she was struggling and he scolded himself internally. Eira just nodded to his question, drowning the water bottle he handed her, the coolness was calmness from the heat.

"I had trouble with hitting notes as well since my voice is a little deeper so it took more practice to find the right keys," he started to explain. "I saw you practice just now and I feel you are just a little stressed that's all because you want to get it right so you start pushing yourself too much but I'm sure you will get it down. Maybe you could even practice with me."

Eira looked up at him with a smile as she held his hand.

"You keep taking care of me, I want to do same," Eira told him.

"Go on a date with me," Taehyung blurted and blushed at how sudden he ended up saying that. "The ice cream date, can we have that today?"

Eira smiled and nodded her head.

"I would like that," she stood up, from her seat, placing a kiss on Taehyung's cheek and she realized what she had done, eyes widening a little and she looked at Taehyung who couldn't stop smiling.

"I-I'll see you then," she blushed, walking away quickly which made Taehyug laugh. Some things would take a while to change between them both, but he didn't mind taking it slow after all they had gotten closer now and the thought of her being more and more comfortable around him just proved to him enough how deeply she cared for him.

*******************

Taehyung couldn't;t stop staring at the sight in front of him. It was a simple white dress that fell right above her knees, her hair was down, falling against the shoulders with a matching white headband. She had taken his breath away with how beautiful she looked under the moonlight that highlighted her delicate features, pink lips, rosy cheeks, and wide brown eyes.

"You look beautiful," he commented after a while and he noticed her cheeks were red from how long he had been staring.

"You look handsome too," Eira replied, turning redder as she realized Taehyung was wearing a simple white button-up shirt, leaving two of his buttons undone and Eira would be lying if she said, she didn't stare there for a while. She snapped out as Taehyung held her hand, the warmth spreading through her as they walked to the car. 

Taehyung noticed Eira had been fidgeting her fingers since they had sat in the car, her face a little paler which made Taehyung feel down that maybe she was regretting the fact she said yes to him.

"Do you not want to go?" he asked, his voice low and anyone could hear the sadness in his voice.

"No," Eira said as she shook her head, feeling bad that Taehyung felt that way. "Just scared that you will get scandal because of me and it would my fault."

"You don't have to be scared," Taehyung smiled as he spoke. "I'm taking you somewhere safe so I won't reveal you until you are ready. I'll be just fine and if a time like this comes, our fans will understand."

Eira nodded, feeling a bit better after hearing him talk and it made her happy that he was thinking of her as far into the future to reveal her to his fans. Was she good enough? She felt doubtful about so many things but she had to have more faith in Taehyung, He had been trying to make things right since the beginning so it's only fair she proves to him that the feelings she has for him are real to so she casts away her negativity for the man beside her.

He took her hand, helping her out of the car and swings her hand gently as they both making it inside. Eira could barely focus, her heart thundering in her chest at the amount of skinhip they were having and though he had comforted and hugged her before, this felt different. She was snapped out of her thought as she heard Taehyung.

"What ice cream flavor would you like?" he asked with a smile and that's when Eira realized she was standing in front of a bunch of flavors. She couldn't believe herself sometimes. She was zoned out for so long she didn't even realize they made it inside the shop.

"I'll take chocolate," Eira said after a while of thinking and realized what she said. She didn't even like chocolate so why would she ask for that flavor? 

"Sure," he replied with a smile and placed the order, leaving Eira stunned as there was no going back and she was now stuck with a cup of chocolate ice cream in her hands. " I didn't know you liked chocolate."

She wanted to laugh at what he had just said but smiled through her pain and stupidity. Why was she not correcting him? She wasn't sure as she walked with him to a seat and sat across. 

Taehyung noticed her painfully eating through her ice cream and smiled. 

"You don't like chocolate do you?" Taehyung asked and Eira felt embarrassed, unable to meet his eyes. "How about you share with me mine while I order something you actually like?"

"I'm sorry I don't know why I not tell you," Eira apologized and Taehyung just gently holds her hand, caressing it with his thumb as he looked at her with adoration.

"Don't apologize now," Taehyung spoke gently. "You wouldn't be you if it weren't for the little things and I fell for all of you."

He kissed the back of her hand as he looked right at her, her face turning a bright red as she couldn't help but look down. 

"Tae, I really like you," Eira started as eh gathered herself together, wanting to say everything to him before it was too late. After all, how long would he chase after someone who can't keep it together? "I never felt like this for anyone. only you and you make me happy. I hope you know because I get shy but you are always there for me and I'm thankful so I'll do my best to give you love."

Taehyung couldn't stop smiling at Eira's words. This was the first time he heard her say it and he was on cloud nine, wanting to scream it to the world how much he adored the woman in front him. He was convinced she was the one for him. Though she was shy around him, he had seen her bold and confident side. He loved every side of her and he knew he was slowly but sure deeply falling in love. The love that makes you want to write songs and scream to the whole world and Taehyung knew that the first thing he would do was write how he felt and turn into a beautiful song just for the both of them.

"You make so happy beautiful," Taehyung spoke sincerely as he looked into her eyes. " I care and like you so much. There is no one I want other than you."

"I should have said this somewhere where I could kiss you," Eira doesn't realize that she was saying this out loud until Taehyung replied:

"Why don't I take you somewhere we can?" 

Eira's eyes widened as she hid her face in her hands, before looking back at him.

"You can't just say stuff like that," Eira scolded a little, touching her heart to see if it was still beating.

"Oh but I can," Taehyung smirked, grabbing her hand, asking for the ice cream to be on his tab as he took her to the back and pinned her to the wall. "May I?"

Eira's nodded, her heart was already pounding against her chest and she wasn't sure if she was going to be able to survive that kiss or not. Everything went in slow-mo as Taehyung slowly leaned closer and closer ever so slowly and it was as if the whole universe was testing her right now as she could only focus on his plump lips and his eyes that looked straight into her and she finally felt his lips, her hands wrapping around his neck and her eyes had closes slowly as she felt fireworks explode in her stomach and she realized this was real. She was really kissing The Kim Taehyung himself and he liked her just as much and though she had imagined this scenario in her head, this was different. 

This was better than anything she could have imagined, his soft lips that felt so warm and the way his long finger wrapped around her torso. She was in another dimension and as he slowly pulled away, leaving her dazed.

Taehyung couldn't stop thinking about how close they both were they were, their eyes interlocked once more.

"I can't believe you did this," Eira finally broke the silence and she buried herself into him as her heart pounded wildly.

"Well I did and I'll do it again," Taehyung said as he smirked, making Eira even shyer. 

"Don't say things so easy," Eira replied as she let go of him, her cheeks bright red.

Taehyung ruffled her hair lightly and he took her hand once more, walking ahead.

"Let's take a walk," he smiled as he took her to the nearby park and Eira started feeling calmer as she spoke to him more, making Taehyung's heart swell. He wanted nothing more, but to help and get to know Eira. It was absurd how quickly she had made her way into his heart and though people said love, at first sight, was nothing but bull, he had found her. The moment he saw her, he was captivated by her personality and beauty alike.

"Are you okay?" Eira asked as she noticed Taehyung had been zoned out for a while now.

"I was thinking about how I really liked you from the beginning," Taehyung confessed as his gaze softened while looking at her.

"I still not believe you like me," Eira said as she felt warmer by his side, "but when you talk and say these things, I know it's real. I'm happy we are on date and I get to be here."

"I'm happier," Taehyung replied, kissing the top of her head.

The moon was shining just for them that special night as the couple walked on the grass. There was something warm about being in each others embrace and the moments she they shared that night, only brought them closer together.

"Jeongguk!" Cecilia exclaimed as she rushed into his arms, tears falling from her eyes as she showed him the email. "I got in."

"I knew you could," he smiled while he wrapped his arms around her tighter. "I don't know why   you thought your marks weren't good enough when you are so smart."

"The money though," Cecilia looked up to him, her heart sinking.

"Don't worry about that please," Jeongguk, rubbed her back gently.

"I feel like a burden," she said as she turned around, holding herself. "You come here to check on me even you have to live with the others. Things could go bad and now you are paying so much."

Jeongguk slowly moved forward, pulling Cecilia into his chest and he didn't say anything for a while just taking her hands into his and stayed like that. He knew it was hard for her as she had to do everything herself and it's even harder when youn are used to relying on yourself for things, but Jeongguk wanted to be the person she could rely on. She wasn't a burden but someone had had grown to love.

"You aren't a burden to me and you aren't using me for money either so don't think like that," Jeongguk spoke, trying his best to erase hee doubts. "I gave you this offer because I want you to ahieve your dream. You helped me realize why I loved performing again so this is the least I can do for you. You aren't alone anymore, you have me and I have you so let's share our pain and get through this all together. People won't just find out because I'll make sure about that. Let's live our lives together."

"No wonder I fell in love with you," Cecilia turned around and carressed his cheek, "Together"

Jeongguk smiled as he leaned into her touch.

"How do you want to celebrate?" Jeongguk asked brightlty.

"How about I make dinner this time?" Cecilia suggested. "My achievement and we have to celebrate the fact you are releasing your mixtape soon."

"I am?" Jeongguk asked confused.

"Yes, because I said so," Cecilia said as she moved closer, pulling him down as she whispered. "I'll join you in the shower only then."

Jeonnguk's mouth hung open as he look at Cecilia.

"You don't play fair," Jeongguk whined.

"Baby, you don't either," Cecilia teased then quickly went inot the kitchen.

Jeongguk laughed and was about to follow when his phone rang and he picked it up.

"Yes?" Jeongguk asked.

"A reporter know about your trips to your apartment," Mr. Bang stated.
