"8 months into the relationship and Juri and I were still going strong. She made me such a happier person... I'd like to think I made her feel that same way."
A luminescent half moon lights the night sky as Taehyung and Juri sit side by side on a rooftop, her head rested on his shoulder and finger drawing aimless swirls along his knee.
"Are you sure your mom liked me?" She asks.
Taehyung squints one eye with an unsure, "Uh... Yeah..."
"Tae."
"Don't take it so personally." He chuckles, "My mom's always been strict. Just be grateful you didn't meet my Dad or we would've been doing push-ups all night."
Juri laughs at the thought while Taehyung watches her fondly.
"So, when can I meet your—?"
"Oh, that reminds me! I have another date idea for us."
"What is it?"
Juri rummages through her purple backpack before finally fishing out two paper tickets.
"I got these movie tickets from a newspaper. There's this new movie called Godzilla, it's about some giant lizard monster thing. I thought you'd wanna watch it together."
Taehyung takes the tickets in his hands and squints. "But the nearest movie theatre's two trains across the river. We'd never be allowed that far at night."
"Then we'll sneak out." She whispers. Taehyung stares at the tickets in thought while Juri nudges him...
"Okay, fine. When?"
"Tomorrow night. Meet me across the marketplace. Oh, and wear something discrete so no one sees us. The plan is to watch the movie and come straight back without anyone knowing we were gone, got it?"
"It's a date." Taehyung smiles. She grins and leans in, pressing a long kiss on his lips.
━━━━━💮━━━━━ THE NEXT NIGHT
Just as planned, Taehyung walks through the deserted marketplace with both hands in his pockets and a zip-up hoodie to disguise his face entirely with shadows. Amid the silence, he draws out his buzzing phone and reads the late-night text from Juri.
