Chapter 67: Fairy Lights and First Kisses

Start from the beginning
                                        

When I tilt my head slightly, deepening the kiss, his breath hitches.

I feel the exact moment he melts.

His grip on my hoodie tightens, his body pressing against mine as he leans in fully.

It’s not rushed.

It’s not frantic.

It’s slow. Lingering.

Like we’re memorizing the way this feels—like we’re realizing something all at once.

And suddenly, it hits me.

This is everything.

Everything I didn’t know I needed. Everything I didn’t know I was waiting for.

For a moment, we forget where we are.

We forget that we’re not alone.

We forget everything except this—this overwhelming, heart-stopping feeling that we should have done this ages ago.

When we finally part, both breathless, Tae’s eyes are wide, lips slightly swollen.

Then, he grins.

And giggles.

Soft, breathless little giggles that send warmth flooding through my chest.

I laugh too, forehead dropping to his as warmth spreads through every inch of my body.

He looks stunning.

Happy, flustered, radiant.

Without thinking, I lean down and press a soft kiss to his nose.

Tae squeaks, his giggles turning into delighted little hiccups. “Hyung!”

*Ding!*

Both our phones vibrate at the same time.

I smile knowing what exactly this is by now.

I reached into my pocket.
Taehyung does the same.

The screen lights up with a LoveMap notification.

You have reached the Romantic Connection Phase with Jin.

You have reached the Romantic Connection Phase with Taehyung.

We stare at each other.

Then, in unison—
Tae grins. “Damn right.”
I chuckle. “It’s about time.”

And just like that, we dissolve into laughter, holding onto each other as the city lights twinkle above us, as the world continues moving around us—

As if nothing has changed.
Even though, in reality—
Everything has.

I can't stop smiling.
Not even for a second.
