Heeseung carefully scooped out some icecream and placed it on Rea's plate as she waited patiently with a small smile.
He grabbed the same and a little more for himself, right next to the piece of cake making Rea let out a small chuckle.
"Are you not on a diet anymore?"
Heeseung smiled in amusement before shaking his head.
"I'm supposed to be." He said as he placed some ice cream in his mouth.
He had turned on the other two lamps in the room so that the gleam wasn't so romantic and made sure to turn on the A/C to avoid heat taking up the room.
Heeseung had to lay his head against his hands in the kitchen to calm down for a few minutes before getting back to Rea and he couldn't help but feel a little awkward now.
He never really had to stop himself from touching a girl before. Most of the time the girls he messed with were wanting him to touch them, and he didn't think much before he did.
But with Rea, everything was different.
He wants her, he really does, but he respects her too much to go against her wishes.
I'm not even sure I can sleep tonight...
Rea sat crisscrossed across from him, watching him as she ate some of the cake, seeing his face seem clouded.
"Are you okay?" She questioned, and he didn't look at her as he continued to eat. "Heeseung?"
"Hm?" He broke out of his thought as he looked at her, before looking at the plate again. "Yeah. I'm fine, why?"
"You just seem to be in deep thought." She couldn't help but joke a little, making him look at her with a small smile.
"I'm okay."
She hummed as she nodded her head slowly.
"I wanted to bring an ice cream cake, but I thought it would melt quickly so-"
"Do you want to have sex with me?"
Heeseung choked on the ice cream in his mouth and coughed loudly as he placed the plate down on the small table.
Rea panicked as she softly rubbed his back in worry.
"Are you okay?"
After his coughing fit was done, his eyes were watery from how hard he was coughing.
Silence fell in the room for a few seconds before he turned to look at her.
"What?"
She felt her cheeks burn as she looked down at the plate in her hand, before placing a spoonful in her mouth.
"What?" He asked again, making her smile a little as she didn't look at him still.
"I said... You heard what I said, don't act like you didn't." She said quickly as she shook her head.
"What made you think of that?" He couldn't help but ask softly, and she looked at him for a little bit.
"Sex to me is... bonding vulnerably..."
He remembered her words in her diary.
"With only someone you truly love and care for." He finished her words as he stared at his hands in thought. "With the person I truly want to spend the rest of my life with."
Rea stayed quiet for a bit.
"I don't think we have the rest of our lives together." She whispered, making him look at her. "But if we did, I wouldn't hesitate to stay with you forever."
His eyes clouded when he heard those words.
Heeseung softly smiled at her, before reaching for the small blanket behind her and placing it over her shoulders tightly. He grabbed the plate from her hand and placed it on the small table.
He held the blanket over her as he looked into her eyes, before placing a deep kiss on her lips. She gladly kissed him back, but she was surprised when he pulled away.
As he pulled away from her, he locked his eyes in hers again and shook his head, still holding the blanket tightly in front of her.
"Not tonight." He whispered gently making her tilt her head in confusion.
"Why not?"
He kissed her again before wrapping the blanket even more around her, almost making her a tight burrito.
"Keep this on. Do not even think of taking it off."
"What?" She questioned him as she furrowed her eyebrows.
He stared at her features, before placing a kiss on her forehead and grabbing her plate from the table, bringing the spoon up to her mouth to feed her.
"What are you doing?" Rea asked him but he only gestured to the piece of cake on the spoon. She hesitantly ate it, and he gave her a small smile before taking a bite himself.

Heeseung brushed his teeth as he watched Rea place a sheet mask on through the mirror.
"What are you looking at? Fly." She spoke softly as she smoothened it out on her face.
His eyes fell on his sweater that fell over her body and his gaze reached her legs.
"Are you wearing pants?"
"That's such a stupid question, of course I am." She sassed as she brought up the sweater to show him her sleeping shorts.
"Those are really short."
"And since when did you start noticing?" She giggled and he shrugged his shoulders as he stared at her. "I always wear shorts to bed."
"Do you?"
"Heeseung, what's wrong with you?" Rea asked in amusement as she turned to look at him.
"Nothing, what would be wrong with me?"
"Something's wrong."
"Nothing's wrong. Make sure to sleep a few feet away from me. You know what? Should I sleep in the other room?" He almost asked himself as he tilted his head.
Her brain started clicking into place as she hoisted herself up on the counter, narrowing her eyes at him.
"You're such a pervert."
"I am not. It's just that- today its- I don't know-don't hug me." He said quickly as she smirked reaching her arms around his neck to pull him closer to her.
"What?" She burst into giggles as she caressed his bare skin.
He stood between her legs as he glared at her, his toothbrush still in his mouth as he avoided touching her at all costs by placing his hands on the counter behind her.
"How do you look hot even with a sheet mask on your face?" He questioned with the toothbrush in his mouth as she wrapped her legs around his waist to pull him even closer. "You're the pervert here. You have your hands all over me."
"On your shoulders?" Rea laughed as she took her hands off from around his neck.
Her legs stayed wrapped around his waist and he turned away from her making her giggle.
She was oddly enjoying teasing him now.
She placed her head against his back as she wrapped her arms around him. He couldn't help but caress her hand with his own, as he moved further back against her, but he quickly moved forward.
"Are you wearing a bra?"
"You're such a pervert! Why are you focused on that?!" She said as she slightly slapped his back.
"Sorry! I can't help it. I can't stop myself from saying some things."
"You have finally learned from me." Rea chuckled as she let go of him so that he can get rid of the toothpaste.
"You've learned from me too."
"What did I learn?" She asked in genuine curiosity and he went back to his spot between her legs after he was done.
"How to shamelessly flirt." He playfully glared at her making her scoff and roll her eyes.
"I was expecting something more profound." She said with a smile making him chuckle.
He lightly pecked her lips, making her giggle because of her sheet mask.
"I thought you weren't going to touch me."
"I'm not touching you, I'm kissing you that's different." He said before he pecked her lips again making her smile.
"Why don't you do both?"
"Rea, who are you?!" He said exasperatedly making her let out another giggle.
"I'm just kidding. It's okay if we sleep separately today, if that's what you want." She said sweetly making him hesitate before nodding his head.
"Yeah, let's do that."
******///******
Rea turned on the bed as she looked at the door, watching it open.
"I knew you wouldn't stay in that room." She said quietly making him shush her as he climbed into the bed with her.
He laid there facing the ceiling for a couple of seconds, before placing one of the big pillows between them, making Rea laugh at him.
"I came because I thought you'd be scared, this place is old."
"I'm not."
He hummed as she also turned to face the ceiling, containing her smile of amusement.
She looked at him and he noticed her stare from the corner of his eye.
"Look at the ceiling, don't look at me." He said making her giggle again as she didn't follow his instructions, still staring at him.
They went silent for another few seconds, before Heeseung took the pillow from in between them and tossed it towards the floor making her let out the laugh she was holding.
"Useless pillow." He muttered as he placed his arms around her and pulled her closer, laying halfway on top of her as he looked in her eyes. "Let's make out. Nothing more than that!"
"Sure." She giggled as she placed her arms around his neck, and his soft lips met hers.

"Goodbye, beautiful chateau! The memories with you will not be forgotten!" Rea dramatically said as she walked backwards away from the house.
Heeseung stared at her from the car in amusement as he kept his arms crossed.
"Did you say bye to all the furniture too?" He teased making her narrow her eyes at him as he opened the door for her.
"For your information, I did." Rea raised her eyebrows as she got in the car before Heeseung closed the door.
Heeseung let out a sigh as he turned the car around and started driving off the property.
Rea pouted a little as she could see the vines getting farther and farther away.
They were both a little sad that their small getaway was over, and they couldn't help but feel like going back to the center of Le Mans would bring back their sense of reality.
She leaned her head against the window, before looking at Heeseung, who met her gaze for a few seconds.
"Thank you."
"I told you to stop."
"No, really. Thank you. This is the most fun I've had in a very long time. Disconnected from everything and everyone, just you and me. It was heaven." She almost whispered and he reached for her hand, intertwining their fingers.
"It was heaven for me too. Everything with you is."
Rea smiled at his words as she laid her head against the window again.
