"Mom, it's not a date." You inform, fixing your jean skirt.
"I think it is," She claps excitedly. "Awe, my baby's going on her first date."
"You don't have to remind me that I've been lonely for so many years."
"But now this boy, Jungkook you said was his name?" She asks and you nod.
Oh, right. You told her the boy you were going out with was Jungkook. You couldn't tell her you were going out with Hoseok. She would start planning the wedding.
"Jungkook comes into your life and changes everything," Alena smiles at the thought of you and him. "Y/N, I have to meet him! First he comes over for a project, now you two are going out on a date?"
"Not a date."
"I mean, why haven't you introduced him to us?" She ignores you. "Are we that embarrassing?"
"Mama," You turn away from the mirror and look at her. "It's just the first 'date', okay? We aren't even dating yet."
"Yet?" She raises her eyebrows and purses her lips.
"I didn't mean to say that."
"Sure you didn't," Alena stands up and walks over to you. "Alrighty, my baby. I'll leave you alone now because the movie starts in about thirty minutes and the movie theater is kind of far."
"Okay, mom."
"I wish you could join us." She pouts.
"There'll always be a next time."
"You're right," Alena kisses your cheek. "Text me when you leave and when you get back home, okay?"
You give her a thumbs up.
—
The doorbell sounding across the house makes your heart beat faster than before. You could feel every single pound in your chest and you swore it was going to burst.
You rush down the stairs to open the front door. Hoseok grins, a bouquet of purple lilacs in his right hand. You smile at the sight.
On the other side, Hoseok couldn't help but practically drool at how good you looked. You always looked pretty in his eyes, but tonight you were on another level.
"Aren't you a good gentleman." You say, motioning to the flowers.
"The best." He shrugs cockily.
You roll your eyes playfully and take the bouquet from him.
"They're really pretty. Thank you."
"Do you know what they mean?" Hoseok questions and you shake your head. "Purple lilacs represent the beginning of a new love."
He raises his eyebrows at you in a flirty way and you instantly feel your face heat up.
"Um, uh, I'll go put these in water, and then we can go."
Hoseok chuckles softly at your sheepish state.
You walk away into the kitchen as he waits on the porch. You hurriedly grab a vase, fill it up with water, and messily arrange the purple lilacs in there. You had no time to make them look perfect.
You grab your purse from the island table and take out the house keys. Walking back into the foyer, you exit the house and lock the door.
"I'm ready."
"You look beautiful, by the way," Hoseok compliments, looking down at you. "You look beautiful every day, but tonight you look... exquisite."
"Wow. Fancy word," You reply and he chuckles. "But thank you. You look good too."
You extend your arm for your hand to mess with his curly, blonde locks, but Hoseok grabs your wrist before you do.
"If you want to mess up my hair, how about you do it while we do another activity?"
You scoff out a chuckle and retrieve your hand, "You know what, let's go before I regret this."
—
"Where are you taking me?"
"The whole purpose of that blindfold is so you won't see where I'm taking you." Hoseok laughs at your restlessness.
"Well, how do you expect me to feel if it feels like we've been going in circles for the past three minutes?"
Hoseok grabs your hand and intertwines his cold fingers with yours. Your arm extends to the side and you feel his warm, soft lips on the back of your hand.
"Trust me, okay?"
Butterflies, can you relax?! I don't want to throw up in the car.
"Oh, I'm already putting a lot of trust in you, Hoseok. I would never let just anybody blindfold me."
"We're here," Hoseok announces a few minutes later.
"Can I take the blindfold off now?"
"Hold on, miss impatient," He laughs. "I'll take it off for you when everything is ready."
You groan and he chuckles. You hear his door open then close. Oh, how badly you wanted to take that damn blindfold off and just peek, but you didn't want to delude Hoseok. It was all on your sense of hearing now.
You carefully listen to him walk back and forth. It sounded like he was getting stuff out from the trunk and setting them down on the hood of the car.
What could he be doing?
Suddenly, your door opens and you flinch as a reaction.
"Come on, princess."
Hoseok takes your hand and guides you out of the car. The two of you come to a halt and he stands behind you, undoing the knot on the blindfold.
Once it falls, your jaw drops open. There's a fluffy blanket on the hood of the car and containers of food on it as well. You then look around to see that he has brought you to the top of an empty parking garage, the stars and moon shining in the dark sky.
"Hoseok," You grin and turn to him. "I don't know what to say."
"You don't have to say anything. Let's just enjoy the food."
Hoseok pulls you towards the car.
"Wait," You come to a stop and he turns to you. "I can't actually get on the hood of the car."
"Why?"
"I'll literally dent it."
Hoseok laughs softly, "You won't."
"I will."
"If you do, I'll fix it, alright?" Hoseok tugs you towards the car again.
You let out a whiny groan and he smiles at how cute you are. Hoseok helps lift you up on the hood, his eyes avoiding to stare at your exposed, smooth legs. He then walks over to the opposite side of you and climbs on too.
"There's not much food, but I do make a mean sandwich," Hoseok mentions, opening up the container that held the cut up pieces of sandwiches. "There's also strawberries, grapes, mangos, and pineapple slices," He points to the individual containers as he tells you. "I wasn't sure what your favorite fruit was, so I brought a few different options."
"Hoseok," You look up at him, mesmerized. "This is amazing. Way better than a 5-star restaurant, I promise you that."
"I'm glad," He smiles shyly. "Now let's eat up so we can stargaze."
—
Hoseok and you were now laying down on the hood of the car. His head rests on his arm that's folded behind it and yours lays on his chest, his free arm wrapped around your shoulders.
"That one," Hoseok points to the brightest star in the sky. "I shall buy that one and name it Y/N."
"And I shall buy the sun and name it Hoseok."
He giggles at your words.
Hoseok looks down at you and sees your eyes sparkling with adoration for the stars. The innocent sight makes his heart melt.
"God," You hear him whisper. "How are you so breathtaking?"
You look up at him.
"Seriously. I've never seen a girl prettier than you, Y/N."
"That's a lie. There are so many girls that are prettier than me.
"Believe me or not, that's on you. I know my truth."
"Well, thank you," You answer shyly. "You're not so bad yourself."
"Oh, I know." He replies cockily and you slap his chest, making him laugh.
Unexpectedly, Hoseok moves from under you. His face and chest hover over yours and your breath hitches. He brings a hand up to cup your face, his thumb caressing your cheekbone.
"Are you going to let me kiss you now?"
You give him a small smile, "You don't have to ask."
Without a second thought, Hoseok lowers his face to yours and your lips meet. His demanding lips part your trembling ones, sending vibrations through your body.
Hoseok deepens the kiss, his dulcet lips imprinting themselves on yours like a footprint in the snow. The kiss inflicted sensations you never knew were possible of feeling.
No one has ever kissed you like this. Nobody has ever kissed you, period.
You had always wondered what stories meant by "melting into a kiss." You always thought the author's exaggerated it. Now you fully understood as you dissolve into Hoseok's lips.
The cold droplets falling from the sky makes Hoseok pull away. His eyes sparkle with desire as he stares at you before turning to look up at the sky.
"We should get going."
You look up as well, the rain fully falling now.
"Just a minute."
You grab Hoseok's face and turn him to you, pulling him down into another kiss. The rain runs down yours and his face to where your lips meet, tasting the cold drops.
As it starts raining harder, Hoseok pulls away.
"Okay, we gotta go now." He laughs, taking your hand and sliding off the car with you.
—
The two of you run out of the car and towards the porch, hand in hand, giggling like children as the cold rain falls upon you both.
You take the house keys out of your purse and unlock the door. You step into the house, Hoseok staying out on the porch.
"I had fun tonight," You speak first. "Thank you for everything."
"I did too," He grins. "And you're welcome."
Hoseok sends you a wink and turns to walk away. You bite your lip nervously, thinking if you should or shouldn't do what you wanted to do. As he's about to walk down the porch steps, you speak up.
"No one's home," You inform abruptly and he turns around. "Would you maybe like to come in?"
Hoseok catches the possible drift you were throwing at him and smirks.
"I'd love to."
