THERES A WRITTEN PART, DO NOT JUST SCROLL THROUGH THE PICS!

WARNING: I think Seungmin took something this chapter, he's a littleeeeee too confident.

There you were, sitting across from Seungmin in the cozy café, genuinely hard to believe that this guy, who had teased you endlessly with texts, was now right here- smiling at you in that soft, playful way that had come to mean so much. His smile became infectious, a mix of mischief and warmth, with the wrinkle in the corners of his eyes and sparkle in his eyes to say he was as excited as you were.

“So,” he said, leaning in slightly over the table as he folded his hands together. “I have to admit- I wasn't exactly expecting you to go through with this whole meeting thing. Guess that makes you braver than I thought.”

You quirked a brow, smirking as you took a sip of your coffee. “Oh, please. You're the one who invited me here. Sounds to me like you're the one who wanted this all along.”

He chuckled low, adjusting his cap to look down for a moment, almost bashful. “Touché. I'll give you that one.” Then, in that so familiar teasing tone, he added, “But if I remember correctly, someone promised me a kiss once upon a time. Or did you forget?”

Heat rose to your cheeks, but you couldn't help laughing at his persistence. Even now, he had a way of bringing out a side of you that felt bold- a little daring if you will. “Oh, I remember. But maybe I'm still determining whether you've earned it or not.”

“Earned it?” he mocked, offended to the point of absurdity. “You have any idea how many hoops I had to jump through to get you this far? The least you could do is admit you're just a little smitten with me.”

You rolled your eyes, but there was no concealing the tugging upward of the corners of your lips. “Wow, humble and overconfident. Impressive combination.”

He grinned, shrugging. “What can I say? It's one of my many charms.”

The banter flowed effortlessly- teasing exchanges that added an exhilarating energy to the air. As the evening wore on, you began noticing how the café was slowly emptying, leaving only the two of you in this dimly lit space. The soft hum of background music mixed with the soft glow of fairy lights, an almost surreal intimacy.

Seungmin's gaze softened as he looked at you, the warmness in that expression making your heart flutter. “So,” he murmured, his voice lower and almost hesitant, “do you think I've earned it yet?”

His question hung in the air, laced with a vulnerability you hadn't seen before. For that one second, he wasn't the sarcastic guy who hid behind playful remarks. He was just Seungmin, waiting to see if you felt the same pull, the same unexplainable connection.

You felt your heart speed up as you shifted closer, your eyes locking onto his. “Maybe,” you murmured lowly, “but I'm still waiting for you to prove it.”

He held your gaze, “Fine. If that's the way you want it…”

Before you could answer, he leaned forward and gently tucked a strand of hair behind your ear; his fingers lingered no more than a second longer than the task required, but it was long enough to catch your breath. His eyes traced the curves of your face as if committing every detail to memory, every freckle, every line. The hardness in his expression had softened, an unspoken intensity that seemed to bleed the whole world to gray.

You needed to break this bubble that almost appeared to form around you. “It's getting a bit crowded in here, isn't it?” you said, glancing at the café that was suddenly nearly cleared out. “What about taking a walk?”

Seungmin chuckled; “I know a nice path not too far from here.”

You rose to your feet, and he did the same, some of the warmth from him clinging to you and wrapping you in the comfort of a woolen blanket. Out onto the streets from the café, the cool evening air nipped at your skin, invigorating and refreshing it. The streets were quiet, softly lit by streetlights, with a soft glow on the pavement.

While walking side by side, the subjects turned lighter: favorite movies, embarrassing childhood stories, and mutual dreams for the future. Every laugh, every playfully given nudge, felt like another step closer, a cementing of that bond initially fostered through your texts. You could feel the electricity in the air, that magnetic pull seeming to draw you closer together.

"Alright then, now that we're out here," Seungmin said, turning to you, "do you think I deserve that kiss?" You felt your heart go up at the question as a playful sparkle danced in his eyes, your tummy fluttering. "Maybe," you replied, tilting your head a little. "But I think you need to work a little harder."

Another step in, and the space between you was smaller. "What do you suggest?" he said, in a low teasing voice with just a hint of sincerity lacing his tone that caused your breath to quiver.

"Surprise me," you said, almost daring it.

He paused, his eyes probing yours, and then, not breaking his gaze, he leaned in closer, pulling his mask down, his breath warm against your skin. "Last chance to back out," he whispered, so soft you could hardly hear it over the night sounds.

You laughed softly, shaking your head. "Not a chance."

With that, his lips grazed yours tenderly at first, like testing the waters, as if he wanted to make sure you were still there, still with him. The world around you melted into nothing. When you didn't pull away, he deepened the kiss, his hand moving to cup the side of your face. It was a moment that seemed timeless, every heartbeat loud with the thrill of finally being this close.

You drew back, breathless, but he wouldn't let you get too far. His forehead against yours, he chuckled softly. "Well," he murmured, "I'd say that was worth the wait."

You rolled your eyes, smiling despite yourself. “Always have to get the last word, don't you?”

"Of course," he grinned, tugging you closer. "Now that I finally got you here, you think I'd let you off the hook that easily?”

You laughed, and for the first time in what felt like forever, you felt that warmth, that sense of happiness. The connection between the two of you was palpable, electric. This was where you were meant to be, the start of something beautiful and uncharted.

You had shared that first kiss, and for a beat longer, you were still wrapped in Seungmin's embrace, the hum of the city soft around you, the warmth between you souring into something indescribable.

Finally, he drew back, pulling his mask over his face again, his throat clearing with a nervous smile. "So… what now? Another walk?" he stammered, with a gesture toward the quiet, tree-lined path beside the river. It was one of those places that seemed out of a picture postcard: streetlamps cast a soft, pale glow over the water, and the moon high above reflected off the surface in shimmering ripples.

"Lead the way," you said, smiling, as he fell into step beside you.

As you walked, the conversation drifted from light banter to something a little more meaningful. Seungmin asked you about your other interests and listened as you talked about your love for editing and the kind of stories you wanted to tell. The more you spoke, the more you noticed his focused attention, his gaze locked onto you with an intensity that coursed through you on waves of exhilaration and vulnerability.

"I gotta say," he interrupted at one moment, "it is pretty impressive, what you're doing. You know, not everyone has the guts to follow their passion that way."

You laughed, nudging him playfully. "Says the guy who's living out his dream on the screens in front of millions."

He chuckled, scratching the back of his neck. "Touché. But still, there's something different about being behind the scenes, making the magic happen."

You walked in comfortable silence for quite some time, sometimes brushing shoulders as you strolled along the riverbank, lulled by the sound of water lapping against the shore. City lights were bright, but here they felt so very far away as if this small bubble of quiet belonged only to the two of you.

You eventually sat down on a stone bench at a right angle to the river, for which the city skyline was waltzing on the water's surface.

"Hey," Seungmin said, pulling out his phone, “we've got to take a picture to remember this, right?”

Before you could protest, he'd already clamped an arm over your shoulder, pulling in close and snapping a quick photo. You couldn't help but burst out laughing as he insisted on more, experimenting with goofy faces and poses until he finally settled on one: both of you smiling, looking at each other instead of the camera, the river glinting behind you.

"That one's perfect," he said softly, studying the photo with a soft smile. "See? I told you I'd get a good one."

You rolled your eyes, but your heart fluttered at the way he looked at you. "Send it to me, then."

"Only if you promise I'll be getting more photos like this in the future." He said it lightly but there was a hopeful look in his eyes, as if he was already thinking about the next time.

"Deal," you said and felt a shy smile spread across your face. It was a weirdly momentous moment, you'd just promised something bigger.

As the night wore on, Seungmin kept the conversation light, slipping in more of that sarcastic charm that had drawn you to him in the first place. He'd nudge you playfully whenever you teased him, tugging you closer with every step. Finally, the two of you wandered back toward the bench, sitting close as you looked out over the river.

There was a sense of heat between you two, something electric and steady at the very same time. He reached out, taking your hand in his and lacing your fingers together. "You know," he murmured, voice low, "I didn't think finding you in person was going to feel this…right? Like it was always supposed to happen."

It left you speechless for a moment, your heart beating with frantic beats as your mind digested his words. "Me neither," you said softly, your eyes slipping to his hand in yours, the fact of what connected you hitting with lovely, unmistakable clarity.

When you looked up at him again, any sign of hardness in his eyes was gone, his gaze tracing along your face in that quiet way it had before. He quietly took off his mask and leaned into you again, his free hand delicately cupping the side of your face, his thumb stroking along your cheek as his lips found their place on yours in a kiss that was deeper, bolder this time filled with all the things words couldn't quite say.

After a few lingering moments, you finally pulled back, breathless, wearing a matching smile with him. "Guess that makes up for all the teasing," he whispered, his voice warm with amusement. You laughed, shaking your head. "Maybe I'll let you get away with it…this time."

He smiled, tugging you back in once more as you stood there in silence, the world fading away until it was just the two of you.

You couldn’t stop smiling the whole way home, replaying the night in your mind, each memory bringing back the warmth and excitement you’d felt. Just as you reached your door, your phone buzzed with a message from Seungmin.

With a smile, you set down your phone, the memories of the night keeping you warm as you drifted off to sleep.

With a small smile, Seungmin closed the chat, his heart light as he lay back, replaying the night’s events and looking forward to the next time he’d see you.

I don't like this, like actually :,3
