My P.O.V
"This is where we're going?" I asked him as I peeked through the windshield, looking up.
"Yep, movies are always a good option for dates.. don't worry, whatever we're gonna watch, it won't be boring," He asked, unbuckling his seatbelt.
If I was clever enough, I'd think something's going on in his mind..
I just sat there for a moment, looking at him move; it's like seeing him moving in rhythms, very melodic, in a way.
I could just stare at him all day without getting tired of it.
He was about to get out of the car when I let out a soft sigh. He turns around and sees me sitting still and staring at him with a faint smile on my face. He sat back down on his seat and leaned towards me.
He unbuckles my seatbelt and as the belt retracts, he follows and his lips landed softly on mine.
I was caught off-guard but I didn't panic. We both closed our eyes and stayed like that for a few seconds, savoring every moment of it.
As we separated, he looked straight into my eyes as I did too.
And as he was going for a second attempt, I high-fived him right in his face and stuck like that and gave out a laugh.
"What the..!" He mumbled behind my palm.
I let go and cupped his face and gave him a peck on the tip of his nose. "Come on, babe, let's go have some fun!" I said, getting out of the car.
We were walking in the mall with my arm linked on his, just like how a couple are supposed to look like.
"What are we watching, tonight?" I asked him.
"I have no idea, let's see what's on," he said.
We walked our way to the ticket booth to see what movies are good.
We spent like a whole 10 minutes looking at the board, undecided.
"I know," Woo suddenly cuts the silence, "let's take a random pick!" He continued.
I threw him a 'huh?' look.
Woo closed his eyes and pointed on the board.
"Tell me when to stop," He said.
He started to move his arm vertically in a very fast motion.
"STOP!" I called, and Woo's arm halted.
He opened his eyes and looked at me. "Smurfs it is!" He said, and we both smiled.
We bought our tickets just to get sure seats and avoid the long queue.
"How about we get some dinner? I'm starving," I really am.
"Alright! You know the rule, babe. 'The girl never pays.' Got it?" He said to me. I just smiled and replied back, "Arasso, but just you wait. One day, I will get to treat you in my own way," I said, smiling back at him.
After a dinner of really awesome and delicious Korean food, we went back to the cinema, just in time before the film starts.
I waited outside the door while Woo got the popcorn and drinks.
He approached me carrying this HUGE bucket of cheese popcorn and one HUGE soda the size of a 1.5-liter coke.
"How on earth are we gonna finish that?!" I exclaimed the moment I saw it.
"What? It'll be fine, trust me. It's called mindless eating, you won't notice you're eating a lot coz of your attention glued to the movie," He explained, trying to reason out himself.
"But......." I looked at my body, "....... my weight."
"Come on, babe, I'll still love you with all my heart even if you're 200 pounds!" He said, giving me a peck on the lips.
Jeez, he always gets away with it....
We entered the cinema and the lights are still on, we had good seats and the moment we sat down, the lights started to dim and the movie started rolling - just like on cue.
La la la la la la, Sing a Happy Song
La la la la la la, Smurf the whole day long!
Damn, that song's really glued to my head, replaying and replying nonstop.
The movie was cute, we all laughed at funny scenes and stuff like that.
Woo and I just shared the huge popcorn and drink. Well, we already kissed so sharing one straw is no big deal.
In the middle of the movie, while I was watching, Woo tapped me on my shoulder and asked,
"Babe, do you still want any of this? Coz I'm full," he whispered.
"No, it's okay, I'm good," I replied without looking at him.
I can see it in the corner of my eye, I think this guy's up to something.
Suddenly, I can feel his face getting nearer and nearer to mine. He's like, leaning in for a kiss on my cheek.
Like right on cue, there was a sudden flash of light coming from behind us. And the moment the light flashed, Woo leaned his head on his shoulder, like hiding for cover.
I laughed at his cute act.
Mission to kiss, FAIL.
"Tell me, what on earth are you guys up to??" The guy behind us leaned and whispered to me.
Wait a minute, that was a familiar voice.
We both looked at each other and turned our heads at the same time.
With the help of the light from the screen, we can see Junho and Khun laughing at the both of us.
"What the hell....." I murmured under my breath.
"It is none of your business." Woo answered back to them who are mimicking Wooyoung and I when Woo was attempting the kiss.
We faced forward again and didn't mind the two of them.
"Don't mind them two, they're just being jerks. Jealous coz they don't have girlfriends to bring to dates." Woo said to me while trying to make Junho and Khun hear his point.
"it's okay," I replied back.
So there, we watched the movie till it finishes.
After the movie, Wooyoung grabbed my hand and we made our way to the exit, making sure Junho and Khun lose track of us before they tease us even more.
The moment we made it in the car, we both laughed and caught our breaths.
"Hop in, I'm taking you someplace else," Woo told me.
"But it's already 11:00pm, and it's graduation tomorrow, we wouldn't want to look hung-over tomorrow, don't we?" I asked him with a little pout on my face.
Woo looked up, closed his eyes and smiled. "Come on, we won't be long," He said as he kissed me on the lips.
He opened the door and I slid in. He sat on the driver seat and the engine roared to life. We were on our way to our second destination.
Before I knew it, I was sleeping like a baby in the passenger seat. The moment I opened my eyes, I saw a jacket over me, must be Woo's. But Woo's not in his seat either.
I panicked for a while, then I saw Woo outside the car, sitting on the hood.
"Hey," I said softly. He was lying on the windshield, looking at the stars with his arms folded behind his neck.
"Hey," he greeted me back as he held out his hand to help me sit beside him.
We both leaned on the windshield and stared at the stars. The car was parked in a spot where we're actually facing the Han River and the beautiful Banpo bridge with the colorful lights.
"Wow, it's really beautiful here," I said. As I turned my head sideways to look at him, I found out he's already staring at me.
"You are..." He said to me, with the warmest voice and smile.
This time, I was the one who leaned in and kissed him. It was passionate in some way. He was stroking my hair while kissing.
After that, we separated and I leaned my head on his shoulder while his arm was around mine.
It was a magical moment, and I didn't want that night to end.
Taec's P.O.V
It's already late in the night, but I can't find myself to sleep.
I just lied beside Jess on the bed, looking at her sleeping face while caressing her cheeks and stroking her hair.
She looked so perfect to me.
I couldn't resist kissing her on the forehead.
I leaned closer and pecked her lightly.
The moment I gave her a peck, my eyes grew bigger, not with excitement or anything, but with anxiety. Her temperature's not right.
I took a good look at Jesse's face and I saw her face sweating out cold sweat.
She's sleeping but her eyebrows are close together, showing a sign that she's feeling uncomfortable.
In a matter of seconds, she started shaking. I got furious.
I tried to wake her up but she can't seem to wake up.
Her temperature's rising like mad.
I panicked for a while, didn't know what to do.
I wanted to call Jobie and ask for her help, but no. Jesse is my girl, and I shall deal with this myself.
I went outside to get a basin of warm water and a towel.
I went back inside the room and I saw Jess curled up like a shrimp on the bed.
It's not easy seeing her like this, it's painful.
I opened her closet, found a sweater and a pair of jogging pants, she needs to fight her fever.
I moved Jess position into lying straight on her back.
I dipped the towel in the water and started to wipe her face gently.
I knew she came to her senses when she suddenly muttered, "Taec," over and over again.
"Shhhh, I'm here, baby, don't worry," As I continued to wipe her face and arms.
I hesitated for a while but I just need to do it, she can't stay sick in my arms.
I turned my head, trying not to look at her. I lifted her hoodie and took it off. As much as I wanted to not look, I still need to.
I dipped and wiped and dipped and wiped. I tried to lift her up and rest her chin on my shoulder just so I could wipe her back thoroughly.
After doing so, I slipped the sweater on her to keep her warm and comfortable.
"I'm so sorry, Jess, I just have to," I muttered by myself.
Luckily, I noticed her wearing shorts so I don't have to take it off before wiping.
I started to wipe her long legs and as I wiped, I smiled at my own thoughts.
"Aish, this woman, wearing shorts, but it's alright, since she has nice long legs"
Okay, stop it Taec, you sound like a pervert.
Okay, now's the part. I can feel my heartbeat beating faster and faster. I shall not take a peek.
I took off her shorts by just looking at her feet. I grabbed the pants and slid her legs inside without feeling like a pervert.
And in an instant, Jess is all cleaned up. And I can see in her face that she looks a lot more comfortable now..
I smiled at my own thought.
I put the basin and the towel aside, just so if I suddenly need it again.
I climbed to the bed beside her.
She's starting to feel a lot more comfortable since she lied on her side, facing me.
I took off my shirt and hanged it at the back of the chair beside the bed.
I held her close in my arms, keeping her warm.
"Charanda, Taecyeon ah, charanda....." I thought to myself, smiling.
One night wouldn't hurt, I'm sure Jobie would understand......
