Chapter-23
Bridge Alexander II

The bright starry night. Stars twinkling in the dark sky. Moonlight kissing your cheeks softly. Wind blowing past you. The water down there rushing past the stones, sounding loud yet soothing.

"Wow, it's empty.", you exclaim with surprise. The bridge was almost empty, regardless of its popularity. He chuckles, "Of course, it's past twelve." Taehyung and you slept for eight hours straight. And the thing was....when you woke up, you found Taehyung shaking you to get off him. Your face was dug in his puffed up chest. Yes, because of the size of the bed. Taehyung told you how he pulled you over him so both of you could sleep well, instead of sleeping in the same position. It was somewhat embarrassing to you, but you consoled yourself— saying that it was Taehyung who put you there.

"Why did you bring me here at this time. I wanted to enjoy it with others too.", you pouted and muttered lowly. "It is too crowded during the daytime. I thought you needed some space alone too.", he patted your back and proceeded to walk to the sides. It was the night for a full moon, and the moon was glowing too much. You didn't need a source of light in such a strong light.

You follow him along, standing inches away beside him. You situate your arms on the black balustrade, leaning your body to weigh it on the balustrades. You watch the water flow rapidly, creating the melodious sound. It was good music to your ears. Your eyes were stuck on the glowing white moon, pondering what it would be like to walk till there.

"What a beautiful place. It's heaven to visit here.", you blurted out. Taehyung snaps his gaze at you, grinning at your confession. "The moon is so pretty today.", he averted his gaze back at the moon. You look at him, "You know, that is a phrase in Japan which means you're in love with someone."

"I know.", he turns his body to you, leaning an arm on the balustrade. "Then.... Why did you say that?", you tilt your head, wondering about his saying with a smile on your face. "Because...... I am in love with someone." The smile from your face slowly fades away. Your head tilts slowly to him in amusement. "What?"

"That moon is looking pretty, but not more than my moon.", he glances at the moon, averting his gaze back to you. "Love? My moon?", you frown at his words. "You are smart, but unfortunately, you can't even get what I mean.......Kim Y/n, I love you."

Your lips aparted swiftly. Your surroundings started to be unsound. Your wide open eyes gawks into his brown orbs, finding the same sparks of the hundreds of stars in them. "I said I love you, Kim Y/n." To your ears, he just mouthed those words, they didn't make any voice. A very anonymous warmth ignited in your heart, causing it to beat a little rapidly. The same feeling of sparks started to ride in your stomach, this time swiftly.

The desperation to hear a reply, the passionate love in his eyes, the pounding heart against his chest, the big lump in his throat, the shaking hands, he wasn't any better. His breath was unstable, and his limbs were shaking in fear for some reason. His hands reach out for yours.

"Y/n?", he mutters softly under his breath. He gently grasps on your hands, rubbing his thumb against your soft skin. Worry runs through his emotions, he steps closer to you with a big frown plastered on his face. "Y/n?!" You finally pull yourself out of the unknown motion, panting to breathe all of a sudden. Seeing you heave your breath, he couldn't help but to embrace you.

"Are you okay?", he pats your back while resting his chin on your shoulder. "I-I am okay.", you manage to whisper those words. "Did I make you uncomfortable?", he pulls out of the hug, his hands still holding your arms. "No, it's just– I was startled-" "I'm sorry.", he breathes at the same pace as yours. "Do-Don't be.", you pull him close to you, wrapping your arms around his neck.

"I was scared for a moment. I thought you froze.", he giggles unexpectedly, wrapping his arms around you. "I'm really sorry.", you continue to pull him closer. "Forget what I said- let's go back-" "But I need to talk to you about it.", you detached him from yourself. He purses his lips together, bobbing his head lightly. You both get back to your previous position, resting on the black balustrades.

Taehyung looked nervous. He didn't look this way even before confessing his feelings to you. It must be that he was pretty confident about it and now your reaction had him lose it.

"What do you want to talk about?", his long eyelashes flutter at you. You looked at the moon to avoid the awkward moment, "I hope you won't get me wrong." He nods his head at you.

"I was somewhat aware of it. Not individually, but somewhere in me— I knew. Why would a man possibly keep me in his villa, handle my expenses, treat me well even though I have nothing to give him.

Your eyes, do you think I don't notice them? They shined every time you looked at me. Your behaviour. It was beyond my understanding. You treated me like your queen. My mind was unaware of the emotions you had. But my heart wasn't. And somehow, the heart didn't really tell it to me so seriously. I always wondered about it all, and ultimately, I'd say that it is just normal, he will never like you. I'm sorry if I failed to understand your sweetest actions."

You felt this way before Jimin told you about Taehyung having a crush on you

"No. I am happy that you at least– noticed it. I am happy that your heart was aware of it. I am happy that you didn't stop me from doing so." Your eyes meet at the most flustering moment, and they manage to lock in. Your considerate eyes with his adoring one, they were worth the contact. His hand was already holding yours, rubbing them to warm you up.

"I'm sorry, I am not reciprocating your feelings. At least not yet.", your smile looked really sad and gloomy. He shakes his head, "I am okay with that, until you consider loving me in the future.", his warm smile was just too homely to ignore. Your eyes started to blur in the forming tears. Overwhelmed by his words— your hand leaves his and travels up to his face. Caressing his cheeks softly, you seemed to be lost in his eyes. His hand mirrored your hand, and he was lost in your eyes too.

None of you knew how you both were coming closer every second, but you decided to go on with the flow. Your other hands started to slide onto each other's body. You stop just right when the tip of your shoes touches. His grip on your waist tightens. His hot breath brushes your lips and so did yours. Swiftly enough, he smashes his lips onto yours. You inhale a deep breath before moving your lips with him.

Just as he holds your nape closer, his other hand caresses your waist softly. Your hands slide up to his cheeks, you hold them gently. Your thumb manages to rub his sharp jawline. You sway your body left and right, coordinating to each other. His hands couldn't help but to trace your body down.

He swings you to the balustrades, pinning you against them. A gasp escapes your mouth when you hear the loud sound of the water splashing. He sneers, taking the chance to enter your mouth. His tongue rapidly enters your mouth, attacking on your tongue. You open your eyes only to find his chocolate brown orbs already staring into yours in a tempting way. You couldn't help but to blush. The sneer on his lips widens as he digs deeper in your mouth. He leans down, along with you. You felt yourself on the verge of falling in the rushing water.

"I-I will fall in the water.", you managed to detach his lips from yours. "Don't worry. Neither my hands will leave, nor my lips-", with that, he attacks your mouth once again. Your eyes flutter because of the sudden reaction. "B-But still, I am scared.", your mouth managed to escape his tongue. "I'd kiss you to death while drowning instead of regretting breaking this kiss.", his thug smile was visible. He pecks your lip before sliding his tongue in your mouth for the third time.

It was time for you to actually give in. Your hands cup his neck, and your tongue fights with his. His sharp jaw continues to move up and down as he devours the taste of your tongue. His tongue was way faster than yours. It was hard for you to keep it up with his pace but you managed to pull your best.

Just as the intensity between you two arises, your stomach starts to growl out of those sparks riding rapidly in your stomach. The pounding heart in your chest was beating a little too hard, and you were skipping some beats too. It was audible enough for Taehyung to know about your condition. Yet he doesn't give up. Your eyes open again, and you find the same dark brown tempting orbs staring into your soul. Ironically enough, you didn't even dare to look away.

Your warm saliva collided and surprisingly enough, you were feeling amazing. He started to swirl his tongue around your mouth, trying to find the sweet spot. You were really out of breath, and you didn't know what to do. Your breath started to heave. Seeing you so breathless, Taehyung pulls out of the kiss. "Are you fine?" 'Asking it after sucking my soul out of that mouth.', you thought.

"Yes.", you muttered, avoiding his beautiful eyes. You panted for breathe. The moonlight that flashes on Taehyung, it made him glow like an angel. Your eyes divert up to him, who was staring at you. Your eyes catch the mesmerizing beauty within him. "Why a french kiss though?", you look down with a shy chuckle when he catches you staring too hard at him.

"You're questioning me about it now— when I attempted it thrice. And also, when you gave in.", he crackles at you. You try to glare at him, but you ended up snickering timidly. "Let's head back now.", he holds your hand, smiling ear to ear. You nodded with a sweet smile, walking along.....
