Chapter 19 - Stargazing

"Still up for stargazing?"

"But we don't have the stuff..."

She trailed off as Taehyun flashed her a smile before walking over to her.

"I can make it work."

He said getting on the bike after her.

"W-where do you wanna go?"

She asked after starting the bike.

"Hmmm I don't know, you're driving."

He replied with a sassy smile but it soon dropped when Y/N stopped the bike near the sidewalk.

"I will literally drop you off here and go home."

"Alright alright I'm sorry...just drive to the house we usually train at."

He said.

"Alright..."

She said before she started the bike again.

They were about 10 minutes from the house when a pair of arms snaked around Y/N's waist.

"Taehyun."

She called.

"What?"

He asked back.

"Why are you hugging me? I'm not a sobbing mess anymor-"

"Don't say that~ you weren't a sobbing mess. Anyone would've cried if they were in your situation too."

He said making Y/N melt----------and forget her initial question.

"A-alright just....don't choke me to death cuz if you do, there will be no one to control the bike so you will end up dead too."

She said as he nodded lightly, humming into her ears and she lost balance with the bike for a second.

The bike almost fell down, hadn't Y/N quickly brought it back to it's original position and driving it.

"Were you trying to prove your point?"

Taehyun asked nervously.

The latter only thought of it as an action she did to intimidate him.

"Yeah."

She replied mockingly before showing a sign of relief in her face.

And finally, the bike came to a stop and right when it came to a stop another bike stopped beside it, the bike had red boxes strapped to it.

"Kang Taehyun?"

The man asked.

"Yes that's me."

He replied and the man took out a box and handed it to him.

"Here you go, thank you for using messenger."

The man said before taking his bike and leaving.

"What's the box for?"

Y/N asked noticing Kai's name written on it.

"Stuff...."

He replied grinning before taking the paper stuck on it and reading it.

Ayo ayo my boy Terry! Finally getting the chance to go out with Y/N eh? Don't fuck this up alright?

Without love,

Kai Kamal Huening.

He quickly stuffed the paper in his pockets before Y/N could read it and started walking.

"Let's go?"

He asked and the girl nodded before following.

_______________

"You know, Stargazing sounds so wattpad."

Taehyun said laying on his back on the blanket that they spread on the rooftop.

Turns out, Hueningkai had sent them a blanket, food and two drinks for them to snack on after Taehyun told him about how his stargazing date went downhill on their way to the place where Ruka was held captive.

"True."

She replied before falling back too,

Her hands resting below her head.

"Cliché love story where the male lead talks about countless things and the female lead chuckling and thinking of it as cute.."

He said look to his right at the girl who was staring at the sky.

"Look at the moon"

She said and slowly raised her hands and pointed to it.

Taehyun looked up to see a full moon shining brightly.

"It's so pretty...."

She trailed off, lowering her hands and letting it fall on her side making Taehyun chuckle.

"Yup. It's pretty alright."

He said and looked to his side.

"What would you do if you were sitting on the rooftop with the person you like and they slowly lean in to kiss you?"

Taehyun asked scooting closer to the girl.

"I would push them off the roof."

Shs stated making Taehyun instinctively move back from her.

"The person is your crush Y/N, they want to kiss you but you push them off the roof?"

He asked.

"I don't know, it was just a thought.....but I wouldn't really like pushing you off the roof."

She said nonchalantly taking a bite from her sandwich but the boy's cheeks grew a deep shade of red.

"O-oh..."

He replied slowly, smiling a little.

What he didn't notice was the girl's ears turning red at her own statement.

_______________

Y/N was on her bike, waiting for Taehyun to come with the box so that they could go home and sleep.

"Y/N! I'm here."

Taehyun said and got on the bike to which Y/N nodded and started her bike.

She was going at an insanely high speed for god knows why and Taehyun couldn't help but feel the urge to thank her for their little 'date'.

"Tonight was fun!"

He half yelled from behind her, the girl simply smiled thinking he wouldn't be able to see it but Taehyun saw it from the rearview mirror.

"You should smile more.... don't always be the human epitome of raven."

He said, referring to the cartoon character, Y/N however got offended, she placed one hand on her chest while the other managed the bike.

"How dare you disrespect my bike?"

She asked, looking behind for a second.

"I-i swear to god, I meant raven from teen titans, you know the one that always goes oh and shut up, I'm trying to read."

"Ohhh....right yeah."

She said, placing both her hands on the handles and gaining speed.

"Wanna listen to music?"

He asked again, Y/N barely heard him over the wind that was hitting their faces.

"I can barely hear you! How are we supposed to listen to music!?"

She asked back.

"Airpods!"

He yelled back.

"Alright!"

She said before Taehyun took one and placed it in his ear and placing one in her's afterwards.

"Don't cry, snowman, not in front of me

Who'll catch your tears if you can't catch me, darling?

If you can't catch me, darling

Don't cry, snowman, don't leave me this way

A puddle of water can't hold me close, baby

Can't hold me close, baby

I want you to know that I'm never leaving

'Cause I'm Mrs. Snow, 'til death we'll be freezing

Yeah, you are my home, my home for all seasons

So come on, let's go

Let's go below zero and hide from the sun

I love you forever where we'll have some fun

Yes, let's hit the North Pole and live happily

Please, don't cry no tears now, it's Christmas, baby

My snowman and me

My snowman and me

Baby

Don't cry, snowman, don't you fear the sun

Who'll carry me without legs to run, honey?

Without legs to run, honey

Don't cry, snowman, don't you shed a tear

Who'll hear my secrets if you don't have ears, baby?

If you don't have ears, baby

I want you to know that I'm never leaving

'Cause I'm Mrs. Snow, 'til death we'll be freezing

Yeah, you are my home, my home for all seasons

So come on, let's go

Let's go below zero and hide from the sun

I love you forever where we'll have some fun

Yes, let's hit the North Pole and live happily

Please, don't cry no tears now, it's Christmas, baby

My snowman and me

My snowman and me

Baby"

By the end of the song, Taehyun was hugging Y/N from the back with his chin resting on her shoulder. He felt at ease, though he knew about what was about to come now that Mina was still alive.

Y/N on the other hand, was this 🤏 close to losing her cool and losing control over the bike, so she slowed down the bike and used the song as an excuse.

It was all peaceful.....until a light bulb fickered over Y/N's head.

"Do you love the rain, does it make you dance

When you're drunk with your friends at a party?

What's your favorite song, does it make you smile?

Do you think of me?

When you close your eyes

Tell me, what are you dreamin'?

Everything, I wanna know it all

I'd spend 10, 000 hours and 10, 000 more

Oh, if that's what it takes to learn that sweet heart of yours

And I might never get there, but I'm gonna try

If it's 10, 000 hours or the rest of my life

I'm gonna love you (Ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh, ooh)

Do you miss the road that you grew up on?

Did you get your middle name from your grandma?

When you think about your forever now

Do you think of me?

When you close your eyes

Tell me, what are you dreamin'?

Everything, I wanna know it all

I'd spend 10, 000 hours and 10, 000 more

Oh, if that's what it takes to learn that sweet heart of yours

And I might never get there, but I'm gonna try

If it's 10, 000 hours or the rest of my life

I'm gonna love you (Ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh, ooh)

I'm gonna love you (Ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh, ooh)

Ooh, want the good and the bad, everything in between

Ooh, gotta cure my curiosity

Oh, yeah

I'd spend 10, 000 hours and 10, 000 more

Oh, if that's what it takes to learn that sweet heart of yours

And I might never get there, but I'm gonna try

If it's 10, 000 hours or the rest of my life

I'm gonna love you (Ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh, ooh)

I'm gonna love you, oh yeah(Ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh, ooh)

And I, I'm gonna love you (Ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh, ooh)

I, I'm gonna love you (Ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh, ooh)"

Soon, the bike slowly came to a halt infront of the dormitories and Y/N was contemplating whether or not she should tell the boy.

"Taehyun?"

She asked as the boy hummed, snuggling into her shoulder....is he asleep?

"We're h-"

Y/N got cut off by something soft against her cheek.

Taehyun had kissed her cheek, the simple action sending jolts of electricity into both of their bodies.

"Good night Y/N-ahh."

He said getting off and walking away before there was squealing heard.

Not from Y/N, not from Taehyun and not from Hueningkai. It was Hannah.

"Girl he just kissed your cheek!"

She squealed again shaking the shook girl a bit.

"I-i know."

She replied, her fingers reaching up to her cheeks.

Turns out, Hannah was walking to her dorm from a cafe when she saw Y/N's bike drive in, so when she went to say hi, she saw Taehyun kissing Y/N on the cheek.

"Let's have a sleepover! We can talk about shit all night!"

Hannah said but Y/N remembered what she had to do.

"I'm so sorry Hannah, we can have it after awhile alright? I have some.....things to take care of."

She said getting off her bike.

"Ooooh is Kira slaughtering people tonight?"

Hannah asked as they made their way inside the dorms.

"Nope, I'm just going out a little tonight....but I could use some help."

She replied and Y/N left to go to her shared dorm with Beomgyu.

She slowly opened the door and made sure to close it without a sound and tip-toed inside the dorm to see a Sleeping Beomgyu on the couch and a tired and knocked out Soobin on the floor.

Y/N snickered to herself before going to her room.

However, she left the house soon after with different clothes on.

■Beomgyu POV■

I slowly woke up from my very uncomfortable sleep position.

And found Soobin sitting on the couch with his head in his palms.

"What time is it?"

I asked, my voice sounding way more deeper and coarser than usual.

"Eight."

"Where's Y/N-iee?"

"That can answer your question."

He said and pointed to the sticky note on top of a container of instant ramen.

Good morning hyung,

You're probably wondering where I am.

About that,

I have....errands to run.

I'll be back soon.

And don't look for me.

I will also borrow some stuff from the mansion if you don't mind.

It's ours afterall.

Your (not) lovely sister,

Y/N Choi.
