Happiness
In the park Gayoung and Hoseok had walked to after ordering their ice cream, Gayoung felt the cool, creamy and sweet vanilla ice cream melt and spread across her mouth. The night breeze sent shivers down her spine as her hair blew in the breeze. She could not help but smile and take a long glance at Hoseok.
"Thank you for helping me say no just now,"
Gayoung muttered, staring at Hoseok with a small smile on her face.
"It's what I should do. I know how it is with consent and everything,"
"You should try being a therapist,"
She joked, letting out a small chuckle as Hoseok just smiled at her.
"Maybe I should,"
He played along, his smile turning into a smirk. They both laughed together as they continued discussing about dumb and irrelevant things that made them crack up even more. Gayoung's eyes crinkled as she nearly fell over from laughing so hard.
Just seeing Hoseok laughing along with her made her even more joyful. His hickory eyes that were almost non-visible as they crinkled into crescent shapes and his sable hair that slowly turned nutmeg brown under the street lights that were gradually switching on in the park. Everything about him seemed so unreal. It was almost a miracle she even met him.
Gayoung's smile slowly faded away and so did Hoseok. He was also mesmerised by how surreal everything was to him. The way her nose scrunched up when she laughed and how her face turned carnelian everytime she smiled. However, Hoseok's eyes slowly trailed down to Gayoung's amaranth lips.
Everything was beautiful. Especially her.
Before he could even hesitate, Gayoung put her ice cream aside and started leaning forward. Hoseok felt his face grow crimson red as he leaned towards her as well. He put his hands on her face and pulled her closer.
Ignoring both their ice cream that toppled over, they both tilted their heads and closed their eyes with beating hearts. In less than a second, they felt their lips touch and a spark of a certain emotion run wild in their veins.
Happiness, something Gayoung had not felt for a while.
