paparazzi | JHS

Your heart flutters with excitement as you walk into the lavish restaurant, your hand held securely by Hoseok.

The atmosphere is enchanting, the lights dim with chandeliers casting a warm, golden glow over the tables.

Hoseok looks stunning in his tuxedo, his smile illuminating the room as he pulls out your chair.

"Wow, this place is incredible," you say, settling into your seat and taking in the luxurious surroundings.

Hoseok chuckles, his eyes sparkling with joy. "Only the best for you, Y/N."

The waiter arrives, presenting the menu. As you look through the gourmet selections, Hoseok leans in, his voice a playful whisper.

"What are you in the mood for? Something adventurous or something classic?"

"I'm thinking adventurous," you reply, your eyes meeting his. "Surprise me."

Hoseok grins, placing the order with confidence. As you wait for your meal, you find yourselves lost in conversation, the outside world fading away.

The clinking of glasses and soft murmurs of other diners create a cozy environment.

"So, how was your day?" you ask, genuinely curious about his latest adventures.

"It was good," Hoseok replies, his expression thoughtful. "Busy, as always. But I couldn't stop thinking about tonight. I wanted everything to be perfect."

You smile, touched by his sincerity. "It's already perfect because I'm with you."

The food arrives, plates quickly filling the table. Each dish is a work of art and you savor every bite.

As the evening progresses, you feel a sense of contentment wash over you, the kind that comes from being with someone who truly understands and cherishes you.

"Y/N, there's something I've been meaning to tell you," Hoseok says, his tone suddenly serious.

Your heart skips a beat. "What is it?"

He takes your hand, his eyes locking onto yours. "I know our lives can be chaotic, and sometimes it feels like we're always in the spotlight. But no matter what happens, I want you to know that you're my priority. You mean the world to me."

Tears prick at the corners of your eyes as you squeeze his hand. "I feel the same way, Hoseok. Being with you makes everything worth it."

Just as you lean in for a kiss, a sudden flash catches your attention. You glance towards the window and see a swarm of paparazzi outside, their cameras pointed directly at you.

The flashes become relentless, turning the cozy restaurant into a blinding spectacle.

"Oh no, not now," you whisper, feeling a mix of frustration and anxiety.

Hoseok sighs, his expression turning somber. "I'm so sorry, Y/N. I didn't think they'd find us here."

You try to maintain your composure, but the constant flashing is overwhelming. "It's okay, Hoseok. I know this comes with being with you, but it's hard."

He reaches across the table, taking your hand in his. "Let's try to ignore them and focus on each other. We're here to enjoy our night."

You nod, trying to block out the chaos outside. But the paparazzi's presence is impossible to ignore. Their constant flashing feels like a storm, each burst of light a reminder of your invasion of privacy.

"Maybe we should move to a different table, away from the window," you suggest, hoping for a bit of privacy.

Hoseok agrees, and the waiter quickly accommodates your request, leading you to a more secluded spot.

The flashes are less intense here, but you can still see the silhouettes of the photographers outside.

"I'm really sorry about this," Hoseok says again, his voice filled with regret.

You squeeze his hand reassuringly. "It's not your fault. Let's just make the best of it."

Despite the intrusion, you do your best to enjoy the rest of the meal. Hoseok's jokes and stories help lighten the mood, and soon you're laughing and smiling again.

The paparazzi may have invaded your date, but they can't take away the special connection you share.

As you finish your dessert, Hoseok looks at you with a determined expression. "Y/N, I promise I'll do everything I can to protect our privacy."

You reach across the table, your fingers intertwining with his. "I know you will, Hoseok. And no matter what, I'm here for you. We'll face everything together."

Leaving the restaurant, the paparazzi are still there, their cameras flashing like lightning. But this time, you hold your head high, Hoseok's arm wrapped around you.

All of a sudden, you feel a sharp pain as you trip over an outstretched foot.

Before you can hit the ground, Hoseok's arms are around you, steadying you. His face filled with anger.

"Back off!" he yells, his voice echoing above the chaos. "Can't you see you tripped her? Give us some space!"

The paparazzi momentarily step back, shocked by his outburst. Hoseok helps you into the car, his hands gentle despite the fury still simmering in his eyes.

As soon as the door closes behind you, the tears you've been holding back spill over, your sobs filling the confined space.

"Hoseok, they're going to twist this," you manage to say between hiccups. "There will be clips of you screaming, taken out of context. It'll be everywhere."

He pulls you close, his arms wrapping around you like a protective shield. "I don't care, Y/N," he murmurs, his voice soft but firm. "Let them twist it. Let them say whatever they want. All that matters to me is you. Are you okay? Did you get hurt?"

You shake your head, burying your face in his chest. "Just scared," you whisper.

His hand strokes your hair, his touch soothing. "I'm here," he says. "I'm not going anywhere. They can say what they want, but they don't know us. They don't know how much I love you."

You cling to him, feeling the storm inside you start to calm. "Thank you," you whisper. "For everything."

He kisses the top of your head. "Always," he replies. "I'm always here for you, no matter what."
