Coco watches Taehyung's eyes become crescents behind his rising cheeks when his lips part in a cheeky smile.
She quickly turns her gaze to the tablet on the desk when Taehyung's head moved up to look at her, pretending to stroke lines against the draft, but she was simply going over the existing lines. In fact, she was finished with her assignment before Taehyung even entered her office, but when Taehyung offered to accompany her while she worked, she couldn't turn him down so she pretended she was still working.
In the meanwhile, Taehyung was drawing something of his own on a blank sheet of paper he found laying around on her desk. When she saw him look back down at his paper from the corner of her eyes, she fixed her gaze on him. His warm smile put a smile of her own on her face as she admired the innocence of his pretty eyes and glowing skin.
She admired a bit more, floating amongst the clouds. Coco panicked when Taehyung's head snapped up in her direction and caught her staring, but he was too emersed in his drawing to realize how long she had been staring at him.
Speaking in a pout he said, "Oh, you're finished?"
Coco nodded softly, her red cheeks simmering into a light pink when she realized he hadn't noticed her staring. "Yeah, are you ready to leave?"
He nodded, neatly placing the pencil in the container with the rest of the colorful drawing tools. As Coco gathered her things, Taehyung delicately stuffed the page in the leather briefcase Jimin had gifted him for his birthday.
The two happily exited the building together, waving the curious receptionist goodbye when she stared at them both for too long. Taehyung giggles when the elevator doors are closed and the receptionist's judgmental eyes can no longer spy on what the two are doing.
"Are you hungry?"
Coco moans at the mention of food and nods yes softly because she was too tired to show any more excitement. "Yes."
Taehyung chuckled, running his hand through his hair to fluff it out before answering. "Ramen?"
"Always," Coco laughed softly. When the elevator stopped at the lobby, Coco mumbled a soft 'thank you' when Taehyung let her walk out first and quickly met her side. As always, they scanned the exit of the building, checking for any fans that may be waiting outside for them. Thankfully, they spotted none. Nonetheless, they both put on their mouth masks and exited the building silently.
The convenience store was located close to the BigHit building, and over the past week, it had become their to-go place for ramen when their schedules fell perfectly in sync for them to have lunch or dinner together. The sweet man working the store had recognized them after the many times Taehyung and Coco had visited, and offered them a sweet smile and silence as they ate.
"Did you hear the noonas talking earlier?" Taehyung asked before slurping in his noodles.
Coco shook her head, staring at his distractingly wet lips with a need to wipe them clean. "No, what were they saying?" She asked, tearing her eyes from his lips.
"um," With cheeks round and full of noodles, he smacked his lips as he chewed at a fast pace. "Apparently, you went viral after Friday night's concert because someone caught a video of me running to you backstage."
"What?" Coco's eyebrows rose up her forehead, following the widening of her eyes and mouth.
Taehyung smiled playfully, taking more noodles into his mouth. "They don't know it's you. You went viral as 'the girl backstage'— Eat!" He tapped her bowl with his chopsticks, insisting she continues eating her steaming noodles.
