It was late morning when Taehyung unexpectedly turned up at my door. He was casually dressed in black skinny jeans and a dark green knitted sweater.
“Tae? What are you doing here?” I asked.
“Now, is that anyway to greet your boyfriend” he pouted at me. It had only been a few days since we had last seen each other and started dating, his comment causing a wave of happiness to course through me.
I walked into his open embrace, leaning back as he pressed a quick kiss to my lips. He loved to relay affection in anyway that he could.
“Better’ he smiled. “And to answer your question, I’m here because I owe you a real date.”
I furrowed my eyebrows in confusion at him, recalling our time in the park and the fancy (and majorly expensive) restaurant.
“Technically those other times were outings as friends, I wouldn’t classify them as an actual date” Taehyung continued.
“Oh?” I asked, smiling “and what constitutes a date with Kim Taehyung?”
“You’ll just have to wait until we get there” he smirked. His spontaneity just one of the reasons I fell for him. Taehyung sat down on the couch as Kanna hopped up next to him for a pet “hurry and get changed!”
*
As Taehyung drove, the large buildings of Seoul and multiple lanes of traffic eventually changed to open fields and country roads, and as much as I pleaded he would not give me any hints of where we were going.
Taehyung’s deep voice was quietly humming along to his current playlist, when a worry crossed my mind. “Is it even okay for us to be out in public like this?” I asked, suddenly more aware of his hand softly holding my own. It’s not like we hadn’t been out together in public before, but half of those times I wasn’t aware of how famous he really was, nor were we actually dating.
“It’s fine” he smiled. “the- ah- this place is owned by a family friend. And they’re usually closed today, so we have the place to ourselves.”
After some time, Taehyung slowed his driving, pulling into the driveway of what appeared to be some kind of farm, or ranch?
“What are we doing here?” I queried, a smile on my face at the thought of possibly spending the day with farm animals.
“Have you gone horse riding before?” Taehyung asked.
“Only a few times..” I admitted excitedly.
“I happen to really enjoy it. And because you like animals just as much as me, well more actually! I thought you might too” he laughed.
Getting out of the car I was immediately hit with the clear, country air, something I missed since moving to the city. I breathed in, taking in the fresh smell, mixed with hay, mowed grass and animal. The subtle quietness of the place comforted me, reminding me of home, where the only disturbance was chickens clucking in a barn in the distance, or the occasional horse or cow.
Taehyung smiled as he walked up next to me, nodding his head to follow him.
“I feel so at home” I said, practically bouncing at his side with excitedness.
“Mmm. I know what you mean. It’s so peaceful out here, it reminds me of being a young boy again.”
“Ah! Taehyung!” An older man, between maybe 40 or 50 made his way out of the front of an old looking house.
“Ah, Hyun-tae” Taehyung replied, respectfully bowing his head to whom I presumed was the family friend he was talking about. The older man stated conversing in Korean, to which I picked up how it was “good to see you again”.
Taehyung nodded before introducing me, placing his hand on my lower back. I bowed my head to his family friend, politely greeting him as he did the same, a smile never leaving his face. He then turned to Taehyung, as he patted him on the back, "Geunyeoneun aju yeppeuda! Jal haess-eoyo!"
I looked to Taehyung, waiting for him to translate, but he just shook his head looking embarrassed. "Ah! Never mind.. Hyun-tae will show us where the riding equipment is."
*
Both slipping on riding boots and a helmet, I followed Taehyung into the barn, immediately greeted with the sound of neighing and hooves against the hard ground.
“Hello” I chimed to the first horse on my left. The animal stuck its chestnut head over the wooden gate, sniffing my shoulder. I reached up and stroked the side of it’s head. “Aren’t you just gorgeous” I smiled.
Taehyung ran his hand over the white stripe down the horses nose, a kind smile evident both on his soft lips and big eyes.
“Is there a certain horse we’re taking out today?” I asked, looking over the five or so horses in their stalls.
“Hyun-tae said the ones in these stables are all good to go for a ride. And you’ve seemed to take a liking to this guy, so should we take him out?” Taehyung laughed.
The chestnut horse whinnied, stamping his feet, seemingly excited a going for a ride.
“I think that’s a yes” I laughed, scratching behind the horses ears.
*
After tacking up the horse, I followed Taehyung as he led him outside. We learnt that our new friend’s name was Jeong, which Taehyung explained to me translated from Korean to quiet or gentle.
“That’s beautiful” I said.
Taehyung nodded “With his temperament, I think it fits him perfectly”
And you as well, I thought to myself, watching how Taehyung gently interacted with the horse.
“There’s a really nice trail that goes down to overlook the lake, I thought that might be nice” Taehyung said, adjusting the saddle.
“I like the sound of that” I smiled.
Taehyung put his foot in the stirrups, swinging his leg onto the horses back. “Okay Y/N, let me show you how it’s done” cocking his eyebrows and showing me that cheeky grin. He reached his hand out helping me up to sit behind him. I was instantly aware and suddenly nervous about how close our bodies were touching. My thighs easily rested against his, and there was little gap between my hips and his. Taehyung’s arms reached behind him, grapping my own and wrapping them around his waist.
“We don’t want you falling off” he said blankly before turning to look at me over his shoulder “you ready to go.”
“Let’s go” I smiled in return.
Taehyung pulled on the reins, nudging his heel gently into the Jeong’s side causing the horse to start moving. My arms instinctively tightened around Taehyung’s waist, unaware until now of how much the horse's movements would naturally make both our bodies move together.
One thing I had learnt about Taehyung since meeting him was how comfortable silence made him, never feeling the need to fill it if he had nothing to say. The two of us were enveloped in the sounds of Jeong’s hooves, birds and insects inhabiting the trees, and a running creek in the distance. I guessed it was a good half an hour before Taehyung pointed out a clearing, revealing the afternoon sun reflecting over the beautiful body of water.
He pulled Jeong to a halt, hopping off the horse. Taehyung grabbed ahold of my waist, supporting me as I swung my leg over and jumped on to the ground. Free from the weight of us both, Jeong immediately walked over to a grassy patch and began to graze.
“Shall we sit here for a little?” Taehyung asked, reaching his hand towards my own and intertwining our fingers together.
“That looks like a nice spot over there” I pointed towards a patch of grass under the shade of a large ash tree. As we sat down, Taehyung unzipped his bag, and took a drink from his water bottle before handing it to me. I drank the refreshing water and watched as he pulled out a container of freshly cut watermelon, and chocolate coated strawberries.
“Wow, you’re so organised” I laughed, taking a strawberry. “You took me by surprise this morning that I didn’t even think of bringing food.”
“Are you glad you came?” Taehyung asked.
“Very much. Definitely my favourite day spent with you to date” I smiled.
“Me too. So far” he smiled back.
Minutes of comfortable silence passed before I spoke. “Hey, Tae?”
“Mmmm”
"Can I ask you something?" He looked towards me with his large brown eyes, urging me to continue. “What’s your dream?”
“For the band?” he asked.
I shook my head. “For yourself. Away from BTS.”
Taehyung looked out towards the water. I noticed how his brows would slightly fuse together whenever he was thinking deeply. “I guess I’ve always wanted to be like my dad. To be a good father and husband like him. When the day comes when all this comes to an end, I just look forward to settling down and having my own family” He said shyly, but proud. “I’d love to buy a property out in the country, just like out here, and have a small farm. That would be nice..”
“Really?” I asked.
“Yeah, I’ve always dreamt of something like that. Why? Is it silly?”
“Oh no!” I smiled “It’s just.. I wasn’t expecting you to say that.”
“What’s yours then?” Taehyung asked, amused.
“Um.. mine is actually the same.”
“Really?” he queried.
I nodded “I’ve always wanted to have a small farm, with lots of animals. And to settle down and raise a family.”
Taehyung chuckled “who would have thought we would have the same dream. It’s like we were meant to meet” he said nonchalantly.
I really was starting to fall for the dark-haired man sat beside me. Dare I even think it, I think I was falling in love.
Time was passing by quickly, but the two of us sat unnoticed watching the setting sun reflecting off the water, talking and laughing together.
"Did I tell you that I have a few days off work in a few weeks?"
"That's great" I smiled. "Are you going to go home and see your family?"
“Come stay at my apartment for a couple of nights” Taehyung suddenly said.
"What?" I laughed, before realising he was being serious. "Really?"
"I'm serious. I thought maybe we could have a relaxing few days.. watch anime and play video games together?" Something we had already bonded over a shared love for.
I immediately wanted to reply yes, before I realised. “I can’t leave Kanna for that long..”
“Bring her” Taehyung said. “Tan would love to have a playmate for a couple of days."
"I'm sure she would love that too."
"So that's a yes?" he beamed.
"How could I say no to anime and video games?" I laughed.
"And morning sleep in cuddles" he said, causing me to blush.
I stood up, brushing the loose grass from my jeans and reaching my hand out to Taehyung. "Come one, we should head back before it get's too dark." I said, pulling him up off the ground.
Refusing to let go of my hand, Taehyung whistled to get Jeong's attention. "Do you want to have a go at steering him this time?"
"Okay!" I put my foot into the stirrup as Taehyung lifted me up onto the horse, before climbing up himself. He placed his arms around me and grabbed a hold of my hands talking me through how to steer Jeong. A small heel tap on the horse's side and we started making our way back to the farm.
If I thought sitting behind Taehyung had me sweating, I didn't think about him sitting behind me. His large arms were still around my body, resting his hands just above mine on the reins. The movement of Jeong walking along the track caused our hips to rock forward in the saddle. With each step the horse took, I was very aware of Taehyung's manhood pressing against me. If he noticed as well, he didn't show it. I tried to focus my nervous mind on anything but the feeling of my new boyfriend's anatomy.
Just over half an hour later and we arrived back at the farm, leading Jeong back to his stables. Taehyung was about to dismount when I turned to him, pressing my lips softly against his. He complied, smiling into the kiss, and I could still taste the remnants of fruit and chocolate on his mouth.
"What was that for?" he asked smiling, his cheeks darkened.
"For such a beautiful date" I replied, a little shy from my sudden forwardness of affection.
"I'm glad you enjoyed it" he said, stealing one more kiss.
The sky began to welcome the night as we drove back to Seoul, myself looking through the photos we had taken to remember such a beautiful day. I smiled to myself as I set a photo of the two of us as my phone lockscreen. With still a long drive a head, I felt my eyes getting heavy, tired from a long day outdoors. I soon drifted off without realising, listening to Taehyung's low tones singing along to the soft music playing.

Taehyung’s POV
Waking up, post party, in a dorm with six other boys wasn’t my favourite thing in the world. At least half of us would be hungover and spend the morning moping around. Then there was the dreaded task of cleaning the mess of the kitchen and living area. Half empty cups and packets of food would be left lying around, even if Hoseok did his best to tidy the night before.
Thankfully I woke up feeling okay this morning, praising myself for being too distracted to drink too much, even if that distraction was Y/N. At the thought of her I grabbed my phone of my bedside table to check the time (10:12 am), She hadn’t messaged since we text our tipsy good nights, so I sent her a quick text to tell her good morning, hitting send as my stomach rumbled. I reluctantly rolled out of my warm bed, throwing an oversized tshirt over my head and ruffling my hair out of my eyes.
As I stumbled into the kitchen, I was surprised to see the other members already up. They definitely drank more than me last night.
“Look who’s up!” Hoseok chimed as he sat at the kitchen bench. “Yoongi even beat you!” he laughed. Yoongi just groaned, rolling his eyes as he cradled his cup of coffee.
“Ah, Taehyung” Jin questioned, hovering over a hot pan. “How was your night?” He raised his eyebrows, a smile spread across his face.
“Hmm?” I replied, although I was sure I knew what he was teasing about.
“Y/N?” Namjoon smiled.
“Oh” I said, joining them at the bench.
Jin put a plate of cooked food in front of me. “Well..? Did anything happen?” He asked.
“Did you kiss her?!” Jungkook asked excitedly, and I chucked at how young he was sometimes.
“No.” I series of what’s and why not’s chimed around me “I told you guys, we’re just friends” I said nonchalantly.
“That is so crap, Kim Taehyung” Hoseok announced, causing all the boys to look at him, including myself. “Neither of you could keep your eyes off each other all night.”
I blinked at my older friend.
“He’s right Taehyung. We can all see that you like her, and it’s pretty obvious she likes you too” Namjoon said.
I moved the food around my plate feeling embarrassed. “I don’t want her to have to go through all the craziness of my life..”
“Don’t you think she should make that decision?” Yoongi spoke. “People are going to talk about her if she’s your friend anyway.”
“And you can just be private about it” Jimin added.
“Why are you all so invested in my love life” I questioned, slightly amused.
“Because you’re our friend” Jimin smiled.
“And sometimes you need a little push” Jin said.
“Just talk to her Taehyung. Like Yoongi said, she might be okay with it” Hoseok added.
“Okay, okay!” I whined, feeling embarrassed at the unwanted attention, and focusing on my breakfast. However, I didn’t miss my friends smiling at each other, causing just a small smile to appear on my face at the thought of what could come from this.
***
Y/N’s POV
It had been a couple of days since the party, and Hoseok’s words kept playing in my head.
Friends don’t look at each other like that.
Yet Taehyung had been pretty clear about being friends, and now that I knew who he was, I was sure he would never go for someone like me. I looked down at my dog, scratching behind her ears.
“You’re lucky, you know that? You don’t have to worry about feelings, or reading things wrong” I sighed.
As if he knew I was talking about him, my phone buzzed and Taehyung’s name lit up my screen.
T: Hey Y/N. Are you busy? Do you mind if I come by?
I had come to discover Taehyung could be blunt at times, but something felt off about his message.
Y/N: Not at all! 😊
T: Have you had dinner?
Y/N: I was just about to start it.. did you want me to make you some?
T: Good. I’m bringing takeaway. I’ll see you soon x
I buzzed him in not even half an hour later, holding two bags of warm rice and noodles.
“Hey” he smiled. He looked tired.
“Hey, come in” I said taking the food from his hands as he released me from his embrace.
Kanna came bounding to the door when she realised it was him.
“Hey baby!” He said, kneeling down to give her attention. She followed him into the lounge room, and laid down next to him as we both sat around the coffee table to eat.
“Is everything okay, Tae?” I asked, once we had both finished eating, the tv playing softly in the background. I was apprehensive about what his answer would be.
He sighed, making a bad feeling rise in my stomach. He must have noticed, because he quickly shook his head “you haven’t done anything wrong, jagi!”
My cheeks blushed at what he called me, but I smiled with relief “is there anything I can do..?”
Taehyung looked down at his hands, his nails suddenly seemed interesting as he picked at them.
“I’m a little shy” he muttered. His statement making me want to snuggle him in my arms and protect him from the world. He looked up, his dark yet kind eyes staring into my own. “but I need to tell you that I like you Y/N. A lot. I have since we first met.”
I could have sworn my heart stopped when he said those words. Sure, we flirted, and I liked him too, but it’s something different entirely, hearing the words you only hoped for. I was building up the courage to match his bold confession, when he spoke again.
“It’s driving me crazy being friends with you.. I.. I want you to be my girlfriend” he struggled with what to say “but I need you to know what you’re singing up for.” A sadness appeared across his eyes.
I simply smiled, encouraging him to continue.
“Being an idol.. our schedules are crazy and we’re constantly travelling, living out of hotels for months at a time. I hardly see my family and friends. And we have to match a certain image. Technically we’re not even allowed to date..” he frantically spoke, perfect eyebrows harsh in frustration.
I felt sorry for him. I could only imagine how it felt to be restricted from so many simple things in life. He told me how much he loved his job and how happy performing made him, but it would certainly take it’s toll from time to time.
“Please don’t feel pressured. I will completely understand if you don’t want to be involved in that kind of life..”
I could feel my heart pounding against my chest as I opened my mouth to speak. “Taehyung..” he looked up at me with those big, innocent eyes “I like you too, and I did before I knew who you were.”
Taehyung stared blankly at me before a shy smile took over. “Really?” He asked.
“Yes, really” I giggled.
He shuffled closer to where I was sitting on the floor, and gently lifted my hand into his own. “Ah! You have no idea how happy I feel hearing that” he smiled, giggling.
I was extremely aware of how close he was to me now. His dark, innocent, eyes darted between my own, as I noticed how unique his eye lids were and the way he slowly blinked. I admired the little freckle on his nose, and the ones under his eye and lip, looking as if they were perfectly placed on his honey skin. I had never denied how attractive this man was, but this was the first time I had fully grasped just how beautiful he was.
“What?” He asked, snapping me from daydreaming about his face.
“Nothing” I blushed.
Taehyung just smiled, bringing his other hand to the side of my face and brushing loose strands of hair to the side with this thumb. “You’re so beautiful, jagiya” He said.
Taehyung started moving closer to me, his eyes firmly set on my lips before fluttering shut. Following his lead, I softly closed mine, as I felt his gentle lips pressed against my own. And the kiss was just that, so gentle. There was no hunger or dominance, but innocence. I could faintly taste the sweet strawberry drink he had with dinner as it lingered on his lips. He lightly squeezed my hand in his own, and I let out a giggle against his lips, causing Taehyung to do the same. I shyly looked up into his eyes, both our cheeks flushed pink.
“I’ve wanted to do that since we were at the park” he smiled.
“I’m glad you finally did” I replied, giddy.
“So.. is that a yes?” Taehyung asked, cocking his eyebrows.
“Of course” I smiled, rolling me eyes as if it wasn’t already obvious.
He beamed his boxy smile as his thumb rubbed my hand in his own “and don’t feel pressured about the media or fans, we can keep this private for as long as you wish. Okay?” He smiled reassuringly. I nodded.
Taehyung and I sat on the couch talking, well into the late hours of the night. I wasn’t sure how long for. The last thing I remember was the sound of his heartbeat as we both drifted off to sleep on the couch. Happy, that we were no longer friends.
Taehyung’s POV
It was only when I woke up to a crook in my neck that I realised Y/N and I had fallen asleep on her couch. I rubbed the weariness from my eyes and looked down to see her peacefully pressed against my chest. It wasn’t long before she herself stirred, eyes still half-closed as she looked up at me.
“Good morning” I smiled.
“Taehyung? Did we really fall asleep on the couch” she laughed, pulling the throw covering the both of us up to her chin for warmth.
“I don’t even remember when we stopped talking” I chuckled.
Suddenly my phone rang as it sat on the coffee table, startling the both of us. “Hello?”
“Taehyung!” Namjoon spoke on the other end of the line “where are you?”
I froze, remembering the meeting we had all planned for this morning to discuss ideas for the next album. I cursed in Korean “Namjoon-hyung, I’m sorry! I totally forgot I’ll be there soon! Okay.. bye.”
“What’s wrong” Y/N asked once I’d hung up, sitting up.
“Ah, I’m supposed to be at a meeting with the boys right now. I’m sorry to just run off like this.”
“Shit.. I’m sorry!” She said, almost jumping from the couch. I immediately noticed the absence of her warmth, annoyed that I couldn’t pull her back in.
As I stood up from the couch and began gathering my things, Y/N returned from the kitchen handing me a banana and muesli bar. “You don’t have time for me to properly make you something, but you need to eat breakfast.” She said sweetly.
Without hesitation, I pressed a kiss firmly against her lips. “I’m glad I can do that whenever now” I smiled shyly.
“No complaints from me” she smiled. “Now go! Before you make yourself even later!”
***
I walked into the lounge of the dorm, thankfully the meeting was just a causal one between the members.
“Ah! Nice of you to show up” Jin laughed.
“I’m sorry” I announced.
“Where were you so early in the morning? Or did you even come home last night” Hoseok asked.
“Well.. no. I.. um.. went over to Y/N’s last night.” Eyebrows were raised in response. “And we ended up falling asleep on the couch.”
Their response was expected, loud and obnoxious, teasing their younger brother about what they thought had happened.
“Does that mean you two are a thing now?” Jungkook asked, grinning. I nodded shyly, unable to hide my smile.
“Aaaaand..” Jin beamed.
“We just stayed up late talking and ended up falling asleep?” I said blankly.
“So you didn’t-“
“No, hyung we didn’t” I replied. “Not that I would tell you if we did” I smirked.
“Hey! I thought we were like brothers” Jin laughed, only to be shoved away by Namjoon.
“We’re all really happy for you, Taehyung” Jimin beamed.
My heart fluttered, thinking of the previous night. “I’m really happy. She understands me” I ruffled the back of my unbrushed hair awkwardly. “I’ve never had such a connection with someone, aside from you guys.”
“As beautiful as all this is, we’ve got a heap of work to do, so can we..” Yoongi whined, gesturing to the table full of notes, earning agreement from the rest of the members.
But as I sat down next to him, Yoongi nudged me in the side, a half smile spread across his face as he nodded at me happily.
