When Lily opened the front door, Wooyoung felt his heart stop for a second. She was breathtaking. He loved the way she had braided her hair and let it fall over her shoulder. He loved the way her dress hugged her just above her waist. He loved the way her eyes sparkled when she saw him standing there in black pants and a white dress shirt.

"Wow." He breathed as she walked up to him.

"Hi." She said, shyly.

Wooyoung couldn't find the words to respond. Her light makeup made her skin glow and accented her beautiful, hazel eyes perfectly. He got lost in them for a second. Her joy made the green stand out more, and he swore he saw flecks of gold too.

"Hi," he finally said. "Are you ready?" He took her hand.

"Yes."

They walked to his car. He opened the door for her and made sure her dress was inside before closing it. When he got into his seat, she asked, "Where are we going?"

"It's a surprise." He smirked at her slight pout.

Their first stop was a nice, fondue restaurant. He had requested a private table, so they were cut off from the rest of the place by a thick curtain.

"This place is amazing," Lily said. It was quiet, and romantic.

Wooyoung took her hand under the table and smiled.

They chatted comfortably, mostly about how the group started and the performances they had done.

Lily loved how excited he got when he started talking about creating the choreography with Yunho. He even showed her some of the hand movements they were working on.

When the fondue was served, they happily fed each other, commenting on how good everything tasted.

After dinner, which lasted almost two hours, they went to a nearby park. The stars twinkled in the sky above their heads and the moon reflected on the surface of the lake next to them.

They walked, hand-in-hand, until Wooyoung pulled her to a bench and they sat down. He reached into his pocket and pulled out a small box. "This is for you." He said, placing it in her lap.

"Wooyoung..." She said, picking it up tenderly. Her hands shook as she untied the ribbon around it.

When she lifted the lid, she let out a small gasp.

Three small charms rested on a small cotton pillow.

A silver heart with angel wings on it. "Flip that one over." When she did, the back side said 'Always in my heart'. "That one is for Micah." He said, wrapping an arm around her and stroking her shoulder.

A gold '8'. "That one is for all of us, so you think of the new friends you made."

A rose-gold 'W'. No explanation was needed for that one.

Lily's hands shook as she picked up each one in turn. Then she felt Wooyoung reach for her wrist. He slipped her bracelet off, undid the clasp, and picked up the angel wing bead. He slipped it onto the bracelet, using such precise and slow movements one might think he was performing a surgery. He slipped the other two charms on in the same fashion, closed the bracelet, and returned it to her wrist, letting his fingers stroke the cold metal.

A chill ran up her arm at the touch, but it was the kind that made her crave more. There was something about his touch that always let her know she was safe with him.

Then his finger was under her chin, lifting her head so he could kiss her. He could taste the salt from her silent tears and let his tongue roll over her lips, pressing gently to ask for permission.

She obliged. Her lips parted and his tongue started to play with hers, deepening their kiss.

Wooyoung felt an ache enter his stomach. He had to remind himself not to go to fast, waiting for her cues. But damn, he wanted more.

Lily also started to feel something in the pit of her stomach. It scared her a little, never having experienced it before, but she knew she was safe with Wooyoung, so she leaned into him a little more, placing her hand on the back of his neck.

He let out a soft moan at the contact before wrapping an arm around her waist and pulling her on top of his lap so she was straddling him. He immediately let go and brought his hands to her cheeks, letting his thumbs move back and forth.

Lily felt herself blush at the intimate touch. Her thoughts were fuzzy. Her body was telling her to run away, yet she felt her arms come up to wrap around his neck.

He pulled his hands a way from her face and slowly ran them down her back, starting from her shoulders. She shivered, making him pause, but when she didn't break the kiss, he continued.

Wooyoung wanted to memorize every part of her, every curve, every movement. When his hands reached her waist, he stopped, squeezing her slightly.

She didn't understand why, but that slight pressure caused her to rock her hips.

Both of them gasped at the same time, pulling away.

Wooyoung brought one of his hands up to cover his mouth, shaking his head. "Oh, Lily, I'm so sorry. I couldn't help it. I just..." He got really flustered as he waited for her to push him away.

Instead, she reached a hand up and ran it through his hair. "It's... Ok." She said, hesitantly, not really trusting her own words. She closed her eyes, trying to figure out what she wanted. The action felt like everything she hated, and yet... Because it was with Wooyoung...

He sat there in silence, watching as her face twisted, matching the thoughts flying through her head.

"Wooyoung?" She whispered, opening her eyes again. "Will you... Will you show me what love feels like?"

---

When they got back to the house, everyone was in the studio. They could hear laughter and music pounding.

Perfect. Wooyoung thought to himself. He hadn't thought to warn them to stay away tonight because he didn't think anything like this would happen. But it was.

The couple ran up the stairs to her room and locked the door behind them.

Lily stared at the bed; her body started trembling. What if I can't do this...

Then she felt him behind her. His arms snaked around her stomach and he pressed his nose into the back of her head. "When you want me to stop, just say it, and I will." He whispered into her ear.

He could feel her shaking. Slowly, he tilted his head and started placing soft kisses against her neck, barely letting his lips touch her skin. When she didn't back away, he let the contact grow as he pushed the sleeve of her dress aside and kissed her shoulder.

Lily's head tilted back as his lips ghosted over her skin. She could feel the goosebumps coming again, but she didn't care.

Wooyoung brought his hands up and let his fingers dance over her arms. He heard her sigh deeply and grinned into his next kiss.

Daring to take it one step further, he started, ever so slowly, pulling down the zipper of her dress.

A shiver ran down her spine again and she almost told him to stop before reminding herself he had already seen her naked.

He placed his hands on her shoulders and moved the fabric away from her neck, pushing it until it had nothing to cling on to, letting it fall to her feet.

He continued to placed kisses along her shoulder, the base of her neck, the curved upper part of her spine. That one made her gasp and she clenched her fists.

Wooyoung kissed every scar within his reach as he stood there, desperate to erase the pain that had come from them. His fingers continued to caress her arms.

Suddenly, his contact was gone. Lily made to turn around, but he cut her off with a quick, "Don't."

She stood there, the anticipation making her antsy.

Then his hands gently pulled on her waist, guiding her into his now bare chest. She tensed at being in contact with skin, and he waited patiently for her to relax before nibbling on her ear. She let out a small giggle, feeling sensitive there. He hummed and continued doing it, trapping her in his arms so she couldn't get away.

"A-ah, Wooy-young, stop it!" She laughed, trying to cover her ears with her hands.

In a split second, he lifted her off the ground and placed her on the bed before positioning himself over her. He supported himself on his arms, not letting himself touch her.

She stared up at him, fighting back the fear that wanted to creep in and ruin this moment.

He smiled and leaned forward to kiss her once, then let his lips and tongue trail down her jaw, neck, shoulders.

He stopped when he got to her bra and hesitated. Lily bit her lip, closed her eyes, then nodded once.

Wooyoung shifted so he was kneeling next to her, freeing his hands. He wrapped his arms around her to unclasp the bra and dragged his hands over her skin, guiding the straps down her arms to shed the article of clothing from her.

Lily felt the urge to cover herself, feeling shy.

"You're so beautiful." She heard him gasp. She opened her eyes and found him gazing at her, running his eyes up and down her body. There was no hunger in them like she was used to. No anger, no lust. Instead, all she found, was love.

She reached out and grabbed his shoulder, pulling her to him so she could kiss him. She felt a heat form between her legs and shifted, trying to get it to go away. But she craved his touch. He tasted so good as their tongues danced, deepening the kiss.

Wooyoung let his left hand graze her chin, then dragged his fingers down her neck and chest, before letting them pass over her left nipple once.

She gasped into his mouth, eyes opening wide.

He let his fingers brush over her other nipple, and this time she moaned ever so slightly, arching her back.

Lily couldn't explain it, but what he did felt... good. Never had a touch to her breasts made her feel good. The heat between her legs got stronger as he started to play with her breasts, squeezing them slowly.

Still kissing her, he adjusted so he could use his other hand, tracing her side. He could feel her legs fidgeting next to him, but he knew he had to be patient. She was trusting him to do this right, he couldn't lose control and listen to the thing begging to be set free from his pants.

As he started tweaking her sensitive nubs, she started whimpering into his mouth, but it must have been a good whimper, because one of her hands moved to the back of his neck while the other clutched the covers.

Leaving one hand to continue stroking her nipples, he let the other dance over her stomach, and finally down to where her body begged for contact.

She could feel what he was doing, and her body tensed naturally, but this time was shorter than the others. She was learning to fight the reflex. The heat was almost unbearable, and when he pressed his fingers to it, she arched her back, pressing against his hand even more.

Wooyoung moaned into her mouth, rubbing his hand back and forth above her underwear. He loved the way she felt against him when she arched her back like that. He couldn't wait to make her do it more.

Finally breaking the kiss, he continued his need to kiss every scar he could find. She was panting, her head pressed against her pillow. He never stopped rubbing between her legs.

When she felt like she couldn't take it anymore, he stopped. She blinked a couple times, then saw him start pulling her underwear off, tossing them over the side of the bed.

He gasped again and looked at her, "Gorgeous." He kissed her stomach and her sides before he shifted so he could kiss her legs.

As his touch got closer and closer to her thighs, she gripped the comforter with both hands.

Wooyoung watched her face as he slowly started spreading her legs, waiting for her to tell him to stop. When she didn't, he started caressing her inner thighs, leaning in to place kisses on her left one, but avoiding the right side, not wanting to trigger her.

He could smell her arousal and bit back the lust threatening to break free. He lifted his head to look at her face again as he let his fingers graze against her opening.

She exhaled sharply, arching her back again. "Oh god."

He repeated the motion a couple more times before he slowly let one finger enter her.

Lily couldn't help but whimper. The memories of the last person to touch her there surfacing for a split second.

Wooyoung watched her shake her head a couple times, but she never said the word stop. Instead she seemed to push herself into him, asking for more.

He wished he could help her more with the mental battle she was having, it pained him to see her face twist as she fought herself.

No. You are helping. He reminded himself, then let another finger slip in before moving his hand back and forth.

The feeling of elation that rushed through her was amazing. She had never felt anything like this before and she wanted more.

When her breathing started to get faster, Wooyoung took that as a sign to use one more finger, then used his thumb to run circles over her clit.

"Ah!" She gasped, spasming involuntarily. She felt something building inside her and she started moving her hips, wanting it to come.

She whined when Wooyoung pulled away, leaving her feeling empty. "No..." She gasped, looking for him.

He was standing next to her. He leaned forward and kissed her again. When he stopped, he whispered, "May I?"

Lily bit her lip once, causing his stomach to flip, then nodded quickly.

Wooyoung exhaled and quickly shed his pants after pulling a condom out of his pocket. I'm glad I ended up grabbing this. He thought, although he never thought he'd actually get to use it.

He paused when he saw Lily staring at him, standing there naked, his erection clearly visible. He saw fear for a moment before she closed her eyes, fighting internally again.

Taking that as a sign, he rolled the condom on and positioned himself between her legs.

She was shaking, and he didn't know if it was out of fear or anticipation.

He used his fingers to sweep up some of her juices to use as a lube, then let his head rest against her opening, pausing for a second.

Then he slowly pushed himself inside.

Lily moaned out his name as he started to fill her. He was so slow, so gentle. She could feel how timid he was every second he pushed into her.

Her hips raised to help him a little, and soon he bottomed out.

"Fuck," he said, letting his head fall back. Nothing had ever been more perfect than this moment right here. Not meeting his friends, not being a member of Ateez, nothing. He was one with the girl who had stolen his heart.

The two made eye contact, and he had to fight to keep tears from forming when he saw the look she gave him.

A single nod.

Wooyoung pulled back, then thrusted a little faster. He continued, gripping her waist, getting faster each time until he found a comfortable rhythm.

Lily couldn't believe what she was feeling right now. She couldn't even really tell who she was anymore. All she knew and felt was Wooyoung. Her head tilted back as he picked up speed. Her hips rocked, matching the pace he set.

Suddenly, she found herself saying, "Faster, Wooyoung."

He didn't need to be told twice.

As the thrusts quicken, he found himself grunting a little, hoping she couldn't hear it over her moans. They were starting to get louder as her pleasure built.

He could feel her walls tightening around him.

Lily let herself go. As she had thought many times tonight, she had never felt anything like this. Especially this. It was pure bliss. The sensation built and she brought her hands up, searching for Wooyoung.

He adjusted, leaning forward to place his hands on either side of her head so she could grab his shoulders. He winced slightly as her fingers dug into him, leaving long, red scratch marks.

As she started squeezing his member tighter, he leaned forward and whispered, "Fly for me," before kissing her.

Three more thrusts was all it took to send her over the edge. She let out a deep, almost animal sounding moan into his mouth.

Wooyoung kept going, helping her ride out her orgasm and seeking his own. When it finally came, he stopped, filling the condom with his seed.

He didn't stop kissing her as he felt her twitching underneath him. His body pressed into hers, their feet tangled on top of the bed.

Finally, they had to break apart to breathe, their hearts still pounding. But he didn't stop looking at her. He caressed the side of her face, falling harder for her as he took in her satisfied look. "I love you."

"I love you too, Wooyoung."
