Minali's POV

I can't remember anything except the bliss my boyfriend has shown me for the past hour.

We initially were supposed to go dancing later, but Hoseok changed our plans after the dance club was booked out. Instead, Hoseok set up the most adorable date upstairs in his bedroom and on the balcony for us.

After the hot make out session we had in his living room, and the surprise orgasm he gave me (he made me cry - but not from my eyes), I simply had to use his bathroom to freshen up. Letting me go first, he laid a whole lot of clothing out on his bed for me to choose from, even offering me to borrow a new Jockey of his... He really knew what I needed and when I needed it.

I love him.

He is the one I want to spend the rest of my life with.

His bathroom was so clean and tidy (for a guy...) and his soap smelled so good! Everything one would need to either wash up or bath was neatly arranged along the basin and shower area. His towels were rolled and neatly stacked on a shelf beside the door. The whole place had a zen feel, I almost didn't want to leave his bathroom! Almost...

"Haaaaaaaa... This feels so good." I sighed, standing under the hot water, scrubbing at myself.

"Minali? Baby are you alright in there?" Hoseok asked, knocking at the door.

He seemed a little concerned about me after he magically played me like a flute into a musical oblivion. I assure him that I was alright, but if anything, he's suddenly become more cautious around me. It's refreshing to have someone so considerate for my wellbeing. But I still can't understand what's brought in this caring behaviour.

"Yes, I'm just enjoying the feel of the water on my back. I'll be out in a minute." I called out to him.

"If you need me to, I can wash your hair for you." He offered, though I was surprised at how genuine he was. There wasn't a hint of flirting in his tone!

"Hoseok, I'm okay. I don't need to wash my hair today." I called back to him as I turned off the faucet. My voice became louder as it echoed off the walls.

"Oh- yeah... You had it cut today." He muttered embarrassedly.

He's such a sweet boyfriend.

I dried myself at the speed of light and changed into the clothing he lent me.

"You're such a sweetheart! Come here you!" I walked up to him where he sat on the of his bed, biting his fingers anxiously. "You're so sweet! Thank you for being so caring." I say to him, wrapping my arms around his shoulders.

Hoseok silently hugged my waist, resting his head against my tummy.

"I love you Minali. I want to marry you." He whispered to me.

My heart melted. Hoseok is the rainbow after the storm in my life.

"I love you too Hosoek." He looked up at me. Then, he stood up and kissed my lips sweetly. His lips brushed over mine softly caressing them, a new story being told.

The kiss was delicate, Hoseok took his time pouring all of his hidden emotions into our kiss. The gentle nip on my bottom lip, the sweet back and forth of his tongue against mine, it all spoke of his genuine feelings he's been holding back.

I in turn eagerly kissed my boyfriend back, not only matching his pace; but also sharing my emotions. Love is a fifty-fifty partnership. And we're in this together, since the day we met and decided to date.

It's only been a week.

But it feels like we've known each other for eons. I know what he's thinking when he doesn't say it. And I know when he needs to be held. I know what he needs. He is perfectly moulded to me and I fit him when we hug - it's perfect. It's like we were born as two halves of one whole.

Everything feels like a daydream.

"I- I have a surprise for you. I'll give it to you later on, okay?" He whispered into my hair, caressing it.

"After that first one earlier... Wow... I'm curious about this one..." I grinned at him.

"Er... Th- that was me caving in to how gorgeous you are." He said, he pecked my lips, some of his usual flirtiness returning. Although, his ears were crimson.

"Are you hungry?" He asked me a heartbeat later. Not waiting for my response, he grabbed hold of my hand and led me into his massive kitchen.

"Wow!" I exclaimed the minute I set foot into the kitchen. Everything was state-of-the-art and brand new!

"Uhm, do you even use anything in here?" I asked, an eyebrow cocked at my boyfriend, the dark horse.

"Sometimes... If I'm on leave." He shrugged casually. "I usually just make pancakes or muffins. I've never really learned to make anything else." He shrugged again, a sad look in his eyes.

"Compared to Jimin oppa, that's two more things than he can make." I shrugged, mirroring his nonchalant behaviour, but so holding back my laughter and failing.

Hoseok chuckled a long too, it was a deep sexy kind of laugh. Which wasn't very good for me, because I'm wet again! I clenched my thighs together, taking a deep breath in and braced myself for the tease that was my boyfriend.

"I think that was the best stir-fried chicken I've ever had!" I exclaimed, kissing his cheek.

Hoseok insisted on cooking for me - which was really amazing to watch. Initially, I thought that he'd offered and would probably be winging it, seeing as my own cousin, Jimin, lives off take out or those on-the-go ramen prepacks every other day! I wasn't familiar with the concept of a man being able to fend for himself. Except for my father. He was a pretty decent cook, much like Hoseok.

"I'm glad you enjoyed it. Like I said, I have a surprise for you." He said and reached over the table to kiss my lips.

He just keep rolling out the surprises! It all felt like a daydream!

"I- er... What are we doing next?" I asked, giving in to his shower of affection.

"Well, I'm going to shower, so you can relax in my room for now if you'd like?" Hoseok took hold of my hand, playing with my fingers from across the table.

"Hmmm... Alright. And after that?" I smiled at him, resting my chin in my other hand.

"Then I'll reveal the next surprise I have for you, Minali." He placed a kiss on my knuckles.

Despite all of Hoseok's efforts to stop me from helping him clean up the kitchen, I cleared away the dishes and placed the remaining food in the refrigerator. After he washed the dishes, I decided to take him up on the nap he suggested...

I didn't notice him slip under the covers next to me after he showered. Nor did I realise that I'd snuggled up to him and drooled on his shirt!

An hour and a half later, I woke up to an amused boyfried, watching me as I slept.

"You're cute when you talk in your sleep." He said by way of greeting. "Also, can I ask you not to peek as I change my shirt?" He winked at me, then got off his bed to slip on a red golf shirt.

I hid my face in my palms, but peeked at him through my fingers anyway. "Damn... I'd eat you up." I exclaimed, unashamedly. I'd dropped all pretense now and stared at his bare chest, drooling all over again.

Hosoek pulled the shirt over his head and stalked forwards, slow and purposefully.

"You're a naughty one, aren't you?" He whispered, into my ear, then captured my mouth in his.

Hosoek's POV

I watched her sleep for the last ten minutes. Despite all that she's been through, Minali slept so peacefully. There was this serenity to her face that I realised might have been because she felt safe with me.

It made me feel useful and wanted for a change. Minali was the first woman to run towards me, instead of away.

She looked so beautiful, her lashes were unrealistically long and brushed across her cheeks as she blinked in her sleep. I got back from outside, having set up for our actual date after my shower, to find her curled up like a little kitten in my bed. It was a huge turn on but at the same time, it was adorable to watch her.

'There is so much I want to do for her. And even more that I want to experience with her.' I think to myself as I watched her.

"Come on now babe, I have a surprise I've been waiting all morning to show you." I take her by the hand, waiting for her to slip her petite feet into my slippers. Then, I gently guided her to the balcony just outside the living room.

"Close your eyes Minali." I whispered in her ear just before I could pull back the curtain and the sliding door.

"Okay." She smiled, closing her eyes, looking beautiful even while wearing my clothes.

I slide the glass door opener and grasped her hands firmly, leading her onto the balcony. Since it was now lunchtime, I decided to do something different with my girlfriend on our first date.

"A picnic on the balcony! Wow, Hoseok! I love it!" Minali breathed, impressed by the layout.

I felt myself blush, knowing just how much thought and planning had gone into making this perfect for her. After the club informed Jungkook and I that their tables and booths were fully booked, I looked up some intimate first date ideas that were covid friendly.

The one that stood out for me was 'a picnic in your back yard'. Seeing as I lived in an apartment building and did not want the rest of the building watching me romance my first girlfriend, I opted for the balcony instead.

"I'm glad you like it princess. Because this is just the first part." I say to her, placing a kiss on her forehead.

🎀 🎀 🎀

Minali and I were relaxing on the blanket, against the cushions I had laid out for the afternoon picnic. We just finished having lunch, which was a simple homemade chicken pizza and ginger beer. Minali opted for the pizza, and decided that we should have the rest of the food later, when we get hungry again.

I had a selection of boardgames and movies on my laptop for us to choose from. Fairy lights hung across the awning of the balcony, which I'd added for my next surprise in the evening.

Mina, as I've started calling her, suggested we play a few rounds of eye-spy (I've come to realise that it's an amazing way to learn more about your partner!) and we talked about the games we played in our childhood.

My girlfriend knows just what she wants, and I like that she does.

Two hours later, once we'd snacked on some delicious homemade paninis and fruit juice, I leaned back onto a large, pink, velvet cushion, one of the many I had lined up against the balcony wall. Minali had successfully beat my ass at Chess for the second time while we were casually snacking. She now lay serenly in my arms as we were digesting our lunch and discussing what we'll do for our next date.

'I guess the Queen really is the strongest piece in the game.' I mused to myself.

"I would really like to do this again Hosoek. I enjoy spending time with you. And it's amazing here." She exclaimed, looking up into my eyes from where she rested in my shoulder.

"Hmm... Okay. Perhaps, we can also have a formal dinner in the dining room sometime?" I suggested, hoping she'd like that idea as well.

"Ooh, yes! I'd like that very much. We can also try these things at my house. I have a large backyard where we could even try camping!" She exclaimed sitting upright once more, clasping her hands in front of her excitedly.

"I like these ideas. Let's do them all!" I said, nuzzling her nose. Then, I gazed into her hazel coloured eyes, hoping to convey my emotions and my intentions with her more sincerely. I had to ask her now.

"Will you marry me, Minali?"

A/n: I decided to show you more of his side, since Hoseok's character in the book has been rather mysterious thus far.

This is for all those with a J-Hope bias!
