31st December 2021-1st January 2022

"Wa na nana," Chaeyoung hummed TXT's 'Way Home' as she sat silently at the bay window of the Blackpink dorm. Half an hour ago Jungkook had texted her to be ready, he would pick her up.

They have been doing these meet-ups for the past few months. Yes, they were meet-ups only and not dates, both of them have confirmed that to whoever had asked them. Anyways, for the last few months, they have been going to various places, just the two of them, to spend some time together.

They have made various memories throughout, and what started as a friendly meet-up has turned into something more by the end of three months.

Of course, in between BTS had their LA concert which Blackpink would have joined but due to Lisa getting COVID they couldn't. Then BTS went on a break and Jungkook went to Busan and Chaeyoung went to Austrailia. So, they didn't meet up for the last one and a half weeks.

Now it was the thirty-first of December, New Year Eve when Jungkook said Chaeyoung to 'meet-up' again. Chaeyoung got pretty excited as soon as his call came, yes, people are excited to meet their friends, aren't they?

So for her friend, Chaeyoung dressed up in a red sleeveless dress, A-lined and polka-dotted. To be honest, Chaeyoung called them 'frocks for adults' until Lisa corrected her saying they are A-line dresses and calling her from 'Stone Age'. Anyways, she dressed up, left her blonde-dyed hair open, applied a light amount of make-up, and wore a maroon long coat to complete her look. Then she took out the long maroon boots she had been longing to wear and was now sitting and waiting for Jungkook.

His heart was beating fast, as Jungkook sped through the road towards Blackpink's dorm in his car. Of course, his heart was beating fast because he ran to get in his car. Not because he was meeting Chaeyoung after a long time, of course not.

He rounded around the corner of their dorm and got up and rang the bell. He arranged his messed up fluff hair a bit and fixed his leather jacket and the white shirt and jeans he was wearing.

Chaeyoung opened the door and hurriedly got out as they smiled and hugged each other. The hug continued for a good fifteen seconds before she slightly coughed and they broke from each other's embrace. "Where are we going?" she asked and he answered, "You'll see."

He clasped her hand tightly as their fingers kneaded within each other and got into the car. The clock struck nine, as Jungkook started the car and Chaeyoung sat beside him.

The city lights were burning brightly, the fairy lights decorated on the road made beautiful patterns as the car sped through it. The restaurants were full of people but that didn't bother them as they comfortably sat in the car. Jungkook's eyes were on the road and his hand occasionally shifted behind the gear to check if Chaeyoung's hand was there. After multiple tries, Chaeyoung finally put her hand and Jungkook softly held her hand.

Chae still looked out the window, the night looked so beautiful and suddenly she felt long fingers holding her hand. Her heart started to beat faster than ever but she did not tear her view from the window.

Soon they reached Hwaseong Fortress as both of them got down. The dark place made a stark contrast to the bright, city lights but they loved it. It was quiet, intimate and romantic, away from the chaos of the outside world.

"Wow, it is so peaceful and pretty," Chaeyoung whispered as she swung her hands with Jungkook who just giggled in response. The white snow everywhere made the place aesthetically beautiful.

Jungkook took out his phone and turned on 'Run Away' by TXT and gave her one piece of the earbud. The song flowed through their ears and that was matching whatever they were feeling right now. Youthfulness, happiness, love, the fact that they want to run away from this outside world to a utopia.

Chaeyoung grinned and grasped his hand as the chorus came and they ran like little children in the snow laughing loudly. Then they laid down on the snow laughing loudly as their figures made two human figurines on the snow. "My back is cold," Jungkook complained but made no attempts to get up. Chaeyoung rolled on her side laughing as Jungkook joined her too.

"Get up, I am cold," Jungkook whined as they both got up constantly giggling. The watch showed it was ten-thirty at night.

After having the dinner they had packed and cleaning up, they stood in a high place to see the fireworks that will start in a while. As soon as the clock struck eleven-fifty the fireworks started having a countdown. Both of them stood silently as Jungkook's hand encircled Chaeyoung's waist.

And when it was just ten seconds to midnight, Chaeyoung turned to Jungkook and asked, "Jeon, you are pretty annoying, but you make me feel things I never did before, not even when I was in ninth grade, these three months were hell with you, but I love hell more than heaven, so will you be my boyfriend?"

Yes, Chaeyoung had mastered the courage of asking a boy out, which she was always insecure of. The clock struck twelve as Jungkook broke out in a smile, the relief of being accepted, as he whispered, "Yes." And they hugged as the fireworks lightened up the background.

It was late as Jungkook pulled up his car in front of his apartment. The song from the radio danced around softly and Jungkook dimmed out the headlights. He leaned on the leather seat of the driver and cocked his head to look towards Chaeyoung and smiled softly.

"Well I guess now you are my boyfriend officially," Chaeyoung whispered, a faint shade of red tinting her cheeks as Jungkook's cheeks were burning too.

He looked beautiful in the dim-lit vehicle and the moonlight slipping through the windows made his silhouette appear all more attractive. Chae bit her lips unsure of what to say and her heart was not taking it well, the way he was staring at her.

Jungkook leaned in cautiously searching for the consent in her eyes as Chaeyoung propped up from her seat her eyes giving away the desperate need of tasting his lips. Leaning his upper body, his breath fanned her skin and Chae closed her eyes in anticipation of what would happen next.

Sweeping back a couple of loose blonde hair Jungkook pressed his lips into a gentle warm kiss on Chaeyoung's. But even before she could process anything he was pulling away. She tugged him closer by the back of his neck as she kissed him back.

They both smiled against each other's mouth, giving in to each other, his thumb stroking circles at the junction between her neck and her jawline. It was just near perfect- two people in a budding romance, cherishing each other in their safe metal bubble.
