THE BRIGHT SUN FILTERED THROUGH THE DRAPES, causing the Cuban-Korean's eyes to flutter as she slowly awoke from her slumber. She then yanked her hand from beneath her covers, gripped her head, which was throbbing with pain as she tried to recall the events of the previous night. As Alyssa gradually opened her eyes, she noticed a variety of clothing articles strewn across her bedroom floor. The recollection of last night's memories wafted through her mind as she felt a pair of hands tightly grip her waist.

She began to remember Taehyung's hands softly resting on her hips as they swayed to the gentle music that played on her speaker. She remembered the exquisite feeling of Taehyung's lips on hers. She remembered the sensation of their bodies clashing as they passionately kissed each other, cursing the air for forcing them to pause each time they needed to catch their breath. She remembered her hands being tangled in his messy mop of curls, and trying her best not to make noises because their neighbors were sleeping, while he softly trailed a path of kisses down her neck. She remembered her shaking hands undoing the buttons on his shirt as quickly as she could while his hands moved across to hers, so he could do the same to her as soon as she was finished. She remembered him mumbling something along the lines of 'you're so beautiful, my love,' and 'how the fuck did I get so lucky?' as he carefully lifted her shirt, awestruck as he saw her naked body for the first time.

She remembered it all.

The night before, Taehyung and Alyssa had slept together for the first time---intimately, that is. The pair had spent New Year's Eve together, like they always did, over a bowl of spaghetti and a bottle of wine while watching a movie marathon. They had been binge-watching reruns of the Harry Potter series that night. In their intoxicated state, they quickly found themselves dancing to the random songs that popped up on Alyssa's shuffle and played on her speaker. When the clock struck twelve, however, they somehow winded up on the couch sharing a new year's kiss, their hands interlaced as the flavor of the alcohol they had been drinking lingered on their lips. One thing led to another, and Taehyung and Alyssa ended up in her bedroom, falling over everything in sight in their haste to get to her bed as soon as possible.

Alyssa recalled him being quite gentle with her as she was a virgin at that point in time. He moved slowly, being careful not to hurt her, but also trying to move quickly enough for her to enjoy the entire experience. Throughout the night, Taehyung kept asking her whether she was sure she wanted to keep going, reminding her that if she felt uncomfortable at any moment, they could have stopped and done something else instead, such as watch a movie. It warmed Alyssa's heart that he still asked for her consent even though he had been heavily intoxicated, just like her. This move touched her, but it didn't surprise her because it was normal of him to seek for her permission before doing anything to her. I mean, he even asked for permission to kiss her for the first week after they started dating, so are we really surprised?

Alyssa jolted awake from her reverie and attempted to break away from Taehyung's grip without waking him up. She slowly withdrew his hand away from her waist, then gently turned her body around to face his sleeping figure. She then took a moment to study his facial features, raising her hand to rake it through his mop of black curls as she gazed at him, admiring his sleeping form.

The sun shone brightly on his face, enhancing his already divine features and giving him the appearance of a God. Moments like these were her favourites, because they allowed her to view Taehyung's face structures without makeup and in natural light. Don't get me wrong, Alyssa thought he looked great with and without makeup, but there was just something about Taehyung without makeup that struck a chord with her.

Alyssa lay there, thinking about how fortunate she was to have such a wonderful man in her life. Taehyung was amazing; he treated her so well and prioritized her physical and emotional well-being, and she couldn't express her gratitude enough. Even though they had only been dating for a little over two years, Alyssa had transformed into a lovesick teenager when it came to him; her cheeks still turned a vivid crimson red whenever someone uttered his name, and his touch was enough to make her entire body light up.

Yes, she was that whipped for him.

Taehyung's figure slowly stirred, his eyes slowly opening to see Alyssa staring at him with a glint of admiration in her cat eyes. "Lyss, take a picture; it'll last longer." He teased, a smirk on his face when he realised that she had been staring at him. His deep morning voice sent shivers cascading down her spine, jolting her out of her daydream.

"Good morning, love," Alyssa murmured, yawning at the end of her sentence. She attempted to stretch by propping herself up on the headboard, but as she lifted her head, she felt a stinging ache run through her entire body. Given the previous night's events, this pain was expected.

"Look at what you did," Alyssa said, referring to the sharp pain in her body. "I can't even sit properly." She went on, her tone lighthearted, and she let out a tiny giggle, which prompted Taehyung to laugh as well.

"Well, luckily for you, we have the day off today," he said, smiling as he stopped laughing. Because of their busy schedules, the two of them didn't have much time to spend together; twenty-nineteen had been an exceptionally demanding year for both of them, with BTS embarking on their Love Yourself World Tour and Alyssa making her English debut in America. It would be an understatement to say that they were both fatigued, but this was one of their few days off, and they were taking full advantage of it by spending quality time together.

The two of them sat in a comfortable silence for a minute or so, until Taehyung broke the silence, "But, all jokes aside, do you have any regrets about last night?" He asked, raking his hand through his hair as he gazed up at the ceiling.

Alyssa sighed as she rested her finger on his chin and gently tilted his head away from the ceiling to face her. She then reached beneath the duvet, her hand searching for his free hand, which she soon found and entangled with hers. She gave him a hard stare before replying, "No, Tae, I don't regret last night---not even a single second of it," she paused to take a deep breath, "I've already told you this multiple times last night; Tae, if there was anyone with whom I could have had my first time, it would have been you. I'd do it all over again if I could since you made my first experience perfect---basically magical, in a way."

Taehyung grinned, happy with her response. He then ran his hand through her unkempt bed hair before wrapping his arms around her waist and drawing her closer to his body.

And once more, a comfortable silence fell over them as they embraced each other.

"I'm hungry," Alyssa remarked after a few minutes, and her stomach groaned loudly as soon as those words left her mouth, as if on cue. "How do you about us getting breakfast?" Taehyung's hands were squarely on her waist as she inquired, her hand reaching down the duvet to grab her tummy.

"Why do you need breakfast when you have an entire meal sitting right next to you?" He asked her jokingly, a slight mischievous smirk on his face as he saw her eyebrows rise when she realised what he meant.

Alyssa reached for his hand from beneath the duvet, scolding him by lightly slapping it, prompting him to let out a small ouch. "I mean actual breakfast," she said, puffing up her cheeks.

"But I want to cuddle," Taehyung grumbled, releasing his hands from his waist so he could hook his legs around her waist instead, and then wrapping his hands around her stomach to prevent her from trying to get up. He was now clinging to her in the same way that a Koala would cling to a tree.

"But, Tae..." Alyssa trailed off, feeling the hunger sensations becoming increasingly strong with each passing second.

"How about we lie in bed just for ten minutes longer, and then I'll make you hotteok for breakfast as soon as we get out?" He proposed, knowing he'd made her an offer she couldn't resist.

Alyssa adored it when Taehyung made her hotteok. Of course, she could prepare it herself, but he could do it far better. And, get this, Taehyung's hotteok wasn't just any ordinary hotteok; it was a special recipe passed down through the Kim family from generation to generation, and Taehyung's mother had taught him to make them during his high-school days, and the recipe had stuck with him. He refused to tell Alyssa how to create them, arguing that doing so would be "breaking the rules."

Taehyung despised cooking and would never go near a stove, meaning that he didn't make them very often, which added to their rarity. Not to mention, Taehyung's method of making hotteok took a long time and was a lot of hard work, which is why he wasn't a fan making them, but the hard work would've been worth it in the end because you'll receive this scrumptious piece of dough coated in home-made chocolate.

Yes, preparing your own milk chocolate is a step in the recipe. This is one of the many elements that sets it apart from other hotteok.

Alyssa couldn't believe it when Taehyung offered to make her hotteok so effortlessly. After only ten minutes of cuddling? Her surprise stemmed from the fact that it typically took a lot of pleading to persuade Taehying to prepare it for her due to the amount of work involved, but this time he was making it so simple for her. This was unquestionably a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity that she couldn't pass up, exactly as he had prophesied.

"You've got yourself a deal," Alyssa smirked, accepting his offer and realizing that her hunger will be worth it in the end.

Taehyung smiled, pleased that his tactics had succeeded, before eventually unhooking his legs from her waist, freeing her from his cuddling now that he knew he had won Alyssa over.

Following that, the two of them embraced, and true to his words, after ten minutes, Taehyung did end up making Alyssa hotteok, but not without a little dragging out of bed by Alyssa. The couple then continued with their new year's celebrations, sleeping in, watching movies, and eating delicious food. It was truly a day to remember.

notes: in my opinion, consent is the hottest thing ever. asking someone for permission before you engage in any sexual activity with them is extremely important, i can not stress this enough. which is why i've bolded and underlined the one line that says that taehyung asked her for consent first!

in other news, i hoped you all enjoyed this chapter. happy holidays to you all ♡︎
