21 FOOD & WALK

"Yes, I did" Kenma gave me his bunny smile. He had freaking booked an entire floor. "I had to, there's always a risk of being detected and I really CAN'T handle any rumors and scandals right now," He spoke with his gaze somewhere in mid-air.

"I agree" I mean obviously I wouldn't want that too.

The waitress guided us to our table, lovely provincial, spacious, and positively clean. I clasped my hands together as I walked around to sit at a chair around it.

"Wait." I removed my hand from the top of the chair, which I was about to drag. He walked across the table and stood behind me, and dragged the chair for me. I smiled, a smile which explicitly conveyed how ecstatic I felt at the moment at his gestures, and everything he's doing tonight.

"Wow, this is truly amazing. Thanks a lot" I couldn't thank him enough.

"It's nothing. Trust me." I scoffed, not in a rude but a unbelievable way, at how modest he was.

We ordered our meal and talked about ourselves to each other.

I didn't tell him much, thankfully he didn't ask something deeper than 'what's your favorite color' or 'What's your ideal type'

It was a lovely evening and just when I thought the fairytale was coming to an end, which I didn't want to.

"Come with me," Kenma told me as we exited the Restaurant. I followed him with slow steps, but fast enough to ensure I was right behind him.

We arrived at a beach. It was getting lovelier by the minute, it couldn't get any better than this. This felt so romantic, the actual reason for which I was here seemed to vanish away, and with each day passing, I just wished for this to last forever. Why can I not for once enjoy my life?

We walked on the cold sand with no one around.

His hand brushed mine. "Hey you're hands are so cold. Here hold mine " he offered me his hand and I gladly took it. He soon intertwined his fingers with mine and I blushed looking down at my feet. Why's he doing all this, and why am I enjoying it? I shouldn't, I don't deserve it.

"I could get used to this," Kenma grinned cockily and I chuckled in response.

After walking further, it came to my mind that I should probably ask this, "Is Taehyung dating someone?"

I spoke out of the blue. Those messages earlier bothered me quite a lot.

"No. As far as I know, he's not. Why do you ask?" Kenma looked at me with his doe-like eyes.

"umm...I saw some messages pop up on his phone so I read them and I'm regretful about that." he would most certainly be mad that I checked his best friend's phone. And anyways privacy should be respected.

"What did you see there that made you think he's dating?"

He completely avoided the fact that I checked TAEHYUNG's phone, wow. Okay.

"The messages said I miss you bae and the world seems so empty without you so-"

I was cut by Kenma's loud laughter. He was laughing so hard that the people going by started giving us stares.

"umm...did I say something funny?"

Literally, I mean how could he even laugh at that. I poked his shoulder, to indicate by eyeing the people that were watching us.

"K-Kageyama" He managed to say that name between his laughter.

Kageyama? What about him? He's a really famous actor, Kageyama Tobio and I really adore him but I was perplexed at this point and was something wrong with Kenma, he's laughing way too much right now. I'm worried-

"Taehyung had to meet up with him today.

Those messages were from Kageyama, and you thought-" he really couldn't stop laughing.

Ohhhhh. Those messages were from his best friend, Kageyama. Now I get it.

So I joined in too, accompanying him in his laughter.

Both of us laughed at the misunderstood situation and at how Kageyama treats Tae.

It was cute though.

I loved being with KENMA tonight. I never imagined I would get this close to him.

"Wait wait wait..."

"What?" Kenma took a deep breath in as he must be deprived of it, given the amount of cotinuous laughter he just had.

"Is taehyung....."

"Is he what?" he turned completely towards me and tilted his head.

"Ga..." I couldn't say it, but I mean it's possible.

"No way-" He resumed his moments before ended laughted and I shook my head knowing it by his response being laughter that Tae's isn't gay. I chuckled at my idiotic thoughts.

We stargazed for a few minutes, I've always loved astronomy, it's eternally gorgeous.

"It's so beautiful, right?" I gazed at the endless night sky filled with sparkling infinite stars that lit it up.

"It is" I turned my head to realize that he was looking at me. He placed his hand on my right cheek, then slowly pushed a strand of hair off my face and I simply watched him do it.

"Hikari," he sighed before letting his hand fall off my face. "I know we didn't talk much today, and being honest, I couldn't ask you much because," he paused and looked me in the eye, "you're hurt, I don't think you had a particularly enjoyable past and unless you're comfortable enough to talk about it yourself, I won't ask." he smiled and I blinked in surprise on how accurate his words were, how could he even know?

I didn't realize as he pulled me into a hug, his body was warmed as compared to mine, I gave myself into the warmth of his body and he kissed my forehead

I smiled, I giggled, I felt happy, I don't remember feeling this way for a long time.

"Thank you kenma" That's all I could manage to say, I felt too euphoric to muster a sentence longer than that.

Little did I know what was to come.
