♚ — Everything was going alright until the moment the girl asked Taekwoon about his cat pose. If there were a few things he wanted people to forget about his career with VIXX, that would be definitely one of them, but it would be too much to ask, wouldn’t it? He sighed, but replied to her questions innocently — at least, until the moment she asked him to show the said cat pose that won the After School’s contest.
❝ No way.❞
Was his first response, as his eyes squinted and he almost scowled at her, but at some point in between the long arguing and insistence, she ended up winning. Holy— I’m going to regret that, he thought to himself, shaking his head very softly while looking down, and, against his will, he lowered his body, falling on his knees and, as part of the whole pose, placing hands on the ground so he could be supported by them as well. Taekwoon was closing his eyes to decrease his embarrassment when he felt a heavy weight on his back and T-ae’s voice with an animated tone.
❝ … What have I done to deserve this? ❞
The softest scoff escaped barely parted lips, folding arms across her chest with feigned solemnity: as much fun as she was having, she couldn't help but feel slightly sorry for the boy. Boredom always managed to get the best of her, and the poor soul happened to be around when she came up with a game of sorts to chase said boredom away, if even for half an hour- until schedules claimed her again. To say she had forced him to play would indeed be an understatement; he sure had a great deal of patience.
❛ Oh well, I'm told that's how bets work. You lose, you pay, so quit your whining aigo-- ❜
Seconds passed and soon she could tell by his silence that the jest had lasted long enough. Uncrossing her legs ever so calmly, she gave the other several, soft pats in the back, the amusement in her tone palpable, refusing to dissipate.
❛ I must say though... you make the best chair ever, Taekwoon-ah. Jinjja. ❜
Yet instead of standing up she slid down beside him, giving him some room to shift into a more comfortable --and hopefully not so humiliating-- position, swaying back and forth in a bit of a childish manner, in expectation. The defeated look on the boy's countenance was more than enough to keep such state of boredom at bay and oh, wasn't she grateful.
There were three places where she loved to relax whenever she wasn’t in his arms, the beach, by a tree in a park and on her balcony. Inthis case she chose the latter option since she had a busy week with balancingthe stores, modeling as well as her friends. Indeed, she was very much exhaustedso staying at home and lying on her lounge chair on her balcony was just whatshe needed to rejuvenate herself. He was attending to schedules so the twoweren’t able to talk today. Nothing was wrong with that, of course, consideringshe did like her personal space as she’s sure he did as well. Nonetheless shecouldn’t help but think of him several times a day, a habit she’d picked upfrom the time he left for a few days and she was curled up on her bed sufferingfrom deathly pains from her monthly.
Her eyes were closed under the sunglasses she wore, allowingthe rays of sun warm up her body from the chilly breeze that traveled her way everynow and then. Tofu, her dog, was curled up on her stomach, also enjoying whatthe outdoors had to offer. Subconsciously, her fingers combed through herpet’s fur continuously, albeit very slow movements. Naturally her thoughtsbegan to wander on many things, evidently leading to what he was doing. Coral lips curved into a smile at the thought, her ivory teeth visible as her lipsparted, cheeks stained a hue of pink.
❝Come on, you promised me you’ll do this.❞
❝It’s embarrassing and it doesn’t help that I can’t dance.❞
Chae Eun filled her cheeks with air, arms crossing over herchest as she rested her weight on one hip. ❝You promised me you’ll do it,Taekwoon.❞
❝Can I just sing for you instead?❞
❝No! That’s taking the easy way out!❞ She stepped closer tohim, arms wrapping around his frame while staring at him with pitiful eyes, lipjutted into a pout. ❝Please?❞
Her action made him elicit a groan from this throat,bringing his hands up to ruffle his hair as if he were having a back and forthbattle in his head on if he should oblige to her commands or not. Eventually hesuccumbed to her cute expression, leaning closer to press a soft kiss to herlips which made her grin cheekily. ❝Fine, but just this once!❞
❝Ah, of course of course. Thank you, darling.❞ With that shewalked over to the stereo, pressing the buttons in order for the system to turnon and allow her to change it to the right track.
❝Can you at least put on something better than that?❞ Hiseyes scanned over his shirt that loosely hugged her figure, trying hard not tolet his thoughts wander off to something inappropriate. “It’s reallydistracting, miss.”
❝Well you decided to go out today even though I told you itwas going to rain. Now you must suffer from your stubbornness.”
❝At least put some pants on underneath.❞ He sighed heavily,eyes closed while he lolled his head back.
❝I think not. You’ll be alright. Now—❞ Turning the volume upto an appropriate level, she returned to stand in front of him, taking his armsand wrapping them around her waist which brought her closer to him, to thepoint of little space between the two. ❝Focus, please.❞ The song began playingand she swayed her hips as she stepped forward and backwards. Dancing wasn’tsomething she excelled in but she also wasn’t terrible at it, so of course whenthe opportunity to learn ballroom dancing came about, she instantly took thechance. Also forcing Taekwoon to be her partner whenever she practiced, simplybecause she liked to see him struggle. Indeed he was for he was trying hishardest to keep up with her, only to step on her foot in the process. ❝Ow, yah!Do better!❞
❝I’m sorry! You know I’m not good at it!❞ Her boyfriend bithis lip from frustration, giving it another try but this time doing better thanthe first. Chae Eun praised him and he couldn’t help but smile even though he feltembarrassed. Raising his arm, he twirled her around her back facing him,pulling her close to him once more. They were finally in rhythm with each other,making the activity a lot easier. She turned her head in order to glance at him fromthe corner of her eye. He was smiling, enjoying every movement. This made herchuckle, swiftly being turned back around to face him. However, her breath was takenaway when he brought their bodies close together once more, then using theopportunity to press his lips to hers but this time not pulling away. He wasslow and passionate, making Chae Eun’s legs weaken minute by minute. Shechuckled as he lifted her up, wrapping her legs around his waist. ❝Can we gocuddle now?❞
His question was cute and Chae Eun couldn’t help but burstinto a small fit of laughter before nodding her head. ❝Yes we can.❞
He smiled, holding onto her as he began to make the walktowards his bedroom. ❝And you’re staying over. I’m not taking no for an answer.❞This made her whine, though a childish and playful action since deep down shereally wanted to.
Her phone suddenly went off, making her groan from frustration. Of course, it would be someone from the store asking her to address an issue. ❝I’ll be down there in about thirty minutes.❞ Tapping the end button, she let out a heavy sigh realizing that her fantasy would never become a reality since he was too stubborn at times. ❝Such a pity.❞

♚ — Welcome to Decorum! I hope you enjoy yourself with us.
[ `the all too familiar visage has her smiling, head nodding a few times as she greets him. ] Leo-ssi! Thank you very much. it's nice to see you again. I hope you've been well?
Youngji held the gift bag in her hands firmly, weaving her way through the crowd until she meets the end of the mess of busy bodies, in perfect view of the singer's arrival to the company building. He's much more svelte than she'd seen him on tv, and none of the stories her twin sister told her (about meeting them) could suffice for seeing him up close. She wastes no time in showing her gift, hoping she wouldn't be pushed by the crowd before he has the chance to see it. "Taekwoon-ssi!"
