Valentine

Is this wise? I look up. Balloons of pink, white and red crowds the ceiling. Then I look down. Being of that childish nature, I couldn't help but giggle. I wore my best jeans which gave me an illusionary 1 more centimeter in height. My special checkered shirt that I wore on our first date. The more important point is because it will forever be wrinkle free. Same can't be said about my face but what can I do? Fundamentals will always remain. Just like my blinding whiteness. Although, I must say being barefoot to finish the look, is not really my choice. However, we would never wear shoes in the apartment. That will be rude. Wriggling my toes, I scanned the room only simply lit up by the strategically placed rose scent candles. 

A soft beep. Quickly, I took my phone out of my pocket. An audio note. I gulped in fear. It was a pure reflex reaction. An exhale to let go of the nerves. 

'YAH!' Upon the first word, I nearly dropped my brand new phone. 'KIM TAEYEON! IF you do NOT reply ME by the time I reach home which is in FIVE MINUTES, you are SERIOUSLY not getting ANY joy of valentine's.' A slight jolt passes through me. And she wonders why I never do any surprise events. Sigh. My woman needs to make up her mind.

As I was pondering about which path I should take, I heard her footsteps settling itself at the door. I don't know why but I dashed out of the door. Slammed the door shut and stare at her shocked eyes. 'Hi.' I managed to croaked out. The shock waves died down as fast as it came, easily replaced by the look of pre- tsunami outburst. Before it could fully be unleashed, I took her hand. Guiding her further away from the room I had decorated. My mind blank. My body a vessal for my heart's command. 

Well this is going to plan...we ended up in the car. Stepping on the pedals of her BMW with my purple loafers, her sitting quietly at the passenger seat. Her sitting silently? I stole a glance at her. What is going on? Wait. Where am I going? I browse around for the nearest helpful sign. Heck. My limbs has made me drive to the most cliche location. I turn off the engine while we are viewing the Han River.

'I would ask you what you are doing but I am too lazy.' She simply states as her head leans comfortably on my shoulder. 'Are you going to fall asleep?' I asked as she rubs her tired eyes. 'Maybe.' she replies crisply. In silence, we both faced forward looking at the night beauty. Only connected by her head on my shoulder, we stayed in that position. 

'Erm...' Why am I bringing blizzard upon myself? Yet my mouth continued, 'you asleep?' I questioned softly. Although she barely even fidgeted an inch, I noticed that her breathing rythem had changed. This shows something... ...either we are disgustingly connected to each other or I'm way too obsessed with her. Let me put myself in a better light. I'm totally smitten with one lady. 

'She is beautiful. She is really one of a kind. She is beyond my grasp yet here she is...wow...' I let out a breath of amazement at this picture which is reality. 'Sica.' I paused for a moment, calling her out name gently. She still didn't stir. 'Sica. I need you awake now.' I don't know what came over me but I do recall myself actually commanding the princess out of her kingdom. 

She finally moved. Sitting up straight, her eyes looked directly at mine. 'I love you.' I said. Those three words lingers. The water move as per the Han river streams. Lights of the city beaming across the river and around us. Even if I didn't do up these spectacles, even if it is cliche, it is still a majestic sight. She her lower lip. Then, slowly, the corners of shifts upwards, a small smirk.

I blink twice in confusion. 'Eh?' I couldn't help but express out my puzzled feelings as the smirk remains and nothing was being said. 'I know.' The smirk deepens. Her charisma and pride at having me was proudly shown through the vibes that she exsude. Somehow, I could see her coming towards me frame by frame.  I couldn't help but smile with excitement of anticipation. 

Our lips met. Feelings exchanges with physical contact. When limitations of nature came in, we broke apart. 'My lovely valentine. You have truly redeem yourself.' She spoke as her grin made me slightly blush. Afterwards, we held a conversation like how we normally did when we met in the night. She spoke clearly, at times candidly, about her day's happenings. I listened attentively as her being infront of me talking is a form of bliss. 

When we drove back, she casually opens the apartment's door. I happily watch her as my mind had erased my earlier efforts. Upon revealation, we both stood there dumbfounded. Thus, I concluded one thing. I am an idiot. 'KIM TAEYEON!' Yup I'm an idiot. In an instant, I jumped to catch the balloon. They were so easy to float up into the ceiling. 

'I'm clearing it up!' I proclaimed. Come on balloon. Float downwards! I could feel her eyes scrutinize me as my jumps are failing me. This is so not what I had in mind.
