Taemin wasn't yet a shivering mess but it wasn't really a good feeling, slightly shivering now and then either. He really should've brought the cardigan his mother offered.

They were walking in comfortable silence. Taemin crossed his arms over his chest thinking it might help reduce the coldness. He slowly started to get terrified of the fact what'd happen after a little whlie cause obviously the chilliness will increase. He carefully moved a little bit closer to Minho, being extra careful so that Minho doesn't notice. That didn't happen though. Taemin accidentally bumped into Minho and because he was being extra careful not to bump into the older, he jumped in shock. It'll be really embarrassing if his fiance find out how he was trying to get away from the chilliness by walking closer to him. He'd love it if his fiance just let go of the matter. His bad luck. The sincere Minho can't really just ignore his fiance's uncomfortable behavior, can he?

"Taemin-ah, are you alright? Anything wrong? You can tell me- you know, right?" Minho asked Taemin. Clearly concerned.

"Y-Yeah, I'm fine. No problem." Taemin replied smiling nervously. He couldn't hide the shakiness of his voice, caused by cold though. That made Minho worried. Something surely was wrong with Taemin. Then he noticed Taemin shivering slightly.

Minho felt like crushing his own head with a rock. How could he not notice that Taemin was wearing only a long shleeved t-shirt? Of course, it wouldn't save the younger from the rising chilliness of the night at all.

"Taemin-ah, Let's get hot chocolate first. It's not far from here." Minho offered. He was thinking about just offering his warmth by pulling Taemin closer but that alone wouldn't work and he'd rather not want to be someone irritating, making lots of skin-ship. Only if he knew- how his fiance was trying to get a hold of a bit warmth by.......

"That'd be great" Taemin replied happily. 'but not enough'- he thought.

The liquid made contact with his tongue giving Taemin the delicious taste of chocolate that slide down through his throat leaving the feeling of pleasing warmth.

Minho watched Taemin with a smile on his lips. He really wanted to just wrap Taemin with his arms offering some of his body warmth but he doesn't want the younger to be crept out from his unexpected sudden acts. He couldn't help but smile watching the younger humming after taking each sip from his drink. Taemin, himself probably wasn't even aware of his childish acts.

Minho couldn't believe that this bundle of incredible cuteness is actually gonna be by his side the rest of his life. He'll have no difficulty to watch this endless cuteness at all. May be...just may be, he'll also receive a little bit of mutual feelings back. My be this cute little thing called Lee Taemin will be his someday. Yeas. His.

Minho shook the thoughts away. It sounds too possessive. Though he has a little bit of possessiveness in him, he still shouldn't do something out of character. He clearly remembers assuring the younger the time he needs to become comfortable with this whole couple thing after the younger agreed willingly to give this marriage a try-

"I will." Taemin stated.

"What?"

"Though I'm not ready for all the couple things, I still agree to marry...you.

"Out of pity?"

"Just because I want to give it a try.

"That's a lot for me."

Minho remembered the incident of their first date. (A/N: the given conversation happened in the chapter-"Hurt again") Just as he silently decided, he'll let the younger take all the time to get ready for the couple things while he'll keep being the silent lover, he is right now and help the younger to love him.

Minho couldn't help but let the wide grin take over his face watching the younger trying hard to away the leftover from his upper lip like a child.

"We're here." Minho announced bringing out a tissue from his pant pocket before carefully rubbing away the leftover from Taemin's upper lip.

Taemin was taken aback by Minho's sudden act. Suddenly the cold atmosphere around him felt a bit too hot. He felt hot blood rushing up to his face. Then when Minho's bare finger touched the corner of his lips, the sparkle of heat that it created, took Taemin off guard and he couldn't take it anymore. Simply out of reflex he hurriedly pushed Minho's hand while trying to focus his gaze anywhere but Minho's oh-so-gentle smile. Minho only smiled watching Taemin's red face. Though the older was mentally solding himself for being stupid, he couldn't help the contented smile that took over his lips for he loves it the most whenever the younger blushes because of him. Nevertheless he stopped smiling like an idiot, not wanting to keep his fiance in an embarrassed mood and coughed a few times to slap away the awkwardness.

"S-so, this is where you wanted to bring me?" Taemin asked slowly to which Minho nodded smiling gently. However Minho's gentle smile only caused Taemin to blush more.

The younger looked around taking in the view in awe. They were standing on a walkway that looked like a soft carpeted floor because of the green grasses. At their right side there there was a open park covered in green grass that looked so peaceful and heavenly with the right amount of trees here and there. Then there were more trees surrounding the park calculatedly leaving enough space among one another to make it specious. It looked like a perfect place to meet, talk, rest and enjoy the nature with a few benches scattering here an there under the trees. Taemin spotted an old couple sitting on a bench while holding hands, clearly having one of the most precious moments at the end their journey in this life with the nature and the most loved company of life. Watching such a sight, Taemin didn't know why but a flash of him and Minho at the same state played in his mind that left him red like tomato and confused as ever. He shook off the thought, not wanting to think too much.
At a corner of the park there set three mothers, gossiping under a tree while their children were playing together with their toys.
It was a calm, peaceful and beautiful scene along with the supportive environment. Such combination like this never fails to make people smile. It's a feeling of contentment which you get from watching other people spending their sweet times.

Taemin wasn't feeling any different. He was smiling as if he was feeling his own happiness, hot chocolate long forgotten. He snapped back to reality when Minho took away his forgotten chocolate cup.

"It has turned cold. Let me bring another one." Minho replied to Taemin's confused and questioning gaze.

It took Taemin a few seconds to register Minho's words. When he did, he quickly shook his head getting a bit dizzy for shaking his head too fast.

"N-No! That's not necessary. You don't have to bring another one. There wasn't much left anyway. J-Just...throw it away." Taemin replied blushing rad. He felt very embarrassed for zoning out for too long.

Minho bit back his laughter and nodded before walking back through the walkway till the park's end where, there was a trash-bin. He threw the cup in the trash-bin before turning around. He took a deep breath feeling slightly nervous. He hasn't yet said Taemin exactly what he has arranged this date for. He could see the younger leaning on a tree and staring at the lake which was on other side of the walkway, just at the opposite side of the park. He felt his palms sweaty despite the chilly weather. Now that he thinks about his real intention, the chilliness replaced with suffocating hotness that wasn't even there. Trying to ease the nervousness, he deeply inhaled and slowly exhaled.

He's not quite sure how Taemin will react at the fact that they have only two days left for their wedding to be done. Not that Taemin will back away. He can't even if he wants to. AND, for the umpteenth time, that's what makes Minho mostly sad. What if Taemin is marring him against his wish! Minho won't be able to bear the idea of marrying the younger against his will. That makes him think, He surely has fallen too deep in love with his fiance in this very little amount of time. Well, no regret.

His mother was right. Day by day, he's is falling harder and harder for the young
