The subtle ways in which Youngjae loves you are what set your heart thrumming against your ribs. A small note tucked into your bag, a cup of steaming coffee placed quietly on the nightstand to coax you from the caress of sleep, a delivery of a modest bouquet to your work when you are drowning in deadlines- a simple yet powerful way he affirms his adoration for you. 

But today as the freezing winds whip against your face and snow stings your eyes, it is the way he pulls you to the side and wraps his thick scarf around you that makes you melt despite the temperature. Satisfied that you are properly protected from the onslaught of Jack Frost, he hooks his arm through yours and leads you to a cafe. 

The warmth of fresh coffee defrosts your fingertips after Youngjae sets your order in front of you, taking the seat across for himself. He pushes a small plate towards you, 

“I got you a pastry as well,” he smiles, the apples of his cheeks glowing under the soft lights. 

“Thank you, but let’s share,” you say, cutting the pastry in half. Youngjae takes the smaller half, allowing you to indulge in your favorite treat. 

You do not believe you will ever tire of his love.
