It's been exact a month since that day when I went to his penthouse. Thinking about the intimacy we shared that day still gives me butterflies. And I catch myself thinking about that scenario more than often.

Unfortunately, I haven't been there again due to our busy schedules. Past month went by crazy, quite literally, you know how it happens in the exam season. We were hella busy in studies and all, but that, by no means, meant I haven't seen him.

In fact, we have been spending time more than ever. We go for classes together, we go for lunches together, we go for group study after school at library; together. So honestly I can't be happier. Spending major time of your day with your boyfriend is nothing but pure bliss.

I know what you're thinking. 

What about Liz, right? 

Umm oddly enough, she hadn't been a in the meantime, and I haven't seen her at all. Really, even. I am wondering if it is because tae has clearly drawn boundaries for her or because he rarely went to see her due to exams. Whatever the reason is, I couldn't care less.

But part of me is still bothered as I don't know what she is up to.. because as   much as I know her, she just can't back off this easily.

To tell you the truth, my gut feeling says this is the silence before storm. I just hope that my damn instinct is wrong. I don't want to see tae in stress. Frankly, he seems merrier these days, more relieved than ever, after he moved out. He smiles more genuinely, his eyes turns crescent every time he smiles and my heart gets full every time I see him beam happily.

Well, right now we are in canteen, sitting in one of the corners, with other boys and Khyati, preparing for our last exam and we are done with the semester. Tomorrow, starts our summer break and unlike every year, I was actually looking forward to it. This summer break literally meant a lot of dates without having to bunk classes. Even more so, Tae seems very much excited than me, as he has been planning about different things we should do during summer since the beginning of the month. 

I find it endearing. He looks quite cute when he tells me that he would take me to a hill station just to watch sunrise. I find it absolutely cute when he asked if I would like to do some gardening in his penthouse along with him. Yes, he has developed a new hobby. He has even reserved one of the restaurants where they serve best Tteokbokki as he knows how much I love it. He even planned to bake cake with me, which I am looking forward to, so much, since watching Kim taehyung in apron would sure be a sight.

Not to let BTS think that we are shutting them away, we have even made plan to go for camping with them. It would be great right? Living in forest, camp firing at night, sightseeing, dancing, singing and drinking until we pass out. Most importantly, staying in the same small tent with tae, in a cold night, I can imagine him wrapping his warm body against mine. Okay, I should stop myself here, I literally have exam in an hour! 

A smile makes it way to my lips when I think about the wonderful summer break I am gonna live. I glance at tae, and to my surprise, he was staring at me. Quite intently. As my eyes locked with his, he raised his brow curiously and I cleared my throat, brushing away my thoughts,

"I think you should stare the book instead of my face." I chuckle glancing at him softly as he takes my hands in his.

"Ohh but I like to stare at your pretty face, more." He shrugs as I roll my eyes earning a muffled chuckle from him.

"I like it when you smile, what were you thinking about?" He asks, kissing the back of my hand.

"Ohh, COCO" I breathed "I can't wait for the summer break to begin."

"Neither me." He says kissing my cheek gently and placed his hand on my thigh. 

I gasp and a sudden wave of shivers runs through my spine. Even if he hadn't touched me with intensionally, I found my breathing go shallow. I close my eyes to catch my breath and he noticed how I shifted on my seat.

"Hey, are you okay?" He whispered, certainly to tease me when he discovered how much his touch had effects on me. He smirks as I look at him, gulping the lump that has formed in the back of my throat. I gasp when he slightly squeezed my thigh and his fingers made its way to my inner thigh. I shut my eyes close, feeling a tingling sensation to run over my body. I squeeze my thigh tight, catching his hand between my two thighs. I wanted more, I was craving for his touch but as if god was not wanting that to happen, Jimin —who was seated across the table—  called for him. Instinctively, we break out of our trance and I opened my squeezed thighs.

He pulled out his hand gently and squeezed them once more, before shifting his attention to Jimin. I placed my hand on my face, trying to get a hold of myself, breathing deep.

"Hey are you okay?" Khyati asked as every eyes on the table fell upon me, including tae's. I saw him grinning, enjoying my flustered state and I groaned internally. As I didn't respond, she quirked her brows, waiting for me to answer.

"Y-Yeah. It's just exam. I'm worried."I lie through my teeth, giving away a faint smile.

"Instead of fooling around with your boyfriend all the time, you should have focused more on studies." She taunted, shaking her head.

"Hey, Hey!!" Tae spoke "We weren't fooling around, Miss. We were rejoicing each other's company. There's a difference." He said, crossing his arms and I bobbed my head rapidly to agree with him.

"Moreover, my sugar is smarter than any of us, I know she will do good." He announced proudly, making my heart flutter. 

"Look how whipped he his! Eww!!" Khyati retorted, scrunching he nose playfully as we giggle. 

"You're just jealous" He mocked as I looked at him, his eyes fell upon me, his eyes forming crescent and my heart skips a beat. I pouted to give him kiss on his cheek but he leaned in to place a quick peck on my lips, which really threw me off guard. He grinned at my pink cheeks and cupped them caressing them gently.

"Are you really worried about exam?" He whispered to which I shake my head slightly. He heaved sigh of relief and opens his mouth to say something, just to get interrupted by my phone ringing.

I narrow my eyes, wondering who's calling me as I pulled out my phone from my jean. It was Mom. She must have called for wishing me luck, as she's been quite busy herself in her hospital.
I mouthed 'it's mom' to tae and stood up from the table, walking away to quiet place.

"Hey mom" I chirped as soon as I picked up the call.

"Hey. Very Best of luck, honey." She said, her voice so tired.

"Thanks. Where are you? Are you coming back home tonight?" I ask, gnawing on my upper lip.

"I have two surgeries to do, sweetie. I'll be back later by eve, I guess. If I couldn't make it until dinner, promise me you will cook something for both of you girls and feed khyati." She said softly, concern evident in her voice.

"Ahh mom. Aren't you overworking yourself? I feel so bad you've to work this hard." I sighed, shaking my head in disbelief.

"It's out of duty sweetie. Being doctor, it's my duty to save people's l
