"How could you do that to me Jonghyun hyung? Why Alice? Out of all the possible girls why the one I love? Do you know that we're having our 1 year anniversary today? Why her?" Taemin shouted angrily, hurt and with a glimpse of disgust towards his band member and hyung. 

"Taemin, will you listen to me?" Jonghyun pleaded.

"What do you have to say? For the past 3 weeks you've been seeing each other daily. Can you deny that?" 

“No Taemin-ah, I cannot and will not deny it since it’s completely true, but can we please have this conversation tomorrow? You need to meet up with Alice now.” Jonghyun spoke softly, trying to hold back his tears from all those hurtful accusations his dongsaeng made.

“Why? Did you plan with Alice for her to break up with me on our anniversary?” Taemin said also with tears in his eyes. He didn’t know if he had those tears because of the sadness of betrayal, the thought it was over or because of anger.

“Taemin!” Jonghyun shouted angrily. “How can you even think like that? I already have Izabell whom I have 9 months with. Plus do you really think I would ever do this to you? Do you actually think that I’m capable of doing this to anyone?” He said calmly once again, the sight of his dongsaeng crying and doubting him clearly breaking his heart. He moved closer, wanting to hug and comfort him, but he flinched away.

“Whatever. I need to meet up with Alice in 30 minutes at her place anyways. This talk is not over rhyung.” He said as he stormed out of the house, not even bothering to look back or wait for an answer.

>>> Your POV <<<

Half an hour before Taemin was supposed to come you got a call from Jonghyun which explained everything that had happened and what Taemin was thinking. You decided that you would make him forget everything the moment he walked through the door. You made sure the food was ready and neatly placed on the table in the upper living room, closed all the lights and lit all the candles. You scattered flower petals from the entrance, up the stairs, down the hallway, up the stairs again, until the living. You then went back to your room, which was one floor under, and added the finishing touches to your make-up, hair and outfit. You heard Taemin knock but you didn’t answer.

>>> No one’s POV <<<

He knocked again and when he heard no noise he got the keys out of his pocket, fearing it will be the last time he would be able to use them. He unlocked the door and as soon as he opened it his jaw hung low. Before him was an unbelievable sight. Pitch black darkness, only driven away by countless candles, forming a path, on the path being placed only rose petals. He took his shoes off and carefully walked along the path. That until he reached the stairs and had to walk on it, the flower petals offering such a strange but sweet sensation.

“Alice? Jagi?” He asked but got no answer. He continued walking down the path until he got in front of the upper living room and after five more steps he entered and saw the rose path split in two paths. One leading to the table which was beautifully and professionally arranged with food, candles and more rose petals all around it. The other path led to the piano and split into two as well. One actually leading to the black grand piano while the other led down to the sitting area. The piano also had petals all around it and the sitting area was as well full of rose petals.

“Happy anniversary, handsome.” He heard a beautiful, familiar voice and turned around.

>>> Your POV <<<

You heard Taemin walk pass your room and up the stairs. You opened the door carefully, not making a sound and went up behind him, keeping a safe distance. When he got to the living and stopped in his tracks a smile escaped your lips. You knew he had stopped in awe of your work. You lit the candles from the cake you had been carrying and walked up behind him.

“Happy anniversary, handsome.” You said lovingly. He spun around and looked at you in awe. “Surprised? Do you like it?” You asked happily.

“Yes I am surprised and I love it.” He said walking towards you and giving you a slight hug, careful enough not to mess the cake. He backed away after a bit but held his hands on your shoulders. “And WOW. Look at you. I never thought it was possible for you to be even more gorgeous.” He said looking up and down.

“Aigoo~ It’s not the first time you’ve seen me in a fancy dress.”

“No that’s true. But I’m still amazed each time. You never cease to amaze me no matter what you wear or how many times I’ve seen you wear it. Your good looks are stunning and I will never be able to get used to them.”

“Come on… blow them out. I don’t want wax to get on the cake.” You said giggling as you held the cake out.

“Why don’t we both do it? It’s our anniversary, which means both of us are in it.” He smiled happily.

You agreed with a smile and you both leaned in, blowing the candles at the same time. Taemin then softly pecked you on the lips.

“Saranghae, cheonsa.” He said softly with a smile.

“Nado saranghae, haendseom.” You smiled as well and walked over to the table and placed the cake in its right position. Yes, you had everything arranged beforehand and knew exactly what was going where. Let’s just say that you have a little OCD. “Come on. Let’s sit and eat before the food gets cold.” You pointed to his seat.

He sat down and eyed the food. There was everything. Appetizers, main course and desert. Korean, Japanese and western.

“This looks delicious. Why did you go through so much trouble? You really didn’t have to. I wonder just how much everything took you.” He said looking around. “I would’ve been perfectly fine just by spending some time with you.” He said as he took a sushi roll and ate it.

“It doesn’t matter how much it took or for how long I’ve planned it. It was for you and it was worth every second as long as you enjoy it.” You said smiling as you began eating as well.

During the meal there was small chitchat going on, jokes about the day you first met, reminiscences from when you were both in the dance show, from time to time Taemin stopped talking and praised your cooking, saying that no matter how much he’ll taste your cooking he will be surprised each and every time.

“Shall we take the desert to the sitting area?” You said a few minutes after you were both done eating the main course. Taemin nodded and you took the cake into your hands while he held the plates and spoons with the knife to cut it. You set down the cake and went back to the table and got two glasses which seemed to be already filled with something. They were different from the champagne glasses you had put while eating and Taemin eyed you curiously.

“What’s there? Never seen this before.” He asked as you came back.

“Well I thought that just champagne would be too little, and since I didn’t really want to combine a lot of alcohol, I decided to make a desert with it. It’s gelée au vin. So try it if you like it, if you don’t it’s okay. I’m not quite sure of it myself. It’s the first time I’ve tried it. But I think it goes well after steak, since it’s red wine.”  You said as you handed him one of the glasses, but instead of sitting down you walked over to the piano, put your glass on top of it and lifted the cover to the keys.

“I thought you couldn’t play the piano.” He said as you touched the keys softly.

“I can’t.” You smiled brightly. “But since we have a piano here I decided to let someone teach me 2 songs for today.”

“Why didn’t you ask me to teach you?” He pouted.

“Aigoo~ How could I have told you to teach me when this was a surprise for you.” You giggled softly.

“Oh… so wait… did…” He stopped talking, his brain finally making the connections when you simply nodded. It was Jonghyun who taught you. That’s why you had to see him daily for three whole weeks. He walked over next to you with his glass in his hand as well and you started playing.

The first song you played was Flaws and all by Beyonce and just after that you played Things I’ll never say by Avril Lavigne, Songs to which Taemin just sat quietly, enjoying the sound of the piano and the sound of your voice, also listening very carefully to the lyrics. There was something about the way your fingers lingered on the keys that drew Taemin into the song. When you finished and saw that Taemin wasn’t saying anything you got discouraged.

“Did I really mess it up that badly?” You said with a soft giggle and Taemin snapped out of his daze.

“Bad? No. Not at all. Everything was beautiful.” He said as he sat down next to you and held you in his arms, placing butterfly kisses all over your face. Forehead, cheeks, jawline, chin, nose, lips. “From your voice, to the way you held those notes, all the emotions poured into the song, the way your beautiful fingers lingered on the keys, you have the hands of a pianist.” He said as he got your hands and softly kissed them. “You’re already too perfect for me. I love you so much.” He said and placed a long kiss on your lips which you quickly returned.

He grabbed your hands and helped you up. In one hand he had your hand while in the other he took the two glasses, and led you to the sitting area. He carefully placed the glasses on the coffee table and then sat down, pulling you onto his lap, back hugging you. You wrapped your hands around his and leaned back, sitting in silence for a few minutes before you felt his hands move and placing them behind your neck. You turned your head to look at him but just them you felt something fall slip down your collar bones. You looked down and saw a necklace.

“Taemin? What’s this?” You asked a bit happy but a bit annoyed. For the past year you have been hiding your relationship. Meaning no couple gifts. You didn’t want Taemin’s private life to become even more hectic and you knew how mean some fans were. You didn’t want Taemin to receive insulting fan letters because of him going out with you.

“You said no couple things right? Well it doesn’t have to be a couple’s necklace. You can wear it in two ways so no one will know. I knew you wouldn’t have liked things that were too obvious so I chose this. Please do me this favor?” He smiled pleadingly.

“But… handsome… there is no need for these kind of things. I don’t need couple things to know that we are in love. Plus fans will catch onto this quickly. They’re already suspicious and getting onto us due to public display of affection. Some already ship us, but some…” You shuddered at the thought of nasty comments.

“I know you don’t need it. Neither do I. But it was my pleasure. I do not care if the fans know. I will protect you. You don’t have to wear it. At least accept it?”

You smiled and kissed him lovingly on the lips, action to which he smiled back, knowing it meant a yes. That one kiss turned into several kisses, which turned into a full make out session. He was still back hugging you while he was kissing you and you had your arms over your head and behind his neck. After a minute or so the position became rather uncomfortable for you so you broke the kiss for 3 seconds while you turned over so that now you were still sitting on his lap but facing him, and then you quickly resumed the kiss. His hand moved for your waist to your back which he massaged either through the fabric of your dress, where there was, or your bare skin, while your fingers were tangled in his hair, playing with it through the kiss. In the kiss he moved his hands from your back to your stomach, going up and down your waist. He left your lips and started kissing your neck, moving upwards to your jaw and then to your left ear. He laid you down gently on the couch and got on top of you, supporting his own weight, before attacking your left ear. He started from the helix part to the lobe, making sure to trace all three piercings you had in your left ear. A sensation which made you shiver in pleasure. He knew that your ears were one of your week spots and that playing with your piercings sent you off the hill. He got one of his hands, still supporting himself with the other, and traced your waist line up until your left which he hesitantly cupped, massaging it a bit. Both stimulations, that of your ear and the stimulation on your , which was a first time thing, made you moan even more, no longer having control over your voice.

Hearing your moans made Taemin stop. It wasn’t the first time he made you moan, but never this freely and needingly. He placed on last loving kiss on your lips and got up, giving you a helping hand as well.

“Why did you stop?” You asked a bit surprised.  This was the furthest you had ever gone so you didn’t think he would stop so soon. Even though you knew that you would’ve stopped him yourself if things had progressed too quickly, since it was your first time, you weren’t planning on stopping things this early yet.

“There’s no need to rush things, cheonsa.” He said and kissed your forehead lovingly before resuming his position of back hugging you.

You reached for the table and got one of the glasses of gelée au vin and a tea spoon. You scooped up a bit and turned a bit to your side so that you could face Taemin and held the spoon to his face. He understood what you meant and opened his mouth to take it in. He smiled happily while making a humming tone in pleasure of the taste.

“Is it really good?” You asked as you scooped up a spoon for yourself and ate it. You had no idea it would be this great. It was sweet yet with a strong flavor of wine and with a pinch of cinnamon taste and everything else you used for decoration. He kissed your lips once again and asked for permission which you gladly granted, making this the sweetest and most unusual kiss you ever shared. He broke the kiss pretty quick, not wanting to go where you had been before and smiled widely.

“It’s delicious. You’re a genius when it comes to…” he paused for a bit thinking “pretty much everything to be honest.” He smiled again. “But isn’t this too much alcohol?” He seemed pretty worried.

“Don’t worry, we’re at home and you aren’t leaving anywhere for the night. So if it seems too much we can go to bed without any worries.” You said smiling. You knew Taemin barely ever drunk any alcohol and it was mostly when you had a glass of whatever went well with what you cooked. You didn’t drink a lot either, but it seems that you had a strong tolerance to it, though you have no idea how you got it.

For the rest of the night you kept feeding each other the gelée au vin and had cake while you continued to cuddle and speak about the past, present and going a little in the future as well, him promising that he will come in London without schedules and meet your parents, see the neighborhood you grew in and do lots of fun things with you there. You have no idea when, but along the conversation you drifted away to sleep, the last thing that you felt was Taemin laying you down softly on his lap, grabbing one of the blankets that was near and covering you with it, making sure you looked comfortable as he kissed your forehead and started playing with your hair while whispering how much he loved you and how much you meant to him.
