The sky was burning a bright orange, mixed with dusky hues of purple. Clouds floated lazily by. Our day at the park was coming to a

close. Together we packed our belongings, and began to make our way lazily back home. The steady plop of our feet created a

metronome, a steady rhythm. Wordlessly, Taeyeon interlaced her fingers in mine and let out a small sigh. “Did you have a good day?”

She asked, her voice dripping with weariness. I took a moment before answering “I did,” And then returned her question, “Did you have

a good day?” Taeyeon nodded and mumbled “Mmhmm,” A small smile creeping into her tired face. “What was your favorite part about

today?” Taeyeon let go of my hand and wrapped it around my waist in a hug before saying “Guess.” We kept walking, our house not

much further, her demand not needing an answer. Finally, we reached the front door, the door gently swooshing open to reveal the

comfort of our home. Taeyeon began walking towards the bedroom, and I quickly set aside the picnic basket and closed the front door

before following her. Taeyeon quickly changed into her pajamas, which were just , and an over-large shirt sporting SpongeBob

on the front. Me simply wearing pajama pants and a black t-shirt. I lay down on the bed, propped slightly up by some pillows and

Taeyeon laid on top of me, her face inches from mine, and her arms on either side of my head. Gently, I draped my arms around her

slim waist. “Tell it to me again.” She whispered, her warm, sweet breath tickling my face. “Tell you what?” I questioned, already knowing

the answer, but wanting to hear her whisper more. “Tell me you love me.” She whispered back. A small grin crept onto my face.

“What’s in it for me?” I . Taeyeon lowered her head next to mine and kissed me on the cheek. “I’ll tell you that I love you

too.” Instantly I was won over. “Come here then.” I said. Taeyeon moved her head up once more above mine. My eyes locked onto her

dark brown eyes. “I love you, Kim Taeyeon. And I always will.” I declared. “And I will always love you.” Taeyeon said. Together we lay

on the bed, sharing silent whispers, trading kisses, and eventually falling asleep.

                I awoke to the playful chatter of birds; Taeyeon’s even breathing sounding off next to me, her hands resting on my chest,

just above my heart. Slowly, I moved my hand to rest over hers. “We have already been together so long.” I thought silently to myself.

“It’s a miracle. That she would even notice someone like me is nothing short of amazing.”  I smiled as Taeyeon made a face in her

sleep before turning placid once more, a slight chuckle escaping me. I began to doze, waiting for Taeyeon to wake up. The sound of

the mail slot brought me back out of the twilight of light sleep, and Taeyeon’s eye lids fluttered. “Good morning.” I said brightly before

kissing Taeyeon’s forehead. “Today, we should go on an adventure!” Taeyeon smiled and nodded her agreement. “Today is going to

be tons of fun! I can’t wait to spend the day with you.” She said.
