He smiled, his eyes filling with relief and hope. "Really?" he breathed. "I've been trying so hard not to get my hopes up, but... I can't help it. Every time I'm with you, I just want more."

Mahi smiled back, her heart swelling at the tenderness in his voice. "I feel the same way, Taehyung. It's like every time we're together, it's just... perfect." She leaned in, her lips inches from his, and he could feel her breath against his skin. "I want to get to know you better. I want to explore this... whatever this is, together."

Taehyung closed his eyes, savoring the warmth of her breath on his face. "I don't want to push you, Mahi. I just want you to know that I'm here for you, and I want to be with you however you need me." He opened his eyes, meeting her gaze once more. "We can take it slow, if you'd like. Just... give me the chance to be a part of your life."

Her heart fluttered at his words. She hadn't expected him to be so understanding, so patient. It made her want to be with him even more. "Taehyung... I think I would like that. To get to know you better. To see where this goes." She smiled shyly. "And I would love for you to be a part of my life."

His eyes lit up at her response, and he reached out to take her hand in his. His touch sent a wave of warmth through her body, and she couldn't help but squeeze his fingers gently. "Thank you, Mahi. That means the world to me." He leaned in closer, his lips barely brushing against her ear as he whispered, "I have a feeling that we're going to have some amazing adventures together."

Mahi felt a shiver run down her spine at his words. She could almost see the possibilities unfolding before her, a vivid kaleidoscope of experiences and emotions that they would share. "I think you're right," she murmured, her voice barely audible above the soft music playing in the background. "I think we're going to have some truly incredible times."

They spent the rest of the evening talking and getting to know each other better. Taehyung told her about his life in Seoul, his family, and his passion for music. Mahi shared stories of her childhood in Mumbai, her family, and her love for interior design. As the night wore on, their hands intertwined, their fingers becoming entwined like the threads of a finely woven tapestry.
