You and Heeseung had been in a public relationship for a couple of weeks, but the truth was, you had been secretly dating for eight months. As the sun shone brightly overhead, you sat cross-legged on the grass, watching Heeseung pose for his Orange Blood photoshoot. He looked effortlessly cool, the soft breeze tousling his hair while the photographer captured his best angles.

You were deep in conversation with Sunoo, exchanging playful banter and laughs, but you didn’t realize when he slipped away. Moments later, you felt a strange tickling sensation on your leg. At first, you thought it was Sunoo trying to sneak up on you, but when you looked down, your heart raced. A small, fuzzy caterpillar was crawling along your thigh.

Letting out a startled scream, you instinctively brushed it away, startling the nearby staff. Heeseung’s head snapped up at the sound, and he quickly jogged over to you, concern etched on his face. His eyes widened in surprise as he spotted the little bug.

“Hey, it’s okay!” he said, gently reaching down to remove the caterpillar from your leg. He held it delicately in his hand, a relaxed smile spreading across his lips as if he were handling a treasure rather than a creepy crawly. “May I use this as a prop?” he asked the staff, completely unfazed by the bug.

You watched him, a mix of admiration and disbelief flooding your chest. How could he be so calm about something that had sent you into a panic? Heeseung’s easy charm shone through even in this moment, and you couldn’t help but smile back at him, feeling a rush of warmth in your heart.
