"PARK JIMIN!! HOW DARE YOU FORGET OUR ANNIVERSARY!! "
Jimin choked on his morning coffee. His eyes going wide taking in the fuming feminine figure screeching on the top of her lungs.. And a panicked Jeongguk on the doorway.
Jimin squinted his eyes on his secretary.

"MR.JEON! Did you forget to deliver the flowers to my beloved for our weekly anniversary this morning? "
Jeongguk was speechless. Weekly Anniversary! Seriously! He already remembers 61 contacts of his dear boss's girlfriends & now he has to remember weekly anniversaries!

Without a word, Jeongguk fled away from his office to the nearby florist. He hates his boss with a passion. Jeongguk had clearly mentioned it in his resumenin bold letters that he was allergic to pollen. Yet his inconsiderate ass of a boss never bothers about it.

But the job paid well, so, Jeongguk without complaint was searching for fresh flowers for his boss aka Jimin's 62nd girlfriend.
Being in the corporate side of the city it's hard to find a florist shop cause all he saw was tall buildings. But maybe he wasn't that unlucky!

At the end of lane, on the other side was a small shop garnished with fresh tulips and sunflowers on its front. Hadn't the delivery of flowers were slow, Jeongguk would have definitely opted for that instead of suffering himself. He was already dreading thinking of his allergy

A remorseful faced Jeongguk stood in front of the shop.
"Ferns and Petals"
He looked around the flower shop. As much as the vibrancy pleased his eyes, his lungs felt suffocated standing in the dense canopy of flowers. His nose trickling and pushing him on the edge to sneeze hard

A loud sneeze broke its way through the silence. Jeongguk was trying hard to not get affected by the pollens around. However his eyes we're itchy and almost watery.
"Who's there?"
Came out the question from inside. And a few moments later.....

... stood in front of Jeongguk was a breathtaking male with silky blonde locks, clutching a bunch of pure white roses and beautiful chocolate brown eyes wide open in surprise.
Jeongguk almost forgot how to breathe.

Gosh! Jeongguk was losing himself over the guy's deep voice. But his allergy was the greatest enemy of his unborn love story. His eyes almost brimming and red nose was itching to sneeze. With a much controlled and constipated tone he uttered,

The blonde was freaking out on inside. He didn't understand why the handsome ravenette was tearing up on his door step. But he didn't want to make his customer feel awkward and with a polite smile he asked again,

Jeongguk was facing hard time controlling his suffocation and a slither of tear escaped from his eyes. He quickly wiped it away, wishing the blonde beauty to have not noticed it.
But the florist was well observant. He couldn't decipher the feelings of the young man.

"Yeah! 100 burgundy red roses"
The Constrained voice of the young man was worrying the florist. But he didn't want to overstep his boundary. So without any question, he rushed to arrange the requested bouquet for his customer.

Being a florist, he knew the meaning behind every single flower.
Burgundy rose - undying love.
He glanced at the man on his door step as he continued to remove the thorns. He was awed by the sharp features of the man.
*Undoubtedly handsome* , he thought.

"Here they are! "
The age long 15mins wait came to an end and Jeongguk was rewarded with a beautiful boxy smile for the patience he conjured to stand in the flower shop. His eyes were watery but that didn't stop him from giving the florist his bashful smile.
"Thank you. "

The blonde could see the tears in the charcoal eyes and felt the pain in behind his voice. His heart clenched at seeing the miserable tragic state of the raventte and he wanted to comfort him. Or at least know the reason behind his agony.

With his rectangular boxy smile he offered..
"I am Taehyung. This is my business card. If you need flowers for any occasion, feel free to call. We accept decorations for weddings as well. "

"Sure. Thanks. BTW I m Jeongguk"
They both shook hands and Jeongguk tried not to just sprint out of the shop clutching the bouquet almost at a one hand distance. The moment he was at a safe distance from the shop inside another alley, he finally let out the thread of sneezes

Jeongguk was sneezing and running all the way to his office and bursted into Jimin's office, finally handing him over the disgusting bunch of rose right on his face.

It felt like the time when Jeongguk had started working for Jimin 7 months ago. A week after his joining, he had to accompany his boss to a party. He had expected a business party since his boss didn't have a date, so it couldn't have been a ball!
But he was shocked.

When the chauffeur pulled in front of a mansion like building, Jeongguk wasn't certain of what type of party they were attending. However the mystery was solved when they entered inside the room flooding with balloons and ribbons and music blasting the speakers.

It was Jimin's 47th girlfriend (which Jeongguk didn't know by then) aka Mina's pet, apparently a toad's bday!
"Just like a man's heart is reached through his stomach, a girl's heart is reached through her pet's stomach! "
It was the not-so-wise ideology of his playboy boss!

So that's how Jeongguk again finds himself in the door step of Ferns & Petals, struggling to hold back his itching eyes from tearing up and sneezing the life out of himself.

Before Jeongguk could knock or call out for Taehyung, the deep soothing voice of the said blonde reached Jeongguk first. The sweetness dripping from the words felt like pollen garnished confection for him! No matter how beautifully sweet they are, Jeon knows better to avoid it

Taehyung suddenly felt the presence of someone and turned around to see the gloomy face of Jeongguk. His eyes watery as if he his trying not to cry. He looks more pathetic than the previous day.

.. to the point that he purposely didn't call the florist in his contact for delivery but take his own time and walk down the street to get the flowers himself, even though he was severely allergic to it.
He even had his meds before coming to the shop. But his eyes watered again

He wasn't trying to get his hopes high. The max he wished was to probably get a chance to take the florist for a coffee if not a proper date.

He was so sad mulling over his heartbreak that he didn't even bother reciprocating the smile.

Taehyung felt discouraged. Jeongguk didn't return the cute bunny smile that he had done last time, a week before. It weighed down his spirits. However, not wanting to overstep bybasking anything personal, he sticked to the usual question.

Busy in his own pity party, Jeongguk didn't even glance around before pointing at a bunch of wilted pink roses at the corner.
Taehyung was puzzled. With a frown he replied.

Jeongguk barely whispered. He didn't care about flowers that were nothing but suffocation for him.
Jimin has always been a man of hearts. He may look like a douche playboy, but he knew emotions. So it wasn't rocket-science for him, to figure out Jeon's condition

Jimin decided to look into the matter. But Jeongguk was too simple. The boy has no affair or rivals right from his childhood. He had a clear slate and Jimin couldn't pin point of what might actually bother his dear P. A!

His phone vibrates again. Ever since he has left the office, Jimin keeps blowing her phone with whining messages of how he isn’t able to find the correct files,

He was answering to his boss’s stupid questions when he collided with someone, more appropriately, someone collided with him.
He stumbled over but luckily balanced himself before falling on his face.

He stumbled over but luckily balanced himself before falling on his face.
He could hear a string of apologies and cuss words muttered his way by the individual who was bend on his knees collecting his scattered papers, his notes probably.
The stranger gets up and Jeongguk is rendered shocked. Taehyung’s apology is left on his tip of the tongue.

Both are shocked to see each other. It was totally unexpected!
Blinking his eyes Taehyung speaks first.
“Jeongguk-ssi. What are doing here? “
“I am here for some work. I didn’t know you studied here.”
“Yeah! I do. I am a botany major.”

Before Jeongguk could finish his sentence, Taehyung blurts his apology sprinting in the other direction.
“I am so sorry. My class starts in 5. I will see you around.”
Jeongguk stared at the retreating figure for a while and then walks away to find his workplace for the week.

Jeongguk stared at the retreating figure for a while and then walks away to find his workplace for the week.
Jeongguk strolled his way into the building. It was huge with crème and beige walls and pillars to support the enormous infrastructure. The students splurged all around and the sounds of basketball drumming in the field was all signs of the upcoming fest.
The classrooms were filled and lectures were delivered. It is like some beautiful reverie that Jeongguk passes through.
At the end of the hall, he finally finds the Principal office. The Principal, was a decent but strict lady and Jeongguk only hopes to not upset her .

However, the only person ended up with a frown was himself!
The amount of files and records he has to go through was never-ending. The piles of paper he needs to sign on and stack for the funds was more than the work in his office.

It’s like Jimin’s Haelmoni was actually set on punishing her grandson but poor Jeongguk was dragged into this mess!
He huffs looking at the bundle of files and the vacant cabin. He is going to suffer alone here!
It’s almost afternoon and Jeongguk is no where near the end.

It’s almost afternoon and Jeongguk is no where near the end.
He has to finish it in order to involve himself in the upcoming fest responsibility but the mountain of work is not permitting him any slack. The aroma of fresh coffee from the nearby cafeteria isn’t helping the situation either.
So deciding to take a break,
So deciding to take a break,
he walks out to the area to have his much needed shot of caffeine in his system.
To say Taehyung is irritated is probably an understatement the way he stomps in the hallways. His blood, sweat tears established project was ruined before he could even show it to his professor.
To say Taehyung is irritated is probably an understatement the way he stomps in the hallways. His blood, sweat tears established project was ruined before he could even show it to his professor.
And to say the reason!
The girls of his class thought the flowers were so beautiful that it must be a part of their gallery. Their photoshoot expedition however cost Taehyung too much. His eyes almost welled when he saw how his precious flowers looked wilted and out of place.

They were too delicate.
To blow off some of his anger he heads towards the coffee shop. His mind, preoccupied with the thoughts of how he won’t compete in the festival. As if the day isn’t worse enough, his left foot slipped and he falls forward.

luckily before his face could plant on the wet floor, a strong arm is griping him tight around his waist preventing him from any further humiliation.
He is pulled back on his feet and his deep hazel eyes now are looking straight into the familiar coal doe eyes. Taehyung is lost.
He is pulled back on his feet and his deep hazel eyes now are looking straight into the familiar coal doe eyes. Taehyung is lost.
As cliché as it sounds, Taehyung suddenly feels those eyes are the prettiest pair he has ever seen even though it’s not his first time. And when his descends down the familiar face, he feels knocked out at the proximity he can see Jeongguk’s clear skin and boopable nose.
He could feel his cheeks warming up at the proximity.
Jeongguk chuckles before letting go and stepping away (because it was too much for his weak heart).
“taehung-ssi are you okay?’
Taehyung could only nod before he blinks out of his fantasy world.

Jeongguk coos at the blonde’s lost expression.
“Thank you Jeongguk-ssi”
“No issues. Please call me Jeongguk. I don’t think I am that older.”
“Jeongguk.”
The name rolls off nice on his tongue and he likes the sound of it more than he should.

“Aisssshhhhhhh!!”
Jimin is high key frustrated.
“Who even invented these colour codes?”
“I will google it for you sir.”
Haechan pipes in.
Jimin rolls his eyes for the tenth time. He questions himself of why he even thought of hiring Haechan ever.

“haechan-shi, that’s not what I meant. You were the one who colour coded these so why is it so difficult for you to find the files now?”
“Oh! I colour-coded them but I don’t remember the meaning of those colours”
“What?? How do you even find the files then?”
“Oh! I colour-coded them but I don’t remember the meaning of those colours”

“Jeongguk-ssi remembers the codes; I only remember the colours. But if you want I can colour code them again and arrange it.”
“Are you out of your mind.?”, Jimin exclaimed
“Why not? These colours are so basic, that’s why you never remember the meanings: red, blue, green, yellow

Jeongguk was patientfully listening to whatever taehyung was
ranting. Even though he has zero knowledge about flowers but he can surely say it meant a lot to the brunette if the hidden tears were something to go by.
“ ….You know it takes two to five years and they just spoilt it in…”
Taehyung was no where done in his speech when
“ ….You know it takes two to five years and they just spoilt it in…”
Taehyung was no where done in his speech when
Jeongguk’s phone chimed. Apologetically the ravenette fished out his phone and looked through the message.
[ Jamless Jimin: Where are the hired employee files]
[ Jeon: In the lower-shelf, black drawer. Why?]
“So you see.. they are so delicate and…”
The phone chimed again.

[Jimin: And I love you too for handling my sorry ass. ☹<3 ]
Jeongguk laughed at the last message. He got so busy enjoying his boss’s misery that he didn’t notice the scowl
[Jimin: And I love you too for handling my sorry ass. ☹<3 ]
Jeongguk laughed at the last message. He got so busy enjoying his boss’s misery that he didn’t notice the scowl
on Taehyung’s face right across the table.
Taehyung was infuriated. The continuous thread of messages, blowing off the phone was fueling his anger.
/What a desperate girlfriend is she? Can’t she allow a man to breathe in peace for a moment./
His mind reeled back to all those
Taehyung was infuriated. The continuous thread of messages, blowing off the phone was fueling his anger.
/What a desperate girlfriend is she? Can’t she allow a man to breathe in peace for a moment./
His mind reeled back to all those
encounters where he saw Jeongguk in teared eyes and bothered looks. He had almost assumed the couple to go through a rough patch but now he surely understands why Jeongguk has always looked so worked up.
/anyone with such a girlfriend can never be in peace/
He hated the girl.
/anyone with such a girlfriend can never be in peace/
He hated the girl.
It’s been almost five minutes and Jeongguk’s phone have chimes not less that 20 times already. And the myriad of expressions and smiles Jeongguk is displaying is just adding fuel to the fire. So,Before he snaps at Jeongguk he decides to take a leave.
Jeongguk’s smile suddenly fell off his face and hesitantly he bowed as Taehyung left. He didn’t have the chance to even apologise. Now he hates his boss for ruining the little good time he was having.
[Jeon: I hate you :<]

Taehyung drags himself to his room and falls flat on the bed. His mind is a total mess. He feels sad to the point he wants to curl into a ball and break down into ugly sobs. But at the same time he is infuriated to the point he wants to smash everything and pull his hair out

His beautiful flowers were all ruined before the exhibition in the fest and the fact that he couldn't even shout at them was bugging him like some fungal itch. And not to mention the low key negligence from the ravenhead. Taehyung had just started to feel a bit better-
to have Jeongguk listen to his pathetic misery but that stupid phone of his....
Just then his own phone chimes.
Just then his own phone chimes.

“Gguk-ah, Tokyo is so beautiful. When will you get your holidays…we all can come back here again!”
Jeongguk’s mom chirped happily through the receiver. Jeongguk’s heart blooms in happiness thinking of how happy is family is. He chuckles before continuing his conversation

bloom even in the gloomiest days possible.
His professor was disappointed on him. He was expecting something from Taehyung but the flowers are ruined and the exhibitions and fests are just one more day to go. So Taehyung doesn’t even have much time in his hands.
His professor was disappointed on him. He was expecting something from Taehyung but the flowers are ruined and the exhibitions and fests are just one more day to go. So Taehyung doesn’t even have much time in his hands.
His fingers caress the soft petals of the jasmine. The fragrance calming him almost immediately. His mind drifts back to the days when he struggled to get his own shop set up in the first year from the savings he had done since middle school; how easily time flew by and how he
would be graduating two months later. Taehyung was pondering over all these when he hears soft chuckles far away.
He tilts his head and finds a figure pacing back and forth in the lawns maze. He arches his back a little more to see the face properly.
“Jeongguk”

The florist could see Jeongguk holding a phone close to ear and laughing heartily to whatever or whoever is on the other side. He could see how the soft sun rays light up his face like some golden highlighter and his eyes shine is pure mirth. His eyes unintentionally zoom into
the tinest details of how he waves his hands in the air making some movements or how he would nod his head even while talking over a phone or how beautifully he scrunches his nose.
/he is so cute./
Taehyung doesn't understand why he is suddenly fascinated to see the ravenette.

He blames it all on the horror movie he saw last night.
“For fucks sake it’s broadday light and what would a nun be doing in college lawn. I am never watching horror movies again”
Reluctantly he runs away.
Taehyung almost giggles at the way the other reacted. His mind no more

It’s almost afternoon by the time Taehyung has his classes over. The weather is pretty much chilled. The winds blowing and ruffling his hair as he walks out. He plugged in his earphones and fished out his phone to play his playlist to walk back home when he
heard his named being called.
He halted and looked back to see Jeongguk approaching him, his hair parted from the forehead cause of the wind. He stood there on spot waiting for Jeongguk to reach him.
“Taehyung. HI.”
Jeongguk was nervous for what he was about to do.

Jeongguk was nervous for what he was about to do.
He felt guilty whole night for unintentionally disappointing Taehyung. It was rude of him and it didn’t settle well with him that he treated Taehyung ill-mannered.

to ignore the person in front of me and engage in phone.”
“It must have been something urgent.”
“But it was rude of me. Please let me make it up to you. We can go for a coffee?”

Taehyung’s heart drummed against his ribs. Jeongguk acted way too adorable. His small thin lips turning into a pout while requesting was just too much for the florist to handle. He was on the verge on giving up when he felt his arms being looped and beside him stood Youngjae.
“Taetae, let’s go get it.”
Jeongguk was startled at the sudden intervention. The same young guy from the café two days ago. Their linked arms giving away the fact they are close and the nickname suggesting they are closer.
“Youngjae”
Taehyung whispered and Jeongguk could hear

that it was his fault at the first place for harbouring any feelings.
/I will move on gradually/
He convinces himself.
Taehyung could only give an apologetic look before Youngjae pulls him with him away from Jeongguk. The raven head standing there. He missed the chance, again.

He went back to his cabin to get his rest of his belongings. His work for the university has finished and from tomorrow he would have no reason to be here or see Taehyung and maybe that’s why he wanted that one coffee (date) with the florist. He sighed as he locked the cabin.
The afternoon sun as dull as his mood. He can’t wait to head back to home to his Miri and cuddle. It’s like déjà vu.
He sat in his old vintage car when there’s a knock on his window. It’s Professor Yeri, the new psychology teacher (and Jimin’s recent interest :

young for her! Like he looks a year or two older than us and she must be like 28 already.”
Youngjae comments as he licks on his ice-cream as they continue walking. He nudges Taehyung who looks eerily silent after having his “i-can-die-for” strawberry ice-cream.

The image of Jeongguk and his professor being so close kind of stuck in his mind as he saw them from the sidewalks. He can’t point the reason why his mood turned sour at the sight. His strawberry ice-cream doesn’t even appeal him anymore and Youngjae’s voice
sounds irritating to his ears.
“Taetae are you okay? What happended?”
He doesn’t have the answer to it, doesn’t have the answer to why he feels like sulking or why he is frustrated over Youngjae to have pulled him away from Jeongguk at that moment.

He mumbles and continues walking.

The next day Tae was rushing out of his house. His elder brother yelling at him
for skipping the breakfast but the florist was already in the mission mode. He was getting late (and he doesn’t want to miss the chance to meet Jeongguk and maybe fish for a chance for the coffee date again). His phone beeped continuously and he knows it Seokjin blowing up
his phone with a thread of warnings and a bunch of links of “Why you should never skip your breakfast”. He curses himself for not getting up early and wasting his precious 20mins of his breakfast time deciding over if should wear peach sweater or beige bear hoodie…and ditching
both to wear all black and pairing it with his favourite cardigan (he had a man to impress)
Half way through his way and his phone is vibrating. It’s too early for someone to call him
“Hello taebear! Where are you?”
“Umm.. I am actually leaving for uni. Do you need something?”

“Did you miss me that bad?”
The boss teased his secretary unaware of the gloominess that was masked beneath the professional smile. Jeongguk had made an effort and it failed.

He woke extra early (not that he couldn’t sleep at all) and chose to drive the long way to office, just so he could cross the florist’s shop to pay him a visit but instead of the beautiful blond with the boxy smile, he found his boyfriend, Youngjae working inside.
Jeongguk’s decision to stop his car at a snap altered and he changed his gears to speed away from the place. Disappointment was just an understatement.
Jimin laughed at the scrunching disgusted look of Jeongguk before vanishing behind the glass door of his cabin and leaving
Jimin laughed at the scrunching disgusted look of Jeongguk before vanishing behind the glass door of his cabin and leaving
behind Jeongguk to sulk and dive deep into work in hope to forget the florist.

Three hours of class has been missed. Three hours of gardening has been missed. Three hours of no-movement. Taehyung’s ass is all numb by now. He kept sitting in the cafeteria glancing from
the window any trace of a bunny-smiled ravenette clad in a suit to appear but to no avail. He couldn’t even see the man’s car in the parking lot nor he can see his little cabin at the other building open.
And to worsen his thoughts even the professor isn’t seen in the campus.

All wild thoughts run in his brain and he couldn’t find the brakes to halt himself from overthinking. The thoughts clouding and upsetting him even more, he stood abruptly and walked out to his way home.
Maybe Gods above don’t hate him much as
he crosses his path with Professor Yeri and a tiny bit of his unsteady heart feels at ease to see no visible trace of a wild night on her. With that tiny little happy moment to lift his mood, he finally decides to ditch the rest of the class and help Youngjae,
now that he finally is in a better mood.

The warm sunrays were peeking behind the clouds. The fog in the air still present and the dew moistening the meadow grass, such was the morning. Jeongguk walked out of his apartment with Miri’s and Mickey’s leash in his hand. It’s almost been a week since Hoseok had gone to
New York for his performance and a week of Jeongguk watching over Mickey licking Miri’s face every second of the day. He’s standing at the roadside of the park as Mickey poops when his phone ringtone rings and on the screen is Hoseok. Jeongguk could see the stage behind and hear
the loud cheering.
“hyung! It’s night there! It’s your performance night”
“Yeah! Time-zone sucks. You must be out for the dogs walking.”
“Yeah! All the best hyung. I wish I was there too.”
“Ahh! I miss you too Gguk-ah. I wish the same.”
“when are you returning home hyung?”

“Ahh! I miss you too Gguk-ah. I wish the same.”
“when are you returning home hyung?”
“Tomorrow afternoon. And we are having a party on Friday! Lets groove in there”
“Sure hyung”

“Sure hyung”
Someone calls Hoseok’s name from behind and they both hung up.
Jeongguk was really attached to Hoseok. Not because they were neighbours, it happened much later. Jeongguk knew Hoseok+
+ever since his graduation days. He was a senior, Jeongguk looked up to. They sure didn’t interact much as Hoseokm passed out from the university earlier but Jeongguk’s passion for dancing made them cross their paths enough in those days for Hoseok to call Jeongguk to his+
+dance institute one day and a week later introduce him as an official member of their dance club. Had some unfortunate situations didn’t come in way, today Jeongguk would have been with Hoseok in the stage performing as well.
“Ahh! Those were good days. But today would be

worse if I don’t back and prepare for today’s meeting. Miri-ah , Mickey! Let’s goo!”

Taehyung was cursing into the pillow. It’s been 30 mins straight since Hanee is screaming her boyfriend’s name, the fuck out of her lungs in the ass crack dawn hour. He already had a
miserable night all because of his botany professor Namjoon who decided to grace him with his presence and ask him the reason of why he ditched his classes when the professor clearly saw him sipping on his cold-coffee in the cafeteria.
To say Seokjin was unhappy would be an understatement. He had enough of headaches in his life and his dear sister was not being considerate at all with all the screaming she did, makes the blonde want to bang his head on the wall and kill himself. He pushes his head more into
the pillow to find back his sleep when another round of high-pitch wave hits his abused eardrum.
“J-HOPEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!! YAYYYYYYYYYYY! YASSSSSSSSSSSS-“
“Noona please lemme sle-“
“LES GEDIT LES GEDIT LES GEDIT-“
“NOOOONAAAAAAA-“
“CHICKENNOODLESOUP CHICKENNOODLESOUPPPPPP”

“FOR CHRIST’S SAKE NOONAA-“
“WITH SODAAA ON THE SIDEEE-“
Taehyung gives up. He flips the pillow over his head and tries his best to shut down the noise. He can only wish to Hoseok hyung to land Busan back soon or else he would have permanent ear damage at this rate.

Hoseok’s performance has been a success and he can’t contain his happiness to see how his company will be thriving more and more with time. After their celebration in NewYork, Hobi takes the first flight of morning to be back to his people.

Taehyung knows he shouldn’t be disappointed but he is. He was unwillingly attending his philosophy lecture when a shiny black car pulled before the building. He craned his neck to look out of the window only to find, Park Jimin clad in a perfect Armani suit
stride into the building. He knows he shouldn’t have expected Jeongguk to show up but he did had a slight hope. The clock thankfully strucks to 12 and he can’t wait to go back home and flop on his bed again. The afternoon classes all have been suspended to decorate the building
for the upcoming fest and he has no interest in them. He has agreed to deliver the required flowers from his shop and that’s all help he is willing to offer.
He put the hood on of his blue hoodie and was crossing the hall when he noticed the professor, Yeri laughing to something
He put the hood on of his blue hoodie and was crossing the hall when he noticed the professor, Yeri laughing to something
and leaning forward as if putting her head on someone’s shoulder. He was not trying to peek too much but all he could see the shadow figure of a man. He hid behind the near by pillar to see more. His hawk eyes strained on the professor’s figure. He could see the shadow figure on
the other side approach his hand. The sun catching onto the expensive watch and he could see his hand laced with the professor’s as if he was about to-
“Tae!”
“Jesus!”
Tae almost had a heart-attack. He curses under his breath before looking at a weirded-out Jennie.

Tae almost had a heart-attack. He curses under his breath before looking at a weirded-out Jennie.
He swiftly grabs her arm and pulls her towards the staircase.
“What were you doing there?”
“I was searching for my boyfriend slash your best-friend, Youngjae? I thought I might I ask you”
“I don’t know Jen. Might be in his home… i-I guess.”

“Umm… are you okay? You seem freaked out.”
“No i-I was just caught off-guard.”
“Okkay! See ya!”
Jennie goes away without doubting anything leaving behind Taehyung to solve his own bunch of mystery. He knows for sure that the other person isn’t Jeongguk as that isn’t the height
“No i-I was just caught off-guard.”
“Okkay! See ya!”
Jennie goes away without doubting anything leaving behind Taehyung to solve his own bunch of mystery. He knows for sure that the other person isn’t Jeongguk as that isn’t the height
of the ravenhead and he doesn’t know who else could be the other person as many in the university were from rich families. With cobwebs jamming his brain he goes straight to his home to think through things peacefully.

It was finally Friday!
Everyone was buzzing with the excitement. It was the party night in the dance studio. Hoseok was beaming like a disco-light that Taehyung thought that all his mitchondrias would short-circuit at the amount of energy they are producing. ( don’t come to him,

Taehyung was glad to have his college suspended for the fest preparations and for once in a week he had a good night sleep. The previous night with Hoseok’s homecoming and their fun-filled dinner and Hanee leaving with Hoseok to his apartment,
Taehyung was blessed to wake up late in the morning or more precisely noon.
He woke up and freshen up. His stomach grumbled indicating it was time for him to step out of his room and feed himself before he faints and dies.
He woke up and freshen up. His stomach grumbled indicating it was time for him to step out of his room and feed himself before he faints and dies.
The moment he steps into the kitchen he is hit with the delicious aroma of something baking and he could easily guess his hyung baking something for the party. They all were indeed excited today for a much deserving wild Friday night!
__THE PARTY!__

“Jkaayyyy!!! Peek-a-bo!!”
Hoseok was messing up with Jeongguk who seem to have engrossed in his phone reading the stupid thread of messages his boss sent him making him frown!
“yahh Jeongguk, you will get permanent wrinkles if you keep looking like that!”

Jeongguk ultimately broke into giggles seeing his hyung dance and behave crazily. He could never resist his vibrant vibes!
The studio was almost filled. Jeongguk didn’t have much problem mingling as he knows almost all except the new additional members.
The studio was almost filled. Jeongguk didn’t have much problem mingling as he knows almost all except the new additional members.
It was nice having to spend time with his dancer hyungs and listening to them. Jeongguk’s heart however skipped a beat, tuned out whatever the others speak, cause damn an ethereal looking florist who had made Jeongguk fall head over heels right from day 1 just walked in and
Jeongguk doesn’t know how to blink.
He is staring hard the blonde who seems to be unaware of the effect he is having on others. His blond hair and the silver jacket he paired with those sinful tight jeans… was he planning on having a massacre, cause Jeongguk ...

feels like an intoxicated victim willing to die at the sight.
“Woaah! Hyung has a great place in here!”
Taehyung is in awe. It was his first time in stepping in the dance studio. The flickering lights and the edm music is definitely amplifying everything.

He walked in further spotting Hobi along with Hanee and other people. He didn’t know anyone except Hobi and his noona so it was natural of him to be a bit lost but as soon as his eyes landed on someone familiar, he froze.
It was the pair of eyes he was dreaming of every since their last encounter and he couldn’t help but check him out cause damn…
Taehyung never saw Jeongguk in anything other than formals so it is a big surprise and a treat for his eyes
Taehyung never saw Jeongguk in anything other than formals so it is a big surprise and a treat for his eyes
to witness the guy in ripped jeans and the red-sequins jacket with his hair-parting and exposing his forehead, looking like a whole snac to be swallowed instantly. Fortunately for him he could also see the ravenette eyes racking over him as he himself checked the other out.
He could feel his cheeks warm up as he takes small steps towards the other male.
“Hey!”
“Hey Jeongguk”
“Do you want a drink?”
“Yeah! Sure!”

Taehyung doesn’t know how did he end up in this scene. He was sipping on his drink with Jeongguk beside him, thinking on how to strike an actual conversation with the raven head when the lights went off and only a spot light illuminated in the+
+centre of the stage. Hoseok stood there thanking and congratulating his whole dance club. Everyone was ecstatic and Taehyung could clearly see it in Hoseok’s body language that he was ready to dance when suddenly the red-head dancer looked right in their direction and with a+
+knowing smirk he announced,
“Only when Jk joins me on the floor!”
And that was all what it took for the crowd to cheer & howl Jeongguk’s name and the people peeled the reluctant raven-head from Taehyung’s side and ushered him to the large space in the middle to join with Hoseok.
“Only when Jk joins me on the floor!”
And that was all what it took for the crowd to cheer & howl Jeongguk’s name and the people peeled the reluctant raven-head from Taehyung’s side and ushered him to the large space in the middle to join with Hoseok.
Taehyung could clearly see the flushed state of the man, how the blush red adored his skin near the neck to the tips of his ear. The ravenette was clearly embarrassed and funnily, Taehyung is enjoying the sight too much. He didn’t know the other could even dance but if he does,
Taehyung got no idea of what to expect. He could only imagine Jeongguk to know basic dancing not much intense cause why would he be so embarrassed to dance if he is well-trained. Taehyung is definitely expecting some funny childish steps from the doe-eyed! Oh boi,
little does he know….what Jeon Jeongguk is then!!
Jeongguk after much persistence peeled off his jacket handing it to some random person nearby. His mind constantly reminding him of the florist’s presence in the same room and that is enough to make his nerves jittery.

/please, don’t fuck this up/
He keeps chanting.
He can’t allow himself to be humiliated in front of the blonde. He prays all the lords he has knows above in the heaven before the lights go off again.
“LETS GEDDIT!!!”
Lisa screamed in the middle of the crowd,

Lisa screamed in the middle of the crowd,
and the others erupted into a round of laughter. Jeongguk himself smiled knowing why his friend did so. Lisa knows how nervous his friend is and Jeongguk is grateful of the gesture. So, with one last breathe he gets into his position all ready to set the stage on fire.

Taehyung stood on his spot sipping his drink waiting for the performance to begin when the music changed. The edm beats turning into a more sultry track and the lights flickered again, this time to only focus on the stage in the middle and leaving the audience
to stay in the shadows.
As soon as the beats started, Taehyung could literally feel his brain short-circuit. In the middle of the stage was Jeongguk performing with all his energy and Taehyung was not at all prepared for such an act.
As soon as the beats started, Taehyung could literally feel his brain short-circuit. In the middle of the stage was Jeongguk performing with all his energy and Taehyung was not at all prepared for such an act.
The raven head was focused on his performance not once missing out on any beat. His every hit powerful; his every move graceful and clean. The audience was hooting and cheering up everytime he thrust his hips. His confidence was boosting and he couldn’t wait for the performance
to end to see a certain blonde’s reaction.
Taehyung was drinking in the performance not even blinking his eyes. His head was already threading a shit tons of adjectives to compliment the ravenhead but …
Taehyung was drinking in the performance not even blinking his eyes. His head was already threading a shit tons of adjectives to compliment the ravenhead but …
the beat drops and he could see Jeongguk dive into the floor so gracefully, his tshirt ridding up showing him more of the milky skin and hard abs.. and as if that wasn’t enough;
Jeongguk laid on the floor and thrusts his hips up. Taehyung’s breath hitched at the scene, the sinful way Jeongguk thrusts and his hips roll, every inch of his milky skin was setting on fire because Jeongguk right there on stage was doing things that were illegal. Jeongguk then
moves right on his knees and for the first time throughout the performance their eyes meet and Taehyung could see the darkness swirl in the charcoal orbs….the same lust that is now making him sweat in the air-conditioned studio.
The performance finally came to an end and Jeongguk is snapped back to reality. He was engrossed in the track to give his best. He smiles his infamous bunny smile and averts his eyes to the blonde who was gawking at him.
He closes the distance between them to see those warm carmel eyes staring at him back. Jeongguk chuckles and the soft sound brings Taehyung back to reality. He is embarrassed to be caught staring trying his best to avoid the ravenette’s gaze.
Jeongguk just smiled at the flushed state of the florist, it was cute.
To break the awkwardness, Jeongguk decided to say something!
/Stupid brain think something! Ugh! Please man up for once/
Jeongguk has never been this bold, has never actually flirted so he doesn’t even know.

Jeongguk has never been this bold, has never actually flirted so he doesn’t even know.
He looks around to see people gathering on the dance floor. It gives him the idea.
“Would you like to dance?”
The blonde was taken aback by the sudden question. He was not expecting it.
‘I-I can’t dance. I-I mean you dance really good. I don’t do so well.”

“Heyy Kookie, common dance with us!! It’s been long”
He could see hesitance in Jeongguk’s eyes. Therefore, taehyung distanced himself from the group mouthing a “go” to the other and
slipped away to the food counter.
He felt a pang in his chest as he looks from the corner of the eyes how everyone loves Jeongguk and dances with him or how the girl from before is trying to get close to him.
Jeongguk knows everyone is drunk and doesn’t blame anyone.

Jeongguk knows everyone is drunk and doesn’t blame anyone.
They are the people who knew him from years but to see Taehyung alone in the corner engrossed in the phone wasn’t settling well with him. He hadn’t had the chance to apologize properly for being rude earlier and now again he repeated the same mistake.
But he can’t just ignore his hyungs and friends, so he decides to stay for a while before escaping.
Taehyung was standing just near the window. The beautiful city lights never fail to amaze him. The cool winter breeze caressed his face. He felt at peace.
Taehyung was standing just near the window. The beautiful city lights never fail to amaze him. The cool winter breeze caressed his face. He felt at peace.
He had pushed back all his thoughts of Jeongguk and whatever to the back of his mind to enjoy the perfect peaceful moment, away from the flickering lights and deafening music beats. Taehyung is lost in his own world, when he feels someone stand behind him.
He turns abruptly missing his balance only to have a strong arm catch on to his before he falls. Taehyung looks at Jeongguk. The dark corner of the hall and only few lights illuminating his face, to Jeongguk the florist looks absolutely ethereal.
His eyes linger on the beautiful features of his face and sliding down to the soft lips that breaks into a pretty boxy smile. But as much as he wants to keep his thoughts innocent, his mind however runs wild as to how close he is standing to the blonde and +
+how close he is to actually close the gap between their lips.

to lean in to press his lips to the inviting lips of the other. The thought has him to peek his own tongue out and moist his chapped lips and the action making the doe eyes darker.
The two almost in a verge to give into their desire when
The two almost in a verge to give into their desire when
the loud shrilled voiced of Hanee breaks them from their trance.
“TAEHYUNGGG-AAAAHHH”
The florist distances himself from the other. Hanee reaching by his side, looking delirious and undoubtedly drunk.
“Taetae! I am gonna stay tonight with Hobi too! Walk home by yourself”
“TAEHYUNGGG-AAAAHHH”
The florist distances himself from the other. Hanee reaching by his side, looking delirious and undoubtedly drunk.
“Taetae! I am gonna stay tonight with Hobi too! Walk home by yourself”
She just announces. Though the home isn’t much far away, but Taehyung doesn’t want to walk alone in the night.
“Noona! I don’t wanna go alone”
“You’re not a kid”
With that said, Hanee disappears into the crowd. Taehyung pouts at the reply.
“Noona! I don’t wanna go alone”
“You’re not a kid”
With that said, Hanee disappears into the crowd. Taehyung pouts at the reply.
Jeongguk silently watches the scene unfolding and is kind of happy to know that Taehyung would be walking home alone.
/this is your chance!/
Jeongguk clears his voice.
“I can walk you back”

“Wow! That’s amazing! I never knew you were a member in the dance club”
Taehyung was astonished. The roads were vacant as it was almost late and people don’t really roam out in winter nights. He and Jeongguk were walking to his home, both of them falling into easy conversation
Taehyung was astonished. The roads were vacant as it was almost late and people don’t really roam out in winter nights. He and Jeongguk were walking to his home, both of them falling into easy conversation
and Taehyung came to know the reason why Jeongguk was popular among the dance club members. Taehyung was discovering more about Jeongguk.
“Yeah! That was half a year before. Now I am not. I rarely even dance, but yeah!”
“Yeah! That was half a year before. Now I am not. I rarely even dance, but yeah!”
“Why did you leave in the middle though? If you don’t mind me asking cause you were incredible out there”
Taehyung couldn’t help but ask. He couldn’t understand why would Jeongguk opt the whole secretary job when he is clearly happy being a dancer.
Taehyung couldn’t help but ask. He couldn’t understand why would Jeongguk opt the whole secretary job when he is clearly happy being a dancer.
“Uhh! The year I graduated; my dad got into an accident. My brother was in the army and we couldn’t reach him. The situation was pretty messed up and I couldn’t burden them more. So, it was easier if I could earn more for my family than invest their savings in my dreams.”
Taehyung was touched. He hadn’t faced much difficulty since his family was financially good enough for all four siblings. So, to hear Jeongguk sacrifice his dream for his family bloomed a soft corner of Jeongguk in his heart.
“That’s so kind of you.”
“That’s so kind of you.”
Taehyung could only see a genuine smile on the elder before Jeongguk shakes his head and tries to lighten up the conversation.
“Taehyung-shi, I hope you remember. You still owe me a dance.”
Taehyung choked on his spit. Jeongguk laughed at his sudden reaction,
“Taehyung-shi, I hope you remember. You still owe me a dance.”
Taehyung choked on his spit. Jeongguk laughed at his sudden reaction,
his chest rumbling in mirth. Taehyung recovered soon and squinted his eyes!
“We don’t have music to dance Jeongguk-shii”
Well two can play the game. Jeongguk loved how easily both of them fell into the roles and played around.
“We can always sing!”
“We don’t have music to dance Jeongguk-shii”
Well two can play the game. Jeongguk loved how easily both of them fell into the roles and played around.
“We can always sing!”
It was so natural. Jeongguk interlinking their arms as they harmonize to some random funny song, hopping and wiggling like pure druken teenagers. Both had been drunk earlier, the few drinks did make them borderline tipsy but the way they felt; the happiness, it was for first time
Both of them were laughing and giggling, stomping onto each other’s foot when suddenly Jeongguk felt that confidence to pull Taehyung up close. Their laughter fading away and Jeongguk couldn’t help but let stop from wrapping his hand on the blonde’s waist.
Taehyung’s hand automatically found their place over the ravenette’s shoulder. And in the cold winter night with just the wind as music, Jeongguk actually sings.
{Baby I'm falling head over heels}
{Looking for ways to let you know just how I feel}
Jeongguk thinks back to
{Baby I'm falling head over heels}
{Looking for ways to let you know just how I feel}
Jeongguk thinks back to
the first day he saw the blonde. The beautiful hazel eyes that looked into his.
{I wish I was holding you by my side}
{I wouldn't change a thing 'cause finally it's real}
His mind wanders to the time where he dreamt of the blonde being with him.

And now he is actually holding him in his arm and he can’t believe it.

{Finding the magic in the colors of you}
Taehyung knows it. He is falling too fast +
+for a person he barely knows. But the more he knows about him the more he finds it difficult to restrain. He is trying to hold back but his heart is already ahead.
{You're the right time at the right moment}
{You're the sunlight, keeps my heart going}
{You're the right time at the right moment}
{You're the sunlight, keeps my heart going}
They sway to the notes of the song, as if they have rehearsed it a million times before Their steps all in sync, nothing overlapping It’s perfect how they fit with each other
{Oh, know when I'm with you, I can't keep myself from falling}
{Right time at the right moment}
{It's U}
{Oh, know when I'm with you, I can't keep myself from falling}
{Right time at the right moment}
{It's U}
Jeongguk twirls Taehyung one last time before bringing him to back to the initial position.
{You, it's you}
{You, it's you}
Their foreheads joining naturally as the song ends. Their eyes closed enjoying the warmth from the other. The slowly look back.
{You, it's you}
{You, it's you}
Their foreheads joining naturally as the song ends. Their eyes closed enjoying the warmth from the other. The slowly look back.
Their orbs holding all the emotions. And as they keep gazing into each other’s depth they don’t realise they are actually leaning in close… and when they do, none of them are resisting it.

Hanee squints her eyes to find her younger brother. The absence sobers her a bit and she is a bit worried. Then she remembers talking to Taehyung
“Ummm…. I don’t know.”
Hanee squints her eyes to find her younger brother. The absence sobers her a bit and she is a bit worried. Then she remembers talking to Taehyung
about leaving alone, but that was half an hour ago. She searches for her phone to know if Taehyung actually reached home.
“Hello! Jin Oppa! Did Tae reach home?”
“No. Is he not there in the party?”
“Ahh! He already left. He must be on his way. Don’t worry. I will check on him.”

Jeongguk’s heart is thudding hard inside his chest as he feels the warm breath of Taehyung followed by a soft brush of his soft lips. Jeongguk can’t hold back and just wants to press back firmly….
/phone rings/
Taehyung was startled by the sudden intervention.
/phone rings/
Taehyung was startled by the sudden intervention.
The phone on his back pocket was vibrating loud. He quickly stepped away from Jeongguk and fished for his phone.
[NooNA calling…]
Never have Taehyung cursed his sister so bad.
“Noona why are y…”
“Yaah! You brat! It’s been an hour you left. Why haven’t you reached home yet?”
[NooNA calling…]
Never have Taehyung cursed his sister so bad.
“Noona why are y…”
“Yaah! You brat! It’s been an hour you left. Why haven’t you reached home yet?”
“I am on my way Noona. Don’t worry. I am almost there. I just… I am with a friend.”
“Huh! Which friend?”
“Bye Noona. I will text you.”
“Yahh you say which friend, who is-“
“__
Taehyung hung up before he could embarrass himself any further.
“Huh! Which friend?”
“Bye Noona. I will text you.”

Taehyung hung up before he could embarrass himself any further.
He looked at Jeongguk who looks like he guessed the situation. He just smiles and both of them walk silently on the path. Taehyung couldn’t have been more thankful for it.
They were just a block away. So, it didn’t take them much to reach to the doorstep of Taehyung’s house.
They were just a block away. So, it didn’t take them much to reach to the doorstep of Taehyung’s house.
As much as Taehyung wants to invite the elder to his house he knows that his noona by now have filled his Jin hyung’s ear with all information, so he refrains from blurting out anything stupid.
“umm.. Thank you… for walking me home.”
“That’s no problem.”
“umm.. Thank you… for walking me home.”
“That’s no problem.”
Both have no idea what else to say and none of them are moving.
“So, umm I guess that’s it. Goodnight.”
“O-oh yeah Good night taehyung.”
“Bye Gguk.”
“Bye Tae”
Jeongguk has almost turned when a pair of warm lips press to his cheeks. He couldn’t help but gasp at the feeling,
“So, umm I guess that’s it. Goodnight.”
“O-oh yeah Good night taehyung.”
“Bye Gguk.”
“Bye Tae”
Jeongguk has almost turned when a pair of warm lips press to his cheeks. He couldn’t help but gasp at the feeling,
his eyes widening and heart stuttering.
“Take care”
Taehyung whispers before he is storming back into his house. There is a sudden urge of confidence in Jeongguk that makes him grab the blonde’s wrist before he escapes.
“You also owe me a coffee Taehyungshii”

The blonde smiles all rectangular before he mumbles.
“Tomorrow @9am. My shop!”
Jeongguk can’t wait for the sun to rise!

“You look amazing.”
Taehyung blushed. His finger fidgeted nervously as he bit his lower lip. Jeongguk handed over the freshly picked jasmine and lilies bouquet. Taehyung didn’t how Jeongguk came to know about his favourite flowers but he didn’t question much.

Both settled down in their table. The café wasn’t much crowded and Taehyung was thankful for that.
The freshly brewed coffee aroma was strong in the air and the interior felt cozier than all the times he visited the place. He looked at Jeongguk to see him looking at the-
The freshly brewed coffee aroma was strong in the air and the interior felt cozier than all the times he visited the place. He looked at Jeongguk to see him looking at the-
-surroundings as well. The little spark and that inaudible gasp made Taehyung realize that Jeongguk approved of the place he selected. He smiled at himself at the knowledge.
A waitress came by seeking for their order. The both males at once taking hold of their menu.
A waitress came by seeking for their order. The both males at once taking hold of their menu.
Their fingers brushed against each other and Taehyung let go of the menu. His cheeks were flushed and he was sure Jeongguk could see it. He doesn’t understand why is he acting so, but maybe the fact that he might have liked the ravenette that his hormones are behaving all weird.
After the waiter went, they both seem to fall silent again. Taehyung is all wondering in his world fishing of something he can use to start a conversation when Jeongguk chuckles. Confused the blonde looks at the other.
Jeongguk might have guessed the question in his eyes as he proceeds to answer.
“I can’t believe I am sitting with the guy I have always wanted.”
“What?”
“Yeah… since the first day. I thought you had guessed already!”
Taehyung was offended.
“H-How am I supposed to know?”
“I can’t believe I am sitting with the guy I have always wanted.”

“Yeah… since the first day. I thought you had guessed already!”
Taehyung was offended.
“H-How am I supposed to know?”
“Well can’t you hear it?”
“hear what?”
“My heart is ringing for you Taehyung.”
Jeongguk voice is so distant. Like he is being pulled away and his voice suddenly drowning as if the ravenette is faintly mumbling
“What?’
“Kim Taehyung my heart is ringing for you.”
“hear what?”
“My heart is ringing for you Taehyung.”
Jeongguk voice is so distant. Like he is being pulled away and his voice suddenly drowning as if the ravenette is faintly mumbling

“Kim Taehyung my heart is ringing for you.”
“…….is ringing for you”
He can sense the voice fading away and is replaced by something unpleasant shrill
“…….is ringing”
“KIM TAEHYUNG YOUR FUCKING ALARM IS RINGINGGG!!”
Taehyung’s eyes snap open and above his head is his brother Jin shouting holding his table alarm that is-

Taehyung’s eyes snap open and above his head is his brother Jin shouting holding his table alarm that is-
-irritatingly blaring his eardrums. He doesn’t have time to blink his eyes as Jin shoves the clock right towards him and…
8: 40 am
“Oh shit. I am late.”
Taehyung curses for dreaming so long as he dashes towards the bathroom for a quick shower, all his plans of grooming-
8: 40 am
“Oh shit. I am late.”
Taehyung curses for dreaming so long as he dashes towards the bathroom for a quick shower, all his plans of grooming-
-flies out of the window. He doesn’t even wait for the water to heat and waste any of his precious time. The cold shower has his teeth chattering but he pays no mind as he jumps on his bed, grabbing his phone from the night stand and sending Jeongguk a quick message.
Seeing that the situation is still under control, Taehyung uses the time to blow dry his hair and rummages through his closet for a good outfit. He doesn’t have his breakfast and hurries down to get a cab to the location, luckily not forgetting his phone or wallet.
[9:01 am]
Jeongguk pulls out a chair and sits. The interior of the café is autumn themed and hence is all warm and cozy. He can smell the aroma of coffee and freshly baked cupcakes. He has no idea of what Taehyung actually likes so he is nervous of the gift he has brought for him

. He looks at his watch to ensure he is on time.
Through the window he sees a cab pull out and Taehyung scrambles out of it not before flashing a smile and paying to the driver.
Taehyung is amazed to see Jeongguk already standing as if anticipating him soon and-

Taehyung is amazed to see Jeongguk already standing as if anticipating him soon and-
-flashes his adorable bunny smile.
“Hi”
“Heyy”
They both sit in their respective chairs. They smiling at each other but none having the courage to start a conversation. Taehyung pretends to assess the interior of the café when Jeongguk chuckles. Déjà vu.

Taehyung gulps thinking what if his dream is actually coming into live. He holds his breath when Jeongguk opens his mouth to say.
“Umm… I actually don’t know what you like but I hope you will like them.”
Saying that Jeongguk places the box of red-velvet and blue-berry flavoured-
“Umm… I actually don’t know what you like but I hope you will like them.”
Saying that Jeongguk places the box of red-velvet and blue-berry flavoured-
-caramelized-chocolates in front of him. Taehyung was least expecting flowers and here he got a box full of chocolates He fumbled not knowing what to say. He was caught off guard. He looks at Jeongguk who might have understood the fact that taehyung was surprised and hence ducks-
- his head shyly without a word.
The waitress comes by and the males order their food. Nothing romantic happened over the menu card but Taehyung didn’t let that affect his mood and chose to stay content with the box of chocolates. They both make little conversations,
The waitress comes by and the males order their food. Nothing romantic happened over the menu card but Taehyung didn’t let that affect his mood and chose to stay content with the box of chocolates. They both make little conversations,
mostly casual like about weather and about the party the night before to ease the awkwardness. They fell into the flow and after a minute or so, Jeongguk apologizes for being rude and ill-mannered and Taehyung apologizes for the inconsiderate before. They both were in the middle-
-of the conversation when someone stood near their table, starring holes to Taehyung’s side.
“Taehyung.”
The blonde lifts his head to see a person he least expected
“Minho.”, he gasped
Jeongguk felt uncomfortable at the exchange. He could sense the florist’s unpleasantness
“Taehyung.”

Jeongguk felt uncomfortable at the exchange. He could sense the florist’s unpleasantness
on seeing the man but he didn’t know who the hell the person was to even say anything. Plus, Taehyung knew the man so it was Taehyung’s choice afterall.
The tall guy averted his gaze towards Jeongguk, his eyes squinted before he held his hand out and introduced himself.

“Hello. I am Minho… Taehyung’s close friend or as per Taehyung his ex.”
Jeongguk could see Taehyung’s shoulders slouch and fidget in his seat. He knew it in an instant that Taehyung is uncomfortable. But before he could speak, Taehyung is raising his voice of protest.

“What are you doing here Minho? We are over months ago, why do you keep stalking me everywhere.”
“Taehyung what are you talking about. We have just fought that doesn’t make things over between us.”
Taehyung sighs. He is tired of having Minho tailing him every time-
“Taehyung what are you talking about. We have just fought that doesn’t make things over between us.”
Taehyung sighs. He is tired of having Minho tailing him every time-
he is with someone new. He can see Jeongguk eyeing them and Taehyung already feels his patience running low. For once he wanted to have a perfect time with someone but the day just keeps getting worse.
“Minho, I politely ask you to leave.”
“No. I am not leaving you.”
“Minho, I politely ask you to leave.”
“No. I am not leaving you.”
“Please. That’s the last time I request”
Minho could clearly see the irritation morphing into the Taehyung’s features but he isn’t any man if he backs off this easily.
“ Who is he?”
He asks pointing at Jeongguk. Taehyung really needs Minho to leave before he acts out of his line.

He asks pointing at Jeongguk. Taehyung really needs Minho to leave before he acts out of his line.
Before he can even say something, Minho beats to him and is hovering over Jeongguk threatening him to leave Taehyung and the blonde panics and utters something stupid again.
“…..better stay away or els-“
“…..better stay away or els-“
“He isn’t going anywhere Minho. The one who is leaving is you because You are the third person here who is ruining my date with my boyfriend.”
Both Minho and Jeongguk’s eyes’ widen and they together utter a “what” and look at each other with utter confusion.

Minho is the first one to speak.
“Do you think I am gonna believe that. You don’t date that easily Taehyung. I know you.”
Taehyung looks at Jeongguk wishing there was some telepathic communication between them. There is no telepathic communication,
“Do you think I am gonna believe that. You don’t date that easily Taehyung. I know you.”
Taehyung looks at Jeongguk wishing there was some telepathic communication between them. There is no telepathic communication,
but Jeongguk does seem to understand the gravity of the situation and stands up to slide next to Taehyung.
“You’re right we aren’t dating.”
Taehyung can feel the humiliation seep into his skin. He can’t even blame Jeongguk because it was him who lied about them dating.
“You’re right we aren’t dating.”
Taehyung can feel the humiliation seep into his skin. He can’t even blame Jeongguk because it was him who lied about them dating.
But the next moment he feels Jeongguk wrap an arm around his shoulder and looks up at the Jeongguk to firmly gazing at Minho with a calm expression as the ravenette explains.
“You sure know him well, but not better. For someone like Taehyung who values relations so much-
“You sure know him well, but not better. For someone like Taehyung who values relations so much-
-it is obvious he doesn’t want to repeat the same mistake of investing in a relationship that won’t last. (holds Taehyung’s hand) And I am here to prove that I am a man of my words. So, there’s no way I am backing off. So choice is yours Minho-si if you want to compete or let go”
Minho was dumbstruck because, Jeongguk looked so amazing while saying all that that Minho can’t find it in himself to go against. He feels stupid cause he was trying to compete with a man so perfect that his dazzle is hurting his own eyes.
Reluctantly, he mutters a sorry and leaves.
Taehyung too is awestruck by whatever Jeongguk said and how easily he persuaded Minho (as well as him). Jeongguk earns a full score on impressing Taehyung.
As Minho leaves, Jeongguk goes back to his own seat and smiles happily at-

As Minho leaves, Jeongguk goes back to his own seat and smiles happily at-
-Taehyung. Taehyung knows that probably Jeongguk will ask about Minho so before he starts, Taehyung himself is explaining everything to him.
“Minho is my ex. We dated six months ago. He is the business major senior. My dad wanted all of us to study business so we can help him
“Minho is my ex. We dated six months ago. He is the business major senior. My dad wanted all of us to study business so we can help him
-in future. But hyung, noona and me, we all settled to pursue our own passion and interest. Dad was mad at us. But somehow, luckily, my younger brother chose business as his career. Minho was a cool senior and when I asked him to help my brother in studies, he agreed immediately.
That’s why we became close and things lead on to each other.”
“Then why did you break up?”
“As much as cool he was, he didn’t respect other people’s opinion. He would constantly degrade me for opting botany and studying flowers and plants. I remained silent.
“Then why did you break up?”
“As much as cool he was, he didn’t respect other people’s opinion. He would constantly degrade me for opting botany and studying flowers and plants. I remained silent.
He came to know that I invested all my savings on building a florist shop, he got mad saying how lame I was. So, I had to break it off, because I don’t deserve a man who can’t be happy for me or value my dreams.”
“I am so sorry.”
“don’t be. It was months ago. It’s been 3 months
“I am so sorry.”
“don’t be. It was months ago. It’s been 3 months
- since we broke up but he just shows up everywhere and grabs me away. I am glad, you were able to shut him off.”
“My skill classes paid off!”
Jeongguk laughs and Taehyung could feel his insides go warm at the sound of it. He wishes Jeongguk would laugh so more often.

Jeongguk laughs and Taehyung could feel his insides go warm at the sound of it. He wishes Jeongguk would laugh so more often.
Their orders come by and both being hungry dig in instantly. Taehyung was glad, his little date wasn’t ruined.
Both got out of the café to go out and sit by the fountain outside. Taehyung was siping on his pumpkin spiced latte when Jeongguk questions him.

“If Minho is your senior, doesn’t he already know about being committed. Or is it still a secret from him?”
Taehyung was puzzled. Since when is he committed.
“I am sorry. I don’t understand”
“What I mean is Minho proabably sees you in college,
Taehyung was puzzled. Since when is he committed.
“I am sorry. I don’t understand”
“What I mean is Minho proabably sees you in college,
how is it he doesn’t know you are already in a relationship?”
“I am not in any relationship Jeongguk. What are you talking about?”
“What!!”
Jeongguk couldn’t believe on his own ears if he was hearing right. All this while, did he just misread into things; all this while,
“I am not in any relationship Jeongguk. What are you talking about?”
“What!!”
Jeongguk couldn’t believe on his own ears if he was hearing right. All this while, did he just misread into things; all this while,
his assumptions were wrong. He doesn’t understand what to do with the sudden information that’s spilled to him.
“Yeah! I have never gotten into another relation after that ugly break-up with Minho.”
“….then Youngjae?”
“Yeah! I have never gotten into another relation after that ugly break-up with Minho.”
“….then Youngjae?”
“We are best-friends. Ever since high school. We both loved bio and wanted a future in that line. He, however enjoys plants more and wants to be a botanist, I just am more biased towards flowers. So, my purpose of botany is more aesthetic than scientific.
So, its Jae who looks after the tiny garden and plant growth.”
Jeongguk is dumb. Jimin is right when he says the ravenette is the dumbest creature to exist. He can’t believe he just misinterpreted everything and wasted all his time moping when the blonde was actually single.
Jeongguk is dumb. Jimin is right when he says the ravenette is the dumbest creature to exist. He can’t believe he just misinterpreted everything and wasted all his time moping when the blonde was actually single.
He asked for a stupid coffee when he could have asked for a dinner date all because of the ass of a brain he got. Why didn’t he ask about it to Tae earlier, he mentally hits himself.
/Tae is single. He isn’t in any relation./
Jeongguk wants to jump high and laugh in delight.
/Tae is single. He isn’t in any relation./
Jeongguk wants to jump high and laugh in delight.
He can’t help the smile that’s etched on his face and he is sure that Taehyung would find it super creepy, but who cares, Kim Taehyung is single and Jeon Jeongguk doesn’t know how to not be overwhelmed at that. He keeps smiling wide and he has no idea how to stop it. He is just-
“Why are you smiling?”
Taehyung is confused seeing Jeongguk’s weird behavior. One moment he was serious and the other he is smiling, not that Taehyung minds, but it’s creepy when he doesn’t even know why Jeongguk is behaving so.
“Nothing.”
Taehyung is confused seeing Jeongguk’s weird behavior. One moment he was serious and the other he is smiling, not that Taehyung minds, but it’s creepy when he doesn’t even know why Jeongguk is behaving so.
“Nothing.”
Jeongguk mutters before he is back at smiling and getting lost in his own world of happiness. Taehyung doesn’t get a chance to ponder more over it as his phone is vibrating loudly and he sees the thread of messages that’s blaring his phone.
“Shit! Jeongguk I gotta go.”
“W-What? Why?”
“Actually, I had plans to go to shop first to water the plants since its my turn, so I had asked you to meet me there but I just got late so I skipped it for later. But Youngjae just texted he too had forgotten to water the plants-
“W-What? Why?”
“Actually, I had plans to go to shop first to water the plants since its my turn, so I had asked you to meet me there but I just got late so I skipped it for later. But Youngjae just texted he too had forgotten to water the plants-
-as well. It’s fest tomorrow, we can’t tamper the decorative plants.”
“Oh! I can drop you. And help you too. “
“Y-You don’t have to”
But Jeongguk is already dragging them to the car. Taehyung feels giddy looking at their locked hands and how caring Jeongguk is towards him.
“Oh! I can drop you. And help you too. “
“Y-You don’t have to”
But Jeongguk is already dragging them to the car. Taehyung feels giddy looking at their locked hands and how caring Jeongguk is towards him.
Jeongguk is humming and driving, too ecstatic for his own good. They pull out near the shop and Taehyung’s requesting Jeongguk to bring in the small pots from outside to the garden inside after parking and goes inside. Jeongguk parks the car and throws his jacket at the backseat-
- and is still humming as he walks to the shop. His mind still revolving around the good news that he just discovered. He is so engaged in his own dream world he forgets about his pollen allergy and picks up the flower pots and hold them too close.
Bad decision ever.
Bad decision ever.
It’s too late before he realized the situation and his eyes immediately water at it. His eyes itch and the urge to throw the pots and sneeze is too tempting. He dashes inside, haphazardly placing it on floor as he leans on the garden door way and is rubbing his eyes to get rid of
- the irritating itchiness.
Taehyung was watering the plants when he hears Jeongguk placing the pots abruptly. He turns back to see the raventte leaning near the doorway rubbing his eyes and nose.
“What happened?”
Jeongguk stills for a moment hearing Taehyung’s question.

/ Way to ruin first impression Gguk. I can’t tell him I hat flowers and allergic to pollen./
He laughs nervously before he is replying a lame excuse of something getting into his eyes. Taehyung feels like Jeongguk is teasing him or something, so he decides to be playful as well.

“Oh! Do you want water to wash it off?”
Taehyung turns the water hose towards Jeongguk’s face. Jeongguk’s startled at the sudden attack. He tries covering his face but Taehyung keeps playing around, making him wet (no pun intended).
Taehyung turns the water hose towards Jeongguk’s face. Jeongguk’s startled at the sudden attack. He tries covering his face but Taehyung keeps playing around, making him wet (no pun intended).
Jeongguk then lunges forward tackling the blond to take the pipe. Taehyung squeals and try to break through but they both are equally struggling with the pipe. Jeongguk manages to turn Taehyung’s wrist sprinkling water all over his face and sweater.
Both are pushing and pulling, watering the plants long forgotten. Taehyung pushes Jeongguk away as he manages to run away holding the pipe. Jeongguk is all playful and is chasing Taehyung around the little in-house garden.
The floor is all slippery and Taehyung’s foot slips on the puddle of water. Luckily, Jeongguk was within the reach to balance but the weight of both is mismanaged with Taehyung slammed to the door followed by Jeongguk.
The current position has both of their breaths shorten.
The current position has both of their breaths shorten.
Taehyung slammed to the door and Jeongguk in front of him caging him holding to the door’s friction to not fall over Taehyung’s face.
They stare into each other’s eyes and in whole this time, Taehyung is hit with the fact that Jeongguk is all wet and the wet fringes that stick-
They stare into each other’s eyes and in whole this time, Taehyung is hit with the fact that Jeongguk is all wet and the wet fringes that stick-
- to his forehead just makes him look even more handsome. Jeongguk is still in awe of how Taehyung with wet face and wet hair that’s matted over his forehead, manage to look beautiful as ever. The water is still flowing and wetting Jeongguk’s sweater from where Taehyung’s holding
- it yet none of them are paying any attention. Jeongguk shifts on his leg to gain a better balance but ends up being closer to Taehyung. Both of their faces just mere inches apart and Jeongguk’s brain just keeps focusing on the moistened lips of the blonde.
Taehyung doesn’t know why the urge to snap and pull Jeongguk closer is so over powering. If Jeongguk thought the pollens were suffocating from earlier then he surely thinks he was delusional because the tension between them now is ten folds worse.
Jeongguk doesn’t want to over step but that’s all he wants to do at the moment. They both can clearly hear the phone ringing in the front but none of them are breaking away from their locked gaze. The warm breathes hitting each other is pure torture, the slowly hooding eyes even
more unbearable and all they want to succumb to their desire but none lean forward waiting for a signal, trying hard to resist.
“KIM TAEHYUNGGGG WHY WOULDN’T YOU PICK YOUR PHONE”
Taehyung hardly gets time to register what’s happening or why is he hearing-
“KIM TAEHYUNGGGG WHY WOULDN’T YOU PICK YOUR PHONE”
Taehyung hardly gets time to register what’s happening or why is he hearing-
-Jin’s obnoxious scream when the door pushes open from the other side and the blonde is pushed forward landing over Jeongguk on the wet floor with their “mere-inches-apart” lips now pressed together and Jeongguk’s strong arm holding him securely (and maybe pulling a bit closer).
Taehyung isn’t sure if the slight pressure on his lips was intentional or if he is being delusional, but he isn’t given much time as Seokjin is grabbing his nape and pulling him up from crushing the ravenette’s body any further.
Jeongguk was in daze. What just happened?
Jeongguk was in daze. What just happened?
Did he really kiss the florist or was it all a dream all this while. Seokjin is starring daggers at him but he is lost in the feeling of soft lips against his. He doesn’t know how it all happened but he is living the best day of his life.
Taehyung is embarrassed and is-
Taehyung is embarrassed and is-
-helping a very lost Jeongguk to get up from the wet floor. He doesn’t wait for a moment to allow Jin open his mouth to say something stupid and asks Jeongguk to leave.
Jeongguk doesn’t mind at all. He can hear Taehyung and his brother’s argument from distance.
Jeongguk doesn’t mind at all. He can hear Taehyung and his brother’s argument from distance.
He doesn’t wait and goes to his car and drives away in the same wet clothes. He too needs sometime to calm himself down. The day turned out too good to be true. His poor heart can take only so much.
---that evening---
----The Fest day----
“WOAHHH”
Jeongguk shrieked as soon as he entered Jimin’s cabin. He was surprised to see his boss standing there looking tiny in a bright red hanbok that definitely makes him look like a human version of chilly pepper! (sorry jimin-ah!! XD)

Jeongguk shrieked as soon as he entered Jimin’s cabin. He was surprised to see his boss standing there looking tiny in a bright red hanbok that definitely makes him look like a human version of chilly pepper! (sorry jimin-ah!! XD)
Before he could even question, Jimin is already moving around the desk and is standing in front of him asking,
“Do you think wearing a hanbok would impress Haelmoni and she will let me live in peace?”
Jimin’s squints his eyes as if he himself is wondering about his own question.
“Do you think wearing a hanbok would impress Haelmoni and she will let me live in peace?”
Jimin’s squints his eyes as if he himself is wondering about his own question.
“I wonder what it would take to finally let her live me.”
“Mr. Park are you seriously going to wear this?”
“yeah! I would old enough for a speech as well.”
Jeongguk pressed the bridge of his nose trying his best to contain the frustration that was bubbling inside him.
“Mr. Park are you seriously going to wear this?”

Jeongguk pressed the bridge of his nose trying his best to contain the frustration that was bubbling inside him.
Thankfully, inside came a not-so-surprised Yoongi, who burst into fits laughter after looking at the Park Jimin. He assures Jeongguk to dress Jimin himself and Jeongguk can go ahead before all of them become late for the college event.
“Hyung! Don’t I look good ?”
“Hyung! Don’t I look good ?”
“You do. But now isn’t the time. Hurry up”

-for his messy hair. Yoongi would never say it loud, how much he adores the younger. But why would he himself break his own heart when he knows Jimin is straight and there’s no future with them together in it. He sighs and steps closer, buttoning up the extra 3 buttons-
-that the younger deliberately left unbuttoned.
“Hyung! Let it be, it’s-“
Jimin’s lips shut immediately as he looks at Yoongi, so close to him.
“it’s for decency you brat.”
Jimin hardly pays an ear to what Yoongi said.

Jimin’s lips shut immediately as he looks at Yoongi, so close to him.
“it’s for decency you brat.”
Jimin hardly pays an ear to what Yoongi said.
It’s the first time the he was seeing Yoongi so close, his pale skin and how his eyes were focused on buttoning the shirt and later tying a tie around. His lips were muttering some words and Jimin could only guess it was something related to being late.
He doesn’t know why is even observing but the more he observes, the more he notices the unnecessary minute details of the elder, like his long lashes and spotless skin, shape of nose and eyes, soft pink lips that kept muttering something all the while..
“Done”
“Done”
Yoongi finished the knot perfectly before he is stepping away and Jimin is still in trance. He is snapped back to reality when Yoongi drags him to his car and driving him to the college. /I was just caught off guard/ he consoles his restless heart. It will fade away.

Taehyung is tired and just wants to go back to his bed. He has been working since hours decorating the podium and arranging the guest bouquets He wants to strangle Namjoon for assigning him such tasks. He presses on to his dress to remove the creases that were caused from working
The volunteers were stood in a line as Namjoon continues to instruct about what to do and when to do. Taehyung’s work was simple just to present the flower bouquets to the guests There was still time for the guest’s arrival, Namjoon was almost done when Prof.Yeri sauntered to him
The teacher looked pretty in her attire, her hairs all straight and minimal makeup and the pretty blue dress along with the white purse completed her look. She definitely is pretty, but Taehyung doesn’t want to admit it, don’t ask why.
He was standing there waiting along with other volunteers to welcome the guests, when suddenly Yeri stepped closer and fixed her upturned corner of his shirt collar.
That’s when Taehyung noticed it. The beautiful band with a J letter embellished in green jade stone-
That’s when Taehyung noticed it. The beautiful band with a J letter embellished in green jade stone-
-that shone so bright that it stung the florist’s eyes; an ugly reminder that the man he was waiting for belonged someone else. The beautiful memories of yesterday came flooding by like a wave and hit his heart so strong that he almost could hear it cracking.
He gulped the lump and blinked his eyes. He was so caught up in how own bubble that it slipped his mind that the Jeongguk he was dreaming about is not his. His eyes replayed the moment of their accidental kiss; the warmth that he still felt and longed for.
He cursed himself for being selfish for the moment.

Jeongguk checked himself one last time. He was excited to meet Taehyung again. After yesterday’s event, he couldn’t contain his happiness. He fixed his tie; a flower patterned one. He can’t love the real flowers but at least

he can put simple efforts to show Taehyung that he acknowledges his interest as well. He could feel himself glowing when the car stopped in the college parking lot. He got out and waited for Jimin’s car to arrive.
Jimin kept looking outside. He doesn’t understand why -
Jimin kept looking outside. He doesn’t understand why -
-his brain short-circuited; he was just caught in the moment yet he can’t control his eyes from drifting to the elder every other moment. Why didn’t he notice it earlier of how pretty the elder was actually, how handsome he looked with that ebony hair sprawled over his forehead.
He sighed and silently wished for the ride to end soon.
Jeongguk glanced at his watch that it was almost time when the beautiful Porsche rolled in and parked right next to his old vintage car. Jimin got out of the car followed by Yoongi. The males led the way followed by Jeongguk

The college was decorated beautifully. A myriad of colours could be seen depicting the Korean modern and traditional culture. They straight moved to the auditorium where the inauguration of the annual fest was to be held. As soon as the teachers saw them,
they all lined up in respect and the principal welcomed them all to the stage to join the other important dignitaries of the college. Jeongguk’s eyes immediately searched for the florist but to his disappointment he couldn’t find him.
Taehyung tried his best to escape any encounter with the ravenette but it was impossible. He had to step out from the backstage to present bouquets to the guests. He smiled at each of them. His heart however betrayed him when he got to Jeongguk and he couldn’t look into his eyes.
Jeongguk was confused as to why Taehyung wouldn’t acknowledge his presence. He was expecting the beautifully boxy smile but all he got was a frown and ignorance.
/Maybe he is tired or sad he couldn’t participate./
Jeongguk remembered the day Taehyung was ranting-
/Maybe he is tired or sad he couldn’t participate./
Jeongguk remembered the day Taehyung was ranting-
-about his hardwork and flowers being spoiled. He doesn’t dwell much into it and focused on Jimin who was delivering his speech flawlessly. He decided to talk to Taehyung when he finds the next chance.
As the small program came to an end, students vacated the hall
As the small program came to an end, students vacated the hall
to go back to their stations. Jimin and his acquaintances were guided by the teachers to the activities and events conducted. Jimin &Yoongi walked side by side, there was minimum distance between them and everytime their shoulders brushed Jimin’s body would stiff automatically.
Yoongi, however, isn’t much affected and Jimin curses himself because it was only him who was behaving weird. Meanwhile, Yeri had managed to get closer to Jimin and nudged him. His attention was directed to her, but he doesn’t know why he isn’t excited anymore.
Yoongi just glanced back once and saw Jimin with the woman and he knew. It hurt him but he was used to it. He walked ahead without letting his façade fall.
Jeongguk has slipped from the trail and is on his own, searching for the florist to know what was wrong.

He kept looking for him going from stall to stall and section to section. At last, he finally saw him in the botany stall. There were many students in their respective spots explaining something. Taehyung looked so lost that he didn’t notice the ravenette approaching him.
“Hey Taehyung!”
The blonde was startled and soon as he saw Jeongguk, he began panicking on how to avoid interaction. The guilt in his heart kept wrenching it inside and Taehyung just wanted to escape it. He was no home-wrecker, he thought to himself.
“Oh hi!”
“Everything’s okay?”

“Oh hi!”
“Everything’s okay?”
Jeongguk was genuinely worried, Taehyung could see it in his eyes. But if he does interact and dwell himself with Jeongguk he would only rekindle his own feelings instead of extinguishing it and it will only hurt him cause there’s no way -
-Jeongguk likes him to have something at the first place. It’s only him, who will suffer.
“Umm…I am just tired.”
“Why don’t we stroll arou-“
“Actually, I gotta go find Jae, guests must be arriving to the stalls.”
With that being said,
“Umm…I am just tired.”
“Why don’t we stroll arou-“
“Actually, I gotta go find Jae, guests must be arriving to the stalls.”
With that being said,
Taehyung fled away from there as far as possible.
To say Jeongguk wasn’t hurt would be a lie. He was looking forward to spend more time with the florist and know him better. He thought they both were friends seeing they grew pretty close since the party.

But all his assumptions were ditched by Taehyung who very blatantly ignored him.
It's been an hour since then. Jeongguk tried his best to enjoy himself but he couldn’t. Everytime he would see Taehyung, the florist who avert his eyes;
It's been an hour since then. Jeongguk tried his best to enjoy himself but he couldn’t. Everytime he would see Taehyung, the florist who avert his eyes;
everytime he tried to approach he would turn away as if he was some stranger. Jeongguk doesn’t understand the sudden change in behavior. He doesn’t know what wrong he did for Taehyung to avoid him like a plague.
He was still strolling around with an occupied mind -
He was still strolling around with an occupied mind -
-when his eyes fell on the Minho, Taehyung’s ex. His mind worked some stupid alorigthm and he thought probably Minho might have said something to Taehyung to have resulted in such harsh behavior.
With that in his mind, he went ahead to make a last attempt to clear things out with the florist.
He saw him talking to a bunch of people, that looked like visitors of the exhibition. He had a smile that quite didn’t reach his eyes to make them crinkle.

Jeongguk knew something was definitely bothering him and he was determined to confirm his suspicion. Their eyes met, but the blonde was quick to gaze away. Jeongguk’s confidence wavered a bit, but he didn’t let it affect him much.
With much reluctance, he approached Taehyung.
With much reluctance, he approached Taehyung.
“Taehyung” , he called out. But the blonde chose to avoid it.
“Taehyung”, Jeongguk attempted another time yet the florist chose to unhear.
“Taehyung-shhi”, Jeongguk said a bit louder and the florist was about to ignore when one of the visitor told him attend the gentleman while

they explore the other sections of the fest.
Agitated Taehyung turned and replied in the harshest tone he could muster,
“Can’t you see I am busy? Why are you so dense to see I need some space?”
Agitated Taehyung turned and replied in the harshest tone he could muster,
“Can’t you see I am busy? Why are you so dense to see I need some space?”
Jeongguk was… The word hurt won’t suffice. Taehyung could clearly see it in the ravenette’s eyes. He didn’t want to hurt him that bad. But it just happened. He expected angry yells or shout or curse,
but all he received was an inaudible “sorry” in the lowest voice before he watched Jeongguk to step back and go away. He felt stupid for even trying. It was his fault after all for bugging the florist to piss him off. He blamed himself as he exited the college grounds
to go back to the hall nearby the entrance.
Taehyung felt bad, too bad. He didn’t intend to damage things so bad, but it was the only way that would push the ravenette away. And now that he was gone, Taehyung still can’t feel his guilt-burdened heart at peace.

He waited and waited a few minutes, to stop and resist the urge to not run behind and apologize and go back to how they were. His heart and mind in a constant battle. The hurt in Jeongguk’s eyes were flashing in his mind and his heart was a total mess.
Jeongguk held the flowers that Taehyung presented to him in the ceremony. The beautiful yellow and white flowers made him chuckle at the irony; it’s flowers that Jeongguk hates so much and it’s a florist he has fallen for in the first time. The pollens have already started
their magic and Jeongguk is sneezing and rubbing his eyes. He doesn’t want to stay longer. What’s the point after all. He doesn’t want to bother Taehyung, he decided to give him the space he asked for.
He was leaving when he heard his name being called.
He was leaving when he heard his name being called.
“Jeongguk-ssi, Jimin was sear- Omo! What happened?’
Yeri shrieked in surprise to see Jeongguk’s red eyes and brimming tears. She kept a concerning hand on his arm and stepped closer to look why Jeongguk was rubbing his eyes.
“i..I just don’t feel well. Please inform him I left”

“Are you really okay though?’
“yeah! I am just allergic to flowers. But it would rude of me to just throw them away.”
“Aigoo! You are so cute” Yeri shifted her hand to cup one side of Jeongguk’s face affectionately.
Taehyung saw the scene unfold from far.

Taehyung saw the scene unfold from far.
He couldn’t listen to them talk but to see Jeongguk wiping his tears he assumed the worst scenario of Jeongguk feeling guilty and confessing about his accidental kiss to his girlfriend and both having some sort of misunderstanding. His heart hurt more,
thinking he is the reason of everything. Unable to stand it, he runs away from there to the top floors of the building where no one’s present to witness his agony.
“Are you sure you will be okay?’ Yeri asked once again and Jeongguk nodded his head -
“Are you sure you will be okay?’ Yeri asked once again and Jeongguk nodded his head -
while rubbing his nose and sniffling. Yeri bid him farewell and Jeongguk clutching the flowers went to his car and drove away.

[MATURE SCENE AHEAD only read if you are comfortable]
“Ahhh”
Yeri moaned at the sensation of lips grazing her sweet spot near her collarbones.

[MATURE SCENE AHEAD only read if you are comfortable]
“Ahhh”
Yeri moaned at the sensation of lips grazing her sweet spot near her collarbones.
The feeling of plump soft lips and tongue licking her neck was setting her body in fire. Jimin’s strong arms gripped her waist tightly as if to gain some control over himself. He doesn’t want to think about a certain man with pale skin and thin lips.
He raises his head and slams his lips on Yeri’s; they were soft and tasted like cherries yet his mind wandered to if that’s the taste of those thin lips of Yoongi. His hand groped the flesh of her thighs to lift her to the desk. Yeri immediately wraps her legs around -
Jimin’s waist and the male’s hand pushes her dress high up till her lacy panties were visible. Jimin dives to kiss her collarbones while his hands tried to unhook the dress from behind. Everything was so messy in his head that he couldn’t even concentrate to unzip the dress.
He was getting frustrated with his own mind that was clouded by the thoughts of the ebony-haired male.
His eyes blinked back to the memories when he first met Yoongi.
///FLASHBACKS///
Jimin had just graduated and was finally coming to home.

///FLASHBACKS///
Jimin had just graduated and was finally coming to home.
It was one of those lazy afternoons when his father brought in someone to meet him.
“Hello. I am Min Yoongi.” , Jimin was in awe at the confidence that radiated from the male. He was flattered instantly.

It was two weeks later, Jimin was packing his bags again to fly to Tokyo, with Yoongi, to learn business.
They both stayed in the same apartment, but different rooms.
Jimin woke up early to prepare breakfast for both of them, but the kitchen was already smelling-

Jimin woke up early to prepare breakfast for both of them, but the kitchen was already smelling-
-like chocolate waffles. No one has cooked something for him ever. It’s always the maids or the fancy hotels.
So, when he hears Yoongi’s voice yelling him to eat breakfast, he couldn’t help but blink the happy tears and jump to the breakfast counter.

“Congratulations”
Min Yoongi shook hands with the older businessmen before the rest were vacating the conference hall.
Jimin slumped into his chair. He had brought in the wrong files yet Yoongi managed to the pull it off effortlessly without failing.

Jimin slumped into his chair. He had brought in the wrong files yet Yoongi managed to the pull it off effortlessly without failing.
The guilt and disappointment settled heavy on his heart and tears welled up in his eyes.
“I can never be as perfect as you. I am useless.”
He muttered to the elder who was standing by his side. He was ready to hear an hour-long scolding for being irresponsible-
“I can never be as perfect as you. I am useless.”
He muttered to the elder who was standing by his side. He was ready to hear an hour-long scolding for being irresponsible-
- but all he got was a ruffle to his hair and a gummy smile and words that will forever remain with him.
“It’s alright. Mistakes happen. Don’t be too harsh on yourself”
It’s been two months since he has shifted with Yoongi.

It’s been two months since he has shifted with Yoongi.
The summers have passed and the clouds are already raining. It was during the night, when the storm hit hard. The thunders roaring loud enough to rattle the windows. Jimin couldn’t help but feel sick and lonely.
With hesitant steps and a pillow in his hand he knocked on the door
With hesitant steps and a pillow in his hand he knocked on the door
-of the other room. Yoongi chuckled at the scared boy but didn’t mock him. He simply ushered him to the other side of the bed and when he saw the apologetic eyes of Jimin he said in the softest voice,
“It’s okay to be scared. It’s only humane to have fears”
“It’s okay to be scared. It’s only humane to have fears”
Jimin could no longer decide what was softer, the words or the gesture of the elder pulling the duvet up to his chin and ruffling his hair before resuming to sleep on the other side of the bed. Whatever it was, Jimin was no longer scared of thunders.
Jimin would anticipate for such moments. Moments, where he is allowed to do something for the elder and not the usual other way around. He tiptoes holding the black furry blanket as he approaches the other who happened to have fallen asleep on the chair while working.
The winters were a bit harsh but Jimin’s heart warmed up knowing the elder is warm and comfortable. He can’t help his little hand that deliberately brushes the soft skin of his jaw everytime he does it.
Happily, he tiptoed back to his bed and crawled back under the warm cover with a warmer heart to sleep.
Jimin hung his head low standing in the corner watching Yoongi clean the kitchen.
“I was just trying hyung. I didn’t know this would happen.”
Yoongi turns around and sighs.

Yoongi turns around and sighs.
“I know and I am not mad. It’s just, stay away from things you don’t know about. It may hurt you. It’s for your own good.”
And Jimin believed him. Believed that Yoongi will always advise for his own good. He believed in everything the elder said.
And Jimin believed him. Believed that Yoongi will always advise for his own good. He believed in everything the elder said.
And maybe that’s why when one day Jimin found the elder’s diary with a ripped page and scribbles of “first love” on it, he broke. He tried asking the elder but he just shut him and Jimin was used to believe in everything the elder said.
So, he believed that…..he doesn’t know about the elder enough and it will hurt him.
So, he stays aways.
Because, he is scared and it’s only humane to have fears.
And so, he moves on because he is only human and humans make mistakes. He shouldn’t be too harsh on himself.
So, he stays aways.
Because, he is scared and it’s only humane to have fears.
And so, he moves on because he is only human and humans make mistakes. He shouldn’t be too harsh on himself.
He goes back to the day, where he first met Yoongi, a pale man with height same as his and tone deep and heavy….who was only someone he admired and nothing more.
///FLASHBACK ENDS///
///FLASHBACK ENDS///
Jimin tried to shut his mind. He doesn’t know why all those that he kept locked up was surfacing back. In anger clogging his mind he ripped the intricate red lace panties. Yeri struggled to open his belt and unzip his pants. Jimin groped her ass trying as hard to pull her
dress down her chest while his lips sucked on her skin. Yeri pushed down the pants and palmed his half hard bulge over his underwear. Jimin grunted at the sensation before grinding his bulge on her dripping core making Yeri go insane-
-and moan loud enough to resonate in the empty classroom.

It's been half an hour since Taehyung is sitting on the edge of the terrace. The music from the festival was faint. His mind was running over the events that all happened ever since the night of the party.

It's been half an hour since Taehyung is sitting on the edge of the terrace. The music from the festival was faint. His mind was running over the events that all happened ever since the night of the party.
The beautiful voice of Jeongguk singing and how at peace his heart felt when they rested their foreheads against each other’s. His mind zoomed back to the day when he first met Jeongguk and was instantly in a daze to see how beautiful the other looked even with red swollen eyes.
Taehyung had guessed he brought flowers for his girlfriend to convince her after a fight. Taehyung had always dreamed of a man who would do such a thing for him, not the cliché expensive presents but something sweet as flowers.
The day of their breakfast when Jeongguk handed him chocolates, Taehyung’s bucket-list of a perfect life partner was found in Jeongguk, who would spoil him with chocolates instead of some fancy restaurant food. He chuckled bitterly at himself-
-of how easily he was blinded by his own infatuation that he blocked the reality.
The guilt and regret were extreme. He decided to walk back home instead of staying in the fest when he is totally not in a mood to enjoy. He descended the stairs slowly. He was on the second floor,
The guilt and regret were extreme. He decided to walk back home instead of staying in the fest when he is totally not in a mood to enjoy. He descended the stairs slowly. He was on the second floor,
when he heard the noises and grunts. He thought someone was in trouble and rushed to help but his feet came to the abrupt halt when he heard it.
“Jimin-aah! “
He hesitantly walked closer to the classroom from where the noise came. He could hear the constant moaning-
“Jimin-aah! “
He hesitantly walked closer to the classroom from where the noise came. He could hear the constant moaning-
-and scarping of desks. His mind was screaming at him to turn away and run but his curiosity was way higher. He stepped closer to the classroom and peeked in. His eyes widened at the sight. His heart almost stopped beating for a second to see his own Professor, Yeri strangling
the CEO who was pounding restlessly into the brunette. He gasped when he saw the familiar watch on the CEO’s wrist. He was taken aback. Soundlessly he stepped away from the class. His heart was racing a million times faster and he ran away from there out of the building.
He ran to the fest and searched for the ravenette to tell him but couldn’t find him anywhere.
He was still in shock to see Yeri with another man…..cheating on Jeongguk.
He doesn’t even know how will he ever say it to him.
He was still in shock to see Yeri with another man…..cheating on Jeongguk.

He doesn’t have the courage to face the ravenette either. What the hell is happening with him…!!!
/I wish I didn't hurt you...I wish I was the one for you...be the one you deserve to be with....i wish I could protect you from this heartbreak...I wish you fell for me Gguk/

It’s the nth time Tae tosses around, he is tired but the bed doesn’t bring him the comfort he is searching for. His eyes are wide open and all that flashes behind those lids are glimpses of Jeongguk – smiling Jeongguk; giggling Jeongguk; shocked Jeongguk; soft Jeongguk…
hurt Jeongguk.
It’s an ugly punch in his gut. The regret weighs heavy for pushing away the ravenette. His mind wanders to the uncensored images of what he saw in the empty classroom. The short breaths, grunts and moans all fresh in his mind, even if it all happened 2 days ago.
It’s an ugly punch in his gut. The regret weighs heavy for pushing away the ravenette. His mind wanders to the uncensored images of what he saw in the empty classroom. The short breaths, grunts and moans all fresh in his mind, even if it all happened 2 days ago.
It’s been 2 days without seeing Jeongguk ; 2 days of observing Yeri making moves on Jimin. From whatever he observed it’s always Yeri chasing Jimin and Jimin following her. The festival is finally over and he doesn’t want to go to college again.
He waited for Jeongguk, a text or call; something that will tell him that the ravenette isn’t mad at him. It’s been 2 days of him debating with his ownself if he should tell Jeongguk about Yeri’s affair, 2 days of him questioning why would even Jeongguk believe him,
they aren’t that close either. He huffs and gets out of the bed. He can’t clear his mind. He goes to the kitchen, grabs the strawberry milkshake from the refrigerator and hops on the stool. He is too lost in his web of thoughts he doesn’t notice Hani standing beside him.
“Tae-“
“Tae-“
“AHHH! Noona! Ah! You scared me”
Hanee could see the dark circles underneath his brother’s eyes. She knows something has been bothering him. She could tell it in one glance. She sits next to him.
“What is it? I know something is bothering you?”
Hanee asks. Taehyung is shocked,
Hanee could see the dark circles underneath his brother’s eyes. She knows something has been bothering him. She could tell it in one glance. She sits next to him.
“What is it? I know something is bothering you?”
Hanee asks. Taehyung is shocked,
even after years she can read him just like the way she used to when they were kids, when Tae ruined Jin’s ingredients and was scared to confess Hane helped him search for those exotic spices for three long hours; or the time when Taehyung hesitated to accept the business course,
Hanee encouraged him to follow his passion, she has always been there like a silent guardian angel. So, as much as he is shocked to see Hani reading his mind like an open book, he is glad to have someone he can lean on. Hanee has always been a good advisor.
“It’s just…it’s not about me but somehow I am trapped.”
“Who is it about then?”
“A….friend. The girl he is dating, I saw her making out with someone else. And I don’t know if I should tell him or not or how do I tell him….it’s a mess.”
“Who is it about then?”
“A….friend. The girl he is dating, I saw her making out with someone else. And I don’t know if I should tell him or not or how do I tell him….it’s a mess.”
Hanee stays silent for a while pondering on the words Taehyung just said.
“I guess you shouldn’t tell him anything”, she advises. Taehyung is offended.
“What? But the girl’s cheating. How can I let it slide?”
Hanee calmly turns to her brother-
“I guess you shouldn’t tell him anything”, she advises. Taehyung is offended.
“What? But the girl’s cheating. How can I let it slide?”
Hanee calmly turns to her brother-
- and takes his hands giving it a squeeze.
“Taetae. Listen here. Relationships are complicated. You don’t choose who you like. It’s spontaneous. She might have fallen out of love and I know it’s not you friend’s fault but she can’t control how she feels about things.
“Taetae. Listen here. Relationships are complicated. You don’t choose who you like. It’s spontaneous. She might have fallen out of love and I know it’s not you friend’s fault but she can’t control how she feels about things.
She might like that someone else and is searching for the right time to confront your friend. You involving and spilling information would break the relationship on an ugly note.
If they need a closure, it has to end on good term and that is possible when they come clean on their own.”
Taehyung can clearly see the depth of Hanee’s words and the gravity of the situation. Hanee was right, him involving would only mess things up.

He smiles at his sister and envelopes her in a hug thanking her. Taehyung is really grateful for having her in his life.

It's the third day and Jeongguk presses the backspace again. He has been doing the same thing past three days. He doesn’t know when it would be appropriate-
-to send Taehyung a message. Every time he types, his mind conjures up the memories of the blonde being mad at him and he presses the backspace option relentlessly. The ambiance in the office, specifically his boss who suddenly seem so distant is keeping on his toes nevertheless.
Jimin isn’t in his happiest, isn’t bringing over girls and the girls who persistently show up don’t stay more than 45 minutes and as much as Jeongguk wants to be happy about it he can’t because he knows Jimin isn’t happy and that worries him.
He knocks on the glass door and gets in. Jimin is going through the files when Jeongguk stands in front of him.
“Sir, you have a meeting with the SM in an hour.”
“Yeah. I have the presentation with me.”
The boss looks like he is engrossed in his work, but Jeongguk knows better.

“Jimin-ssi are you okay?”
Jimin looks up and sees genuine concern in the doe eyes. He isn’t gloomy but just confused because he isn’t able to put a lid back on his undisclosed feelings. From the past days, he is trying but failing and the more he thinks about the other guy-
Jimin looks up and sees genuine concern in the doe eyes. He isn’t gloomy but just confused because he isn’t able to put a lid back on his undisclosed feelings. From the past days, he is trying but failing and the more he thinks about the other guy-
-he can’t focus on others. He sighs.
“ I am fine Jeongguk. It’s just I am confused regarding a few things.”
“Is it about someone you like? Is it about that 1st girlfriend?”
Jimin for a second was confused to what Jeongguk was saying, then it clicked him.
“ I am fine Jeongguk. It’s just I am confused regarding a few things.”
“Is it about someone you like? Is it about that 1st girlfriend?”
Jimin for a second was confused to what Jeongguk was saying, then it clicked him.
He needed some advice but doesn’t have to be discreet about it.
“Let’s assume that…. I am thinking about her. Why would you say it’s someone I like?”
“Because you hardly think so deeply about anyone. You have a mischief glint when you think of others,
“Let’s assume that…. I am thinking about her. Why would you say it’s someone I like?”
“Because you hardly think so deeply about anyone. You have a mischief glint when you think of others,
that deep serious look is very rare.”
“Why would you specifically think it’s 1st one?”
Jeongguk chuckles before explaining.
“Because of many things…I have seen all of your girlfriends except her. You never ask me to deliver flowers or any other gift to her house yet -
“Why would you specifically think it’s 1st one?”
Jeongguk chuckles before explaining.
“Because of many things…I have seen all of your girlfriends except her. You never ask me to deliver flowers or any other gift to her house yet -
-you never forget her birthday. While other’s get Prada and Chanel gifts you get her simplest stuff like coffee-stained paper diaries. Your entire mail account doesn’t have a single mail to her but you send all those presents through post without even writing your name-
-or information. You don’t do that for others…only her…your first girlfriend……..Yoonji.”
Jimin’s astonished at how closely he has been observed by his secretary, but whatever he said was true, except two things…. that the person wasn’t a girl
Jimin’s astonished at how closely he has been observed by his secretary, but whatever he said was true, except two things…. that the person wasn’t a girl
with a single letter difference…Yoongi….and he was never his to label him as his 1st girl(boy)friend.
“You sure know a lot of things Jeongguk-ssi, but she is…too far to reach”
“Well, then you should run, cause you surely like her a lot. You shouldn’t stop.”
“You sure know a lot of things Jeongguk-ssi, but she is…too far to reach”

/I wish I could run, but I am scared to be hurt. But then, I am still hurting …even now. Should I really chase you Yoongi? Is it worth?”/

Patience is the ability to count down before you blast off and Jeon Jeongguk is on the verge of counting his last numbers-
before he blasts off. He is a nice person but even the nicest person has a patience limit. He slurps the spicy noodles noisily. The convenience story lady is staring daggers at him along with the few customers but who cares.
His tongue burns and his throat as well and the whole god damn food pipe but he continues to eat the spiciest noodles with at least 10 packets of seasonings tumbled into the huge tub he found in the last rack of the noodle section.
~after the talk with Jimin that day, Jeongguk decided to stick to his own words and be persistent. He was aware that Taehyung’s university fest had been over and so he texts the blonde to talk things out..to know why he reacted such a way….but!
Jeongguk shook that feeling, didn’t allow his spirit to fall flat on ground and decided to try harder. Two days later he went to the florist’s shop. Taehyung was wrapping flowers into a bouquet when Jeongguk approached him.
“hey Taehyung”
“hey Taehyung”
The blonde looked at him and uttered a disinterested “hi” and resumed back to his work. Jeongguk patiently waited for the blonde to finish his work. Taehyung handed the flowers to the other customer present and turned away without acknowledging his presence.
“Taehyung…I wanted to-“
“I am busy Jeongguk-ssi I already told you.”
“I just wanna talk” Jeongguk pressed further. He was growing agitated and sad over why Taehyung suddenly is behaving so distant and won’t even say the reason."

“Why are you persistent Jeongguk-ssi? Can’t you take a hint?”
Taehyung turned away leaving behind Jeongguk with the same disappointment and cracked heart.
Jeongguk didn’t intend to be irritated at the florist but a few days later when they crossed paths in a mall,

Jeongguk didn’t intend to be irritated at the florist but a few days later when they crossed paths in a mall,
the blonde harshly averted away his eyes as if Jeongguk was some creepy stranger. It hurt him deep, sparking to more of his irritation.~~~
Jeongguk chokes on the noodles for swallowing them fast. His eyes blink away the tears that slide down cheeks.

But he doesn’t stop, continues to eat the spicy ramyeon sniffling and wiping his nose with the tissue.

~~A week later after that encounter Jeongguk got determined again. He picked up the fresh tulips, even though it suffocated him, and stood in front of -
-Taehyung’s university gates. He wanted to genuinely sort things out and hence waited holding the tulips for whole 20 minutes despite his allergy. He saw the blonde walking towards him with earplugs stuck to his ears.
But what happened next shattered his heart completely.
But what happened next shattered his heart completely.
The moment their eyes met, Taehyung not just averted them but walked past Jeongguk to the person the blonde claimed to resent with all his heart- Minho. Taehyung interlinked their hands and smiled at Minho, before saying the words that slashed Jeongguk’s deeper than sword.
“I hope you don’t mind Minho, people these days can’t take a hint and keep bothering no matter.”
Taehyung turned towards him. Jeongguk’s eyes were watered all because of the flowers but he was too caught up to even rub his eyes.
Taehyung turned towards him. Jeongguk’s eyes were watered all because of the flowers but he was too caught up to even rub his eyes.
He let his tear roll down, a mild flicker of hope to see Taehyung’s concern or anything. But…Taehyung just walked away and damn did Jeongguk not feel his heart kicked like a soccer ball.
Was it the reason Tehyung avoided him all these days?
He really is a clown~~~
Was it the reason Tehyung avoided him all these days?
He really is a clown~~~
Jeongguk’s taste buds by now are all on flame. It burns like anything and his eyes constantly water up. He doesn’t like spicy food but the boy’s pride is hurt today. The tulips have wilted in the store dustbin where he has dumped them and he can clearly see them from the-
-spot he is sitting and gulping the noodles. The tulips keep reminding him of the humiliation he faced and he wipes his tears harshly. His lips burn from all the slurping but his heart hurts more.
A warm hand is placed on him and he looks up to see a familiar face.
A warm hand is placed on him and he looks up to see a familiar face.
He doesn’t remember where he has seen him but he can surely say he has seen him earlier somewhere. He tries to think but his mind is already too occupied to think of anything.
“if you keep eating the over-spicy food at that rate you will soon have ulcers in you stomach lining.”
“if you keep eating the over-spicy food at that rate you will soon have ulcers in you stomach lining.”
Jeongguk wipes his already red nose and his doe eyes blink the other wave of tear in a questioning manner.
“I am a master in nutrition.”, the other man replied.
“But I can clearly see you don’t like spicy food or even tolerate it…so why are you even eating it?”
He continued.
“I am a master in nutrition.”, the other man replied.
“But I can clearly see you don’t like spicy food or even tolerate it…so why are you even eating it?”
He continued.
Jeongguk doesn’t wanna look like a kid but how is supposed to explain that he is hurt and angry and crying would look stupid so he is eating spicy noodles to have a reason. He pouts in silence and feels the man ruffle his hair and pulling out the stool next to him.
“Drink this”
“Drink this”
The man with the broad shoulders passed a bottle of banana milk towards him. Jeongguk looks at it fondly but hesitates.
“We shouldn’t take stuffs from strangers.”
The man beside chuckles and offers,
“We shouldn’t take stuffs from strangers.”
The man beside chuckles and offers,
“I am Jin. And I stay nearby if you want my identity card! See, now I am not a stranger.”
Jeongguk smiles his bunny smile and his watery eyes crinkle a bit, and before he could think his hands as if on autopilot are already flying to the banana milk and
Jeongguk smiles his bunny smile and his watery eyes crinkle a bit, and before he could think his hands as if on autopilot are already flying to the banana milk and
lips sipping to it like it’s the most precious drink in the world. The cold banana milk pacifies his burning mouth and throat. He turns to the man who watches with a fond expression and thanks him.
“Thanks Jin hyung”

Taehyung is sniffling under the sheets clutching to his pillow. He hates himself to the point he wishes to drown in his own tears. He has shut off the curtains, the afternoon sun no matter how bright is unable to peek inside the room.
Taehyung wasn’t expecting Jeongguk to go to such great lengths of waiting near his college. He is trying not to get involved into his personal matter but the ravenette is way too insistent on knowing things and Taehyung doesn’t want to be the reason for anything bad in his life.
But he ultimately has become everything bad by avoiding the male numerous times and hurting him to the extent he saw Jeongguk’s tears. It was low of him, he accepts but he panicked seeing Jeongguk and Minho was suddenly visible and the only way he could have avoided Jeongguk in-
-a way he would never come back. So, despite his unwillingness to be with Minho, he chose that instead of confronting Jeongguk.
He doesn’t want to lie to the ravenette and neither wants to get into a position where his feelings would cause him suffering. It’s best if he avoids.
He doesn’t want to lie to the ravenette and neither wants to get into a position where his feelings would cause him suffering. It’s best if he avoids.
And it’s best if he cries to the sheets than talking to the other, because that’s what he deserves. He deserves to stay away from Jeongguk.

“Woah! You are a Youtuber!”,
Jeongguk exclaimed in pure delight. After sitting for an hour with Jin both have managed to mix up pretty quickly. Jin is way too affectionate and Jeongguk’s broken heart was soaring in it.
Jeongguk exclaimed in pure delight. After sitting for an hour with Jin both have managed to mix up pretty quickly. Jin is way too affectionate and Jeongguk’s broken heart was soaring in it.
The elder even handed him his own baked cupcakes that he carried in his bag because when Jeongguk told him the vague idea of what had happened that led him to eating spicy ramyeon, Jin couldn’t stop himself from cradling the younger and buying him enough sweet and-
-healthy food to pacify the burning of his food tract.
Jin’s motherly instincts kicked in the moment he saw Jeongguk munching on food and crying. He naturally felt affectionate towards the younger and when he gazed into the pretty doe eyes he was a goner.

They both talked for hours and Jin even decided to drop Jeongguk instead of letting him walk under the hot afternoon sun. Jeongguk gladly slipped in licking his vanilla ice-cream. Jin’s happy to help Jeongguk.
However, there’s a frown when he pulled out infront of..
However, there’s a frown when he pulled out infront of..
..a familiar building. Jeongguk is quick to notice it and question him.
“Hyung. Is everything alright?”
“Yeah! I know this place. My younger sister’s boyfriend stays here.”
“Oh That’s great! What’s his apartment number? I might know him”
“Hyung. Is everything alright?”
“Yeah! I know this place. My younger sister’s boyfriend stays here.”
“Oh That’s great! What’s his apartment number? I might know him”
“AH!! I don’t remember those petty details. You go and take rest. I have to go back as well.”
They both exchange phone numbers before leaving and Jeongguk is happy of the outcome. Even if he couldn’t resolve his issue with Taehyung atleast he made a new friend.

Jin entered the house and dropped the bags on the counter. The hot blazing sun almost unbearable. He was slouched on the living room couch when he heard loud sniffles and immediately recognizes the sound. He is quick to unlock Taehyung’s door with the other key.
His brother was crying and he was too impatient to follow the code of privacy.
“Taehyung-ah! What happened? Why are you crying?”
Taehyung doesn’t say anything and continues to sob.
“Aisshh!! Kids these days. Every where I go someone or the other is crying.
“Taehyung-ah! What happened? Why are you crying?”
Taehyung doesn’t say anything and continues to sob.
“Aisshh!! Kids these days. Every where I go someone or the other is crying.
In the store that ramyeon kid and here you”
Jin hugs Taehyung’s whimpering figure over the blanket and Taehyung somehow manages to hug back.
“Yaahh! What do you call a pig that does karate?”
“I don’t know”
“A pork chop”
Jin bursts out on his own holding a Taehyung who was trying

- his best not to give in.
“Okk! Another one. What does a nut say when it sneezes?

Taehyung cackles up at the sound Jin makes and both burst into giggles and laughter. Even if Jin isn’t as sensitive as Hanee, he surely cares about his family and

Taehyung cackles up at the sound Jin makes and both burst into giggles and laughter. Even if Jin isn’t as sensitive as Hanee, he surely cares about his family and
Taehyung can feel the warmth of it when Jin drags him out to kitchen to feed him the remaining pastries that Jeongguk didn’t eat. Taehyung melts in the taste of fresh butter cream and hopes his problems would melt away as well.

“YAAYYYYYYYYY”
Jin screams and jumps on the bed. His eyes sparkling with excitement and mirth. Hanee and Taehyung are soon to rush into their hyung’s room.
“Yah! Oppa…do you even know what time it is for you to scream like that?”
Jin screams and jumps on the bed. His eyes sparkling with excitement and mirth. Hanee and Taehyung are soon to rush into their hyung’s room.
“Yah! Oppa…do you even know what time it is for you to scream like that?”
Jin doesn’t pay attention to the disrespect in the speech and is running towards them with their phone.
“Look at this. I got 2 million subscribers. I saw sure it was 1.5million the last time I checked. Within a day I reached 2 million.”
“Look at this. I got 2 million subscribers. I saw sure it was 1.5million the last time I checked. Within a day I reached 2 million.”
Jin’s happiness was blinding, both Taehyung and Hanee could see how ecstatic the elder is.
“Ahh! That ramyeon kid is really lucky! After meeting him it happened. Ahh! We need to celebrate it.”
And that’s how Hanee and Taehyung were kicked out of the house to get him groceries-

“Yaahh! Jeon Jeongguk, do you have no love for your job?”,
Jimin hissed through the phone. He is cooped up in the men’s toilet, constantly keeping his eye on the door.
“Jimin-ssi, I still don’t understand what are you talking about.”

Jimin hissed through the phone. He is cooped up in the men’s toilet, constantly keeping his eye on the door.
“Jimin-ssi, I still don’t understand what are you talking about.”
“Don’t you pull that card. It was your responsibility to book a room for me in the Tokyo’s hotel.”
“And I did that.”
“You booked one room Jeon Jeongguk. Yoongi hyung is here with me. There are no other rooms available. How are we supposed to stay in one booked room?”
“And I did that.”
“You booked one room Jeon Jeongguk. Yoongi hyung is here with me. There are no other rooms available. How are we supposed to stay in one booked room?”
“Uhhh…..by sharing. Sir, you informed me at the last moment and by then hotel rooms were all occupied. You weren’t picking up my phone so I asked Yoongi-ssi and he told me you both would manage in a single room.”
“What? Hyung agreed on sharing one room?”
“What? Hyung agreed on sharing one room?”
“Yes. He said it’s only for two nights and hence wasn’t a big deal”
Jimin hung up the phone quickly.
/It’s just two nights Jimin. Just two nights./
well, a lot can happen in two nights.

---Meanwhile----
Jeongguk looked one last time in the rear before getting out of his car. He got some wine for the celebration, because first, flowers were totally not an option and second, he couldn’t take pastries to the one who owns a flood vlogging channel.
He smiles happily and walks his way.
/the house looks oddly familiar like Tae’s house. Maybe the neighbourhood got same style of house/
Jeongguk doesn’t dwell much. He doesn’t want to think about the blonde after what he did 3 days ago.

Jeongguk doesn’t dwell much. He doesn’t want to think about the blonde after what he did 3 days ago.
Jeongguk rings the door bell patiently waiting on the other side of the door. The night isn’t as chilled as he thought it would be. The breeze has a tone of warmth, indicating the spring days are going to bloom soon. The happy sounds of laughter are faintly heard-
-from the other side. The door cracks open to a smiling Seokjin dressed in a fluffy beige hoodie, looking warm and flushed cheeks from probably laughing out too loud.
“Jeongguk-ah! Come in”
Jeongguk happily steps inside the house.
“Jeongguk-ah! Come in”
Jeongguk happily steps inside the house.
The aroma of pecan butter cream and strawberries quite vivid. There are scented candles as well burning in the corners. Jeongguk is ushered to the living room, which surprisingly is vacant, which is odd as there is suppose to be a celebration.
“Don’t worry! Everyone’s here but are occupied. Plus, I like to invite only minimum people.”
Jeongguk is seated as Seokjin disappears to the kitchen probably. A tall man with specs soon joins him and Jeongguk can see that the person is definitely elder.

“Ahh! Jeongguk-ssi! How are you?”
Jeongguk is confused because he doesn’t remember meeting the man earlier.
“Ahh! I am Kim Namjoon. We met in the Kyungshuk University Fest.”
Jeongguk nods not wanting to seem rude. He assumes the professor to be a friend of Seokjin-

“Ahh! I am Kim Namjoon. We met in the Kyungshuk University Fest.”
Jeongguk nods not wanting to seem rude. He assumes the professor to be a friend of Seokjin-
-as they most likely look of same age. They fall into small conversation about companies, life, career etc. Both were too deep in conversation to notice the front door opening.
“Good evening Prof-“
Taehyung halts in the middle of his speech.
“Good evening Prof-“
Taehyung halts in the middle of his speech.
He blinks, once, twice; but the figure next to Namjoon isn’t disappearing which means he isn’t hallucinating. Jeongguk is speechless. He is glad he is seated because there’s high chance he would faint seeing the blonde. Both of them didn’t expect it.
Both are rendered speechless just staring at each other mutely.
Namjoon can sense the thick tension between them and is super awkward. He clears his voice and laughs dryly yet no affect on the two who are constantly staring at each other fixed in their spots like statues.

Luckily for him Seokjin appears in the scene and introduces Jeongguk and Taehyung to each other.
“Jeongguk, this is my younger brother-Taehyung and Taehyung, Jeongguk is the ramyeon guy I was talking about.”
Blood drains away from both their faces.
“Jeongguk, this is my younger brother-Taehyung and Taehyung, Jeongguk is the ramyeon guy I was talking about.”
Blood drains away from both their faces.
Jeongguk is the first one to break the eye contact not willing to have any conversation with the florist. He simply mutters a “hi” and looks away and strikes a conversation with Jin completely avoiding Taehyung. Taehyung is hit hard at that, now being directly ignored-
-by Jeongguk, he feels hurt. He must have crossed his limit, he knew that already but even though he deserves it, it pains him to be neglected by the ravenette.
Jeongguk soon meets Hobi and Hanee and both are shocked to see him as well.
Jeongguk soon meets Hobi and Hanee and both are shocked to see him as well.
Soon, Jin’s youtube team- Taehyun , Beomgyu , Ken arrive as well. The whole party gathers in the living room. Ken sets up the camera to do a live of their celebration while others help setting up the table and the cake of “2 MILLION HAPPINESS”.
In the whole process, Taehyung is squished next to Jeongguk who tries is best to look unfazed. They all cut the cake, Taehyung and Jeongguk smiling wide for the elder’s success. They all sit around for Jin to film the video and take photos.
The florist is way too awkward being able to sense the tension radiating from Jeongguk when their bodies are pressed together to fit in the frame.
However, the moment the snap sessions are over, Jeongguk is quick to put distance in them.
However, the moment the snap sessions are over, Jeongguk is quick to put distance in them.
Taehyung can’t deny how much it hurts him to be treated so. But, what can he do than endure it? He silently bears it and tries to shrug of every hit, every time Jeongguk would avert his eyes to every time Jeongguk would lean away when-
-Taehyung gets comfortable enough to spread his body and Jeongguk is quickly shifting his position to avoid any contact. Throughout the whole talk and gossip session, Jeongguk’s neck is constantly and painfully in the same angle to avoid glancing at the blonde,
he doesn’t even risk to check through his peripheral vision and misses the sadness that rims the florist’s eyes.
An hour or so later, Taehyung excuses himself and Jeongguk is finally cracking his sore neck from being held in one position.
An hour or so later, Taehyung excuses himself and Jeongguk is finally cracking his sore neck from being held in one position.
Seokjin pushes them all for the dinner that he has prepared. Taehyung and Beomgyu racing to the chairs near the window, Hobi and Hanee talking seats besides each other as usual, Jin sits in the head’s seat with Ken on right and Namjoon on his left.
Now the only two seats vacant are the beside Ken and Jeongguk easily slips into one of the chair.
Taehyung splashes water on his face and pumps up his spirit to stay strong and not break down. He goes back to the dining hall.
Taehyung splashes water on his face and pumps up his spirit to stay strong and not break down. He goes back to the dining hall.
But God really hates him, cause the only chair vacant is between Jeongguk and Hobi. Wordlessly, he sits and his legs brush with Jeongguk’s. He can feel Jeongguk go all stiff at the contact.
Others on the table are merrily chatting and helping serve each other while-
Others on the table are merrily chatting and helping serve each other while-
-these two are totally stiff and adamant at not looking each other. Taehyung thinks of apologizing but Jeongguk doesn’t give him any chance. Still, the florist tries to strike a conversation,
“Jeongguk-ssi please pass me the salt.”
Total cliché but Taehyung isn’t much creative.
“Jeongguk-ssi please pass me the salt.”
Total cliché but Taehyung isn’t much creative.
Jeongguk pretends to not hear him. Taehyung sighs knowing the ravenette is deliberately ignoring him. People on the table have started eating but Taehyung feels as if his appetite is lost. Seokjin passes the bowl of kimchi to Ken and Jeongguk is forced to pass it to the next,
but he doesn’t want to any interaction with the florist. He is thinking of a way when Taehyung nudges him again.
“Jeongguk will you pass me the bowl please”
Jeongguk is still adamant is thinking of how to avoid it. The whole table is busy in their world not really paying-
“Jeongguk will you pass me the bowl please”
Jeongguk is still adamant is thinking of how to avoid it. The whole table is busy in their world not really paying-
-much attention to the two until Taehyung was tired of calling me and decided to voice it out loud.
“I understand you’re upset Jeongguk but you are behaving childish! You really want to create a scene.”
Taehyung’s thread of patience snaps and he yells at Jeongguk.
“I understand you’re upset Jeongguk but you are behaving childish! You really want to create a scene.”
Taehyung’s thread of patience snaps and he yells at Jeongguk.
Jeongguk wasn’t expecting the outburst. He is surprised to see Taehyung glaring at him and that is enough for Jeongguk to snap back, because why is Taehyung shouting and yelling at him when it’s actually Jeongguk who has been repeatedly humiliated and hurt.
So, Jeongguk doesn’t back off as well.
“And if you are so mature you wouldn’t either, it’s you who created a scene and not me.”
Hoseok and Hanee and everyone else is shocked to see the two younger males arguing out of nowhere.
“And if you are so mature you wouldn’t either, it’s you who created a scene and not me.”
Hoseok and Hanee and everyone else is shocked to see the two younger males arguing out of nowhere.
Taehyung bursts,
“The reason is you…You were being stubborn, even when I asked nicely. Can’t you-“
So does Jeongguk
“Can’t I take a hint? Well, Now I do…the hint that I should steer clear from you. You avoid me and that’s fine but when I do you behave like a sensitive prick”
“The reason is you…You were being stubborn, even when I asked nicely. Can’t you-“
So does Jeongguk
“Can’t I take a hint? Well, Now I do…the hint that I should steer clear from you. You avoid me and that’s fine but when I do you behave like a sensitive prick”
Taehyung angrily stands up. All the rationality dumped in the trashcan and Taehyung breaks all barriers as he rants out.
“Sensitive prick! Like seriously, well then you’re the densest and dumbest person to exist because you clearly can’t think or look ahead-
“Sensitive prick! Like seriously, well then you’re the densest and dumbest person to exist because you clearly can’t think or look ahead-
-of what’s happening or why is it happening?”
Jeongguk huffs and chuckles bitterly,
“Well, I guess I have to thank you then because finally my dumb ass brain knows how to understand kind gesture of humiliating and avoidance……finally learnt to take a hint Taehyung-ssi”
Jeongguk huffs and chuckles bitterly,
“Well, I guess I have to thank you then because finally my dumb ass brain knows how to understand kind gesture of humiliating and avoidance……finally learnt to take a hint Taehyung-ssi”
“If you had really been that great at taking hints ….if you were as smart as you claim then you would have given a thought on the reason why I was avoiding you rather than being pussy about it.”
“One day a guy is totally happy with me dancing and goofing and-
“One day a guy is totally happy with me dancing and goofing and-
other day he suddenly starts behiaving like a stranger and avoiding me like a plague, how is one supposed to know? The guy if had been real mature ass, he would have talked rather than running away. So, pussy isn’t me but him”
And that hit the chord and Taehyung spills everything.
“I avoided you because I didn’t want to meddle into your personal matter. I avoided because I didn’t want to lie to you face that I saw your dear girlfriend choking on someone else’s dick....
“I avoided you because I didn’t want to meddle into your personal matter. I avoided because I didn’t want to lie to you face that I saw your dear girlfriend choking on someone else’s dick....
I wanted to stay away because it wasn’t my place to say anything and fuck, I couldn't stand the thought of YOU getting hurt right in front of me.-“
“What the hell are you even saying?”
“See….this…you won’t even believe me. I knew it and so I wanted to stay away than get-“
“What the hell are you even saying?”
“See….this…you won’t even believe me. I knew it and so I wanted to stay away than get-“
“I would have believed you but you are speaking bullshit..i don’t-“
“Jeongguk the hell, Yeri is fucking your boss, if you don’t believe call her and ask.”
“The fuck. I know that”
“You don’t know she—Wait, What?”
“I know Yeri and my boss are hooking up.”
Taehyung is totally BLOWN
“Jeongguk the hell, Yeri is fucking your boss, if you don’t believe call her and ask.”
“The fuck. I know that”
“You don’t know she—Wait, What?”
“I know Yeri and my boss are hooking up.”
Taehyung is totally BLOWN
He stares at Jeongguk as if he is transformed into some sick sea creature speaking the language of some age old Vikings.
“Y-You don’t object it?”
“Why would I? He is my boss. I am not his.”
Taehyung is so done. There’s a look of disbelief as he yells,
“Y-You don’t object it?”
“Why would I? He is my boss. I am not his.”
Taehyung is so done. There’s a look of disbelief as he yells,
running out of patience to even argue.
“BUT SHE IS YOUR GIRLFRIEND. YOUR BOSS HAS NO RIGHT TO SCREW HER”
Jeongguk is….well, he exactly doesn’t know how to feel. He is not frowning as if he is angry but he is utterly disgusted at what Taehyung said.
“BUT SHE IS YOUR GIRLFRIEND. YOUR BOSS HAS NO RIGHT TO SCREW HER”
Jeongguk is….well, he exactly doesn’t know how to feel. He is not frowning as if he is angry but he is utterly disgusted at what Taehyung said.
He is disgusted to the point he doesn’t want to speak. His eyes put up the image of him and Yeri together,…..ewww never. Why would even Taehyung think that?
The awkward silence is broken by Hoseok and Hanee spluttering and laughing.
The awkward silence is broken by Hoseok and Hanee spluttering and laughing.
Both of them obnoxiously getting loud with every passing second. Jeongguk’s face morphs into a passive aggressive one while Taehyung’s more confused to why his hyung and noona are suddenly laughing like crazy jerks.
“I…I can’t with this”
“I…I can’t with this”
Hoseok says while laughing and clutching his heat.
“I don’t understand hyung”, Taehyung is growing impatient.
Hoseok finally gets a grip on himself and saves himself from further embarrassment by laughing like a maniac.
“Taehyung-ah, you really are funny.”
“Hyung I am serious.”
“I don’t understand hyung”, Taehyung is growing impatient.
Hoseok finally gets a grip on himself and saves himself from further embarrassment by laughing like a maniac.
“Taehyung-ah, you really are funny.”
“Hyung I am serious.”
“Are you really making fun of Gguk? HIM…and Yeri…” …and Hoseok is back at laughing.
Taehyung sigh exasperatedly. He doesn’t understand why people are being impossible today. it is a serious issue and no one is believing him.
“I just don’t understand what’s so fucking funny.”
Taehyung sigh exasperatedly. He doesn’t understand why people are being impossible today. it is a serious issue and no one is believing him.
“I just don’t understand what’s so fucking funny.”
“You’re are funny” Jeongguk finally interferes. Taehyung turns back to him with the agitated expression questioning,
“What do you mean?”
“How can you possibly be thinking Yeri and I are together?”
“You guys broke-up?”
Taehyung’s expression changed into a concerned one in a flick-
“What do you mean?”
“How can you possibly be thinking Yeri and I are together?”
“You guys broke-up?”
Taehyung’s expression changed into a concerned one in a flick-
- of a second. He extended a apologetic hand to comfort Jeongguk for the loss when Jeongguk shrugs his hand.
“We were never together at the first place to even have a relationship.”
Taehyung is puzzled at the revelation.
“We were never together at the first place to even have a relationship.”
Taehyung is puzzled at the revelation.
He has seen the ravenette with the Professor a several times and to mention the ring.
“How?”
“What do you mean how? For Christ’s sake Taehyung, I am GAY, it’s practically impossible for me to date her. “
Taehyung stops breathing as Hoseok breaks into another fit of laughter-
“How?”
“What do you mean how? For Christ’s sake Taehyung, I am GAY, it’s practically impossible for me to date her. “
Taehyung stops breathing as Hoseok breaks into another fit of laughter-
-and this time not alone but everyone present in the room except Taehyung and Jeongguk. Jeongguk’s expression is of a bored one while Taehyung feels like all his life was some joke. How can one be so dumb to read into things that wrong? Only Taehyung can.
And when realization dawns upon him of how he mistreated Jeongguk thinking he is committed and all that drama, Taehyung can’t help but get hit by another wave of guilt, lips opening and closing to mutter an apology but he is conflicted because
the damage he did can’t be compensated.
Jeongguk eyes the florist, taking in every small detail and when the dots are connected in his head he can’t help but smile at how adorable the florist was being so concerned about his non-existent relationship….and him.

Taehyung cares for him and that alone is enough to subside the flames of hurt and anger in Jeongguk’s chest. He looks at Taehyung who matches his gaze this time …with apologetic eyes. He can already see the shine of those watery eyes and Jeongguk is a fool for him.
“Kim Taehyung you really are something”, Jeongguk says smiling at the pouting blonde
/Gosh! You’re making me fall over your stupidity…..What the hell are you doing to my heart?/
/Gosh! You’re making me fall over your stupidity…..What the hell are you doing to my heart?/
The laughter and giggles in the background tune out and Jeongguk can only hear his heart beating loud and fast looking into those beautiful caramel brown eyes of Taehyung’s.
/Can you hear my heart? How fast it beats for you?/

“Ummm….I can take the couch.” , Jimin offers. Yoongi snorts at the suggestion.
“And whine in the morning of how you neck hurts. No. Thank you very much.”
“But hyung..”
“Why are you suddenly acting as if we never slept in one bed before.”
“And whine in the morning of how you neck hurts. No. Thank you very much.”
“But hyung..”
“Why are you suddenly acting as if we never slept in one bed before.”
Yoongi is surprised to see Jimin behaving awkward. Why is he? It should be Yoongi’s concern as the man clearly has feelings for the younger and is in caps Gay for him. Ever since he had seen him, he had liked the guy.
Yoongi has always loved him, after all he was his first love….and true love too as seeing Yoongi even after years have never actually got over with his feelings.
When they were together, Yoongi cherished every moment of them together.
When they were together, Yoongi cherished every moment of them together.
He loved him with all his heart but as much as love is beautiful, love is scary as well. Yoongi was new to the independent world and to fall in love for first time was thrilling and scary. He was still budding then, and the new found feelings were intimidating.
He wasn’t sure if he was mentally prepared to confess to Jimin when he found the diary in his room. He could feel his heart literally stop and he feared rejection. So he dismissed the whole topic. He knew if put a drift between them when Jimin’s visit to his room lessened.
but can you blame him. He wasn’t sure and when he did become sure…. It was too late. That was the only day Yoongi shed tears for love. It broke his heart to see Jimin press the girl to the wall and he couldn’t watch more….turning away from the love that could never be his.
So, Yoongi loved him…from far. He was happy with the months of memories they built. It was enough for him to keep his faith in love.
Jimin stood in the middle of the room in silence contemplating. Yoongi sighs.
“It’s okay. I will take the couch. You take the bed.”
Jimin stood in the middle of the room in silence contemplating. Yoongi sighs.
“It’s okay. I will take the couch. You take the bed.”
Jimin’s trance is broken and before he can stop himself he utters a “No’ way too quickly. His face is flushed when he says
“let’s sleep together…i-I mean as in just sleep…like in one bed..i didn’t mean it in other sense”
Yoongi is literally entertained.
“let’s sleep together…i-I mean as in just sleep…like in one bed..i didn’t mean it in other sense”
Yoongi is literally entertained.
He has never seen Jimin fidgeting so much. It is funny how easily the younger is flustered. He is enjoying it.
“Well I don’t mind though”, Yoongi teases.
Jimin visibly freezes on his spot, his mouth in ajar and eyes blown wide. His head is still processing the words.
“Well I don’t mind though”, Yoongi teases.
Jimin visibly freezes on his spot, his mouth in ajar and eyes blown wide. His head is still processing the words.
“God! Look at you face. I was just kidding”
Yoongi is laughing and Jimin is …late in understanding the joke. He doesn’t understand either to be mad at Yoongi or on himself for assuming…Of course he was kidding. Flustered Jimin rushes to the bathroom first to get fresh.

“Jimin you are drooling”, Yoongi comments.
/Well who wouldn’t/
Jimin thinks to himself. Yoongi is wearing shorts and damn his legs look so strong and soft at the same time unlike his thin ones. Yoongi’s skin as well looks so clear like a spotless porcelain.

Jimin is lost in his world when the bed dips and Yoongi is already laying down on the other side. Jimin can already feel the warmth even when they aren’t touching.
Yoongi is having a hard time containing himself as well. Jimin is unintentionally teasing his hormones by wearing-
Yoongi is having a hard time containing himself as well. Jimin is unintentionally teasing his hormones by wearing-
-the excessive loose t-shirt that easily puts his collar bones on display. Yoongi never had those thoughts when they used to cuddle but darn it, he is now a grown up man with ragging hormones not some early adult having a heart crisis.
The room is eerily silent given there are two persons in it. Not even breathing sound is heard. Both of them have closed their eyes hoping the other won’t notice how visibly awake they are behind the closed lids.
An hour has passed and none of are falling asleep.
An hour has passed and none of are falling asleep.
The constant position is already hurting Jimin’s back and weirdly that’s enough for Yoongi to know that Jimin isn’t sleeping because- a sleepy Jimin moves like crazy and by now he should have latched to Yoongi.
Two hours and Jimin is moving but sadly he isn’t sleepy. The movement causes he legs to touch Yoongi’s and both of them go stiff. Jimin shuts his eyes in fear of being caught. But no one dares to move away. A few moments later Yoongi is moving and this time their hands touch.
One minute.
Two minutes.
Five minutes.
Yoongi huffs.
“Jimin-ah. This is still me you know. You don’t have to be so awkward”
Yoongi holds Jimin’s hand and Jimin breaks the pretense of sleep. He looks at the other side and his heart hurts at how familiar the scene is,
Two minutes.
Five minutes.
Yoongi huffs.
“Jimin-ah. This is still me you know. You don’t have to be so awkward”
Yoongi holds Jimin’s hand and Jimin breaks the pretense of sleep. He looks at the other side and his heart hurts at how familiar the scene is,
the same pale skin and warm welcoming eyes and Jimin’s a goner for them. So without delay he latches to Yoongi, arms automatically wrapping on his torso and limbs tangle naturally.
“Good night hyung”
And that’s how finally both of them fall asleep…..finding peace in each other’s arms.

“I am sorry”
“Taehyung stop. This is like what…27th time already-“
“-and it’s still not enough to cover up the way I treated you.”
Taehyung gazes down at his hand. His blonde bangs covering up his eyes. They are outside the house after the dinner.
“Taehyung stop. This is like what…27th time already-“
“-and it’s still not enough to cover up the way I treated you.”
Taehyung gazes down at his hand. His blonde bangs covering up his eyes. They are outside the house after the dinner.
Taehyung insisted on having a short walk to clear things better which actually turned out to be an apologizing session after every 3 minute interval. The night isn’t chilled as much as the spring is lingering around the corner.
Jeongguk watches the blonde beat himself up and he sighs because no matter what Taehyung wouldn’t just stop. So, carefully he steps closer taking his hand in his and urges him to look up at him.
“Just look at me. Only me.”
“Huh”
“Do you see any remorse? No right!-
“Just look at me. Only me.”
“Huh”
“Do you see any remorse? No right!-
-You misread things and that’s fine. We have cleared things out and that’s all that matters. But if it makes you feel better, I forgive you.”
“I just can’t feel okay that easily.”
“Then what do you want?”
Taehyung ponders upon that. His mind struck with a bright idea.
“I just can’t feel okay that easily.”

Taehyung is ecstatic. He finally feels at peace. God knows, how many days he loathed himself and spent in self-pity all because

Taehyung is ecstatic. He finally feels at peace. God knows, how many days he loathed himself and spent in self-pity all because
of his wrong assumption. The days of guilt are finally over. He happily skips back to his house.
Jin and Hanee are cleaning up. Ken has stayed to help Jin and Hoseok is almost leaving not before teasing Taehyung, well, it will go on for a few days- the consequences..

..of his stupid mind. The house is pretty silent and Taehyung is helping Hanee in cleaning dishes.
“You like him. Don’t yo?”
Taehyung swears he would have dropped the plate right on the spot.
“What?”, he splutters nervously
“Jeongguk. You like him.” Hanee isn’t asking.
“You like him. Don’t yo?”
Taehyung swears he would have dropped the plate right on the spot.

“Jeongguk. You like him.” Hanee isn’t asking.
It’s a statement, a much-affirmed statement and Taehyung knows there is no point in talking in circles or denying it. Hanee has never been wrong reading him like an open book.
“yeah.” Taehyung accepts.
“yeah.” Taehyung accepts.
“He really is nice. Hobi thinks of him as a younger brother and I can see the reason why. He is smart and yet compassionate. He loves warmly. Hobi says Jeongguk is golden and whoever he loves will be lucky.”
Taehyung smiles hearing the appraisal and the low-key approval.

But he knows Hanee wants to say something more.
“People are beautiful but not every beauty is suitable for everyone. He is a good person but it doesn’t ensure that he must suit you. I won’t say to stay away or anything, but take it in your own pace.
“People are beautiful but not every beauty is suitable for everyone. He is a good person but it doesn’t ensure that he must suit you. I won’t say to stay away or anything, but take it in your own pace.
Don’t rush it and be a devotee. I don’t want to see you stressed like last time when you were with Minho. Relationships are tiring but they don’t wear you out; and it’s because of love. So, be wise.”
Hanee definitely has a way with words and Taehyung once again feels lucky to-
Hanee definitely has a way with words and Taehyung once again feels lucky to-

Mornings. The idea of mornings is very common in every mind- a new start, sunrises, fresh air—and in case of boys: morning wood. As pleasant as the morning should have been with the soft sun rays peeking from the spaces of curtains, it is rather frustrating for Yoongi.
It's no surprise for him to wake up in a position where he is spooning Jimin but the problem here ---is down there where subconsciously Jimin is rubbing his soft ass on his semi-hard bulge. Yoongi is in daze whether to enjoy it as long as it last or put some space.
Well, as much tempting the first option is, he isn’t a pervert, he has been brought up to be the perfect gentleman and so he shifts further away from the smaller male and falls back asleep.
Not even 15 minutes later.
Jimin could feel the cool air hit his back.
Not even 15 minutes later.
Jimin could feel the cool air hit his back.
The warmth for Yoongi’s body is missing and it isn’t even 8’ in morning to wake up. So, he shifts, turns around searching for his human heater. His hand stretches to find the ebony haired in a bit distance. He crawls and latches back at him,
cuddling him from the side and eventually going back to sleep.
But, a peaceful sleep is too good to be true…
An hour or something Yoongi makes the worst decision of his life by turning in Jimin’s hold and that’s where the trouble began.
But, a peaceful sleep is too good to be true…
An hour or something Yoongi makes the worst decision of his life by turning in Jimin’s hold and that’s where the trouble began.
The position shifting has ended up Jimin’s leg in between Yoongi’s thighs; Yoongi’s hand on Jimin’s lower waist and Jimin’s head tucked in Yoongi’s crook.
The warmth for both of them is overwhelming. The sleep is heavy but the sensations are strong and wild.
The warmth for both of them is overwhelming. The sleep is heavy but the sensations are strong and wild.
Obscene images play inside their head and both the adults can’t help but want more of the warmth. They shift closer to each other; Jimin nuzzles the sweet spot of Yoongi. The elder can’t help but tighten his grip on the younger’s waist; hands slowly drifting to grab the meaty ass
Jimin’s whining at the touch, his legs fidgeting and rubbing against the clothed bulge of the elder. The acts and movements are subconscious but not innocent. Both their early morning hormones running wild and the urge to get some friction is overpowering.
At a point Jimin grinds his thigh hard on Yoongi’s dick causing Yoongi to grob on his ass a bit roughly. The action elicits moans; the lewd noises from Jimin’s lips to spill and stir the hunger of Yoongi’s mind even more.
Their eyes are closed,
Their eyes are closed,
thinking everything is a part of their dirty dream, Yoongi confidently pulls Jimin’s lower section closer which has both their bulges to clash. A grunt and a moan is heard and ….their eyes open.
The black squinted eyes looking into the wide-open chocolate brown eyes.
The black squinted eyes looking into the wide-open chocolate brown eyes.
In life there comes a moment where all the rationality in your blood screams at you to back off; back off and stop; to retreat and be safe; to not take that jump from the cliff and stay put on the edge but…but your heart; it wants you to sprint and-
-throw yourself off the cliff into the water; it doesn’t think of what if you drown, what if you hit your head and die, it doesn’t think of any “what ifs”; it pounds hard thinking of what’s more to explore; the feeling of that curious heart to find out what it would feel to fall;
to drown and to resurface and that’s so fucking beautiful that you are compelled into saying—FUCK IT!
So, that’s the moment of Yoongi now.
“Fuck it”
He mutters and is pulling Jimin by his nape and the damn, the lips are slot together, their teeth are clashing but who cares.
So, that’s the moment of Yoongi now.
“Fuck it”
He mutters and is pulling Jimin by his nape and the damn, the lips are slot together, their teeth are clashing but who cares.
It’s something he has always wanted to do and he can’t let it go when the younger is so close. Jimin shuts his eyes absorbing every feeling; every sensation; every lick and every bite. His mind is whirling but he can’t seem to care.
The regret and the guilt and every other damn thing stays at bay as the two of them explore what it is to be intimate. The hands are sliding and gliding on each other’s body; groping every pound of flesh, sucking every nook and crook, licking every inch of skin that’s visible.
The long wanted need to be close in every manner taking over them and they both can’t stop.
“I..I don’t have any condoms”, Yoongi is running out of breath.
“I don’t care..just-“
Yoongi shuts Jimin down by clashing his lips on his. He thinks it is all Jimin’s hormones speaking,
“I..I don’t have any condoms”, Yoongi is running out of breath.
“I don’t care..just-“
Yoongi shuts Jimin down by clashing his lips on his. He thinks it is all Jimin’s hormones speaking,
and that is a pulling a chord in his heart but he can’t stop, not when the younger is being so willing and whimpering, he just can’t and he doesn’t. He rips open to see Jimin in all raw and naked form,
drags his lips and tongue slicking his hole before pushing himself inside into the warm hole that’s sucking him so deliciously.
So even if his subconscious mocks and his heart hurts, Yoongi is all “FUCK IT”

“Nooooo”
“What? Why not?”
“Because Jeongguk will recognize it’s Jin hyung who made the cookies not me.”
“Well..a man’s heart is through food. If you can’t bake then take him to a fancy dinner.” Hanee suggested again.
“That’s so…..boring. I mean it’s not a date. -

Taehyung is frustrated. He wants to make it up for Jeongguk but he doesn’t know what to do now.
“You are being crazy. Help yourself on you own.”
Hanee gets up in defeat and goes into her room.

Taehyung is happy to have finally arrived at the decision.

Jeongguk is staring at the screen like a hawk..more like heart-eyed hawk!
Kim Taehyung has texted him inviting him for bowling! Isn’t that great…

“it’s a perfect moment”—it’s a lie. When people talk about perfect moments they speak lies because perfection is a fantasy. Perfection is that element of fantasy land where everything is perfect, no dead leaves, no wilted flowers, no dried streams, the beautiful sunshine and...
...the never-ending spring. It’s beautiful. Too beautiful to be true…because it’s not real. Reality is harsh…in real life…the winter comes. and the spring ends.; Just like perfect moments….they too end.
“Ahhhhh! Hyung….fuck….gosh hyung I Lo-“
“Ahhhhh! Hyung….fuck….gosh hyung I Lo-“
Jimin is strangling Yoongi, too lost to be found again in the abyss of pleasure; riding high and high until…..the phone alarm blares and like some magic spell is lifted; both are snapped back to reality.
The soft sun rays now are scorching and Jimin’s eyes are completely open,
The soft sun rays now are scorching and Jimin’s eyes are completely open,
-the lust ebbed away from them along with the heavy sleep. He blinks looking at the pale man on whom he is strangling. He could feel the hands holding his hips slipping away and Jimin’s heart is back to square one;
the fear is back again, the fear to be rejected is back and the easily forgotten images of scribbled first love and the diary rush back in as well.
The chocolate brown eyes sting and he can feel his tears brimming. He is quick to get from Yoongi, wrap the white sheet around him

; body suddenly cold from losing the warmth and Jimin is almost dashing towards the bathroom when a hand stops him.
Jimin doesn’t turn back- he can’t. He is scared to break down in front of Yoongi and tries his best to put his guard back on ….but fails.
“It was a mistake.”
Jimin doesn’t turn back- he can’t. He is scared to break down in front of Yoongi and tries his best to put his guard back on ….but fails.
“It was a mistake.”
He can hear Yoongi speak…and every single word breaks his heart. He doesn’t want to hear any of this. He knew it was a mistake but hearing it is way worse. He is vulnerable…standing there naked with nothing but a mere white covering his body barely.
He doesn’t want to look weak but he is….and he can’t hide it anymore. He can’t stop his wobbling lips or trembling body.
“I am sorry Jimin.”
His knees are weak and with words they turn weaker. He doesn’t know how long it will last until he completely breaks and falls apart.
“I am sorry Jimin.”
His knees are weak and with words they turn weaker. He doesn’t know how long it will last until he completely breaks and falls apart.
His tears on verge of spilling and his heart—
“But I don’t regret it.”
And his heart—isn’t breaking but beating; loud and fast.
Yoongi is done. All these years of hiding the love; the pain…He couldn’t do it anymore.
“But I don’t regret it.”
And his heart—isn’t breaking but beating; loud and fast.
Yoongi is done. All these years of hiding the love; the pain…He couldn’t do it anymore.
When all his feelings have sprung open and he has gone way too ahead of loving Jimin from far to loving Jimin up close. He just can’t go back and be normal like it never happened because for him it will matter; it will haunt him till the end.
So Yoongi is all “FUCK IT” because hiding has done no good and now he wants to take chances by confessing—because what’s there to lose exactly: his heart is anyway broken, Jimin was never his to lose; so what are the chances now.
Jimin spins his head back to see the warm eyes of Yoongi.
“I don’t regret any of those…..I have wanted it ever since we met.”
“What?”
“Yeah! I have loved you ever since and I can’t go back to how we were.”
Jimin can’t go back to square one either.

It’s almost evening. Jeongguk is typing furiously to wind up the day’s work so he can go back home and prepare for his date with Taehyung tomorrow; when his phone chimes.
--

“I hate thisssss”, Taehyung whines for the umpteenth time. Jeongguk can’t help but laugh. The florist was being super adorable he can’t help but coo.
“Well, if you really didn’t like bowling then why would you invite me ?”
Jeongguk laughs saying it.
“Well, if you really didn’t like bowling then why would you invite me ?”
Jeongguk laughs saying it.
He thought Taehyung must love bowling to invite him but ever since they have come Taehyung is super uncomfortable. He didn’t question it earlier but seeing Taehyung lose the past five times he tried bowling and missing it every single time; he doubts his assumption.
“Because you like it and I wanted you to enjoy”,
Taehyung accidentally spills. Jeongguk can’t help the warmth that spreads all over him to the point he can feel it in the tips of his finger. He looks fondly at the blonde who was cursing and whining.

He watches as Taehyung stomps to the rack and with a determined look lifts the ball to stand in front of the bowling row. Jeongguk can clearly see Taehyung is going to slip from the posture and he does when he swings the heavy ball that rolls away without hitting any pins;
but Jeongguk is quick to catch Taehyung saving him from any other embarrassment.
“Come here. Let me teach you”
And Jeongguk teaches the blond; never once getting frustrated or irritated by the number of questions Taehyung keeps asking.

And after an eventful hour of Jeongguk teaching and Taehyung giggling and laughing and learning..Taehyung finally strikes a perfect score.
“Yayyyy” Taehyung couldn’t control his actions. The happiness of wining compelled him to lunge at Jeongguk and hug him tight.

Jeongguk doesn’t mind and embraces him back, everytime the blonde strikes a perfect and rushes to him. After an hour when they finally get out of the place walking close to each other with their hands brushing too frequent to be unintentional—
Taehyung can say he doesn’t hate bowling anymore.

“I really enjoyed it.”
“Me too. It was fun learning bowling.”
“Well, it won’t be as fun as watching La La Land with hot-dog and pop corn.”

Sunday and movies are the best. But Sundays and movies with Jeongguk in his home is the bestest. Taehyung agrees. Watching movie with Jeongguk isn’t the traditional routine of staring at the screen and munching on the food with occasional snickers and laughs.
Watching movie with Jeongguk is a whole different experience.
Jeongguk isn’t fan of the traditional way of going to the threatre and when Taehyung sees it and experiences it on his own he can understand why. They aren’t sitting idle on the couch just staring like an old couple;

they are singing to the lyrics and dancing to the steps…and that’s not it; they are even reacting to the scenes as well as picking up line and getting in their own world and creating a new version of La La Land.
Watching movies with Jeongguk is much more than hot-dogs and pop-corns and Taehyung just likes it that way.

“Why aren’t there any flowers in your home?”
Taehyung asks as Jeongguk walks him back after the movie. It’s already afternoon and the sun rays aren’t harsh;

Jeongguk deviates the direction of the conversation talking more about his college life and Taehyung talking about his plans after he graduates after four months. Jeongguk thought he successfully dodged the topic, but little did he know, he failed.

It happens after almost a week on a Sunday morning that Taehyung knocks on his door. Jeongguk is surprised to see the florist, dressed in a pastel shirt, with a beret on his head and excitement glowing in his eyes.
He hugs the ravenette tightly, both come long way from the awkward phase, finding each other comfortable in the skinship. Jeongguk welcomes him with the same warm smile. However, he misses the huge box that tags along with Taehyung.
“I had to wait for a week for them to bloom”
“I had to wait for a week for them to bloom”
Jeongguk is doomed the moment he sees beautiful pastel peach and lilac coloured petals. Taehyung in his total excitement to decorate Jeongguk’s home. He brought cute little flowers, some other silly decorations and fairy lights too.
Together they change the sheets, the curtain and Jeongguk can’t help but allow his mind to wonder if that’s what they will be in future together; doing laundry and dusting on a Sunday morning, taking turns in washing dishes and walking Miri out.
An hour later Taehyung sighs in peace holding Miri in his arms looking at his work; purple fairy lights in the bedroom; a range of small plants near the kitchen window and two huge vase of peach rose and lilac tulips in the living room.
Jeongguk should grimace at the fragrance but he can’t bring himself to the point because… he is a fool.
The warm smile, and the naturally reaching of their hands to interwine and the chaste kiss that’s pressed to his cheek when Taehyung leaves;
The warm smile, and the naturally reaching of their hands to interwine and the chaste kiss that’s pressed to his cheek when Taehyung leaves;
it’s worth every sneeze he sneezes the whole night.

“Umm… What’s your birth flower?”
“Birth flower?”
“Yeah. Everyone has one.”
“I don’t know. I never thought of it.”
“Wouldn’t you like to find out?”
“No. What is it’s not my favourite flower! What about yours?”
“Tiger lily.”

They go on more dates which they don’t label as dates but hangouts. Jeongguk grows to know more about Taehyung, his love for art, his minimalist dream, thoughts. He loves spending time with him; loves all their unlabeled dates; except one.
The one that’s always going to be special in his heart.
It’s around two weeks later of their redecorating day when Taehyung asks him to accompany him to an art exhibition that’s quite a far away from the town. Jeongguk was excited. He picks Taehyung up from his house.

“Uhh Jeongguk”
Taehyung speaks as he tucks on the rather rusty seat belt. Jeongguk is quick to help and lends an explanation stutteringly as he leans closer to Taehyung who doesn’t flinch at the proximity.

And when Jeongguk fumbles on the words he just giggles.
/Cute/ Taehyung thinks to himself.
The ride is rather peaceful. Taehyung switching and messing with the music and sometimes both serenading on their favourite OSTs.

Taehyung can’t stop his eyes from wandering at Jeongguk who stands in the middle of the hall of the exhibition room. The ravenette has no idea about kinds of arts and yet he stands in the room all because of him. The thought is enchanting.
It worms into his heart and pulls a chord that has Taehyung’s heart blooming like cherry blossoms and Taehyung can say the right time has come.
So, when Jeongguk leans in to help with the seat belt as they sit back in the car, Taehyung takes the chance.

He leans closer enough to press his lips against Jeongguk’s in a sweet kiss and the sigh that leaves the ravenette’s lips at that, Taehyung knows the right thing that ever happened to him was Jeongguk.
And when Jeongguk pulls over at his house,
And when Jeongguk pulls over at his house,
Taehyung is quick to pull him into a short kiss before muttering those words.
“Fix that seatbelt, I don’t want others to take a chance with the guy I like the most.”
Jeongguk is flustered. He couldn’t even say a word. Jeongguk’s a fool.

“Isn’t it beautiful?”
Taehyung gazes at the dark sky with a few stars twinkling and the moon hidden yet visible. Jeongguk looks in the same direction trying to admire the view but his eyes are already going back to stare at Taehyung.

Taehyung gazes at the dark sky with a few stars twinkling and the moon hidden yet visible. Jeongguk looks in the same direction trying to admire the view but his eyes are already going back to stare at Taehyung.
It’s been half a month. And everything is sweet. They don’t meet regularly with Taehyung’s college tight schedules, exams and of course Jeongguk’s workload. Yet they manage it for weekends. And Jeongguk…well Jeongguk couldn’t be any happier.
Their intertwined hands are safely tucked in Jeongguk’s jacket’s pocket; their shoulders are pressed together with no space between their bodies as they sit in the lonely park’s bench and stare at the night sky.
They both wanted to refresh their memories by going back to the café they went for their first unofficial date. By the time they are out from there the sun was already at the horizon and Taehyung insisted on sitting on the park bench. How time fled by, Jeongguk has no idea.
The wind is pretty chill and Jeongguk’s rubbing circles on other’s hand with his tumb, the action makes Taehyung look back at Jeongguk. He can’t fathom how he got so lucky to have found Jeongguk all to himself. He leans in and pecks the ravenette’s lips.
Now, here’s the thing. It has always been pecks; closed lips pressing onto each other leaving behind Jeongguk (and Taehyung) to want something more. But either of them isn’t confident on taking that step; the idea of rushing into things borderline threatening them.
So, they never attempt and Jeongguk wants more.
With the lips pressed on to his, he wraps an arm around Taehyung pulling him closer and for once he tries not to be coward. Jeongguk kisses, sucks on Taehyung’s lips sweetly until he licks on them, hesitantly and Taehyung gasps.

Jeongguk freezes but is quick to recover as he soon dives his tongue into Taehyung’s warm cavern licking and sucking and taking in all the sweet taste that Taehyung offers.
Taehyung’s fingers tug Jeongguk’s hairs and Jeongguk loses control,—
Taehyung’s fingers tug Jeongguk’s hairs and Jeongguk loses control,—
-hands already gripping on Taehyung’s hips urging him to strangle him. Taehyung’s not much quick and suddenly the clouds on the sky began to rain.
Jeongguk breaks the kiss. Their lungs burning and hearts racing.
‘My shop’s nearby”
Jeongguk breaks the kiss. Their lungs burning and hearts racing.
‘My shop’s nearby”
Hardly have Taehyung uttered those words Jeongguk is already dragging him out of the park to their shop’s direction. Their feet clumsy and bumping and stumbling and bodies mildly drenched in the drizzle as they reach the shop.
Luckily, Taehyung’s fast in unlocking the door and Jeongguk can’t wait push him inside and pulling him close to slot their lips back together.
Taehyung’s mind is frenzy with all the sensations that course in his body. He can feel the fire within spreading-
Taehyung’s mind is frenzy with all the sensations that course in his body. He can feel the fire within spreading-
-and warming up his entire expanse of skin. The innocent touches are igniting fire in him and he can’t push back the whimpers down his throat. He loves it, loves the way Jeongguk kisses him, loves the way his head is spinning and spiraling and losing his sanity over-
-the way the ravenette sucks on his neck. The sensations are too much and Taehyung wants to give in Jeongguk all.
He pushes the ravenette further and further till he is slammed on the opposite wall. The shelves beside shake and Jeongguk almost knocks the barrel of flowers.

But they are least bothered about it. The flames inside them are driving them insane and Jeongguk grunts at the way Taehyung bites on his lip and sucks on his tongues.
He is lost, lost in the delirious daze of pleasure that he even forgot that-
He is lost, lost in the delirious daze of pleasure that he even forgot that-
he is too close to the flowers and the familiar urge to sneeze overpowers. Taehyung is nipping his earlobe when Jeongguk sneezes and …sneezes again.
Taehyung stops to look at the ravenette, who looks sick with watery eyes and red nose.
“Are you okay?”

Jeongguk stiffs at the question.
‘Yeah. I j-just….I just get cold easily. The rain perhaps.”
he lies.
Taehyung isn’t convinced but nevertheless he coos at his cute boyfriend who sneezes and rubs his nose like a bunny.

“The new gen I say are so lazy. Yahh! Learn to cook for your boyfriend” ,
Seokjin snickers at Taehyung who is busy packing the warm porridge and freshly baked cupcakes for his beloved boyfriend.
Hoseok laughs at the comment. He has just reached to pick Hanee-

Hoseok laughs at the comment. He has just reached to pick Hanee-
-for their little vacation together.
“But why are you taking porridge for Gguk though?”, Hoseok asks casually.
‘Ggukie is sick. That’s why. He really is so weak I swear. We weren’t even that drenched but he was already sneezing.”
Hoseok looks conflicted at the information.

Hoseok looks conflicted at the information.
“He is quite a high immune kid though.’
“Even I thought so.” Taehyung replies back. He looks satisfactorily at the neatly backed boxes. He goes to his room to fetch the fresh white roses and puts them in a bag.
“Yaaah! Why are you taking flowers?”, Hoseok asks horrified.

“Yaaah! Why are you taking flowers?”, Hoseok asks horrified.
“Flowers make people feel better hyung. Jeongguk would like the freshness.” Taehyung explains calmly. But the look on Hoseok’s face tells him that he is missing out on something.
‘Hyung what’s wrong?”
“Didn’t he tell you he is allergic to pollen and flowers?”
“WHAT??!!”

Jeongguk is feeding Miri when his doorbell rings. Jeongguk opens the door to a smiling Taehyung with his hands behind.
“guess what I brought?”
Taehyung pulls his right hand out and hands over the bag to Jeongguk. Jeongguk grimaces at the sight of flowers but quickly masks it.

Taehyung pulls his right hand out and hands over the bag to Jeongguk. Jeongguk grimaces at the sight of flowers but quickly masks it.
He carefully gets them out not wanting another round of sneeze and suffocation.
Taehyung carefully watches every move of Jeongguk and frowns.
“Ggukie, why didn’t you tell me you were allergic to pollen?”
Jeongguk is dumbstruck.

Jeongguk is dumbstruck.
He can see Taehyung frowning and his heart is already fearing the consequences and constructing every bad scenario when Taehyung—pouts.
“If you had said me earlier, I wouldn’t have dragged you to those flower exhibitions and gardens. I feel bad now.”
“If you had said me earlier, I wouldn’t have dragged you to those flower exhibitions and gardens. I feel bad now.”
Jeongguk smiles in relief because…Taehyung still is thinking about his welfare and not about how contrasting they are to Jeongguk being allergic to something that is dearest to Taehyung. And that smallest thing is enough to push him.
“How was I supposed to break the heart of the florist I love so much by saying I am allergic to flowers, the only thing he loves”
And finally, Jeongguk is thankful for not being coward.
And finally, Jeongguk is thankful for not being coward.
Taehyung’s eyes have that glassy sheen and he is afraid he will ruin the moment by shedding happy tears so he just steps closer and hugs the ravenette and let’s his tears soak Jeongguk’s t-shirt.
“I love you too”, it’s whispered into the crook of his neck and that’s enough.

“I want a day off”
Jeongguk requests a Jimin who is sitting on Yoongi’s lap, shamelessly nuzzling the elder’s ears and barely paying attention to Jeongguk
“Why?”,
Jimin asks absent-mindedly and Yoongi has to pry his hands off that were drifting way too lower-

“Why?”,
Jimin asks absent-mindedly and Yoongi has to pry his hands off that were drifting way too lower-
-to be appropriate in front of a staff. Jimin whines at that.
“It’s Taehyung’s graduation…and I want to surprise him”
Listening to that has Jimin’s eyes glow in excitement.
“How nice!! Go, go. You must have time for love.”,
Jimin grants the permission immeditately.

Jeongguk is happily turning on his heels and is almost out of the door when he can hear chairs creaking a bit and he doesn’t dare turn back to see whatever his boss is doing with his boyfriend.

“Jeongguk will you tell me please.”,
Taehyung giggles. His eyes are closed by Jeongguk from behind, guiding him into his apartment.
/On my pillow/
/Can't get me tired/
/Sharing my fragile truth/
/That I still hope the door is open/

Taehyung is happily and successfully graduated from the university. His parents have met Jeongguk in the ceremony and has approved. His whole family had lunch together and Hoseok finally proposed Hanee to marry.
So, in short he is way too happy and ecstatic and he doesn’t know what else can outscore that happiness.
/'Cause the window/
/Opened one time with you and me/
/Now my forever's falling down/
/Wondering if you'd want me now/
They are almost in the middle of the hall when Jeongguk removes his arms and Taehyung opens his eyes.
/Opened one time with you and me/

They are almost in the middle of the hall when Jeongguk removes his arms and Taehyung opens his eyes.
/How could I know/
/One day I'd wake up feeling more/
/But I had already reached the shore/
Wow. That’s what Taehyung thinks. The entire hall decorated with lilacs and purples, there are scented candles and fairy lights around him.
/One day I'd wake up feeling more/

Wow. That’s what Taehyung thinks. The entire hall decorated with lilacs and purples, there are scented candles and fairy lights around him.
The entire scene is as beautiful as a dream. But the moment of amazement doesn’t last as Taehyung begins to panic.
“Ggukie you have aller-“
“Shhhh! Don’t worry. They are artificial.”
“Ggukie you have aller-“
“Shhhh! Don’t worry. They are artificial.”
/Guess we're ships in the night/
/Night, night/
/We were ships in the night, night, night/
Jeongguk is backhugging him as he whispers the words in his ears. Taehyung calms down easily and takes his sweet time to see how Jeongguk has decorated everything in a way Taehyung likes;
/Night, night/
/We were ships in the night, night, night/
Jeongguk is backhugging him as he whispers the words in his ears. Taehyung calms down easily and takes his sweet time to see how Jeongguk has decorated everything in a way Taehyung likes;
the curtains are of pastels, the shelve has his favourite books, the vases having his favourite flowers, the couch lined with his favourite plushies and the house is everything that Taehyung has discussed with Jeongguk in one of his drunken state, how he wants his home to look.
/I'm wondering/
/Are you my best friend/
/Feel's like a river's rushing through my mind/
It's that moment when realization hits and Taehyung could feel Jeongguk handing him a small box in his palm.
/Are you my best friend/
/Feel's like a river's rushing through my mind/
It's that moment when realization hits and Taehyung could feel Jeongguk handing him a small box in his palm.
“I know things are meant to be rushed but I can’t help but dwell in the guilty pleasure of already dreaming a dream of doing domestic things with you, thinking of fighting for turns to clean dishes and do laundry.-
-The house already had so much of things that kept reminding me of you; you’re the only puzzle piece that’s left to complete the picture.”
/I wanna ask you/
/If this is all just in my head/
/My heart is pounding tonight/
/I wonder/
/I wanna ask you/
/If this is all just in my head/
/My heart is pounding tonight/
/I wonder/
Jeongguk says it all with his softest of voice holding a silently sobbing Taehyung. His eyes are blurry with tears. He sniffles and stares at the box. Taehyung knows yet he isn’t sure what to expect.
He opens the box to find a key, exact that of Jeongguk’s apartment key, with a keychain of a honeybee and flower and a small hanging attached to it that reads
“ I have pollen in love with you”
/If you/
/Are too good to be true/
/And would it be alright if I/
/Pulled you closer/
“ I have pollen in love with you”
/If you/
/Are too good to be true/
/And would it be alright if I/
/Pulled you closer/
The florist chuckles at that; eyes crinkling underneath and the little of tears have slipped around the corners. He holds the keys firmly and turns around in Jeongguk’s hold.
He has no idea what to say, all the fancy words are feeble because what can he say when he is so lost in those galaxy filled eyes he fell in love with and to be finally able to be a part of that person’s life is like a dream he never wants to wake up from.
/How could I know/
/One day I’d wake up feeling more/
/But I had already reached the shore/
So, silently he leans his forehead against Jeongguk’s, noses brushing and lips smiling and eyes closed in content as the ravenette holds him close.
/One day I’d wake up feeling more/

So, silently he leans his forehead against Jeongguk’s, noses brushing and lips smiling and eyes closed in content as the ravenette holds him close.
And in the very moment they know, this is where they were meant to be; in each other’s embrace for the life time; it was their moment of forever.
And as they lean closer to kiss, the keys jangle in Taehyung’s hold; a sweet reminder: the honeybee and the flower will stay together forever.
/We were ships in the night/
/Night, night…/
/We were ships in the night/
/Night, night…/
---The end----
