"All this is no coincidence
Just, just I could feel that
The whole world is different than yesterday
Just, just with your joy."

Taehyung was on the merry go round, beaming at Hoseok who was swinging with all his might. He laughed as the wind tore at his hair, teasing them into knots. He would lean back, as though lying down on an imaginary extension of the swing, his eyes closed, just enjoying the breeze and the sun shining on his face.

"When you called me, I become your flower
As if we were waiting, we bloom until we ache
Maybe it's the providence of the universe
It just had to be that, you know I know."

Tae was really surprised to hear that he had been teased because he didn't look like the usual handsome guys. They called him horse-face. It had stung, but Hoseok had learnt that everyone had different mindsets. He knew he had a loving family and friends that adored him. So none of the teasing and name-calling bothered him. Besides, as people slowly saw the kind of person he was, he gained more friends than ever. He forgave easily and had a laugh that was contagious. He was soon known as the happiness virus.

"You are me, and I am you."

Taehyung wanted to be like him. Hoseok was truly an inspiration. He was an image of the kind of person Tae inspired to be. Recently, they had taken to spending a lot of time together. Jimin and Yoongi were perpetually in each other's company. Namjoon had got into some international exchange programme, and Jin, being the oldest, was studying hard for college. Neither of them had any other friends they were close to. So whenever the opportunity arose, they would meet up in a café, at the theatre, a karaoke bar, or, like today, at the kids playground. Very gradually, over the several months spent like this, in quiet company, overexcited singing and dancing, and general crazy best friend antics, they had realised.

They both were slowly falling for each other.

"As much as my heart flutters, I'm worried
The destiny is jealous of us, just like you I'm so scared
When you see me
When you touch me."

Nothing was ever awkward between them. What began as playful punches on the arm, platonic sideways hugs, and casual holding of hands, within those couple of months, had developed into deep, comforting hugs, kisses on cheeks, and casual cuddling sessions at Hoseok's place. They were not insecure about what others thought. They couldn't care less. They went about being the beautiful people they were and very soon, practically the entire school wanted to be known as their friends. Tae was slowly becoming the kind of person he wanted to be. It was difficult, after all the bullying he had done, but being in Hoseok's company helped.

The only reason they hadn't made their love for each other vocal was because they were terrified. They didn't want to jinx what was clearly a beautiful relationship, based on mutual love, respect, and friendship.

"The universe has moved for us
There wasn't even a little miss
Our happiness was meant to be
Cause you love me and I love you."

Having said that, they were sure they were meant for each other. They just gelled so well. It was almost as though everything that had happened had done so just so that the two of them could meet and fall in love. They didn't have to voice it. In their heart of hearts, both knew that the Universe had moved for them.

"You are my blue mold, saving me
My angel, my world
I'm your calico cat, here to see you
Love me now
Touch me now."

Their relationship was beautiful. It had developed from the firmest foundation- friendship. Hoseok had saved Tae from himself, and Tae, in turn, had been a lucky charm in Hoseok's life.

"Just let me love you (let me, love, let me love you)
Just let me love you (let me, love, let me love you)"

None of their friends knew or noticed their growing closeness. They rather preferred it that way.

"Since the creation of the universe
Everything was destined
Just let me love you (let me, love, let me love you)"

On the way back from the playground, Hoseok had pulled him into a café. It was an almost perfect evening. They chose a corner seat, the kind where they could see the entire café, but no one could see them. They ordered their favourite coffees, chatting, laughing, joking. Before leaving, Hoseok leaned over and whispered in Tae's ear, "I've wanted to do this for a while now."

The two of them shared a passionate kiss.

"Let me love, let me love you
Let me love, let me love you."
