"Take my hands now.
You are the cause of my euphoria."

-- Jeon Jeongguk --

✨

[End]
( I want you to trust me.)

"Let's go away from here, Gguk. I need fresh air." Taehyung said.

Jeongguk held Taehyung's hand tightly as his other hand drove towards their special place.

"I really don't know why that happened, it's so weird." Taehyung huffed and rubbed his eyes.

"Stop rubbing your eyes, love. You'll hurt 'em." Jeongguk said, pulling the elder's fists away from his eyes.

Taehyung put down his hands and looked outside the window. The moon shined brightly and the stars scattered messily but never fails to look jaw-dropping.

"We're here, baby." The younger announced and got out of the car slowly before hastily making his way to Taehyung's side to open his door for him.

The grey-haired make smiled softly and accepted Jeongguk's hand as he got out.

"You look so lovely today, Tae. Every day, rather." Jeongguk said while both of them made their way towards their cabin.

"Th-thank you, Gguk. You look very handsome as always." Taehyung said shyly and opened the door.

They went inside not before switching the lights on. Jeongguk went towards his piano and sat in front of it.

"I wrote this song for you, Tae. I hope you like it." The younger wiped his hands on his pants before proceeding to play the piano.

Taehyung grinned, feeling excited knowing that the song that Jeongguk will sing is for him and only him. He feels honored and treasured.

"You are the sunlight that rose again in my life
A reincarnation of my childhood dream"

Jeongguk started, his heavenly voice and his piano are the only things and Taehyung can hear at the moment. The elder felt as if he's having an eargasm although Jeongguk has only sung the first part.

"I don't know what this emotion is
If this place is also inside a dream"

The younger glanced at the beaming male sitting not far away from him. Taehyung's smile shined brighter than the moon itself.

"This dream is a blue mirage in the desert
A priori deep inside of me
I'm so happy, I can't breathe
My surroundings are getting more and more transparent"

The lyrics described what Jeongguk and Taehyung are feeling immaculately.

"I hear the far-away ocean
Across the dream, over the horizon
I'm going to the place that's getting clearer
Take my hands now
You are the cause of my euphoria"

Jeongguk closed his eyes, feeling the song he made just for Taehyung. The elder on the other hand is currently tearing up from happiness.

"Euphoria
Take my hands now
You are the cause of my euphoria
Euphoria
Close the door now
When I'm with you I'm in utopia"

Taehyung can hear the love and devotion in Jeongguk's voice.

"Were you wandering around
Looking for an erased dream, too?
It's different from the typical definition of destiny
Your pained eyes are looking at the same place as me
Won't you please stay in dreams"

Jeongguk opened his eyes, Taehyung's teary ones met his. Everything feels so unreal.

"I hear the ocean from far away
Across the dream, over the horizon
I'm going to the place that's getting clearer
Take my hands now
You are the cause of my euphoria"

Taehyung stared at the younger, singing along to the lyrics that are repeated.

"Euphoria
Take my hands now
You are the cause of my euphoria"

Jeongguk's lips curved into a smile while singing, happy that Taehyung seemed to love it as much as him.

"Even if the desert becomes cracked
No matter who shakes this world
Don't let go of the hand you're holding
Please don't wake up from this dream"

Jeongguk diverted his gaze to his fingers that are playing the piano chords fluently.

"I hear the ocean from far away
Across the dream, over the horizon
I'm going to the place that's getting clearer
Take my hands now
You are the cause of my euphoria~"

Taehyung's grin widens if that's even possible, hearing his lover reach the high note effortlessly. It sent shivers down his spine.

"Euphoria
Take my hands now
You are the cause of my euphoria
Euphoria
Close the door now
When I'm with you I'm in utopia."

The song finished and Jeongguk stood up slowly, feeling proud. He went towards Taehyung who's standing and clapping his hands.

"You did so great, Ggukie! I love it so much. I love you. Thank you for writing that song." Taehyung said, arms wrapped around the other's neck.

Jeongguk smiled, "Wait, let me get something." He said leaving the cabin.

Taehyung sighed dreamily and smiled, feeling contented.

Jeongguk came in not long after, holding a bouquet of mauve carnation and a piece of paper that is very familiar to Taehyung.

"For you." Jeongguk handed the flowers and the paper to the elder.

Taehyung opened the paper and gasped, "Now I know why I couldn't find this anywhere." He giggled.

Taehyung smiled as he read the last thing he wrote. Jeongguk loved him back now and he did everything. He feels proud.

"Do you know what's the only thing that you haven't done yet?" Jeongguk asked.

The elder giggled, "What?" He asked.

"The only thing you haven't done is to wake up."

Taehyung's eyes fluttered open and wandered around the white walls of an unknown room.

He looks at his hands that are intertwined with Jeongguk's who slept beside him in a sitting position.

"He's awake." A voice said, he immediately recognized it as Jimin's.

Jeongguk abruptly looked at him, almost breaking his neck.

"Tae, how are you feeling? Do you want water? Don't move too much just yet. Lemme get you water." Jeongguk bombarded him with questions before briskly standing up and grabbed an unopened water bottle.

Taehyung couldn't utter words, his throat felt so dry and rough.

Jimin brushed Taehyung's hair out of his eyes, "How are you feeling? You must be confused. You're in a hospital room right now. You're in the hospital for three days, I guess? Or was it four?" He informed.

Taehyung's eyebrows furrowed even more. What? Why? He thought.

"Drink up, Tae. You must be thirsty." Jeongguk said, supporting the elder as he slowly sits up.

Taehyung groaned, feeling immense pain in his ribs and elbows as he tried to move them.

"You're still recovering, don't move too much, Tae," Jeongguk said in a worried voice.

Taehyung drank slowly, water dripped down his chin as he couldn't move his jaw that much.

The grey-haired male looked at his body. He's wearing a blue hospital gown, oxygen (A/N: correct me if I'm wrong because I'm not really sure what it is called), and a neck brace. His right leg is cemented, hence why he couldn't move it. Wounds and bruises can be seen on his exposed skin and he's sure that he has more inside the hospital gown.

Taehyung lay down slowly with the help of Jeongguk and Jimin.

"Th-three days? What happened?" Taehyung asked in a weak voice. Heart beating rapidly.

Was it really all a dream? All the good things that happened? Was it really all just a dream?

"A car hit you after we had an argument. The driver said you ran across the road and he couldn't hit the breaks when he saw you since it was raining and the road was slippery." Jeongguk said.

"Yes, because you thought that Jiyeon bitch is more important than Taehyung." Jimin rolled his eyes and tucked Taehyung's hair behind his ear softly.

"I've regretted it already, Hyung. Stop reminding me." Jeongguk groaned.

Jimin rolled his eyes once again and pulled out his phone to text someone.

"I'm sorry for being the worst best friend ever, Tae. This shouldn't have happened if I didn't bring Jiyeon to our place." Jeongguk apologized and gently held the elder's cold hands.

Taehyung's eyes stung before tears streamed down his face, ribs aching as he sobbed.

"Tae? Why are you crying? Does something hurt?" Jimin asked placing his phone down the table next to Taehyung's hospital bed.

My heart hurts. I'm hurt by the fact that it felt so real. That I'm still Jeongguk's best fucking friend in real life.

Taehyung sniffled, forcefully trying to stop wailing as his chest hurts.

"Taebaby! You're awake! I bought you your favorite food. There's watermelon here, too." Jin said after stepping foot inside Taehyung's room.

A familiar ash brown-haired male came inside after Jin did.

"Wait, why are you crying? Which part hurts? Stop crying or that'll hurt, even more, Taehyungie." Jin said with concern lacing his voice.

Taehyung calmed down when Jeongguk repeatedly kissed his knuckles.

"Hi, I'm Park Minjae. I'm the owner of the car that hit you. I'll pay for your hospital bill and medicine. Sorry for the inconvenience." Minjae bowed in ninety degrees.

Taehyung furrowed his eyebrows, "M-minjae?" He asked, heart beating two times faster.

Minjae nodded and gave the other a nervous smile, afraid that the grey head will be furious after seeing his face.

"Y-you have a sibling named Keila, right?" Taehyung asked, voice wavering slightly.

"Yes... But I haven't introduced her to you yet. How'd you know her name?" Minjae asked in awe.

"I-I don't know... And do you have a friend named Jisung?" Taehyung asked once again.

"Uhm, yes?" Minjae answered, unsure.

"He'll throw a party, right?" Taehyung asked and winced when he tried to sit.

"How'd you know? You're in a coma for three days? He announced his party just yesterday..." Minjae asked, raising both of his eyebrows.

Taehyung looked at Jeongguk who looked at him in confusion, "You've written Jiyeon a poem, right? On a pink paper? And all of you guys are invited, right?" He asked.

Jeongguk nodded, not knowing how to react nor what to say.

Did I just predict the future?

Guess Jeongguk will still be his boyfriend in real life, huh.
