I am so dyslexic it’s not okay. Good luck trying to figure out what the fuck I mean half the time. Some of these sentences don’t actually make sense but just look the other way for me okay thanks bye.

“Jeongguk, what in fuck’s name are you wearing?” Taehyung complains angrily as he stares despairingly at his stupid, brainless best friend. 5 minutes ago, Jeongguk had showed up at his door at the agreed time of 6:30pm, ready to go together to the Halloween party their friend was hosting. Except his costume was not at all what he said he was going to wear and Taehyung is filled with absolute rage as he takes in the ridiculous get up. “I thought we agreed that you were not showing up to the party as a minion?”

“Uhh...banana?”

“If you knew how close I was to punching you in the goddamn face then you would not be making any jokes right now.” Taehyung seethes. “I can’t believe you’d fucking do this to me at the last minute! We were gonna enter the couples contest!”

“Taehyung, relax; everything’s gonna be fine.”

“No it’s not going to be fine! How can I show up as Andy without Buzz Lightyear? It was Andy and Buzz, not Andy and some random fucking Minion.”

“It’s not some random minion; I’m going as Dave specifically.” Jeongguk defends.

“Either way, you’re going by yourself so have fun.” Taehyung yells in betrayal as he angrily tugs off his cowboy hat and throws it on the floor before storming off towards his bedroom.

“Tae.” Jeongguk calls out, “Taehyung.” He sighs as he picks up the hat from the floor and walks over to his best friend, grabbing his arm before he can reach his bedroom. Taehyung glares at the floor and refuses to make eye contact as Jeongguk tips his head up with one hand and carefully puts the hat back on Tae’s head. The close proximity makes his heart race and admittedly, most of his anger dissipates at his gentle touch.

“It’s going to be fine, okay? Screw the stupid competition. Let's just go and have fun with our friends and we can enter the competition next time, hm? You make a beautiful Andy, even without Buzz. But I'm still sorry I came as a minion.” Jeongguk speaks gently as he tries to calm his friend down.

“You’re the worst person ever.” Tae complains.

“I know.”

“And you look ridiculous.”

“I know.”

“And we might’ve had a shot at winning too.”

“Sorry.”

“And you’re gonna get absolutely 0 pussy looking like a fucking cheese string.”

“I’m not looking for any so I don’t really mind. I just want you to be happy and come with me to the party, pretty boy.”

Taehyung scowls with his arms crossed petulantly across his chest and nods begrudgingly, trying to tamp down on his wild feelings, masking his elation at the little nickname.

“Fine.” He agrees after a while, “But you’re driving.”

“There we go” Jeongguk says happily,stretching out a hand to boop at Tae’s nose. “I knew you’d come around.”

“Next time, I’m going with Jimin.” Taehyung mutters and Jeongguk just laughs heartily as he picks up Tae’s keys and tugs his friend towards the door, ready to go fucking crazy at their annual Halloween party.

●

The hours pass by in a blinding neon flash and Taehyung finds himself feeling incredibly lightheaded. He and Jimin had drank a worrying number of shots and danced like crazed maniacs, bumping and grinding against each other on the dance floor before passing out in the middle of the room, only to wake up an hour later and do it all again. Taehyung’s sure there had been some ecstasy taken at one point, but his mind is so fuzzy that he doesn’t even bother trying to remember. It was either a drug or a parma violet and it was far too late to care now.

He checks his phone in his pocket and sees that the time is 23:03pm. Jesus christ, had it only been 4 hours? He knows he tends to lose track of time at parties without Jeongguk’s presence there to keep him in check and stop him from being too reckless with alcohol. That’s probably why his limbs feel like jelly and his head feels as though it's about to explode any second now. He looks around, dazed, eyes searching the room for his best friend. Jeongguk is lounging on a burgundy sofa in the corner of the room, holding a bottle of beer in one hand as the other traces a random pattern on the thigh of the girl sitting next to him.

If Taehyung’s heartbeat wasn’t erratic before, it sure is now.

He’s unsure whether or not the queasy feeling bubbling in his throat is from the excessive alcohol or from the sight in front of him, but either way he feels as though he’s going to be sick. The girl is giggling and laughing, face stretched out into a gorgeous, captivating smile as she converses with Jeongguk. She reaches forwards and fiddles with the brown hat that’s on Jeongguk’s head.

Hey, that’s my hat. Taehyung thinks bitterly to himself as he sits up on the sofa and rubs at his eyes blearily. She should get her hands off my hat.

He groans as he stands up and stretches out his limbs, bones tired and achy from his recklessness. The bell around his neck jingles obnoxiously, and that’s what catches Jeongguk’s attention. He tears
his eyes away from the girl beside him and smiles warmly at Taehyung.

“Tae, you’re awake!” Jeongguk calls out. “You were passed out for like an hour. I had to move you from the floor and onto the sofa.”

“Fuck, no way.”

“Yeah way. I had to carry your dumbass all the way up the stairs. You're fucking fat.” Jeongguk complains but there’s no malice in his voice.

“Shut your face.” Taehyung laughs as he walks over towards him. “Where’s Jimin?"

“He and Yoongi fucked off to god knows where.” Guk takes his hand off the girl’s thigh and wraps it around Tae’s waist instead. “Anyway, how are you feeling?”

Taehyung’s heart skips a beat.

“Fine, I guess. If we ignore the throbbing headache and my dry throat.”

“Wanna sip?” Guk gestures towards the beer in his hand.

“Nah, I think I'll puke if I have another taste of alcohol. I do need some fresh air though.”

“Let’s go outside then.”

“I-It’s okay. You don’t have to come. Stay and finish your conversation.” Tae declines, feeling somewhat bad for stealing Jeongguk away from the girl. Even though he was bitter about their touchy-feely conversation, he still knew it was rude to just whisk Jeongguk away from her completely.

The cold, soft breeze from the October sky was much needed by Taehyung, and he graciously allowed it to cool his burning skin. He exhaled, watching the condensation swirl in the night air as he tried to sober himself up.

The sight of Jeongguk easily talking with the girl next to him, was swirling up a bubbling mess of hatred inside him and he desperately wanted it to stop before it ruined his night completely.

Taehyung had a crush on Jeongguk.

He had had one for almost 2 entire years, just overwhelmingly infatuated with his charismatic best friend. Watching Jeongguk flirt so successfully, even painted in a stupid yellow colour, was just further proof that he was indeed way out of Taehyung’s league and further cemented the fact that Taehyung had absolutely no chance at dating him.

He sighed.

“Aren’t you cold?” Jeongguk asks, startling Taehyung. “Take my jacket.”

“Last time I checked; minions don’t wear leather.”

“And cowboys don’t have fangs, but you still put them on anyway.”

“Touche.”

“You make such a cute vampire cowboy.”

“Guk-”

“It’s true. I wouldn’t mind if you bit me tonight.” He laughs.

“You’re a dick. Hey, what happened to that girl you were talking to? You didn’t just ditch her, did you?” Tae deflects, knowing he’s not emotionally strong enough to deal with Jeongguk’s compliments tonight.

“Nah, she left on her own, shortly after you did.”

“Why?”

“No reason, I guess.”

“Fair enough. Next question:"

“Is this an interrogation, or what?”

“Yes. No. Shut up. When did we swap hats and why?” Tae asks as he fiddles with the blue beanie sitting comfortably on his head.

“It was while we were dancing, you-”

“We danced together?!”

“Yeah, we did. You're incredibly touchy-feely.” Guk chuckles.

“Fuck, no way. I thought I was dancing with Jimin.”

“You did, but after I handed you over to him. I quite like my crotch intact, so I had to bow out of being your dance partner. It was fun while it lasted though.”

“This is so fucking embarrassing.”

“Don’t worry about it, dude. I'm glad you were drunk because that means you don’t remember me falling on top of you. That’s embarrassing.”

“We are such losers.”

“Indeed. But anyway, wanna head back inside? There's a really cool room I wanna show you.”

“Sure, why not. Anything to sober up.”

●

They head back inside, walking through the hallways and going down the stairs towards the basement.

“You’re not planning to kill me, are you? My arse is too fat for me to die.” Taehyung jokes.

“Relax, pussy. I'm not going to kill you yet. I just wanna show you this place.”

“Yet?” Taehyung questions, but Jeongguk just laughs and doesn’t comment further. They push open the basement door to reveal a large white room with fluorescent decorations all over the place. Every item is glow in the dark and there are pens and plastic stars and paints that shine brightly under the light.

“Holy shit, this is awesome.”

“I know, right? There were loads of people in here before but everyone’s all gone. We have the room to ourselves now.”

“Sweet.” Taehyung says, picking up a pen.

“Gimme your face.”

“Huh?”

“Gimme your face. I wanna draw something.” He repeats, holding Guk’s face in his hands and using a pink pen to draw on his cheek. His heart pounds wildly in his chest as he confidently draws and he knows there’s no backing out now. He takes a step back and smiles at his artwork.

“You drew a dick, didn’t you.” Jeongguk accuses sceptically.

“No?”

“You penis, give me the pen.” Jeongguk laughs as he takes his time to write some words on Tae’s face.

“Okay, I know for a fact you wrote I eat ass.”

“It’s only fair for the dick you drew on me.”

“I-I didn’t draw a dick.”

“What did you draw? Boobs? It was something circular.”

“I’m not telling.”

“I’ll just go under the light and see.”

“No! L-Let's just go find the others before they wander too far.” Tae panics, immediately regretting his bold decision from before.

Jeongguk absolutely cannot find out about his crush on him, otherwise it’d be the end of their friendship for sure. In a flustered panic, Tae licks his thumb and tries to smudge what he drew.

“Tae, you’re being so weird about it.” Jeongguk says as he slaps his hand away, “I don’t actually care if it’s a dick.”

“Still, let’s just go, okay?”

“Is it a vagina?”

“Jeongguk.”

“A pair of eyes?”

“Please-”

“A smiley face?”

“J-Just drop it.”

“Tae, we’re not leaving until I find out what you put. I was joking before, but now I'm suspicious.”

An unsettling feeling began welling in Taehyung’s gut and his hands began to tremble at his sides as Jeongguk walks over towards the mirror and examines his face in the light to see what horrible, god-awful, henious thing that Taehyung had drawn on his face.

A pink love-heart sat prettily on his cheek.

Oh.

Oh.

“I’m sorry.” Tae whispers, terrified out of his mind. “I-I overstepped a boundary.”

“Tae-”

“N-No no it's my fault. I'm sorry for being so weird, Jeongguk. I've probably ruined your night and I’m so sorry.” Taehyung rambles.

“I know you don’t like me back and I’ve completely messed everything up and I understand if you don’t wanna see me ever again and I know I've fucking ruined your whole night and I'm so sorry Jeongguk. I should...I should leave.”

“Taehyung, it’s okay.” Jeongguk reassures, once again grabbing Taehyung’s arm to keep him from leavivng. “Really, It’s okay. I...I like you too."

“You don’t have to pretend to like me, Jeongguk I-I'll just go before I make things worse and-”

“Who said anything about pretending?”

“Guk-”

“I’m serious, Tae. I-I really do like you too. I've liked you for a while, actually. I just...didn’t know how to tell you, because I thought I'd ruin our friendship.”

“Oh, Jeongguk.”

“You’re way out of my league, and especially tonight, even dressed like a fucking cowboy, you’re still the most gorgeous person here.”

“B-But what about the girl from before? You were clearly flirting with her.”

“I was, but it didn’t really mean anything. I just wanted to distract myself from you. She uh...She left me after a while because she said I was talking about you too much.”

“S-So you mean it, then? You really do like me back?”

“A lot.” Jeongguk confirms and Taehyung beams as he walks over and throws himself into Guk’s embrace.

“I wasn’t really thinking when I drew the heart on you. I was so scared you’d hate me for it, but now I don’t regret it at all.” He admits bashfully, kissing Jeongguk on the cheek briefly. “I can’t believe this is happening.”

“It’s a halloween miracle.”

“Those don’t exist.”

“Yes they do.”

“No, they don’t you fucking moron.”

“Then what would you call this then?”

“Just a regular ordinary miracle.”

“I feel like that’s the complete opposite of a miracle.”

“Shut up.”

“You know what would be miraculous, though?”

“Hm?”

“A spooky Halloween kiss to mark the start of our relationship.”

“Guk, your mouth is yellow.”

“So?”

“I really like you, but I'm not kissing your yellow lips.”

“The paint won’t rub off onto you. You'll be absolutely fine.”

“No."

“Please?”

“No.”

“You’re so shallow.”

“Yeah.”

“And superficial.”

“Mhm.”

“I take back my confession. I offically hate Kim Taeh-”

Taehyung shuts Jeongguk up with a mildly aggressive kiss to the lips and rolls his eyes when they pull away, to mask his excitement and pretend like his heart isn’t about to combust.

“There. Happy now?”

“Your lips are yellow.” Jeongguk giggles immaturely.

“I fucking knew it.”

“That was our first kiss.” He beams, “What did you think?”

“Why are you narrating like a news reporter?”

“I’m just happy, you know? You actually like me back. And I know you’re not lying, because you confessed while I look like this. And you kissed me.”

“I can’t believe I kissed a minion.” Taehyung says, staring into Jeongguk’s eyes.

“Dave the minion.”

“Shut up.”

“Hey Tae?”

“Hm?”

“I like you so much.”

“I like you too, Guk.”

“Happy Halloween.”

“Happy Minion-ween.”

“Shut your fucking face.”
