"Tae Tae dear, you're so handsome."

Granny greeted after Taehyung went out of his room. It's prom night and the brunette is wearing the suit he borrowed from Jungkook. He stood at the center of the small living room and grins widely at his grandmother.

"Really Granny? Do you think Jungkook would like this?" He gestured for his outfit.

"Of course darling. Come here, let's fix your hair." Granny replied and reached for the comb at the table. She began to raise her hand that's clutching the comb and tries to comb Taehyung's hair. Taehyung, noticing his grandmother's struggle in reaching his hair, sits down and let's himself be groomed.

"Ah you're getting taller son. I can't even reach you now!" Granny chuckled.

Taehyung also followed his grandma chuckling. "But I'll always be the same Tae Tae, Granny."

"Yes, you'll always be my baby Tae Tae." Granny then squished his cheeks after combing his hair, causing for Taehyung to pout and laughter echoing the house.

A knock interrupted their little moment and Taehyung exclaimed, "Omo! That must be Jungkook!"

"I'll get it." Granny said and walked to the door, while Taehyung is straightening his suit.

As Granny opened the door, she was also greeted with a handsome young man in a suit and tie. She smiled widely at Jungkook and felt thankful that her grandson has someone he can call a friend.

Jungkook also smiled widely, showing his bunny teeth, at the sight of Granny. "Hello, Granny!"

"Hello, Jungkook dear." She replied back with a smile and gestured for him to come in. "You look handsome."

"Thanks Granny."

Jungkook stopped in his tracks when he saw Taehyung. The brunette felt awkward at how the raven head was looking at him.

"H-hi.."

Jungkook smiled widely, his eyes sparkling. "You're gorgeous Tae.."

Taehyung widened his eyes from Jungkook's words. Did he hear wrong?

"W-what did you say?"

"I said you're gorgeous." Jungkook repeated louder than before. He then casually walked towards Taehyung and gently removed his eye glasses. "There. Better."

Taehyung blinked and he can't believe how Jungkook can be so sweet. The raven head still continued to stare at his exposed eyes, looking like he was mesmerized.

Granny quietly cleared her throat and whispered, "Excuse me, I'll be in the kitchen." Then walked off.

Taehyung shyly looked at Jungkook's appearance also and he admits the raven head is handsome and dazzling as well. "Thank you. Y-you look gorgeous as well." He whispered.

Now with the suit and tie, Jungkook looked like a prince, and Taehyung felt embarrassed for looking so plain and boring to be with Jungkook.

Jungkook smiled widely. "Thanks." Then he gently grabbed Taehyung's hand. "Let's go?"

Taehyung nodded and as they both reached the door, he gasped as he remembered something. "Wait." He quickly ran to his room leaving the younger confused.

The brunette directly reached the table of his room where a plain vase was situated. There stood the white rose, its stem soaked in water to avoid it wilting. But then, some of its leaves have fallen off and a few petals are gradually fading its color.

Nevertheless, Taehyung still clutched it, not also forgetting to carry the small box of contact lenses, and went back outside to the waiting maknae. He will just put the lenses on when they arrive at the venue.

He hides the rose behind him and Jungkook was intrigued what could make the older went back to his room.

"What is it?" Jungkook asked.

Taehyung slowly revealed the white rose from his back and lent it to Jungkook. "For you.." He mumbled shyly and bit his lower lip.

Jungkook's eyebrows were lifted in surprise. "F-for me?"

"Yeah.. I know its not the best and not as vibrant as the other roses. I'm sorry that's all I can give, but I promise I'll buy you much prettier next time--"

Jungkook chuckled and gently received the rose and said, "What are you talking about, Tae. I love it. I love white roses, you know!" Then he intertwined their hands and walked towards the door after saying goodbye to Granny.

Both boys got into Jungkook's car and at first, Taehyung was confused as to why the younger isn't starting the ignition yet. His confusion deepened more when Jungkook reached at the backseat of the car and revealed a bouquet of white roses. A bouquet!

"Uh.. I also got something for you.." Its now Jungkook's turn to be shy.

Taehyung widened his eyes at the bunch of roses held by Jungkook just for him. He couldn't believe that the maknae is giving him flowers. And what a coincidence that they both thought of white roses to be exact.

"A-are you sure these are for me?"

Jungkook chuckled awkwardly, "Of course."

"Uhm. Thank you.. You shouldn't have bothered.." Taehyung said as the bouquet is now in his hands.

"I want to, Tae. Don't mind it."

Jungkook replied smiling widely as he starts the ignition and they drove off to the silent night.

When they arrived at the venue, students were in suits and dresses also, and seems like their attention was stolen by the two.

Wow, Taehyung looked...nice.

What? Taehyung and Jungkook?

Are they together again? I thought Jungkook's with Yugyeom.

Bruh. I'm done with their complicated shit. Imma dance.

And many more reactions Taehyung heard from their not so discreet whispers. He felt Jungkook gently squeezed his hand.

"Don't mind them. I'm here for you." Jungkook whispered in Taehyung's ear, brushing his lips to his lobe. The older shivered slightly and looked down, avoiding the stares of everyone and hiding his reddening face.

They met Hoseok and Jimin, and the two also looked handsome in their suits. Together, they sat at a table and began chatting. Not long after, dinner was served and it was a large buffet at each table.

Taehyung scanned his eyes looking for Yugyeom. He wondered where he was and after a while, his eyes finally met the one he was looking for. Yugyeom had a blank look on his face, but as soon as he realized Taehyung was looking at him, he grinned widely. That relieved Taehyung as he smiled back.

The room is full of chatting students in suits and dresses and walls with fancy decorations. All of them indulging the delicious food served at the table, and Taehyung never knew that prom can be this wonderful.

Soon after, a soft music was being played, indicating that the dance floor is free for everyone to dance. Taehyung was shocked when a hand was layed in front of him. And as he looks upon the owner of the hand, his heart beats a little faster when his eyes met Jeon Jungkook.

"Shall we dance?"

Taehyung blinked first, comprehending what the younger asked. Then as his brain fully realized what the situation was, he nodded quickly and took the younger's hand in his.

Jungkook smiled at the blushing older as he leads both of them to the center of the dance floor. He silently brought the older closer to his body and held his waist, feeling the comfortable warmth of the older. Taehyung laid his hands on Jungkook's shoulders and kept on looking down, shy to make eye contact with the other.

Heart beats fast
Colours and promises

They both slowly swayed together with the music. Both gradually living in their own world, everything that surrounds them disappearing. Its now only the two of them.

How to be brave?
How can I love when I'm afraid to fall..

Taehyung suddenly felt a hand lifting his chin. He lets himself look up to the face of his beloved, eyes meeting the one who controls his heart.

For a moment they both stared at each other, eyes not awkward anymore and letting their hearts beat louder in their chests. Taehyung lets himself be exposed, lets his feelings pour out through his eyes. He lets Jungkook see through his eyes.

And Jungkook did the same.

"Thank you, Tae.." Jungkook whispered.

"For what?" Taehyung answered in the same manner.

"For accepting me again, for taking care of me, for being so nice, for always making me smile..."

The corner of Taehyung's lips lifted at that. Why is he being like this? Just the sight of Jungkook like this, all of his worries and fears melted away into nothing.

"You're welcome."

"The list goes on, and I wish you're always there.." The look Jungkook is giving him wants Taehyung to believe that the younger loves him. That he's the only one the maknae wants.

"Yeah?" Taehyung chuckled. He felt giddy honestly.

"Yeah. And I want you to know that I care deeply for you, Tae." Jungkook started to caress his cheek with his thumb, then slowly went to hold his chin.

One step closer..

They both stared at each other again. Just feeling each other's heart beats against their leaning chests.

Then slowly, Jungkook started leaning in, eyes now staring at the brunette's lips. Taehyung slowly closed his eyes, also waiting for the familiar lips he had grown to love.

One step closer...

Softness met halfway and hearts started to drum loudly, deafening both males. Jungkook pulled Taehyung closer as possible and the latter now encloses his arms around the younger's neck.

This time, the kiss is sweet and innocent, no tongues and teeth along the way. They moved with just their lips, sighing in contentment from the sweetness their lips gave.

Jungkook and Taehyung kissed at the center of the dance floor, letting this moment engrave in their hearts. To Taehyung, Jungkook's lips are sweeter than candy, sweeter than any pastry in the world. To Jungkook, the brunette's lips are like drugs. His sweetest addiction.

They broke apart and looked at each other's eyes again, unaware of the shocked looks from the people around. Then Jungkook leaned his forehead against Taehyung, feeling lighter and happier than he'll ever be.

"Kookie?" Taehyung whispered hesitantly. He wanted to ask the younger what is this all about. Even though he's scared of the answer, he would still ask to silence his worries.

Jungkook just hummed while closing his eyes.

"W-what are we?"

That had Jungkook slowly opened his eyes and looked directly at Taehyung.

"What do you want us to be?" He whispered back.

"I-i don't know. This was all too unexpected. Y-you and Yugyeom, right? But why me? W-why are you kissing me? W-why bother go with me to the prom--"

"Shh"

Taehyung was silenced by Jungkook's forefinger on his lips.

"Don't think too much Tae. Let's just make this simple.." Jungkook said after removing his finger from Taehyung's lips.

The brunette kept quiet, waiting for Jungkook's next words.

"Will you be mine...for real this time?"

Taehyung's breath hitched and he felt like he was suddenly floating on air. He's knees wobbled and they stopped swaying for a bit. Jungkook looked at him in concern.

"W-what are you saying?"

"Please be mine Tae. Please say yes.."

Taehyung felt his tears gathering but he didn't let it fall. He doesn't want to cry at this moment.

He just can't believe his wish is finally coming true. Jeon Jungkook is asking him to be his. And who is he to say no?

"Y-y-yes.."

Jungkook smiled widely reaching his ears, bunny teeth showing. He then quietly chuckled and that made Taehyung smile too, despite his tears. Jungkook thought Taehyung looked so cute smiling while crying. He laughed, letting his stomach feel giddy and their skin tingling from each other's touch. He laughed happily, his shoulder's shaking and that made Taehyung laugh also.

Taehyung hugged Jungkook from the sudden burst of emotions. He hugged him tightly and the younger hugged back. The brunette laid his head on the younger's shoulder, feeling all the bliss from being in each other's arms.

The brunette then whispered, "I love you.."

He felt Jungkook hummed and gently kissed his temple.

Taehyung never knew that prom can be this wonderful.

"Jiminie, I have something to tell you.."

Hoseok whispered to Jimin as they are also slowly dancing at the dance floor. The older asked the younger earlier to dance with him, and Jimin, thinking that its just his hyung wanting to dance, went along.

"Yes hyung? Did you put your rotten socks at my locker again?" Jimin answered back, his eyes crinkling from mischief.

"What the? No! How many times do I have to tell you it was Jeon who did that." Hoseok said defensively. Their conversation can't even be serious in five seconds.

"Right." Jimin muttered as they continued to dance.

Hoseok's heart beats faster as he stared at his younger best friend. Jimin's eyes are sparkling under the dim lights of the prom venue, his hair shiny and his smile curing every cancer in the world.

He didn't even expect himself to be like this. To have feelings for Jimin. His past self must be laughing at him right now. He cleared his throat before continuing what he's about to say.

"Jimin, I need to tell you something."

Jimin lifted his head and Hoseok's breath hitched at the younger's eyes. He felt like he was being nailed at the spot and cannot move.

"What happened to your feet hyung? Why aren't you dancing? Is the dance boring for you? You want us to show popping and b-boy?" Jimin continuously asked the older grinning. Despite being the younger so talkative, Hoseok can't help himself to stay speechless and mesmerized.

"N-no. What I mean is.. Uh..I want to.. You know.. Uh.."

"Hyung is stupid. He can't even finish a sentence." Jimin laughed at his hyung's dumb state.

The younger continued to laugh at his bestfriend, and Hoseok was so done with this. He wants to get it out of his chest. He wants to get it over with.

"I like you Jimin."

That stopped Jimin mid-laugh.

"What?" He blurted out and laughed again, this time awkwardly.

"I like you so much." Hoseok gulped, scared of what would be Jimin's reaction. But then, he felt a weight lifted off his chest.

He peeked at Jimin's face and felt his heart sink when he saw the disappointed look of his best friend.

"You're joking, right?"

Hoseok felt his heart sink more. Why would he joke on his own feelings?

"No. Why would I joke with my own feelings? I like you, even more than a friend."

Jimin stopped dancing, or should I say moving side to side.

"Jimin..I like you. Can you give me a chance?" Hoseok added, desperation slowly rising in his chest as he sees the younger looking down with a hint of sadness on his face.

"Hyung.. W-what are you saying? Stop pranking me."

Hoseok can't take this any longer. He felt the frustration bubbling up because why can't Jimin believe him? Is this the prize of being the jokester in their group of friends?

With a slight anger and the feeling of wanting to prove everything to Jimin, he suddenly pulled Jimin closer and kissed his lips.

Jimin widened his eyes at the sudden action of his best friend. He can't believe Hoseok will do this to him. He felt himself wanting to cry from the sudden invasion of his space.

The younger started to push Hoseok's body away, but the older wouldn't budge. He then pushed one more time, putting all his strength, and that got to tear Hoseok away from him.

"Hyung.. How dare you.." Jimin mumbled, eyes filled with tears and fury. His lips slightly shiny and swollen from Hoseok's desperate kiss.

Upon realizing what he had done, Hoseok immediately regretted his actions. He moved closer to Jimin in hopes to touch him, but the latter just moved away.

"Jimin.."

"Don't.."

Then Hoseok felt his heart broke finally when Jimin started walking away, out of the place. Out of Hoseok's grasp.
