Author's POV

"Okay, why are we here for the third time this month? " Jeonghan asked, annoyed as his Sunday just got ruined by the sudden emergency meeting, Taehyung called them for.

Right now they were at their usual cafe, near the office where all of them meet when one of them needs their help.

Before their meeting weren't this often, only once in two or three months. But in this past month, it's their third time visiting it and the reason is the same - Taehyung needs their help, again.

"Y'know I'm not paid enough for this. Like one Sunday is all I ask for, ONE SUNDAY! " Jimin said and lightly slammed the table.

"Such disloyal friends you all are!" Taehyung commented.

"Our loyalty is limited till Saturday, on a Sunday, the only person we're loyal to, is us " Joshua retorted.

Taehyung rolled his eyes on his friends. "Anyway, I want to tell you all something. It might be surprising, I'm surprised myself, but it's true and I'm sure of it " he said.

"C'mon now don't build up suspense just tell us " Jimin said and yawned.

"I realised that I love Jungkook " Taehyung said, waiting for his friends' response but he got none.

"Congratulations! You're the last person to realise it. " Jeonghan commented after a moment. Taehyung was baffled. "Wait, so that means you all have already figured it out? " he questioned. All of them nodded. "I mean it wasn't hard to figure out especially witnessing the way your face lit up whenever Jungkook was around. " Joshua pointed out. "You looked like a lovesick puppy around him " he added.

"One question, when did your oblivious brain finally acknowledged your feelings? " Jeonghan asked munching his corndog which just arrived.

Taehyung narrated them the whole incident of the night of his brother's engagement.

"So when are you deciding to confess?" Joshua asked.

"That's why I called you all here. I've no idea about how to confess. I don't even know whether Jungkook reciprocates my feelings or not. " he expressed his concerned.

"I think he does reciprocates you feelings " Jimin said. "You know the night of the engagement, where you both fought, after he came back home he told me everything. He even told me how much he got worried thinking what would happen next. He didn't wanted to drift away from you. In the short span of time, he had imagined hundreds of scenarios but he felt so relieved when you talked to him again. "

"He too felt scared at the thought of being away from you, just like you. There's a high chance that he too want you in his life the same way you does. " he said.

Though Jimin told the truth, he knowingly hid one thing. That was Jungkook telling him about his feelings for Taehyung. Yes, he said that he had realised his feelings for Taehyung and Jimin was the first one he told this to. Though Jimin can tell Taehyung about this, he would want them to tell each other directly.

The thought of Jungkook liking him the same way he does, made Taehyung feel a weird feeling in stomach.

"And about the confession part, I'm sure we all have seen enough romantic dramas to help you with that. " Jeonghan said.

"Really? You can help me? " Taehyung asked in disbelief.

"Yup, but remember our services aren't for free. " Joshua jokingly said and the others nodded in agreement.

"Which cuisine Korean or Chinese? " Taehyung asked knowing exactly what his friends want in return.

"ITALIAN! " all of them exclaimed together as if they had already planned it all.

After a few more chit chat, they finally concluded their "emergency meeting "

After a few days it was finally time to execute their 'plan '

For Jungkook it was just another normal day in office so he just worked, listened to music, daydreamed and thought about Taehyung. He still was thinking what to do about his unexpected feelings for. Whether he should confess and risk his friendship and job or should he play it safe and keep his feelings secret. He wished that if only they had met under different circumstances and didn't had such a great difference between their status, then he might imagine them being more than just friends.

While for Taehyung, today was a very important day. He was freaking out internally. He has no idea whether his plan would be a success or not. Stressed about the possible outcomes, he opened his phone and saw a message from Jimin.

Park Jimin
All the best for today 👍
I hope he says yes
I can't wait to see my roomie and best friend in a relationship together OMG!!

"Dramatic as always" Taehyung thought.

Another messaged popped up, it was Jeonghan.

Yoon Jeonghan
It's today right?
Good luck beforehand only
And remember not to stress or over think much, confessions can be pretty stressful.

"I'm sure he's panicking more than me but still is trying to help me. " Taehyung commented in his mind. He could feel the corners of his lips lift up and form a little smile. Just as he was about to close his mobile, another message came, this time from Joshua.

Joshua
I have rechecked everything and everything is completed.
Also I wish you all the best and I believe that it would be a success.
Don't need thank us, it's the least we can do ;)

"I'm blessed for having friends like you all " Taehyung thought.

He finally closed his mobile and mustered up his courage for what he was going to ask. "Jungkook? " he called and got a "hmm? " as a response.

He took a deep breath in "Wouldyouliketogosomewherewithmelikeadatetonight? " he asked in one breath.

Jungkook stopped typing and looked at Taehyung with his eyebrows furrowed in confusion.

"What? Can you repeat it again? This time with space between the words " he asked.

"I was asking if would you like to go somewhere with me? Like a date tonight? " Taehyung asked again, his heart beating faster than before.

Hearing the question, he can see the red blush on Jungkook's cheeks and Taehyung was sure that his own cheeks were in the same condition. Jungkook couldn't help but smile, he was a bit baffled by the unexpected question

"S-sure, I would love to. " he finally replied.

"Great then! Be ready by nine, okay? " Tae said, trying to hide his excitement.

His mind was a mess. Jungkook doesn't know what to say or do. He was sitting beside Taehyung on the passenger seat, quietly fumbling with his fingers. None of them talked much causing tension and awkwardness to be created.

Jungkook was only thinking where were they going. Taehyung hadn't told him anything about it, making Jungkook think about all the possible places they could. He doesn't know whether it's a formal, friendly or a real date, nonetheless he was just happy to have a chance to go on a date with Taehyung.

The car stopped and Jungkook immediately looked outside to find where were they.

"A beach? " Jungkook asked wide eyed. He has seen late night beach dates in movie and have always dreamt for such a moment.

"You like it? " Taehyung looking at him.

"Like it? I love it!"

"Great then! There's also a beach hotel nearby where we're going to have dinner. It might not be huge or very impressive for a date but I guarantee that the food there is amazing. " he said coming out of the car.

Taehyung walked across the car and opened the car's door for Jungkook.

"Mr Kim, being here on a date with you, alone itself is a very huge thing for me and don't worry I absolutely love taking a stroll around the beach at night. " Jungkook said stepping out of the car.

They both started walking beside each other. Once a while their hands would brush together and they would immediately retract them back with bright red blush on their face.

They reached the beach restaurant which was completely empty, not even a single customer was there.

"I thought there would be a bunch of people here but it's empty. Pretty strange " Jungkook commented. "Yeah strange. " Taehyung said trying hard not to spill the truth that he had actually rented the whole restaurant for a few hours.

"C'mon let's take a seat " he said, trying to change the subject.

They took their seat and ordered their food.

After the waiter left to go prepare their order, there was no one else other than Taehyung and Jungkook. Jungkook was admiring the view of the restaurant, it was a beautiful place giving homely vibes.

"What's in your hand? " Jungkook asked Taehyung who was holding something in his hands.

Taehyung tried to subtly hide it "Nothing much " he said

A few moments later, Taehyung cleared his throat gaining the other's attention.

"Jungkook, I've something to say "

The said male froze all his actions and diverted his attention to his boss.

"The moment our eyes met for the first time, I felt something different and weird inside me, I even got a strange feeling when I shook hands with you. At first I tried to remove it a lot but I couldn't, it was frustrating to be honest but as time went by I started accepting it, realising it and trying to hide it until recently. The day of the engagement party, I realised that I can't hide it further and I needed to tell you about it. " he explained.

"I don't know whether love would be the correct definition of my feelings. I don't know whether I can define my feelings in one word or not. Without you my life is just like the night sky on a new moon night, empty, lonely and filled with darkness. Believe me I'm not exaggerating when I say that you're that ray of moonlight which lit up my whole life. " he took a deep breath, "I love you Jeon Jungkook, I really do. If I could, I would keep you with me for my whole life. " he exhaled. "That's it. " Jungkook thought, he believes he won't be alive to hear the next words as his heart might just stop.

"And now I'm going to ask you the most important question, trust me, even if your answer is negative nothing will change between us so you are under no pressure to say yes. It's completely your own choice. " he stood up from the chair, knelt down facing Jungkook and forwarded his palm towards him.

"Will you be my-"

"Yes!" Jungkook answered even before Taehyung could ask.

Taehyung chuckled at this unexpected reaction.

"Yes, I would love to be your boyfriend. " Jungkook answered again intertwining their palms.

Blush crept on both of their faces. A wide smile plastered on their lips. Taehyung then took out something from his pocket and tied it around Jungkook's wrist.

"Thank you for being my moon " he said.

Jungkook looked at the bracelet tied around his wrist in awe. It was a beautiful silver chained bracelet with a shining moon in the center

"It's beautiful " his words came out as mere wishpers.

"Just like you " Taehyung said.

Jungkook was holding back tears. It was the first time he felt so loved. He was born an orphan, the only person he ever called family was Jimin until now.

"Thank you for having me as a moon in your life. " he said.

Taehyung pulled the younger into a hug

Confessions are so hard to write and plan, it took me almost a week to write it (not to mention that I didn't wrote for 2-3 days straight as I was too busy watching Semantic error)
