"Can everyone leave for some time? I need to discuss something important with my hyungs." Taehyung commanded while staring into Bora's deep orbs.

Bora was about to leave as well until Taehyung's hand halted her in her tracks. "You are needed here." When she looked up without turning to face her bias, a few staff members had stopped too. "The rest of you can go for a bit." Taehyung made the others leave by gently smiling.

The members were curious as well as puzzled. They exchanged glances but couldn't make out what was happening. Taehyung was already glancing at Bora when she eventually turned around to look at him. "Take your mask off."

When Bora hesitantly removed the mask, she noticed that everyone was focused on the two of them.

Taehyung stood up from his chair with an unreadable expression and held Bora's hand, pulling her into the middle of the room. It made the other members stand up and approach them as well.

Bora was nervous would be an understatement. Her heart was beating at an insane speed. She continued to observe Taehyung's actions without displaying her emotions.

"It has been almost a year now since I first texted you. I might have lied to you but I loved talking to you. You made me feel alive, you made me act like a normal person and not the Kim Taehyung who is an idol. I am still a fan of the books you write and you made it comfortable for me to act like a crazy fan. You heard me when I needed someone, you let me be me without judging, and you continued to text me endlessly even when I continued to respond late. You just chose to stay and forgive me when you could have slapped me before leaving me for your own good. I'm not sure when you stole my heart but it always beats when you're around." Bora's eyes began to tear by now.

Taehyung smiled but continued, "In such a short time, you made me lose my heart and mind so much that I wrote two songs for you. Christmas tree was a romantic song but I wrote blue & grey when there were misunderstandings going on between us. I was shattered thinking you'd leave me. I just couldn't think straight when you were avoiding me as you should have." Bora's eyes might be wide open but the other six had shock plastered on their faces.

Bora was aware of the song the Christmas tree, but she had no idea that Blue & Grey was also written for her. When did he fall in love with her so hard? Why wasn't she aware? She might have suffered because of all the lies she had to live with, but Taehyung equally suffered because he was the one who had to lie to the girl he loved in order for her to stay with him.

"I'm not expecting you to answer me just yet, but I'd appreciate a response from you once we finish shooting. You will hear the song by that time and it will show you how much I love you. So, Kim Bora, would you like to date me and make me the luckiest man alive?" Bora didn't want to but her beautiful eyes began shedding endless tears.

Taehyung couldn't figure out why she was crying and the sight of his favorite human made his heartache. He might find her cute with her red runny nose and bloodshot eyes but he couldn't just admire her cuteness when she was sniffing and hiccuping. He quickly embraced her while tenderly stroking her hair and whispering sweet nothings.

"Hey! I'm sorry if you didn't like any of this. Please don't cry."

"Of course, I'll be your girlfriend", Bora said as she drew away from Taehyung's embrace and playfully hit his arms. "I thought you would never ask." And those words were sufficient for the other six to run and joyfully embrace Bora, while Taehyung stood there like a mannequin, trying to process what Bora had just said.

Soooooo~ how was the proposal? I'm glad I didn't publish these chapters last night. I wasn't satisfied with what I had written since Taehyung's confession was quite brief yesterday. I added some more and now I'm loving this chapter.

It turned out just the way I wanted and I feel so happy. Finally, this happened. Finally, Taehyung confessed his love for Bora to Bora. Okay, I know this makes no sense but c'mon, not everything has to make sense. I'm just so happy!!!!!!
