The sun was hurrying to set that day. It was still a bit cold, so they had to wear  light warm clothes. Today's plan was first to visit the arcade, then to movie theater and then have a nice dinner- at first Jungkook thought Tae would have felt comfortable in "good" restaurant and that was exact opposite in reality. Tae preferred the street foods but it would be better though if they cook something together since Jungkook's burn seemed to be healed as well. And they decided to buy the groceries on Tae's like on way back home. So overall the whole idea was seemingly decent.

"It's cold outside right?" Jungkook asked Tae who was sitting cozily on the bed, in the light blue polka dot pajamas that Kookie gave. 

"Umm, guess so, but wearing too much, I don't think that's necessary." He told as he devoured his sight of Jungkook who was standing in front him and curiously looking outside through the closed window. The yellow lights of the setting sun peeped through the glass and kissed dearly on the nose and the cheeks. 

"I think it will rain..." Tae said as he looked at the news on the phone.

"Ugh, I hate when it rains at cold times, it makes it worse." Jungkook whined like an infant stomping his feet on the ground , making Tae giggle.

"You hate rain?" He asked with soft eyes.

"Umm, not necessarily..."

"don't worry it won't rain today, I think we should get ready now." tae said.

Since Tae didn't bring any clothes and Jungkook's clothes fitted him perfectly so he gave up the idea to brought any. Tae dressed quickly in the other room and then waited outside with an umbrella in his hand.

After Jungkook got ready and locked the house, he turned his head only to see a tall handsome boy was standing at the other side of the road with a umbrella in his hand. He can bet his life that he had never seen such a handsome person who is perfectly gracing the ordinary clothes.

It pained him. He knew it really well, how deeply he admired Tae from the very first how in his sweetest dreams he thought of seeing him with his own eyes, just one glance would have been enough for him to carry on the journey for the rest of his life. And now that angel  is standing in front of him... gracefully. He couldn't believe whether he was dreaming or not, but Taehyung...

It added more spice when he started to notice the look in Tae's eyes. It was... weird. Today when he came out of the shower, it never failed to be noticed how Tae's eyes  hovering over his peeping skin, how his half closed eyelids along with his agape mouth followed a gulp. It was confusing and painful.

"eh? what happened? You look pale? You alright?" Tae said as he came near  Jungkook who was  bewildered in his own hurtful expectations. Tae gently  knocked his forehead with his knuckles as a form of reverie breaker. Indeed, he wasn't in a dream.

"I'm fine, let's go then..." Jungkook said as he tried so hard to smile whole heartedly. No way, he would be going to mess Tae's first day of relaxation. He should be happy, he was needed to be happy.

Tae could easily sense the sudden awkwardness in other's behavior. Probably it may sound a bit weird, but actually he guessed it. Ever since they met, both of them behaving with each other like normal friends forgetting all the critical social strings. They didn't have time to think over this fact. Even for some moments, he was amazed how friendly Jungkook was with him. He let him stay in his house, agreed to stay and accompany him all through this dream, without having any second thought. Nah, he never had seen any generous person in his life like Jungkook. He is really lucky to have him. 

He smiled and nodded in agreement. 

They started walking in the empty road, the weather was bit cold with a hint of warmth left by the setting sun. At that moment it felt like the whole atmosphere was reciprocating their inner turmoil of mixed feelings . But little did they know, it is far better to express than suppress till it pains. 

Tae made the first move. He sneakily slipped his warm palm only to hold Jungkook's hand. Obviously, Jungkook's subconscious mind was expecting it but conscious wasn't. So naturally he flinched at that warm touch. Both kids were now visibly blushing. When Jungkook too grabbed his hold, Tae felt a little proud deep down in his heart. Proud to hold such person's hand, to be near this precious gem.

He got out  from his thought as he felt a light tug in his hand. He quickly looked at Jungkook with a questioning face.

"shouldn't you wear a face cover? I know this town isn't that crowdy and nosy but still I don't think we should take any chance." Jungkook said as he handed a white face cover to Tae.

"But..."

"No, but safety first, protection first."

"Okay..."

Tae saw happily how Jungkook very sincerely  put the face cover. Tae was bit taller than the other one, so Kook had to tiptoe slightly. But today something seemed dimmed as if the younger one was missing something endearingly. He still was looking at Tae yet lost in his world.

Tae didn't insist. after all, who was he to intrude in each and every moment of someone else's life? Especially when the person was Jungkook

On the other hand, Jungkook too noticed how blunt Tae's eyes were today. He was spacing out... was is regretting this decision already? But he didn't insist further. Everyone should be given a certain space. Who was he to intrude in each and every moment of someone else's life? Especially when the person was Taehyung.

"Kook, hon is that you?" Both startled as a old women voice called Kookie's name. Tae jumbled and held Kook's elbow tightly, Kook too probably because of instinct secured the taller man affectionately.

Now that he found the source of the voice, it was the granny next door.

"Oh granny, yeah it's me. Jungkook. How is your health now?"

 At that  time this Granny was more interested in these two boys than her own health issues. She had a long journey of 60 years, so obviously she wouldn't fail to notice the birds in love.

"Is he your new boyfriend?  Though he had a face mask but seemed to be  very good looking. Yah boy, what's  your name? Take care of our precious Kook okay? Don't you ever dare to break his heart. he is a precious gem." Granny said. 

" But granny it's not like that-"

"Okay, granny I will take care of him. And make sure to not break his heart. Thanks for your advice."

"yes, you better keep your words, I will get going enjoy your date."

Now it knocked the door. Really? Isn't it date? or is it?

"You didn't have to pretend you know, you just rose her hope. She adores me like his own grandson since I am young and staying here alone."  Jungkook mumbled in a low voice. He doubted whether it was her or he himself, had rising hope to have Tae by his side in a romantic way.

Weirdly, Tae didn't answer. He just squeezed Jungkook's hand tightly and then walked in a slow pace since they still had time in their hands. 

------

The movie theatre wasn't that crowded. They decided to watch movie first then the arcade.

Weirdly, the hall was full of children, and they didn't know why but it looked suspicious. Children nowadays watch call me by your name? no way

"Eh, Jungkook what movie will be watching?"

"-Call me by your name-, but why there are so many children here?"

"You sure it is -call me by your name- right? I guess we should recheck..."

"aiya, don't worry. Look there are other couples as well. You go sit there, movie will be starting soon. I will buy some popcorns. Make sure not to interact with too many people."

"Okay, you too be careful."

Jungkook nodded and Tae went to sit on said seat. Another boy was sitting there who was around his age, but with a stern face.

"Oh hello, it's my seat here, can you please take your bag?" Tae said politely.

"Oh sure, sorry for the inconvenience." the boy said coldly. weird but nice.

Tae smiled and sat there. He was waiting for Jungkook to come when he saw him with another man talking and laughing whole heartedly.

He was about to say something, but the boy beside him already stood up. He went to that person and took the snacks from his hand. Are they couple? should he do the same?

Now that he notice, how beautiful this person is. Goodness, his smile can brig goosebumps to anyone. Does this town full of handsome persons?

Jungkook sat next to Tae and introduced him to that couple, 

"Taehyung, meet Zhan, he is a very famous writer maybe you've heard about  him before, He write as Sean. And he is Yibo he is the sheriff of this town and also Zhan Hyung's boyfriend."

"Nice to meet both of you. I'm um, Taehyung, I hope it won't be problematic to tell you too as I see you are close."  Tae said smilingly.

"You can be comfortable around us. Nice to meet you too." the person named Zhan said.

"The movie is starting, I think we should focus." The boy named Yibo scoffed. His reaction was funny it was sure that he was jealous.

But now that the movie started, it cleared why there were lot of children. It was a Zombie movie. The times misplaced.

Both of them couldn't say anything as one of them was too ashamed to say anything and the other one was trying so hard to suppress his  laugh.

Suddenly their focus shifted as they could hear whispers beside them followed by sounds of kisses.

"Zhan, I think we should get going... I can't anymore."

"I think that too..." After that without wasting any moment both of them stood up and barely bowed to them and hurriedly went outside. It wasn't hard to guess what hurry they got.

But now Jungkook and  Tae could feel how awkward the situation was. first it was a children's movie but then  a couple left to finish their jobs, leaving two confused boys here.

"The movie seems interesting though."

"Yeah, not bad. I heard that -Train to Busan- is actually pretty good."

 Jungkook thought probably there would be some at least one romantic move in the movie night as everybody says that. But  here, instead of getting a romantic Tae, he was struggling with a sobbing taehyung.

"Why did he have to die...*sobs* *sobs* I don't like tragic endings."

"Okay okay, I know, but it was just a movie, don't cry now..." kook said. They had to cancel the arcade plan as it looked like they will be getting a lot of  attention by the sniffling Tae and that would do no good. 

"Hey hey, come here..." Kook said noticing something tugging Tae's hand.

It was a swing. basically a park. But it looked so nice even in Tae's blurry vision. The drizzle stopped and a very beautiful starry sky with a moon shining brightly in the sky.

Jungkook went to the swing and sat down, waiting for Tae to sit down as well. He smiled at the other's childishness even when he was crying like a child a while ago.

He smiled and did as the other one did. They were sitting silently in the empty park as the crickets were singing carols of their own.

Jungkook took the first step to break the silence.

"I'm gay."  Jungkook said looking at the sky with a smile on his face, to make it clear that he was never and in future never will be ashamed of his sexuality.

  Before Tae could say anything, Jungkook continued his words...

"I realized it  when I passed my high school, it was the graduation day everyone was fooling around, suddenly a boy in my class came drunk and kissed me on the cheek. I was flustered but nonetheless I liked it. Though I didn't continue anything that day, but I realize that I wasn't like everyone. Later when I shifted here for further studies and to pursue my dream, ironically I again found that boy as my neighbor."

Tae couldn't say anything. He knew Jungkook wasn't in any relationship but what if-

"Then one day, he proposed me, kiddo I was, little did I know he was a straight guy with playful mind. He pretended to use me and took my money and then left.  I can still remember the day when we broke up. He yelled at me at the Christmas feast in my garden in front of other neighbors. It wasn't  that they didn't know I was gay and they were uncomfortable with the fact but as so you know how heartbreaking to see a 18 year old boy stood there alone with his first heartbreak and only to see how cruel one can be."

Jungkook told the whole painful story but not even stop smiling. It was clear he was glad that he broke up.

"Can you see the moon?" Tae finally said something.

"uh? yes..."

"What comes first when someone asks you how the moon looks like?"

"beautiful?"

"lonely... the moon is lonely you know, it needs someone to hold on too like others..." he said as he stood up from the swing.

Then he stood straight near Jungkook and sang out those iconic lines of -still with you- written by Jungkook...

"-That moon looks lonely

Feels like it's crying in the bright night sky
Even though I knew it was going to be morning one day
I wanted to stay in your sky like a star
Every day, every moment
If I had known this was gonna happen
I would have kept more- but then I listened to your lines and I realized you can be the person I want to share my sky with." 

Jungkook visibly gulped. What was happening? What was Tae saying? Tae literally just sang his own original's lines not forgetting any lyrics...

"Jeon Jungkook, may I... no, please let me give a chance to hold your hand, to kiss, to cherish, to adore, to caress, to sing with you. I want to wake up with you, want to eat your handmade coffee, want to see you sing, want to hear your squeal,  your cry everything. Please give me a chance to be your boyfriend."

Jungkook couldn't believe his eyes, his ears. He suddenly felt dizzy an urge of nausea came to his mind. He stood up abruptly, only to stumble. But Tae sincerely grabbed his hand.

"Are you okay?"

"I- I don't think I am... and I- I- think you're confused you need to rethink your decision... it won't do any good for both of us you know and we don't know each other for that long and you are an idol, you can not be gay." he tried so hard to suppress his tears but miserably failed to do so.

This made Taehyung super angry and he visibly frowned. He knew how Jungkook was denying his own desires as well as Tae's. And what  the fuck does that mean that  idol's can not be gay? Does sexuality define talent? It never did and will never do.

"Is that the problem you think? Am I not your type? Tae asked frowning deeply and made a stern eye contact. If anything was straight at that moment that was the eye contact.

Jungkook flinched as he could notice the annoy and pain in Tae's voice. He tried to avoid his gaze but couldn't as Tae cupped his face.

"What are you afraid of? Your own feelings or society? if it's the society you better know that i don't give flying fuck to this shitty society  who judge talent with their sexuality. So stop talking about so called reputation. Please Jungkook."

It seemed Jungkook was being convinced.  Tae kissed Jungkook's forehead even though he wanted to kiss on lips. He stopped crying now as he also tried talking.

"But there isn't any gay idol in our industry..."

"Who said there isn't? Don't you know Suga and J-hope? they are couple so obviously..."

"They are a couple? for real?" Jungkook squeled in excitement. "I knew it, I knew it ah, my ship sails..." He visibly eased in tae's hold. To see Kook's reaction tae smiled.

"You shipped them?"

"Yes obviously  I did..."

"You better start shipping us before you ship them okay?"  Tae said to which Kook blushed and smiled. He got his answer.

"It's getting cold, let's go to home now."

"but I haven't answered yet."

"You don't need to hurry though or push yoursel-"

"I will be glad if you hold my hand, kiss, cherish,  adore,  caress,  sing with me. I  will be glad if you  wake up with me,  you to drink my handmade coffee, if you see me sing, you to hear me squeal, my cry everything.  I will be glad if you be my boyfriend and  I reciprocate the same." Jungkook said as his face was red in cold, blush and shyness.

Wasting not even a single Tae pressed his lips with utmost passion in his raging soul. They kissed and a shooting star made his way in the sky. Even though they didn't get to wish, but the moon and the stars fulfil their wishes and gave them blessings.
