32: Everything's worth it for you

Taehyung stared at the bouquet in his hands. Blue Roses. What if she hates roses? Specially the blue ones? What if she's allergic.
Taehyung looked into the mirror and told himself,
"Confidence. Confidence. You love her."
He for the last time checked his appearance. He was wearing a white buttoned up shirt and well fitted pants. He waslooking neat.
"Here goes nothing."
Taehyung mumbled. His heart beating out of his ribcage.

"Hey Ruby Jane."
"Hey there Joonie Oppa."
Jennie said as she tried to peck Namjoon's cheeks. But Namjoon was, oh so, tall. Namjoon chuckled at her attempts. His hands wrapped around her tiny waist, he lifted her up,
"Better?"
Jennie matched her lips on Namjoon's soft, pink lips. Namjoon's eyes widened, making Jennie smirk. Namjoon was quick to respond back. It felt heavenly. After so long.

"Guys! Get a room!"
Kiera barfed, breaking the kiss between the new couple. Taehyung. They weren't even official yet the kiss felt surreal. They kissed gazillion times. Yet they don't talk now. Weird right?
Kiera sighed. It's been one week since Taehyung was discharged from the hospital wing. Kiera and Jennie were healed, almost. She had just two days before she has to head back to the cell. This was the last chance. It's now or never. Today or never. She just wanted to talk to Taehyung for once, before she leaves this place. Just once.
"Ye-yeah...um...I'm...you know..."
"We were making out. Got any problems, Ms. Maknae?"
Jennie crossed her arms. Of course she was joking! Kiera giggled. And before she could pass a sarcastic remark, they heard a knock on the door.
"May I come in?"
Kiera's heart missed a beat. Kim Taehyung. Of course it was him! That deep, seductive voice! No one in this universe can replicate that. Only Taehyung owned it. She placed her palm on her chest,
"Unnie, it's Taehyung."
She whispered. Jennie hugged her and shouted,
"Please come in."

In front of Kiera was the man she awaited to see. Buttoned up shirt, ironed pants, tidied hair. True gentleman. Kiera on the other hand was wearing a slouchy hospital uniform. Her signature smirk on her face. But deep inside she wanted to break down and hug him and kiss him. But everything's got a right time.

Taehyung gulped. He was trying to calm him, but in front of him stood a goddess. She looked confident, with her signature features. But he knew, deep inside she was breaking and was trying her best to not hug him or kiss him.
"Well, are you going to just stand there, Hot Stuff?"
Kiera said in her husky tone. Taehyung shot his eyes up and giggled. Like a baby. She called him hot stuff again. Like old times. She's not mad! Taehyung cleared his throat and tried to start. His heart beating 10× faster. His throat became more and more parched every second.
"Kiera, I got a heck ton of things to say to you. It all starts and ends with a sorry. I'm sorry that I screamed at you. I'm sorry I didn't think before. I'm sorry that I went hard on myself. I'm sorry that I couldn't save you from Tzuyu's wrath. Tzuyu's after you because..."
"Because you love me. I know that Taehyung. And besides, we both were at fault. So don't go around apologising."
Kiera said as she lessened the gap between them. She looked him in the eyes. He smiled and pressed his forehead on her. He whispered,
"Yes I do love you. And I can tell everyone proudly about this. I love you more than anything. I just want you by my side forever. You don't know how hard these mornings were without you. Only you were in my mind. I cursed myself for creating this distance. I just felt hollow. I missed every bit of you. Everyone told me to leave you and move on. But how can I? I just gave away my heart to you and...and... I'm pretty sure you feel something for me. But nothing was official so I decided to clear it all out and tell you how I feel. You are the girl of my dreams. You are more mysterious than a story. You are more peaceful than the riverview. You are my muse. My song. My breaking news. You're my melody. You're my inspiration. You are that thought which keeps me up all night long. You are my peace and my chaos. You everything I could ever ask for. Before I met you, I had an ideal type too. Well, it was someone like Kim Jisoo. But now, I just want you. You are an open book to me, written in a language unknown. I want you in my life more than anything. Your aura just keeps pulling me in like a magnet. You are the reason I know what love feels like. I know I'm sounding cheesy. But I'm just saying what comes in my mind. So, would you please be by my side forever? Will please hold me tight, when I need to? Will please cry and hug me for comfort when you feel like? Will you tell me your every story? Will you please look into my eyes forever and smile at me when I feel down. I swear I will be by you when you feel like breaking down. I would hold you tight after nightmares. No night would be cold. No morning would be dull. We would see stars and sunsets and sunrises. I would see you. I would admire you. Cause you my doll, are the prettiest thing I've ever seen. I love you and no matter what. I won't leave you."
Taehyung was in tears by now. He handed her the bouquet of blue roses. Kiera was crying as well. She sobbed,
"These flowers! They-they are beautiful!"
"That's why I gave you these."
Taehyung chuckled as his hands snaked around her waist. She playfully wrapped her hands around his neck, bit her lips and seductively said,
"Your lips are more beautiful."
Taehyung chuckled, lifting her up,
"Well, lemme give you these as well."
Hearing this Kiera smirked and matched her lips with Taehyung's. They both kissed each other hungrily. They both had waited for this for so long. They both finally got the thing they wanted. After quite a long time, they let go each other and Kiera, in her naturally seducing voice said,
"I love you. And I would keep on loving you, even if you don't. I won't ever leave you. I would be by your side. Listen, I'm not good with these confessions, all I got to say to you is that I love you. Everything feels like nothing without you. I need you so bad that when you're gone it starts to hurt so bad that it almost kills me.  I would stay. Would ya?"
"Heck ya Doll! Everything's worth it for you!"
