Taehyung's POV:

I went to school earlier than the usual. Well, first of all. I still have to get ready for our second performance. And lastly, I don't really want to see Jungkook. I mean, I don't want to see him again because, I always fell so hard for him. But then, I always ended up as a loser in this game of love.

I'll never win against his own heart and choice knowing that, he is still playing on his favorite game though I'm already on the next level of this present game in his life.

I looked at my own reflection. I'm still wearing my eye-glasses though I have done my make-up with the help of the make up artist that our college has given to all the participants.

Then, suddenly, someone poked me from behind which brought me back to reality.

"J-Jimin?"- that's the only word I was able to form. He looks so stunning with his outfit. He is just like those anime characters, he is like a whole goddamn prince this time. "You look amazing."

I don't know if I saw it right, but it seems like he just blushed a little bit. He gave me his famous smile making his eyes look like a crescent moon.

"Thank you~ You look gorgeous too."- he stated as he stares right into my eyes. "Wait."- he stated and came near at me. He reaches something from my behind.

He removed my eyeglasses. Nooo! I'm so ugly. I shouldn't...

"Tae, you look like the most gorgeous lady I've ever seen in my whole entire life."

"Jimin. Don't try to play around. I ain't believing you. I'm ugly... That's why, I wore these eyeglasses. Because, it's the only thing that makes me feel like human."- I stated as I hide my face within my palms.

"Hmp?! And who told you about that?"

"M-my___ my appa. He said, he said that I look so ugly. That is why, I must wear this eyeglasses to hide my ugliness and look like a human being."- I stuttered as I'm too embarrassed to look at him.

"Tae, look at me. You are the most beautiful woman I've ever seen. Please, don't hide your face. Believe in me."

"B-but... "-he cut me off quickly.

"We are friends right? Do you believe in my words? Do you trust me?"- he suddenly asked.

I gave him a simple nod.

"Then, put down your hands off now. Please~ "

After the long hesitations. I finally give in.  And so, I unwrapped my face.

"See? *Then he made me face the mirror.* Look at yourself Tae. You look so stunning. You're so beautiful. Beautiful than anybody else."

And for the first time, I saw myself at the mirror without my eyeglasses on. I___ I look different. Is---is this really me? Is this still me that I'm seeing at the mirror or it's someone else?

Without noticing it, my lips begun to form a small smile.

"You look much more beautiful with that smile of yours."

"Yaah~ stop teasing me. Uh-we should go to the back stage already. They're starting to call the duet contestants."- I tried to destruct him.

"Oh yeah. Umm. But, I have to go to the comfort room first. I feel uneasy. Don't worry. I'll be back. It'll only take awhile."

And with that, we separated on our own ways.

I find myself standing at the back stage waiting for Jimin to come patiently.

Jimin's POV:

I don't feel fine at all. Is it because of this tight outfit that I'm wearing? Why can't I breathe steadily? I feel uneasy. Like, there's something inside me is bothering me.
