Smoke particles scattered lightly across the wind, stemming from the tip of Taehyung's cigarette. His dark pupils rested firmly over Jeongguk's. Ever so slowly, the man's lips parted.And Jeongguk returned eye contact. Like a champ, he held his ground against the viciously strong gaze that he was convinced sought to devour him. But today, he wouldn't waver. That's what he had thought. That is, until the words he'd just uttered had finally registered into his head, and suddenly the boy was a flustered mess.
"I think I'm in love with you."
What?
What did he just say to him?
Did he really say such a thing? Had he really just confessed his feelings?
He hoped that maybe he misheard his own confession, and the words that left his lips in that moment were ones he quickly came to regret. Yes, he couldn't hold it back any longer. Yes, he needed Taehyung to understand his feelings for him.
But was he ready to hear the man's response to such a thing?
Jeongguk's heart felt weak. He could barely even feel it beating inside his chest, the alarming thoughts in his head taking over every inch of him, and he began to regret ever opening his mouth.
But after a short silence fell over the two, Jeongguk heard the man's deep voice speak up abruptly.
"Yes, my sweet Apollo."
The boy blinked twice, watched Taehyung while he placed his cigarette to his lips momentarily to allow an excess of smoke into the air. He could feel the pulses in his veins, a dash of confusion rushing him at the older's unexpected reply.
Taehyung continued, "Love is but a figment of romanticism us measly humans have devised, lest we feed ourselves with fantasies of a joyous happily-ever-after; as though tales from occurrences that have never verily taken place heretofore."
The corner of Jeongguk's lips twitched into a smile as he held back a laugh. Even in this moment he'd found the rather old fashioned, fancy way of words the older had used to be quite endearing. Because, in that moment, he realized that Taehyung had misunderstood his confession for that of something relating to the lovers within their English project. Thought that maybe Jeongguk had been teasing him by saying such a thing, perhaps due to the open book of speech notes seated firmly on his lap.
The older's dim eyes were settled over Jeongguk's again, and he spoke his next words with a hint of a grin on his perfect lips. "Certainly one as godly as thou, may come to realize the concept of love, as derived from humanity, as one rather foolish. For that, my darling, I wouldn't quite condemn you so."
