"taehyung?" he called out to make sure he wasn't dreaming. taehyung hummed. jeongguk was about to speak up but their compartment jerked making his mobile slip and fall on the bottom beside taehyung's foot. the wheel stopped moving.

"what?" he let out, moving down to grab his mobile as taehyung looked down from the glass. the man there was showing them 10 fingers.

"i think we're stuck. there's an issue." taehyung said, a soft smile taking over his face as his eyes turned glossy.

jeongguk sniffed, pulling off his mask. he grabbed taehyung's hand, the older hanging his head low as he let out a loud sob. "i t-thought i lost you,"

jeongguk squeezed his hand lightly, shaking his head. "you're here now." he wiped off the tears at the corner of his eyes, looking up as he took in a deep breath.

"jeongguk?" taehyung called out after he calmed down, voice stable enough to speak without stuttering. jeongguk hummed, his gaze flitting down at taehyung's lips for a second before he looked up again.

"what?" jeongguk asked.

"the day i called you at the restaurant." taehyung started and jeongguk's breath hitched. "i wanted to ask you if you'd like to be my boyfriend."

"o-oh?" even though he already knew, jeongguk couldn't help the blood rushing up to his cheeks, his heart flipping as butterflies swarmed his stomach.

"but i didn't and i almost lost you." taehyung sighed, sitting up straight. "so, i'll ask this again." he squeezed his eyes shut.

"taehyung?" jeongguk called out and taehyung's shoulders slumped. the older looked up at him with his warm brown puppy eyes. "do you wanna be my boyfriend?" jeongguk watched taehyung's eyes sparkle with happiness. his cheeks turned red prettily and the way his shoulders caved in made jeongguk coo.

"h-hey! i was doing the hono-"

jeongguk grabbed the collar of his t-shirt, pulling him forward as he himself leaned in. "come on, you have two options."

"oh really?" taehyung whispered. "tell me."

"yes or yes."

"what if i say no?"

"then i'll kiss you."

"and what if i say yes?"

"i'll kiss you even harder."

"fine, kiss me." taehyung closed his eyes, lips curling into a smile. jeongguk didn't move. taehyung frowned after a few seconds and opened his eyes to see jeongguk smiling down at him.

"what?" he asked dumbly, neck reddening in embarrassment.

"you didn't answer yet."

"yes." taehyung flashed him a small smile and jeongguk moved ahead, wrapping an arm around taehyung's waist as he placed a small kiss on taehyung's lips. taehyung would have thought their lips didn't even touch if it wasn't for the sweet cotton candy flavour on his lips.

he opened his eyes to complain, but he's shut up when he seaw jeongguk leaning in. ever so carefully, taehyung tilted his head to the side and gasped at their clumsy collision of their noses. it isn't enough to stop him though.

taehyung's hand seemed to have a mind of his own by the way it crawled up jeongguk's nape. a sigh fell from jeongguk's lips at the change of position and he stroked taehyung's jaw with his free hand, drawing him closer as their lips met again.

this time, it lasts long. they take their own time to taste each other after weeks of not kissing. not even seeing each others' faces.

taehyung felt the excitement rushing through his veins and jeongguk is no better. his heart pounded in its cage, his brows furrowed in pleasure. it's habit he's had ever since he was young- getting all aggressive when he liked something too much.
