ｓｋｉｎｎｙ ➳ ｌｏｖｅ [Discontinued]

[1.] chapter

[setting: movie theater]

[time: 1.17 p.m.]

❧ jungkook's pov:

"isn't she pretty? her curls bounce nicely and oh! look at her eyes. it's a pretty brown. even her smile is pretty. she really is an it girl. don't you think?" the brown haired male beside me rambled.

sure she's pretty, but you're prettier. her curls are nice, but yours make you look prince-like. your eyes may not be brown but it sparkles brighter than hers ever could and don't get me started on your smile. I can go on and on about it for days, months or years.

"she's alright" I reply, I keep my eyes on him. he's the dearest beauty I always find myself enchanted in.

his pink lip pushes out. he looks at me with those eyes that I love so much. it's almost as if he's said that I didn't agree with him. I wish he could see himself the way that I saw him. then he'd understand. he'd understand why even the prettiest woman couldn't take my eyes away from him.

I smile and lift my hand. It lands gently to the side of his cheek where popcorn crumbles were left behind. I wipe it off with concentrated eyes. I feel his on me. either he's confused or frozen. I know him enough to know that's how he'll be.

I look up again after I move my hand. I wipe it with a napkin and as the film continues to roll I see the slightest shade of red dusted on his cheek. I smile to myself. very pretty indeed.

❧ taehyung's pov:

I face forward like I was before. my heart had skipped a beat the second his hand touched my cheek. there's always this look in his eyes when he does these things to me. one of which i'm not quite necessarily able to read.

he's always so delicate, so gentle and kind to me. always so caring, so protective, such a dream guy. while everyone is staring I usually see his eyes on me. I wonder if he sees mine too. I'm sure he has, maybe.

this one guy gets me to daydream yet the other guy beside me does the same things to me. my heart desires them both. I know it. I wish they knew it too but my damn tongue is trapped everytime the words threaten to leave. for now i'll just let my actions speak.

❧ jeongguk's pov:

I lift another piece to his lips. the glossy ones take it in. his eyes are glued to the screen while my eyes are glued on him. just the mere action of his jaw chomping, the way his lips purse and eyes twinkle with the world in them gets me crazy.

these thoughts, they hunt me. the thought of wanting to come home to him one day, to hear that cheery greeting. the thought of tickling him so he laughs so loud it bounces of the walls. the thought of feeling the rosy lips pressed against mine.

I internally sigh. If only I had the courage to just confess to him. maybe we'd be in the kitchen baking banana breads at 2 a.m. Instead of at a movie theater, all three as friends. bummer.

my thoughts are cut short when he lays his head on my shoulder. I don't make it obvious but I move my eyes to have a look at him. his eyes are still on the screen, he seems comfortable and his mouth is open for more of the tasty treat [n.b.popcorn] I plop another one in his mouth. he chomps it down.

❧ jungkook's pov:

the film went on. taehyung is asleep. his dainty fingers are curled with mind. it was loose then further into the land of his dreams it had become tight. I peer over at my brother. he's at the brink of drifting into deep slumber like the pretty boy next to me.

i'm jealous that he gets to feel the soft fluffy hair tickle his neck or have the warm brushing of taehyung's shoulder blade stay put against his. at least he's covered in my coat to prevent a cold and at least I get to hold the pretty hand that continues to curl into mine. time to wake them.

❧ taehyung's pov:

"tae" , I hum.

"tae", I hum again.

"taetae", I hum for a third time.

my eyes slowly start to tear open. I scrunch my face as i'm greeted by the brightness of a screen. thankfully there's a manly yet pretty hand that protects me from the damage.

I look to the side. It's him. I smile. oh. It's him.

"I'm awake" I state the obvious, he laughs at me.

"I know. can you give jeongguk a nudge?" he chuckled. sweet sound to my ears. I nod. "of course" I respond before doing just that.

"gguk? are you awake?" I call out. he shifts in his seat.

"I'm awake" , yet his eyes are still closed.

"well the movie is over. we have to leave now" I announce.

his eyes slowly but surely flutter open. he gives me a toothy and sleepy smile when he realizes that i'm not lying. goodness. how cute.

[location: bus stop]

[time: 3.45 p.m.]

❧ jeongguk's pov:

"what time does the next bus arrive?"

"at 4 o' clock"

"then we better take a seat. that's a while from now"

"agreed"

we all sit.

"when is the next time we'll be meeting, tae?" my brother, jungkook, questions. I peer over curiously. one day sometimes feels like a lot away from taehyung or maybe it's because of these feelings that never seem to go away.

"whenever we're all free again?" he close mouthedly smiled at us. "is that good for you two?" his eyebrows curl in worry. jungkook is quicker than I am to intervene.

"it is. don't worry too much about it" he wriggles his nose because of the cold weather. it's a little pink. it suits his skin colour but I worry that he'll get sick.

"here kook. it looks like you need this" taehyung gave him a hot packet. jungkook looks surprise yet he accepts it with a grateful laugh.

when taehyung starts laughing I do too. It's contagious.

we chat further until the bus for taehyung stops. he stood up, hands tucked in the pockets of his burgundy coat.

"see you two soon?" he asks, hopefully.

"yes. be safe on your way home okay?"

"and call us if you need anything" I add.

taehyung smiles softly. "I will. same to you guys" he sways a little as if hesitant to get on the bus. he steps toward it, looks back at us once and we both wave at the same time. he waves back happily and then he's gone. we sigh at the same time.

a.n. boring? I kind of like this vibe and I hope you all do/will too! :)
