How does one fall in love?
How much time does it take to fall in love?
Jeongguk doesn't know the correct answer to both the questions. But, he thinks he did not fall in love once, he has fallen, many times.
And for the same person, the same alpha, whose eyes are a warm shade of brown, and whose sandalwood scent matches the aura he has.
There wasn't a particular 'oh' moment of realization, rather one day, he looked into Taehyung's eyes and just knew that his heart wanted to be Taehyung's.
They have been best friends for a year. And Jeongguk has grown to adore everything encompassing the elder alpha.
Whether it is, his kind nature or the blinding smile.
And today, he wants to open his heart to him. He does not want to stifle the words of fondness lying at the tip of his tongue, every time he's with Taehyung, nor does he want to keep his feelings to himself.
His heart would never get tired of the love he holds for the elder alpha, but it's not going to hold it forever. He wants to shower Taehyung with everything he has in him.
The surge of confidence in Jeongguk is because of the conversation he had with his best friend yesterday.
~ Flashback ~
"You'll come and see my match tomorrow, right?" Taehyung asks, wiping the sweat from his forehead.
Jeongguk nods, taking the towel, to dry his neck, "Yeah, who knows you might lose, if I'm not there."
Taehyung chuckles, pinching his waist, "Of course, your face gives me the motivation to win, Jeonggukie."
The younger narrows his eyes at him, handing him a water bottle, slipping beside him on the bench.
"And then, after the match....I have something planned."
Jeongguk's ear perked up at that, "What?"
Taehyung's face was unreadable, yet his eyes had a sheen of uncertainty.
"Just you and me...."
The younger blinked, his lips curving up in a shy grin.
"I need to look extra stunning now, so that you win and we go somewhere to celebrate."
Jeongguk flicked, the mullet growing at his nape, sassily.
The elder ruffled his hair, "I think if you come to watch, with your bed hair, I'd still be enough."
His cheeks warmed, just like his chest.
It's not only the words that left Taehyung's mouth, rather it's the tender voice he spoke in and the truthful expression on his face, makes the impact on his poor little heart ten times real.
He laughs, nervously, "Yah! My bed hair is cute, I already know."
"That's not wrong. But I think it's more about you and not about how you'll look."
Jeongguk blinked, owlishly. He bit the inside of his cheek to not blurt out something like 'I'm in love with you' or 'Do you know how much I'm suffering because of you?'
Taehyung flicked his chin, "I have something to tell you too, tomorrow."
"Would you mind, if I had something to tell you, too?"
