"Hyungie... Stop doing that, it tickles!" Jungkook giggled, but his head leaned to the side giving the older more space to ran his nose.

Taehyung growled playfully, nipping the younger's ear softly before playing with the delicate earrings adorning on them.

They were sitting under their favourite spot, the cherry blossom, it was their safe heaven.

Jungkook was snatched away by the older after lunch, since they both had free time. They spend time idly sitting under the tree, talking with each other.

He sat on the older's lap, pressing his back on the man's chest. His head resting on taehyung's shoulder. His curly lashes fluttered close gently as the sun's bright rays beamed at his face. He slowly opened his doe eyes with a frown when he didn't feel the sun's stare anymore. He stared at the large palm hiding his eyes from the sun's curious stares.

Jungkook's lips bloom into a soft smile, raising his small hand towards the older's, caressing the veins on the strong arm before touching the back of Taehyung's palm. He intertwined his little fingers on the long ones shyly. His doe eyes getting a bit gloomy when he thought about them not being able to sit like this after few months, the older would graduate with the others. It will be only him, jimin and hobi left. He will miss them.

Taehyung's fingers played with his earrings, almost sensing the younger's sudden gloominess. He pressed a soft kiss on the side of his head. Jungkook smiled, tightening his grip on their intertwined hands.

"Do you know the story of the sun and moon?" Jungkook asked, peeking at the sun with a thoughtful smile. Taehyung shook his head against jungkook's neck. Chin resting on the younger's shoulder, and his eyes on their intertwined hands haloed by sun's radiance. Jungkook stared at them with a soft smile.

"How much the sun loved the moon that he would die every night to let her breath.

How the sun and the moon have always been in love, but that they could never be together, because the moon rises at sunset and the sun just at dawn. So, the Goddess created the eclipse to let the lovers meet each other. A proof that, there is no impossible love. The sun would meet his love once in a while, embracing her in his arms warmly." Jungkook giggled softly, retelling the story his grandmother once told him when he was young.

For jungkook, the older was his sun. He was kind and warm in nature, though, his appearance sometimes deceives the eyes, portraiting him intimidating and cold. But only once you get to know him would one understand the older.

Jungkook have only watched from afar, loving him from the shadows, to timid and shy to profess his love. It feels unreal now, knowing the older loves him. That were going to spend their life together bound by the vows of marriage, oneday.

The man could brighten his heart with a single smile of his. How he does that so effortlessly was out of jungkook's knowledge. The man makes jungkook swoon over whenever he gets all possessive and protective over him, his love was fierce as him.

Jungkook looked at the older, seeing him already gazing at him intensely with fierce eyes. The younger's eyes shied away, staring at the man's chin instead of his eyes. He could never get used to them.

"There are many versions but this version is one of my favourite. It is a bit sad but beautiful, isn't it? A bittersweet tale." Jungkook breathed softly, taking a look at the rays that peeked at him through the older's fingers. Jungkook pulled their intertwined hands to his lap staring at their size difference with a shy smile.

Taehyung gripped his chin raising them to meet the doe eyes. He rubbed his thumb over the younger's plump lower lips before pressing a soft kiss to the rosy petals.
