Taehyung was used to feeling defeated in life. Maybe that's why the crowd he's in right now felt so out of place to him.
It still seemed like yesterday when he thought he would never be able to do what he loved, but then, a single spark of courage from his friend had touched him and he was able to open this art café.
He remembered how young and inexperienced Tae's eyes had lit up as he stood in front of Yoongi when he asked him to choose the theme for their café.
There was someone who had asked his opinion, someone who cared about him, someone who wanted to be with him. His birth family had let him go, but his chosen family had always held him close.
He did not know how many lives he had lived, though he was sure from the fatigue of his soul that this was not his very first one. Still, he thought that in all the lifetimes he had known, he would never have anything more precious than this.
"What are you thinking so deeply?"
Taehyung shifts his gaze from the people talking in front of the paintings hung on the wall of their café for the event to the blonde with his chin resting on his shoulder. The slight smile on his face is at its most endearing.
He's standing so close to Taehyung with his sweet expression, pouted lips and inquisitive eyes in a way he didn't think he deserved sometimes.
Taehyung could swear that he is the envy of all the other works of art in the room.
Even in a simple outfit like a white shirt and slacks, he was being stared at from head to toe by everyone in the room, and still, he seemed to have no intention of taking his eyes off the way Taehyung's eyes squinted through his curls, neatly pinned back to match the suit he was wearing.
"How we've made it this far." Taehyung says with a smile.
"Oh," Jimin pulls back as he shares his smile, taking a big sip of the champagne in his hand, "You can't imagine the pleasure of seeing you right where you are."
"Pleasure?"
Jimin nods, "Do you know how beautiful you look when you're doing what you really love, when you're truly happy?"
Taehyung doesn't need to think. He just shook his head from side to side.
Jimin tilts his head to the side, his smile revealing his adorable front teeth, his eyes lost with love, again.
"God, you're so easy to love."
Taehyung's head falls shyly forward for a few seconds, and when he raises it again, his big boxy smile is there, covering his face without him even realizing it.
"Shut up or I'll kiss you until you melt."
"Okay, then please let me prepare my hundred page presentation on how to love Taetae so easily."
