"J-Jeongguk?"

Taehyung was shocked to say the least as his eyes took in the strikingly handsome man in front of him. He was the same man that he had bumped into all those days ago and had rambled on and on about how handsome he was to Jeongguk.

The realization that he had sung praises about Jeongguk to Jeongguk made a soft blush appear on his cheeks. But Taehyung was right, this man was just stunning. He didn't look that unwell anymore, in fact, that gelled back hair gave a good glimpse of his forehead and he looked positively magnificent.

What a small world!

Jeongguk's eyes were wide and looked as if he couldn't believe what he was seeing. Was he remembering bumping into him too?

Taehyung was freaking out. So bad, so so bad...it was a miracle he was still standing and then he heard his melodious voice again that he had not been able to shake from his mind.

"T-Taehyung?"

Taehyung nodded shyly and gave him a soft smile, even waved a little. Gosh he was so nervous. Did he look okay? In front of Jeongguk, he felt that he could've done better. Jimin swore that he would look best in minimalistic that would bring out his natural beauty and had zeroed down on a plain black blazer, over a white vest and slacks. Only his neck was adorned with a few necklaces.

But now that he took in Jeongguk's handsomeness, he felt as if he should've put in more effort.

Jeongguk was no better than Taehyung. He was so fucking tongue-tied he literally wanted to slap himself. Taehyung was so beautiful, it was making Jeongguk's brain malfunction. All of the things he had rehearsed in his mind had flown out of the window and he was struggling to form words.

That beautiful man that he had ended up painting was Taehyung. What kind of sorcery was this? He even dreamed that Taehyung had this face and voice and it came true. WTF?

Gosh, what must Taehyung think of him? He's literally just standing here and gawking at him.

Dear Lord, his smile...

Taking a deep breath, Jeongguk cleared his throat to speak. He could do this!

"I-It's nice to finally see you!" Just a little stutter, not bad!

Taehyung on the other hand, was still frozen.

Oh my God, he's talking to me... I should say something. Why is this so hard? Calm down, Taehyung... You can do this!

"Y-yeah.. S-same." Taehyung said in a small voice.

"Shall we sit down?" Jeongguk had managed to find a little bit of confidence when he noticed Taehyung was also nervous. So it's not just him.

Nodding a little too enthusiastically, Taehyung moved ahead and took the seat in front of Jeongguk who sat down as well.

They both were extremely nervous and the atmosphere was too awkward. And these were men who had communicated for months on end!

They were not looking at each other, gulping and struggling to find something to say. It was Taehyung who finally broke the silence. Not sure of how to start, he went in with the obvious.
