My first love||Taegyu

Unspoken Confession

Soobin had spent hours picking out the perfect gift for Taehyun, something that would say "I'm glad you're better" without being too obvious about his deeper feelings. He finally settled on a book Taehyun had mentioned wanting to read, wrapping it carefully. As he approached Taehyun's house, his heart pounded with anticipation. But just as he was about to knock on the door, he saw Taehyun laughing with someone else, their heads close together. A pang of jealousy shot through Soobin, and he quickly turned away, clutching the gift and envelope tightly in his hand.

Soobin's heart sank as he saw Taehyun with someone else, and he felt a wave of jealousy and sadness wash over him. He turned around and walked away in the rain, feeling defeated. The gift felt heavier with each step. He decided to take a moment to gather his thoughts and emotions. Finding a quiet bench in a nearby park, Soobin sat down and stared at the gift. After a few moments of contemplation, he felt a sudden surge of frustration and despair. The rain seemed to mirror his own emotions, washing away his hopes and leaving him feeling lost and alone. Soobin sighed deeply, deciding to keep his feelings hidden for now, even though it pained him to do so.

At the house Taehyun is with someone from his math class, Jihye. They have been laughing for a while when she suddenly turns serious.

"You know Soobin right? I think I like him. I feel like I got a chance with him too."

Taehyun just sits there, his eyes widening slightly. Jihye likes Soobin? He hadn't even considered that possibility.

Jihye, oblivious to Taehyun's stunned silence, continues, "He's so cute, and he's really smart too. I bet he'd be a great boyfriend. I'm sure he'd be much more fun than some other people I know."

Her words, laced with a subtle dig, sting Taehyun. He knows she's talking about him, and he can't help but feel a surge of anger. He's never been one to back down from a challenge, but this time, he feels a strange sense of helplessness.

"I'm sure he's a great guy," Taehyun manages to say, his voice flat. "But I don't think he's interested in you."

Jihye scoffs, her eyes narrowing. "Oh, really? And how would you know? You're not exactly the expert on Soobin's love life."

Taehyun clenches his jaw, his patience wearing thin. He knows he should just ignore her, but he can't help but feel the need to defend himself. "I'm just saying, I know him pretty well, and I don't think he's interested in anyone right now."

"Well, maybe you should tell him that," Jihye says, her voice dripping with sarcasm. "I'm sure he'd be thrilled to hear it."

Taehyun stares at her, his anger simmering beneath the surface. He knows he's not going to win this argument. Jihye is determined to make a play for Soobin, and she's not going to let anything stand in her way.

As Jihye leans in closer, her voice drops to a conspiratorial whisper, "You know, I think Soobin actually likes me. He's been looking at me differently lately. He even smiled at me today."

Taehyun's heart sinks. He can't believe he's letting this get to him, but he can't help but feel a pang of jealousy. He knows he shouldn't care, but he can't deny the feeling that's twisting in his stomach.

Taehyun's heart sinks. He can't believe he's letting this get to him, but he can't help but feel a pang of jealousy. He knows he shouldn't care, but he can't deny the feeling that's twisting in his stomach.

"He's just being polite," Taehyun mutters, his voice barely a whisper.

Jihye laughs, a sharp, mocking sound. "Oh, come on, Taehyun. You're not fooling anyone. You're jealous. Do you like me?"

Taehyun's face flushes red. He tries to deny it, but the words get stuck in his throat. He can't believe he's letting her get to him like this.

"I'm not jealous," he finally manages to say, his voice shaky. "I just... I don't think Soobin is interested in you."

Jihye leans in closer, her eyes sparkling with mischief. "Maybe not now, but he will be. Just wait and see."

Taehyun feels a surge of anger. He wants to tell her to leave him alone, to stop trying to steal Soobin away. But he knows that would only make things worse.

He takes a deep breath and forces himself to calm down. "Look, Jihye, I'm not going to argue with you about this. I'm just saying, I know Soobin better than you do. He's not interested in you."

Jihye shrugs, her smile widening. "Maybe not, but I'm not giving up. I'm going to make him see that I'm the one for him."

Taehyun watches her get off the couch and walk out the door, a feeling of dread settling in his stomach. He knows he should be happy for Soobin, but he can't help but feel a sense of loss. He's never been one to admit defeat, but he knows that this time, he might be fighting a losing battle.

Days turned into weeks, Soobin and Taehyun find themselves spending more and more time together, their shared concern over Jihye's intentions drawing them closer. They both feel a sense of protectiveness over the other, and their interactions become more intimate, filled with unspoken understanding and a growing sense of dependence.

They spent their days arranging furniture, decorating the apartment, and cooking meals together. The more time Soobin spent with Taehyun, the deeper his feelings grew, making it harder to keep them hidden.

One evening, as they watched a movie at Taehyun's house, Soobin found himself inching closer to Taehyun. The warm glow of the screen reflected in Taehyun's eyes, making Soobin's heart ache even more. He wanted so badly to reach out and hold Taehyun's hand, to feel that connection, to know if the feelings were reciprocated. The thought of Taehyun's hand in his, warm and soft, sent a shiver down his spine. He imagined the way their fingers would intertwine, the way their bodies would lean closer, a silent understanding passing between them. But fear held him back. He clenched his fists, hiding them in his lap, and forced a smile as Taehyun turned to him with a grin.

"Isn't this movie great?" Taehyun asked, his eyes sparkling with excitement.

"Yeah, it's amazing," Soobin replied, his voice barely above a whisper. Inside, he was screaming, wanting to tell Taehyun everything, but the words just wouldn't come.

As the movie ended and they cleaned up together, Soobin couldn't help but steal glances at Taehyun, wondering if he would ever find the courage to speak his heart. For now, he would continue to cherish these moments, even if they were tinged with unspoken confessions.

The apartment was quiet, the only sound was the hum of the refrigerator and the soft ticking of the clock. Soobin laying down while Taehyun was sitting. They were both  on the couch, their laughter mingling with the gentle chirping of crickets. They had been drinking, sharing stories and secrets, their inhibitions loosening with each sip. One thing led to another, and soon they were leaning in, their lips meeting in a soft, tentative kiss. The kiss was a spark, a sudden burst of heat in the cool night air. It was hesitant at first, a tentative exploration of lips and breath, but it quickly deepened, becoming a tangle of limbs and whispered promises. Soobin felt a surge of warmth spread through him, a feeling he had never experienced before. He was lost in the moment, in the feel of Taehyun's lips against his, in the intoxicating scent of jasmine and the soft murmur of crickets. The kiss ended as quickly as it began, leaving them breathless and flushed. They stared at each other for a moment, their eyes locked in a silent conversation.

This action led them to be in complete shock not all knowing what got into them. The thought of Taehyun feeling the same way made Soobin have many thoughts. Did he really feel this way or was it just them drinking? They just stared at each other with a blank expression until Taehyun broke the awkward moment by playfully giggling as he leaned in more closer to Soobin which made Soobin's heart beat quickly. Taehyun fully laid down on Soobins chest and immediately fell asleep. Soobin was at a loss for words. He wondered if his actions were intentional or spontaneous?
