Arranged Hearts

1

The room was quiet, save for the soft hum of the city outside. Taehyung stood inches away from Jimin, his heart pounding in his chest. He had never felt this nervous around Jimin before, but something had shifted between them recently—something neither of them had spoken about, yet it lingered in every glance and every touch.

Jimin’s eyes met his, searching, hesitant. Taehyung could feel the tension in the air, thick and electric. He swallowed, his hand twitching at his side before he finally reached out, brushing a lock of Jimin’s hair behind his ear. His fingertips lingered on Jimin’s cheek, tracing the soft skin there.

Jimin leaned into the touch, his lips parting slightly as if he wanted to say something, but the words never came. Instead, he stepped closer, his breath warm against Taehyung’s face. Taehyung’s heart raced, his gaze flickering between Jimin’s eyes and his lips.

And then, in a moment of courage, Taehyung closed the distance.

Their lips met, soft and unsure at first, but the connection was instant. Jimin’s hands found their way to Taehyung’s shoulders, pulling him in closer, as if he didn’t want this moment to slip away. Taehyung responded, deepening the kiss, his hand slipping into Jimin’s hair, feeling the silky strands between his fingers.

The kiss was slow, deliberate—an unspoken confession of all the feelings they had kept hidden. Jimin sighed into the kiss, his fingers tightening on Taehyung’s shirt as if grounding himself in the moment. When they finally pulled apart, their foreheads rested against each other, breaths mingling in the space between them.

Neither of them spoke, but they didn’t need to. The kiss had said it all.

Taehyung finally broke the silence, his voice barely a whisper. Jimin… I…

Jimin’s eyes fluttered open, searching Taehyung’s face as if trying to understand what had just happened. His fingers were still gripping the fabric of Taehyung’s shirt, and he hesitated for a moment before speaking.

Did that… mean something to you? Jimin asked softly, vulnerability lacing his words.

Taehyung’s heart ached at the uncertainty in Jimin’s voice. He took a step back, but kept their hands intertwined, not wanting to let go completely. It meant everything, he admitted, his voice raw and honest. I’ve wanted to tell you for so long, but… I didn’t know how. I didn’t know if you… felt the same."l

Jimin’s lips curved into a small, shaky smile, relief washing over his features. You don’t know how long I’ve been waiting to hear you say that,he breathed, stepping closer again, pressing his forehead against Taehyung’s.

Taehyung’s chest tightened as Jimin’s words sank in. All this time, they had been dancing around their feelings, afraid to take that leap, and now… now it was real. He wrapped his arms around Jimin’s waist, pulling him into a tight embrace, his chin resting on top of Jimin’s head.

I was scared,Taehyung whispered. Scared of losing you if I said anything.

Jimin tightened his hold on him, nuzzling into Taehyung’s chest. You’ll never lose me,” he whispered back. “I’m not going anywhere.

They stood there for a long moment, wrapped up in each other, the weight of their confessions settling over them. The world outside could wait—for now, all that mattered was the two of them, together, in this moment.

And suddenly he woke up from his sleep
Taehyung : Just a dream… whispered to himself, running a shaky hand through his hair.

His chest still felt tight, as if he’d really been there, as if Jimin had really been in his arms. He looked to his side, half-expecting to see Jimin lying next to him, but the bed was empty.

Taehyung sat up slowly, his head spinning.

The dream had felt so real—so intense—that for a moment, he wasn’t sure what was real and what wasn’t.

Taehyung touching his lips and thinking the taste of Jimin’s kiss still lingered on his lips, and the weight of the words they had exchanged echoed in his mind.

He let out a frustrated sigh, burying his face in his hands.

Taehyung :Why does it have to be a dream?
