He is the one / Taekook

Twenty

It was soon 5 pm, only an hour left till Taehyung and Jungkook had to leave for the gala, they were still at Jungkook's house.

"Taehyung, where are my clothes?" Asked Jungkook drying his hair as he had just finished taking a shower.

"In that black bag, it has both of our clothes and shoes" replied Taehyung taking a towel from Jungkook's stack of towels without asking, as he made his way to the shower.

"Shoes too?" Jungkook chuckled, "What if they don't fit me?" He continued

Taehyung stopped in his tracks as he leaned against the doorframe of the bathroom, smirking he replied, "Don't worry Cindrella, Prince charming knows your shoe size all too well"

"Shut up prince charming" Jungkook playfully rolled his eyes, "Go and shower, I don't want to be seen with someone who's smelly" He continued.

Taehyung pretended to be offended as he walked towards Jungkook and wrapped his arm around Jungkook's neck, "Who says I smell huh?" He said squeezing Jungkook harder.

Jungkook let out a loud laugh as he grabbed Taehyung's biceps that were playfully around his neck and bit them.

"Ouch, what was that for!?" Asked Taehyung rubbing his bicep.

Jungkook chuckled as he pushed Taehyung into the bathroom, "We gonna be late, Prince charming" He said giggling.

Soon enough the two of them got dressed and were now seated in Taehyung's car which he was driving to the venue.

Jungkook had his lips bottom lips tucked between his teeth as he knees were shaking up and down rapidly, suddenly he felt Taehyung putting a hand on his thigh, trying to stop his knee movement.

He turned his head to look at Taehyung who was looking ahead at the road while driving with just one hand.

Jungkook sighed as he took thr hand Taehyung had rested on his knee on his own, "Taehyung, I'm really scared" He let out timidly

Taehyung briefly looked at him before focusing back on the road, he replied with a small smile, "I told you didn't I Jungkook, it's just a lame party with lame people who just want to show of their wealth. There's nothing to be scared of baby, most of them do not even have a conscience of the outer world."

"I don't wanna be an outcast though"

Just then Taehyung pulled over the car to the side making Jungkook suck in a breath, Taehyung turned his face around to look at Jungkook, "If anyone tries to fuck with you in there, they won't leave the party the same way they came" He replied looking deep into the other boy's eyes.

Jungkook averted his gaze from Taehyung, looking down now as he slowly nodded his head, trying to hide his cheeks changing the colour to a deep red.

Taehyung brought his face close to Jungkook's, leaning in, Jungkook gulped as he closed his eyes, ready for some kind of intimacy from Taehyung but quickly opened his eyes as he heard the 'click' sound of the seat belt opening.

Taehyung, "We're here Cindrella, please don't tell me you need to leave before midnight?" He teased recieving a smack on his shoulders from the 'Cindrella'

"Shut up prince douchebag" Jungkook rolled his eyes.

Taehyung got out of the car and opened the door for Jungkook making the other raise an eyebrow.

Taehyung shrugged as he replied, "Gotta be a gentleman for my Cindrella or he might leave me for some other dude, who definitely doesn't deserve my princess."

Jungkook chuckled as he stepped out of the car as both of them walked side by side.

Jungkook lost in his thoughts, 'No one deserves me quite like you do Taehyung' he thought to himself, his heart beating out of his chest as he turned to side to look at Taehyung, there was a sudden ache in his heart, 'But we aren't meant to be, I'm just lying to you and hurting you, I.. I don't deserve you, you deserve much better.'

"Jungkook?" Called out Taehyung bringing Jungkook out of his thoughts.

"Huh?" He asked looking lost.

Taehyung extended his arm dramatically, motioning Jungkook to take a hold of it.

Sighing to himself, trying to hide his smile, Jungkook put his hand around Taehyung's, making Taehyung let out a soft smile.

They entered through the huge doors of the hall, the huge double doors had engraved onto them, ancient styled carvings of flowers and vines.

Walking further into the hall, Jungkook was awestruck. He had never seen so many luxury items in his life altogether let alone at the same place.

Men and women alike, dressed from head to toe in clothes and accessories that would perhaps cost as much as a foreign car.

The smell of expensive wine and champagnes, lingering through the air and soft voices of elegant chatters lingered through the hall.

"Come let's meet my parents" said Taehyung, not giving Jungkook time to respond as he pulled him to the dark golden sofa set placed on a corner of the hall. Multiple such sofa sets were placed across the hall.

"Mom, dad" said Taehyung to one of the couples sitting there, both of them dressed in black formal outfits that Jungkook thought to have cost more than his house, giving them a light bow which Jungkook followed with a small, hesitant smile.

"Good evening, Mr and Mrs Kim" He greeted nervously.

"This is Jungkook, my friend from school" introduced Taehyung

"Good evening Jungkook" replied Taehyung's father, followed by his mother.

His mother then asked, "Where are your parents Jungkook?"

Jungkook, "They are not here Mrs Kim"

Taehyung's mother raised an eyebrow, "Not here? Strange. Everyone is here tonight." She continued, "What do they do Jungkook?"

Jungkook gulped as he looked at Taehyung hopefully, Taehyung quickly understood Jungkook's pleading expression as he replied to his mother, "They are caught up with some important buisness, they couldn't make it here today." He continued taking Jungkook's hand, "We are going to meet our freinds" He bowed once more before he took Jungkook away from there.

"Hey, what's wrong?" He asked to Jungkook who was looking a little lost

"Why?" He asked looking up at Taehyung, "Why did you lie Taehyung?"

Taehyung frowned, "About what?"

Jungkook sighed, "About my parents, why did you say that they couldn't make it here even when you knew we aren't rich enough to be invited to such an event"
