      THE AIR is cold, mercilessly biting at any skin visible on the surface of the boys' bodies. the grass is thinly covered with a small layer of frost, frozen dew drops decorating the grass petals. jimin is freezing, his useless jacket holding in little to none of his body heat.

the two sat together on a small, vacant hill near jimin's apartment. the looming sky that hovered above their heads still displayed nothing more than gradients of grays and royal blues. vehicles had begun passing by occasionally, helping the two remain occupied by counting how many of certain cars disrupted their field of vision.

jimin, eyes heavily layered with sleep, allowed his lolling head to rest against taehyung's cushioned shoulder.

"are you sleepy?" the warmth radiating from taehyung's considerate words had jimin smiling like an idiot to himself.

"a little. your shoulder is comfy, though." a chuckle sounds from the other male.

shuffling could be heard, and jimin felt his head get placed onto something else—something particularly much more comfortable and soft. he flutters his eyes open, almost immediately shutting them once he notices taehyung hovering dangerously close to his face.

"sorry, did i scare you? i thought you'd think my thighs were more appropriate as a surface to sleep on."

heat quickly disperses itself on the older's cheeks, earning the most gorgeous smile jimin has ever perceived from anyone.

"you're so beautiful," jimin whispers, unsure if the younger male had comprehended him.

"not as beautiful as you." taehyung leans down and donates a gentle kiss on jimin's exposed forehead. the only thing the latter can focus on is how ginger the kiss was, how genuine it felt. he loved everything about it.

"so i guess i won the bet?" smirking, taehyung squeezes the imminent sentence from his jimin-tainted lips.

with a deep sigh and a smile lying upon the lips of the older in dismay, he answers truthfully.

"i guess you did."
