Romeo and Juliet | Kim Taehyung ✓

[night of the play]

"As rich shall Romeo's by his lady's lie; Poor sacrifices of our enmity!" Hongbin cried, swiping his hand through his hair.

"A glooming peace this morning with it brings; The sun, for sorrow, will not show his head: Go hence, to have more talk of these sad things; Some shall be pardon'd, and some punished: For never was a story of more woe than this of Juliet and her Romeo."

The curtain closed, blocking out the audiences' view of Taehyung and Lunai's deceased bodies. The sound of hooting and applause filled the cast's ears.

Taehyung helped Lunai up as the curtain opened again. The actors, actresses, and their professor all linked arms and bowed. They all looked up in surprise when flowers were thrown at them.

TaiYin and Yoongi were in the audience, cheering just as loud as anyone else. They were sitting next to each other, his hand on her knee as he snapped his fingers in admiration to the cast.

Lunai laughed, her head tilting back in joy. Taehyung laughed along with her, knowing that Jimin would definitely be proud of her.

"We did it!" she shouted. "We did it, Taehyung!"

He eagerly nodded, his eyes blurry and hot from the intensity of the light and temperature of the auditorium.

Taehyung didn't know what took him over. Maybe it was how hot and sweaty he was or the cheering, but he kissed Lunai on the lips.

If it was even possible, the applause and shouts got even louder. Lunai was shocked and didn't even know what was happening. When she was acting, it all came naturally to her, but when she wasn't, his kisses felt more real and steady.

She kissed him back but was the first to pull away. Her face was burning from the length of the kiss and the harsh rays of the spotlights.

The curtains closed for the last time, signaling the end of the play for their opening night. The actors and actresses all sighed in relief.

"Man, I am tired!" Jisoo shouted, stretching her arms.

"Are you two dating?" Juhyun asked Taehyung.

"What? I thought they were already dating," Hongbin commented. "Man, how much have I missed out on?"

Everybody laughed at Hongbin's obliviousness. He scratched his head nervously and chuckled, apologizing for himself.

"Are we dating?" Taehyung asked no one in particular. "I don't know. Maybe one day."

Juhyun groaned. "You literally kissed her after the play already ended, and she kissed you back!"

Lunai chuckled, grabbing Taehyung's arm and placing it around her waist. "Maybe one day, Juhyun."

"Why?" she whined. "Why not now?"

Lunai shared a loving look with Taehyung. "Because we both share a secret."

Taehyung leaned down, his lips touching her earlobes. "Jimin would be proud of you."
