Taehyung's POV

"...because I've had a crush on you for even longer." Jimin says quietly.

My eyes widen and my heart beats faster, if that's even possible anymore. By now my heartbeat is so uncontrollable I don't feel human anymore. Jimin really wants to kill me.

"W-what?" I rasp. I stare down at my hands in his. 

Jimin sighs and tightens his grip on my hands. "It's true. I don't even know when I started liking you, because at first I kept denying my feelings towards you. And when I finally decided that I really was in love with you, I was too scared to tell you. Because... well, I don't know. You were just so cool and handsome and I knew you would never like someone like me."  

I stand there in silence, unsure of how to respond. I can't believe this is actually happening. It's like my biggest dream just came true, but it still feels like a dream. 

Finally, I find my voice. The words come out, quietly, shyly:

"You're cool and handsome too." I immediately blush afterwards.

My gaze moves upwards from our hands and I look at Jimin's face to see his reaction. His cheeks turn pink and he smiles cutely, laughing lightly at my words. 

"But, Taehyungie, you're still cooler and more handsome than me." He looks so cute and cuddly that I just want to tackle him in a hug, but I'm still in shock that he actually likes me back. 

"No, you're cooler-" I start to say, but he presses his lips against mine, cutting me off. 

I smile against his soft lips, my eyes fluttering shut. 

"Wait." I reluctantly pull away. "But... our careers... you said that-"

"I honestly don't care about that right now." Jimin smiles, copying my words from when I first kissed him in the dance room. 

"Seriously though..." he continues. "If we love each other so much, what's the point of hiding it anymore? People can say whatever the fuck they want, but my love for you will never change."

I blush uncontrollably, then I pinch Jimin's cheeks hard. "You're so cheesy, you loser." I laugh. 

"Owww." He slaps my hands away and touches his red face, giggling softly. 

"I love you, Jimin." I suddenly say. It feels so good to say it now, now that I don't have to hesitate or regret saying the words. 

"I love you too. Idiot." He stands on his tiptoes and quickly pecks my cheek, then he runs away, laughing wildly.

The rest of the afternoon consists of us chasing each other like little children around the park.
