"So. The new couple. How are the two of you doing tonight?" the MC asks.
"We're both doing great," Taehyung says, taking the lead when you don't say anything. You don't really want to say anything; you are too focused on the live audience.
"And how is your relationship going so far?" she asks.
"Our relationship is going great," Taehyung says.
You nod.

"So, Y/N," the MC says.
You look at her and think, 'dammit, a direct question.'
"How old are you?"
"Oh, I'm Y/A," you say, glad the question was a simple one.

A/N: since you are still in school for this fanfic, the oldest you can be is 18, (but obviously if you are older than that, just pretend you are 18 for the sake of this story. If you are younger than 18, then by all means use your actual age. So for example, I'm 15, so I'm using my normal age for this story.

"Ah, a young one," the MC says. "Is it hard, dating someone who is older than you?"
"No, it's quite easy, actually," you say.
"That's nice. And Taehyung, how is it having a younger girlfriend?"
"Age doesn't matter to me," Taehyung says. "It's the personality that counts."
He runs his thumb along your knuckles as you blush at his compliment.
The audience makes 'aww' sounds.

"So, Y/N. Since it's been outed that you are dating Taehyung, how is life for you?"
'Great,' you think. 'Another question.'
"Well, I've become a huge topic of gossip in school, but it doesn't really bother me. What matters is that I have my true friends."
"And are your true friends BTS?"

"Oh, I definitely consider them all friends," you say. "BTS, as well as my best friend, B/F/N."
"Well, we look forward to seeing more of you, Y/N. You are quite the character."
You smile a little.

The next few questions are directed at Taehyung, mainly about BTS and their plans for the future.
"Y/N. I have one final question for you."
"Ask away," you say.
"How long do you think your relationship will last?"

You freeze. What sort of a question is that? Taehyung squeezes your hand, urging you to go on.
"Uh... I guess how ever long it lasts. But, I do know that I will cherish every moment of it."
Taehyung smiles at this. He kisses your cheek, and you blush. Another round of 'awws' sounds from the audience.

"Well, that's all the time we have today. Good luck for the future, you two. I wish you the best, and I'm sure all fans of BTS wish you guys well."
You and Taehyung wave to the cameras and audience as you leave the stage.
"And cut!" the MC says.

"Stop saying that!" Taehyung says on the drive back to your house.
"But I was horrible," you say.
"You were really good during that interview," Taehyung says. Stop doubting yourself."
"I bet I made a complete fool of myself," you say.
"I beg to differ."

Taehyung pulls into your driveway and walks you to your door.
"You should stay for dinner," you say.
"You want me to?" he asks.
You nod.
"Alright."

Taehyung follows you inside.
"There's still an hour until my Eomma comes home. Then she'll start cooking. So... Dinner will be a few hours away."
"I can wait, you know," Taehyung says.
You laugh.

Taehyung pulls you over to the couch where he sits down and pulls you onto his lap. You blush.
"Aren't I too heavy?"
"I've carried the hyungs before. You're nothing compared to them."
You laugh, and Taehyung pulls you further against his body.

He kisses your cheek and holds you, arms wrapped around your stomach.
"Should we watch the interview?" Taehyung asks.
"Let's get it over with," you say.
You reach forward to the remote and switch on the television. You find the channel that is showing reruns of the interview.
