You are known in school for having good grades, your amazing ability in any sports you try, and your overall successfulness. You were also know for hanging out with the most odd and weird kid in school. Kim Taehyung.
You knew that he was and you didn't care. He's your childhood friend and you wouldn't give him up for anything. You two are like 2 peas in pod because you're always together and you solve each other's problems like it's math class.
Of course you found him weird at times but the the weird things that he usually did were more like small, cute gestures that made your day lighter. He made funny faces or told incredibly absurd jokes, you even gave him the nickname alien for it. You found it endearing and it doesn't make sense to you why most people think of it so differently of him than you.
Even though his weird personality freaks people out, you fell in love with it. He can make your heart skip a beat and your cheeks feel warm just with the cute gestures. Yes, it was odd to you that you fell in love with him, but it was also bittersweet .
His off attitude often left people thinking negative things of him. You defend him fiercely because he's your best friend. Most people thought you did it because you took pity on him, but thoughts of pity never crossed your mind when it came to Taehyung.
Sometimes girls would go out with him, maybe even a few dates, but none of them ever turned out successful. Some say it was the biggest mistake that they've made, or the leave crying because he does things no person could possibly think of.

Like usual, you and Taehyung walked to school together, but today it was different. He didn't do his normal "wait for you and stare at the sun until it burns while walking routine". It was odd to you that he didn't do those things today and it makes you wonder if he's okay.
Out of nowhere Taehyung stops, causing you to flinch. He turns around, looks at you, and puts his hands on your shoulders. You heart stopped and your breath hitched.
"Do you think I'm weird?" He asks suddenly.
"Why do you ask that?"
"Because people call me weird all the time and I don't know if it's good or not,"Taehyung responds lightly.
"Being weird is who you are and I like it, it's adorable," you smile at him.
Taehyung bit his lip and smiled, happy by your answer. He then grabbed your hand, squeezing it tight. "I'm really glad to hear that from you."
Your stomach erupted into butterflies and your face became warm as you nodded at his response.
You and Taehyung walked hand in hand. When you reached the front, people looked at you two in shock. They whispered to each other but you ignored it and Tae didn't seem to notice, so you enjoyed the hand that was enveloping yours.
As soon as you and Taehyung got to your class, you let go of each other's hands. Curious, you learned of to him and asked "not that I cared, but why did you do that?"
He shrugged at you and tapped his chin in though. "Mayyybeee because I felt like it," He smiles brightly at you.
A tiny 'oh' escaped from your lips. You looked down at your hands, knowing that you got your hopes too high up.
He's just being extra weird today. You told yourself.
The day continued liked that, with Taehyung being extra weird. He didn't fiddle with the keychain he always had with him, but actually payed attention for once. This was good, yes, but it bothers you and makes you wonder if he is alright.
More time passes by and lunch arrives. You and Tae normally went out to eat somewhere, but you were surprised when Tae had packed lunch for the two of you.
"Let's stay here and eat this together," he suggested and he smiled.
He started taking out the food and noticed that it was easy food that there was no way he could've messed up making. You still looked at him strangely. He seemed to take notice in this and told you that his mom packed it.
This wasn't normal. You placed your hand on his head to check for a fever, thinking that maybe he's sick. Nothing.
"Taehyung are you okay, you seem off," You ask slightly worried.
He shook his head at you, rolling his eyes before grabbing your hands.
"What," he asked confused, "Is this weird to you?"
His was voice was deeper, more serious than normal. It sent shivers through your body and gave you goosebumps.
"Well... yeah. This is so out of the ordinary for you," you say cautiously.
"You don't like it?" Taehyung asks confused.
"No! I mean, if you wanted this more often or daily or something, then I wouldn't mind. It's just hard to imagine you like this!" You quickly say.
"Is it a good thing?" Tae asked curiously
"I don't know, maybe if you think of it that way."
Taehyung nodding, lowing his head and biting his lip. He wondered if you were trying to confuse him.
He quickly shook off the thought and stopped questioning you. So he doesn't worry you anymore, he tells you that he's fine and hands you food. You looked at him skeptically, but you don't turn down his offer.
Taehyung, uninterested in food, tapped his chin in thought. Planning on what he would do next or what he should do. That's when he realized.
"Y/N, we should play that pocky game."
You choked on your food. "What?!"
"Come onnnnn it'll be fun!"
You sighed and looked at him as he excitedly got the pocky out of the packed lunch. He placed one end of the pocky in his mouth and he motioned for you to do the same. You hesitated at first, but then complied. You closed your eyes and started biting. Of course, Taehyung had different plans as he bit whatever was left and kissed you. You pulled back in surprise and Tae pouted.
You touched your lips "y-you kissed me."
"It was the only way you would've let me," Taehyung looks down.
You roll your eyes as you laugh at him. "Oh if you only know Tae."
He looked at you curiously. You rolled your eyes again and kissed him. "I like you a lot stupid."
"Really?"
"Duh, of course!"
Taehyung sighed happily as he held your hand in his.
"Hmm since you like me so much, will you go on a date with me?" He asked hopeful and cocky.
You nodded happily and hugged him. You've waited to be asked that for so long and now you can't wait to go on the date.
(A/N): I'm terrible at endings but I hope it was still enjoyable. Also, I hope the length of this makes up for not writing in over a week 😬
I didn't edit mistakes or even look for them. Hopefully it isn't terrible
