secret place

TAEHYUNG was walking out the door of his home the next day and down the steps hand in hand with jungkook. he had never thought life could be so perfect.

falling in love with your best friend isn't something you would regularly do. the younger was feeling safe. going to his favorite spot in the whole world wasn't even on his mind. he was happy to be with taehyung.

it felt like a fantasy like nothing was realistic. it was like jungkook was a doll and someone was playing around with him. he has never been so happy in his life.

and as for taehyung, oh boy taehyung. he felt like love in the air was surrounding him. he had never imagined even after seeing their friends in love, that this is what love would feel like.

before taehyung knew it, he was walking through the field where he was a few days ago. he never knew that there would be an ending to this long yard of grass. taehyung thought it would go on forever to eternity.

jungkook's breathing became heavier. he had never told anyone anything about this place. it was always sacred to him.

taehyung was the first person jungkook had ever trusted. he never trusted his parents, it was hard to trust people who hurt you.

falling in love was hard for taehyung, maybe even harder than jeongguk trusting someone. taehyung never had the time for love. even from or for his parents.

taehyung felt like he never needed love, he just needed friends and a reputation to have a good life, that is until jungkook came along.

he brought light to taehyung's eyes. jeongguk helped taehyung feel emotion in his soul again, he didn't feel like a lifeless body anymore.

still, they were walking through a field of grass and flowers.

it felt like an eternity, but when taehyung was with jungkook, it felt like nothing. it felt as if nothing can hurt either of them, it felt as if they weren't suffocating anymore. it was like they finally got to breathe.

they made it to a small, abandoned village. it had old homes and old mines, it had flowers blooming everywhere. they made it to an old home, next to it was a garden.

the garden seemed to bloom with lots of different varieties of flowers.

"taehyung, would you like to know why there are so many flowers here?" jungkook asked.

taehyung nodded his head, still mesmerized by the beautiful garden.

"every time you did something nice to me, every time you held my hand or hugged me, i planted a flower. the flower shows appreciation on what you've done, and some flowers," jungkook sighed, "some of these flowers show that i love you and i trust you. even though i had never said it before today, i do love you, and i trust you with all my heart." he said, taehyung felt his cheeks begin to heat up.

taehyung hugged the latter like there was no tomorrow, he held onto jeongguk as his life depended on it. he couldn't help but laugh at his actions.

jungkook's giggle triggered taehyung to smile, blushing even harder than before.

taehyung moves closer to the garden and picks up an aster from the garden and walks back over to jungkook, putting the flower in his hair. he blushes at taehyung's action

"so, this is what you've been keeping from me?" taehyung said to jungkook, running his fingers through the younger boy's hair. the younger just nods his head.

"i have a question," jungkook begins

"tae, would you like to be my boyfriend? i never got to ask you directly yesterday"

taehyung stands there in shock

"of course kook, i would love to"

"you have to promise me one thing though," taehyung says.

"promise me that when you are stressed, when you are unhappy, come to me. that you will come to me whenever you want, in the middle of the day or the middle of the night, I'll be there." taehyung says with a lovely smile.

"of course, but what about these flowers?" jungkook questions the older.

"we will come here on the daily and water the flowers, we will turn this place into a beautiful flower garden." taehyung says, staring deeply into the younger's eyes.

jungkook stares at taehyungs lips. his breath stopped for at least a second when he felt a pair of lips on his.

he loved everything about it. and that wasn't the end to taehyung's and jungkook's story, though.

oh no. they were just getting started.

no more secrets, no more lies.

no more secret place for jungkook to hide. he doesn't need this secret place to run away when he feels unsafe or stressed.

because now,

he has everything he's been wanting.

taehyung.
