Later that night, Taehyung and you stood outside the door to the dining hall. You were a little earlier even though Taehyung insisted it was way cooler to come later than everyone.

Taehyung was wearing a satin grey suit and it was a given that he totally rocked it. You usually weren't one to like light-colored suits on people, but Taehyung looked good.

Taehyung had chose a dark red suit jacket over a white dress shirt for you based on the fact that it really brought out the color of your skin. He said it made you glow. You weren't sure what that meant, but you trusted him.

When you both entered the dining hall, you had to be pulled along by Taehyung because you're way too distracted by how beautiful everything was. You were on the bottom floor and from where you were you could look up and see that there were other floors above you were people were dining, too. A huge chandelier hung right at the center opening right over the polished wooden dance floor. On the farther side was the same as the hallway from earlier and you could see the full view of the ocean across the horizon. Everything was breathtakingly astonishing.

You breath hitches as you see the blinding sunlight hit the ocean perfectly like diamonds were scattered throughout it. You're reminded of the fear of it, but before you could even feel the full impact of it, you're distracted by the silhouette of him. You know that he's not the only one that stood up, and you know he's not standing to greet you, but he's the reason you  lose your breath completely.

His silhouette isn't clear, but the sunlight behind him makes him look like an angel. You stood there wanting to cry by how much it hurt to look at him, but you couldn't take your eyes off him. You're not even sure whose at the table yet because right now there was only him. Frankly, you forgot where you were or what you were doing.

Finally he meets eyes with you, and he doesn't say a word. At least you don't think so.

Everything's happening in slow motion and you can see him mouthing words through a smile but it doesn't register.

The vibration of Taehyung's deep voice whispering in your ear is what finally wakes you from your thoughts, and everything returns to normal. You shook your head because you're not even sure what Taehyung said even if you heard it clearly.

"H-huh?" You blurted out. Your cheeks flooded red, and you looked at him.

Taehyung pursed his lips and shoves you to sit next to Hoseok in the booth, and Jungkook's on the other side of him so it's not like he has a choice but to stay. Hoseok glances at Jungkook as if wondering if he's going to move, but Jungkook stays put on his phone.

You glanced at all the possible seats you could've taken but Taheyung sits down before you can even say anything. Not wanting to make a scene, you sit down.
