She surprised Taehyung with a gift when he arrived at her apartment to pick her up. She handed the bag to him quickly, afraid that if she didn't do it right away, she wouldn't do it at all.
"I know it's small, but I thought maybe you'd like to have some pictures of us." She twisted her hands together as Taehyung pulled framed photographs of the two of them from the gift bag. He quickly looked up and smiled to reassure her.

"No, they're perfect! I love them!"Taehyung smiled his boxy smile as he examined the pictures of them. He couldn't help but think about how beautiful she looked in them, and tonight in person.
"I'm glad, I was hoping you would like them." She looked down, embarrassed, but pleased. "We should go, our movie starts at 7." Taehyung nodded and motioned for her to walk out first.
The two chatted about their day as they drove to the pizzeria. Nothing was said that could betray the true feelings of the pair, but they were there regardless, buried just below the surface.
Her master plan was to subtly show Taehyung that she didn't want to remain only friends. It always seemed to work in the movies, so it had to be full proof.
The only problem was that she wasn't great at flirting in general, and so she was a little lost in how to proceed.
So, she kept reverting back to the one thing she knew best.
Puns.
"Hey Tae, I like you a waffle lot."
"You're my butter half."
"I like you a latte."
Everytime she opened her mouth, her nerves go the best of her and she felt foolish. Taehyung just laughed at her witty Puns, congratulating her on their corniness. Which was t the reaction she was hoping for. Things weren't going as she had planned.
Taehyung didn't wonder why she kept telling him bad jokes, after all, she did it all of the time. All of her jokes were bad Puns. That was one of the things that he loved about her. However, with each of her bad Valentine's Day jokes, he felt a painful feeling nagging him. He couldn't help but wish that she was being serious instead of kidding around. However, instead of just coming clean and confronting her, he laughed and told her a lie.

He told her that her jokes were fantastic.
They arrived at the movie theater early enough to buy their tickets and snacks. At the popcorn counter, Taehyung was surprised when she asked if they could share a popcorn. Usually they each bought their own, internally thinking that it would prevent any awkward hand touching in the popcorn bucket. He wondered what had changed, or if he was reading too much into things. He felt like a teenager again, but the thought made Taehyung nervous. He quietly nodded his head and internally swam through his thoughts as she put his favorite seasoning on the popcorn. He knew now wasn't the time to think about her like this.
She asked for one popcorn bucket because it was inevitable that with one bucket, their hands would touch. What could be more romantic than that?
The first time their hands touched in the popcorn bucket, Taehyung started and pulled his hand back quickly, effectively knocking the popcorn onto the floor. She gasped as Taehyung muttered to himself about how he was a clumsy dork.
"No you're not. You're cute." Her words startled Taehyung and herself, but she didnt back down. Like the bad jokes from earlier, they'd come out of nowhere. This time though, she was being completely honest.
"I- I'm what?"
"You're cute Tae and- and I," Her words tried into a mumble that Taehyung couldn't quite decipher.
"I'm sorry, what did you say, I couldn't quite hear."
"I said that I like you, and I love you." She looked down at the popcorn scattered on the floor, her heart racing. A moment of silence passed and she felt incredibly stupid. She chastised herself for not being more careful with her words, but Taehyung interrupted her inner monologue.
"I like and love you too." Taehyung gently took her hand. "I have for a while now." She nodded but found his words hard to comprehend, but after a moment, she spoke up.
"I- I have too, I was just afraid to tell you because I wasn't sure you'd feel the same way." Taehyung nodded in understanding, having experienced the same fear.
"There's something else I've wanted to do for a while now too." Taehyung spoke nervously, but he was sure of what he wanted.
"What?"
"This." Then Taehyung leaned closer and kissed her gently.
Just like the other lovers.
They'd both gotten their wishes.
Now they truly were one another's.
