It's been three weeks since Taehyung reunited with his mother after being apart for six years -- and I've never seen him happier than he is now after that day. Not a single day goes by without them texting each other, though it's mostly her sending pictures of Yeontan since Taehyung absolutely loves that little ball of floof. But the most prominent change was one that I had suspected a long time ago.

He doesn't have nightmares anymore.

And that caused his mood to drastically change, along with his personality. Not necessarily in a bad way -- actually it's the opposite.

When we got back from his mother that day, the first thing he did was calling Namjoon and demanded that they all meet up the next day. They did; and that's when he finally told them. He told them what they've been waiting six years for him to tell them. It's safe to say that a deep conversation between the best friends followed after Taehyung's confession, which apparently had ended up in a crying-party. This particular detail was spilled by Areum, and completely denied by Taehyung who still claims that he's not a cryer and later cursed Hoseok for being too soft towards his girlfriend, since they apparently promised each other that what happened that night between those boys stayed between the boys and within the boys only. But Areum has her way of persuasion, and Hoseok is softer than a crème brûlée when it comes to anything related to his beloved soulmate.

Ironically enough, for a bunch of ex-fuckboys who played with every heartstring they could wrap around their fingers, they're quite emotional. Though, I'm just proud that he finally opened up to them.

Along with Taehyung spilling the tea about his mother to his friends, he also announced that we finally made our relationship official -- which honestly is something I still can't really seem to accept or comprehend. After we got back from his mother, we still had a couple of days off school which we used to just spend time with each other and our friends. Of course after we told the boys and Areum, we needed to tell Baekhyun, Chanyeol and Kai. According to Namjoon, Hoseok and Jimin, our relationship didn't come as much of a surprised since they had suspected it ever since that party with the pepero dare. Though, the second trio was a whole other story since they had been completely oblivious to what was going on behind the scenes, and thus reacted by gaping so big making us all think their jaws would dislocate.

When their shock eventually settled, they started preaching about how this fact is literally going to break the school.

To my fear, it did.

But the way they all found out wasn't because any of us told someone outside our group. No. Actually, I wish that was the way it went down. However, Taehyung just had to be as extra as he could for some sadistic, evil reason.

All I did was standing by my locker, minding my own business while waiting for Areum to come by so we could walk together to class. And out of nowhere, Taehyung sneaked up behind me, locked his arms around my waist and pulled me into his chest.

"Morning babe," he had said, before turning me around to face him so he could fully connect our lips. At this point all attention were on us, and I don't think my cheeks had ever been that hot. Ever. He had then proceeded to intertwine our fingers and guided me to class; all this while I had been completely speechless and utterly shook.
