There Can Only Be One ~bts #wattys2019

Chapter 40

The ride back to your place is a peaceful one and you find yourself feeling extremely grateful to the boys. Who in the world was lucky enough to have friends such as these.

"Thank you Taehyung." You say suddenly. Your boyfriend raises an eyebrow at you.

"Haven't you thanked me enough." He says.

"I figured one more time wouldn't hurt." You say. "But I mean it, thank you. You took care of me and you're always spoiling me. Ever since we met. I'm an idiot for not noticing it sooner."

"Are you drunk??" Tae asked. "I barely gave you any wi-"

"I'm not drunk fool. I'm trying to say I appreciate you." You let out. He laughs a little but this his expression sobers up.

"I appreciate you too."He says. Now it's your turn to be confused. What could he possibly appreciate you for?

"For choosing me," He says answering your unspoken question. Your face heats up and you are opening your mouth to respond but Taehyung has now pulled up to your house. You let the conversation die there. You step out of the car, as does he. The two of you enter the house together. As your walking through the door your feet catch on something. You look down and see a small box.

"Taehyung.." You mutter bending over to pick it up. You turn and press the box into his chest. "This was you wasn't it." You already know the answer but you ask anyway.

"You should open it inside." Is all he says in reply. The two of you shuffle inside and you hear the door close behind you. You slowly tear open the box. Inside is a smaller velvet box. Your heart starts to beat ridiculously fast.

"Go ahead." He coaxes. You hesitate before slowly lifting the lid of the box a little. You swear it gleams like something from a movie. Inside is a necklace laced in a silver chain with a small crystal at the center piece. The inside of the box says Swarvoski. Your hands start to shake.

"I couldn't decide on a gift and I knew if it was too nice you'd freak out. Originally I wanted to get you channel earrings so we could match but then I thought that was too ch-"

"Kim Taehyung. Shut up." You breathe so quietly you think he might not hear you. But of course, he does. He was eagerly waiting for some sort of reaction to his gift.

"Hmmm?" He wonders moving closer to you. You look up at him. Your boyfriend. Yours.

"This is the nicest thing anyone has ever done for me." You tell him. He furrows his brows.

"Nicer than a T.V.? "He wonders. You roll your eyes and push him away.

"Way to ruin the moment babe," you complain. He just laughs and pulls you back to him you swear your heart stops.

"I'm sorry. " he says. You look up at him and shudder. Did he look more handsome than earlier? "I'm glad you like the gift." You let out a small sigh.

"I guess I can accept your apology." You say playfully. Taehyung smirks and bends down to give you a kiss on your forehead. You feel your cheeks heat up. Why are you reacting like this? The two of you have kissed before.

"Thank you jagiya." He mumbles lips pressed to your hair. You feel embarrassed by his closeness for some reason and pull back a little. Maybe it's because Jimin called the two of you out. Who knows?

"So..." you say. He raises an eyebrow.

"So?" He repeats. Taehyung clearly didn't understand where you were going with this. Neither did you.

"Jimin knows." You say suddenly. He's taking back by this. You can tell that much but you can't tell how he feels about it.

"Mhmm." He says. " why are you bringing this up?" You fluster a little bit before responding. You wonder if there was a way to cover your shyness.

"Uhhh I- I thought maybe that we weren't telling people yet." You explain. Taehyung catches on and smiles at you teasingly.

"Are you just bringing this up so we don't have to be close right now?" He says.

"What???? Why would I do that." You muse. He crosses his arms.

"If that's not the case then.." He says approaching you yet again.

"Then what?" You wonder frowning at him.

Kiss me." He demands. You squeeze the necklace box in your hand.

"Hmm..." Your boyfriend steps closer to you bending down a little so you're eye to eye. He quirks his head to the side smiling. Your insides churn. You squeeze your eyes shut and then open them again before leaning up to press your lips against his. They're soft and warm just like last time. You can feel him smile into the kiss as he wraps his arms around you bringing you closer than you thought possible. The box drops and you bring your hands to his neck holding him gently in place.

The kiss is soft at first as you test the waters but it's not too long before you push further. You feel something wet and warm against your bottom lip and you let out a small gasp. Taehyung slips his tongue into your mouth exploring every inch. You let out a moan and curl your fingers into his soft hair. Something low resounds in his chest and vibrates through you. You feel lightheaded as your heartbeat quickens. The two of you press into each other with a sort of desperateness you've never felt. Ever. His hand that was once on the small of your back moves lower and lower until-

You're cell phone chirps causing you two to jump apart like you were caught doing something you shouldn't. You stare at him bewildered. His eyes are gleaming and his face is slightly flushed. You note the quick rise and fall of his chest glad to see that you're not the only one who is affected by this.

"I should check that." You say. He nods slowly before clearing his throat.

"Yeah. I'll go change." He states before leaving. You quickly look to your phone which had been discarded at the moment that you walked into the house. You pick it up and see a message from jungkook. You frown at the screen wondering if something was wrong. Your mind wanders the jimin for real this time and you silently wonder if he told anyone else. Quickly you open the text.

Did you try the cake?

You let out a sigh of relief and quickly respond saying that you were still from dinner. He responds that you should still eat dessert before saying goodnight and happy birthday once more. You smile at your screen and walk back to your room. Taehyung is waiting sitting on your bed.

"Do you want to watch another movie or..." He wonders. He must still be feeling some way about the kiss. You laugh trying to break the awkwardness.

"Sure, you can pick." You tell him heading towards your closet and looking for pajamas for yourself. "Jungkook wants us to try his cake by the way." You call out, picking out a large t-shirt and some biker shorts.

"Oouu I forgot there was cake," Taehyung responds. He seems excited now. You walk back out of the closet and smile at him. It was cute seeing him giddy for food. Something the two of you have in common. "Do you have candles? You need to make a wish."

"Mmmm not the kind you put on the cake." You tell him honestly. He pouts. "It's not like I have anything to wish for anyway. I already have everything." He smiles again.

"You've been sentimental today." He says. You shrug.

"I blame you." You tell him. His smile grows to make a little box in the center of his face.

"You're welcome." He says and then he stands up walking to you. Your entire body goes tense. He notices and laughs a little.

"Don't worry I don't bite." He says. You're cheeks burn with the implication. Taehyung wraps your small frame in his arms and places a kiss on your forehead.

"Sometimes you do." You mutter. He laughs again and vibrates through you because of your closeness. He pulls away from you gently.

"Get dressed so we can get some cake." He says.

"Yes sir" You fake a salute and he walks out of your room smiling. While you are changing your phone vibrates again and you look down at it. It's Suga this time.

Can I see you tomorrow...?
