"Will you marry me?"

"Oh my god! Yes, yes, yes. I do, I do.", Taehyung whisper yells, flapping his arms around to create the funny imagery.

"Dork.", Jeongguk mumbles with a light chuckle, sitting himself back with the other male.

"Says you, dork.", the older male retorts with a soft punch to the other's shoulder.

"We don't even have a say in this marriage now do we?", Jeongguk suddenly changes the topic, bringing a little tension in the air.

Taehyung though, not wanting to bring an awkward atmosphere, smiles.

"Yeah, we don't. Life is rough and tough bro.", Taehyung replies back with a stupid grin.

"It's nice to know someone between us is sane. I like how you are taking this lightly.", Jeongguk utters out, not knowing these words may be too insensitive.

"You know the say, 'don't judge a book by its cover' That's how it is for us. I'm not taking it lightly. I'm just trying to ease the tension. Just imagine how much hate we'll get for this. Two men together. Not something acceptable in Korea. But do we have a say on this? No, we don't. We can't do anything so why stress yourself over it."

"You're cool.", Jeongguk says patting the other on the shoulder.

"You're cool too, dude.", Taehyung replies, his back dropping on the mattress of the bed taking the younger off guard. He shakes his head and looks at Taehyung.

"So, how's life treating you?", Jeongguk questions, lying down with the other.

"Well, if you can't already tell, it's fucking me up. Marriage, fake friends, other shitty stuff. Just stressing. You?"

"I thought stressing isn't in your vocabulary.", Jeongguk looks at the other with his peripheral vision, watching as the other stares at the ceiling.

"Nah, dude. Life is shit and stressing is a part of it. I'm just trying to help myself."

"Life sucks at its finest. It can't get any worse now can it?", Jeongguk fully turns his head towards the other male, having a sudden urge to stare at the other.

"Don't jinx it. Who knows if another truck hits us with it's complications?"

"My mouth is zipped.", Jeongguk says, putting his fingers in a pinch close to his lips to illustrate the metaphor.

Silence. Only the sound of breathing was heard in the eerie silence.

"Are we ever getting out of this labyrinth?", Taehyung questions, his eyes shutting close. A deep inhale leaving his lips. A sudden aura surrounding the room.

Jeongguk stares for awhile. Labyrinth. It is a complicated path. How will they ever get out?

"I don't know. Maybe we'll be stuck. But hey on the bright side I'm getting married to a down to earth man. An attractive man at that.", Jeongguk still has his gaze on Taehyung. He watched as the other flushed, he could literally see it. Neck tinting pink, a soft smile plastering on his lips. Eyes still closed.

"You flatter me, Jeongguk.", Taehyung mumbles turning his head towards Jeongguk, opening his eyes to see the other male staring back. "You're handsome as well. Maybe this is love at first sight."

Jeongguk chuckles lightly.

"Maybe."
