THROUGH THE WINDOW | TAEKOOK ✓

WARMTH

"To be honest I didn't even know we had this at all." Rosé said truthfully, looking for a small price tag or black and white barcode anywhere on the stuffed animal. "You know what, I'll give it to you for free." The red haired girl offers, holding the plush out to the stunned and surprised ash grayed hair boy.

"Igeo jinjjaya? Really?" Taehyung asks to be sure, holding the plush slightly afar, as he wasn't exactly positive.

Rosé gives a genuine smile and waves her hands around to show it was nothing on her behalf. "Yeah! Just have a great time with your boyfriend over the holiday break!" Then, she pushed the plush toward Taehyung, since the other seemed hesitant.

Taehyung looks down ta the plush in his hands, and then shifts his gaze back to the sweet red haired girl behind the cashier counter. Despite being grateful for such a kind offer and suggestion, he couldn't possible walk out with a free present. He pulls out 20000 won from his wallet, and places it on the counter passing it farther down the table to ensure the girl would take it no matter what, whether she wanted to or not.

"Aishhhhh-" Rosé says, and she was about to move the money back to Taehyung, but the other stopped her. "No please take it. I insist." Taehyung protests and pleads, and giving her eyes of innocence and desperation.

"Jungkook is so lucky to have someone so sweet like you."

［ AT THE HOUSE/ LATER IN THE DAY ］
The brown haired boy was on the floor of their bedroom, with a fine tip paintbrush in his hand, as he added a few darker grey, detailed streaks to his artwork. His tongue poked against his cheek, and eyes focused unwavering despite the direct sunlight, while the color hues swished and marbled on the canvas, like white, speckled snow caps on a mountain.

Jungkook leaned back from the canvas to view from a better angle, biting his lower lip. "It's so hard! I can't do this." The younger boy said, discouraged, and pouting cutely while tilting his head to the side like a puppy.

"But I'll do this for Taehyung." Jungkook thought in his head confidently, as he pawed back to the small painting pallet with multiple puddles of light, soft and intense, pigmented dark colors of the endless rainbow, scattered around the plate. Dipping the paintbrush in the cup of water, watching the saturated color, peacefully mix into clear liquid, like dyed smoke in the air.

"Taehyung is so hard to paint because he's so handswome and pwetty"

The child laid on the wooden hardware floor on his stomach, painting another part of the other. Fixated on the canvas, shaping and outlining the roundness and curviness of the pupil with a condensed 'toffee brown' adding life to the portrait. Touching up the center of the pupil with a lighter, infused coffee color, making the picture of his lover, more alike to his humble and heartwarming personality. The eyelashes touched upon and curled slightly up, and white, glossy highlights in his eyes, making them appear magical and fairy-like.

Creating the sharpness of Taehyung's jawline with darker shadow tones, purely exemplifying and demonstrating the raw, underlying beauty the older truly has. After, a dust and sprinkle of light pink blush across his face, made an image and visual, so unreal and so perfect. The colors picked by the artist, simply complimented each other, both the opposing hues, and cool and warm tones.

The brown haired boy looked to the side at the ticking clock on the nightstand, to realize that his lover would be arriving and returning very soon, in less than thirty minutes or so. Shifting his gaze to the window, seeing the smeared, streaked watercolors of orange, pink and blue painted across the sky, with white doves flying. White doves were rare to see, especially on days cold as these during the holiday season, but they seemed to be happily flying against the breeze, feathers aligned with the sun. Maybe they were a sign or cheer to the next year ahead, twenty twenty.

The younger got off his feet and ran to the tiny room in the corner of the house, which was basically a storage area for items they put away for the time being. He rustled through the large, brown cardboard boxes filled to the brim with randomness, sometimes hitting his head against the sharp corners of them, and touching his head from his silly clumsiness of his actions. Moving the bulky, old lamps and abandoned college, university books, in hopes to find what he needed for his present. However, within the time, he had discovered the item he was searching for.

Jungkook pulled out the silvery, shiny, foiled wrapping paper with cute walking gingerbread men, out of the plastic, packaging tube to be taken out back to the bedroom. He set the paper down on the floor, and began wrapping his present in protective, armor bubble wrap material. The younger gave a bunny tooth smile at the portrait and grazed his hand over the surface, before completely wrapping it up til Christmas day.

Settling the bubble wrapped canvas in the sleek wrapping paper, taping the ends of the paper to ensure it's compactness. For the final touches, the younger included a red ribbon bow, and a reflective tag with red and white stripes on it, writing in a black gel pen and drawing hearts.

즐거운 성탄절 보내시고 새해 복 많이 받으세요~ !
( Merry Christmas and Happy New Year~! )

나는 달에 당신을 사랑합니다.
( I love you to the moon and back.)

너는 내 전부 야.
( You are my everything. )

love: bunbun ღ

Jungkook held the present tight in his arms, like a polaroid memory he wouldn't let go of. He brought the wrapped gift to their closet, hiding it all the way in the back, careful to not make as much as a mess so the other wouldn't get too suspicious, like he did this morning,  after all Christmas was tomorrow.

Stepping out of the closet, he closed the door, not knowing he was holding his breath the entire time. Facing the entrance door, he spoke softly to himself.

"I love you Taehyung."
