Arrange To Love (Vope/ Vhope)

Chapter 7

I WANT A HAPPY GODDAMN STORY SO IN MY STORIES CORONAVIRUS DOESN'T EXIST

"Uh, what's that, babe?" Taehyung asked.

"Oh, it's, um, where..." How am I going to explain this?

"It's where...people have a gender identity or gender expression that differs from the sex that they were assigned at birth... you know?"

"Oh, I know now," Taehyung raises an eyebrow. "You're trans. It's a rare case."

"And... And... OH GODDAMMIT, WHY IS THIS SO HARD?!" Hoseok shouted in frustration. "UGH!"

"Awww, you're so cute when you curse~"

"KIM TAEHYUNG THAT'S NOT HELPING!"

"Awww," Taehyung coos. "I'm not mad at you, in fact, I get it now. I get why you freak out whenever we almost have sex, I get why you didn't tell me yet. It's a rare case. I just wish that you told me at the dinner. But when did you find out?"

"When I was 13. It's embarrassing," Hoseok mumbles. "And in front of your younger siblings, too? I was just waiting for the right moment."

"Eh... you have a point. Mom would kill me for being a bad influence to them," Taehyung agrees. "But do you... get the... monthly?"

Hoseok blinked and scrunched up his nose.

And slowly he nodded his head. "That's kinda how I found out that I was trans."

"Oof," Taehyung muttered.

"Don't 'oof' me, Taehyung!" Hoseok whined. "Not that you know, what do you think of me now...?"

"Hoseok," Taehyung began, holding the elder's hand and stroked the soft palm."I told you, I understand everything. Remember that promise we made about weird secrets?"

"We have a lot of promises together-"

"Hobi," the younger boy grabbed the older boy's face and squeezed his cheeks in his hands. "'No matter how weird the secret is, we'll accept each other because the person with the weird secret is still the same person we know'. So I'll love you no matter what, okay? You're not weird or anything. Repeat after me."

"I'm... not... weird... or... anything..." Hoseok whispered, his face still scrunched up in Taehyung's large hands.

"Good boy," the younger said, releasing his grip on Hoseok's face and kissing his squishy cheeks.

(Next day, January 7, 2020)

Hoseok, Taehyung, Seokjin, Jimin, and Jungkook are hanging out in Starbucks, talking about the wedding.

"Now have y'all decided when?!" Seokjin asked impatiently.

"Drumroll please," Taehyung says. Jungkook drums his fingers on the table.

"It's a spring wedding," Hoseok answered. Seokjin and Jimin cheer.

And then Jungkook gets a call.
