Swan~ TaeJin ~

°

Seokjin rolled his eyes when he saw Taehyung and Seojoon kissing. He couldn't fight the disgusting fire burning his chest. He really didn't mean to feel like that. He even didn't like to feel like that. He just hated the scene, he hated his eyes and he hated everything. He turned his gaze toward others who were getting ready. It was finally a chance for them to shine. Seokjin knew they will win the contest. He was sure of it. He could see potential and talent fueling in one by one of them. They practised so much for this and now they were just hours away to get what they deserved. Seokjin looked back to Taehyung and Seojoon again. He knew they were nervous and they needed comfort, still, his heart was ripping apart.

"Mr.Kim it's better to get you to your place. It's not good to be seen in the backstage" his manager said. Seokjin nodded slowly.

"Wait a moment" he muttered slowly. He turned to the boys. First, he approached Yoongi. He squeezed the younger boy's shoulder.

"You'll join me in the viewer's area, right?" Seokjin asked. He got respond only with a nod.

"I'll see you two soon, then," he said while looking to Namjoon and Yoongi. They nodded. Seokjin turned to others, he hugged them one by one and wished them good luck. The last he hugged Taehyung who was closer to the exit door. Seokjin was hesitant. His hands doubting to reach out or not. He wrapped his hands around the younger boy's small frame. He felt Taehyung's hands wrapping his neck. He felt Taehyung's deep inhales in the crook of his neck.

"Don't be nervous. I'm sure you'll be successful." Seokjin said. He felt a tingling ticklish feeling around his neck. Taehyung's breath was warm and shakey.

"I'm afraid, Hyung," Taehyung whispered with a low voice in Seokjin's ear.

"Don't be, you worked hard and I know you'll get this contest" Seokjin whispered in Taehyung's hair.

"Thank you, Hyung. It's all because of you. We couldn't do anything without you" Taehyung said.

"Shhh... Don't say that. You're so good to be true." Seokjin said. Taehyung tilted his head and locked his eyes with Seokjin's. Seokjin could feel his heart beating a thud faster. He felt his heart drop. Taehyung's eyes were so beautiful, so unreal, so surreal. 

"Mon rêve" Seokjin whispered. Taehyung looked confused.

"What that means?" Taehyung asked with a small boxy smile. Seokjin planted a kiss on Taehyung's forehead.

"Maybe I'll tell you one day, don't search the meaning though" Seokjin winked before letting go of Taehyung and walking out.
He took his reserved VIP seat. He wasn't a normal person after all. He watched other dance groups and he almost wanted to cry how he envied one by one of them. Even the amateur dancer was luckier than Seokjin. He was brave not coward as Seokjin. He massaged his temples and closed his eyes. He felt a hand on his shoulder. He looked up, it was Namjoon.

"Hey bro, you good?" Namjoon asked. He sat while holding Seokjin's hand. Seokjin only nodded.

"Nervous I guess," Seokjin said curtly. He didn't want to have the same conversation. He didn't want Namjoon encouraging him maybe he should try dancing one more time. Namjoon didn't know the truth, he didn't know Seokjin never let dance go. He just hid it. Hid it in the third room of the second floor of his luxurious penthouse. He looked up when he noticed the silence. It was their time, his eyes willing to see them. His body aching to dance with them. Their dance concept was Swan. Seokjin has seen many times their dance and choreography. But here, under the dim lighting. With their clothes all white, except Jimin's. He was black Swan, while the rest were white Swans. This scene was so ethereal for Seokjin. It was mesmerizing. Their beautiful, swan-like moves. The curves of bodies showing off beautifully with fragility. Seokjin's eyes lingered on a White Swan. From this distance between them. Seokjin could feel the Swan's eyes lingered on him as well. Watching Seokjin while Seokjin watching him. 'Mon rêve' Seokjin mumbled. Taehyung was so so unreal that Seokjin felt like he was a dream. A dream full of strawberry scent and a Pulchritudinous Taehyung. Seokjin knew his eyes must be watching the center of the stage but his eyes were only on Taehyung, wherever he was. His eyes were like a thirsty dog and Taehyung was limpid lucid water. Music stopped. Their eye contact never interrupted. Taehyung smiled beautifully at Seokjin before Seojoon hugged him. That was when Seokjin remembered he is in a life he has to be alone. Taehyung! He was forbidden for Seokjin. He couldn't think about it. He should never think about Taehyung and his boxy smile and his eyes holding the universe. He must never think about the strawberry scent ever again. Not even strawberry cakes or anything related to strawberry. When cheers finished the dancers ran to where They were sitting. All of them hugged each other. All of them and deeply. Seokjin never hugged Taehyung!
They all settled down when MC announced the next group, which was also last. They watched and observed. Seokjin had seen all the dance groups and he could definitely say their group was the bestest. The delicacy and elaboration their group had no other included in their dance.
Indeed, Seokjin was right. They won. It was the most beautiful night for Seokjin. The cheers and happiness swelling in dancers, Yoongi and even Namjoon. Seokjin was overwhelmed and blessed. He didn't stop himself from hugging Taehyung when he saw the boy's lovely eyes filled with tears. It was glassy and damn it how Seokjin found them beautiful. How he wanted to kiss those eyes. Where was Seojoon? Why he wasn't snatching Taehyung from Seokjin's embrace?

"Thank you, Hyung... Thank you so much...." Taehyung chanted. Seokjin kissed Taehyung's hair and smelled the strawberry scent mixed with a heated sweat smell.

"I said, I didn't do anything. It's you... You're the one that received what you deserved." Seokjin said. he drew circles on Taehyung's back. He loved the sensation of his shirt being clutched by Taehyung's long fingers.
He felt suddenly a pair of third hands hugging him and Taehyung. Both looked up to see it was Jungkook.

"Let's celebrate Hyungs" Jungkook cheered with his bunny laugh showing off his beautiful bunny teeth.

"You're the oldest, so we must celebrate this in your place," Yoongi said, his gummy smile so cute that Seokjin can't say no.
