Mikrokosmos. (A BTS Romance Fanfic)

Chapter 3: Fireworks

[Yoongi]

So it's been 2 days since I asked Mae if she has a boyfriend. I still don't understand why the fuck I did that but I'm having fun talking to her on instagram.

"We just finished recording our comeback. It's been years since we had one as a group since Jungkook just finished his military enlistment last 3 months. It's good to record again as a group"

Message sent.

"I'm excited to hear it. I'm sure a lot of ARMY are also waiting." She replied.

"I'm worried about you, hyung"

I quickly hid my phone when I heard Jimin say that behind my back.

"What are you saying" I pushed him back.
"You've been using your phone nonstop. Are you still writing some songs, huh? Are you doing some drafts on your phone? Let me see it".

He tried to get my phone from me but he knows not to mess with me when I glared at him.

"Aigoo, it's a joke. Come on, we need to go home now." He said.
"I'll be right after you."

I pulled up my phone again so I can message Mae.

"By the way, will you be staying here in Seoul for good?" I sent.

She always answers quickly. I like that about her.

"No, Isabelle and I will be going back to Manila the day after tomorrow."

What?!

"What? Why didn't you tell me earlier?"
"Well, you didn't ask" she answered.

No shit.

"Anyway, where are you staying now? Can I visit you tomorrow?"

Wow. Why did I ask that?
Why would I visit her?
What the hell where you thinking, Min Yoongi.

This will make me go crazy why am I arguing with myself.

"At Isabelle's house. She said you can visit tomorrow. I'll ask for the address"

Well, I guess I have to think of an excuse to tell the other members where I'm going tomorrow then.

[Isabelle]

"I really am starting to think that he likes you" I teased Mae.
"Shut up. He might just want to ask some questions about art. Let's give him the benefit of the doubt"
"Talk about art, huh? Who the hell does that anyway?"

I was about to tease her again because it is clear that Yoongi likes her. I mean, why would he want to pay us a visit tomorrow then? I bet he doesn't want to see me and only want to be here because of Mae.
But my teasing was abruptly disturbed because of the notification sound on my phone.

It's an instagram dm from Taehyung.

Oh my God. I'm so lucky to be alive in the time where BTS is already free to have their own social media accounts. Miracles do exists.

"Hey, Isabelle. I know it's late but since you told me that you will be going back to Manila soon, can we meet tomorrow? I'll pick you up just give me your address. I need some workshop from you before you go. I'll pay if I need to. Looking forward to it!"

"Oh God" I whispered.
"Why? What's wrong?" Mae asked as she run towards me.
"Taehyung is asking if we can meet tomorrow"

We both looked at each other shocked. But her expression quickly changed and she showed her devil smile to me.

"I'm starting to think that he likes you" she teased.
"Stop copying me. He said he want to have a workshop with me. He just wants to learn photography. I shouldn't think too much about it"
"Eyyy, you said so earlier. Who the hell talks about art anyway?"

I swear if she wasn't my bestfriend, I could've strangled her.

"Whatever. I'll teach him. I might not be able to get a chance like this again you know" I argued.
"What? But Yoongi is coming over tomorrow. I need you here"
"I'm pretty sure Yoongi will appreciate it more if I am not around." I said.
"What do you mean? Stop it!"

I was making weird faces to tease her so she covered my face.

"Whatever. I need to go to sleep now. Good night!" I said before I ran to my room.

[Taehyung]

I immediately went to Isabelle's house when our meeting about our schedule was done. I was glad that Namjoon hyung got my back when I told him that I really wanted to learn from her.

"So, where are we going? Where do you want to have our photo walk?" Isabelle asked.
"A beach" I smiled.
"A beach, huh? Sure" she grabbed her bag and fixed her camera.

I know I really wanted to see her doing photography in action and I'm really excited to spend some time with her before she goes back to Manila but I want to know if she is as excited or happy as I am.

"Are you sure it's okay for me take you out today? You might have some plans with Mae." I asked.
"Nah. We always spend time together anyway. Plus, we will go back here on August and probably stay here for good"
"Really?"
She nodded. "My family is here and they want me to get a job here instead. Mae has been offered to teach at a university. She has been trying to get a visa since the start of the year so she might stay here for good also"
"I'm happy to hear that" I smiled.
"You are?" She looked at me.
"I cannot hang out with you if you're not here."

She just smiled and looked outside. I don't know if I saw her blush or it was just hot so her cheeks were flustered.

But it's true. I was never a fan of long distant relationship--- I mean friendship. So I was glad to hear that she'll be staying here for good.

After half an hour, we arrived at our destination. It was almost sunset so after I parked the car, we immediately went for a photowalk.

It's nice being with her. She'a good at teaching and she always corrects me if I did something wrong. She also told me some tips like always having a foreground so the viewers of my picture will feel like they are at the scene with me, like a first person pov.

Not long enough, the sunset arrived so we decided to take a rest and watch it. She was still taking some photos as she stands infront of me so I captured a photo of her. It was her silhouette in the middle of the sunset. A simple photo that will remind me that I spent this afternoon with her.

"Fireworks! Taehyung look!" Isabelle shouted as soon as she saw the fireworks in the sky.

I walked towards her and stood beside her as we watch the fireworks together. She is smiling so big and her eyes are sparkling together with the lights the fireworks are making.

She turned her head to me, smiling. The fireworks are so loud so even though she said something, I wasn't able to hear her.

And as soon as she turned her head again to watch the fireworks, I whispered----

"I like you."
