Taehyung

Taehyung woke up from his sweet dream whilst stretching his arms and back. He was sure he wouldn't get to sleep well yesterday because of his mother, but with Jungkook by his side, he slept like a baby.

He glanced to the side to view the sleeping male beside him. He couldn't stop smiling as he looked at him, and then he thought back to the dream - the dream where the younger had confessed to him. He felt happiness. He felt his heart skipping in joy. How he wished that was true.

"Hyung?" the younger grumbled as he was slowly waking up, trying to look up at the elder with his sleepy eyes.

The sight made Taehyung giggle. "You look cute when you wake up," he said, though he caught both of them by surprise; he hadn't meant to say that out loud.

"Thanks, hyung," Jungkook giggled as well, slightly blushing as he sat up in bed, matching his height with the other. "Did you sleep well?"

Taehyung nodded. "I did, actually," he said honestly.

"That's good," Jungkook whispered soothingly as he leaned his head on his shoulder. "I did too."

"Thanks for staying with me," Taehyung whispered back, though he didn't know why they were suddenly whispering - it was relaxing though. He didn't want to raise his voice. Not now.

"Any time, hyung."

They stayed like that for a moment until they both agreed to eat some breakfast, which Taehyung decided to make. 

After having breakfast, Taehyung got silent and was staring at the wall for some time which Jungkook noticed. "Hyung, is there something wrong?" he worriedly asked him.

"I have always been close to my mom the most... And I - " Before Taehyung was even able to continue, he began tearing up and eventually was crying softly.

Jungkook hurriedly sat beside the other and started to caress his back in hopes of easing his pain.

The elder inhaled loudly to catch his breath. "I still can't believe that happened, you know... It's like I'm in a nightmare but having you beside me is like a dream too," Taehyung managed to tell the other albeit through his growing sobs.

Jungkook kept quiet and simply continued to comfort the other and waited patiently for Taehyung to continue speaking.

"It's just - my mom, she wasn't the perfect mom, but she had always been there for me and supported me in every step. I thought everything was going fine after I took over our café and that life wouls start to finally become what I always wanted. I wanted my mom to witness me growing up and see her proud smile as she'd continue to watch over me. It's ha - I can't." Taehyung wanted to vent out more, but his tears started to drown him and prevented him from speaking any further. 

"Hyung, I haven't been able to meet your mom more than that one time, but if I could, I'd tell her that I'm so grateful to have known you. But I also know she's proud of you. Not just of what you've achieved, but as to who you've grown to be. You're compassionate, kind, loving, patient, understanding, every compliment suits you really. She will always stay beside you and watch over you still in every venture of yours," Jungkook softly muttered to Taehyung who now resorted to hugging Jungkook tightly as he wept and let out his frustrations. 

Jungkook became silent again and purely hugged the other and waited for him for as long as he needed. After a while, Taehyung's sobs became softer and he slowly stopped hugging the other as he wiped his tears. "Hey, Jungkook?" he softly asked whilst staring at the other.

"Hmm?" 

Taehyung grabbed Jungkook's hand and softly caressed it with his thumb before continuing, "it hasn't been long since we met and so we didn't get to know each other that much. But you've seen me at my most vulnerable and I am undeniably thankful that you were there with me. You always bring so much joy and excitement to my days and if you are feeling the same..." He paused for a moment and there was this silence between them. Both of them didn't feel awkward about it though, instead, they had a feeling of anticipation and nervousness.

"I would like to know you better, and for you to know more about me. Not just as rivals or as friends, but I hope you'd want to spend more time together as each other's special." Taehyung stood up, pulling Jungkook with him - they stood facing each other with little distance between them.

"Jungkook, hello there. I'm Kim Taehyung and from this day onwards, I would like to proudly proclaim to the world that I'm your boyfriend," he soothingly said with a soft smile on his face.

Jungkook felt his cheeks warming up and his heart was going crazy as he felt the other's soft breath. "Hello Taehyungie hyung! I'm Jeon Jungkook, also known as Taehyung's boyfriend," Jungkook cheekily replied back.

They were staring at each other, seeing their reflection on the other's eyes. With the biggest grins on their faces, they both showed their love to each other, "I really love you, Jungkookie."

"And I love you all the same and will forever will."

They both sounded cliché and seemed to be proclaiming their vows, but they liked it that way; the love between them, albeit it hasn't developed long, had become a sentiment neither could characterise in words. What they did know was that they felt secure with one another being each other's companion, best friend, lover, and cuddle buddy for when they needed it the most. To be in their own world, only with the two of them, everything was perfect. 

The end.
