Jungkook's POV

The family sat around the dining table tying small silver ribbons into cute bows on the three hundred pastel pink invitations for the wedding.

"Boys, if you want you can bring two friends with you." My mom said.

"Jungkook, you can bring your girlfriend if you want." Hyunsoo told me.

"Actually, I'm g-"

"Going to bring his best friends." My mom cut in.

"Mom, can I talk to you for a sec?" I asked and she sighed.

"We'll be right back." She said to Taehyung and Hyunsoo before following me to the kitchen.

"What was that about?" I asked her, making sure to whisper in case our voices echoed.

"What do you mean?" She asked.

"He doesn't know I'm gay, does he?"

"N-not exactly." She chuckled nervously.

"Mom, why?" I sighed.

"He's just not ready to hear it." She said.

"I-is it that you're ashamed of me?" I asked, which kind of hurt.

I remember when I first told her and she told me she already knew and was just waiting for me to be honest. Then she hugged me and told me she loved me no matter what.

"Honey, you know that's not true." She said, hitting my arm.

"Then tell me why he can't know." I said and she looked down.

"Look, his ex wife cheated on him with a woman for years before he found out, he isn't ready yet, okay?" She said and I sighed.

I wasn't going to stop her from being happy so I just agreed with her.

"Okay, I won't tell him anything until long after the wedding."

"Come on, don't look so sad." She said. "Tomorrow we get to taste the cake samples."

—

"Cake's here!" Hyunsoo shouted from downstairs and Taehyung and I rushed down to see a table full of different flavored slices of cake.

"Okay, we got chocolate, double chocolate, chocolate mocha, double chocolate mocha, dark chocolate, white chocolate, red velvet vanilla, vanilla chocolate swirl, strawberry, strawberry chocolate swirl, strawberry vanilla swirl, strawberry chocolate vanilla swirl, strawberry cheesecake, Oreo cheesecake and blueberry cheesecake." Hyunsoo said after taking a deep breath.

Taehyung and I immediately dug in without thinking about which one we were eating.

"We have to go sort out the venue and decorations, please don't tear down the house." My mom said before leaving with Hyunsoo again.

"Bunny." Tae said tapping me with his elbow because we both had cake all over our hands.

"Taste this one." He said feeding me a piece of blueberry cheesecake. "Like it?" He asked and I quickly nodded.

We both agreed it was the best one and both wiping our faces,which were covered with cake, with a napkin.

"Can I ask you something?" I asked Tae.

"Yeah, what's up?" He asked wiping off the icing off the table.

"How'd your dad react if I brought a date to the wedding?" I asked him and his eyes instantly moved to me, giving me his full attention.

"Um, y-you have a boyfriend?" He asked, eyebrows furrowed and I shook my head. Soon a light smile formed on his face.

"I guess I have a crush, but he doesn't see me like that."

"Come on, who wouldn't like you?" He chuckled.

You.

"I'm more like his brother." I sighed. "But back on topic, would your dad mind if I were to bring a guy with me as a date?" I asked and he hesitated before answering.

"I don't know." He said avoiding eye contact. He was clearly lying to me. "But you should do whatever you want."

—12 midnight—

"Bunny, you up?" I heard Taehyung asked and I turned to him. I flinched when I realized how close our faces were, but I could barely see because the lights were off.

"Yeah, why?" I said.

"I need to talk to you." He said and we both sat up.

"About what?" I asked.

"When did you find out you were gay?" He asked.

"When I was 12 and I realized I just didn't find girls attractive. Why are you asking?"

"Because I..."  He stopped, taking a deep breath. "Can I be honest with you?"

"Yeah, you can tell me anything." I said really worried at this point.

"Bunny, I think I'm gay."
