Before You Go • VHOPE [On Hold]

Chapter 15: Sunrise

The morning was about to descend, Taehyung insisted on staying a bit longer just so he could see the sunrise with Hoseok.

Though, Hoseok felt drowsy and sleep-deprived, he decided to agree to this one request. And as they stared at the horizon together, noticing how the sky was turning lighter and lighter. The Twilight sky looking ever so beautiful with it's soft pink glow, only to soon let the sun's glow infiltrate the grey sky.

Hoseok felt captivated, so he didn't notice when their hands brushed and Taehyung slowly held onto his cold hand, intertwining their fingers together. Hoseok blushed a little, resolving to not even for once look towards Taehyung.

"Pretty." He heard Taehyung's words.

"Yeah. It looks beautiful.." Hoseok agreed.

"I meant, you."

Hoseok turned his eyes to Taehyung, noticing that he was already looking back at him with a small smile. He only started to blush and quickly averted his gaze. He then heard the soft chuckle of Taehyung, feeling as if he was drowning in his own embarrassment.

When you're sleep deprived, you become kind of drunk. At other times, maybe Hoseok would have had a witty reply, but right now, he felt delicate and vulnerable.

Both silently watched the sunrise. Hoseok bid Yoongi goodbye, their conversation though a little awkward, but Yoongi assured it's all okay.

Taehyung drove him back home and as they stood infront of the door, Taehyung was about to slyly leave when Hoseok quickly grasped onto his shirt.

"Where do you think you are going?!"

"Uh.. back to my place.."

"Oh, after abducting me from mine? What am I going to tell me dad? That I jumped down from the balcony, went on a road-trip to another town in just my pyjamas and jacket?"

"But that's what happened," Taehyung furrowed his eyebrows playfully before giggling, "Except that you left from this door right here, you don't have that much of guts afterall to jump from the balcony."

"Says the one who plotted to make his exit from this very door. I'm pretty sure you never meant to climb back down anyway. Wait— why am I even talking about this?! You're going to ring that doorbell and explain everything to him!"

Taehyung raised his eyebrows, "And hamper my chances of being the son-in-law? Hell no!"

Hoseok blushed furiously, stammering,"What the hell are you talking about? Ar-Are you crazy? Did you leave your brain back at the beach? Idiot!"

Taehyung laughed softly and ruffled his hair. "Fine. I'll take the risk." He said and started to walk towards the door and about to click the doorbell when Hoseok suddenly and abruptly stopped him by his arm, "Wait!" His eyes wide, anxiety all over his face.

He remembered what he did that night wasn't what he should have ideally done. It might only worry his father more. It's more better to just pretend like he never left his room.

"Don't ring it. You don't have to explain anything to him."

"What do you mean? You just asked me to–"

"I changed my mind." He said sternly and took a few steps back before staring at his room upstairs and the balcony infront.

Taehyung followed his eyes and grinned back at him, "What are you thinking?" He said with a smirk.

"I'm going to climb up."

Taehyung raised his brows, "Are you sure?" He laughed, "It's a pain, to be honest."
