"Hyung!" A voice exclaimed from behind the pair. They had taken a seat at one of the round tables, Naileah and Namjoon had joined them as they discussed their favourite books. Hoseok's, of course, was his own father's.
"Hmm?" Both Hoseok and Namjoon turned to the familiar voice.
"I forgot to give you this," Jungkook slid into the seat right next to Hoseok, putting a small box in his hand, "I made it for you two, so you better use it."
Without a further word, he hopped out of the chair and was gone.
Raising an eyebrow at the younger boy's back as he walked away, Hoseok opened the box and looked inside.
"What is it?" Chris inquired, attempting to look over his shoulder.
"I don't... know..." his voice trailed off as he took in the items inside the box. Because that was a lie, he definitely knew what they were.
Blinking down at them, he slowly looked up at Chris.
Furrowing her eyebrows, she observed him. And if she had looked away for even a second, she would have missed the way his cheeks suddenly dusted like pink chrysanthemum.
"Hoseok?"
"Uhm," he cleared his throat, spinning around to face her, "I think this is for us."
Confused, she looked inside, and a grin immediately found itself on her face.
Inside the box was a beautifully crafted marigold corsage, coupled with a boutonniere of the same arrangement.
Heaving a small breath, Hoseok held his hand out for her, "May I?"
Chris bit her bottom lip, willing her heart to calm down as she took his hand.
With his free hand, Hoseok pulled the corsage out and slowly slipped it onto her wrist. Without missing a breath, Chris took the boutonniere as well, shifting closer to him as she clipped it onto his blazer.
Once again, the hall went silent as she lifted her gaze to find him watching her. Neither one of them seemed to be fazed by the fact that their breaths mingled together because of the little distance between them, their eyes finding home in each other.
In those moments, Chris had forgotten all that happened; she had forgotten how much she loathed herself and how much she wished she could change the past for her actions.
In those moments, Chris wanted to tell him so badly that she loved him. She wanted to let him know that he was all she needed.
But she held her tongue.
Hoseok finally moved, settling back in his seat properly before a thump on the other end of the table made them snap their eyes away.
"Uh-" Namjoon let out awkwardly, "I'm going to see if the boys need help."
