"Say it, darling."

Taehyung didn't know why but the word 'darling' did something to him and he loved hearing the other calling him that specific word, it felt celestial.

Taehyung turned around and smiled at him before looking down at their feet as he rested his palms on the other's shoulder. Jeongguk on the other hand, firmly held onto his petit waist and whispered, "Say it before I pass out."

Taehyung couldn't just stop smiling and playfully rolled his eyes at the blond. He didn't say anything as he was too confused on how to start and what words would be right for the moment.

So, he just decided to show instead and y'know actions speak louder than words. Yeah, Taehyung just did what he had to.

He threw the books in his hands on the bed and leaned forward.

And as they both were almost of the same height, he didn't have to lean down or forward. Simply he went closer and pressed their lips together.

Jeongguk was dreaming, nah he was not but he felt all these to be too good to be true.

Instantly shutting his eyes close, he stayed there feeling the other's lips on his own. Oh Lord, this was actually happening and still it felt so unreal.

First kiss and they didn't rush.

None of them. They stayed their pressing their lips together, eyes closed and with crazy heartbeats.

Never in their wildest dreams, they thought this moment was ever possible. Once enemies to friends and then what?

Lovers? Well surely the word lover is a big one and doesn't apply to the right now but oh well you get the gist.

Serenity— the feeling of being calm, peaceful and untroubled. That was how they would describe this seconds with each other.

Taehyung was the one to pull away only to give another quick peck, giggling right after that warmed the younger's heart.

"You got your answer, didn't you?" he whispered.

"I did, but tell me once again with that pretty mouth of yours, this seems unbelievable. What if I am dreaming?" Jeongguk tightened his grip on the waist he was holding, pulling him closer if that was practically possible because they were literally just millimetres apart.

"Yes, Jeon Jeongguk. Let's try this. Make me fall in love with you."

Jeongguk smiled, ruffling the older's brown hair making it messy more than it already was and left a kiss on his forehead.

Yeah, he wanted to kiss more and not just stand there with their lips together. He wanted more but he didn't do that. No reasons to be exact, just didn't know if it was the right time.

But if he knew Taehyung wanted the same, he wouldn't be questioning himself that.

"I will then leave now, see you later eh?" the older one asked getting his books back and Jeongguk nodded, awkwardly scratching the back of his neck.

"Uh so uhm," he started but didn't know how to proceed and as a result just shut up.

"What?" Taehyung laughed.

"Nothing. Lemme just walk you to your room," the other smiled and he nodded, agreeing.

Silence again ate them up and the boys kept walking without saying a word even though they had so much to say and so much to express. Well, both of them were bad at all these things.

It took them two to three minutes to get to Taehyung's and Jimin's shared room and he opened the room revealing the cotton candy haired boy sitting on his bed with his phone.

"Namjoonie left?" Jeongguk asked seeing it was only him.

"Yeah just left five minutes ago." Jimin looked up from his phone hitting that home button and let the device fall on the mattress.

"Did y'all study well?" the extra emphasis on the second last word was on purpose and the his best friend just glared at him.

"We did!"

"Yeah yeah sure then why are you both looking so awkward?" Jimin noticed that and Taehyung wouldn't just stop glaring at him. He surely is getting an earful after Jeongguk leaves.

"Tae, I will leave then." Jeongguk ignored the one sitting on the bed as he wriggled his brows at them, a smirk appearing soon after.

Taehyung hummed hugging his boyfriend? Yeah whatever Jeongguk was.

The hug was short lived and they pulled away some seconds after however when Jeongguk cupped his cheeks and Taehyung what's coming up, he closed his eyes.

Jeongguk did what he wanted to and Taehyung got what he wished for.

He kissed him, no they didn't just stay there with their lips pressed against each other's. It was a y'know real kiss. Yeah that.

"Ah shit, I would like to go blind," Jimin murmured under his breath looking away as he didn't want to see his best friend making out with someone even though they were cute together.

Peeking from under his lashes, the cotton candy haired boy saw his childhood friend's palms running up to grab Jeongguk's shoulders and hold onto them as they kissed.

The younger's thumb slowly rubbed the other's rosy cheeks before he pulled away. Leaving another last peck, he took a step back and smiled.

With flushed cheeks, Taehyung looked down feeling the intense stare Jimin was keeping him under. Why did they do it in front of Jimin? Now it will be his only topic to talk about the whole week.

"See you tomorrow," Jeongguk ruffled the older's hair before flashing one last smile as he walked out of the room after Taehyung nodded.

"So, you said yes to him." Jimin asked the moment the door closed behind Jeongguk.

"I mean I do like him so we can try and y'know he once said that the one he will date will be so special, he said they will be the most beautiful both inside out and now he asked me out, I am special for him, Jimin." remember what Jeongguk said to him when they were still rivals and couldn't help smiling to himself realising how far they have made and how the special one was him.

"Awh, that's so cute," Jimin cooed, moving aside making space for the other to sit.

"But whatever it is, I have to bleach my eyes. Like you didn't have to do that in front of me,"

"We just kissed, what the hell! It's not like we fucked in front of you," Taehyung rolled his eyes and Jimin laughed, "I highly doubt that day is coming because I know how much of a horny motherfucker you are."

"What? No?"

"Please I can hear your 'bathroom noises' and that's almost everyday—" Jimin pointed out causing Taehyung's illusion to fade away thinking he wasn't that loud.

"Not everyday, maybe once a week. It's normal?" Taehyung tried to defend himself but that just didn't make anything better as Jimin just shrugged his shoulders and rolled his eyes, "Whatever."

"Okay but tell me what happened there today. Tell your bro everything!"

★

A brand new day.

Jeongguk never was this excited to get to class or even study but the thing was that he wanted to meet his special one and can't wait to see him. So he was running to class today.

Usually the boy who always shows up late with no lectures as he was the mage plus headmaster's son was rushing through the cold air, passing by the students with a stupid grin on his lips.

He reached the classroom and as expected saw Taehyung already there but today, there was empty space beside him as Jimin was sitting on the bench behind with Namjoon.

"Well that's weird," the blond murmured to himself and walked to them while panting as he tried catching his breath.

"Hey guys," Jeongguk greeted, slowly skipping the benches and quickly sat beside the brunet who smiled at him and greeted back, facing the back to see the others as well.

"Helooo."

Taehyung was the cutest and Jeongguk just realized that for the hundredth time now.

"So, heard you and Taehyung are dating," Namjoon asked and both of them nodded.

"Yeah, I guess. I mean probably we are, aren't we?" Jeongguk nudged the other with his elbow earning a small smile while he mumbled, "Yeah."

"Belfort surely didn't expect this like you two together was the last thing possible." Jackson said Hoseok beside hummed in response.

"But man, really happy for you."

The classes started just after like five minutes when the professor came in and clapped his hands asking for all the students to get their books out.

They now sat properly and got their books out and Jeongguk just slid closer the other, "Would you like to come over at my room for some movies tonight?"

"I would love to," Taehyung whispered but then sighed, " but I can't today."

"Are you busy with something?"

"Yeah, mom's gonna pick me and Jennie up after classes. Dad wanted to see us but I know why, he will give me lectures on I should stay away from you and stop helping you and shit," Taehyung paused for a moment, and widened his eyes.

"Please what if he finds out about us? He will bury me alive but maybe worth it;" Taehyung rested his chin on the cusp of his palm before looking into the other's eyes, smiling.

"Hey, you understand if I don't want to tell my dad about this right now like I know he will hear about it but I will deny it for now. When right time comes, I will tell him, is it okay with you?"

"Uh yeah, it's fine."
