^my ideal cindrella Story

__________

The blonde walked into the cafeteria of the college with his best friend Park Jimin. A boy who had always been with Taehyung through his highs and lows. Though Jimin was a son of a rich businessman but he was extremely sweet and kind hearted so when a group of rich kids were bullying the boy in his high school, Jimin had rescued him and since then, both of them had been inseparable.

The blonde got admission in the same University as Jimin on scholarship making their bond even more strong.

Park Jimin was a short heighted, cute boy with small brown eyes and silver hairs. He was very protective over Taehyung since the starting, in fact, he was so protective for the blonde that even Taehyung used to fear. He would try to hide if someone had bullied him because he knew that Jimin will break his bully's bones.

Both the boys walked to their usual table. The girls in the hall checked the silver haired out with hungry eyes but he didn't care. His Junior stand up only for a man.

On the other hand, None of them found Taehyung worthy enough to spare a glance at him. To be honest, all the girls were jealous of him as he got the beauty which no girl had while boys, they only saw the baggy clothes and a nerdy attitude in the blonde. Everyone ignored the boy as if his existence didn't even matter.

But did Taehyung cared?

Yes, he did.

In the beginning.

It would hurt him like hell when people would ignore him or bully him. He couldn't understand why people don't find him good enough to be friends with him. Wasn't he a human?

But things changed gradually. He found Jimin and the boy was enough to keep Taehyung happy. Having a friend like Park Jimin was truely a blessing for the blonde. The silver haired boy cared for him like an elder brother. He was fun loving, he was caring and more than that, he was understanding.

Now, no one matter for Taehyung except his loved ones. He don't care if people hate him or judge him anymore. He had accepted the reality that he was meant to be alone and suffer in this world so whatever happen around him, he choose to ignore it.

"Tae.....what will you have?" Jimin asked as the blonde sat down on his usual seat.

"Nothing, Chim...I am fine." The answer Jimin get everytime he ask Taehyung what he wants so Jimin also did what he does everytime.

He came back after fiver minutes with two burgers and soft drink for himself while a strawberry smoothie for his best friend whose eyes widen again.

Nothing new.

"Chim...why you bought this again?" He asked narrowly.

"Coz I can't eat alone. I need a companion." A sharp reply from his bestie and the blonde smiled. He knew he can never win against Park Jimin.

"So....how are things going?" The silver haired boy asked after a few moments making the blonde look at him as he sipped on the smoothie through the straw.

"Everything is fine." The blonde replied shortly, his heart doing a flip as he got reminded of his husband.

"Is your husband treating you good?" Jimin asked again making the blonde gasp. Looking around to check if someone heard him, Taehyung glared at Jimin.

"Can't you speak slowly for once, Chim?"

"What? You just married. It isn't a crime, you know!!" The silver haired boy asked in a duh tone. Taehyung rolled his eyes before taking a deep breathe.

"Yeah...I mean, they already judge me. I don't know what will everyone think if they came to know i married at such an young age." He replied hesitantly.

"Oh C'mon Tae...its your life so you got to decide at which age you would marry and moreover, it was your grandmother's last wish. I don't see anything offending or suspicious here." Jimin replied as a matter of factly.

"I know but still-"

"You think a lot, Tae....." The silver haired boy said taking a big bite from his burger.

"Hmm...may be."

"So, when are you inviting me to your new home? I also wanna meet my bestie's husband." Jimin asked making the blonde bite on his lower lip nervously.

"You remember, I told you that he wasn't ready for this marriage ...things are kind of....you know, off between us. He is a very nice human, actually....he is giving me time to adjust. We haven't even seen each other before this marriage and suddenly,things got so complex. He a-also need some time. We are trying to know each other." Taehyung lied making the silver haired boy look at him examiningly before nodding.

"Yeah...I can understand. Things like that are normal in an arranged marriage. Both of you may need some time. Its totally fine." Jimin replied smiling. The blonde took a breathe of releif. He didn't want his best friend to think something Wrong about his husband.

"What do you think about this wedding?" Jimin asked suddenly,taking the blonde by surprise.

"Me?....I am h-happy." He replied shortly, eyes not meeting his bestie's.

"And your husband?"

"W-What about him?"

"What do you think about him?"

Taehyung licked his lips as the blood roared in his ears. The wild butterflies again swirling up his belly.

"I told you h-he is a nice human."

"How is he as a husband, that's what i meant,Tae?" Jimin asked annoyed. He had been noticing it since whole month. Whenever he ask the blonde about his husband, Taehyung would try to cut short the conversation.

"We share nothing what husbands do, Chim...." The blonde finally decide to share what he has kept hidden from his best friend till now making Jimin nod understandingly.

"You know in what circumstances we married. We know nothing about each other. Its like two strangers living under the same roof...." Taehyung continued, eyes glued to the smoothie he stirred with the straw.

"I don't know what he think about me. We talk rarely. Most of the time, its only me trying to strike a conversation but it ends as soon as it starts. But I am not blaming him...I think its n-natural. He need time to adjust. I am only waiting." The blonde completed smiling weakly.

"And you? What you feel about him?" Jimin asked encouragingly. He can't let his best friend deal with everything alone.

"I d-don't know, Chim. I am confused. He makes me happy without doing anything. I really don't expect anything from him but when he does something for me, it makes me feel weird...not in a bad way. I want to see him smile. I wanna do his chores for him. I like waiting for him in the evening so that we can have dinner together. I-I like being around him. Its confusing. I don't know what it is but its drowning me towards him. I feel attraction towards him....." Taehyung finished weakly only to see Jimin looking at him blankly.

The blonde licked his lips nervously and shifted in his seat.

"I know am acting like some stupi-"

"You are not, Tae." Jimin cut him in the middle making the boy look at his best friend blankly.

"When we live with someone, we naturally start liking them and in your case, he is just not anybody. He is your husband, Tae...of course you will feel like that. Everyone dream of having someone who love you, who can make you feel special, who can protect you, embrace you when you need it and when you are married, you start looking for that in your life patner. I totally understand you, Tae. Your attraction towards your husband is totally justified." Jimin encouraged the blonde who nodded weakly.

"I felt that it was too early to develop feelings for him....but I think i can't control myself. I feel like i become more alive everytime I look at him. I can't help it, Chim....I think i am falling for him." He confessed, his heart thudding inside his chest as he felt like a burden had been lifted from his shoulders.

Its was the first time when Taehyung confessed it to himself or anyone.

Jimin smiled sweetly, too happy for his best friend.

"Don't stop yourself then, Tae. You have gone through so much....now you deserve a lot of love and happiness. I bet your husband will also not be able to control himself from falling for you...after all, my best friend is beautiful than any other human being on this planet....not just from outside but inside as well." And Jimin's words while on one hand made the blonde smile, it gave him hope too.

Maybe things will turn out in his favour this time.

Maybe God is done with sending all the troubles in his life.

Maybe now, he will get all the love he had been searching for.

Taehyung went back home only to find that he was home alone again. He sighed and went back to his work.

Cleaning the mess his husband has left behind.

The blonde was in Jungkook's room, picking up the messily thrown clothes on the bed and the floor, a smile for some reason stuck on his face making the boy look beautiful.

His eyes fell on the shirt Jungkook was wearing yesterday. The blonde looked at piece of blue silk cloth and stilled for a moment as if contemplating whether he can touch it or not. Moments of thinking passed and the blonde extended his hand slowly, touching the shirt with his fingertips to feel the softness of cloth.

He picked up the shirt and threw the clothes in his other hand on the bed as he looked at the blue shirt with a dreamy smile.

Slowly taking the shirt to his face, the blonde inhaled the familiar smell of his husband in that piece of cloth giving an instant goosebumps to the blonde. He closed his eyes in Euphoria as th boy tried to inhale as much of that sweet, addicting scent as he could.

He didn't realise how long he kept breathing Jungkook's smell neither he realised when he became so happy that he held the shirt's sleeves like he was holding Jungkook's hands and started swaying with his eyes still closed and some soft music playing in his mind.

He was contented for now.

Maybe one day, he will be in the ravenette's arms and dancing to his favourite song with his head placed on his husband's chest, hearing the soft rhythm of his husband's heart beating only for him.

Just him.

The boy kept dancing,not noticing his husband standing in the door, looking at the blonde dancing without any care while holding his shirt while he looked at him blankly.

The ravenette didn't know why he couldn't find it in himself to say something and disturb the blonde. He only stared at the beautiful boy for some moments before walking away from there.

He didn't like the beating of his heart at an abnormal speed.
