Four months.

By now, they had four months left.

And Taehyung felt his heart crack at the thought of not being able to be there for his boyfriend's eighteenth birthday.

Or not being able to go to prom.

Why couldn't his vicious father at least let him enjoy prom?

It was one of the very things the couple had been looking forward too: Pretty outfits, dancing passionately, drinking the most bizarre combinations of drinks, waiting for the prom king and queen announcement, having fun...

It was so unfair.

However, now was not a time to sulk and dwell on the misfortunes of the future, they should enjoy their time together as much as possible, and that they had sworn to each other, it almost felt like they had made an oath.

And, well, plenty of good things had happened aswell, that also had to be said.

"Baby? I think I may have found my career path."

Taehyung smiled in awe, lifting himself off his boyfriend's chest and turning around to face him.

"Aw, that's amazing, Kook. So, what are you going to do?"

The other smiled, taking his hand and intertwining their fingers.

"I took inspiration from you. Teaching does sound fun. You see, the other day at practise, our coach told me to take over for a while because he had some emergency he had to take care of. Anyways, I did and it felt so good bossing around the other kids, I bet being a PE teacher is a hell load of fun," he told, grinning.

"That's really sweet, actually. But you're not gonna boss around your students all the time, right?," the blonde questioned, also grinning.

Jungkook shrugged.

"We'll see about that. If they're not being annoying little shits. But you can't imagine how refreshing it was to chase Jackson across the field and give him penalties continuously. He couldn't even fight it. Priceless, really. Nice to see him suffer." He snickered, Taehyung joining in.

"I can see, you're gonna make the world's fairest and definetely kindest PE teacher ever," the blonde giggled, snuggling himself back into the other's chest.

"Aw, c'mon. I'm totally sweet, kids love me."

"Hmm, I wouldn't be too sure about that. How's Yeji holding up?," the older whispered into his ear teasingly.

"That's completely different, Yeji's opinion does not matter. My students will be very happy with me, I'll be their super cool and super handsome Hyung-Oppa," Jungkook answered smugly, patting his lover's head softly.

"Can't argue with the 'handsome'-thing." The ravenette showed a slight smirk.

"That's right, you can't... Hey, why are you covering that up?" He pushed down the collar of Taehyung's shirt slightly, revealing a prominent blotch of purple painting his right collarbone.

"Because it's embarrassing!," the older snapped, covering it up again with his face as red as a tomato.

"Really? I think it looks fantastic, like an artwork. I wonder who the artist is...," Jungkook mumbled teasingly, the shade of red on Taehyung's face intensifying.

"You-- You are impossible sometimes," the blonde squeaked out, feeling utterly embarrassed once again.

"I'm never letting you give me a hickey again!"

"Yeah, yeah, we'll see about that."

The younger winked.

"And speaking of art, maybe I'll become an art teacher aswell. When I drew your portrait, I realized how fun art can be. And how nerve-wrecking. But I enjoy it."

"That sounds amazing, actually. And oh my god, I'll never forget that present! You have no idea how happy you made me and how grateful I am. God, I just love you. I'd do anything to repay you, anything!," Taehyung gushed, now smiling extremely brightly all of a sudden.

"Anything?," Jungkook asked with a very suggestive smirk on his face.

Feeling, once again, utterly embarrassed, the other slapped his chest with a little squeak leaving his throat.

"My god, what's up with you today? Why are you being such a pervert?," he whisper-shouted, cheeks fiery red.

Jungkook laughed.

"I'm sorry, I promise I'll stop or I might accidentally kill you of embarrassment. And we do not want that," he spoke lightly, kissing the top of the blonde's head.

"As if you don't everyday," said blonde spoke inaudibly, looking at the other with his eyes full of love.

"Jungkookie? What are we gonna do about prom? We're not gonna make it. But I wanted to dance with you...," he then spoke glumly, the ravenette frowning.

"You know, I might actually have an idea. This may come as a shocker, but I talked to Jimin." Taehyung's eyes immediately lit up.

"You and Jiminie are finally friends? Oh my god, yay!," he exclaimed happily.

"Oh no, definetely not friends. Or anything close to that. Hey, don't look so disappointed. I actually have good news for you, my little prince," Jungkook reassured, lifting the other into his lap and hugging his waist affectionately.

"So, I had a thought. We could make our own fake prom party, we just need a room, music and a few other people. And maybe some drinks and snacks. Jimin talked to Mr. Kim and kind of explained the situation to him. I'm sorry about that, by the way! His doing, not mine." Taehyung gave him a reassuring smile, signalling that it was fine.

"Anyways, Mr. Kim kindly agreed to give us the gym, we just need to set a date. Week-end would be ideal, preferably Saturday. I also told my parents and they'd gladly do the catering service. Jimin can borrow speakers from his dance studio. So, what do you say? A night full of happiness in case everything will go to dust eventually?" He stroked the blonde's hair gently, booping their noses against each other.

Taehyung smiled with watery eyes, nodding eagerly.

"Oh my god... That sounds so, so amazing. Chae can come, with Lisa preferably, Jimin and his girlfriend can come, Yoongi can come... And you thought of such a thing? Who knew you could get even more romantic?," he enthused.

"Oh my god, I love you so much!"

Jungkook widened his eyes briefly as he felt his lover grab his head and crash his lips onto his fervently, the back of his head kind of slamming into the brick wall behind him and leaving him dizzy for a moment. But he regained his conscience very shortly after and smiled into the kiss, getting into it as he embraced the other fully.

They kept going on like this for a while, until...

"...Uh, guys? I don't want to intrude or anything, but you're on school property right now. Do you really have to make out right in front of the gym building?"

The two of them immediately broke their session, Jungkook frowning at the intruder and Taehyung smiling happily, climbing off his boyfriend's lap running up to said intruder.

"Oohhh, Yoongi! I haven't seen you around much lately, how are you doing? You must be super stressed right now, all the recitals and exams on top? I hope you're still resting well and taking care of yourself! And guess what? I have really, really good news!," he rambled, throwing himself into the shorter boy's arms and hugging him tightly.

The smaller boy, feeling a bit suffocated and overwhelmed at the blonde's sudden outburst, nevertheless smiled his warm signature gummy smile and patted Taehyung's back softly.

"Hi to you too, it's nice to see you again aswell," he then said.

As they loosened the hug, Yoongi's eyes fell onto his friend's collarbone and widened immediately.

"Oh my god, cover that up! My innocent eyes..."

Blushing, the blonde threw his shirt's collar over the mark and threw an alarmed look to Jungkook, who just sat there and smirked.

"Oopsie. Anyways, I wanted to invite you to a party-kind of thing. I'll tell you all the details. I don't know when it is yet but I want it to be on a Saturday. This is really, really important for me so please come? And bring a dance partner, maybe? I promise, there won't be many people!," he rambled, the younger's face screaming nothing but confusion.

"Umm... okay. I don't really go to parties, actually. But I'll consider it, definetely. If it's that important for you... I'll ask my sister if she can come with me." He gave an awkward smile, Taehyung beaming instantly.

"Thank you, thank you, thank you! Shit, the bell just rang so we need to get to class now, Jungkookie. Bye, Yoonie, and thank you again!" Pulling Jungkook up by his hand, he waved excitedly while distancing himself slowly, disappearing inside the pretty gloomy-looking gym building.

"He can be a bit strange sometimes...," Yoongi mumbled to himself.

"But I like that about him. He's one of a kind." He smiled sweetly, his smile becoming wider and wider gradually.

And that was when he realized how much he appreciated Taehyung's friendship.
