In the busy bustling life, college days were going amazing. Each weekday was a marathon of lectures and notes, while we would all eagerly wait for the weekends not because we had holidays but we really enjoyed the practise, it kept our spirits vibrant.

During practice we would make new friends, share experiences, someone would crack jokes in between the rehearsal and all would laugh their hearts out... Even the teachers were friendly with us. It was a great fun time!!

On Saturday, it was our 5th Session of Skit play, Scene 2 part 3: the meeting of the prince (Eric)and the princess(Valeria) at the garden.

As our names were called out, Taehyung and I stepped onto the stage, our scripts clutched tightly in our hands like lifelines in the sea of anticipation that enveloped us. The spotlight bathed us in its warm soft glow.

With a gentle yet authoritative tone, the teacher outlined the scenario, painting a vivid picture of the scene we were about to bring to life. We were to portray characters from a royalty era, where the formalities of royalty dictated every movement and interaction. I was to enact the grace and personality of the princess Valeria, while Taehyung would take on the role of a prince Eric who was a guest at Valeria's father kindom, drawn to Valeria's presence. And that was the scene to be presented.

As the scene unfolded before us, I imagined myself amidst a lush garden, the air alive with the chirping of birds and the scent of blooming flowers. My character, lost in reverie, was to be found feeding the birds, her heart open to the wonders of nature.

Taehyung's character, intrigued by my presence, would approach with a sense of curiosity, his eyes sparkled with wonder as he wandered into unfamiliar territory.

With the guidance of our teacher, we practiced our dialogues, each word carefully chosen to convey our characters' emotions.

Then, with a nod from the teacher, we were given a sometime to prepare, to immerse ourselves fully in the roles we were about to inhabit. Stepping slightly offstage, we searched for an appropriate place for our own practice.

....

"Okay so we'll practice here, this place seems fine to me." Taehyung said ..

"Yupp!!" Y/n said while glancing and nodding simultaneously.

"Okay then let's start..."

....
....

And we practiced till we could perfectly enact it. Taehyung being the master of it he would efficiently guide me. He has good acting skills!

...

As Y/n immersed herself in her role, her focus unwavering as she delivered her lines with precision and grace, Taehyung found himself captivated by her every move.

He was enjoying every moment... Earlier he couldn't look into her eyes whereas now he could look into y/n's chocolaty brown eyes without any hesitation, he can hold her hand, have sweet conversation, and as directed on the script.

...

Two were engrossed in their practice while someone was really unhappy watching those two being together.

...After an hour ...

The teacher called Taehyung and Y/N onto the stage and told them to show.

Taehyung and y/n taking their position started their role..

~~~🌹~~~

Amidst the serene backdrop of a garden filled with the soft chirping of birds, Valeria found herself lost in the simple pleasure of feeding the birds that flitted about. Her movements were graceful, her smile radiant as she scattered breadcrumbs with gentle precision.

Unknown to her, Prince Eric silently approached, his footsteps muffled by the carpet underfoot. As he drew closer, Valeria's senses tingled with awareness, a subtle shift in the air alerting her to the presence of another.

Turning to face him, her eyes widened in surprise at the sight of the prince standing before her. With a warm smile, she greeted him, her voice soft yet filled with genuine warmth. "Good Morning Prince Eric." she acknowledged, dipping into a respectful courtesy.

Taehyung returned her greeting with a bow, his own smile mirroring hers as he took in the beauty of the scene before him. The peaceful tranquility of the garden seemed to envelop them both, creating a serenity amidst the hustle and bustle of the outside world.

Both Valeria and Eric spent time at the garden while having small talks in between.

~~~🌹~~~

Their conversations flowed effortlessly, the words flowed from their lips with a natural rhythm that lied the fact they were merely acting.

The world they were acting in, Taehyung found solace and joy, a pleasure where he could freely interact with y/n while admiring her, as the script demands...

Though it was acting, but for him, he was enjoying it, since he has an excuse that they are acting. And no one would know, especially y/n won't be uncomfortable.

...

#time skip (after an hour)...

As the others were engrossed in their practice sessions. Y/n got a small break. While Emily , Jimin, Taehyung, Mina were busy in their practice...
Y/n finally found a moment to relax. Walking and with a sigh of relief, she took a seat, and allowed herself to relax.

Moments later, Taehyung joined her.

"Yo, it was tiring but enjoyable!" he remarked, his voice carrying a hint of fatigue mixed with a genuine sense of satisfaction.

"True, I enjoyed it." Y/n agreed, a small smile crept on her lips.

"You did?" Taehyung inquired, his curiosity piqued by her response.

"Yeah," Y/n affirmed, her voice tinged with a sense of wonder.
"It's my new experience to act... so until now, I'm enjoying it. And there's you who helps me to improve it more.", her words carried a note of gratitude, a recognition of the support and encouragement she had received from her friend.

Taehyung's heart swelled with warmth at her words, his smile growing wider with each passing moment. To know she did enjoy his company. It filled him with a sense of fulfillment.

They sat together, drinking water and gazing at the stage where performers were immersed in their own practice sessions.

.....

As the silence stretched between them, broken only by the soft murmur of voices from the stage, Taehyung couldn't help but feel a sense of restlessness creeping over him. "I am bored now!!" he announced, his voice cutting through the silence with an air of impatience.

Y/n, raised an eyebrow in amusement at his declaration. "Umm, you really are an impatient guy, aren't you?" she remarked, with a playful glint in her eyes.

"No... but somewhat yes," Taehyung admitted with a sheepish grin. "Don't you feel bored sitting at one place and doing nothing?"

"I... Nope!" she replied nonchalantly,

"Huh? As expected..." Taehyung muttered to himself, his gaze drifting to the delicate bracelet adorning Y/n's wrist. "That's a beautiful bracelet... Who gave it to you?"

"Oh, thank you. It's one of my favorite bracelet!" Y/n replied with a fond smile, her fingers tracing the intricate patterns of the bracelet. "This was given to me by my father when I was nine, during one of our vacations to Japan. It was evening time, and we were strolling through the city when we came across upon an old lady selling these bracelets. I don't know why, but this peach color beads with a small delicate white flower captivated my eyes..."

Taehyung listened attentively, his eyes gazed with interest as Y/n recounted the memory.
"You really do remember the minute details." he said, a sense of admiration creeping into his voice.

"Yeah, I guess..." Y/n replied modestly, her gaze softening as she looked down at the bracelet.

"That's really good!! In my life I have found very few people who cherish old things... " He said while thinking about something.

"It's an emotion." she added simply, a reminder of the sentimental value that diffused the simple bracelet with meaning beyond its material worth.

"Hmm... Yes..." Taehyung murmured, his thoughts drifting to his own experiences and the precious memories that he held dear.

...

As the conversation veered towards personal preferences, Taehyung couldn't help but pose a question to y/n, curious to learn more about her beyond the surface. So to start with it ...

"Okay, let me ask you a question... What's my favorite season?" He inquired, his voice tinged with anticipation.

Y/n pondered for a moment, her brow furrowing in concentration.
"Umm... I don't know, maybe... Winter?" she ventured cautiously, uncertain of his guess.

But Taehyung shook his head with a gentle smile, a glint of mischief dancing in his eyes. "Nah!" he replied, his tone filled with warmth.
"I love all the seasons... but rain is just my feeling. I love rain, especially at night."

"Ohhh... that's a pretty good choice, I do sometimes love rainy nights." Y/n remarked, genuinely intrigued by his answer.

It was a revelation that painted a vivid picture of Taehyung's appreciation for the beauty and tranquility of rainy nights.

A second later Y/n posed the question, "What's with that random question" she asked, her expression a mixture of amusement and curiosity.
Taehyung couldn't help but chuckle at her sudden inquiry.

He smiled, his eyes sparkling with mischief as he leaned back in his seat, ready to unveil his playful reasoning. "See, we're friends, right? And friends should know about each other, so I was just testing to see if you knew." he explained, his tone light and teasing.

Y/n raised an eyebrow, but smiled and, "Yeah, how should I? We never conversed," she retorted, her playful banter a testament to the budding friendship between them.

Taehyung nodded in agreement, acknowledging the truth in her words. "Yeah, so let's have it now." he suggested, his eagerness to delve into their conversation evident in his tone.

"Okay," Y/n replied, her curiosity piqued as she leaned in, ready to engage in the exchange.

"So...What's your favourite season??" He asked

"Winter," she replied without hesitation, her voice filled with warmth. "There's a cozy and comfortable feeling that surrounds us, watching snowfall and building snowmen... It's amazing." she elaborated, a hint of nostalgia coloring her words.

Taehyung listened intently. In his mind's eye, captivated by the image she painted with her words.

"Indeed!!" he commented

And as their conversation meandered from one topic to another, spanning the spectrum of their lives, they found themselves immersed in a journey of mutual discovery. From favorite seasons to cherished memories to embarrassing experiences and so on...

And as they sat together, they were lost in conversation.

...Next Day...(At auditorium)

Y/n's kingdom's scene was been practised.

Taehyung who sat at the last seat, he found himself admiring her every movement, her smile, her voice, her eyes... He was lost in a world where only she existed, her presence casting a spell that made him unable to tear his gaze away.

Taehyung was jolted back to reality by the sound of a familiar voice taking a seat next to him.
"Done staring at her?" the voice remarked casually, breaking through the haze of Taehyung's thoughts.

"Huh?" Taehyung blinked, momentarily bewildered, before turning towards the owner of the voice and recognizing Jimin sitting beside him.

"I am not!" Taehyung protested defensively, his cheeks flushing with embarrassment. He quickly averted his gaze back to the stage, pretending to be engrossed in the scene unfolding before them. Deep down, though, he couldn't deny the truth in Jimin's words.

Taehyung was lost in his own thoughts, battling with the realization. But before he could process his emotions any further, Jimin's voice cut through the silence once again, his words hitting Taehyung like a bolt from the blue.

"Bro, just accept that you like her!"
Jimin exclaimed, his tone a mixture of amusement and sincerity.

"What?!"
