alright. today was finally the day.

jeongguk was gonna ask taehyung to be his boyfriend.

you know that feeling i talked about before? how it felt like the words were constantly in the back of his mind, constantly on the tip of his tongue? well, it turns out that ignoring it didn't make it any better.

his chance to ask was already ruined that first time at the picnic.

~flashback, chapter 36~

suddenly he spoke.

"hey, taehyu-?"

"hey, baby?"

they both spoke at the same time, actually.

"oh um, you can go first" jeongguk shrunk back into himself.

~end of flashback~

he needed to get the words out this time, no matter what.

he remembered hoseok's words: "do something simple and sentimental that he'll remember".

he knew exactly what to do.

or at least he thought he did. he was confident in his decision yet he couldn't help but feel slightly doubtful of himself. however, this was an everyday, underlying notion throughout most years of his life and so he chose to ignore that voice within himself that was screaming at him that his plan was going to fail miserably.

the more he thought about his plan, he cheesier it seemed. it sounded like it was meant for some sort of low budget chick-flick. however, he tried not to let this phase him since taehyung was a sucker the cheesiest of things anyway, constantly living like his life was just that: a movie.

with all negative thoughts pushed towards the very back of his mind, he began to get ready for today. the big day.

he showered for about an hour and a half. well, i say that he "showered" but about an hour of this time was spent simply thinking while standing under the water, about ten minutes was spent singing and then the remaining twenty was the only time spent actually showering.

when he was done stalling, there was only about ten minutes left before he had to leave to pick up taehyung. that being said, he gave himself a once-over in the mirror, said goodbye to seokjin who wished him goodluck and jogged outside to get in the car.

meanwhile, with taehyung...

"NAMJOON, WHERE'S THE FUCKING BLOWDRYER?!"

"I DON'T KNOW, YOU USED IT LAST!"

taehyung was currently turning the apartment upsidedown looking for the blowdryer to prevent himself looking like a wet dog on his date with jeongguk.

he was honestly terrified for this whole ordeal.

something about this date felt different to all the others.

he couldn't put his finger on why it felt so strange but it did. the way jeongguk asked him was odd and, on top of that, he was being so secretive about everything.

the only information he got was "dress casual" which wasn't a lot considering the fact that taehyung enjoyed being in control of things.

jimin was sitting on his bed, watching him have a nervous breakdown over a hairdryer.

"taehyung, it's fine. we'll just-"

"IT'S NOT FINE, MY HAIR IS GON-" taehyung cut him off only to get swiftly cut off himself.

"taehyung, the hairdryer is literally right there." jimin deadpanned.

taehyung's head spun right around so fast that it's quite shocking he didn't get whiplash.

the blowdryer was sitting on a pile of clothes in the corner of the room next to his vanity.

he rushed over and grabbed the appliance, muttering something along the lines of "i knew that" when we all know that he quite obviously did not know that.

"why're you so nervous anyway? you've been on plenty of dates with jeongguk." jimin questioned.

"this one just feels different, i don't know how to explain it. the way he asked me was so random and he's not giving me any information about literally anything so i know he's up to something." taehyung spoke loudly over the sound of the blowdryer.

jimin thought for a second before replying, "maybe he's gonna ask yo-"

jimin was cut off by the sound of the doorbell ringing.

"jimin, can you get that? it's probably jeongguk. namjoon is trying to work in his office and i'm kinda in the middle of something." taehyung asked.

so jimin bounced down the short flight of stairs and quickly swung the door open.

"hello jeon."

"hello park."

jimin snorted out a laugh, "taehyung's still getting ready."

"i figured." jeongguk sighed, knowing his boy was always late.

"yeah," jimin giggled as he shut the door behind jeongguk, "so what's so special about this date? taehyung's been freaking out for the past two hours."

"it's nothing crazy..." jeongguk trailed off.

"...but?" jimin urged.

"i'm gonna ask him to be my boyfriend." he stated bluntly.

jimin's eyes lit up, "that's great! he's literally been waiting for you to ask him for decades, it's getting annoying listening to him."

"that just made me even more scared." jeongguk groaned.

jimin frowned, "what? why?"

"he's been looking forward to me asking for so long... what if he's disappointed? is he expecting something big from me?" jeongguk worried.

"no, no it's fine jeongguk. taehyung has enough glitz & glamour being a model & an influencer. he doesn't need a grand gesture from you. he'll just be happy that you finally asked him." jimin assured him, patting him on the back.

that made jeongguk feel slightly better however, nothing could fully eliminate all his anxiety about the situation.

as if taehyung had been summoned by jeongguk's anxious thoughts, the boy came jogging down the stairs just then.

"hey." the boy sang, smiling brightly as if he hadn't just been in the midst of a mental breakdown.

taehyung was good at that: acting okay when he really wasn't.

too bad that jeongguk knew that look all too well.

"hello," jeongguk said as he kissed his head before whispering, "stop freaking out, it's gonna be fine."

taehyung looked offended, "i was not freaking out."

"whatever you say." jeongguk ruffled his hair, soiling taehyung's hard work.

"oh my gosh, i just turned the house upside down looking for my hairdryer and now you've just-"

"okay!" jimin interrupted, "you two should go, your love is making me sick."

and, with that, they were shoved out of the house after a brief farewell and, soon enough, they were strapped into the car.

"are you gonna tell me where we're going now?" taehyung fluttered his eyelashes, leaning closer to jeongguk who looked unamused.

"nope."

"why?" the older boy complained.

"because then i won't get to hear your cute whining while you sulk throughout this car ride." jeongguk winked, starting the car and pulling out into the road.

"jeongguk." taehyung whined.

aaaand there he goes, that's my taehyung. jeongguk thought.

~twenty minutes later~

taehyung had jeongguk's hand covering his eyes as he continued to complain about the surprise.

"you said it was nothing huge so why are you building up so much suspense?" taehyung whined.

"that's a good question actually. the unveiling is gonna be kinda underwhelming." jeongguk said thoughtfully, continuing to shield the other's eyes nonetheless.

they made their way over to the spot and jeongguk spoke up once more, "ready?"

"yes!" taehyung bounced up and down in anticipation.

"okay, i'm gonna let you look but you need to promise that you won't look behind you, okay? you can look everywhere except from behind you."

"i promise."

with that, jeongguk removed his hands from taehyung's eyes who quickly adjusted to the light, looking around him but keeping his promise to not look directly behind him.

he was stood in the middle of an assortment of flowers that were arranged quite masterfully, he could see a white backdrop was behind him but was careful not to look. when he looked in front of him, it was a camera set up with lights and everything.

"a photoshoot?" taehyung questioned with a smile on his face despite his confusion.

"i've never told you this since we're still learning about eachother as we go on but... i've always loved art. ever since i was a kid i've wanted to be an artist. it didn't matter what kind of artist that was; whether it be painting or drawing, fashion, singing, dancing. i just wanted to be creative. i lost touch with most of those things but one thing i've always loved doing is photography. it's the reason i made my instagram account in the first place. when you scroll all the way down you can still find all my old photos and polaroids that i posted." jeongguk admitted.

taehyung, who was listening intently, asked "why did you stop?"

"life took over me, i guess. or, rather, my own mind took over me. there was a point in my life where nothing really mattered to me anymore and photography was one of those things. a time where i felt like i wasn't good at anything and photography was one of those things." jeongguk answered.

"i bet you're amazing at it." taehyung reached a hand up to caress the younger's cheek.

"well you're about to find out so you can be the judge." jeongguk laughed, backing away and getting behind the camera.

"oh my gosh, seriously?" taehyung giggled.

"you're a model. it's always been your dream to be one and you are. a guy who likes to take pictures has a boyfriend who gets his picture taken for a living and you expect him not to take advantage of that? not to mention that you are the most photogenic person i've ever laid eyes on and yet even a camera still doesn't do you enough justice compared to the real thing." jeongguk gushed.

taehyung was too busy blushing and giggling out a quiet "stop it" that he didn't realise that jeongguk had called him his boyfriend.

"well, cmon then, pose!" jeongguk yelled.

"alright, alright!" taehyung laughed once more before he entertained jeongguk's romantic gesture.

once jeongguk was satisfied with his shots, picking out the ones he liked the most, he called out to taehyung.

"yeah?" the older acknowledged.

"wanna see the final shots?" jeongguk asked, beckoning him over with a smile.

jeongguk's smile. oh, taehyung could stare at it all day. and this smile was particularly bright. particularly expecting.

without even answering, taehyung scrambled away from the floral setup and skipped over to jeongguk. leaning on his shoulder as jeongguk held the camera, taehyung took a look at the photo on the screen.

immediately taehyung screamed "YES! FINALLY, YES!" and tackled the other boy to the ground, showering him in kisses as the one recieving said kisses laughed at his antics.

why?

because behind taehyung, right above his head on the white backdrop, were the words WILL YOU BE MY BOYFRIEND?  written out with flowers.

and YES! FINALLY, YES!  he will be his boyfriend.
