Chapter 44
Exam week was rapidly approaching and everyone was extremely busy, especially Taehyung.
One thing he had now realized was that he had a tendency of slacking off and procrastinating at the beginning of every school year. And towards the end, he started panicking and tried to catch up everything in very little time. Which was a problem, to say the least.
However, after weeks of struggling and being stressed, he had finally found a solution. Part of that solution had been- believe it or not- Jeon Jungkook, who had seen his struggle, known exactly how he felt, and just became a part of overcoming it.
He couldn't wait for his exams to be over so that he could finally confess his... liking towards the younger boy.
He found himself thinking more and more about him, his sweet words and caring attitude never leaving his head and making his heart flutter.
Then again, how could he not?
Deep in thought, he approached his locker to get the needed books for his next period. But as he opened the locker's door, he gasped in shock.
He came to face with a bouquet of luscious red roses, lying on top of a box of delicious but expensive chocolate- pralines to be exact.
And in the center laid a letter in a clean, pastel pink envelope, 'To Kim Taehyung' written in the middle of it.
Holding his breath, the brunette held the letter with shaky hands, opening it as gently as he could to not ruin the paper. His heart was beating wildly in his chest, he did not know what the hell was going on or why these... romantic things were placed inside his locker.
Is this... a love letter?
He unfolded the letter to reveal tidy handwriting, it seemed like the someone who wrote him this letter made a lot of effort to write it. His heart was beating even faster by now.
With wide eyes, he read:
'Dear Taehyung,
Normally, I planned on saying this to you in person but turns out I'm way too shy and nervous to actually face you like that. Which is crazy since we basically talk to each other every day.
But you just have that effect on me. I may not show it, but you're making me feel things. A lot of things and they're driving me insane which is why I'm writing you this letter.
The first time I saw you, I thought I saw an angel. Call me crazy but I was literally stunned by your beauty, do you even know how damn beautiful you are?
I couldn't take my eyes off you, it was like you were hypnotizing me. Never had I ever seen such a beautiful human in my life before, and I'm not exaggerating.
But not only your physical appearance intrigued me, the moment I saw you, it was as if I was immersed into you and your unique personality, as creepy as it sounds. (I promise, I'm not a creep!)
My eyes kept drifting away just to watch you, all the damn time. It's like you put me under a spell.
I started noticing things about you.
How shy you get when you talk to teachers.
How clingy you are with your best friends.
How much you seem to love noodles (Our cafeteria's lunch sucks ass, but somehow, you seem happy eating noodles).
How you cup your chin with your palm and roll your eyes when you get bored in class.
How your lips form into a pout and your eyes go all round when you eat.
How sassy you can be.
This is very embarrassing for me to say, actually. I've kept this a secret for a significant amount of time, but I don't think I can hold myself back anymore. I'm going to take a risk.
Kim Taehyung, I like you a lot.
(More like 'I'm madly in love with you and I would do anything for you' but I figured that would make me sound like a creep...)
From the moment I saw you, I had this one thought in my head.
Win his heart, at any cost and under any circumstance.
Did I do a good job? I don't even know.
You care enough for me to call me your friend and that's all that matters. Though, obviously, selfish me wants much, much more than that.
You may not like me back but that's okay, I just wanted you to know because every time I talk to you and I realize you only see me as a friend, my heart starts to hurt. Really badly.
All our interactions, the good and the bad ones, are probably going to be engraved into my memory forever. Because I care about you that much, you're really, really special to me. More than special.
You could say... I'm enraptured by you.
I'm not that much of a cheesy person but sometimes, it feels like you're meant to be mine and I'm meant to be yours. Very silly little thought, I know. You probably don't like me that way anyways.
Just so you know, you're not obliged to do anything!
I'm writing this letter simply because I want you to know, you don't need to like me back and you don't have to act any certain type of way, just be yourself and if you don't like me that way, I'll be fine. Somehow.
I'm sorry about the long ramble.
In conclusion, I really, really like you and I finally wanted you to know (if you didn't already, Yoongi told me I was being way too obvious about it. But I don't know, I don't think you realized...).
Lots of love,
Jeon Jungkook.'
The brunette slapped a hand over his mouth, his breath stopping for a moment.
His eyes were wide as saucers, full of emotion and unshed tears.
His heart was beating wildly in his chest, the sound loudly resonating in his ears.
His hands were still shaky, gripping the piece of paper tightly.
His breath was unstable.
Breathe, Taehyung, breathe... Wait, this is not a time to breathe!
"Taehyung? Did you get my letter?," a person behind him suddenly asked, voice sounding unsure and timid.
Slowly turning around, the brunette stared at his opposite, his hand still blocking his mouth.
"J-Jungkook I--" He seemed to have completely lost the ability to speak, breathing heavily with his chest heaving up and down.
Then, without hesitation, he ran towards the ravenette standing only a few feet away from him and threw himself into his arms, latching himself onto his neck and feeling his breath quicken even more as the other caught him by his waist and started caressing it gently.
"So, wh-what do you say? Do you accept my confession or n-not?," the writer of the letter asked, not knowing how to feel but smiling as he embraced the brunette's bone-crushing hug.
A moment after, Taehyung detached himself from the younger, just smiling at him with tears filling his eyes.
"I do accept your confession," he whispered, seeing Jungkook's eyes widen immediately.
"But... I can't be in a relationship yet. I have so much to take care of, a relationship would pressure me even more. And I feel like it'd be way, way too early for that anyways. There's stuff you don't know about me yet and there's stuff I don't know about you yet either.
S-So... Will you wait until I'm ready?," he asked unsurely.
He gasped as the other took his hand and started stroking it softly.
"Taehyung, for you I'd wait a million years. Of course I will, take all the time you need. And don't you dare rush yourself," the ravenette spoke in a calming voice, the warmth of his hand caressing Taehyung's hand warming the brunette's heart immediately.
And all of a sudden, he was overwhelmed.
"Jungkook," he stammered. "You're so good to me, too good. I don't deserve you. You deserve someone who doesn't make you wait for them." He felt a tear slip out of his eye and mentally cursed himself for crying in this extremely unfitting situation.
Not saying anything, the younger removed the tear with his thumb, smiling softly.
"You're crying? Because of me? Stop that."
"How can I not? You're just this super amazing person but you decide to like someone like... me! And yes. Actually, I have feelings for you too, I've had them for a long while, just didn't realize. Let's just say, you did a great job at winning my heart. I planned on confessing to you too after our exams are finished. Just-- I feel horrible, like I'm pushing you away. But it just doesn't feel right to--" Jungkook shushed him by putting his index finger on the brunette's pink lips.
"Don't you dare feel bad. You deserve me, I am very sure of that. You're the one I want and need, there will never be anyone else for me, okay? And I can't believe you like me too. You know, my heartrate-- I may not show it but it's going insane. I'm just so happy." The boy laughed, grabbing Taehyung's other hand and squeezing them both.
"This is a weird way of confessing our feelings for each other," the brunette mumbled.
"I can't believe you're actually willing to wait for me. Thank you, Jungkook."
Suddenly, he leaned forward and cupped the ravenette's head, pressing a kiss onto both his cheeks which made them redden almost immediately.
"You're worth everything, how could anyone not wait for you?"
And the older melted all over again.
You could say that Taehyung was enraptured by Jungkook aswell, just as much.
