Jungkook's POV

Finally, we're having a two-week break. I dropped my bag on the ground and laid on my bed. "I hate college," I groaned. I do hate college, but if I didn't come, I would have never met Taehyung. We've been roommates for two years now. He's my happy virus. He keeps my energy up whenever I'm feeling low. He's the social butterfly here and keeps everything positive around him. I would do anything to just keep his smile.

The door opened with a smiling Taehyung. "Change your clothes first before sleeping," he said while putting his bag down. I smiled a little at him. I watched him put his hands on his hips while mumbling about what to eat. I laughed at the way he was acting. He whispered ramen, but I clearly heard him. He's too cute. How could anyone hurt him?

I got up from my bed and used all my energy to change into comfortable clothes. "Oh come on, your classes weren't that bad," he laughed from the kitchen. His laugh will always make my stomach tingle. "I'm almost at my limit with this doctor's career," I said while walking into the kitchen. He continued talking, but I was more focused on his smile. I've asked myself if I have feelings for Taehyung many times. I'm still not sure about my answer.

"Let's go grocery shopping tomorrow, we barely have anything," he said while slurping the noodles. He motioned me to come eat with him and I gladly joined.

I watched Taehyung tap his cheek thinking about what to buy. I laughed at the cute action. "Do we want vegetables?" I asked. He nodded aggressively but was still thinking of things to buy. I put the basket of snacks down, thinking that this was probably going to take a while. "Ah! Can you go get some fruit, please? I've been craving for mango," he said. I nodded while grabbing the basket. I headed towards the fruit section and searched for mangos. Of course I grabbed some strawberries and bananas.

Once I found the mangos, I walked back to Taehyung and found him staring at a poster. Fireworks show tomorrow, huh? "You want to go?" I asked. He immediately looked at me with his puppy eyes and nodded. "If it doesn't bother you," he said while looking back at the poster. Now that I think of it, I've never seen Taehyung go to any events. He's hard-working but also keeps his head up. I wonder how he stays so positive.

Since this will be his first event, I want to make sure he'll have the most fun he's ever had. "Alright! Let's go home," he said while picking up the basket. I quickly grabbed it since it was heavy for him.

Once we got back to our dorm, Taehyung quickly put the groceries away. I told him to slow down, but he kept saying how he was excited for tomorrow. I smiled at the thought of both of us watching the fireworks. I've never seen him this excited about something before.

"It's almost time," Taehyung said while looking at the time. I went through the snacks we bought and realized I didn't get my favorite chips. "Taehyung, I'm going to the vending machines real quick," I said. He hummed in response. I laughed at how focused he was on the time.

I'm glad we're on the second floor. I put in the money and pressed on the number for the chips. "Jungkook!" Someone called. Namjoon waved at me with a cheeky smile. I waved back while grabbing my chips. "You look good today, you gelled your hair back too," he said while giving me a flirty look. I told him to shut up with a heated face. He laughed and leaned against the vending machine.

"Come hang out with Hoseok and me, we have extra company too," I shook my head at the offer. "I'm busy tonight," I said. I was about to head back to my room, but he stopped me. He grabbed my arm and pulled me towards the area Hoseok and the 'extra company' were at. I groaned once he made me sit down next to one of the girls.

"Why are you acting up, hm?" The girl asked. I don't know how to act in this type of situation. New people around me makes me nervous. I don't want to be rude or anything, but I really have to leave. "You look good with your hair up Jungkook," Hoseok said while putting a thumbs up. I ignored him and thought about Taehyung.

Taehyung's POV

What's taking him so long? It's almost time. Did something come up? I shook my head at the thought. He would have told me if something happened. Five more minutes passed and I was getting more anxious. I put my shoes on and headed downstairs.

Once I turned the corner, I watched Jungkook walk out with a group of people. Must be his friends. So that's what happened. I sighed at the thought of Jungkook forgetting about the fireworks. I took a deep breath to erase the sad feeling. I walked out of the building and headed in the opposite direction. I'll just..go for a walk.

Maybe Jungkook didn't know how to say no to me. Or maybe I shouldn't have asked to go see the fireworks. What if him and his friends were already planning to go out and he didn't know how to tell me. I did it again. I should start watching how I act.

I looked at the time on my phone. I gasped a little once my phone shut off. I forgot to charge it. I remember it was almost twenty minutes until the fireworks go off. It's quiet here. People must be going to watch the fireworks too. I smiled at the thought of people enjoying the show.

It's fine though, there's always next time. I still have a long way to live too. I sat on a bench and stretched my arms up. "It's fine," I said to myself. "Don't be so spoiled," I laughed. My chest felt heavy, but I ignored it. I was about to close my eyes, but stopped once I heard the faint sounds of the fireworks. I immediately stood up from the bench and watched them from afar. They were far, but I was still amazed at how beautiful they looked.

It's my first time seeing fireworks. They're so bright and colorful. I wonder what it's like being over there. It must be more amazing up close. I sat on the grass and hugged my legs close to me. It's lonely watching the fireworks by yourself. But we don't get everything we want. I made sure to appreciate everything I had. It's okay to feel lonely.

Jungkook's POV

Damn it. I need to leave now. "I'm sorry guys, I have to leave," I said quickly. "What? But the fireworks are about to start!" Namjoon said. I ignored him and ran to the dorm building. I can't believe I walked this far with them. What is Taehyung thinking right now? Will he hate me forever? Will he stop talking to me? I didn't stop running until I arrived at the dorm.

He's not here. I panicked even more. Guilt started to eat me up even more. I was pissed at myself for not knowing how to refuse to Namjoon. I want to beat myself up right now. I ran out of the dorm building once again to find Taehyung. I don't want him to be alone. I don't know what I would do if he hates me.

Twenty minutes have passed and I still haven't found him. The fireworks have already ended. I walked back to the dorm while feeling the guilt stabbing me. I wanted this night to be the most memorable for Taehyung and I. He's never seen fireworks. I'm such a horrible person.

I opened the door and was met with a tired-looking Taehyung. "You're back!" He said with a bright smile. I closed the door and immediately went to hug him. "I'm sorry Taehyung, I'm really sorry," I said. I hugged him tightly. I felt my tears threatening to fall. "..It's fine, I saw the fireworks, I never knew they were so pretty," he laughed.

I looked at his smiling face. His eyes were swollen. He cried. I've never seen Taehyung cry. I cupped his face and felt my chest get heavy again at the thought of him crying. I never wanted this to happen. I made him cry. This is my fault. "I-It's fine Jungkook," he laughed.

"How can you laugh right now?!" I said angrily without realizing it. His expression immediately changed. "..Then should I cry?" I was taken aback. This isn't what I wanted. "N-No that's not-" he held my wrist and smiled at me once again. "We have next year too remember?" I stared at him for a minute. I intertwined our fingers and held him closer.

"I wanted to be with you. If I just said no to Namjoon," he didn't say anything. He may say it's fine, but I know he's not fine at all. I never want to leave his side. I don't ever want this to happen again. "I like you," I said quietly. He looked at me with a surprised expression. I pulled him into a kiss to change his expression.

He pulled away from the kiss. "Please let me take you out tomorrow, I'll do anything to make it up to you," he was now calmed down. He stood there quietly for a minute. "Okay!" He said with another bright smile. I brought him back into a tight hug again.

I need to learn how to own up myself and say no. I can't make this mistake again
