Ever since the night you "accidentally" admitted your love for Taehyung almost a month ago, you couldn't be separated. You both were literally attached at the hip, sparing little smiles and butterfly kisses here and there. You both are falling in love with each other more and more as each day passes.

This is what you've wanted your entire life. You've wanted someone to genuinely love you for you. And Taehyung fulfills that role. He loves the faint stretch marks that cross over your little tummy. He loves how your thighs aren't big, but are thick in just the right places. He loves the dead look in your eyes every time you wake up that instantly comes to life the second you lay your eyes on him. He loves your glasses that you curse at, wishing you had perfect vision. He loves your messy hair and your makeup-free face, along with your slain hair and beat-to-the-gods face.

You can be yourself when you're with him, like truly yourself. You even farted around him accidentally when sitting down next to him. What did your dork of a boyfriend do? Let one rip even louder to the point you both almost pissed yourself laughing so much. What else can possibly make this man perfect?

You finish grading the last student's assignment and sigh, looking to see that the time on your watch says it's almost 7pm. Yawning, you pack up all the things you need, and locking up your classroom. You would've been grading these papers at home or over Taehyung's house to have his company, but there's no point in being in your empty place alone since he's back visiting his family in Daegu for 2 long-ass weeks.

At this point, you wanna cry. Not only because he's going to be gone for so long and he just left earlier that morning, but because he invited you & wanted you to meet his parents and younger siblings but you have work. The next time you'll have time off from work is Spring Break in less than 3 months. During that time, though, you're going to see your family in Busan. And unfortunately, Taehyung has to work. But sooner or later, you'll meet each other's family.

You arrive to your apartment, noticing a small narrow box in front of your door with your name on it. Frowning, you pick it up and unlock your door, making your way inside. You drop your stuff near the door, kicking your heels off, pulling your dress shirt over your head, slipping your dress pants down your legs, and unhooking your bra until you're left in only your panties.

You huff satisfied with getting all that shit taken off and plop onto your couch, the box still in your hand. Removing the top of the box, you are staring at a single purple rose. It's absolutely breathtaking. You have never seen a purple rose before. You sniff the rose, smiling at the scent and place it next to you, grabbing a card that's still in the small box.

"Y/n,

Do you know what the color purple means?

-Taehyung."

As cryptic as this is to you, you can't help the smile that spreads across your face. "Weirdo. I love him so much."

When you return home from work the next day, you're met with another box with yet another purple rose and card inside. This one reading,

"Y/n,

I will tell you something about this color every day.

-Taehyung."

And that is what happened. Every single day, there would be a new box with a new purple rose inside. On day three, the card inside read,

"Y/n,

But first, you may want to get a vase for these roses.

-Taehyung."

You did as told. You got a vase the next day before returning home after work. Upon your arrival, the expectant purple rose sits at your door, waiting for you. On day four,

"Y/n,

Purple is the last color of the rainbow colors.

-Taehyung."

Day five was no different.

"Y/n,

Why is that so significant?

-Taehyung."

And neither was day six.

"Y/n,

Purple means I will trust you for a long time.

-Taehyung."

Day seven is your favorite.

"Y/n,

Purple means I will love you for a long time.

-Taehyung."

Day eight comes and the card reads,

"Y/n,

Believe it or not, I made that up.

-Taehyung."

You giggle at that one, impressed at how Taehyung made up a whole meaning of a color just to make you happy and make you smile while he is away. Yeah, you felt his physical presence missing but he left his emotional presence at home for you.

On day nine,

"Y/n,

Although I made that up, what it means is what I stick by.

-Taehyung."

Day ten sneaks up right before you know and you place your 10th purple rose in the vase.

"Y/n,

I will trust you, and I will love you.

-Taehyung."

Day eleven comes, the card reading,

"Y/n,

Purple is our color.

-Taehyung."

Day twelve,

"Y/n,

Purple is forever.

-Taehyung."

Day thirteen is bittersweet because it is the last purple rose you will receive before Taehyung comes home. The card you pull out reads,

"Y/n,

I purple you.

-Taehyung."

You set the rose with its peers and stare at it in awe. You set it behind a picture of you and Taehung that you printed out and framed on your coffee table. The purple roses compliment the area well, and you cannot wait to show him your gratitude when he comes home tomorrow.

The next day, you begin to follow your normal schedule. You teach your class, engage with your students, stay after for two or three hours to help any students struggling, and grade papers. However, you put grading to the side and don't do it tonight. You need to go see your boyfriend. 2 weeks is the longest you've gone without seeing him, and you don't know how you even managed to make it that long.

When you return home, it feels weird that you don't have a purple rose and a note sitting at your door. You've become so accustomed to it for those 2 weeks that you miss the feeling. It's what kept Taehyung with you while he was away. You sigh, unlocking your door as quickly as possible and sliding inside to hurry and change to go pop up and surprise him at home.

When you lock your door and turn around, you gasp as you drop your things. There is a big purple candle lit on each side of the bouquet of purple roses in your vase. Walking over to your coffee table with your hand over your mouth, you observe 12 little white circular candles looping around the vase and purple candles. The 13 roses sit perched in the vase, glistening with droplets of water on each petal.

"Oh my goodness." You whisper, seeing a shadow emerge from near your bedroom from the corner of your eye. You look up to see your boyfriend striding toward you, with a single purple rose and card in his hand. "Taehyung-"

"Hi, baby." He greets you with a beautiful, boxy smile. "I missed you."

A tear escapes from your eye, but you don't wipe it away quickly enough because Taehyung wipes it before you do. You truly had no idea how much you missed him and how overwhelming it would be to see him in front of you, holding the very thing that kept you smiling while he was away. You lean into his hand, "I missed you so much."

"Do you know what the color purple means?" He says all but above a whisper.

"I will tell you something about this color every day." You say after him, tears free-falling from your eyes.

Boy, he bout to do it...

"But first, you may want to get a vase for these roses." He smiles and you giggle.

He's about to recite every card he had sent to you for the past 2 weeks. And you're internally screaming like a fangirl who has just met her idol.

"Purple is the last color of the rainbow colors. Why is that so significant?" He takes your right hand into his left and intertwines your fingers. "Purple means I will trust you for a long time. Purple means I will love you for a long time. Believe it or not, I made that up.

"Although I made that up, what it means is what I stick by. I will trust you, and I will love you. Purple is our color. Purple is forever. I purple you." He hands you the last purple rose and card and kisses your forehead. "I love you, baby."

Day 14. 14 days, you have received purple roses. And for 14 days, you have never felt more loved. How can Kim Taehyung get any more perfect? This. This right here.

"I love you so much." You say, wrapping your arms around his neck, gently placing your lips on his.

He kisses you softly, slowly. It's been 2 weeks since he's tasted your strawberry flavored lip gloss. 2 weeks since he's had his hands on your waist, gently pulling you as close to him as you could. 2 weeks since he's held onto your cheeks and felt your skin heat under his touch.

Taehyung's heart beats rapidly in his chest as he kisses the girl he loves after 2 long weeks. Your lips move perfectly in sync, the unspoken communication of your love evident with each movement of your lips. He gently pulls away, both your lips glistening and slightly swollen.

You give him a small smile, looking right into his soft brown eyes. "No fair."

"Hmm?" He says, confused.

You giggle, shaking your head. "I was gonna come over and surprise you. You've sent me beautiful roses and cards for 14 days and I wanted to give you something."

"I'm sorry, baby."

"It's okay. I love everything you've done. Thank you so much. You have no idea how much I appreciate this."

"I just wanted to leave my love while away." He kisses your forehead. "I hope this wasn't all too corny."

"Corny or not, every good woman deserves a Taehyung in their life." You gently peck his lips.

"I don't think so." He wags his finger.

You raise an eyebrow at him. "Oh? And why not?"

He simply smirks, pulling you close to him. Your breath hitches in your throat as his hot breath cascades along your ear. "Because there's only one of me, and I belong to you."

I'M TELLING YOU NOW, THIS IS A LONG ASS A/N, BUT I REALLY HOPE YOU READ IT! 💜
..

This is my favorite chapter so far 😭 isn't this just the cutest shit ever!?!? Like, my uwu machine broke & I'm the one who wrote it!

I bet you're wondering why in tf I'm updating while I'm supposed to be focusing on getting my shitty life together. I'll quickly let you know why!

Although I'm still in debt & have no vehicle, I've been working my ass off at work, pulling double shifts and picking up as much overtime as they'll allow me. I jumped back into work like I never left. So my work life is stable & I'm back doing something I enjoy.

I'm still bummed about school & how I'm going to be behind a semester, but the instructor for the program I'm in completely understands that I need time off to get back on my feet. She can't wait until next winter when I'm able to come back & finish what I started. I worked too damn hard to just quit. I'm just taking a break to make sure I can continue to live my life on my own.

In the last few days of 2018, I reflected back on my year & it was definitely not the best. But I refuse to let 2018 drag me down in 2019. So what I did was I left all the negativity & negative vibes I was feeling back in 2018.

Sure, December 31st & January 1st are just a day apart but it's a new year. That means I need to focus on new life lessons, new adventures, new experiences.

Yesterday is history while tomorrow is a mystery. Why dwell on the past when I can live every day & create a new meaning to my life? THAT'S the person I am. THAT'S the optimistic person I lost over the years that I've been trying to find. And THAT'S the Stacy that I miss, that is going to make a comeback & be stronger than before.

Still confused as to how that pertains to coming back? I missed writing. And I missed updating, even if it was for only the shortest amount of time. This makes me happy. This gives me the chance to relax, let off steam. Writing is therapeutic for me. And I want to share what I create with you all. So that's what momma is doing! I'm back & I'm glad I'm back. I have lots of work to do with myself, but this is my happy place. Being able to give this to you all.

Thank you all so so much for the love & support you've given me! I said in the beginning that this would be written whether I had readers or not. The fact that you all are here, reading, commenting, & voting is more than I could ask for. The least I can do is give back to you, right? I wish I could hug & kiss you all to show my thanks but I'll just keep doing my best to provide good material for you even tho my work is trash.

Anyway!!!! Thank you for sticking to the end! Here's a gift for you, as my appreciation for you sticking with me & for reading this far!

How can you resist? TRICK QUESTION! YOU CAN'T 💁🏾

Okay, momma's leaving now!
(Yes, I'm declaring myself as momma. That is now my name & you are all my pretty babies 💖)

BYE, MY LOVES! 💜
