After dance practice, Taehyung and Jungkook walked over to the vending machine of their high school campus to get a drink.  Although the boys were exhausted and dripping with sweat, Jungkook was willing to carry Taehyung's backpack for him.

"I can't believe it, it's literally a few days away from prom day." Jungkook gasped as he checked his calendar on the phone (yes, he's carrying 2 backpacks and he's still checking his phone)

"What's so exciting about prom, anyway?" Taehyung scoffed, handing Jungkook a drink he just got from the vending machine.

Jungkook nodded his head in thanks while continuing. "Well, you get to have all the glitz and glamor all night! And everyone would be all dressed to impress!"

Taehyung laughed as he slipped another coin in the vending machine.

"... And best of all, we all get to have prom dates!" Jungkook exclaimed.

Taehyung flinched and accidentally pressed the wrong button. Oh shit.

"Tae, why the hell are you getting plum tea."

SKskKsk "O-oh, I dunno I just wanted to try that flavor." Taehyung stammered, trying his best to look casual.

"Anyways, it would be nice to go to prom with a significant other or something."

"Like who?"

Jungkook shrugged, "I dunno. But I do have an ideal date."

Taehyung raised an eyebrow. "An ideal date?

"Yeah. Like the perfect date. He would be handsome, and smart, and funny, and cool, and sweet. But most importantly, he would love himself."

"Wow. That's a lot to ask from a guy, Kookie." Taehyung scratched his head.

"Yeah, but that's why it's an ideal date, Tae!" Jungkook sat down on a bench and sipped his drink. He motioned Taehyung to sit next to him.

"But... if there really was that kind of a guy.. would you actually date him?" Taehyung sat down next to the boy, sipping his plum tea and cringing at the taste.

"Of course, but there's no such person." Jungkook laughed, taking the tea from Taehyung. "Does this really taste that bad?" Jungkook took a sip and stuck out his little tongue. "oH geez this tastes worse than wine."

Taehyung rolled his eyes, "oh please, Kookie, you're 18. Wine doesn't even taste bad, you little baby boy." Taehyung rustled the boy's hair and Jungkook giggled.

"No seriously tho, I like banana milk better." Jungkook quickly took a sip of his banana milk to ease that terrible taste of the plum tea. "You want some?"

Taehyung nodded and he took a sip from Jungkook's drink. "Still like wine better."

"Alcoholic," Jungkook muttered to himself.

"I can hear that, you ass." Taehyung tickled the sides of Jungkook and he burst into laughter.

Little did Jungkook know...

Taehyung was in love with him.

And he would do anything to become Jungkook's lover, Jungkook's prom date.
