chapter 17 - euphoric feelings

"and i will get a strawberry crepe!"

the seller nodded and went off to make his customers' orders. "i craved crepes for centuries. thank you jeongguk!"

"no problem, mate. its just once in a lifetime," he said and tickled taehyung's chin. "one chocolate chip crepe and one strawberry!"

taehyung took both of the crepes while jeongguk paid for it. once jeongguk was done, he gave jeongguk his order and ate the strawberry crepe. "your crepe looks so appetizing." jeongguk whispered and bit off a big part of taehyung's crepe without his permission.

"seriously gguk? i wanted to take a picture but your face covered it," he cheekily giggled, "sorry. do you want to try my crepe?" taehyung nodded and ate it.

both of them walked to the seoul tower while talking about their past, which includes laughters, red faces because of embarrassment and pinches.

"wow, the tower is so enormous!" jeongguk rose his eyebrows, "which tower is not enormous?"

"i genuinely think there are towers that are not gigantic though, and this one is huge!" jeongguk shrugged his head, "stop making synonyms of big, tae. my mind is not okay with this."

"don't worry, i think the same too." they laughed.

soon, they went to a nearest bench and sat there. "hey taehyung, i've got something to tell you."

"yes?" jeongguk took out white envelopes from his small pouch, "this. these are for you," "w-what?"

"they are from my friends who insult you. i told them to ask for forgiveness and they wanted it through letters. they're cowards." taehyung closed his mouth in surprise, but didn't let out any sounds.

"r-really?" he said. he grabbed all of the envelopes and put them in his tiny bag. "i-i don't want to read them now. i'm scared i'll cry."

"its okay. now taehyung, can i ask you something?" taehyung nodded.

"can we be a thing? like— i know i only met you yesterday, but we meet each other for years. i want us to be a thing with you, but sadly you left unexpectedly. i really really like you. in fact, i can say that i love you. i still have the feelings even if i can't see your face every week. please?"

taehyung was confused, everything escalated too quickly. he never would've imagine his crush indirectly confessed to him. "yes."

they hugged each other so tightly, they could fall to the floor. both of them were so happy.

"thank you," "thank you to you too, gguk." jeongguk wiped taehyung's tears with his hand, "we're only starting, what will happen when we engage--"

"sh, too fast." they laughed.

they held hands, forgetting their crepe and walked to the famous bridge, that people put their love padlock on the railing. "lets buy a padlock!"

once they bought it, both of them wrote their full name on the back of the padlock, hang it on the fence and threw the key to the river under the bridge.

when its almost midnight, taehyung held jeongguk's hand through out the ride, in the back of jeongguk's friend's car.

when they arrived at taehyung's apartment, jeongguk gave him a bouquet full of flowers coloured in purple called sweet peas that jeongguk's friend placed on the passenger seat when jeongguk told him to bring it when he pick them up.

"thanks for today, gguk. i appreciate it, i'm glad to be alive and meet you." taehyung said, kissed jeongguk and hugged him, as if there is not tomorrow.

"bye, i love you."
