(Your POV)
It took you both a while to muster up the willingness to finally leave the room since now that you had made up with each other (and even slightly made out with each other), you both weren't fond of the thought to leave the other's presence. But Jimin was probably still waiting for you to come to the piloting lesson, perhaps he had even already alarmed everyone of your absence. And you didn't want to make the blue-haired Lucyndian or any other rebel worry about you not showing up.
Tae was reluctant to break apart, it was clearly written in his face and emphasized by his slow movement to let go of you, who until that moment had rested in his embrace, drawn to his presence. Though he still refrained from releasing your small hand out of his large and velvety one, the purple glow continuing to penetrate your skin, growing stronger and stronger in your presence, and at the same time, his skin began to shine naturally again. Now that you studied Tae's face with attentive eyes, you noticed that he had regained a healthy look, his eye bags weren't prominently bulging the skin anymore, and his eyes sparkled lividly, holding warmth and love in them that were only meant for you. It seemed as if the time he had spent with you had healed him to such an amount that now he appeared as if he had been healthy the whole time, he was so beaming with vividness and joy that you weren't able to suppress a smile. Did you really have that big of an effect on him?
The mesmerizing being in front of you cleared his throat, breaking you out of your thoughts.
"I hate to ask you that, but didn't you want to go to Jimin?"
His voice was slightly but still obviously layered with jealousy, and to make that nasty feeling vanish, you tiptoed and planted a peck on his lips to bring the smile on them you cherished every time you saw it.
"Hey, don't be like that. You know that I don't feel about Jimin the way I do about you!" you scolded teasingly while he pouted like a child that didn't get its chocolate.
But then his mind processed the slight implication hidden in your words, and his face lit up.
"And how do you feel about me?" he asked with sparkling eyes, eager to hear your response.
Flustered, you turned in the other direction to avoid meeting his eyes, but he put his long and warm fingers under your chin and softly turned your head to him, tilting it up slightly until there was no way for you to avoid his loving gaze. You looked up to see a sweet boxy smile decorating his ethereal face, only warmth to be found in his silver eyes, ensuring you that you were safe to say whatever you wanted.
"Please tell me," he asked softly with his melodious, deep voice that didn't fail to turn you into a flustered mess.
"I..." you stuttered shyly, your cheeks so hot that you feared they had actually caught on fire. "I like you."
You were timid and hesitant to confess that you loved him, to use the word 'love' even though you new it was the right word to describe your emotions for him whenever you were near him and whenever you weren't but he didn't seem to give up that fast until he would hear you saying how you truly felt about him. Tae pouted adorably and gave you the best set of puppy eyes, trying to convince you with his cuteness. Of course, it was working, and you felt your eyes soften. Who could ever resist him?
"Pretty please?"
You gathered up all your courage and opened your mouth to tell him the truth, how much you loved him and how you struggled with expressing the enormous amount of your love for him, but suddenly the door was thrown open and in the doorframe stood a panting Jimin.
"There you are!" he gasped, bending over and putting his hands on his knees to regain his breath, "I searched everywhere!"
The mesmerizing silver-haired alien and you broke away from each other quickly and awkwardly looked to the ground.
"I-I'm sorry, Jimin," you stammered, guilt building up in you.
(3rd person POV)
Taehyung had grown silent after Jimin had barged into the room. Of course, he was slightly annoyed at Jimin for interrupting them during such an important moment in which his love had been about to confess her feelings to him.
But on the other hand, he was able to see how much Jimin actually cared for Y/N, and it relieved him to know that his blue-eyed childhood friend was trying to protect her and keep her safe. Taehyung felt gratefulness warming him, relaxing his tensed shoulders. During the time he had failed to stay with Y/N and protect her, at least his childhood friends had done it instead.
As Jimin looked up, he noticed Taehyung standing sheepishly and embarrassed next to the human girl.
"Oh! Hi, Tae!" he greeted awkwardly, confused to see the other Lucyndian together with the human girl again.
On the other hand, he was happy for them, it seemed as if they both had made up, and Taehyung had gained the natural purple glow of his skin back.
Jimin, of course, hadn't failed to notice the unhealthy condition Taehyung had been in, and being a Lucyndian himself, he knew that it was evoked by the loss of a beloved person, in that case, Y/N. Now Taehyung looked all healthy again, a rather quick change to his earlier appearance, considering how bad he had seemed the day before. Usually, the nearer a Lucyndian would get to the person they had lost previously, the quicker the healing process was taking place. The fast healing of Taehyung must have meant...
Jimin smiled to himself. It seemed as if Taehyung and Y/N had finally made up, and obviously, there had been more to it, considering their flustered appearance and their slightly swollen lips.
Though as a polite person, Jimin decided not to bring that up. Both beings standing in front of him were already acting very awkwardly around each other in his presence, and he didn't want to bother them even more.
"Alright." Jimin cleared his throat. "I think it's already too late for the flying practice, so we'll postpone today's lesson, and I will start teaching you tomorrow how to fly the bigger spacecraft."
He saw Y/N nodding, but she still seemed ashamed, so he shot her an encouraging smile that made his eyes crinkle into crescents and reassured the girl.
"Dinner will be in a few minutes, so you should come soon," he added, then he left the room while smiling to himself, glad that the couple he had shipped since seeing them together for the first time finally had made up.
Y/N and Taehyung had seemed shocked when he had entered the room as if he had caught them while doing something forbidden, and their slightly swollen lips and their sparkling eyes full of love and warmth for each other ensured him to believe that they had kissed. And Jimin was excited to know that they were getting along again.
Happily, he skipped down the hallway, his blue eyes sparkling bright.
(Your POV)
After Jimin had closed the door behind him, the two of you were left awkwardly in the room.
"Erm..." Taehyung sheepishly started after a short while, but you interrupted him.
"Let's go having dinner!" you exclaimed, trying to sound cheerful and eager to eat.
In reality, you were just too shy to tell him that you loved him, and since Jimin had interrupted you, you failed to rebuild the confidence to confess your true feelings. You took the hand of the infatuating silver-eyed alien and quickly pulled Taehyung with you, leaving him no chance to get you to talk again.
He looked slightly disappointed but followed you without any complaints whatsoever.
The dinner was very awkward, Taehyung sitting next to you, both of you eating in silence. You felt slightly uncomfortable and wiggled on your chair the whole time while trying to concentrate on eating.
Your wiggling however stopped when Tae took your hand under the table and held it, calming you down while softly caressing your skin. The gesture meant so much to you because you had been afraid that your refusal to confess your love would put him off, and he would ignore you, but it seemed as if he was trying not to be bothered by it too much.
And you made a decision.
You would tell him that you loved him without having to worry about being interrupted by someone else.
