The soft hum of Christmas carols filled the air as Jungkook and Taehyung strolled through the bustling Christmas market. The warm glow of fairy lights danced across their faces, illuminating the stalls laden with festive trinkets, handmade crafts, and delicious treats.
Taehyung had insisted on a proper date, and after much persuasion (and one too many of Jungkook’s adorable pouts), the omega had finally agreed.
Kim Taehyung
Kim Taehyung
Look, Bunny!
Taehyung pointed excitedly at a booth selling colorful knit scarves.
Kim Taehyung
Kim Taehyung
Do you want one? You’d look so cute in that red one.
Jungkook’s cheeks flushed.
Jeon Jungkook
Jeon Jungkook
I’m fine, Taehyung. You don’t have to keep spoiling me.
Kim Taehyung
Kim Taehyung
It’s not spoiling!
Taehyung replied, his voice light but sincere.
Kim Taehyung
Kim Taehyung
It’s called being thoughtful.
Before Jungkook could argue, Taehyung picked up the scarf and draped it gently around Jungkook’s neck. His fingers lingered a moment too long, brushing against Jungkook’s skin, and the omega felt his heart skip a beat.
Kim Taehyung
Kim Taehyung
There. Perfect!
Taehyung said with a satisfied grin.
Jungkook ducked his head shyly, muttering.
Jeon Jungkook
Jeon Jungkook
Thanks. 💓
As they moved deeper into the market, the tantalizing aroma of roasted chestnuts and spiced cider filled the air.
Taehyung bought a bag of chestnuts and offered one to Jungkook, who took it hesitantly.
Kim Taehyung
Kim Taehyung
Careful, it’s hot!
Taehyung warned, but it was too late.
Jeon Jungkook
Jeon Jungkook
Ow!
Jungkook yelped, dropping the chestnut and blowing on his fingers.
Taehyung burst into laughter, his deep chuckles drawing the attention of passersby.
Kim Taehyung
Kim Taehyung
I told you, Jungkookie!
he teased, grabbing Jungkook’s hand and inspecting it.
Kim Taehyung
Kim Taehyung
You’re too impatient.
Jungkook’s lips formed a pout.
Jeon Jungkook
Jeon Jungkook
It’s not funny.
Kim Taehyung
Kim Taehyung
It’s a little funny!
Taehyung admitted with a smirk.
Kim Taehyung
Kim Taehyung
Here.
He brought Jungkook’s hand to his lips and blew on the faint redness, his warm breath sending a shiver down Jungkook’s spine.
Kim Taehyung
Kim Taehyung
There. All better!
Taehyung said, his tone playful but his eyes soft.
Jungkook’s pout faltered, replaced by a small, shy smile.
As the evening wore on, Taehyung pulled Jungkook towards a booth selling handmade ornaments.
Kim Taehyung
Kim Taehyung
Let’s get one for your tree.
he suggested.
Jungkook’s eyes lit up as he scanned the ornaments, his fingers brushing over a small, intricately carved wooden snowflake.
Jeon Jungkook
Jeon Jungkook
This one’s pretty.
Tae nodded.
Kim Taehyung
Kim Taehyung
Then it’s yours.
Jungkook started to protest, but Taehyung was already paying the vendor. He handed the ornament to Jungkook with a wink.
Kim Taehyung
Kim Taehyung
A keepsake for tonight.
Jungkook clutched the snowflake to his chest, his cheeks pink.
Jeon Jungkook
Jeon Jungkook
Thank you, Taehyung. For everything.
The highlight of the night came when they reached the center of the market, where a large Christmas tree stood tall and majestic, its lights twinkling like stars.
Jeon Jungkook
Jeon Jungkook
It's beautiful!
Jungkook whispered, his eyes wide with wonder.
Taehyung glanced at Jungkook, his gaze filled with something deeper.
Kim Taehyung
Kim Taehyung
It is! 💓
he agreed, though his eyes never left Jungkook.
Without thinking, Taehyung reached out and took Jungkook’s hand in his. The omega stiffened for a moment before relaxing, his fingers tentatively curling around Taehyung’s.
Jungkook glanced up at him, his doe eyes glimmering with nervousness.
Jeon Jungkook
Jeon Jungkook
Taehyung?
Kim Taehyung
Kim Taehyung
Hmm?
Jungkook hesitated, his voice barely above a whisper.
Jeon Jungkook
Jeon Jungkook
I… I like you. 💓
Taehyung’s heart swelled at the admission. He tightened his grip on Jungkook’s hand, a wide grin spreading across his face.
Kim Taehyung
Kim Taehyung
You have no idea how happy that makes me, Jungkookie.
Jungkook blushed furiously, looking away.
Jeon Jungkook
Jeon Jungkook
Don’t make it a big deal. 💓
Kim Taehyung
Kim Taehyung
It’s a very big deal!
ITaehyung said, his tone teasing but his eyes full of warmth.
As they stood there, hand in hand under the glow of the Christmas lights, the world around them seemed to fade away. For Jungkook, it felt like the perfect beginning to something magical.
