In spite of everything, I'm getting married.

.
In the very early hours of the morning.
Kim Taehyung was on top of a pillow, an elbow propping up his head, as he sent Jeon Jungkook a message.
Kim Taehyung
Kim Taehyung
💬 "Happy Birthday 🙂"
Jeon Jungkook
Jeon Jungkook
💬 "Don’t just say that, do something to make me happy!"
Kim Taehyung
Kim Taehyung
(Rolled his eyes) 💬"It literally just became your birthday!"
Jeon Jungkook
Jeon Jungkook
💬“Don’t hesitate, act quickly!”
Kim Taehyung
Kim Taehyung
(⁠-⁠_⁠-)
Kim Taehyung
Kim Taehyung
💬“The person already gave you their warm greetings, isn’t that enough for you to be happy?”
Jeon Jungkook
Jeon Jungkook
💬“Not enough.”
Kim Taehyung
Kim Taehyung
💭'In the end, for what reason did I decide to lose my mind and agree to associate with this person?'
Kim Taehyung
Kim Taehyung
💬“Then, what gift do you want?”
Kim Taehyung
Kim Taehyung
💬“A friendly tip, my bank account has **** Won so think about your answer with this in mind.”
This time the reply was slow to come.
The message box showed that the other party was constantly editing their reply, which made Taehyung feel guarded.
Kim Taehyung
Kim Taehyung
💭'Typing for so long, how many gifts does he want?'
Kim Taehyung
Kim Taehyung
💭'You’re not actually planning on emptying my account, are you?'
Kim Taehyung
Kim Taehyung
💭'I wonder if I should backtrack, and tell him to forget about it.'
Kim Taehyung
Kim Taehyung
💭'Anyway, this won’t be the first time we tried to scam each other.'
Just as Taehyung's heart was about to shatter from the thought of his empty bank account.
Jeon Jungkook
Jeon Jungkook
💬“I don’t want money.”
Kim Taehyung
Kim Taehyung
Taehyung's heart: (⁠-⁠_⁠-⁠;⁠)⁠・⁠・⁠・
Kim Taehyung
Kim Taehyung
(Rolled his eyes) 💭 'It took you half an hour just to edit those four words?'
Jeon Jungkook
Jeon Jungkook
💬“Marry me, Kim Taehyung.”
Taehyung was stunned, his elbow slipping, causing his head to fall straight down.
Fortunately, the pillow below prevented a tragedy.
He rubbed his chin, his heart fluttering from the abrupt drop.
Kim Taehyung
Kim Taehyung
💬“Do you know what you’re saying?”
Jeon Jungkook
Jeon Jungkook
💬“I typed it word by word. So, what do you say?”
Taehyung struggled to contain his laughter.
Kim Taehyung
Kim Taehyung
💬“If I had known that this would happen, I wouldn’t have befriended you.”
Jeon Jungkook
Jeon Jungkook
💬“If you want to laugh at me, then just go ahead and do it.”
Jeon Jungkook
Jeon Jungkook
💬“Anyway, I’ve long crossed over to the enemy’s side and admitted defeat.”
Jeon Jungkook
Jeon Jungkook
💬“Damn it!”
Jeon Jungkook
Jeon Jungkook
💬“I like you. I can’t back out of these feelings anymore.”
Looking at Jungkook's self-deprecating messages, Taehyung could almost see his chagrined face.
He couldn’t help the smile that blossomed on his face.
Kim Taehyung
Kim Taehyung
💬“Say that again.”
Kim Taehyung
Kim Taehyung
💭'I feel a little perfunctory, like the online expression of 'Putting on a facade when in reality, everyone already knew that he’s dumb as hell.''
Kim Taehyung
Kim Taehyung
💬“Calm down a bit, you’re not being stupid.” 💬“After all, I like you too.”
Kim Taehyung
Kim Taehyung
💭'Although he didn’t immediately reply, with more than ten years’ experience fighting with this person;'
Kim Taehyung
Kim Taehyung
💭'(In both wills and punches), I could easily imagine the extremely dopey smile he must be wearing right now.'
Jeon Jungkook
Jeon Jungkook
💬“Taehyung I’ve wasted so many years opposing you, I refuse to continue my stupidity.”
Jeon Jungkook
Jeon Jungkook
💬“Promise to marry me.”
Kim Taehyung
Kim Taehyung
(Smile) 💬“You finally admitted that you were being stupid before.”
Kim Taehyung
Kim Taehyung
💬“But that doesn’t matter. I promise, you fool.”
Kim Taehyung
Kim Taehyung
💬“Don’t forget your passport. I’ll see you at the airport.”
Korea hadn’t passed the same-sex marriage law yet, so two men can only go abroad if they wanted to get married.
A message box showed that once again, the other person was frantically editing a message.
However, even after a long while, the message sent was still very inconsistent with the typing time.
Jeon Jungkook
Jeon Jungkook
💬“Wait for me.”
When Taehyung saw those familiar words, he couldn’t suppress the gentle sigh that escaped him.
Then he snorted.
Kim Taehyung
Kim Taehyung
💭'In the ten years we've known each other, he has said those words to me countless times.'
Kim Taehyung
Kim Taehyung
💭'But all those times in the past were said in animosity.'
Kim Taehyung
Kim Taehyung
💭'Who could anticipate that those words, said between the same two people that were once irreconcilable adversaries.'
Kim Taehyung
Kim Taehyung
💭'Who would shout 'You die, I live' to each other, would be spoken for a marriage proposal.'
.
On the way to the airport, Taehyung's mood was quite delicate.
He took out his phone and opened the messaging app to stare at the words ‘wait for me’.
Kim Taehyung
Kim Taehyung
💭'He had transferred to my high school during sophomore year.'
Kim Taehyung
Kim Taehyung
💭'And ever since then, the two of us had been continuously fighting for more than a decade.'
Kim Taehyung
Kim Taehyung
💭'Even our relatives and friends, because of our antagonistic relationship, had become two well-known circles of opposition in the city, regularly sniping at each other.'
Kim Taehyung
Kim Taehyung
💭'That was until a few years ago, when his father, the city’s richest man, was exposed in a scandal.'
Kim Taehyung
Kim Taehyung
💭'Seeing the Jeon family’s misfortune all over the newspapers along with some recent revelations made me and my childhood friend Jimin finally realize that Jungkook truly wasn’t an enemy to be blamed.'
Kim Taehyung
Kim Taehyung
💭'Though even during the reunion celebrating the 50th anniversary of our high school last year, one of the main topics everyone was reminiscing about was the legendary feud between me and him.'
Kim Taehyung
Kim Taehyung
💭'It was a classic case of 'teenage angst ruining one’s future prospects.''
Taehyung stood in the departure hall as he watched Jungkook cut through the crowd to reach him.
Despite it being hours before sunrise, Jungkook dressed casually.
He didn’t even have a suitcase, just a bag on one hand and his passport on the other.
Still, he was like a crane amongst a flock of chickens, truly dazzling.
Jeon Jungkook
Jeon Jungkook
“You’re here.”
Jungkook stopped in front of Taehyung, his face slightly pale due to his nervousness.
Despite this, his eyes were clear and resolute.
Jeon Jungkook
Jeon Jungkook
“You’re sure about this? No lingering doubts?”
