Palace drama

As Jungkook wore a mask, no one could see his expression. His head raised, he was still as he stared at the LED advertising board. His clear and dark pupils reflected the lights across the street and glittered like stars.

"Sir? Sir?" The shop assistant suddenly called him.

"Mm?" Jungkook turned his head only after a while and looked at the shop assistant.

The shop assistant passed the bag to him. "Your rabbit heads."

He was distracted as he took the rabbit heads. He turned and walked towards the advertising board as if pulled by an urge to be closer to it.

The shop assistant panicked. "Sir, you haven't paid yet!"

"Sorry." Jungkook returned to make payment.

After paying, he carried the rabbit heads and sprinted to the riverside. He stood behind the railing and stared at those words. His chest was burning hot and he was so stirred that he was trembling slightly. He was about to melt from being too touched; it was as if the world snowed sugar and even the breaths he took were sweet. Jungkook was certain that if he was to go for a blood test at this moment, his blood would be sweet as well.

He had the wild urge to see Taehyung immediately, to hug and kiss him.

However, at the same time, he was afraid that if he saw Taehyung right now, his tears might start falling...

The LED confession caused numerous passers-by to halt their steps and linger by the riverside with entertained looks. Besides Jungkook was a couple. The guy said to the girl, "Jungkook must have saved the galaxy in his previous life." There was envy in his voice.

Jungkook sighed in agreement. "That's right."

The couple tossed him odd glances. What a weirdo. This guy must have been single for too long that he was lonely enough to cut into strangers' conversation.

The couple held hands and left hurriedly. Jungkook stood on the riverside and called Taehyung.

"Jungkook, where are you?"

"Where are you at?"

"I'm at where we arranged to meet. Hey, don't tell me that you're not here yet? If you dare to say 'yes', I'm going to break your stupid legs. I—"

As he rambled, he turned casually and suddenly entered someone's embrace.

Taehyung did not see this person's face. However, he was familiar with its smell.

Taehyung was a little embarrassed to be hugging in public. "Jungkook, let's spare a thought for all those who are single on this street. This is their day after all..."

"Taehyung," Jungkook interrupted him. He used his chin to nuzzle Kim's neck. "I think that life has been good to me."

"It is. Your mom is a domineering CEO."

"I'm not referring to that."

Taehyung's lips curved. One side of his face resting on Jeon's chest, he gazed at the advertising board across the street and said, "Jungkook, do you know that this is the most expensive advertising board in Rain City? Because of the festival today, it's even more expensive than usual."

"I know, thank you."

"No, what I mean is..." Taehyung was suddenly a teeny weeny bit guilty. He felt that he might be one of those legendary male wastrels. "I want to inform you that there are only six won and five cents left on your card."

"I love you."

"...." Caught off guard by the confession, Taehyung forgot what he wanted to say. His mind went blank and he was dazed for half a beat. Then, he buried his thoroughly red face into the ravenette's chest quietly.
