TAEHYUNG'S POV

"You both will be sleeping in Taehyung's room tonight," my mom repeated the sentence for like the third time and when I realized what she had said, I fell down on my knees and cried out.  

"Mom! Let me go back home and let Jungkook stay here. Please!" I clapped my hands together and bowed down to her. I already kissed him like minutes back and if we are going to sleep together now, I think I am going to die from overthinking.

"Nope," she refused and I cried again. I looked at my father who sighed and said, "You both can't go back because there is a heavy rain tonight and it will be very hard for you both to get back to your place."

"But it is not rain—" Suddenly a thunderous boom rattled the windows and caused the house to tremble. I ran to the window and looked outside. It wasn't even raining.

"It was just the thun—" A drop of water fell on the window, then two, then three and slowly the water from the clouds above began to pour down. I gaped at the sky from my window and realized it was a light rain and it wasn't so heavy.

"It is just a light rain. So that means I can—" The light pattering noise of the rain turned into a raging noise and made the entire view outside foggy.

"WHY?" I cried out and banged the window with my hand, "WHY DID YOU HAVE TO RAIN NOW? WHAT WERE YOU DOING IN THE MORNING AND AFTERNOON AND EVENING?! WHY COULDN'T YOU FRICKING RAIN IN THE MIDDLE OF THE NIGHT?! WHY—OW! THAT PAINS!"

I cried out when my mother twisted my ear and dragged me away from the window before I broke it from my continuous blows. She threw me on the sofa and put her hands on her hips. I knew what was coming and I was silently praying for my life. 

"Why are you so stressed about that, huh?" my mom asked, but this was a different tone, not like the one she used to use where she would look like a devil and shout till my ears broke, "You should be glad you are in here and not out there. Now both of you go and get a sound sleep. After all, you both have to wake up early for work, right? Good night."

My mom walked back to her room with my dad and shut the door close. What in the heck was that? I looked in front and saw Jungkook stifling a laugh. Why is he even laughing?

"Shall we?" he asked and I rolled my eyes at him. We both went up to my room and looked at the bed.

"I will sleep on the floor and you will sleep on the bed," I said and ran to get my extra quilt when suddenly I was thrown down on the bed with Jungkook lying on top of me.

"How about we both sleep on the bed tonight?" he asked and I shook my head. He chuckled and cupped my right cheek, "Why are you acting so weird? We have slept together so many times. I guess it wouldn't hurt to sleep one more time."

I sighed and pushed him away. I sat up and shifted to the wall, "Go and change your clothes. The night wear is in that drawer." He nodded and raced to change his clothes. I was sleepy, so I decided to hit the pillow before he comes. I remembered the flower behind my ear and got up again. I removed it and placed it in a glass of water. I watched as it floated up and down. 

I went back to the bed and laid down. I pulled the quilt over my body till my head was just popping out. 

So warm.

I heard the bathroom door open and I turned to the wall. I could feel the bed dip beside me and the quilt was raised a bit before it fell down again. I snuggled myself against the wall, but when I just did that, a pair of arms grabbed a hold of my waist and pulled me away from the hard, cold wall.

"What the—" 

"Sleep," he interrupted me and pulled me closer to him. My back was against his chest and I could feel the heat he was emitting. So warm. I turned around and snuggled against his chest for warmth.

"Wow! You are getting real comfortable," Jungkook snickered and I lightly punched his stomach.

"I want to sleep. So, good night," I mumbled and fell into a deep slumber.

"Good night, Tae."

Somewhere somewhere~

"Oh my heavenly stars! This is really annoying," a man with raven hair groaned in frustration as he ran a hand through his hair, "When will they confess?"

"Confess what?" a woman with white plated hair walked into the room. Her beautiful silky white dress swept the floor at every step she took. Even though the years pass by, she never aged and always looked as young as a girl in her twenties. And it was the same with the raven-haired man who had buried his face in his hands.

"Confess their love," he mumbled and she tilted her head in confusion. She had no clue who he was talking about and gracefully walked towards him.

"Who?" she asked hoping he would give her a clear answer.

"Them." That was all he said. She took a deep breath and exhaled out to calm herself. She smiled and suddenly, whacked his head with a huge hammer that had appeared out of nowhere.

"When I ask 'who', you don't say 'them', you useless creature," she barked at him and he held his hands in front of him, surrendering to her demonic aura.

"Sorry for that," he apologized and the hammer disappeared, "I was talking about that hickey boy and your crush."

"My crush?" she questioned him and he nodded, "Wait, is it that brownie boy?"

"Uhmm...yeah?" he shrugged at her and she squealed with joy as she remembered the beautiful face.

"He is so handsome! My beautiful prince charming, Jungkook will one day save me from this horrible prison and take me away with him," she began to swoon as she dreamt of their encounter. The man just face-palmed himself and sighed. Did she really call this place a prison?

"Wait, you were talking about him and his boyfriend, right?" she asked him and he nodded, "What about them?"

"Apparently, they kissed under a—"

"THEY KISSED!? WHY DIDN'T YOU CALL ME?!" she yelled at him and began to throw infinite number of hammers and even sharp knives at him as he painfully dodged them all. 

"I...am...sorry!" he cried out as one of the hammers hit his stomach. He fell down and clutched his stomach while the lady crossed her arms in front of her chest and scowled at him.

"Next time when they kiss, call me," she said and he nodded, "But that is pretty creepy. Why were you watching them kiss?"

"I wasn't. I was just looking around the place when I saw them both near the tree," he said and she nodded. Deep inside, she didn't believe a single thing he said.

"So did they finally marry?" she asked and the man sighed, irritated by the fact he had already talked about it in the starting.

"No, they didn't. They are still going round and round the bush. And seeing that, it is pretty frustrating. Even my black hair is turning gray," he said and pointed at a black strand of hair which was slowly turning gray, "They make me so stressed."

"I can't believe you are stressing out because of that," she said and sat down beside him, "If they do end up going in separate paths, I am going to become a human and take away my prince."

"You are creepy," he shook his head and continued, "And you also know that falling in love with humans is totally forbidden."

"I know that silly," she giggled and punched him in the shoulder, "It will be nice to fall in love at least for one time."

"Fall in love, you say," a new voice spoke and they turned around to see a younger boy walking towards them. Their eyes grew wide with shock when they saw it was one of the supreme ones, "When you fall in love, there are chances you might break your heart. So you should be careful about it. Love is the most dangerous thing in the world."

They hurriedly got up and bowed down to him as he took a seat on the couch. He nodded and beckoned them to sit down. They slowly sat down and awkwardly looked at one another. 

"So, were you both talking about those two men who caused me to become like this?" he asked them and they slowly nodded. He sighed and pinched the bridge of his nose with his fingers, "Thanks to those two I had to be reborn again. Who knew that just by cursing or swearing can result in your soul becoming impure? To reborn is such a pain."

"You should have just calmed down like us," the lady spoke and he raised an eyebrow at her.

"You mean I should have banged my head on the wall and stain it red or I should run around and scream at the top of my voice," he said and they turned red from embarrassment, "I didn't expect the confession to happen like that. It was too...sudden."

"It was," the man nodded and continued, "but still they love each other even to the end."

"Yes, they do," the lady smiled and clasped her hands together in front of her chest, "I wish for them to confess their loves and be together. And I also wish for them to have a happy ending."

"Don't waste your wishes for that," the younger one laughed but stopped when he saw her seriously praying. 

She opened her eyes and smiled at him, "I would be glad to waste my wishes for them. After all, they didn't deserve to have a future like this."

"Exactly," the man agreed and sighed when he remembered the incident that happened seven years back, "But to hide a secret from the one you love, is it good?"

"If it is something that has to be forgotten, then it is good," the younger boy said and held out his palm in front of him. A faint light appeared and colored itself to an image of a cherry blossom, "The past has to be forgotten and buried underneath. Whatever happened to that hickey boy was indeed horrible. It was way horrible than a demon corrupting an angel. That poor boy learnt life in the harshest way possible."

They nodded as they recalled the time when they snooped around the files containing Taehyung's past and wept for the poor boy. It was heart-breaking to know that he somehow survived and moved on. In normal cases, people would have forgotten how to live.

"What do you think will happen when his lover gets to know about it?" the man asked to the younger boy who was twirling the cherry blossom, which had magically come to life, in between his fingers.

"That, I don't know. It all depends on how their future goes," he said and stopped twirling the flower and looked at it, "This flower somewhat represents their love for another."

They were confused when he said that. He smiled as he held out the flower and watched as it danced and twirled on his palm, "You know how they fell in love, right? At the starting it was all fake, but when they began to get closer did they realize that they loved each other. But that day, they left one another and moved on their own path, hoping to forget the other. Was that possible? No it wasn't. Every single time they thought about each other and a part of them still loved the other. They say, 'You can never stay angry with someone if you love them a lot.' That means, their love was eternal.

"Neither of them wished to separate. That is why, they secretly longed for one another. This flower too, has lived really long. A Sakura (cherry blossom) has a shorter life-span, but yet this one stayed longer than the others. Same like their love. The harsh obstacles did not waver their love. They trusted one another and believed them. Even though, one of them blamed the other for lying, he soon realized it was wrong and he was forgiven. 

"More you try to drift them apart, the more closer they become. It was even impossible for them to ignore each other."

The man and the lady gaped at him and watched as the flower in his hand brightened and vanished. He looked at them and laughed when he saw their reaction, "Shocked, right?"

"I guess," the lady said and the man nodded. 

"One question," the man said and the younger one nodded for him to tell, "Why did the flower fall?"

"Why did the flower fall?" the younger one repeated and smiled, "Because Jungkook slammed Taehyung too hard."
