The next day~

JUNGKOOK'S POV

"New year is coming soon, but I don't know what to plan for Taehyung," I hummed in sorrow as my palm supported my chin on the table.

"Is this going to be a regular thing?" Suga grumbled with annoyance as he snuggled against the velvety seat in my office, "Why do we have to come and eat and sleep here every time you want to do something for Taehyung? I bet you are going to call us here again for Valentine's too."

"I don't need to worry about my new year gift," Yoongi smirked and leaned back on the couch, "I can't wait to see Jimin in his new underwear."

"SHUT UP!" Jimin yelled and threw an empty sprite can at his face. He groaned, but didn't do or say anything to Jimin.

"I am sorry, but I need your help," I got up and paced around the room, knocking down the empty cans of sprite and pizza boxes which littered the floor, "I want it to be special."

"Go give him a kiss," Suga scoffed. I face-palmed myself and shook my head. 

"Buy him a ring," Jimin mumbled as he bit into his pizza slice.

"And ask him to marry me! Wonderful idea!" I clapped with joy and was smacked upside the head by Jin who shook his head, rejecting my idea.

"He just asked you to be his boyfriend and you are already jumping into marriage? Take it slow, idiot!" I apologized and again began to walk around the room while the others munched on their pizza slices.

"By the way," Namjoon interrupted the silence and asked me, "Where is Taehyung?"

"Minho wanted to wish him and give him his gift because he couldn't give it yesterday, so he called him over to his house," I said. 

"Minho? Is that Taehyung's boyfriend?" Yoongi asked and received a slap on the head from Jimin and a glare from me. Was that on purpose or he has no clue that me and Taehyung are dating?

"Just by him a luxurious bed and sleep on it all day," Suga mumbled and I shook my head. That's what you want, hyung.

"Oh wait!" Hobi raised his sprite can and gulped down his food, "How about taking him out of town? You know, you guys can go and stay out in the night and admire the stars or something like that. You won't be able to do that in a city. You get what I am saying?"

"That's...that's cool!" I grinned with joy and hugged my hyung who patted my head, "Thanks a lot, you guys!"

"No problem," Jimin gave me a thumbs up and I was already planning what to do. This new year will be the best for Taehyung and for me. I looked up and saw the others already dozing off in my office. Seriously? Why the heck do they make my office place as their house? They come here, eat and then sleep. Well, I usually ask them for their help, so I guess it is fair enough to let them trash my place.

"I asked Leishi." I stared up at Namjoon who came and sat beside me with a pizza slice in his hand.

"Asked her what?"

"About that day seven years ago," he chewed on his pizza slice while my hand clenched into fists, "She said that she was out with her friends, shopping."

"So, it wasn't her?" He nodded and I leaned back on my chair, "It must be someone who knew I was going to meet him."

"What about your father? Do you think he could have done it?"

"Nope. My father came to Seoul the next week. That week when I was rejected, he had some important clients to meet, so he wouldn't ditch his work for some romantic affair between two guys."

"I will try my best to find out who it is," Namjoon got up and I sighed. Before he left, I grabbed his wrist and he halted in his steps, "Thanks a lot, hyung." I smiled at him as he ruffled my hair.

"No problem, kiddo!" he winked and went back to the dozing group.

Suddenly my phone rang and I picked it up to see it was my Taehyung calling. I smiled as I answered the call.

"Hello, my cutie chocolate," I said and I could hear him giggle from the other side of the call.

"Shut up! You are making me blush and it's embarrassing," he mumbled.

"I can embarrass you more than that."

"Let me come back to the office and kill you, you pig!" he yelled from the other side and I laughed. Suddenly, I realized what he had said.

"Wait, you...you finished talking with Minho?" I asked him and I heard him sigh from the other side.

"Yes. I did. I am coming back now," he replied and I looked around at the sleepy people in my office. Oh shit! I got to clean this place, "Why do you not want me to come back?"

"When did I say that?" I nervously chuckled and kicked Jin's leg to wake him up, "Well, take all the time you need. I will be waiting here for you, my love."

"Okie! Bye!" he cut the call and I yelled at the top of voice, "GET OUT!"

They all woke up in a sudden and the Min twins glared at me. I hurriedly picked up the empty cans of sprite and tossed them in a  trash bag.

"Why did you shout so loud?" Jimin yawned and blinked around, probably wondering where he was.

"Taehyung is coming back to the office," I replied and began to pile up the empty pizza boxes.

"So?" Suga asked as he stretched his arms.

"I don't want Taehyung to know that—" My words were suddenly cut off when the office's door opened and walked in a surprised Taehyung. How did he get here so fast?! He looked at all of us and then his eyes rested on me holding a huge trash bag to dump the pizza boxes into.

"Uhmm...I—"

"TAEHYUNG!" Jimin interrupted me and jumped on Taehyung. He managed to hold them both and giggled when Jimin whispered something into his ears. I raised an eyebrow in confusion when his eyes flickered over to mine and there was this weird, suspicious aura in them.

"Hey! Get down Jimin or else I am going to rip off Tae's arms!" Yoongi scowled at the two best friends. They laughed at Yoongi's jealousy as Jimin got off of Taehyung and ran to his lover.

"So is it true that you are going to take me out for New year?" Taehyung asked me and my jaw fell down with shock. He got to know?!

"How did you...JIMIN! YOU WORTHLESS PIECE OF SHIT!" I balled my fist at him as he innocently giggled. Tch! What an annoying guy!

"Anyways, if you hadn't told me now, I would have gone with my parents for celebrating New year. At least now I have an excuse to bunk my dad's cooking lessons."

"He cooks bad?" I asked him and he slightly nodded. 

"So...uhmm...when are we going?" he asked me as he fidget with his fingers, a habit which was common whenever he felt shy or embarrassed. I smiled as I ruffled his smooth, silky hair.

"How about we go now?" I asked him and he nodded. So I dragged him out of the office, ignoring the cries and shouts from the rest of the gang and forgetting about the appointment I had in an hour. I dragged him to my car and we both sat in as I rode all the way to our favorite spot.

***

It took us two hours to reach our destination. It was the hill which I had dragged Taehyung to before when we had come here for a school trip. The huge rock was in the same spot as we had last seen it years back. Even the tree was beside it, but its branches had grown a lot and had extended over the rock and it looked it was almost covering it. 

We sat on the rock and stared at the sky above. Unlike seven years back when Taehyung was still oblivious to my feelings, we were now holding hands and enjoying each others presence.

For hours we watched the sun slowly set down. The stars which were hidden in the sky all came out one by one and started to twinkle at us. The full moon had emerged from its hiding place and blessed the beautiful world with its dull light. Even though it was dull, it was bright enough for me to see Taehyung's face shining under the sky.

"Remember when you left me on this rock alone?" Taehyung suddenly asked and I nodded, chuckling at the memory of his scared face and his constant yells to bring him back down, "I was supposed to kill you that day for me leaving me behind."

"Even if you killed me, my ghost will haunt you forever," I grinned and he giggled. We fell silent again, watching the sky and counting the stars even though we knew that there were countless of them scattered in the sky.

"Uhmm...Jungkook, can I ask you something?" I nodded, "Can we keep this a secret from people? Our relationship?"

I looked from the corner of my eye to see Taehyung looking worried. I don't blame him for asking me that because I was still yet to find out who exactly forced him to break up with me. I smiled and patted his head as he turned around to see what I had to say.

"If you want to keep it as a secret, I don't mind," I leaned against his shoulder and sighed, "But don't blame me when someone catches us kissing."

"Then don't forget to lock the door," he giggled as his fingers played with my hair. I sighed and closed my eyes to enjoy the familiar scent of his. I fell deeper and deeper into the darkness as his chocolatey scent filled the insides of my mind.

***

"WAKE UP, BULLDOZER OR ELSE I AM GOING TO THROW YOU DOWN THE CLIFF!" I woke up immediately to see a pissed off Taehyung with a sore shoulder. I chuckled and asked him, "What did I do?"

"You slept on me for more than an hour," he scowled and looked in front. I sighed and wrapped an arm around his shoulder, bringing him closer to me.

"I am sorry for sleeping on you," I made a cute face at him to forgive me and in an instant, the adorable frowning face changed into my favorite smile. I looked at my phone and realized it was only a minute for new year to start. Oh my gosh! How long did I sleep?!

"Only a minute," Taehyung whispered and stared at the sky, "And the new year will begin."

"Yeah," I looked at the sky and stared at the infinite number of stars which were gazing at us. So far away in the dark space and yet, they still shine so bright. I took out my phone and set the count down.

39...38...37...

"Jungkook, what would you wish for this new year?" Taehyung asked me as a smile crept onto my face.

"I already got what I want."

"What was that?"

"You."

30...29...28...

"If I go bankrupt or if I lose all my money when Godzilla attacks Seoul, would you still love me?" I asked him. He placed a hand on my cheek and brought his forehead to mine.

"I didn't fall in love with your money, I fell in love with your stupidity." He received a whack on his shoulder from me as he laughed in that sweet, melodious voice.

"Stupidity or my sexy personality?" I smirked and he rolled his eyes at me.

"I still go with stupidity."

19...18...17...

"I want a dog," Taehyung suddenly said and I raised a brow at him. What in the name of hell was he talking about? He turned towards me and repeated, "I want a dog for new year."

"And why do you want a dog?" I asked him.

"It will be like a companion for me. I will shower it with my love like a mother does to her baby and—"

"No," I interrupted him and slept in his lap. He scowled and poked my cheek, "Why not?"

"I don't want to get jealous of a dog."

9...8...7...

"5...4...3...2...1...HAPPY NEW YEAR!" we both yelled as we jumped on the rock and hugged each other. The nearby town had set off the fireworks and we gaped at the stunning lights lighting up the dark sky. The vibrant colors of the fireworks looked like a flower blooming with brightness and grace in the dark. 

It was a new beginning for everyone out there. I stared at Taehyung as his twinkling eyes reflected the fireworks. I smiled as I reached out my hand to caress his cheek. He turned to me and smiled his boxy smile.

But who would have thought that our beginning would soon turn into a hunt and chase game. This was indeed the beginning, but the beginning of our troubles.
