Don't Let Go

It's You

Yuri saw a note on her desk. It’s from Taehyung. She read the note. What’s he up to? Where is he by the way?

Note from Taehyung: “Hi Yuri. I need to tell you something. Meet me after school. Cant wait to see you…”

Taehyung’s POV (earlier that day)

My heart is beating really fast just thinking about it. I decided to confess to Yuri today, finally!. These past few days I was thinking of doing it, but I get scared every single time. Ive never been this nervous my whole life, not even when performing in front of a lot of people. But this is different, Yuri is different. I gathered all the courage that I have, wrote Yuri a note and placed it on her desk then went to “our place”. I started preparing with the help go Jungkook” (hehehehe). 

It's already half past 6. It’s almost time. You can do this Taehyung! Fighting!

I saw Yuri waiting for me on our meeting place. I can literally feel the pounding of my heart. Aaaaaaah!!!!…Calm down… I took a deep breath before going to Yuri.

Taehyung: Hey, Yuri (grinning to hide my nervousness). Are you ready?

Yuri: Hi Taetae, what’s up? You didn’t go to class? Are you sick?

Taehyung: Hmmm. No Im not. Just did something. Shall we go?

Yuri: Where?

Taehyung: Its a surprise(smiling shyly)… Do you trust me?

Looking puzzled, Yuri just nod. Taehyung pulled out a bandana and wrapped it around Yuri’s eyes

Yuri: Hey what are you doing Taehyung?

Taehyung: I thought you trust me??!

Yuri: Yeah, but…

Taehyung: No buts.. 

Taehyung led Yuri and after several minutes, they came to a stop. 

Taehyung: Are you ready?!! (Deep breath)

Yuri: Y-yeah.. I guess

Taehyung removed the bandana from Yuri’s eyes. Yuri was shocked on what she saw.

A picnic mat was laid on the grass surrounded by electric candles forming a heart shape. Chips, sodas and a guitar on the side.

A nearby tree was decorated with fairy lights. Yuri cannot believe what she’s seeing. Everything was just romantic. Confused, she turn around to face Taehyung.

Taehyung stood still a few meters away from Yuri. Staring at her intensely.  Slowly walking towards her, not losing the eye contact. Only inches apart from Yuri, Taehyung continuously stared at her. 

Taehyung: Hey, please don’t feel weird or scared towards me. I don’t mean any harm, and I know you know that. (Deep sigh-oh lord please help me… whew!) Hmmmm (still staring at her while biting his lips out of nervousness)

Tae looked down and held Yuri's hands then stared again before confessing

Taehyung: I don’t really know how or when it started… I never plan it…It just happened. I just felt it. Everyday that Im with you, every time we talk, my feelings for you just gets deeper. I don’t exactly know how you feel about me, but I don’t care. All I know is that… I… really… like… you, Yuri.  I think, Im beginning to fall in love with you. And Im hoping that you’ll give me the chance to show you that. 

Yuri: … (still processing everything that Taehyung said. She just can’t believe that Taehyung has feelings for her.)

Taehyung: hmmmm…Im not expecting you to answer right now. But please, think about it Yuri. (Yuri still did not respond). You’re making me nervous, Yuri. Please say something (Put his both hands on Yuri’s shoulders and shook them a little)

Yuri: Hmmm.. aaah.. I-I don’t know what to say right now. Still a bit shocked, I guess. I didn’t expect that you would like me… You know, you’re Taehyung of BTS - popular, good looking… most of the girls here in campus are in love with you… Me on the other hand, Im just me. Actually, Im beginning to like you too, Tae. But Im scared (looked up at Taehyung, teary eyed)

Taehyung hugged Yuri as they both begin to cry. 

Taehyung: Hey, please don’t cry. And please don’t be scared. I know this is going to be tough, but let's work through this together. I know we can  make it.  (He wiped the years on Yuri’s face, kissed her forehead then hugged her again) Its going to be alright. Trust me, oK?

Yuri: I trust you. (While hugging Taehyung back)

Sweet music played on the background

Taehyung: Hi Miss, may I have this dance?

Yuri: Sure Mister! 

Taehyung: (singing the song to Yuri) Baby I'm falling head over heels... Looking for ways to let you know just how I feel... I wish I was holding you by my side ... I wouldn't change a thing 'cause finally it's real

You're the right time at the right moment... You're the sunlight, keeps my heart going

Oh, know when I'm with you, I can't keep myself from falling

Right time at the right moment... It's you...

Yuri... I still can't believe that this is happening. I never thought I would feel this way for you. And I can't believe that you also feel the same for me. I am just so happy right now.

Yuri: I'm also happy right now Tae Tae.  Oh look, a falling star! (Closed her eyes and made a wish. Taehyung did the same)

Taehyung: So, what did you wish for?

Yuri: Hmm. I wished that you will always be by my side. :)

Taehyung: I think you don't need a falling star for that cause I won't go anywhere far from you.

Yuri: How about you? What did you wish for?

Taehyung: Hmmm. Nothing. I just thanked Him because he has given me the one I really wanted... you.
