The night's grand party
___
Taehyung waits as the carriage disappears out of his sight. Sadness evident on his face, he decided to go inside the mansion dejected, head hanging low as he continues to swipe the floor. He badly wants to attend, but he doesn't even have anything fancy to wear.
His stomach grumbles in protest. He forgot that he hadn't eaten any for the past hours, because all he did was to clean and dust off every bit of dirt inside this mansion- where he can't even feel at home.
Tiredly, he rested the mop near the wall and walks to the kitchen, just to drink something and continue with his work. He barely got any time to eat at all since he needs to finish his task.
There he saw, Seokjin, washing the dishes and humming to himself. He noticed Taehyung's presence and he smiles, "Oh hello there Tae, please sit down and eat." Taehyung forced back a smile, almost looking like a wince.
Seokjin noticed that something is off, "Why are you sad?" He asked carefully.
Taehyung huffs and leans on the kitchen counter, beside Seokjin, "I want to go to the kingdom, I want to see how beautiful it is to experience being in a grand party... but I can't. I have nothing to wear and I need to finish the chore my stepfathe- mother left me. Or else, he'll lock me up in the basement forever." He felt his tears starting to form in his eyes again.
Seokjin stops from washing the dishes. He dried up his hands and cupped Taehyung's soft, smooth and acne-free cheeks. (heh)
"Come with me, my dear." He said as he walks out, Taehyung's confused but followed him otherwise.
They're now in the beautiful garden, thanks to Taehyung and Hoseok, who waters the flowers everyday.
"Why are we here?" Taehyung asked. And that's when Seokjin stands in front of him, and suddenly gets blinded by the light coming from him.
He closed his eyes for a moment, and soon after, he opened his eyes slowly, only to see Seokjin with butterfly wings, floating in the air, and surrounded by the pink aura. He's also wearing an elegant pink shiny dress which is designed with diamonds and bits of golden stones.
Taehyung's too shocked and he only stands there in awe, mouth agape.
He have known Seokjin for years, and he's shocked to see him like this only now. "W-What are you?" Taehyung finally speaks, but still captivated with Seokjin who looked like a goddess in his eyes.
But then, he suddenly remembered something. "Oh wait, is this some kind of cinderella--"
"Oh yes, yes it is." Taehyung keeps his mouth shut.
"I am your fairy godmother, Taehyung," he said, smiling down at him. "For the past years, I saw how obedient you are despite all of the violence you've overcome. As a reward, I'll help you and grant your wish."
Taehyung's eyes sparkled as he jumps excitedly, but suddenly, he remembers his chores. "B-But.. I still have something to do.."
"Don't worry about it. I'll take care of that, leave the rest to me." he unzips his small pink shoulder bag printed with Cinderella's face, and pulls out a long pink spatula.
"How the fuck did that even fit?" Taehyung hisses in pain when Seokjin smacks his head with the pink spatula.
"Don't curse, you piece of shit."
"But you fucking just—ouch!" Taehyung shouts when he suddenly receives a smack on his head again.
"Stop saying vulgar words, my child, and let me change you into a lot more beautiful man."
Seokjin puts his pink spatula in the air. Suddenly, a wind starts to blow towards their direction and Taehyung saw how the glitters form in the air (what) swirls along with the leaves and flower petals. That's the time the fairy godmother points the spatula to Taehyung, making him close his eyes again because of the blinding light.
Everything happened so fast, until the light's no longer there, Taehyung slowly opens his eyes, he suddenly felt uncomfortable with what he's wearing.
"Look at your gown." Seokjin said. He's confused at first, but decided to look at what he's wearing and he screams out of fear.
"What's wrong? Do you like it?"
"Why am I wearing a freaking gown?!" Taehyung shouts, looking at his balloon off-shoulder blue gown. He also touched his head and gasp when he felt that there's a small tiara.
Meanwhile, Seokjin looks at him with hands clutched on his chest, like a proud mother. "You're so beautiful."
"What? What beautiful?! I'm not planning to dress up like this, please change it!" Taehyung cries out as he runs to Seokjin, tugging his silky gown while still floating in the air.
He also realized that thankfully, he's not wearing heels. He lets go of Seokjin and pulls his gown up, and he's wearing a blue converse. "Why blue converse?!"
Seokjin warmly smiles at him. "So that you can still walk gracefully, Tae. I know you wouldn't want wearing heels—"
"I don't want to wear a gown too!" He exclaimed, really frustated.
But Seokjin acts like he didn't heard anything because he's really happy with his work. He looks to the other side and swirls his pink spatula, making the gates open automatically. He pulls out a tomato from his shoulder bag and throws it out, it becomes larger and it turns into a tomato carriage.
Taehyung is again, amazed. Seokjin calls Hoseok and seconds later, he appears.
Before Hoseok could even scream out of fear, Seokjin already turns him into a white unicorn; with pink horn, pink horseshoes, pink tail, and pink hair at the back.
Hoseok, now a beautiful unicorn, still screams. But stopped when Seokjin smacks his mouth with his pink spatula.
Seokjin moves his spatula and places Hoseok at the front of the tomato carriage, and made some roots move so that the roots are tied up to Hoseok's chest and stomach.
Seokjin puts back his pink spatula to his shoulder bag and claps, "Yay, everything is done!" He then turns to Taehyung, smiling, while Taehyung only crosses his arms and pouts.
"You're not done yet. Change my clothes into a suit or something—"
"Hush," Seokjin said, index finger infront of Taehyung's lips, "Before that, I have to tell you something. This magic only lasts until 12 o' clock in the midnight. So, before 12 o' clock comes, you should be already heading home."
Taehyung nods, shocked.
"Okay, now, go!" Seokjin pushes him to the tomato carriage that automatically opens.
"Wait! How about my go—"
"Taehyung! Enjoy the party while you still have the time! It's now past 8 o' clock, hurry!" After hearing that, Taehyung heads straight inside the carriage and it closes.
Seokjin then turns to face Hoseok, whose now smiling, showing his teeth because he's happy with his appearance right now. (pls imagine a smiling unicorn)
"Oh my Hoseok, that's so creepy." Seokjin said dramatically, "I order you to safely drive Taehyung to the palace." Hoseok nods, still smiling, and starts to run with the tomato carriage following along.
