Jungkook looks at the campus in awe. All the time, cramming in high school has finally paid off, and he is ready for a new chapter in his life to unfold. Surely life won't be dull here.Jungkook walks towards the entrance dragging along his luggage. He wonders who he will be sharing a room with for the rest of his university life. Jungkook finds it hard meeting new people. He tells himself to stay true to his new year's resolution and put in the effort to make new friends."Hi, my name is Jeon Jungkook; I'm a first-year student and was wondering where I can go to collect my timetable and keys for my room?" He asks the lady at the reception."You came to the right place. Just give me a moment." The lady disappears out the back.Jungkook looks around the room, fiddling with the handle of his luggage. He hopes the dormitory is close by since he has been dragging around his luggage all morning."Okay, so here is your timetable and this is your card-key for your room. Your room is in building C, 2nd floor, room 27," the lady says, handing him the key."Oh, thank you." Jungkook takes the key and bows his head."Good luck on your first day, kid."Jungkook makes his way to his dorm after grabbing a foldout map from the brochure rack. When he arrives at his room, he hesitates before opening the door.What if his roommate isn't welcoming?The door swings wide open. There standing at the entrance is a boy—a little shorter than Jungkook himself. He has cute chubby cheeks and a huge wide grin on his face."Oh! You must be my new roommate!" The boy enthusiastically says. "My name is Park Jimin. You are?""I-um, I'm Jeon Jungkook. Nice to meet you." Jungkook is surprised he managed to get his greeting out after the abrupt introduction Jimin gave him."Sorry but I already claimed this side of the room and I might have put some stuff in your closet because I have no room for all my clothes! I hope you are okay with that," Jimin says, pouting slightly."Oh-um yeah that is fine. I don't have much on me anyway," Jungkook says, scratching the back of his head."If we are the same size, we can share clothes. I'm sure we are going to become good friends."Jungkook starts to unpack his stuff feeling happy that his roommate is so welcoming, though he might have to get used to his high energy."I work at the cafe across the road. You should pop in after your classes finish," Jimin offers."Sure, I would love to." ☕️ Jungkook sighs as he looks out at the sports field through the window. He is envious of the people who are passionate about their major. Jungkook doesn't mind majoring law since that's what his mother wants, and he feels like he must fulfil her wishes.“Don’t forget to buy your textbooks. I can’t keep printing out spare pages each week. Think about the trees you guys are wasting,” the lecturer says. “And I know, they can be expensive. I’ll send links via email if I find good prices. And don’t forget, you can always buy used.”Jungkook looks at his case study books—that cost him the equivalent of his entire rent for the month—and sighs. He has worked so hard to get into this university, and now that he is here, he shouldn’t complain. He packs up his books and heads out of his lecture.“You’re all dismissed, see you guys tomorrow,” the lecturer says, gathering his papers on the lecture stand.Jungkook follows in the lecture’s lead and starts to pack his things. The first day is now done, and he has made little to no progress in the social department. At least he has Jimin.Speaking of Jimin, Jungkook decides to follow up on Jimin's invitation, and visit him at the cafe.As he enters the cafe, he looks for Jimin across the counter but he is nowhere in sight. He wonders if it's the right place. Surely this is the right cafe. It's the only one that fits the description Jimin described."You look a bit lost there. May I take your order?" A well-proportioned guy approaches the cash register with a small smile on his face—a smile that punches Jungkook in the gut.Jungkook frantically looks anywhere but the handsome guy's face. He suddenly finds the cash register in front of him quite intriguing."The menu is on the board behind me. If you are having trouble deciding on what you want, I could give you some suggestions?" He says with the cute little smile still present on his face."C-Can I have... um," Jungkook quickly looks up at the board and orders the first thing he sees. "A long black."—What the hell is a long black?"Sure. One long black coming up." The guy says after receiving Jungkook’s payment. "Your name is?"Jungkook looks up at the barista’s face startled. Why does he want to know my name?"It's so I can write it on the cup, which helps me keep track of which order is yours." The barista chuckles."Oh." Jungkook awkwardly laughs. "My name is Jungkook."Jungkook watches the barista write his name on the cup. He loses himself in a train of thoughts about the guy then realises he should probably move aside for the next customer."Jungkook! You came!" Jimin excitedly shouts across the room as he comes out from the back door holding a crate of milk.Jungkook awkwardly waves at Jimin from the side.“This crate is so heavy,” Jimin whines in pain, lifting it up onto the counter. “Didn’t think you would actually come.”“Why would I not?” Jungkook smiles, side glancing the barista who is making his coffee."Long black for Jungkook." The barista holds out the coffee for Jungkook.“Thank you, uh?” Jungkook looks into the barista’s eye’s waiting for him to respond with his name."Throw in a cookie for him! He is my new roommate." Jimin chimes, interrupting the moment.The barista picks out a cookie from the display and puts it in a brown paper bag."Thank you," Jungkook repeats, as he takes the bag with a slight blush arising on his cheeks. He starts to feel his hand burn from the hot takeaway cup. He panic walks over to a table so he can relieve his hand from the coffee cup.Sitting down, Jungkook takes a long sigh. He quite likes the ambience of the cafe. The bitterness startles Jungkook as he takes a sip of the long black, so, he decides to shove a few sugar packets into it. Jungkook cringes as he takes a second sip.He forces the drink down anyway because he doesn't want the cute barista to think he doesn't like his coffee. Jungkook grabs the cookie, thinking he might have more success with it. He takes a bite and is mesmerised by the taste. Jungkook daydreams about the cute barista personally choosing the cookie for him. Maybe that is why it tastes so great."Wow, it looks like you are making love to the cookie," Jimin says, sitting across from Jungkook. "I just finished my shift so we can walk to the dorm together.""Okay. Let me quickly finish my coffee," Jungkook says, downing the rest of it—with much struggle. "Okay, let's go," Jungkook says, taking one last glance at the cute barista. He somehow feels he won't be getting much sleep tonight.☕️

----- CHAPTER BREAK -----

"Jungkook wake up," Jimin whispers into Jungkook's ear while poking his side. "It's time for you to get ready for class."Jungkook slowly flutters his eyes open then jolts up. "What time is it?!""9 in the morning. I thought I would wake you up instead of leaving you here." Jimin says chuckling."I could barely sleep last night." Jungkook sighs.He couldn't get the barista out of his head last night. He slaps his cheeks to stop himself from thinking about it again."I heard you talking in your sleep." Jimin giggles."What? Did I say anything embarrassing?""I went to the toilet, and when I came back, you were talking about ordering coffee in your sleep.""That's all?" Jungkook sighs in relief."Sounds like you're hiding something." Jimin snorts."No, not at all!" Jungkook says flustered."Alright, I believe you," Jimin says in a slightly sarcastic voice."Anyways I'm going to get ready." Jungkook heads off to the shower.He turns the water on and gets in. He sighs, leaning his head back. "Why can't I get him out of my head?"☕️"Professor Seokjin! Sorry for being late!" Jungkook says out of breath."It's fine. It's only the 2nd day. Just make sure you are on time for the next classes," Seokjin says calmly."It won't happen again, sir," Jungkook replies embarrassed. The entire classroom's eyes areon him now and its making Jungkook fluster.Seokjin nods. "Just take a seat next to Jiyeon."Jungkook makes his way over to his seat and gets his books out. He hopes that he can pay attention to the lecture. Jungkook got rid of his thoughts about the cute barista in the shower. Because of that, he was late for class."It's weird that you are late to Professor Seokjin's lecture. I could never miss a minute," The girl next to him sighs staring dreamingly at Seokjin. "Oh, by the way, the name is Jiyeon.""Um, hey..." Jungkook says as a chill goes down his spine. "What page are we on?""Page 27," Jiyeon says while looking at Seokjin still.Jungkook flips open the textbook to page 27. "Thanks."☕️"Hey, do you want to come to eat lunch with me in the cafeteria?" Jiyeon offers."Sure," Jungkook replies, thinking he has to put effort into making new friends.As they walk into the cafeteria, Jimin spots Jungkook out in the distance and shouts out, "Jungkook! Over here! Come sit with us.""Is he your friend?" Jiyeon asks."Yeah. That's my roommate." Jungkook replies nervously since the whole cafeteria is looking his direction now because of a certain someone.Jungkook arrives at the table with his food and looks over at Jimin with a questioning look asking Jimin to introduce him to the guy sitting across the table."Oh! By the way, this is Hoseok." Jimin motions his hands towards Hoseok."Hi, nice to meet you. Jimin has told me all about you." Hoseok says with a big smile.Jungkook smiles back and shakes Hoseok's hand. "This is Jiyeon. We have a class together."Jiyeon introduces herself politely. "It's nice to meet you all.""Hoseok is a dance major just like me. Do you dance Jungkook? If so, you should consider joining the dance club! We need more people to sign up," Jimin says enthusiastically."Maybe, I will. I never involved myself in clubs during high school because I had no time," Jungkook says, thinking over the offer."Crap! I need to finish my lunch and head off to work," Jimin says while attempting to down his sandwich in record speed."I don't know how you manage to juggle work and university Jimin," Hoseok says, worriedly."It's fine! I have a free period, so it's in my availability," Jimin assures. He gets up and packs his bag. "You should come to the cafe after class again, Jungkook. We can walk to the dorms together." He says before saying his farewells to everyone at the table.☕️Classes are over. Jungkook leaves the campus and heads straight to the cafe. The scent of coffee hits his senses as he walks in. He wonders why the smell of coffee smells so much better than the taste. Over the counter, he spots the guy he's been thinking about all morning. He finds it a little embarrassing that he managed to develop a crush on some random guy who probably doesn't even remember his name."Hey what can I get for you- oh! Jungkook right? Was it a long black today as well?""Uh-yes!" Jungkook says startled. The barista remembered his name, and he just can't believe it. He tells himself it means nothing to calm down.The barista smiles at him. His smile was blinding. It was the most beautiful smile Jungkook had ever laid his eyes on."Alright take a seat, and I will bring it out for you since it's not too busy today," The barista says, still showing off that boxy smile.Jungkook heads over to the booth he sat at last time. He sits nervously waiting for the barista to come over with his coffee. There is no way he could even look into his eyes now without blushing.The barista makes his way over with Jungkook's coffee and a bag which presumably has a cookie in it. When Jungkook notices the bag, he looks up at the barista's face in protest. "Y-you didn't have to put in the cookie.""It's on me. I noticed last time you took a liking to it," The barista croons with his smooth, deep voice.Jungkook thanks the barista and lets him go back to his duties. He looks at the coffee cup where his name is, but he notices a heart drawn right after it. That's it. Jungkook can die happily now. If the barista wasn't everything to him before, he definitely is now."Are you going to stare at your coffee or drink it?" Jimin says, sliding into the booth.Jungkook snaps out of his thoughts about the barista and looks up at Jimin. "I almost forgot you worked here." Jungkook smiles.Jimin acts hurt, putting his hand over his heart. "Well, my shift just ended so we can head back whenever you are ready." Said Jimin smiling back at Jungkook."So, what did you get?" Jungkook asks."Hot chocolate. I hate coffee." Jimin chuckles."Wow, a barista who doesn't even drink coffee," Jungkook replies, amused laughing with Jimin.☕️

----- CHAPTER BREAK -----

Jungkook decided this morning he would pop into the cafe before class. So, he woke up extra early to a confused Jimin."You're up early?" Jimin says still lounged out on his bed."Yeah. I thought I would go grab a coffee before class," Jungkook chirps."I never pictured you to be the coffee-obsessed type," Jimin says lazily. Indeed, Jungkook is not the biggest fan of coffee. But there is something just as addicting there which has turned into an obsession."Caffeine can be quite addictive." Jungkook nervously chuckles. It's not like he will ever have a proper conversation with the barista. He is content just appreciating the visuals from afar."I would come with you, but I need my beauty sleep. Not keen on going to the workplace on my day off," Jimin says, chuckling.☕️Jungkook enters the cafe and is shocked at how bustling it is. Jungkook feels butterflies in his stomach and is glad there is a line so he can think over what to say."You're too slow. Go make the coffee; I will take orders." A tall man comes over and starts taking orders. Jungkook pouts because he is missing out on his interaction with the cute barista.He orders and patiently waits, sighing to himself. He woke up early for nothing."Order for Jungkook?" Jungkook looks up and walks over to grab his order. He's shocked when the barista holds up a bag with his coffee."Thank you." Jungkook takes the bag and shyly smiles at the barista. He heads over to his usual booth and looks at the writing on his cup. Jungkook squeals softly to himself as he reads the little note:
Jungkook / Long Black

Smile sunshine

Enjoy your cookie
Jungkook looks up at the barista who is busily making coffee. Jungkook smiles to himself and takes a bite of his cookie. Today is a good morning.☕️"You look happy today," Jiyeon says as she sits down next to him. "Why are you here early today? I was expecting you to arrive late again.""Just woke up on the right side of the bed this morning I guess," Jungkook says, smiling at Jiyeon.Seokjin walks into the classroom, looking like a model. No wonder Jiyeon seems to be fascinated by the professor."Did you know Professor Seokjin wears glasses, he doesn't wear them in front of people though. He probably thinks it hides his beautiful face, but I think it's hot," Jiyeon says while twirling her hair."No... I did not know that. I know now." Jungkook chuckles at Jiyeon's antics."Don't ask me how I know," Jiyeon says nonchalantly. Somehow Jungkook feels like he can relate to her. He is just not comfortable letting the world know about his crush."Okay class, today I will be putting you into groups for the first assignment," Seokjin announces to the class. "Beomgyu, Mina and Somin will be group one.""I hope we can be in the same group," Jiyeon says to Jungkook while crossing her fingers."Group 4 will be Jungkook, Minjae and Jiyeon.""Consider your wish granted," Jungkook says in a cheerful tone."Okay now gather in your groups and get to know each other." Seokjin walks back to his chair and starts typing away.Everyone starts to gather into groups discussing what they are going to do for the assignment.A well-dressed man comes walking towards Jungkook and Jiyeon with a stern face. "I'm Minjae; I designate myself as leader of the group. I don't need you two getting in the way of my grades, so this is the best option. There is no need for you two to introduce yourselves. I already know who you are."Jiyeon scoffs. "Who are you to decide how things go around here. It is a group assignment for a reason.""I think we should talk it out first-" Jungkook starts to say."Okay cool. I will be heading off now." Minjae cuts off Jungkook and leaves the classroom."WHO DOES HE THINK HE IS?!" Jiyeon shouts while slamming her palms on the desk.Jungkook is taken aback by Minjae's directness."I guess we should head off to lunch too," Jungkook says in a soft voice.☕️"And he left just like that!" Jiyeon vents to Jimin on the other side of the table.Jimin gasps. "No way?! You can't just do that."The two have been going on about this all lunch, and Jungkook just wants to enjoy his food. He doesn't need Minjae to ruin his day since it started so well."I think you should go to the professor and talk about the situation with him," Hoseok chimes."No! I need to show Professor Seokjin that I can handle things myself efficiently." Jiyeon replies.Jungkook has never really been good at dealing with conflict. He usually just lets it be, and maybe it will solve itself."Hey Jungkook, after your last class we should go to the mall and grab some stuff for the room," Jimin suggests while munching down on his sandwich."Sure," Jungkook replies. He wonders if his crush will notice his absence from the cafe this afternoon.☕️"I can't believe the university doesn't supply us toilet paper," Jimin whines as he ticks off toilet paper on the shopping list."Do we really need Christmas decorations in March?" Jungkook asks, looking down at the list."Yes! There is a clearance on at the moment, and we can get it super cheap for later! Think about it, Jungkook," Jimin says like Jungkook is dumb for thinking otherwise.Jungkook sighs and looks over to a man at the counter paying for his shopping. Wait, is that?"What are you looking at?" Jimin asks, trying to see where Jungkook's vision is focused."It's Minjae..." Jungkook says now looking away trying to hide."He's looking at you Jungkook," Jimin whispers to Jungkook.Jungkook looks up and locks eyes with Minjae. Minjae winks in Jungkook's direction then proceeds to walk away."Umm, that was weird..." Jimin says watching the figure walk away into the distance. "He looked at you like you were his prey."Jungkook gulps.☕️

----- CHAPTER BREAK -----

Jungkook wakes up later than usual and checks the time. "Jimin why didn't you wake me up?!"*Silence*Oh, that's right he has morning shift. Jungkook gets up and heads straight to the shower. Jungkook loves shower time. It's an alone time where you can gather your thoughts and just think about life. He is a bit sad that he doesn't have time to pop into the cafe this morning. He will just have to go after his classes.He doesn't want to see Minjae today in class. Yesterday was a whole lot of awkward, and he wants nothing to do with it. Jungkook wants to know his intentions behind his behaviour and what the hell that wink meant.Jungkook looks at his phone and sees a text message from Jimin.
Jimin:

Wake up! Make sure you get to class on time.
Jungkook laughs to himself. It was sent an hour ago.☕️"Jungkook I need the notes for your part so I can put it in summary," Minjae asks."It's okay. I can do it myself," Jungkook replies.Minjae keeps his hands out, waiting for Jungkook to hand them over. Jungkook sighs in defeat and hands them over."I see the way your friend looks at you," Minjae says while reading over the notes."Huh? Jimin? What do you mean?" Jungkook asks, confused."He likes you," Minjae says in a matter of fact tone."This isn't related to the assignment. Drop it Minjae." Jiyeon butts in.Jungkook just stares into space. Jungkook doubts there would be any chance of Jimin liking him since they are friends. He concludes that Minjae is trying to stir up drama."I'm going to take my leave." Minjae packs his stuff and leaves the classroom."That guy is just ridiculous. Also, you shouldn't have given your notes to him! He is taking control, and it's not okay," Jiyeon whines."It's fine. If I speak up, it will cause more drama. When the assignment is over, we won't have to deal with him again," Jungkook says, sighing.☕️Class is finally over, and that means only one thing. Jungkook heads over to the cafe determined to find out the name of his cute barista. He knows he could have asked Jimin himself since the two work together, but he doesn't want Jimin to know about his crush. It's starting to drive Jungkook insane that he doesn't even know his name.Jungkook walks into the cafe and walks straight to the register. "H-hi.""Long black?" The barista asks."Yes, please. Also, may I ask-" Jungkook starts."Jungkook! My shift is almost over. I'm glad you came!" Jimin says, running up to the register with excitement."U-uh hi Jimin." Jungkook timidly waves.The handsome barista moves onto the coffee machine to make coffee while Jungkook and Jimin continue their small talk. Jimin tells Jungkook to sit down and wait for him to finish up."Your coffee," The barista places Jungkook's coffee and a paper bag onto the table in front of him then gives a small smile before heading back to take orders."Thanks," Jungkook said under his breath. It was barely audible, frustrated that he still doesn't know the man's name. He might have to give up and just ask Jimin, but he is scared Jimin might laugh at him.Jungkook takes a sip of the coffee and cringes. Still, he is not used to the taste of coffee. He had been too shy to change up his order, so he continues to order the same thing.He turns the coffee cup and realises he might have been given the wrong coffee since it had the name 'Taehyung' written on it. Jungkook tilts his head in confusion. Does he go back up and ask?Jungkook looks up at the barista hoping he could give him an answer, but he seems to be busy. Jungkook pouts and decides to eat his cookie. Food solves problems he tells himself.☕️"Did you want to go out for dinner?" Jimin suggests. "Or maybe we could order in and watch a movie?"*silence*"Jungkook!" Jimin shouts.Jungkook jolts up and looks at Jimin. "Huh, yeah?"Jungkook was busy mentally hitting himself for being too shy. He could have asked for the barista's name, but he just couldn't bring it up. He low key blames Jimin for interrupting him when he had the confidence to ask."You were ignoring me," Jimin whines while pouting."Oh, sorry! I didn't mean to; I'm just a bit tired," Jungkook says apologetically."It's okay... we can order in since you are tired," Jimin says as he grabs his phone. "Pizza?""Pizza will be fine," Jungkook says as he gets up to turn Netflix on."So... Jungkook... do you like anyone?" Jimin asks."Umm, I think I do..." Jungkook says cautiously."Oh? Who is it?" Jimin replies."I can't say! I'm embarrassed," Jungkook says in a panic."Oh... you are not comfortable with me?" Jimin asks in a sad tone."No, it's not that Jimin... It's just I'm not ready to tell anyone. I promise you will be the first person I tell." Jungkook says, trying to reassure Jimin.He can't tell Jimin yet without knowing his name. He tells himself that the next time will be different. He will gather enough confidence to ask for his name."That's okay. I'm glad I met you, Jungkook." Jimin says giving a big smile to Jungkook."I'm glad too."☕️*phone vibrates*
Jiyeon:

I was just thinking about it but, would it be weird if I bought a gift for Professor Seokjin? Like I could just say it's an appreciation gift for making our lectures so enjoyable. I want to see him smile for once! He acts too cold.
Jungkook laughs and starts to type a reply. The movie so far hasn't been hooking him in. Jimin is already asleep, and now he is just bored out of his mind.
Jungkook:

I think you find him enjoyable. Not the actual lecture.
He decides to turn off the TV and gets ready for bed. He grabs a blanket and rests it on top of Jimin's body. Jimin sure does look cute when he sleeps.He wonders if Jimin has ever been in a relationship before. Whoever ends up in a relationship with him would sure be lucky. He wants to know why Jimin asked if he liked someone. He thinks back to what Minjae said to him. 'I see the way your friend looks at you.' Jungkook shakes his head in disbelief. It can't be. Jimin would never feel that way about Jungkook.☕️

----- CHAPTER BREAK -----

"Have you thought about joining the dance club yet?" Jimin asks Jungkook while picking out the pickles in his cheeseburger."Yeah, I think it would be good for you! All you do is study, and that's boring," Jiyeon adds."I study to get good grades Jiyeon. Maybe you should study harder to impress Professor Seokjin." Jungkook says sipping on his milkshake."I plan to act dumb then ask Professor Seokjin for help. He will have no choice but to help me personally. After that, I will magically improve my grades! That's when he will be impressed." Jiyeon giggles to herself."You're whipped," Hoseok adds."For all the good reasons," Jiyeon says flicking her hair back."We would love to have you Jungkook," Hoseok says trying to convince Jungkook."I mean... sure I can give it a try," Jungkook replies with a nervous smile.Minjae comes walking towards their table. "Can I sit here?""No!" Jiyeon and Jimin both shout in unison."I promise I won't bother you guys..." Minjae says with his head down.Hoseok looks over at Jungkook unsure on what to do. Jungkook looked annoyed but gave Hoseok the signal of approval."You can sit with us," Hoseok says, smiling."It's okay. I just wanted to ask Jungkook something if that was fine with everyone. Jungkook?" Minjae motions for Jungkook to get up and follow him.Jungkook nods, putting his cutlery down on the table. The two walk off to the side where the others can't eavesdrop."This would have been easier if you have just given me your number," Minjae says, annoyed about the situation."Well, maybe if you asked for my number, I might have given it to you." Jungkook rolls his eyes."Look. I know we might have gotten off on the wrong foot. So, I want to make it up to you," Minjae looks down at his feet. "It's just... I find it so hard to make friends and something about you just triggered me to act the way I did."Minjae hands over a small box of chocolates to Jungkook and says, "Don't tell anyone," Minjae threatens."Umm... thanks?" Jungkook grabs the box confused as he watches Minjae walk off into the distance.☕️Jungkook decided to go back to his dorm and get some study done during his free period. He plans on going to the cafe with Jimin when he finishes dance practice. He doesn't know how Jimin juggles a job plus school work.He looks at the box of chocolates Minjae gave him earlier. Won't hurt eating them. Jungkook grabs one of the chocolates just as Jimin walks through the door."You're here early," said Jungkook."Yeah, Hoseok had an emergency so we couldn't continue without him," Jimin replied.Jimin was wearing a tank top with a towel wrapped around his neck. Sweat was dripping from his bangs as he pushed his hair back, exposing his forehead. "I'm going to have a quick shower then we can go.""Alright," Jungkook says while popping another chocolate into his mouth."Where did you get the chocolates? Can I have one?" Jimin asks."Minjae," Jungkook says casually."What?! Why? How?" Jimin asks, shocked.Jungkook just shrugs and goes to grab another one but is stopped by Jimin grabbing the box. "You can't just accept chocolates from him!""Why not?""Because he could have poisoned them!""Don't be ridiculous Jimin. He wouldn't do that.""You never know. Besides I don't like him, so you can't have the chocolates." Jimin crosses his arms. He's not keen on the whole idea of Jungkook receiving chocolates from Minjae."But I like chocolates." Jungkook pouts."Too bad." Jimin chucks the box of chocolates into the bin.☕️Jimin and Jungkook walk into the cafe together. Jimin tells Jungkook to sit in the booth despite the younger's protest. It's okay, Jungkook says to himself. He still gets to watch the barista from afar.Jimin joins Jungkook at the table with a table number."What did you get?" Jungkook asks."Hot chocolate with marshmallows. It's some good shit. Taehyung is going to bring it over for us," Jimin says while taking his jacket off."Taehyung?" Jungkook tilts his head, trying to think where he has heard that name before."Yeah Taehyung," Jimin assures Jungkook.Jungkook freezes. "T-the cup..."Jimin just looks at him, confused. "You do need that coffee it seems."The barista comes over and places the order on the table. "Thanks, Tae," Jimin says while plopping the marshmallows into his hot chocolate."Anytime," the barista says already walking back to his duties."You look like you saw a ghost," Jimin says before he takes a sip of his hot chocolate."...The cup," Jungkook mumbles. That was the name written on his cup yesterday. It can't possibly be his coffee if he's the one making it."What about the cup? You don't like it?""I thought I got the wrong coffee yesterday..." Jungkook stares over at the coffee machine. He's puzzled on why the barista wrote his name on Jungkook's cup. Jungkook's eyes widen. He just found out the barista's name."It's not hard to mess up your order Jungkook," Jimin chuckles. "You get the same thing every time."Jungkook takes a sip of his coffee. He is proud of himself lately. He can drink the whole coffee without looking like he is going through hell. As he puts the coffee cup down, he notices something written on his cup.
02-312-3456
Jungkook chokes on his coffee. He wrote his number on the cup?! Jungkook has lost his shit.Jimin comes over to Jungkook's side of the table and pats his back. "Are you okay? Don't drink so fast," Jimin asks worriedly.Jungkook coughs and looks up at the barista. He's staring right at him. Jungkook quickly diverts his vision somewhere else the moment they make eye contact. At this point, he thinks Jimin could probably hear his heart race. Jungkook is definitely not okay.☕️

----- CHAPTER BREAK -----

Jungkook is lying on his bed while staring at his phone. He had been staring at it for the last two hours. He doesn't know what to send Taehyung. Should he call him? Is it even Taehyung? Jungkook starts typing:
Hi. You're beautiful.
He quickly backspaces then types something else:
Hello. Take me, please. I'm yours.
Jungkook laughs. No. It should be something simple. Jungkook could never say such things to him anyways.
Jungkook:

Hey sexy
*Message sent*"NO!" Jungkook's eyes open wider than dinner plates. "No, no, no, no, no." Jungkook can't believe he accidentally tapped the send message button.
Taehyung:

Who is this?
How can he let Taehyung know it's him after that embarrassing text. He should just get a new number now. Jungkook is drowning in regrets. He throws his phone to the side and buries his head into the pillow."Is everything okay?" Jimin asks as he walks into the room."Please let me die in peace Jimin. I can't do this anymore." Jungkook sobs into the pillow."Oh, please, what happened? It can't be that bad.""I-I..." Jungkook starts sniffling. "I've committed social suicide!"*Incoming call*Jungkook's entire body jolts up and runs to the bathroom with his phone. "H-hello?""Jungkook?" Taehyung asks on the other side of the phone. Jungkook lowkey wants to say that he has the wrong number and forget that any of this ever happened."Y-Yes it's me," Jungkook coughs out choking on his saliva."I was wondering when you would finally message me." Taehyung chuckles.His voice is so deep and raspy. Jungkook feels himself sinking into the tiles. This isn't happening; it's just some messed up beautiful dream that he never wants to wake up from."You make nice coffee." What the hell was that Jungkook thinks to himself. Jungkook has no idea what to say to the man and wishes he prepared beforehand."Thanks," Taehyung says, chuckling. "You're too cute."Jungkook blushes, and he swears he could sense Taehyung smirk through the phone."Also, why is there an echo?" Taehyung asks."I-I'm cleaning the bathroom!" Jungkook accidentally shouts. "Yeah. Cleaning.""Weird time to message." Taehyung laughs.Jungkook hangs up and facepalms. What just happened.
Taehyung:

Hey, why did you hang up

Taehyung:

Also~ you think I'm sexy? 😏

Jungkook:

THAT WAS JIMIN

Taehyung:

Oh, so he's cleaning the bathroom with you too?
Jungkook throws his phone in embarrassment and starts shouting curse words.Jimin knocks on the door, "Is everything fine in there? A tad bit worried here.""Yeah, I'm fine! I had to go badly. You know when you gotta go, you gotta go," Jungkook lies.*phone buzzes*Jungkook reaches out to see the message.
Taehyung:

See you tomorrow😉
☕️Jungkook is finding it hard to stay awake during the lecture. He barely got any sleep because of a certain someone on his mind. How could he possibly face Taehyung now after that embarrassing episode? He wishes he could develop proper social skills overnight. He wouldn't be in all these awkward situations if he weren't so awkward."Did you know Professor Seokjin went to an all-boys high school?" Jiyeon says, swinging a pencil around her finger. "On valentines day he got lots of chocolates from boys at the school even though it was an all-boys school. If I were a boy, I would give him chocolates too.""You know you can give him chocolates as a girl too," Minjae says slightly irritated that Jiyeon interrupted his trail of thought.Jiyeon sighs, "I wonder what it would feel like to receive a box of chocolates from someone.""It's not that special," Jungkook says as Minjae glances at him. "I want more than chocolates, to be honest.""Someone is high maintenance." Minjae scoffs."You're right Jungkook! I need to be extravagant for my gift to Professor Seokjin," Jiyeon claps. "I have so many ideas.""I take that back. Chocolates aren't too bad," Jungkook says cautiously."That concludes the lecture for today. Make sure everyone uploads the group assignments via the link online," Seokjin announces.Everyone starts to pack their things. Minjae leans over and whispers in Jungkook's ear, "I can give you something more than chocolates."Jungkook blushes hard and quickly gathers his stuff. "Not happening Minjae."Jungkook heads out of the classroom in a rush. "Hey, wait up!" Jiyeon tries to catch up.Minjae smirks as he watches Jungkook leave the classroom.☕️Jungkook splashes water on his face and looks at himself in the mirror. He shouldn't have accepted those chocolates. Messaging Taehyung was a mistake. He asked for a new exciting start when he first moved to the city, but now he just wants everything to chill.*phone vibrates*
Taehyung:

Hope you don't forget to drop in today.
Jungkook blushes again. His cheeks won't stop flaring. It's the reason why he is in the bathroom.He walks out of the bathroom and heads to the cafeteria. Everyone is already at the table, but another person is sitting across from where Jungkook usually sits. It's Minjae."When did Minjae start sitting with us?" Jungkook asks, annoyed."He begged us to let him sit here. He even gave us chocolate," Hoseok says, waving his chocolate bar. "Well everyone but Jimin because he refused to take one.""He's out to get us all," Jimin says, crossing his arms.Jungkook laughs. He wishes it was Taehyung sitting across from him instead of Minjae."You're not eating?" Minjae asks Jungkook."I'm not hungry."Minjae pushes his tray of food to Jungkook. "Have mine. I've barely touched it."Jungkook just stares at the food. What the hell is Minjae doing?"You're making Jungkook uncomfortable! You should leave," Jimin protests.Jungkook looks up and smiles at everyone. "No, I'm fine." He starts to eat the food in front of him."I thought we wouldn't see you after the assignment?" Jiyeon asks Minjae."Well, technically it's not over until we submit it tonight," Minjae smiles. "C'mon Jiyeon; I'm not that bad.""Thanks for the food," Jungkook says, standing up from his seat. "I'm going to leave early today. I have some errands to run."He wants to occupy his mind with something else; more like someone else.☕️

----- CHAPTER BREAK -----

Jungkook takes a 2nd look at himself in the mirror before deciding to head off to the cafe. He went back to the dorm so he could freshen up and look the best he can. He borrowed Jimin's clothes since Jimin shoved some in his closet anyway. The jeans were a bit tight on him, but it makes his ass look good. You win some; you lose some. Jimin does have an excellent choice of style, he must say.Jungkook feels more confident than he did this morning. He feels like he is ready to face Taehyung in person. Though when he's there, it might be a different story.Jungkook walks into the cafe and looks over to the counter, only to see someone else serving. Someone who is not Taehyung. Jungkook pouts. He might as well just leave if he's not here."What can I get for you?" The tall man asks."Surprise me.""Name?""Jungkook.""Alright, I will get someone to bring it over when it's ready.""Thanks." Jungkook walks over to his usual booth and rests his head on the table looking out the window. Jungkook's heart hurts, and he doesn't know why.A hand rests on Jungkook's shoulder. "A special long black for a special person." Jungkook hears a deep voice say. Jungkook looks up and meets Taehyung's eyes. Jungkook's lips part, attempting to thank the boy, but nothing came out."Careful, you will catch flies," Taehyung says, smirking down at Jungkook."S-Sorry." Jungkook blushes."Why are you apologising? You did nothing wrong," Taehyung smiles at Jungkook's cuteness. "I'm free on the weekend, and I was wondering if you would want to hang?"Jungkook chokes on air, too shocked to reply."I will take that as a yes," Taehyung croons.'Call me' Taehyung mouths gesturing a telephone with his hand up to his ear.Jungkook just sits there, staring at his coffee for a few minutes. He wants to slap himself for not being able to form any words. Jungkook smiles. He smiles so hard that it hurts.Jungkook then notices what Taehyung wrote on his coffee cup.
Nice ass.
There he goes again, choking on air.☕️Jungkook skips into the room, humming to himself."Someone is happy? Did you get laid?" Jimin asks sipping on his water."No." Jungkook giggles. "Something better."Jimin gasps. "You are wearing my jeans!""Hey, you offered to share clothes, remember?" Jungkook says while looking down at the jeans. "Besides doesn't my ass look good in these?" Jungkook turns around and sticks his ass out at Jimin.Jimin spits his water out. "When did you become so body confident." Jimin diverts his eyes away from Jungkook. "I bought these because it makes my ass look perky. I guess it worked on you too.""You have a good style." Jungkook compliments Jimin."Yeah yeah, I know," Jimin says as flicks his hair. "By the way, you still haven't told me what happened.""I have a date!" Jungkook says while clasping onto Jimin's hands.Jimin squeals like a high school girl. "Shut up?!"Jungkook shyly smiles at Jimin."Oh my god. We have to go shopping for a new outfit! Your wardrobe is tragic," Jimin jokes. "How exciting.""We can go after your shift tomorrow," Jungkook says, excited more than ever."I'm going to be your stylist. No one will be able to resist you after I'm done with you," Jimin assures.☕️Jungkook walks into the cafe and heads straight to the counter. "Hey, Jimin. The usual please.""I don't know how you enjoy that stuff Jungkook. You don't look like the long black kind of guy," Jimin says while writing Jungkook's name on the cup. "Go sit down; you don't need to pay. My shift ends in a few minutes. I will bring everything out.""You might get in trouble if you guys keep giving me free stuff," Jungkook asks, worried about his friend's job."Nah it's fine. Namjoon hyung makes us pay for any free stuff we give out. It comes out of our pay, so consider it as me shouting you your coffee." Jimin smiles."Wait, so does that mean..." Jungkook thinks about all the times Taehyung had given him free cookies with every order. Does that mean Taehyung was willingly paying for it?"Mean what?""Never mind," Jungkook says, smiling to himself. "Thank you."Namjoon must be the tall guy who served Jungkook the other day. Jungkook goes to sit at his regular table. He wonders why Taehyung isn't here today. He always seemed to be here whenever Jungkook was.☕️"Try this on; I think it suits you," Jimin says, opening the dressing room curtain."It might be a bit small for me, but I will try," Jungkook puts the shirt on. "Yep too small. Give me one a size up.""What do you mean too small? It's tight in all the right places." Jimin tries to convince Jungkook."Yeah, too tight." Jungkook takes the shirt off without closing the curtain. "Just pass me the size up."Jimin stares at Jungkook's back. Looking at how silky smooth Jungkook's skin looks, glistening underneath the dressing room lights. "Wow Jungkook, you have such a nice body."Jungkook quickly covers himself up. "Hey! Don't perv!""We are both men here. No need to be shy Jungkook," Jimin says, smirking.Jungkook shuts the curtain on Jimin and continues to try on clothes. "Jimin come in. I need an opinion."Jimin pulls the curtain back and enters the dressing room closing the curtain behind him. Jungkook is in a white button-up shirt and jeans that have rips in all the right places. "Wow. You went from 'innocent' cute to 'Rip my pants off' cute.""I'm sexy, I know," Jungkook says with a sudden surge of confidence. "Don't go falling for me Jimin."Jimin laughs. "It would take more than that to make me fall. Don't get too confident."What Jungkook doesn't see is the sad glint in Jimin's eyes.☕️

----- CHAPTER BREAK -----

It's a fresh new morning, but there's something special about today. Jungkook has a date—well, a hangout—Jungkook is telling himself that it's a date.Jungkook dials Taehyung's phone number and waits for an answer."Hey, are you ready for today?" Taehyung asks as he answers the phone."Y-Yeah. Where do you want me to meet you?""We can meet in front of the cafe, then take the subway. How does that sound?" Taehyung asks in a sing-song voice, so deep and smooth. His voice is music to Jungkook's ears."Sounds good! I'm getting ready now," Jungkook says cheerfully."See you soon." Taehyung hangs up."Jimin!""What?!""Help me get ready." Jungkook smiles goofily.☕️"See, I told you I would make you look hot," Jimin says while applying hairspray onto Jungkook's hair. "You should let me put makeup on you. Just something little.""I don't know..." Jungkook hasn't had experience with makeup."Please, please please," Jimin pleads."Fine." Jungkook smiles.Jimin does his magic to Jungkook's face. "Now you look like an idol." Jimin smiles at the final product.Jungkook checks himself out in the mirror then smiles with approval. "I feel like a new person.""Just make sure you be yourself. People love you for who you are," Jimin says sweetly."You're the best Jimin." Jungkook turns to hug Jimin.Jimin returns the hug. It was bittersweet for the boy.☕️Jungkook spots Taehyung leaning against the wall near the entrance of the cafe—he looks stunning—Jungkook thinks the way Taehyung looks when he's concentrating is extremely hot. The way he looked at his phone with his tongue sticking out drove Jungkook insane."Um, hey." Jungkook walks up to Taehyung."Damn, someone looks good today," Taehyung says, checking Jungkook out."Yeah, you," Jungkook blurts out accidentally.Taehyung chuckles and gestures Jungkook to walk in the direction of the train station. "What happened to my shy boy.""W-What do you mean?" Jungkook pouts as they walk.Taehyung just laughs to himself. "You're cute."☕️They are on a train, and there is only one seat left available, so Taehyung offers Jungkook to sit. "By the way, who works at the cafe on the weekends if not you?" Jungkook asks, looking up at Taehyung who is standing in front of him."Namjoon and Jisu," Taehyung says as he reaches out to grab the overhead handle. "Jisu is the co-owner of the cafe with Namjoon.""Oh, So you and Jimin usually work together then.""We used to work every shift together, but now that university has started, some of Jimin's shifts get moved to the weekends, and he stopped doing most mornings."Jungkook stands up to let an older woman sit down. Jungkook looks up, and Taehyung's face is right in front of him, causing Jungkook to blush. There is no such thing as personal space on public transport.The train turns a curve a little too fast, which causes Jungkook to lean forward onto Taehyung. He could smell the scent of coffee on the man. Something that he has become addicted to and wants more of. Taehyung rests his hand on Jungkook's hip for more support, little did he know that it drove Jungkook insane. Jungkook is so close to closing the gap between their lips. He is hanging on a thread. That is until it was their stop, and they were forced to break apart.☕️Taehyung and Jungkook walk side by side down the street market. Jungkook smiles at the street performers, so free and passionate about what they are doing. Jungkook finds it inspiring. He wishes he could say the same thing about himself.The smell of street food has made Jungkook's stomach growl. Jungkook holds his stomach as it growls a second time."You haven't eaten? Let me buy you something," Taehyung says, grabbing Jungkook's hand and dragging him to the nearest food stall. "Choose anything you want."Jungkook would have protested, but his stomach says otherwise. Jungkook tries to hide his smile as he holds Taehyung's hand. "C-can I have the potato skewer thing," Jungkook says shyly, pointing at the spiral potato sticks."One tornado potato please," Taehyung hands over money over to the store-vendor and retrieves the potato skewer. "It's all yours," He says, handing it over to Jungkook.Taehyung smiles watching Jungkook eat the potato skewer. "Shall we head to the arcade?" Taehyung suggests.Jungkook's eyes light up. "Should we?! Um yes. Let's go now!" Jungkook quickly eats the rest of the skewer.☕️Taehyung had just lost four times in a row to Jungkook in Tekken. Jungkook jumps up, claiming he is the champion of all games while Taehyung laughs along. "Hey, it's not fair that you know how to play the game," Taehyung complains. "We should play a game I know too," he suggests."Air hockey?"Taehyung puts coins into the air hockey machine ready to start the match. Jungkook starts off hitting the puck with great strength startling the other. "Whoa calm down there." Taehyung laughs.Jungkook can't help but be competitive. It's not his fault; he is good at everything. Jungkook never loses.The game ends 7-3 in Jungkook's favour. "Okay okay, you win golden boy." Taehyung smiles.They walk past a bunch of claw machines and Jungkook's eyes widen in excitement. Taehyung notices, so he puts a coin in one of the machines. "Which one do you want?" Taehyung asks."Pikachu," Jungkook says, pointing at the plush he wanted.The first attempt... failed—Taehyung groans and inserts another coin into the machine. The second attempt he managed to get the plush into the claw, but it dropped just before the drop zone."It's okay! You don't have to win it for me," Jungkook says, side hugging Taehyung's arm."No. I want to win it for you," Taehyung says while inserting more coins into the machine. "This time, I will get it."The claw clamps onto the plushie and drops right on the edge of the drop zone. Taehyung, frustrated, kicks the machine and the plushie drops in."Yes! See? I told you I could do it," Taehyung says while doing a victory dance. He grabs the plushie and hands it to Jungkook. "For you, my prince."Jungkook takes the plushie and hugs it. "Thank you Tae," Jungkook says sweetly.His cheeks are flaring because of how sweet Taehyung has been treating him. Jungkook wants Taehyung so bad. He doesn't know if he can last the entire date without breaking down in front of him. He could probably do anything for the man at this very moment.☕️

----- CHAPTER BREAK -----

Jungkook was trailing behind Taehyung, grabbing the bottom of Taehyung's jacket, not wanting to be apart from the boy. They have just decided on a movie to watch together.They sit in their allocated seats at the back of the theatre, a perfect place for couples. Are they a couple now? He still isn't sure if this is a date or just a friendly hang out.The theatre goes dark, and Jungkook's heart starts to beat faster. Jungkook is expecting Taehyung to do some form of skinship. Like putting an arm around his shoulder or holding his hand. Halfway through the movie Taehyung adjusts his position in his chair, but nothing happens.Jungkook is desperate. He can't focus on the movie. He just wants Taehyung to give him attention, any form of attention. Jungkook moves his hand closer to the Taehyung's, but Taehyung doesn't seem to notice the gesture. Jungkook wants to scream. He is just staring at Taehyung, and he isn't noticing him.The movie comes to an end. Jungkook being salty makes an excuse to go to the bathroom. He pulls at his hair, frustrated. Did Taehyung take the hint and decide to tease him or was he that oblivious? Jungkook starts to think all the kind gestures were just that, kind. He wants Taehyung to barge in and kiss him against the wall."Is everything fine?" Taehyung calls out from the entrance of the toilets."Yeah! Just fixing my hair." Literally, since he was tugging on it just beforehand, he did an excellent job of making it look like nothing happened."What do you want to eat?" Taehyung asks as Jungkook exits the bathroom."Something cheap. I feel bad that you're spending money on me." Jungkook says."No, it's fine. Anything you want."Jungkook had to stop himself from saying that he wants him, not the food. "W-We can just have fast food," Jungkook starts, before rethinking his words. "No, we will have fast food. I want fast food.""Alright, if you insist," Taehyung smiles. "You know you're missing out on the perfect opportunity to have anything you want."Just give me yourself then, Jungkook thinks to himself. When did he start thinking like this? Jungkook has never had these type of feelings for anyone before. His hormones need to chill. "Maybe I just really like fast food, have you thought about that?" Jungkook says with attitude."It's not good for that body of yours. I'm sure you want to keep that nice figure." Taehyung smirks.Jungkook blushes. It's the second time in the last few days someone has complimented his body. He never thought he was attractive in that way.☕️Taehyung watches Jungkook down his second hot dog. "You sure do eat a lot." Taehyung chuckles."No. You just eat too little. I'm normal," Jungkook says, poking his tongue out at Taehyung.Taehyung reaches his hand out to Jungkook's face, and the younger flinches. "Stay still," Taehyung orders. His thumb swipes over the corner of Jungkook's lip, retrieving a bit of leftover sauce that missed his mouth. Taehyung then proceeds to lick the sauce off his thumb. "There we go, much better."Jungkook is frozen. He curses Taehyung in his head. It's like he is asking for Jungkook to pounce on him, even though Jungkook would never do such a thing since he's a shy boy."Can't let anything stain such a pretty face," Taehyung says while resting his chin on his hand, staring right into Jungkook's soul.Jungkook was hypnotised. He is begging Taehyung with his eyes to break that barrier of no return."Y-You think I'm pretty?" Jungkook asks, leaning in slightly, staring at Taehyung's lips.Taehyung licks his lips like he was getting ready to kiss him. Taehyung reaches out to caress Jungkook's cheek, and that's when Jungkook couldn't take it anymore."Kiss me..." Jungkook pleads—his eyes closed ready to be taken. Taehyung leans in and closes the gap between them. Their lips finally meet in a passionate kiss. Jungkook doesn't know if this is love or lust, but right now, he doesn't care.Their lips break apart and Jungkook whines in protest wanting more. Taehyung smiles and grants Jungkook his wish, leaning in for a second kiss. Taehyung kissed him ever so softly, like Jungkook's lips were a prized possession of his.They break apart due to lack of breath. That's when Jungkook randomly blurts, "Wait, so this was actually a date?"Taehyung laughs at Jungkook's innocence. "Yes, of course. I don't usually kiss on the first date though. You made it so hard to resist," Taehyung says before pecking Jungkook on the lips one last time. "I was trying to resist you throughout the whole movie.""Here I was, thinking you didn't want me." Jungkook smiles."That desperate, huh?" Taehyung smiles back at Jungkook while ruffling his hair. "You're too cute."☕️"One more kiss," Jungkook pouts at Taehyung. "Just one more."They had just arrived in front of Jungkook's dorm. It was way past curfew time, but Jungkook hasn't seen the curfew rule enforced over the past week.Taehyung found it hard saying no to Jungkook. Well, why would he say no? Taehyung pulls Jungkook closer to him and captures his lips with his own.Jungkook doesn't want Taehyung to leave, but they have to separate eventually. "I wish you could come in with me," Jungkook says in a sad voice."You know that's against the rules. Besides, I don't think Jimin would appreciate it," Taehyung says, leaning in for another kiss. "Now go in before you get caught staying out too late."The two say their goodbyes and Taehyung heads off into the distance. Jungkook opens the door to his shared room, carefully making sure not to wake Jimin. He spots Jimin sleeping peacefully and smiles. He wants to tell Jimin all about his day, but he thinks he should save it for another time. He is still unsure what his relationship is with Taehyung. But one thing he knows for sure is that he's in deep.☕️

----- CHAPTER BREAK -----

Jungkook spent the rest of the weekend catching up on his studies. Juggling a social life and school work has been challenging for the boy.Jimin walks out of the shower with a towel wrapped around his waist. His entire upper body was exposed. The way the water was glistening on his body had Jungkook mesmerised. He didn't know Jimin has such a nice body."You should take a picture," Jimin suggests. "It would last longer."Jungkook snaps out of his spell and laughs. "Damn, Jimin. Who knew you were hiding all of that underneath those clothes.""I didn't think you would be awake this early. If I knew, I would have covered up more," Jimin apologises."No, don't apologise. Remember, we are both guys here." Jungkook smiles, remembering what Jimin told him the other day."Did you enjoy your date?" Jimin asks, putting on his clothes."I did. Thanks for helping me get ready Jimin," Jungkook says, packing his bag for uni. "I owe you one.""I will keep that in mind."☕️Jungkook walks into class early today to Jiyeon's surprise. "You look too happy. What happened?" Jiyeon asks."What do you mean too happy!? Can't I be happy?" Jungkook puts his hand on his heart, acting offended."I don't mean it that way, silly. It's just you have this goofy smile on your face, so something is definitely up," Jiyeon interrogates Jungkook. "So who is it?""It's no one!" Jungkook blushes."Yeah totally. I don't believe you, but I will let you off."Jungkook sighs in relief. He isn't too sure about telling people about his infatuation with Taehyung yet. He only told Jimin that he was going on a date because he feels comfortable with Jimin. Jimin never asked who it was though.Minjae walks in eying Jungkook from across the room. Jungkook timidly waves."What are you doing! Don't make him want to come over here," Jiyeon whisper-shouts and taps Jungkook on the head."Sorry! I didn't know what to do. He was looking at me!" Jungkook whisper-shouts back, rubbing the back of his head."Ladies," Minjae says as he sits down next to Jungkook. "Did you miss me?""No," Jiyeon snorts. "You can sit somewhere else now, you know. We've done the assignment.""I know," Minjae smirks then checks Jungkook out. "You look different today.""I-Is that a bad thing?" Jungkook asks, worried that everyone thinks he's seeing someone."You have a glow around you," Minjae says while pulling his books out onto the desk. "I mean, you were happy enough to give me a wave when I walked into the classroom.""I think he's seeing someone," Jiyeon says while twirling her hair. "He found his own Seokjin.""Is that so," Minjae says with a curious glint in his eyes."N-No! I won the lottery."That was the dumbest excuse Jungkook has ever come up with. Congratulations."Yeah and how much was it?" Minjae laughs.Jungkook groans and hides his face head down on the table.☕️"You know you're treading dangerous waters," Minjae says, biting on his pencil."What do you mean?" Jungkook asks, annoyed that Minjae was talking during the lecture."Jimin," Minjae says smirking. "He likes you, remember?""I already told Jimin that I went out on a date. He even helped me get ready for it.""Maybe Jimin was just a good friend to you. Deep down, Jimin never wanted you to go on that date. I know that as a fact.""Why would he be so nice about it though? He was excited for me," Jungkook says, getting upset."People do stupid things for the people they like." Minjae smirks.Jungkook doesn't know what to think. He wants to believe Jimin is happy for him."What are you guys talking about?" Jiyeon asks."Wouldn't you like to know," Minjae teases."Hey, it's not my fault Professor Seokjin looks like walking sex right now.""It's nothing Jiyeon. Minjae is just teasing me," Jungkook says, looking down at his notes. He can't stop thinking about what Minjae said about Jimin. What if he's right.☕️Jungkook arrives at the cafe with Jimin. Jimin wanted Jungkook to tag along and have coffee with him before his shift. He couldn't say no. It was an excuse to see Taehyung without looking so desperate.As they walk in, a stressed Namjoon comes out from the back office. "Jimin," he calls out. "Jisu wants you to start your shift now.""Oh... okay sure," Jimin replies, turning to Jungkook. "I'm going to go get changed into my work clothes now. Taehyung can handle your order.""Alright." Jungkook smiles back and walks towards the counter."What can I get for you cutie?" Taehyung asks smirking."You know what I get," Jungkook whines cutely."No flirting with the customers," Namjoon says with a stern voice."Yes boss," Taehyung replies while winking at Jungkook.Jungkook hides his smile and walks towards his usual seat. Jungkook slides into the booth. That's when he realised someone else was sitting at his table. "Minjae?" Jungkook looks up, confused."J-Jungkook?" Minjae is looking just as confused. "Why are you here?""To get coffee?" Jungkook says sounding a tad unsure himself.Taehyung walks over and hands the coffee to Jungkook. Jungkook's hand lingered on Taehyung's causing the elder to smile sweetly at the younger briefly before heading back behind the counter.Minjae watched the entire interaction curiously. "So... what does that say on the cup?" Minjae asks, tilting his head. "I miss-" Jungkook cuts Minjae off with his hand."Don't read it out loud!" Jungkook whisper-shouts.Minjae's eyes widen. "You're the guy Taehyung has been talking about.""W-What? You know Taehyung?" Jungkook asks in shock."We are childhood friends," Minjae replies. "I can't believe out of all the people; it was you."Jungkook frowns."It's such a small world," Minjae chuckles to himself. "Look at that, Jimin happens to be his coworker.""Shut up," Jungkook says, taking a sip of his long black.Minjae looks at Jungkook funnily. "Don't tell me.""Tell you what?""You don't even like coffee. I can see it on your face." Minjae says, clicking his tongue.Jungkook's secret is out. Jungkook wants to vanish now, vanish into thin air. He's never been this embarrassed before. Out of all the people that could find out, it was Minjae."Don't worry. It will be our little secret," Minjae says, winking at Jungkook.Jungkook swears that Minjae only exists to make his life a living hell.☕️

----- CHAPTER BREAK -----

"Did you know, when Professor Seokjin is hungry, his left eye starts to twitch?" Jiyeon asks Jungkook."No?" Jungkook replies."Look at it now. It's twitching." Jiyeon gestures for Jungkook to look at Seokjin.Jungkook laughs. "Well, now, I know.""I want to feed my Jinnie baby." Jiyeon pouts. "Where is Minjae by the way?" Jiyeon looks at Jungkook like he would know the answer. "Not that I care though...""No clue," Jungkook says.Answering their question, Minjae walks in late to class and makes his way towards the two apologising to Seokjin for being late. Jungkook notices a hickey on Minjae's neck."Looks like you had fun," Jiyeon snickers."Yeah. It was an enjoyable morning," Minjae says casually.Jungkook notices a boy staring at Minjae curiously. "You should probably cover up that hickey of yours. People will start assuming things.""Assume what Jungkook? That we sleep together?" Minjae smirks."No!" Jungkook retorts. "You and I are never happening.""I know." Minjae laughs. "I gave up a while ago. You're too hard to pin down Jungkook. It's unfortunate because you have such a pretty face and a nice ass.""TMI MINJAE," Jiyeon says, covering her ears with her hands."It's true. You're just lucky Taehyung means something to me. I'm not going to mess with what he owns," Minjae says while trying to copy Jungkook's notes.Jungkook was annoyed that Minjae was talking like he was an object of Taehyung's. Yes, he's infatuated with the man, but he isn't going to let himself be treated as an object.Minjae leans into Jungkook's ear and whispers. "If I wanted to get into your pants I could. I have some little secrets of yours."Jungkook looks at Minjae shocked. Did he just try and blackmail him?"Okay students, the class is over. Hand in your homework and you're free to go," Seokjin announces.The boy who was staring at Minjae before walks past his desk and slips a note on it. "What's that?" Jungkook asks."A number," Minjae smirks."You're an asshole Minjae," Jungkook says."I know," Minjae replies, smiling widely at Jungkook.☕️Jungkook walks into his dorm to Jimin holding his phone. "You have a text from Taehyung. I was going to message you about when you were going to finish class, but then I found out you left your phone here this morning." Jimin says while holding the phone up."Oh, I didn't even notice." Jungkook chucks his stuff onto his bed, getting rid of his shirt to change into a new one."I didn't know you and Taehyung were close enough to exchange numbers," Jimin asks tilting his head."Um, yeah. We're friends now," Jungkook says, putting on a new shirt. He doesn't think he's lying, Taehyung is his friend. It's just they do, not so friend- like things together. He wants to tell Jimin all about Taehyung, but after what Minjae said, he feels like it would be inconsiderate."That's cool. We should all hang out sometime," Jimin suggests smiling."I would love that." Jungkook agrees. He looks down at the texts Taehyung had sent him.
Taehyung:

Do you know Minjae? Why was your hand on his mouth at the cafe?

Taehyung:

Be careful of Minjae. He's the player type! Don't go playing his games.

Taehyung:

No. Minjae can't steal you from me. He steals everything from me!

Taehyung:

You guys are in the same class?
Jungkook groans. Why is everyone interrogating him? He is the lawyer in training, not them. Jungkook starts to type a reply until his message tone goes off again.
Taehyung:

I want to kiss you.
Jungkook couldn't hide his smile. Taehyung is jealous, and Jungkook finds that extremely cute. Jungkook touches his bottom lip, thinking about how Taehyung's lips felt against his own.
Taehyung:

I want to see you now.
☕️Jungkook wandered down the hallway of Taehyung's apartment complex. His apartment wasn't too far from the uni, but Jungkook wasn't familiar with the area. He hesitates before knocking on the door. His heart is racing. Jungkook doesn't know what to expect.He knocks on the door and waits patiently. The door opens, and Minjae walks out of the door. "Uh-um." Jungkook looks at Minjae confused."Don't worry. I'm leaving princess." Minjae winks then heads down the hallway. Jungkook turns to watch him walk into the elevator."Hey, baby." Taehyung back hugs Jungkook kissing his ear lightly.Jungkook pouts. "Why was Minjae here.""He came uninvited, and I was trying to make him leave before you came," Taehyung says with his deep smooth voice into Jungkook's ear. "I wanted it to be just us two." Taehyung continues his kisses onto Jungkook's neck.Jungkook smiles and tilts his head for better access. "W-We shouldn't be doing this in the doorway.""You're right," Taehyung says, grabbing Jungkook's hand leading him into the apartment. "Welcome to my home," Taehyung says sweetly.Jungkook looks around the apartment. He notices there are no pictures of his family anywhere. It makes Jungkook curious about Taehyung's life. If the boy had siblings, what his parents were like."Do you want a drink?" Taehyung asks."No thanks," Jungkook politely refuses."I'm going to check on dinner. Feel free to turn the TV on."☕️Taehyung lifts Jungkook onto the counter while Jungkook wraps his legs around the other's waist. "You have gone too far," Taehyung whispers into Jungkook's ear."W-What do you mean?" Jungkook says"You can't keep looking at me like that," Taehyung says while he play-bites Jungkook's ear. "You make me want to do things to you."Jungkook moans. "Please...""Please what, baby?" Taehyung teases."P-Please just take me now.""Right here, baby?" Taehyung smirks suggestively."Please... I need you," Jungkook pleads."Jungkook.... Jungkook... wake up."Jungkook's eyes flutter open. "W-Wait what?" Jungkook rubs his eyes. "I fell asleep?""Yeah, you must have been exhausted," Taehyung says, rubbing Jungkook's back.Jungkook pouts. "Yeah, I haven't been getting much sleep lately."Jungkook wishes he could continue his dream. It seemed so real. Jungkook gazes up at Taehyung as he walks back to the kitchen.Plan 'Seduce Kim Taehyung' initiated.☕️

----- CHAPTER BREAK -----

Jungkook takes a fork full of spaghetti and shoves it in his mouth. His eyes start glowing. Who needs sex when you have this. "It's so good!" He says going in for more.Taehyung smiles so hard that his eyes disappear into crescents. Jungkook loved the way Taehyung's mouth turned box-shaped when he smiled."I'm glad you like it," Taehyung says, happy that Jungkook likes the food. "You're so cute when you eat."Jungkook blushes. He still isn't used to Taehyung showering him in compliments. "What did you put in it to make it this good?""Umm, It's a secret family recipe," Taehyung says, with an unsteady voice."You can tell me," Jungkook says, trying to put on a cute voice and slightly shaking his shoulders."Don't do that," Taehyung says sternly."Do what?" Jungkook asks innocently."You know..."*phone rings*"Sorry, I need to take this call," Taehyung apologises.Jungkook pouts. He had momentum there. Jungkook gets his phone camera out and starts pulling sexy faces. How is he going to seduce the boy? Maybe if he licks the sauce of his fork."Don't make me jealous of a fork babe." Taehyung laughs while putting his phone down. Damn, caught."Who was it?" Jungkook asks, tilting his head."It was nothing. Don't worry about it," Taehyung smiles. "What were you dreaming about in your sleep by the way?"Jungkook chokes on his spaghetti. "I didn't dream... at least I don't think I did." Jungkook lies. He can't just say he was having a wet dream about him. Jungkook is still pissed that he woke up in the best part."I'm not going to lie but, I watched you sleep for a good five minutes," Taehyung confesses."That's creepy!""But you were so cute," Taehyung whines.
☕️
The two were watching a movie snuggled up on the couch. Jungkook wasn't paying attention, though. He was too busy trying to think of ways to get into Taehyung's pants. Why can't he take the hint?"Stop moving around," Taehyung demands.Jungkook smirks, he has an idea. Jungkook leans back into Taehyung's crotch. "I'm just trying to get comfy," He says innocently.Bingo, Jungkook can feel something poking his back. Jungkook decides to move again, sitting up, so his ass is against Taehyung's crotch."Jungkook, stop moving," Taehyung groans.Jungkook rolls his eyes, can't he take the hint. "I can't get into the movie." Jungkook whines."We can choose a different movie," Taehyung says, kissing Jungkook's neck.Jungkook moans.Taehyung stopped breathing for a few seconds, trying to process what just came out of the younger's mouth.Jungkook swears that was not on purpose. Jungkook turns around to straddle Taehyung. "T-That was an accident."Taehyung reaches out to move a strand of Jungkook's hair that ran out of place before closing the gap between their lips. Taehyung's hands slowly caressed Jungkook's sides. Jungkook couldn't take it anymore and started to grind his crotch against Taehyung's slowly.Taehyung moans into the kiss, bringing a hand up to the back of Jungkook's head. Jungkook's head rolls back, breaking the kiss, letting Taehyung run his fingers through the younger's hair.Taehyung starts placing kisses down Jungkook's neck, causing him to moan. "Touch me," Jungkook begs.Taehyung roams his underneath Jungkook's shirt, caressing Jungkook's body. "I don't think you're ready, baby."Jungkook looks into Taehyung's eyes; his eyes were full of lust. "W-what do you mean."Jungkook goes to lean in for another kiss, but Taehyung intercepts it with his finger. "You can't get me too excited."Jungkook mentally groans. Jungkook could care less where his first time is, he just wanted Taehyung to take him here right now. "Why not." Jungkook huffs."I have to get up early for work, and if you get me too excited, I would want to ravish you all night," Taehyung whispers into Jungkook's ear sending chills down the boy's spine.Jungkook sighs in defeat. It's okay he tells himself as he gets off Taehyung's lap. Jungkook's ego took a blow.
☕️
"I can't believe it! I spent all night trying to seduce him," Jungkook complains through the phone. "We shared a bed! He had the opportunity and didn't take it!""It's nice knowing about your sex life Jungkook or well, lack of one, but why are you telling me this?" Minjae asks on the other side of the phone."Because I have no one who will listen and you are the only one who knows about Taehyung and me," Jungkook whines. "Anyways, we made out and like maybe I'm a bad kisser... that's why he stopped?!""You could kiss me to test that theory.""Fuck off Minjae," Jungkook snaps. "Maybe I'm not sexually attractive.""Yeah. That's the answer," Minjae says sarcastically."You're not helping! I'm hanging up." Jungkook hangs up and pouts. He's still in Taehyung's apartment. Taehyung left early leaving a note.Sorry babe. I let you sleep in because you were too cute to wake up. Grab whatever you want for breakfast."Too cute?" Jungkook says to himself. Maybe he should be more manly.Jungkook takes his clothes off and studies himself in the mirror. "He doesn't find me attractive enough?"
☕️
"Hey Jimin, would you have sex with me?" Jungkook asks.Jimin choked on his saliva "Excuse me?""No, no! I don't mean it literally. I meant, am I attractive enough that people would want to you know..." Jungkook says, looking down at his lap."So you're asking if I find you attractive enough to have sex with?" Asks, still confused on why Jungkook brought this up."Y-Yeah.""You're an attractive person Jungkook, don't doubt yourself," Jimin says sweetly."So you would sleep with Jungkook?" Hoseok joins.Jimin blushes. "I didn't mean it that way.""I would sleep with Professor Seokjin," Jiyeon chimes."Why are we talking about this in the cafeteria!?" Jimin says flushed."Anyways! The dance club auditions are today. Hope to see you there Jungkook," Hoseok says, smiling."Don't worry if you didn't prepare anything to show. You can just freestyle," Jimin adds."I will be there after class." Jungkook smiles.*phone vibrates*
Mum:

Hey honey, how are things going at school?

----- CHAPTER BREAK -----

"Hey, mum... All things are good here," Jungkook says into the phone."I hope you're eating well and studying hard.""I always do mum. So.. what are you calling for?""Can't I call to say hi to my son?" She says, acting offended."Oh, of course." Jungkook laughs awkwardly."Have you met someone? A special girl maybe?" She asks."Mum! You told me to focus on my studies.""Okay okay. Your dad would be so proud of you studying law.""Y-yeah," If only he knew his father. "I have to go now. Love you, mum.""Aww okay, honey. Call me more often, okay? Love you."Jungkook sighs as he ends the call."Are you okay, Jungkook?" Jimin asks worriedly."Yeah, I'm fine," Jungkook replies, smiling back at Jimin.☕️Jungkook looks around at all the dancers warming up in awe. "Jungkook! You made it." Jimin runs up to Jungkook excited."Yeah, I said I would come," Jungkook says, smiling back at Jimin. Jungkook won't lie, he is excited to try this out."I'm sure you will get in," Jimin assures."Isn't being a dance major and being in the dance club overkill for you Jimin?" Jungkook asks."No, the dance club is run by dance majors. It's good on our resume," Jimin explains. "Also here is your number so the judges can call you by your number." Jimin hands the sticker to Jungkook. His number is 7.A pretty girl with a slender figure that would drive any straight man crazy walks up to the front of the dance studio with a microphone. "Everyone find a spot and get ready. We are going to play two songs. The songs are different styles to show off how you can adapt to the music. After that, we will call each person individually so you can showcase an individual performance." She then sits at the table next to Hoseok with both of their name tags displayed. 'Hyuna' So she must be a judge.Jungkook finds his spot and starts to stretch. He is suddenly feeling nervous. Looking around the room, everyone seemed to be calm."Okay, the first song is going to play," Hyuna announces. A hip hop track starts to play. Jungkook moves his body to the beat naturally and focuses his vision on himself in the mirror. Jungkook would consider himself a good dancer; he just never danced in front of other people before.The bystanders were shouting support while we danced. Jungkook can here Jimin's voice shouting out his name, and he smiles to himself. The second track starts to play and everyone gasps in anticipation. "It's Britney bitch" The song was Gimme More by Britney Spears. Jungkook laughs to himself, here we go."Yas! Sexy, sexy!" Hyuna shouts clapping along. "I want to see people on the floor!"Jungkook tries his best to manoeuvre his body in a sexy manner, rolling his hips sensually to the beat. As Jungkook goes in for the slut drop, Jimin shouts "YAAAS JUNGKOOK GET IT!" Where did Jungkook get the sudden confidence to go this far?The music stops, and the bystanders cheer. "We are going to call individuals now," Hoseok announces to the dancers."Number 9, name please.""Choi Yeonjun." The boy replies, bowing. A 90's boyband song starts to play, and the boy starts to dance along like he owned the song. Jungkook stares in awe, captivated by the boy's dancing. The boy ends his dance, and everyone applauds."Number 2, you're next. Name please?"A girl with stunning visuals walks up and bows. "Lee Mijoo." 4minute's Crazy starts to play, and the girl begins nailing the choreography perfectly.Hyuna notions the DJ to change the song and Infinite's Comeback Again starts to play. Mijoo adapts to the change of music and executes the choreography with ease. As the song ends, everyone cheered her name. Jungkook claps nervously, hoping that a song he is familiar with plays when it's his turn."Number 7, you're up," Jungkook stands up nervous. "Name please.""Jeon Jungkook." He says bowing. He is the centre of attention, and it's taking a toll on his nerves."You can do it, Jungkook!" Jimin shouts calming Jungkook down. He takes a deep breath and gives the signal that he's ready.Rainism by Rain starts to play. The boy is happy that it's a song he knows. He begins doing the choreo, and everyone starts to cheer. Something took over Jungkook's body, and he starts to smirk, making every move more seductive. The song ends with immense applause."You did well," Jimin compliments, patting Jungkook's back as Jungkook sits down next to the boy."Thanks." Jungkook smiles. They continued to watch the other dancers together, cheering along with everyone.☕️"The people who have successfully made it into the club will be announced on the bulletin board Monday morning. Good luck everyone and I hope you all had fun," Hoseok announces as the audition comes to a close."For sure your name will be on there," Jimin says putting an arm around Jungkook's shoulder."Hopefully," Jungkook replies smiling shyly."Let's go to the cafe to celebrate! I will treat you before my shift starts," Jimin says, smiling back at Jungkook.They bid their goodbyes to everyone and made their way to the cafe.They walk into an unusually busy cafe. "Wow looks like you will be having fun this afternoon," Jungkook says to Jimin."Yeah. Poor Tae, he looks so stressed."Jungkook's ears perk up the moment he hears Taehyung's name. He looks over the boy behind the coffee machine and smiles; he is so hot when he's concentrating.They are finally at the front of the line. Jimin walks up to the counter. "Oh, hi, Jisu. Why are you here today?" He asks the girl serving him."Namjoon is on his man period. He made me come in because he can't organise a catering event for this weekend and work at the same time," Jisu says, rolling her eyes. "Taehyung is staying back to help you out tonight. It's unusually busy.""Oh thank god," Jimin sighs in relief. "I will start as soon as I finish up with Jungkook.""Take your time. So what do you want?" Jisu asks."One long black and a hot chocolate with marshmallows. Oh! And two of those cookies." He says, pointing at the cookies inside the cabinet."Alright, I will add it to your tab."Jimin thanks Jisu and turns to Jungkook. "Go and wait at our table. I will bring it out when it's ready. Jungkook nods and heads over to their usual spot surprised no one was sitting there.Jimin comes over with the order and sits down across from Jungkook. "It's funny that we are 'celebrating' this occasion and we don't even know if I got in yet," Jungkook says taking a bite of his cookie."Don't worry. Hoseok was one of the judges, even if you were a crap dancer, he would pass you.""Hey, that's not fair!""Luckily you're a good dancer." Jimin chuckles.Jungkook rolls his eyes and looks for a message on his coffee cup. He has started to expect some form of writing from Taehyung every time he ordered coffee. Jungkook pouts as he finds that the coffee cup was writing free. Maybe Taehyung is sick of him now. Perhaps he found Jungkook unattractive the other night.☕️

----- CHAPTER BREAK -----

Jungkook looks at himself in the mirror. Why won't Taehyung do things with him? Jungkook doesn't understand. The boy sighs and looks at his phone. No messages. He opens Taehyung's chat and starts to type. No. He will look too desperate he tells himself.He messages Minjae.
Jungkook:

Sleep with me.
Jungkook isn't in the right mindset. He is going insane. He wants to know that someone wants him. He feels lonely.
Minjae:

No. Are you drunk?
Jungkook groans and throws his phone onto the bed. Not even Minjae wants to sleep with him. He is undesirable. Not that he was going to sleep with Minjae. He just wanted to see his reaction.Jimin walks into the room. He must have just finished his shift. "Hey, Jungkook." He smiles."Jimin... can you kiss me?" Jungkook asks, getting up from the bed walking towards the boy."W-What?" Jimin walks backwards taken aback."Kiss me.." Jungkook pleads.Jimin's back hits the door. He doesn't know what to do. He should be turning Jungkook down, but in his heart, he can't.Their lips meet. At first, Jimin didn't react to the kiss, but he couldn't help himself. Jimin melted into the kiss, kissing back with the same passion. Lust was taking over.Jimin pushes Jungkook towards the bed and straddles the boy, reaching down to take the boy's shirt off. Jungkook then helped Jimin take his shirt off.They continued to kiss with their hands roaming each other's bodies. Jungkook knows he shouldn't be doing this. He doesn't know what possessed his body."Are you sure you want this?" Jimin asks in between kisses."I need this," Jungkook says, kissing down Jimin's neck trailing towards the boy's chest.Jimin moans and grabs Jungkook's head. This is so wrong. Guilt is starting to build up in Jungkook's gut.Tears start to fall out of Jungkook's eyes. What has he done? He has gone too far.Jimin notices and brings Jungkook's face up to look him in the eyes. "Are you okay, Jungkook." He asks wiping away Jungkook's tears."I-I'm so sorry Jimin," Jungkook says in between sobs. "I've fucked up.""It's okay, Jungkook." Jimin tries to calm the boy down.Jungkook cries, hugging Jimin. "You're too nice. You're too good for me, Jimin. You should be mad at me and curse me out.""I couldn't do that to you Jungkook," Jimin says, running his fingers through Jungkook's hair. "Let's get you dressed, and we can forget that this happened.""Thanks, Jimin."☕️The weekend has passed, and Jungkook still feels crap about what happened the other day. He was at bulletin board waiting for Jimin to confirm that his name was on the new member's list. "Jungkook! You got in!" Jimin jumps up and down in excitement.He wants to be happy, but how can he after what he has done. Jungkook puts on a fake smile."We are going to have so much fun being in the dance club together," Jimin says joyfully. "Now we should do a proper celebration!"Hoseok walks up to the two. "Congratulations Jungkook! Hyuna was impressed by your dancing and begged me to put you on the list." He leans in to whisper into Jungkook's ear. "Even though I would have written your name on there, to begin with.""Thank you so much," Jungkook says, smiling back at Hoseok. "I promise I will do my best.""I will walk you to class," Jimin offers.The two boys walk in silence."I won't be in the cafeteria for lunch. I have to work." Jimin pouts breaking the silence."You don't have to say yes every time Namjoon calls you in," Jungkook says worried about Jimin's workload. "You have so much on your plate as it is.""Maybe you should apply for a job there as well!" Jimin suggests. "We are always so understaffed.""I will think about it," Jungkook smiles. "I guess I will see you later on tonight?""Yes. See you tonight." Jimin says, bidding his farewell.☕️"What was up with the text?" Minjae asks Jungkook as he sits down."Hi Jungkook, how are you. Good thanks. How about yourself?" Jungkook says sarcastically."Okay princess, how are you?" Minjae retorts back with the same sarcasm. "No, but really? Why?""It was nothing. Forget about it." Jungkook replies, embarrassed."It wasn't nothing," Minjae interrogates Jungkook. "Someone is sexually frustrated.""Shut up Minjae.""Maybe I can help you." Minjae winks."I'm not talking to you," Jungkook says, putting his hand out to push Minjae's face the other direction.Jiyeon walks into the classroom. "What the hell guys. Why are you two here so early."The two boys look at each other, then look at Jiyeon shrugging."Are you guys like secretly dating?" Jiyeon snickers."No!" Jungkook exclaims."Good. That would be a shame," Jiyeon says, still unimpressed. "I'm too busy thinking about what Professor Seokjin will be wearing today to care anyways."The lecture starts, but Jungkook can't focus on the information in front of him. He wants to see Taehyung, but he feels sick thinking about what he did to Jimin. He has to tell Jimin about Taehyung.☕️Jungkook decides not to go to the cafe today. He thinks that Taehyung probably doesn't care if he turns up or not. He will just stick his head into his textbooks. Studying can be therapeutic, right? Who is he kidding?
Jungkook:
I miss you.Jungkook locks his phone, regretting sending the message. Jungkook gets up to have a shower. Maybe that will clear his mind.The water feels so good against his skin. Jungkook leans his head against the wall, letting the water trickle down his back. He starts to think about stuff he shouldn't be thinking. Jungkook's cheeks flare and he's not sure if it's because of the hot water or the dirty thoughts running wild through his mind."T-Taehyung." Jungkook moans.Jungkook tries to stop the urges and snap out of it, but he couldn't control his hormones. He wants Taehyung so bad that it hurts.☕️

----- CHAPTER BREAK -----

Jungkook walks out of the shower to a message from Taehyung.
Taehyung:

I miss you too baby~ You didn't come in today T.T
Jungkook pouts. Well, why didn't he send Jungkook a message? Why was there no message on the coffee cup?
Jungkook:

I thought you were ignoring me.
Jungkook eagerly waits for a reply.*phone rings*Jungkook jumps and answers the phone instantly. "Hello?""What do you mean ignoring you?" Taehyung whines."I-I thought because you haven't messaged me and you didn't write anything on the coffee cup the other day," Jungkook replies shyly."I'm sorry baby. I couldn't find the marker that day, and we were so busy." Taehyung explains. "If I knew this was how you felt, I would have messaged you right away!"Jungkook wants to ask why he won't sleep with him, but he was too shy. Relationships can thrive without sex, right? Well, they haven't made it clear if they were official yet. "Sorry I doubted you...""No, don't apologise. I'm sorry for not paying enough attention. I will treat you soon, baby, I just have to free up some time.""What are you wearing?" Jungkook asks with not so innocent intentions."Um, I just finished work, so I'm still in my work clothes. Why?""I was just wondering," Jungkook says, trying to put on a seductive voice."Aww, you're so cute Jungkook. I have to cook dinner, so talk later?""Oh, um, yeah sure," Jungkook says, disappointed Taehyung didn't get the hint. That's all he thinks of Jungkook. Jungkook can only be cute."Don't be sad, baby. I promise to message you more." Taehyung says in a sweet voice."Okay, talk to you later." Jungkook hangs up the phone.Jimin walks into the room, and Jungkook looks up to him pouting."Is this the part where we kiss?" Jimin jokes."I mean... if you wan-""I was joking!" Jimin exclaims."I know." Jungkook laughs.☕️Jungkook looks at the screen of his phone blankly. It is 1 am, and Jimin is sleeping peacefully on the other side of the room. He thinks, maybe he should send Taehyung nudes. Maybe if the boy saw him naked, he would be sexually attracted to him.Jungkook thinks it's sad that all that's on his mind right now is how to get laid. You can't blame him. It's Taehyung's fault for coming on too strong in the first place. Besides he doesn't want to be a 40-year-old virgin.Jungkook gets up and walks to the bathroom, closing the door behind him softly, making sure not to wake Jimin. He then proceeds to take his clothes off only leaving on his underwear. He gets his phone out and starts posing in the mirror, biting his lips. He slowly pulls down the waistband of his underwear, making sure not to expose too much.Maybe this is not enough. Jungkook proceeds to take off his underwear and starts to take pictures of his ass. He laughs at some of the ridiculous poses he made and deletes half of the photos, choosing only a select few to send.Jungkook puts his clothes back on and makes his way back to the bed. He selects the pictures and sends without a second thought.
Minjae:

Ummm Jungkook? Thanks?
Jungkook screeches in shock. "No, no, no. This can't be happening."Jimin stirred in his sleep, startling Jungkook. Jungkook wants to die.
Jungkook:

They weren't meant for you!!!! DELETE NOW!!!

Minjae:

Well.. how can I delete them now~ you gave me some nice fap material~~ Nice ass princess.

Jungkook:

I WILL ACTUALLY KILL YOU. DELETE THEM NOW.

Minjae:

So who were they meant for then?

Jungkook:

NO ONE. DELETE

Minjae:

Taehyung? You sneaky little boy. Here you are trying to fool everyone that you're innocent.

Jungkook:

Die.
Maybe Jungkook should skip uni tomorrow.☕️Jungkook walks into class with his head down, knowing that Minjae was looking right at him. There is no way he can look Minjae in the eyes now."Hey princess," Minjae croons."Don't talk to me," Jungkook says."You should show me that ass in person sometime," Minjae says, smirking.Jungkook ignores, putting his head into his arms that were resting on the desk."Hey Jungkook, I found photos of Professor Seokjin when he was a child. Wanna see?" Jiyeon asks."No. How do you even have those anyway?" Jungkook replies, not lifting his head."I found his personal blog online," Jiyeon claims proudly. "I've been reading it all morning.""How did you manage to find that." Minjae scoffs."Umm just google his name dumbass," Jiyeon snaps."You googled his name?" Minjae Chuckles."Yes. I did," Jiyeon says in a monotone voice."Wake me up when class starts," Jungkook says, resting his eyes. Today hasn't started well.☕️"Welcome to the dance club," Hyuna announces. "Everyone form a circle so we can do introductions."Jungkook sits next to Jimin since he knows no one in the club yet. The boy sitting on the other side of Jungkook would be Yeonjun if Jungkook remembered correctly. "Jungkook? Right? I'm Yeonjun." The boy holds out a hand to Jungkook.Jungkook shakes the boy's hand."Yes, that's me. Nice to meet you." Jungkook smiles."I loved your dance the other day, and I hope I get put in your group," Yeonjun chirps."That would be great! Watching you dance made me so nervous. It's amazing being surrounded by amazing dancers.""Okay, we will start from that side of the circle," Hyuna says, pointing at a girl on the other side of the circle. That's when Jungkook zones out. What would Taehyung be thinking right now? Jungkook wishes he was on Taehyung's mind, cause Taehyung is definitely on his.Jungkook plans on going to the cafe today. He can't wait for Taehyung to tell him when he has free time. He will demand Taehyung to spend time with him tonight.Jimin nudges Jungkook out of his daydream. It must be his turn to introduce himself. "I'm Jeon Jungkook, and I'm new to all this dancing stuff. I've never actually danced in front of people before.""Wow! You dance so well, though?" Hyuna gasps in disbelief. "What do you major?""Law," Jungkook says, shyly.Hyuna laughs. "You can get it, law, boy."Jungkook sits silently listening to the rest of the introductions. Jungkook has butterflies in his stomach. It's been a while since he has tried something new out. He needed this to keep himself sane.☕️

----- CHAPTER BREAK -----

Jungkook was sitting in his allocated group for dance club. They were discussing choreography ideas for their project."I think we should go for a contemporary concept," Jimin suggests."I think maybe hip hop or urban," Yeonjun says brainstorming possible concepts on a piece of paper."Since we have three people, we can easily show individual styles in our piece," Jungkook says while lying down on his back."The song choices are important. There could be scouts looking for potential trainees or backup dancers when we perform at the end of the semester," Jimin adds while flicking through his phone looking for inspiration."Maybe we should go for a sexy concept. We could captivate the audience with our good looks," Yeonjun suggests, wiggling his eyebrows up and down suggestively."I second on that," Jungkook says sitting up. "I want to show people I can be sexy and not just cute.""You have what it takes." Jimin smiles."We will have all the boys and girls drooling by the end of the performance!" Yeonjun laughs."Don't get too ahead of yourself." Jimin laughs along."Well, the concept is decided," Jungkook says, standing up. "I'm happy I have you two as my partners.""I will create a group chat for us!" Yeonjun announces."I've already booked a dance room for us tomorrow, so I guess we will all meet again there?" Jimin says, standing up as well."Great! I will see you two tomorrow," Yeonjun says, cheerfully.They bid their goodbyes before leaving the dance studio.Jimin and Jungkook head to the cafe together. Jungkook has been dying to see Taehyung's face all day. He didn't end up sending those revealing photos to Taehyung after all. He was too embarrassed to even look at them after the slip-up. He still has to make sure Minjae deleted them."How did you end up becoming friends with Taehyung?" Jimin asks curiously."Um, I guess because I was always at the cafe and we ended often speaking," Jungkook replies. "I guess he was friendlier because he knew we were roommates.""I find it interesting. Taehyung is quite popular with the ladies. Girls come in just to see him," Jimin says nonchalantly.This had Jungkook pouting, hating the idea of other girls around Taehyung. Taehyung is his only. "Well, he is quite handsome," Jungkook says."You find him attractive?" Jimin asks.Jungkook blushes. "Well yeah of course, who wouldn't?""Do you think I'm attractive?""Jimin! Don't say things like that." Jungkook pouts."Why? Am I ugly?" Jimin asks pretending to be offended."No! You're good looking. There. Happy?"Jimin smiles. "Aww, thanks Jungkookie." Jimin hugs Jungkook before they walk into the cafe.Jungkook locks eyes with Taehyung, but Taehyung doesn't smile at him. Jungkook is confused."Go ahead and order Jungkook. I have to go get changed right away." Jimin says patting Jungkook on the back before heading to the change room.The girl in front of Jungkook seems to be taking her time ordering. He looks up and notices Taehyung is serving her. He looks happy to see the girl."I missed you so much, Tae! You are getting more handsome each day."Is that girl flirting with Taehyung? Jungkook's blood starts to boil. He's not jealous, he tells himself."Also, thanks for the sweet message the other day. It made me want to see you right away," the girl chimes.Who does she think she is? What the fuck is Taehyung doing? He wants to wipe that grin off his face. What does she have that he doesn't?"You know you can come and see me any time," Taehyung says, still smiling. Jimin was right; he is being played by a player.The girl stands to the side, waiting for her coffee. Jungkook makes sure that he gives her the dirtiest side glare as she walks away."Who's the girl?" Jungkook asks."Hi, Jungkook. It's nice to see you," Taehyung chuckles. "She's my cousin.""W-What?""Aww were you jealous? You're such a cutie," Taehyung reaches out to pinch Jungkook's cheeks. "I should be the one jealous, to be honest. You were getting all cuddles with Jimin. Where is my hug?""I'm not jealous!" Jungkook blushes. "Just make my coffee." Jungkook storms off to his usual table.He was so sure that the girl was into Taehyung, but it turns out she was his cousin. Jungkook can't help but embarrass himself everywhere he goes."Coffee for my prince," Taehyung says, placing the coffee onto the table. "We ran out of cookies, unfortunately.""Noooo, I look forward to the cookie the most." Jungkook pouts. It is the only thing he enjoys consuming in this cafe since he hates the coffee."I will give you an extra one next time," Taehyung says ruffling Jungkook's hair.Taehyung heads back to work while Jungkook gets his books out to study. He thought he might as well be productive. He looks at the coffee cup to check if Taehyung wrote anything on it.My JungkookJungkook blushes for like the 100th time. Taehyung does know how to smooth talk him.Wait, there's more. Jungkook turns the coffee cup to reveal some more writing:Come to mine tonight?Jungkook chokes on air. It's his chance. He is being rewarded finally after all the torture the boy has been through lately.He looks up at the barista and locks eyes with him. Taehyung smirks then gives Jungkook a wink. Jungkook is on edge, how is he supposed to study now that all he has on his mind is what's happening tonight*phone vibrates*
Minjae:

I need help. Can you come to my place?
Jungkook scoffs and starts to write a reply.
Jungkook:

No. I'm busy.
There is no way he is going to pass on Taehyung's offer for Minjae.
Minjae:

I will tell Taehyung about your secret.
Jungkook's eyes widen. He wouldn't.
Jungkook:

You wouldn't.

Minjae:

Yes, I would. Come now.
Jungkook curses under his breath. Looks like he has no choice. He needs to get this done as fast as he can so he has enough time to see Taehyung tonight, but something tells him Minjae has other plans for the boy.☕️

----- CHAPTER BREAK -----

Jungkook is waiting patiently outside of Minjae's house. He had rung the doorbell at least five times, and there is still no answer.Jungkook pulls out his phone to text the boy.
Jungkook:

Where the hell are you? I'm out the front.
Just on cue, the door swings open to Minjae leaning on the door frame suggestively."Ummm." Jungkook still doesn't know why he is here."Jungkook, you're finally here," Minjae croons, sounding a bit off."Are you okay?""I'm superb," Minjae says, struggling to keep his balance."What... are you drunk?!" Jungkook asks."No," Minjae slurs. "I told you I'm superb."You have to be kidding. Jungkook doesn't have time for a drunk Minjae. "What do you want?""You," He says, pointing at Jungkook.Jungkook coughs. "Excuse me?""I've been thinking about that ass for a while," Minjae starts to say while closing the door. "It would look so pretty around my dick.""What the fuck Minjae?" Jungkook raises his voice slightly. "I'm out of here.""Wait, no! Don't go.""Bye." Jungkook turns to walk back to the door."Please... I'm just so lonely," Minjae pleads."We are not having sex because you are lonely.""I was joking. I didn't mean that.""You need to sober up. I will get you a glass of water." Jungkook tries to find where the kitchen is."The kitchen is on the left." Minjae hiccups.☕️The two sit in silence at the dining table. Jungkook can't believe Minjae was drunk at this time of the day. Something must have happened."Why are you like this Minjae?" Jungkook asks."You're probably not interested. It doesn't matter.""Tell me... I might be able to help you.""You want to help me?" Minjae smirks."Not in that way!""I know," Minjae stares at the glass in front of him. "I'm sorry for calling you over.""It's fine. You were drunk. You're not in the right state of mind," Jungkook says, understandingly."It's her birthday...""Who?""My ex-girlfriend."What? He had a girlfriend?"She dumped me on her birthday two years ago. Her reason was that she didn't find me exciting. I was too nice to her, apparently." Minjae downs the rest of the water. "After that, I slept around with nearly anyone to ease the pain. I was not myself anymore. I started mistreating people because I thought that's what she would find attractive.""You know that's ridiculous. It's her loss for passing up on someone who loves you.""I messaged you because... you remind me of her."Jungkook's eyes widen. Did he hear correctly? "I'm sorry to hear?""Don't be sorry.""How do I remind you of her?" Jungkook asks."Well... the way you compose yourself. You two have the same smile." Minjae smiles, thinking about it."Oh.. isn't that a bad thing that I remind you of your ex?""No, I thought it was a bad thing the moment I first saw you. You were smiling with Jiyeon, and it triggered some bad memories.""Oh...""I'm sorry for acting the way I did when we first met.""It's okay. We are fine now." Jungkook thinks that maybe he is too forgiving. He did just try to blackmail Jungkook. "You deleted those photos right?"Minjae tilts his head in confusion."Don't look at me like you don't know!""Oh, haha. Yeah, I wouldn't keep them against your will.""So.. why did you threaten to blackmail me just then?!" Jungkook asks, slightly upset."I was going to tell Tae that you didn't like his coffee." Minjae laughs."You're kidding, right?" Jungkook stands up abruptly. "I came all the way here because of that?!""Whoa calm down there, princess.""I have places to be!" Jungkook exclaims."Aww, I was hoping I could see that ass in person." Minjae teases."You have no filter!""I'm only playing around with you sweet cakes.""Okay. Now I'm leaving," Jungkook announces."You're not going to give me a goodbye kiss?" Minjae says in a fake cute voice."Fuck no.""Little Minjae is unhappy.""That's not my problem. Enjoy your alone time with your hand," Jungkook says while walking out the front door. "Bye, Minjae."Jungkook closes the door behind him, ignoring Minjae's protests and looks down at the time on his phone. He has enough time if he catches an uber to Taehyung's place.Jungkook looks through his messages while he waits for the uber.
Taehyung:

Are you still coming over tonight? I'm thinking about just ordering take out.

Taehyung:

Hello? You there?

Taehyung:

Where are youuuu, I miss youuu and I need youuu
Jungkook laughs at the last message and types a quick reply just as the uber pulls up in front of him."Jungkook is it?" The uber driver asks."Yep, that's me."☕️Jungkook knocks on the door waiting for Taehyung to open it. He should probably text Jimin that he will be home late tonight or not at all.Taehyung opens the door and invites Jungkook inside. "Took your time." Taehyung whines."Sorry! I was caught up with some things." Jungkook apologises."What happened?" Taehyung asks."A friend needed some advice." Jungkook chuckles nervously."Is that so," Taehyung tilts his head thinking. "Sure you're not going around cheating on me?"Jungkook chokes. "No! We aren't even an official couple yet anyways.""Oh," Taehyung says, furrowing his brows.Jungkook thinks he might have said something wrong."So what are we-" Jungkook starts before being cut off by Taehyung's finger on his lips.Taehyung leans in and kisses Jungkook on the lips. Jungkook was so caught up in the moment that he accidentally slipped out a moan."Someone's excited," Taehyung says in a low, raspy voice breaking the kiss."S-Sorry," Jungkook says out of breath before leaning in for a second kiss.Taehyung slowly pushes Jungkook towards the wall. "It's okay baby. I forgive you." He says in between kisses.Jungkook can feel his member slowly harden. Taehyung slips his hands up Jungkook's shirt, rubbing circles around his nipples. Jungkook moans into the kiss, grasping onto the bottom of Taehyung's shirt."T-Take it off." Jungkook pleads.Taehyung takes his shirt off, which ruffled his hair in the process. He then helps Jungkook take his shirt off. They stare at each other for a few seconds, eyes filled with pure lust.Taehyung starts to place kisses down Jungkook's neck, causing the younger to roll his head back moaning.Taehyung continues down to Jungkook's stomach, leaving a trail of kisses. He stops in front of Jungkook's crotch, noticing how hard the younger is. "May I?" He asks."P-Please," Jungkook begs.Taehyung unbuckles Jungkook's belt and pulls his pants down. He teases Jungkook, slowly pulling on his underwear. His member springs out in front of Taehyung's face. Taehyung teasingly licks from the bottom of the shaft up to the tip before engulfing its entirety."Tae..." Jungkook moans. He has been waiting so long for this. He leans back, hands placed on the wall for support.Taehyung bobs up and down keeping a consistent pace. He roamed his hands up Jungkook's thighs, appreciating the smooth curves. Jungkook was now a moaning mess. "M-more." He begs.Taehyung hums, acknowledging Jungkook's plead, sending waves of vibrations onto Jungkook's member. The pleasure was intense; Jungkook was getting closer to the edge.Taehyung picks up the pace, using one of his hands to massage Jungkook's balls. He could feel Jungkook's body tense up. He knew that Jungkook was close to cumming."Taehyung... I'm going to-" It was too late. Jungkook came into Taehyung's mouth, lightly thrusting to ride out his orgasm. Taehyung swallows and stands up to kiss Jungkook. Jungkook was still coming down from his high, panting in between kisses.They break apart, and Jungkook looks down at the bulge in Taehyung's pants. "Let me return the favour," Jungkook says, licking his lips.Jungkook kneels and starts to unbuckle Taehyung's belt. He pulls down Taehyung's pants with his underwear, watching his member spring out. Jungkook stares in awe. It was huge.Jungkook goes in to teasingly lick the tip while looking up, locking eyes with Taehyung. He then started kissing the tip lightly, making Taehyung whine. "Baby, no teasing, please. I want to feel you around my cock."Jungkook obeys and takes his member whole. He bobs up and down, moaning as Taehyung pulled at his hair. "Fuck baby, it's so good."Taehyung uses his hands to hold Jungkook's head in place. Lust took over his body as he thrusts his member down Jungkook's throat. Jungkook gags a little, but takes it all in, not wanting to disappoint."Baby, I'm going to cum," He says thrusting at a faster pace. He cums, riding his orgasm in Jungkook's mouth. Jungkook swallows Taehyung's load before Taehyung pulls him up for one last passionate kiss."You are so pretty," Taehyung says moving a strand of hair out of Jungkook's eyes.Jungkook blushes, he doesn't know what to say back to the other. They looked into each other's eyes, smiling. There was no hint of regret.They spend the rest of the night cuddling, sneaking kisses and playing games.Jungkook thinks he has fallen for the barista.☕️

----- CHAPTER BREAK -----

Jungkook wakes up in the arms of Taehyung. The elder was spooning him, still deep in sleep. Jungkook smiles, thinking about the events that happened last night.Taehyung moved slightly in his sleep, and that's when Jungkook realises Taehyung's hard-on. It was poking his ass. Jungkook's member starts to harden.Jungkook decides to grind his ass against Taehyung's crotch slowly. Taehyung groans in his sleep. Jungkook takes that as a sign to grind some more, trying to maximise the friction between the two."Someone's naughty," Taehyung says, tightening his grip around Jungkook. "So early in the morning too."Jungkook moans purposely, trying to provoke Taehyung. "Your dick against my ass got me too excited."Taehyung moans as Jungkook continues to grind back against his hard-on. "You're so needy baby," Taehyung says before placing light butterfly kisses onto Jungkook's neck.Jungkook breaks free of Taehyung's grasp and straddles the elder.Taehyung rests his hands onto Jungkook's hips, slowly massaging them. " You are so tempting..."Jungkook wants Taehyung inside of him. Right here, right now. They start grinding their crotches together, precum leaking through their underwear.Jungkook leans down to capture Taehyung's lips in a needy kiss. Taehyung reaches out to grope Jungkook's ass, which causes the younger to moan into the kiss."I want you.." Jungkook pleads."Want me?" Taehyung teases."I-I want you inside of me.""I can't baby," Taehyung says apologetically."W-Why?" Jungkook stops confused."I want our first time to be special," Taehyung says, reaching out to caress Jungkook's cheek."I'm sorry."Jungkook doesn't know whether to be happy because that was sweet or be mad. "B-But anytime is special as long as it's with you.""I promise it will be worth the wait." Taehyung kisses Jungkook one last time before getting up. "I will make breakfast for you."Jungkook is left on the bed pouting. He blushes thinking about what he would do to him. Jungkook starts to flail around the mattress, squealing to himself.☕️Jungkook sits down, watching Taehyung prepare breakfast. He wants to be official, but he is too shy to ask.Taehyung walks over with two plates of food and places them on the table. "I made you coffee as well, let me go get it," he says.Shit. Jungkook can't drink coffee in front of Taehyung. He can't pretend to like something under pressure, especially in front of Taehyung."Long black specially made for you. This new portable coffee machine I got doesn't do the best job, but it's doable.""Oh... thanks." Jungkook smiles before taking a sip. He burns his tongue, forgetting that long black's were hot."It's going to be hot at first." Taehyung chuckles.Great. He probably thinks Jungkook is a kid now. They continue to eat in silence. Taehyung is a fast eater, and it took Jungkook by surprise."Are you going to drink your coffee?" Taehyung asks."Uh- yeah.." Jungkook timidly picks the coffee cup up and starts sipping. He tries his hardest not to show his distaste for the beverage. Taehyung just watches, it's making Jungkook want to hurl from how nervous he is."Is it good?" He asks"Y-Yeah, you make the best coffee," Jungkook forces a smile. He feels terrible for lying to his face. "I love it.""I'm glad," Taehyung says as his face relaxes. "Want me to walk you to uni?""You don't have to.""I insist," Taehyung says, standing up to do the dishes."I will get my stuff ready then." It's his chance, Jungkook quickly downs the rest of the coffee cringing.☕️They walk together side by side. Jungkook wants to reach out and hold the elder's hand, but every time he goes to do it, he pulls back."So how do you know Minjae?" Jungkook asks."Well, we grew up together. Our parents were close, and our family might as well have adopted him.""So you must be close to him?""You could say that. He is more like an annoying brother that you love unconditionally. You should stay away from him, though.""Why is that?""Growing up, he always wanted what I had. I'm scared he might try and steal you away from me," Taehyung explains."You don't have to worry about that," Jungkook assures."He is a player. Don't trust his words. He will sleep with anything that has a hole," Taehyung warns."Hey, that's mean. Maybe he has a reason why he sleeps around?" Jungkook unconsciously defends Minjae."Just trust me." Taehyung pouts.Jungkook giggles. It's a rare seeing Taehyung being cute. "I trust you."They arrive at the university and Jungkook spots a familiar figure at the entrance. It's Minjae... with Yeonjun? What is he doing talking to Minjae?"We are here," Taehyung chimes turning towards Jungkook. "Goodbye-kiss," he says, leaning in."Not here! People can see." Jungkook covers Taehyung's mouth with his hand."So?" Taehyung smirks pulling Jungkook into an embrace before capturing Jungkook's lips.Jungkook enjoys the kiss for a few seconds before pushing Taehyung away in protest. "Hey! People will start gossiping." Jungkook smiles blushing."Enjoy your day, baby," Taehyung says as he ruffles Jungkook's hair. "Call me later." Taehyung turns to leave, and Jungkook stands there motionless. Everyone was staring at him now.He looks over to where Minjae was standing and locked eyes with the boy. Great. He totally saw everything.☕️"So that's where you went to in a rush last night," Minjae smirks. "Did you guys have fun? How is he in bed?""Shh not so loud," Jungkook hushes Minjae."This is some juicy information," Minjae smiles widely. "Hey Jiyeon, guess what?""No!" Jungkook covers Minjae's mouth with both of his hands. "I'm begging you," he angrily whispers."What are you two up to?" Jiyeon glares at the two, hiding something away from her."I heard we have a substitute teacher today." Minjae changes the topic."What?! No! I'm out of here if we do," Jiyeon says, upset over the new information."Are you saying you won't attend class if Professor Seokjin isn't running it?" Jungkook asks, confused."Yes," Jiyeon says, without a second thought.Minjae snorts."Okay everyone, Professor Seokjin is on sick leave at the moment, so that means I will be your substitute teacher today. The name is Min Yoongi, so I guess I'm Professor to you guys. I'm from the music department if anyone was interested," the new substitute teacher says while making his way to the desk."No... no," Jiyeon says in a shaky voice."I taught physical education one time and just made people run around a field. I assume law would be just as straight forward. Just don't break it guys." Yoongi rests his legs on the desk leaning back, hands behind the back of his head. "Self-study time," he announces."He's sick?! I need to make him chicken noodle soup." Jiyeon stands up abruptly. "But I don't know where he lives!" She kneels onto the ground having a mini-mental breakdown."Pssst, Jiyeon." Jungkook taps her shoulder. "Everyone is looking," he whispers.Jiyeon flails her hands around before getting up like nothing happened. "I'm fine," she says, smiling.Jungkook giggles. "I'm sure Professor Seokjin would want you to study hard while he is away."☕️Jungkook walks into the dance studio to Yeonjun sitting in front of the mirror trying to cover up something on his neck with makeup."Uh... hi Jungkook," Yeonjun says a little startled. "I can explain.""A hickey?" Jungkook guesses."Yeah.." Yeonjun awkwardly chuckles while applying concealer on his neck."I can keep a secret." Jungkook smiles. He wants to know all the details."Well, you see... my boyfriend loves to bite and suck on my neck. We made out in the janitors closet," Yeonjun smiles shyly.Jungkook couldn't cover up his surprised face. Someone who looks as innocent as Yeonjun saying something like that."I can explain! My boyfriend and I are quite... it's complicated." Yeonjun says."No judgement here." Jungkook smiles."So what's up with the guy you were getting all close with this morning?" Yeonjun says, wiggling his eyebrows up and down.Jungkook blushes. "Um, I haven't told anyone yet...""Oh my god, you are so cute!" Yeonjun squeals. "You have to tell me all about it." The boy whines."About what?" Jimin walks into the studio, plopping his bag down."Nothing!" Jungkook says in a slight panic—he can't tell Jimin yet. He isn't ready."Alright," Jimin chimes. "Let's get ready then," He says clapping to get the boys up. "Stretches!" ☕️

----- CHAPTER BREAK -----

The three had just finished practising and are now lounging on the studio floor. They had finished making the choreography for the first part of their performance, and Jungkook is proud of the product so far."I wish I could pursue something in the performing arts instead of doing law." Jungkook sighs."Hey my boyfriend is majoring law as well, maybe he is in your class?" Yeonjun chimes."Really? Who is it?" Jungkook asks."His name is Beomgyu.""Oh, I haven't spoken to him before." Jungkook thinks back to the boy who gave Minjae their number. Wait, is Yeonjun the boy Minjae was talking about?"You should change majors Jungkook," Jimin interrupts."Huh? I can't do that." Jungkook thinks that's entirely out of the books."Why not? You should follow your passion.""I can't disappoint my mum," Jungkook says sadly. "She wants what's best for me, and that's to get a good education that will lead to a high paying job.""You can't let your parents dictate your life Jungkook," Jimin argues."You don't understand!" Jungkook gets heated. "My mother is all I have. I owe her my life.""Think about it, Jungkook. You have to live the rest of your life doing something you don't enjoy just to please someone else.""Why do you even care Jimin?!" Jungkook raises his voice. "You don't understand." Tears start to fall down Jungkook's face."Jungkook..." Jimin says worriedly. Jungkook gets up and leaves the dance studio. He ignores the protests from the other two boys. He needs to be alone.Jimin comes running after Jungkook and grabs his hand, pulling the other to face him. "Jungkook! It's okay. I'm sorry. I'm just worried about you." He says embracing Jungkook.Jungkook dries up his tears, sniffling. "I'm sorry for lashing out at you...""Family is a touchy topic. I just want you to know that we are here for you," Jimin says, patting The back of Jungkook's head."Thank you, Jimin... I'm sorry." He feels terrible for lashing out at Jimin. He has a point, it's just Jungkook doesn't want to accept it.☕️The three decided to go to the cafe since the practice is over. Jungkook was excited to see Taehyung again, his mood did a 180 the moment they walked into the cafe, and he saw that beautiful face."Would love to have coffee with you guys but I have to clock on right away," Jimin apologises."That's all good. I have Yeonjun here to keep me company this time." Jungkook smiles."I'm so hungry! Do they do food here?" Yeonjun says, excited to eat."They only do cakes and sweets," Jungkook says."Guess that will have to do."Jimin goes to the back while Yeonjun and Jungkook head to the counter to order. "Wait isn't that the guy you were smooching out the front of uni?" Yeonjun whispers to Jungkook."Shhh, I will tell you about it when we sit down," Jungkook whispers back.Yeonjun devilishly grins at Jungkook."What does your friend here want?" Taehyung smiles sweetly at the two."Oh! I want cake. Like any cake is fine. And a caramel latte please." Yeonjun grins."Sit down, and I will bring it out to you guys." Taehyung grins back. Yeonjun's smile was contagious.They sit down at Jungkook's regular table. "Oh my god, he's so hot Jungkook. You lucky boy." Yeonjun fans himself."Yeonjun! You have a boyfriend." Jungkook giggles."I know. Can't I appreciate someone else's visuals?" Yeonjun pouts. "Are you two official?""Well... I don't know yet. We haven't talked about it." Jungkook says in deep thought.Taehyung comes over with the order, placing down all the items from his serving tray down onto the table. He then proceeds to ruffle Jungkook's hair before heading off.Yeonjun just looks at Jungkook with a knowingly smirk. Jungkook blushes."This looks delicious!" Yeonjun says before digging into the cake.Jungkook laughs and takes out a cookie. He bites into it mesmerised by the flavour once again. He was so upset that he couldn't get one last time."There is something written on your cup Jungkook." Yeonjun squints to try and read it across from the table.Jungkook picks up the coffee cup and reads what's written on the cup:
Be my boyfriend?
Jungkook turns red. Yeonjun snatches the cup out of Jungkook's hands too curious to wait.Yeonjun inwardly squeals. "That is fucking adorable.""I..." Jungkook is speechless. He looks up at the barista to see the boy sending him finger hearts. Jungkook laughs. Taehyung is such a goof.Jimin appears behind the counter tying his apron. Jungkook watches the exchange between Jimin and Taehyung curiously. Taehyung heads out the back while Jimin takes over. He wonders what Taehyung was doing.Jungkook snaps out of his gaze and looks over to Yeonjun."Jungkook you have to have some of this cake." Yeonjun was still stuffing his face.Taehyung reappears out of his work uniform and makes his way towards their table. Jungkook looks at Taehyung confused as he sits down next to Jungkook."Hey guys," Taehyung says as he takes the cookie out of Jungkook's hand to take a bite."Hey, that's mine!" Jungkook protests."I paid for it." Taehyung laughs."This cake is fucking amazing by the way," Yeonjun randomly says."I'm glad you like it." Taehyung smiles at Yeonjun."So why are you here? Don't you have work?" Jungkook asks, confused."I got to finish early. Jimin has help from Jisu tonight," He smiles. "So what is your answer?""M-My answer?" Jungkook blushes, clearly knowing what he is talking about."Go out with me?" Taehyung asks. "I finished early so we could go on a date."Jungkook smiles shyly. "I would love that."Yeonjun, on the other side of the table, was watching everything unfold before his eyes. "Don't mind me, guys! I was about to head off after this anyways."Jungkook smiles and mouths thank you towards Yeonjun for understanding. Yeonjun gives Jungkook a thumbs-up before getting up. "Enjoy your date guys." He wiggles his eyebrows up and down, knowingly and mouths to call him about it after.Taehyung grabs Jungkook's hand and leads him out of the cafe. Taehyung gets out keys that unlock a car in front of them."I didn't know you could drive?" Jungkook asks."Yeah, I can. It's my brother's car, though." Taehyung smiles, opening the door for Jungkook to get in.Jungkook gets in the car, excited for what's to come. He pinches himself to make sure that it wasn't a dream. He notices a business card on the floor of the car, so he grabs it out of curiosity and reads the name on it:
Kim Seokjin
☕️

----- CHAPTER BREAK -----

"Wait... why do you have a business card of my teacher?" Jungkook asks, confused."Oh, that's my brother," Taehyung says, putting an address into the GPS on his phone."Your brother?! You're telling me your brother was teaching me this whole time?" Jungkook asks surprised over the new information."Yeah," Taehyung chuckles. "Those cards were from when he wanted to be an actor, and he went around, handing them out to get his name out there.""Oh... then why did he become a teacher then?""Because it was more of a stable job. Our parents always looked down on acting as a career. It's sad because it was his passion." Taehyung sighs. "Even with me, they are always asking when I am going to get a proper job or go to uni."Jungkook sympathises with Taehyung. He feels he could relate to his situation. Jungkook didn't know what he wanted to do so he just chose law to appease his mother. Even after uni will he even get a job in a law firm?"Anyway enough of that, we are going on a date," Taehyung says winking at Jungkook.☕️"Where are you taking me?" Jungkook asks. They had been driving for a while now."Somewhere.""That's no help!" Jungkook pouts."We're almost there." Taehyung rests a hand on Jungkook's thigh.Jungkook winds down the window and hears the sound of the ocean. "We are going to the beach?!""You figured it out." Taehyung smiles.Taehyung parks and the two exit the car.The smell of the beach entices Jungkook. He misses the ocean. It was a bit cold, but Jungkook doesn't mind."I'm so excited." Jungkook jumps up and down while Taehyung grabs some stuff from the bootThey walk onto the beach and find a spot to lay the blanket down. "I made us a little picnic so we can watch the sunset on a full stomach.""Wow so thoughtful." Jungkook feels warm and fuzzy inside.He helps Taehyung unpack everything, and the two sit comfortably feeling the sea breeze go by. Jungkook loves the sound of waves crashing into the sand."You know, it has been a month since you first came into the cafe," Taehyung says, looking out at sea.Jungkook was surprised that Taehyung had kept track. "Really?""I knew the moment I first laid eyes on you." Taehyung turns to look into Jungkook's eyes."You knew what?" Jungkook stares back, lost in the boy's eyes."That you were the one for me." Taehyung reaches out to caress Jungkook's cheek before leaning in for a kiss. Jungkook's heartbeat was so loud; he felt like the whole beach could hear it. They kissed slowly but passionately. Jungkook wanted the kiss to last forever.They pull apart, and Jungkook cheekily grins at Taehyung. Jungkook reaches out to bop Taehyung's nose before running off in a fit of giggles."Hey! Get back here mister." Taehyung shouts out to Jungkook, getting up to run after him.Taehyung manages to catch up to the younger, pinning him down on the ground, both laughing.Taehyung bops Jungkook's nose in revenge. They roll around in the sand fighting for dominance. Jungkook manages to pin Taehyung down."Hah! Not as weak as you think," Jungkook's says, grinning down at Taehyung.Taehyung pulls Jungkook down into a kiss, startling the boy. Jungkook happily goes along with the kiss, whimpering softly. "C-Careful, you might get me too excited," Jungkook warns."We can't have that," Taehyung teases. "Let's walk back."They get up, walking back to the blanket. Taehyung reaches out to hold Jungkook's hand, intertwining their fingers together.They sit and watch the sunset."Have you told anyone about us?" Taehyung asks."Only Minjae and Yeonjun know.""You haven't told Jimin?""I'm too scared to tell him... I've been hiding it from him for a while even though he helped me get ready for our first date." Jungkook rests his head on Taehyung's shoulder."Well, you should tell him before he finds out from someone else. He's like your best friend.""He is probably the closest friend I've ever made, and I don't want to lose that." Jungkook didn't make many friends growing up. It's probably the reason why he had no trouble leaving his home town to start a new life.Jungkook sighs and looks over to the sunset. "Wow, it's beautiful."Taehyung hums in agreement. "Not as beautiful as you."Jungkook blushes. "That was so cheesy!"Taehyung laughs.☕️An hour later, the two were making out in the backseat of the car."We can't do this here," Taehyung groans."I don't care, I need this," Jungkook moans before going in for another kiss. Jungkook was straddling Taehyung while Taehyung's hands rested on Jungkook's perky ass.They break apart connecting their foreheads. Taehyung reaches out to take Jungkook's shirt off. "I can't hold it in any longer," He says in a deep sexy voice.He starts kissing down Jungkook's neck, littering kisses down to his collarbone. He bites down, sucking onto Jungkook's collarbone, marking him as his own. Jungkook rolls his head back, moaning. Jungkook starts to grind his crotch onto Taehyung's."Taehyung.." Jungkook moans as Taehyung starts teasing Jungkook's nipple with his tongue. They managed to remove all pieces of clothing before kissing again.Their erections were rubbing against each other, leaking with precum. Taehyung wraps his hand around both of their erections, stroking up and down."Please..." Jungkook moans out. "I want you inside of me." He begs"I don't have condoms or lube with me, baby. We can't do this... I don't want to hurt you." Taehyung says worried about Jungkook."I don't care. I want to feel closer to you."Taehyung flips their positions, so Jungkook was lying on the car seat. Taehyung positioned himself between the younger's legs."Suck it," Taehyung demands, holding out three of his fingers. Jungkook eagerly complies, sucking the fingers while staring into Taehyung's eyes.Taehyung removes his fingers from Jungkook's mouth and starts to rub circles around Jungkook's hole. Jungkook moans at the sensation, begging the boy to insert. Taehyung starts with one finger, thrusting in and out slowly, before entering another finger. Jungkook moans at the unfamiliar intrusion. When Taehyung felt Jungkook was ready, he inserts a third finger, scissoring his hole, making sure to loosen the boy's muscles for easier insertion. Jungkook needs all the preparation he can get."Tae.. please," Jungkook's moans pick up, becoming louder and more frequent."Your moans are music to my ears, baby. I want to make you scream my name," Taehyung leans over to whisper into Jungkook's ear, sending shivers down Jungkook's spine."Please... I'm ready." Jungkook arches his back moaning at the intense pleasure. Taehyung had found the special bundle of nerves he was looking for."It might hurt a little, baby, please tell me if I need to stop or go slower," Taehyung says, caressing Jungkook's thigh.Jungkook nods, giving Taehyung the sign to take his fingers out, causing Jungkook to moan for the 100th time. He positions his member in front of Jungkook's entrance, spitting into his hand to add more lubrication."I'm going to go in," Taehyung warns. He holds one of Jungkook's hands to soothe the boy. Jungkook's eyes widen as the tip of Taehyung's member enters his hole. "Tell me if it hurts," Taehyung says, worried about the other.Taehyung slowly pushes in until Jungkook's hole fully engulfed his member. "Tell me when to move," Taehyung says, rubbing circles on Jungkook's hip trying to soothe the younger."M-Move," Jungkook says, holding his breath. Taehyung moves slowly at first making sure the younger could handle it. Jungkook's grip on Taehyung's hand tightens."You okay baby?" Taehyung asks."F-Faster." Jungkook pleads. He thinks he can handle it. Taehyung complies with Jungkook's demand, thrusting in and out at a faster pace. The car windows had started to fog up, creating a steamy atmosphere."God, you are so tight baby," Taehyung moans. He couldn't help but go faster, making the younger moan louder with each thrust."Right there!" Jungkook moans loudly. He was hitting Jungkook's prostate over and over, causing the younger to see stars."Scream my name," Taehyung demands."Tae... Taehyung!""Fuck baby, this is so hot.""L-Let me ride you." Jungkook pleads.Taehyung lifts the younger onto him. Jungkook was now straddling Taehyung. Jungkook bounced up and down, moaning Taehyung's name over and over. Taehyung moans along with Jungkook, grabbing onto Jungkook's ass, thrusting upwards into Jungkook as he rode Taehyung.Jungkook is a moaning mess. He couldn't form words due to the intense pleasure. Taehyung reaches out to stroke Jungkook's member."I-I... I'm close." Jungkook gasps as Taehyung thrusts upwards at a faster pace."Cum for me," Taehyung demands.And so he does exactly that, spurting all over Taehyung's abdomen and chest. Jungkook's hole clenched over Taehyung's member as he orgasmed, sending Taehyung over the edge, cumming inside of Jungkook. Jungkook helps Taehyung ride out his orgasm before collapsing into Taehyung's arms."I can't believe you fucked me inside of your brother's car." Jungkook giggles.Taehyung laughs back while panting. "We better clean this up then."☕️

----- CHAPTER BREAK -----

"You're home late?" Jimin asks with suspicion in his eyes."Y-Yeah... was studying in the library." Jungkook blurts. Why does he feel like he needs to lie? He looks over at his textbooks on his desk and curses in his head. Taehyung had just dropped Jungkook off after their eventful day."Midterms coming up soon. Good luck with your studies." Jimin smiles. He is too pure for this world, Jungkook thinks.Jungkook throws his phone onto his bed and heads off to shower. He still feels a bit dirty after what happened. Jungkook couldn't believe what happened. He did it in the backseat of a car. Is that Taehyung's idea of a special first time? Jungkook scoffs. He couldn't believe Taehyung rejected him all those times just to fuck in the backseat of his own brother's car. He shouldn't complain, though. It was fucking amazing, and Jungkook is just happy he can call Taehyung his own.He turns the shower on and takes off his clothes, ready to go in. He leans on the wall of the shower with his head resting on his arm, letting the water hit the back of his neck. The hot water was doing wonders to Jungkook's sore muscles.Jungkook walks out drying himself off, fetching some clothes to sleep."So... do you have any news to tell me Jungkook?" Jimin asks."Huh? Umm... I don't think so?" Jungkook says while putting on a pair of track pants."Are you sure you don't have anything to say to me?" Jimin asks again."N-no..." Jungkook doesn't know what to do. Jimin is onto him."Then, what is this?" Jimin holds up Jungkook's phone showing a message notification from Taehyung.Taehyung:I miss you already~"I-I can explain!" Jungkook's ears burn up in embarrassment."I already know everything," Jimin says in a disappointed tone. "But why?""What do you mean why?" Something takes over Jungkook's body. He suddenly feels angry over Jimin's reaction. It's not like they were in a relationship. Why is he mad?"It's fine. Do what you want... you don't care about my feelings anyway.""I know you like me, Jimin... I'm sorry...""That's not what I'm mad about Jungkook!" Jimin raises his voice."Then what is it?!" Jungkook's eyes start to water from the frustration."I'm upset at the fact you never told me and that I'm your closest friend, but everyone else knows but me..." Jimin cries out. "Don't let me be the last to know.""I-I'm so sorry, Jimin.""I wasn't going to believe it until you told me personally, but it just hurts finding out by someone else. Then the text confirmed it all. It was my co-worker this whole time. I'm also mad at Taehyung for not telling me.""W-Who told you?" Jungkook asks while wiping a tear away."I don't know, you tell me?" Jimin says while packing his bag. "I'm going to be sleeping at Hoseok's dorm tonight."Jungkook grabs Jimin's arm making the other turn around. "Jimin, please... I'm sorry. I will tell you everything."Jimin shakes Jungkook's hand off his arm and walks out without another word. Jungkook just stares at the door emotionless. He should never have lied.☕️Jungkook couldn't sleep last night. He sent Jimin dozens of text messages, but the boy had not replied to any of them. He was certain Jimin hated him at this point. Who could have told Jimin... it could only be one person."Minjae!" Jungkook shouts causing the whole classroom to look his direction."You don't have to shout Jungkook... I'm right here." Minjae whispers from the desk next to his.Jungkook's cheeks flare from embarrassment. He couldn't believe he just shouted his name in the middle of class. He was thinking way too hard, causing him to forget that he was in class still."Please solve your non-class related problems out of class ... uhmm... what's your name again?" Yoongi says, pretending that he knew Jungkook's name previously."Jeon Jungkook sir, sorry," Jungkook apologises."Right. Jungkook. No need to shout; this classroom isn't a courtroom.""Well, that was embarrassing." Jiyeon chuckles."You can scream my name any time Jungkook. Don't listen to Jiyeon." Minjae smirks."Both of you are mean," Jungkook pouts. "I'm mad at you Minjae. Don't give me that shit right now.""What did I do?" Minjae asks, confused."You know." Jungkook turns to watch the video lecture Yoongi prepared, so he didn't have to teach during the lecture.☕️Jungkook went to the bathroom right after class finished to freshen up. He splashes water on his face in hopes to wake himself up. Minjae walks into the bathroom and stands behind Jungkook, looking at the boy in the mirror."What do you want Minjae?" Jungkook asks not wanting anything to do with Minjae anymore."What the hell Jungkook. Don't act like this. What did I do wrong?" Minjae turns Jungkook around to face him."You like creating drama, don't you?" Jungkook spitefully replies."Tell me!" Minjae demands."You were the one who told Jimin.""Told Jimin what?""You told him about Tae." Jungkook looks down to his feet. "Jimin is now upset with me because I never told him... you were the only one who knew and would tell someone.""W-What? I didn't tell anyone anything," Minjae defends himself. "What would I have to gain from doing that Jungkook?""Don't lie." Jungkook was sure that Minjae was the one who told Jimin."Maybe he just found out himself? I promise you I didn't say anything. I don't even have his phone number.""Well if it's not you who else would it be?" Jungkook was just confused at this point."Think about it again, Jungkook. I wouldn't do that.""B-But.""I have to go. You should probably find Jimin," Minjae suggests.Jungkook stands there in deep thought for a few minutes before heading over to the dance studio. Jimin must be there.He arrives at the dance studio, and Jimin was nowhere in sight. Yeonjun was lying on the floor on his phone."Hey Yeonjun, do you know where Jimin is?" Jungkook asks."Jungkook! You came. He hasn't messaged me all day." The boy pouts.That's when it clicks in his head. "Wait a minute... you didn't perhaps tell Jimin about my date?"Yeonjun's eyes widen. "J-Jungkook, I'm so sorry!!" The boy runs over and kneels in front of Jungkook. "Forgive me! I had no right to tell him.""Y-You... what. Why?" Jungkook asks, confused, not sure if he was angry or happy that he found the culprit."Jimin cornered me after you and Taehyung walked out of the cafe! He wanted to know why you two were leaving together.""You could have lied! Jimin doesn't want to talk to me anymore.""I'm sorry! I couldn't lie to him. I tried my hardest not to let it slip, but he managed to get it out of me. You guys were walking out hand in hand! I'm the worst, I'm sorry."Jungkook was upset, but he couldn't be mad at the boy. It's Jungkook's fault for not telling Jimin in the first place."How do we continue dance practice without Jimin?" Jungkook asks sadly."We have to figure out a way to make Jimin forgive us!" Yeonjun suggests."Us?" Jungkook asks, confused."It's partly my fault he got upset," Yeonjun explains."No. It's my fault for not telling him earlier."Yeonjun smiles. "Let's look for Jimin. We will split up. He should still be on campus.""Last night, he slept in Hoseok's room. Maybe I should start there," Jungkook says, smiling back at Yeonjun. "Do you know where Hoseok's room is?""I do! I can send you the room number. I will text you if I find his whereabouts. It will be much faster that way," Yeonjun suggests."Thanks for helping.""It's the most I can do. Operation win Jimin's heart back!" Yeonjun hi-fives Jungkook and the two split up to find Jimin.Jungkook heads straight to Hoseok's room. He knocks on the door and waits for someone to open. The door opens, and Hoseok was standing there confused at why Jungkook had come to his dorm."Jungkook?" Hoseok tilts his head. "What brings you here?""Do you know where Jimin is?" Jungkook asks.Hoseok laughs. "You know you could have just texted me instead of coming all the way here.""Oh... well... is he here?""No. Why would he be here?" Hoseok asks, confused."He said he slept over last night," Jungkook says scratching the back of his head."He didn't stay here last night. I haven't heard from Jimin all day. Did you two fight?""Yeah... Long story. So if he isn't here, where would he be?" Jungkook was now worried."That's alarming. Sorry, I can't help you there. The most I can do is call him, but he hasn't answered my texts from earlier today.""This is bad!" Jungkook begins to panic. "What do we do now?""I guess all we can do is wait."☕️

----- CHAPTER BREAK -----

"I looked everywhere! He still won't answer my calls," Jungkook sobs to Taehyung over the phone."I'm sure we will find him soon, baby," Taehyung says, trying to calm Jungkook down."What if something happened?!" Jungkook can't help but think of the worst-case scenario."All we can do now is wait.""You're right... There's nothing I can do.""Do you want me to come over?" Taehyung asks."No. I will be fine... I think I need to be alone right now," Jungkook tries to hold his tears back, but they keep falling. Jungkook hangs up the phone and goes to lay on his bed. How he wishes he could do things differently. He doesn't know why he thought hiding something away from Jimin would stop him from hurting. In the end, it hurt Jimin more.Jungkook's phone vibrates. It was a text from Jimin.
Jimin:

Come to the bar.
What bar? Maybe he means the uni bar. Jungkook quickly runs into the bathroom to wash his face. His eyes were swollen. He changes into appropriate clothing before heading straight to the uni bar.He walks into the bar looking for the boy. He spots Jimin sitting at the bar with two drinks. Jungkook walks over and sits down next to Jimin. "Hey.." Jungkook nervously says."I bought a drink for you," Jimin says, handing over one of the drinks to Jungkook. "Sorry for not answering your calls.""You made me so worried. I thought something happened to you... Where were you last night?" Jungkook has so many questions running through his mind."I said I was going to stay at Hoseok's place, so you didn't worry... I went out to clear my mind.""To clear your mind? Where? You went clubbing?""It doesn't matter now. I wanted to apologise for overreacting," Jimin says, taking a sip of his drink."Don't apologise Jimin. I was in the wrong. You had every right to feel the way you felt. I was a horrible friend," Jungkook says, looking down at his drink. He stirs the drink with his straw, trying to ease his nerves."You're not a horrible friend. I did some thinking, and I understand why you didn't tell me.""I promise I was planning on telling you. I just didn't know how to. I'm sorry.""It's all in the past now. Let's promise ourselves, no hiding stuff from now on." Jimin lifts his glass."I'll drink to that." The two down their drinks and go on to order more. As the night progresses, Jungkook and Jimin become drunker."No more drinks for you two," the bartender says, refusing Jimin's demands for more alcohol."Y-You can't do that! Alcohol chose me." Jimin slurs."Sorry but it's the rules.""How can you deny two pretty boys like us? You are a big meanie," Jungkook whines. "You know what Jimin?""What?" He replies."Let's leave.""Yeah! Let's leave this place." Jimin stands up, almost falling during the process."We can party somewhere else," Jungkook suggests."Yeah! We can party.""Help me stand Jimin," Jungkook asks."W-What? Did you just call me Jiyeon? For your information, my name is Jimin, and I'm not a girl.""I said Jimin!" Jungkook falls off his chair onto the ground."Jungkook! You fell for me!""It's like an earthquake down here. Rumble rumble rumble."The bartender just stares at the two, laughing. "Do you want me to call someone to make sure you two get home safely?""You're not my dad!" Jungkook replies. "Let's go Jimin," he says, getting up.The two walk back to the dorm arm in arm for support. They stumble into their room, laughing. "Thanks for the great night Jungkook."Jungkook laughs. "I think we drank too much.""No way! I'm not even that drunk Jungkook.""Hey, you said no more lying.""I'm not!" Jimin starts to unbutton his shirt. "See, I'm not too drunk. I can still take my clothes off." Jimin proceeds to remove the rest of his clothing. "Sleep in my bed Jungkook."Jungkook smiles. "Okay!"The two fall asleep almost instantly in each other's arms.☕️Jungkook wakes up to the sunlight hitting his face. He turns to his side to see a peacefully sleeping Jimin. Jungkook smiles. He looks adorable when he is sleeping... wait. "WHAT?!"Jungkook falls out of bed startling Jimin. "W-why were we sleeping in the same bed?!""W-What? I... Jungkook?" Jimin tilts his head in confusion. "We didn't do anything, right?""W-Why are you naked?!""Oh, no. This is bad.""I don't remember anything after we left the bar.""We must not have?" Jimin doesn't believe it."Then why is my ass sore?!" Jungkook says, standing up rubbing his butt."Maybe because you fell out of bed!"The two are in panic mode. Jungkook thinks it's weird that Jimin was naked, but he is fully clothed himself. Maybe nothing happened? Jungkook thinks he accidentally cheated on Taehyung."We can't tell anyone!" Jungkook pulls at his hair. "I have a boyfriend now.""We can just pretend nothing happened. I'm going to put some clothes on." Jimin says getting up in his naked glory. "I mean, we both don't remember it happening so... that must mean it never happened.""Yeah... it never happened."Jungkook's phone starts to ring. It was Taehyung. How can Jungkook talk to him after what he did? He answers the call and takes a deep breath. "Hello?""Have you heard back from Jimin? I got a bunch of drunk texts from him last night while I was sleeping.""Yes! He is here now. We went drinking last night.""How was he?""W-What we didn't have sex!""That's not what I was asking Jungkook." Taehyung laughs. "Should I be worried?""No!""I meant how is he feeling now?""Oh..." Leave it to Jungkook to embarrass himself. "We talked it out last night.""That's good! Well, I have to get ready for work. Talk to you later on? You should come to the cafe today.""Sure. See you this afternoon," Jungkook says, ending the call."Jimin, how do you deal with hangovers?" Jungkook asks, resting his head in his hands."I don't." The boy smiles back at him. Well, lucky for him."I can make you tea or something?" Jimin offers."That would be great. Thanks, Jimin." Jungkook gets up to have his morning shower. He felt disgusting after drinking all that alcohol. "By the way, what did you text Taehyung last night?""N-Nothing." Jimin runs off to make Jungkook tea, avoiding Jungkook's questioning stares.☕️

----- CHAPTER BREAK -----

"You're telling me that the guy you're dating is Professor Seokjin's brother?" Jiyeon gasps at Jungkook. "And what the hell?! You never told me you were dating someone!""Not only that! Minjae is childhood friends with Tae and this whole time he never told us he knew Professor Seokjin.""That bitch. You HAVE to introduce me!" Jiyeon demands. "What does he look like?""Hot.""Probably not as hot as his brother.""Debatable.""Have you guys kissed?" Jiyeon asks.Jungkook goes silent and tries to hide his smile."Oh my god. You did more than kissing?!" Jiyeon gasps, causing Jungkook to blush. "Oh my god, you did!" Jiyeon puts her hand over her mouth, gasping even harder."What's up losers," Minjae says as he sits down at his usual table."Jungkook has a boyfriend, and he has already done naughty stuff with him," Jiyeon says giggling to herself."Jungkook is too innocent to even think about those sort of things." Minjae winks at Jungkook."Anyways, today is my birthday if you guys didn't already know," Jiyeon says nonchalantly. "I'm holding a party at my house tonight. Jungkook, you can bring your beau.""W-What? It's your birthday today?!" Jungkook asks, surprised."Yes. That's what I said." Jiyeon rolls her eyes. "I've been talking about it every day for the last week!""Yeah, she has. You seemed to be too occupied to remember." Minjae chuckles."I'm so sorry! Happy birthday." Jungkook apologises. "I forgot to buy you a gift.""That's fine. I accept your apology." Jiyeon smiles."My gift to you is my attendance," Minjae announces."You're not invited." Jiyeon scoffs."Yes, I am.""Who invited you?" Jiyeon asks."Me." Minjae winks."You can't just invite yourself.""Well, I just did."Jungkook rolls his eyes. There is never a day without the two bickering. They are like an old married couple.☕️"I got Jisu to cover my shift tonight so that I can come to the party!" Jimin announces, excited."That's great! I'm glad you can come." Jiyeon claps."There is no party without me," Jimin jokes."Now I have competition on the dance floor." Jungkook laughs."Dance battle!" Jimin jumps out if his seat."I get to meet Jungkook's new boyfriend," Jiyeon says still clapping."I haven't even asked him yet," Jungkook says, looking down at his phone."Message him then!" Jiyeon demands.
Taehyung:

I finish early today. We should do something together.
Jungkook stares at the message. He can't believe he has a boyfriend.
Jungkook:

It's Jiyeon's birthday today, and she invited you.

Taehyung:

Let's go then! We are all sorted.
Jungkook smiles and locks his phone. "He said yes.""You're getting married?" Yeonjun says, placing down his food tray on the table, then sits next to Jungkook."No way!" Jungkook replies."Taehyung will be sick of you by then," Minjae snickers."I'm too young to get married." Jungkook blushes. He hasn't even thought of the idea of marriage before. His mother would be devastated if he married a guy, let alone find out that he likes boys."Talking about marriage, can you ask Taehyung to give me Professor Seokjin's number?" Jiyeon asks, battering her eyes."I have his number in my phone," Minjae brags. Jiyeon tries to snatch his phone from his hands. "You will have to work for it." Minjae smirks."Why are you trying to stand in the way of true love?! On my birthday too." Jiyeon huffs.Minjae chuckles, "Love isn't a real thing. It's just infatuation.""You're just not capable of feeling love. That's why you don't believe it," Jiyeon snaps.Minjae opens his mouth to say something snarky back, but words weren't coming out."Guys, don't fight. I'm sure Minjae was only joking," Jungkook butts in. Jungkook looks over to Minjae worried. He knows love is a triggering subject for Minjae.Minjae smirks. "I can show you what real love is.""Creep!" Jiyeon hides behind Jimin's shoulder."Anyways, I have to go," Minjae gets up abruptly. "See you guys at the party."They watch Minjae walk off into the distance in silence. Jungkook doesn't know why he started caring about Minjae all of a sudden."That was so weird," Yeonjun says, finishing off his cake.Jimin nods in agreement, "Yeah, he changed completely the moment Jiyeon said that."☕️Jungkook is standing outside of Jiyeon's house with Taehyung. He is too nervous about entering. All eyes will be on him the moment he walks in with Taehyung. He could hear loud music rumbling through the door."Are we going to go in?" Taehyung asks, confused that they weren't walking in yet.Suddenly the door opens. "Why are you two goofs just standing there!? Come in." Jiyeon laughs.Jungkook awkwardly laughs along."You must be Taehyung!" Jiyeon reaches out and clasps Taehyung's hands with her own. "I've heard so much about you.""Really?" Taehyung turns to look at Jungkook briefly and smiles. "It's nice to meet you, Jiyeon. Oh, and happy birthday.""Thanks! It's nice meeting you too," Jiyeon winks and lets go of his hands. "Come in! We have punch."They walk in, and Jungkook gawks at the number of people here. "Did you invite the entire university?""No. Just people I know," Jiyeon says giggling."Damn. You know a lot of people," Jungkook says, looking around for someone he knows."Taehyung! Jungkook! Finally some people I know," Jimin comes running towards the two. "I had to talk to Minjae for the last half an hour.""Minjae is here?" Taehyung asks, scanning the room for the boy."You know Minjae?" Jimin asks."Yeah, they are childhood friends," Jungkook says."Wow. Why does everyone know everyone?" Jimin says, chuckling to himself."I'm going to get some punch. Be right back," Taehyung says, kissing Jungkook on the cheek."Okay, I will wait here for you," Jungkook replies."You're looking good today," Jimin looks Jungkook up and down. "You even put some makeup on! I taught you well.""I hope you don't mind that I borrowed your pants again." Jungkook scratches the back of his head nervously."They look better on you anyway." Jimin winks."Don't lie," Jungkook laughs. "Are you going to be drinking tonight?""I don't know if I should after what happened the other day." Jimin chuckles."Shhh. Remember? We are supposed to pretend that didn't happen." Jungkook blushes.Jimin laughs. "It's fine, Jungkook. I don't think we did anything.""What did you guys do?" Yeonjun appears with a drink in his hand."We didn't do anything!" Jungkook awkwardly blurts out."Yeah... convincing," Yeonjun laughs. "Where is your boyfriend anyway?""He went to get us drinks and is taking his time," Jungkook replies."I think we should dance," Yeonjun suggests."I second that!" Jimin chirps."B-But," Jungkook said he would wait. "We can't yet...""You have no choice," Jimin says as the two drag Jungkook to where everyone was dancing. "N-no!"☕️

----- CHAPTER BREAK -----

Jungkook wonders where Taehyung had gone. He had been dancing with Jimin and Yeonjun for at least half an hour, and Taehyung still hasn't come to find him. He had been forgotten."I have shots for everyone!" Jiyeon comes walking over with a tray of shots."Yes, please!" Jimin shouts over the loud music, grabbing one of the shot glasses."You too, Jungkook." Jiyeon hands a shot to the boy."I am not good with shots." Jungkook looks at the shot glass nervously."You will be fine!" Yeonjun assures.Jungkook brings the shot glass up to his nose to smell it. The smell was so strong that it made Jungkook want to gag."On the count of three!" Jiyeon starts to count. They all down their shots at the last count. The burning sensation the alcohol was giving Jungkook made the boy cough."See? It wasn't too bad." Yeonjun laughs.Jungkook needed more alcohol in his system. He needs to loosen up. "Let's have another one.""Someone is eager." Jimin chuckles."Yeah! That's the spirit." Jiyeon pats Jungkook on the back. "I will go get more now.""Where is Taehyung?" Jimin asks."He said he went to go get drinks and vanished." Jungkook pouts."I will go look for him." Jimin leaves without another word."Looks like it's just us two." Yeonjun playfully punches Jungkook's arm."Nope! I'm back." Jiyeon comes in with more shot glasses. "Where did Jimin go?""To find Taehyung." Jungkook answers."More shots for me then." Jiyeon laughs.☕️The alcohol is starting to sink in as they danced. Jungkook moved his body to the beat of the music. Right now, he had no care in the world. Jungkook was having a good time. He sees Taehyung on the other side of the room watching him. The boy waves at Jungkook winking. Jungkook smiles back dancing. He wants to seduce the boy. Jungkook is low key mad that he went MIA for the last hour. He turns back to dance with a stranger, making sure Taehyung can see everybody roll.An unfamiliar pair of hands rest on his hips, pulling Jungkook towards the unknown person. "T-Taehyung?""Shhh, it's me." Minjae whispers in Jungkook's ear. "I brought over a drink for you.""M-Minjae? Thanks." Jungkook takes the drink and downs it in one go.Minjae gasps in shock. "Dude. You didn't need to chug it."Jungkook moans. "It tastes so good. What was in it?""Just something special for you." Minjae smirks and dances along with Jungkook. "I'm just surprised you drank it all in one go. You might regret that later."Jungkook starts to grind back onto Minjae, enjoying the music as the alcohol takes over his body. Minjae doesn't protest and grinds up against Jungkook, hands still placed on his hips."I like this new Jungkook," Minjae whispers closely into Jungkook ear. "Tae is very lucky to have you."Jungkook accidentally moans."Jungkook, don't tempt me," Minjae says in a raspy voice."I-I feel so hot..." Jungkook whimpers."That's enough." Taehyung breaks the two apart and drags Jungkook off to the side. Jungkook feels like he is in deep trouble."What the hell was that?" Taehyung growls."I-I can explain...""Explain what? Why you were rubbing your ass all over Minjae.""I-I can't help it. My body is so hot. I can't control my urges."Taehyung lifts Jungkook's chin to get a better view of his face. "You're flushing. What have you been drinking?" He asks, worried."Shots... and other stuff?" Jungkook doesn't remember. He had just been accepting anything he was given."Someone must have spiked your drink. You shouldn't accept drinks without knowing what's inside of it," Taehyung scolds the boy."What are you going to do with me?" Jungkook asks seductively."I'm going to take you home. Enough partying for you.""Wait! No!" Jungkook pulls on Taehyung's arm. Taehyung pushes Jungkook against the wall, their faces inches apart. "Kiss me," Jungkook pleads. Taehyung leans in, capturing Jungkook's lips."Why did you have to go and do that?" Taehyung says, breaking the kiss."W-Why, did you leave me alone," Jungkook replies.Taehyung leans in for another kiss, kissing Jungkook against the wall."I need help..." Jungkook whimpers."Not here.""P-Please, I can't stand it." The pleasure Jungkook was feeling right now was unbearable. He needs to release."You need to sober up," Taehyung says caressing Jungkook's cheek."You don't want me?""If only you knew." Taehyung chuckles."Then take me... right here, right now," Jungkook whispers seductively.Taehyung groans, frustrated. "You're testing me Jungkook." He pulls Jungkook down the hallway into an empty room."Is this Jiyeon's room?" Jungkook asks."Seems like it," Taehyung says, locking the door behind him. "She won't mind, right?" He smirks."I-I don't think we should do it here...""You can't back down now." Taehyung pushes Jungkook down onto the bed, taking his shirt off. "Take your clothes off," he commands.Jungkook obeys. Jiyeon will forgive him later, he hopes. Jungkook watches Taehyung look around the room, opening random drawers. "What are you doing?" Jungkook asks, confused over why he is going through Jiyeon's drawers."Bingo." Taehyung pulls out a bottle of lube from the drawer."H-How did you know?" Jungkook asks, surprised."I didn't," He says, reading the label of the bottle. "Though I would check just in case." Taehyung pops open the cap. "Spread your legs for me."Jungkook spreads his legs out, displaying everything to Taehyung. Jungkook's member was begging for attention. Taehyung crawls onto the bed, caressing Jungkook's thighs, trailing his hand upwards to his balls. Jungkook moans a little too loud."Shh baby. We don't want to be caught," Taehyung hushes Jungkook, moving his fingers up his member. He rubs Jungkook's tip, smearing the precum over it."Don't tease," Jungkook whimpers."But you have been a naughty boy." Taehyung smirks."I'm sorry... I won't do it again... please."Taehyung moves his hand, downwards towards Jungkook's hole. He rubs circles around the hole, making the boy moan. He squeezes some lube onto his hand and starts to prep Jungkook's hole."P-Please, I'm ready for it," Jungkook moans.Taehyung gets up and unbuckles his belt, taking off his pants along with his underwear causing his member to fling upwards hitting his abdomen. Jungkook mentally drools at the sight.Taehyung grabs the lube bottle again, making his way back onto the bed, positioning himself between Jungkook's legs. He squeezes a decent amount of lube onto his hand, before lathering his member."Are you ready?" Taehyung asks, positioning his member at the entrance of Jungkook's hole.Jungkook nods, reaching out to grab Taehyung's hand. Taehyung slowly enters and waits for Jungkook to adjust before moving at a faster pace.Jungkook can't hold his moans back, and he just hopes that the loud music of the party muffles them. Jungkook begs Taehyung to go faster, to his pleasure, the boy agrees, picking up the pace. He hits the spot that makes Jungkook see stars. At this moment he didn't care if the whole house could hear him. Taehyung brings his hand up to muffle Jungkook's moans.The intense pleasure is driving Jungkook to the edge. Taehyung started fucking him harder and faster, hitting his prostate over and over again. Taehyung leans in to kiss Jungkook. He moans into this kiss, wrapping his arms around Taehyung, wanting him to go in deeper."I-I'm close baby," Taehyung warns.Without warning, Jungkook cums without touching himself. His cum spurts out between the two. The orgasm was so intense that his eyes roll backwards.Taehyung pulls out and cums over Jungkook's abdomen, covering the boy in white. Taehyung plops down next to Jungkook as they try and catch their breath. "We should probably clean ourselves up." Taehyung chuckles.☕️

----- CHAPTER BREAK -----

Jungkook wakes up to a sleeping Taehyung by his side. He stares at the boy, admiring his handsome features. The last thing he remembered was being dragged into Jiyeon's room at the party. He wants to know why they were back at his dorm and why he was wearing a new pair of underwear. Did Taehyung change his clothes? Why does he keep waking up next to half-naked boys, losing his memory of the night before?Taehyung stirs in his sleep and pulls the younger towards him into a hug. Jungkook, startled, gasps at the sudden movement. Taehyung's face was inches away from his own. Jungkook's heart flutters. He wishes he could wake up next to the boy every morning. Jungkook moves around trying to get comfortable until he freezes. He could feel Taehyung's boner poking him. Jungkook's cheeks flare up, not knowing what to do in this situation. That is until an idea popped into his head. The boy grins cheekily, palming Taehyung's member through his underwear. Taehyung's eyes flash open and stare into the younger's eyes for a few seconds before getting on top of the boy, pushing his arms against the bed."You can't get enough of me?" Taehyung smirks.Jungkook gulps. "A pleasant way to wake up?" The boy awkwardly chuckles.Taehyung leans in towards Jungkook's face slowly. Jungkook closes his eyes, anticipating the kiss, but it never came. "You've been naughty." Taehyung whispers, groping Jungkook's member. "Always trying to seduce me." Jungkook's body arches at the touch, begging for more attention. Why does his body react this way?"K-kiss me," Jungkook begs with a slight pout and his wish was granted. Their lips meet in a slow but tender kiss. Taehyung's hand slips into Jungkook's underwear, slowly stroking Jungkook's member making the boy whimper into the kiss.Taehyung pulls Jungkook's underwear further down for better access. The kiss became more heated as Taehyung fastens the pace of his strokes. Jungkook reaches out to feel Taehyung's chest, appreciating the firmness of it.Taehyung breaks the kiss to place kisses down the other's neck, all the way down to his collarbone, marking it as his own. Taehyung smiles, proud of the hickey he just made. He starts a trail of kisses down to one of Jungkook's nipples, teasing the nipple with his tongue."It f-feels so good," Jungkook moans. Taehyung moves back up to capture Jungkook's lips again. The kiss is fuelled with lust. Jungkook struggles to keep up, moaning into the kiss. Taehyung makes sure to maximise the pleasure, rubbing his hand over the tip, smearing the boy's precum over his member.Taehyung can feel the boy's body tense up, signalling that he was close. He breaks the kiss and let's the younger moan freely. "I-I'm close..." Jungkook moans out."Cum for me," Taehyung whispers into Jungkook's ear, making Jungkook arch his back."I-I'm going to cum." Jungkook moans as he blows his load between them, white streaks painting the boy's abdomen. Taehyung continues to stroke Jungkook's member, helping the boy ride out his orgasm."You came a lot, baby. I'm surprised you still had it in you after last night." Taehyung smirks.Jungkook pants, trying to catch his breath after coming down from his high. "Y-You're still hard," Jungkook timidly says."Don't think that we are finished," Taehyung chuckles. "We are just getting started.""W-What?" Jungkook asks, surprised."Let's get you clean," Taehyung gets up, offering his hand to the boy. "So I can get you dirty again."They head to the shower, removing their leftover clothing before getting in. Taehyung turns the valve, letting the water heat up. "Is the water hot enough?" He asks.Jungkook nods, signalling Taehyung to start washing the cum off the boy's body. He grabs the soap and lathers Jungkook's body, massaging him in small circular motions. Jungkook's body relaxes as Taehyung's hands roam his body."I want to return the favour," Jungkook moans. "Let me please you."Taehyung smirks, letting the boy kneel. Taehyung's member was up freely in front of Jungkook's face. Jungkook licks his lips before kissing the tip. He looks up at Taehyung asking for permission. Taehyung answers by grasping onto Jungkook's hair. Jungkook takes Taehyung all in one go, making Taehyung roll his head back in pleasure. Taehyung thrusts in and out of Jungkook's mouth, nearly making him gag. Jungkook moans, loving every second of this. He just wants to please Taehyung."Fuck, Jungkook." Taehyung moans as Jungkook takes control of the pace. Jungkook looks up at Taehyung while he was sucking. Their eyes lock with each other, triggering something inside Taehyung. The boy pulls out, making Jungkook whine confused."Turn around," Taehyung demands, making the boy stand again. Taehyung back hugs the boy, reaching out to stroke Jungkook's member, while his own rubs up between Jungkook's butt cheeks. Jungkook moans, leaning backwards, trying to create more friction between the two. Taehyung bends the boy over, so Jungkook was leaning hands first on the shower glass wall. He inserts one finger slowly, teasing Jungkook's entrance before adding a second. He thrusts the two fingers in and out of Jungkook's hole, making him whimper softly. He then adds a third finger, scissoring the boy, preparing him for what is to come."I'm ready," Jungkook says in a breathy voice."Tell me to stop if you can't handle it," Taehyung says while rubbing circles on Jungkook's side, trying to soothe the boy. Taehyung positions his member at the entrance of Jungkook's hole, rubbing the tip around it teasingly. "Okay, I'm going in."He pushes in slowly, making sure not to hurt Jungkook. Jungkook's eyes widen, forgetting how big Taehyung is. "M-Move," Jungkook says, giving Taehyung the okay signal.Taehyung starts to pull out slowly before going in again. He continues to slowly thrust in and out of Jungkook, teasing the boy. Taehyung was hitting Jungkook's prostate ever so lightly, turning Jungkook into a moaning mess. "P-Please... go faster." Jungkook pleads, wanting Taehyung to fuck him mindlessly.Taehyung slowly pulls out again, making Jungkook whine, before slamming back in, hitting Jungkook's prostate dead on. Jungkook nearly loses balance as the pleasure was so intense. Taehyung finally picks up the speed, fucking Jungkook against the glass wall of the shower. Jungkook couldn't contain his moans. The whole dormitory could probably hear them having sex right now, but Jungkook couldn't care less. The steam of the shower was making the glass fog up."Your moans are like music to my ears baby," Taehyung grunts as he fucks Jungkook. The sound of Taehyung's balls slapping against Jungkook echoed around the room. "You're so tight, fuck."Taehyung reaches out to pump Jungkook's cock. Jungkook felt like he was seeing stars. The only vocabulary he knew in this very moment was Taehyung's name. He moaned his name over and over again, boosting Taehyung's ego."I-I'm close again." Jungkook whimpers softly. Taehyung fastens his pace, wanting Jungkook to reach his climax. Jungkook cums, shooting onto the glass. His hole clenches over Taehyung's member as he climaxed, almost sending Taehyung over the edge."I'm going to cum too baby," Taehyung groans. Jungkook was still riding his high while Taehyung thrusts faster and deeper. He reaches his climax, cumming inside of Jungkook. Jungkook's name rolls off the tip of his tongue as he rides out his orgasm. He pulls out, watching his cum flow out of Jungkook's entrance, down his inner thighs. He turns Jungkook around and kisses the boy passionately. Jungkook melts into the kiss; he can feel his legs giving in.The two finish their shower, cleaning up the mess they made. Jungkook thought the feeling of coming out of the shower dirtier than when he first entered was strange. Jungkook walks out of the bathroom to a smirking Jimin."You two seemed to have had fun," Jimin says, chuckling. Taehyung walks out and freezes. "Hey, Tae." Jimin waves at the boy while Taehyung nervously chuckles."I-I..." Jungkook wants to go in hiding. His face probably looks as red as a tomato."It's fine," Jimin laughs. "I wasn't here for the entirety of it.""Where did you stay last night?" Taehyung asks."I passed out in Jiyeon's bathtub," Jimin replies. "Last night was pretty wild. Jungkook, you were like the life of the party.""I can barely remember what happened, unfortunately. I hope I didn't do anything too embarrassing!" Jungkook says, putting his hand over his collarbone, trying to hide the hickey Taehyung gave him."You passed out, and I had to carry you back here," Taehyung chuckles. "Jiyeon was about to get everyone to play twister, so you lucked out.""Twister was so fun!" Jimin says. "We had to take a shot if you fell.""I'm surprised no one got alcohol poisoning." Taehyung laughs."Peter, Paul and Mary were so good at it.""I wish I could have stayed longer then." Jungkook pouts."You might not have had such a great morning if you stayed," Jimin chuckles making Jungkook blush harder. "You don't seem to be hungover.""I completely forgot that you could have caught us in the act...""Don't worry. Your secret is safe with me. Not sure about all the other people who heard through the walls though." Jimin giggles.Jimin seems happy, and Jungkook is glad. He was worried about him lately ever since Jimin found out about his relationship with Taehyung. He is taking it well now. Things are finally working out. Jungkook feels content with his life as it is right now. He doesn't know what he would do when university is over, and everyone goes their different paths. He tries not to think about that.☕️

----- CHAPTER BREAK -----

"Why did you have to leave so early the other night," Jiyeon pouts. "We just started to play drinking games.""Sorry. I was dragged out by Taehyung apparently," Jungkook replies."Ooooh did you guys do anything?" Jiyeon smirks.Jungkook starts to blush, refusing to answer the question."I knew it!" Jiyeon shouts. "I'm always right.""Why is everyone so interested in my sex life with Taehyung?!" Jungkook whines."Because you two are like goals. Two super attractive humans making love sounds very enticing to me." Jiyeon giggles."Jiyeon!" Jungkook blushes harder."What? It's true.""Whatever. Anyways, where is Minjae?" Jungkook asks curiously."You're asking me?" Jiyeon chuckles. "I don't keep tabs on where he is.""I just haven't heard from him since that night," Jungkook says worried about the boy."I wouldn't worry about it, he was trying to hit up Yeonjun at the party, but some other guy came between them. It's the guy in our class that gave Minjae his number.""Wow, you remember that?" Jungkook asks, surprised."Of course. I remember everything," Jiyeon claims. "That reminds me, I heard that Professor Seokjin will be back tomorrow from his leave." Jiyeon smiles to herself."That will be good. I miss him as our teacher." Jungkook smiles."I'm thinking about getting a makeover. Maybe dye my hair?""What for?" Jungkook asks, confused."I need to look fresh for his return!" Jiyeon claps."I mean you look fine the way you are.""Fine isn't good enough! I need to up my game," Jiyeon flicks her hair and looks to the front. "I wonder if Professor Yoongi pays attention to what we do in class.""I heard my name?" Yoongi says jolting out of his daydream. "You all better be doing what the slide tells you to do," he says, pretending to care."I think it would be interesting being in his physical education class." Jungkook laughs."I just want Professor Seokjin." Jiyeon pouts.☕️They all sat around the table in the cafeteria, talking about the party. "Dude! I feel like the punch had too much alcohol in it. I nearly died the next morning from the hangover." Yeonjun complains."No. I think you just drank too much. A bit overdramatic." Jiyeon laughs."Says you, the one who cried because you fell playing twister," Jimin chimes."In my defence, I was very drunk." Jiyeon pouts."I woke up to a billion hickeys, but I don't remember how any of it happened." Yeonjun pulls down the collar of his shirt to show everyone. Everyone at the table gawks at the sudden revelation."Yeonjun! You shouldn't be doing dirty things in my house!" Jiyeon slaps his shoulder."Hey! At least I didn't have sex in your bedroom." Yeonjun glances at Jungkook, making the boy blush."W-What?!" Jiyeon looks at Jungkook for an explanation."I was joking." Yeonjun giggles. Jungkook sighs in relief. How embarrassing. Jiyeon can't know what happened in that room."You better be." Jiyeon glares at the two boys."It was strange that Jungkook disappeared halfway through the night, though." Jimin chuckles."He had other things to attend to." Jiyeon giggles."Looks like everyone had a bit of fun that night." Yeonjun laughs."I want to know why I wasn't invited to any of this," Hoseok complains."You were invited! I just forgot to tell you," Jiyeon confesses."Don't worry, next time I will come and steal the show." Hoseok smiles.☕️"Show me the routine from the top," Hoseok asks. The boys had finally finished their choreography for the performance later this month. The three boys get into formation just as the music starts. It starts as a hip hop beat; the boys dance to the music like professionals. The music changes into a more sensual rhythm, with many body rolls."Sexy, sexy!" Hoseok shouts as they roll their shirts up, teasing their nicely defined abs. They finish off the routine to a happy looking Hoseok. "Wow, Hyuna is going to be happy with this choreography." He says clapping."We still need to do some polishing, but yeah all the choreography is done now," Jimin says wiping off some sweat from his forehead.Yeonjun starts clapping in excitement. "We will, for sure, be scouted!"Jungkook sighs. Even if someone gave him an offer, he isn't a dance major. He can't give up his degree to pursue dance. His mother would be so disappointed in him."What's wrong, Jungkook?" Jimin asks, concerned."Nothing," Jungkook smiles. "I'm just a little tired."Hyuna barges into the dance studio with a bag of food and drinks. "Surprise! I have chicken for everyone!"The boys' eyes light up. "Wow! What about the other members?""Shh, Don't tell them," Hyuna says, putting a finger up to her lips. "Hoseok messaged me about your routine, and I got so excited that I wanted to come over and celebrate! Let me watch the recordings."They all sit in a circle eating the chicken, having a good time together. Jungkook wants to cherish memories like this.☕️"So, are you a bottom in your relationship?" Yeonjun asks Jungkook as they walk to the cafe."W-What?" Jungkook was taken aback by Yeonjun's straightforwardness."You know... the receiver... the one taking it up the-""I know!" Jungkook blushes. "Why are you asking?""Because we are close now, right? I just wanted to rant about a problem I have at the moment." Yeonjun sighs."Oh, okay. What's your problem?" Jungkook asks."My boyfriend is a bottom and refuses to top. I wouldn't class myself as a top either so having two bottoms in a relationship seems to be unfulfilling. I mean... I don't mind topping since I'm quite versatile, but sometimes you just want to you know...""Maybe you should suggest switching things up every now and then," Jungkook suggests."I have... he is stubborn." Yeonjun pouts.Jungkook never thought about him and Tae changing positions. He wonders how Tae feels about this. Maybe he should try topping next time to see his reaction. "I'm sure if it's love, you guys will sort out the problem.""You're right. I do love him. Do you love Taehyung?"Does he love Taehyung? Jungkook thinks hard about that question. Is what he is feeling, love? Does Taehyung love him? He just realised neither of them has said 'I love you' to each other yet. "I-I think I do.""Aww, you're so cute, Jungkook," Yeonjun coons. "We should go on a double date some time!" He suggests."No, foursomes!" Jungkook replies."That's not what I asked Jungkook." The boy laughs at Jungkook's reaction."Oh... If that's the case, sure! I would love to." Jungkook smiles.Yeonjun's phone starts to ring, so he picks it up. "Hello?....... I will be there right away." He puts his phone in his pocket and looks back at Jungkook. "Sorry I have to leave. We can grab a coffee another time." Yeonjun says apologetically."That's okay! Talk to you later Yeonjun." Jungkook smiles."Bye!" Yeonjun waves running back to the university.Jungkook walks into the cafe, smiling at his sexy barista waiting for him. "Tae!" Jungkook calls out.Taehyung looks up and smiles at the boy, walking towards the register to put Jungkook's order in. "You should try something different rather than a long black today." He suggests."As long as you're making it, it will be fine." Jungkook attempts to flirt."You're such a cutie," Taehyung says, reaching over the counter to squish the boy's cheek. "Go sit down and I will bring it to you."Jungkook heads over to his regular table and looks through his messages.
Jimin:

Jiyeon thinks you're a bottom and I agree.
What the hell? Why is everyone talking about my sex life? Jungkook facepalms.
Jiyeon:

Don't you think Professor Seokjin would be so daddy? I heard he is a good cook. Yes, chef!
He really can't with his friends sometimes Jungkook thinks to himself chuckling."What are you chuckling about?" Taehyung asks, placing down Jungkook's coffee on the table."Nothing really!" Jungkook hides his phone in his pocket. He glances at Taehyung's hand as he lets go of the coffee cup. His knuckles were red and chapped. "What happened to your hand!?" Jungkook asks, grabbing the barista's hand.Taehyung retracts his hand from Jungkook's grip. "I fell on the concrete," he says nonchalantly, his face changing completely."What? How did you do that?! You should be more careful next time," Jungkook says, worried about the boy."It's fine. Seeing you heals it." He says with the greasiest smile, looking like a lovesick puppy. Jungkook blushes. Taehyung always finds a way to make his heart twirl.He takes a sip of his coffee, and his eyes sparkle at the taste. "What is this?""A caramel latte. I have been observing you, and I don't think you enjoy drinking long blacks." Taehyung chuckles.Damn. Jungkook was caught. Jungkook's cheeks flare up; this whole relationship's foundation started on 'liking' this coffee and Taehyung had just found out that he was lying the entire time."I think it's cute that you came in every day just to see me and not for the coffee," Taehyung coons in a sweet voice. "That's some dedication. But hey, we found something you can enjoy drinking," he says, smiling sweetly.Jungkook is so embarrassed. He wants to just drown in his coffee.☕️

----- CHAPTER BREAK -----

"M-Minjae... what happened to you?!" Jungkook asks, shocked. The boy had a black eye; it seems like he had gotten into a fight."I fell," Minjae says with a goofy smiling. Classes haven't started yet. They were standing outside of the university."I'm not buying that at all. Tell me what happened," Jungkook demands. That's when it clicked in Jungkook's head. Taehyung's knuckles... he had the same excuse as Minjae. "Did Taehyung do this to you?" Jungkook asks, getting angry at the thought. Jungkook hated violence."N-No...""Liar! Why did he do this to you?!" Jungkook raises his voice."It was my fault Jungkook... I'm sorry." Minjae looks down, trying to hide his face."What happened?" Jungkook asks, softening his voice."I did something bad... and I shouldn't have done it," Minjae says barely in a barely audible voice."Bad?""It was something I did to you," Minjae confesses. "I dissolved ecstasy in your drink... I'm so sorry, Jungkook."Jungkook's eyes widen. That would explain why his body was so sensitive to touch. "But... why?" Jungkook is beyond confused."I'm so sorry... I didn't think you would drink the whole drink in one go," Minjae apologises again."W-What do you mean? I was going to drink it either way. Why did you do it?" Jungkook asks again, in a sad voice."I fucked up Jungkook... I just thought it would be fun to see you let loose. You had been so uptight lately. I know that's no excuse for spiking your drink, what I did was fucked, and I wouldn't be surprised if you didn't want to talk to me ever again after this.""I can't believe you would do something like this. I don't know what to say." Jungkook wipes a tear that had fallen. "I'm honestly so disappointed in you. I trusted you.""Is there any way I can make it up to you." Minjae goes to embrace Jungkook. "I'm so sorry... please forgive me."Jungkook leans into the embrace for a few seconds before pushing him away. "Get off me!" He yells. "I need time to think." Jungkook walks away from the uni, back to his dorm. He doesn't feel like going to class today."Jungkook! Come back!" Minjae runs after Jungkook."Go away!" Jungkook cries out."J-Jungkook..." Minjae stops and falls onto his knees. "I'm sorry..." he says one more time, but it doesn't reach Jungkook's ears.☕️Jungkook walks into his shared room, placing his stuff down and falling onto his bed."You're back already? I thought you had a class first period," Jimin says, walking out from the shower, drying his hair with a towel."I'm skipping," Jungkook says, lifeless."Did something happen?" Jimin asks, worried."No.""Oh c'mon Jungkook, you can tell me," Jimin jumps onto Jungkook's bed, lying on top of Jungkook. "Tell me what's up?""You're heavy," Jungkook complains.Jimin tickles Jungkook making him push Jimin off, tickling back. "There you go! You're smiling now," Jimin says in between laughs.The two lay down next to each other laughing. Jimin's presence cheers Jungkook up. "Thanks for cheering me up Jimin.""Anytime. You know if you want to talk about it, you can," Jimin says sweetly."It's about Minjae.""What did he do this time." Jimin rolls his eyes."He drugged my drink.""What?! Let me kill that fucker." Jimin tries to stand up, but Jungkook pulls the boy back down."Nooo! Taehyung already gave him a black eye," Jungkook pouts. "He was begging for forgiveness.""Don't forgive him," Jimin says sternly. "I knew he was trouble the moment he gave you those chocolates.""I don't think I'm mad at him... maybe it was just an 'in the moment' thing.""Are you kidding? He drugged your drink?!""I know. But strangely... I think I have already forgiven him. I'm just disappointed. I know he didn't have bad intentions..." Maybe Jungkook has lost his mind. He has a soft spot for Minjae, and he doesn't know why."Well... I, personally, don't think you should forgive him, but since I respect your opinion, I think you should make him work bloody damn hard for it.""Yeah. Thanks for being here for me Jimin. Can you put some clothes on though? I mean I'm all for just walking around in your underwear but having you cling on to me half naked is making me feel things I shouldn't." Jungkook laughs.Jimin laughs along with Jungkook, getting up to put some clothes on. "Don't get a hard-on Jungkookie~ you have a boyfriend now," Jimin teases."Shut up Jimin." Jungkook laughs. Jungkook feels like he will always have a friend in Jimin. He gets his phone out to text Taehyung.
Jungkook:

You shouldn't have lied to me. Also, violence isn't the way to solve things!! I'm mad at you right now!! 😡
Jungkook jumps as he got a reply instantly. Shouldn't he be at work? Not looking at his phone. Jungkook clicks his tongue.
Taehyung:

But he made me so angry!! He can't do that to you! He broke my trust as a friend the moment he laid hands on you. You're my everything Jungkook.
Jungkook's heart swells.
Jungkook:

Can I stay over tonight?

Taehyung:

Of course babe. You don't even have to ask.
Jungkook smiles to himself, putting his phone on the bedside table."Someone is in love~" Jimin comes back into the room fully clothed. "We should hang out at the mall or something." He suggests."Don't you have class?""I'm skipping for you." Jimin smiles."Nooo! You don't have to do that." Jungkook protests."I want to," Jimin says sternly."Okay, okay. Thanks, Jimin, you're the best.""I know.""I don't know what I would do without you Jimin." Jungkook hugs the boy.☕️The two walked through the mall, window shopping since they can't afford anything anyway. Being a student is tough. There was this cute jacket that Jungkook wanted, but when he checked the price, it was more than his months' rent. How do people even afford to spend that much on a jacket?"Look, Jungkook! A pet store!" Jimin points.They walk into the store, admiring all the animals. Jungkook spots a puppy and walks up to it. "Awww he's so cute!" The puppy reminded him of Taehyung. He picks the puppy up, and it licks his face."I think he likes you," Jimin coos."I wish I could take him home with me." Jungkook pouts. The dog licks Jungkook's cheek."Cute!" Jimin squeals.Jungkook puts the dog down and watches it run off to play with the other puppies. "We should go before I get too attached."They walk past a restaurant with a fish tank in the front. "Look Jungkook, fish!" Jimin goes up to the tank. "Aren't they cute?""Cute until they end up on your plate." Jungkook chuckles."Hey!" Jimin play punches Jungkook's arm. "Don't say stuff like that.""What? The truth?" Jungkook teases, running away from the elder to avoid being hit."Come back here, Jungkook!" Jimin yells, running after him.Jimin catches up to Jungkook, putting him in a headlock. "You think you're smart, huh?" He says messing Jungkook's hair up."Hey, my hair!" Jungkook complains in a fit of laughter. Jimin frees Jungkook out of his grasp and the two laugh. "Thanks for taking my mind off things Jimin.""Anytime.""Can I ask something?" Jungkook faces Jimin."Sure? Go ahead.""Did you have feelings for me?" Jungkook asks.Jimin scratches the back of his head nervously. "Well... I used to have feelings for you.""You don't anymore?""My feelings turned into something platonic," Jimin explains. "I love you like family. The little brother I never had."Jungkook shyly smiles. That was the sweetest thing Jimin has ever said to him. "I love you too, man. Like you have no idea. When I made you upset..." Tears started to fall from his eyes.Jimin brings Jungkook into an embrace, combing his fingers through Jungkook's hair. "Shh, it's okay. That's the past. I know you never meant to hurt me. I overreacted.""I would never, ever, want to hurt you Jimin. You deserve the world." Jungkook sobs into Jimin's shoulder.Jimin chuckles softly. "You're such a cry baby~.""I know," Jungkook says while Jimin wipes his tears. "Best friends forever?" Jungkook removes himself from Jimin's embrace and lifts his pinky.Jimin laughs. "Best friends forever," Jimin interwinds his pinky with Jungkook's sealing the deal. "That was so cheesy~."Jungkook laughs. "You love me, though.""I do." Jimin smiles before hugging the boy one more time.☕️

----- CHAPTER BREAK -----

Yeonjun had Jungkook thinking. What he said about his boyfriend and how he refuses to top. He wonders if Taehyung is a switch like Yeonjun. He never considered asking Taehyung about his preference. Jungkook was curious. To him, position doesn't matter, as long as it's with Taehyung. He could totally be versatile.He walks up to Taehyung's apartment door and knocks. Jungkook has an idea."Hey baby," Taehyung says, opening the door.Jungkook walks in and closes the door behind him. He grabs Taehyung's arm and pulls the boy towards him, before pushing him against the door, his hand slamming against the area next to Taehyung's head."J-Jungkook?" Taehyung looks at the boy, confused.Jungkook leans in and captures Taehyung's lips. Taehyung moans into the kiss, giving Jungkook access to slip his tongue in. Their tongues battled for dominance. Jungkook breaks the kiss, planting kisses down the side of Taehyung's neck."What has gotten into you Jungkook?" Taehyung questions. He wasn't complaining, just surprised."I want to make you feel good," Jungkook says in a raspy tone. Jungkook was shocked hearing himself say such things.Taehyung flips their positions, causing a loud thump noise against the door. Jungkook wanted to protest, but he low key loves it when Taehyung takes over. "Do we take this to the bedroom?" Taehyung whispers into Jungkook's ear.Jungkook just nods in response. The two stumble on each other, kissing on the way to the bed. Jungkook pushes Taehyung down onto the bed and straddles the boy. Jungkook can't lose the dominance fight yet.He signals Taehyung to take his shirt off, just as he takes his own off. He then leans down and sucks on Taehyung's collarbone, proudly leaving a mark. He proceeds to kiss downwards past his abdomen, reaching out to unbuckle Taehyung's pants. Taehyung helps Jungkook get rid of them. His member looked like it was about to burst out of his underwear. Jungkook gently kisses the outline of Taehyung's member, before pulling the underwear down.Taehyung's member flings out, standing proudly. Jungkook mentally drools at the sight. He licks the tip teasingly making the elder whine."Don't tease Jungkook," Taehyung pleads.Jungkook smirks and licks from the base of the shaft to the tip, before slowly engulfing his member. He rises back up slowly, making a loud popping sound as Taehyung's member exits Jungkook's mouth, causing it to fling back up towards his abdomen."I said don't tease," Taehyung says more sternly.Jungkook is enjoying every second of this newfound power. He wonders how far he can push it. He starts to bob up and down while moaning slowly. The moans caused vibrations making Taehyung squirm. Taehyung is trying to refrain himself from thrusting upwards into Jungkook's mouth. The slow pace was driving Taehyung insane.Jungkook starts to massage Taehyung's balls as he works on Taehyung's dick. Jungkook was still keeping a consistently slow pace. He looks up at Taehyung while he bobs up and down, they lock eyes, staring intensely at each other."Please... Jungkook, go faster." Taehyung begs.Jungkook decided to end his torture and picks up the pace. Taehyung grips onto Jungkook's head and starts thrust upwards into his mouth, making Jungkook gag."S-Sorry," Taehyung apologises.Jungkook wasn't phased. He continues, using his hand to stroke the boy's member while sucking."I-I'm close Jungkook." Taehyung moans out.Jungkook stops to unbuckle his pants, pulling them off with his underwear. Taehyung whines, Jungkook didn't let him cum. Jungkook crawls back onto Taehyung, kissing the boy. The kiss was full of lust. Jungkook breaks the kiss and reaches out to the bedside table. Taehyung had a bottle of lube conveniently out before they even entered the room, making Jungkook mentally laugh.Jungkook kisses Taehyung again, travelling his hand down south to stroke Taehyung's dick. They moan into the kiss. Jungkook brings a finger down to rub the rim of Taehyung's hole, making the boy freeze.Taehyung flips their positions, pinning Jungkook against the bed. "That's enough fun for you." He says in a deep voice, sending chills down Jungkook's spine."B-But-"Taehyung hushes Jungkook with his finger, taking the lube bottle that had fallen from Jungkook's hand. "You love being a little tease, huh?" Taehyung asks suggestively."I-I..." Jungkook whimpers.Taehyung flicks open the bottle cap and squeezes some lube onto his fingers. He then proceeds to insert a finger into Jungkook's hole, making the boy squirm. He then adds a second finger, thrusting them in and out making Jungkook whimper."I-I need it now. Just fuck me." Jungkook begs.So much for wanting to try topping, Jungkook tells himself. Taehyung pulls his fingers out, making Jungkook moan.Taehyung then proceeds to squeeze a decent amount of lube onto his hand, lathering his member. "Okay, then. I'm going in."Taehyung pushes his member in slowly, making sure not to hurt the other. Jungkook's eyes widen as his hole gets filled. It always feels like it's the first time with Taehyung. Jungkook gives Taehyung the signal to start moving. Taehyung pulls out and pushes back in. He begins slowly at first, but it wasn't long until the pace picked up. The sound of their moans filled the room, balls slapping up against Jungkook's ass with each thrust."F-Faster," Jungkook begs.Taehyung grants Jungkook's wish and starts to pound hard into Jungkook, hitting Jungkook's prostate dead-on, over and over again. Jungkook turned into a moaning mess."Moan my name," Taehyung demands."T-Taehyung..." Jungkook moans out softly."Louder," Taehyung raises his voice, light slapping Jungkook's thigh."Taehyung!" Jungkook yelps. Jungkook sees stars. He reaches out to touch his forgotten member. He strokes himself, moaning Taehyung's name over and over.Taehyung smirks down at the sight. "You're so beautiful, baby."Jungkook gasps, he can feel it coming. Jungkook wants to cum. "T-Tae... I'm close.""Let's cum together," Taehyung says, thrusting deeper and faster into Jungkook.Jungkook reaches his climax, spurting his seed all over his stomach. Jungkook's hole clenched as he came, sending Taehyung off the edge, cumming inside of Jungkook. He rides his orgasm before collapsing on top of Jungkook. He kisses Jungkook passionately.Jungkook breaks the kiss pouting. "Why did you freeze when I touched you down there?" Jungkook asks."No reason baby," Taehyung says in a soothing voice, giving Jungkook a peck on the lips."Are you sure?" Jungkook asks. Jungkook thinks there is a reason behind it."Yes, Jungkook. By the way, why were you so eager tonight? You didn't even wait till you were in the apartment this time." Taehyung chuckles."I-I wanted to try something different," Jungkook blushes. "Yeonjun was telling me about his sex life, and it got me thinking about bedroom positions.""So you wanted to try topping?" Taehyung asks."Yeah..." Jungkook blushes."Aww you're so cute Jungkook," Taehyung kisses Jungkook's lips again. "Let's order take out and watch a movie. It's too late to cook."Jungkook smiles. "I would love that."☕️

----- CHAPTER BREAK -----

Jungkook looks at his phone. He has four missed calls, all from Minjae. Jungkook doesn't know how to talk to the boy after what he found out. He can't keep avoiding the boy; he has class with him today. Jungkook starts to ruffle his hair in frustration."I'm not going to class today," Jungkook says, getting back into his bed."Why?" Jimin questions, "Is this about Minjae?""No," Jungkook whines."You can't keep running away from your problems Jungkook, look at how it turned out last time you did that." Jimin chuckles."What problems?" Jungkook muffles into his pillow."You know," Jimin laughs. "You might as well go since we have dance practice today.""I can just go to dance," Jungkook says, sitting up."That's how you fall behind, skipping classes.""I can just listen to the lectures online," Jungkook replies, not meaning what he said. No one can be bothered doing that."Well, you do you," Jimin says, zipping up his bag. "I'm going now, see you at dance." Jimin smiles at Jungkook before heading out.Jungkook groans as he gets up to take a shower. Jimin is right. He can't keep being like this; he has to face him. Now the question is, does he forgive him?☕️Jungkook walks into the classroom and heads straight to his seat, ignoring Minjae who was sitting at the table right next to him. He turns to Jiyeon and smiles."Jungkook can you ask your beau to answer my texts? He has been ignoring me for the last two days!" Jiyeon whines."Maybe because you just want to talk about his brother." Jungkook chuckles."I thought we were connecting." Jiyeon pouts."Jungkook? Hello?" Minjae taps Jungkook's shoulder, but Jungkook ignores him. Jungkook has frozen up. He doesn't know how to deal with Minjae right now, so he decided to pretend he doesn't exist.Minjae sighs and turns back to the front. There was a guilt feeling stuck in Jungkook's stomach that he can't shake off."Okay listen up class, today is my last day here. Professor Seokjin is back from leave tomorrow. Now get your books out and self-study," Yoongi announces to the class as he leans back in his chair.Jiyeon snaps her head to Jungkook and gasps."Calm your tits Jiyeon." Jungkook laughs."It's about time! My love is coming back," Jiyeon says a little too loudly making a few heads turn."Excuse me?" Yoongi looks up from his computer."We are just so sad to see you go, sir," Jungkook says, covering up Jiyeon's outburst."That's sweet," Yoongi says nonchalantly."I'm so happy," Jiyeon sings to herself.☕️Jungkook was happy that Minjae decided not to join them for lunch. He didn't know how much longer he could keep the act up."I still haven't met this Taehyung guy," Hoseok says, taking a bite out of his sandwich."You must have it! He was working with me at that time you were at the cafe." Jimin says."I don't remember faces very well." Hoseok chuckles, scratching the back of his head."Jungkook is a lucky guy. He is super attractive," Yeonjun chimes.Jungkook blushes. It's true. Jungkook feels like Taehyung is out of his league. How did he land himself a guy like Taehyung?"Taehyung is just as lucky." Jimin smiles, rubbing Jungkook's back, making the boy blush even more."No way," Jungkook refutes. "Taehyung could do way better.""Oh shut up, Jungkook," Jiyeon butts in. "There is a line of guys and girls wanting to get a piece of you that you don't even know.""That reminds me. Where did Minjae go?" Hoseok asks."No clue. He left the moment class ended." Jiyeon says, now focusing back on her food."Good," Jimin says bitterly."You're so rude, Jimin!" Hoseok playfully slaps Jimin's arm."What? I don't like him. What of it?""Wow, Jimin disliking someone must be a huge deal." Yeonjun laughs."Jimin isn't all sunshine like everyone thinks," Hoseok laughs. "He is the best at holding grudges. One time he fought with a kid because the kid said his English was bad.""Hey! Don't expose me," Jimin pouts. "That kid was disrespectful, and I still think that till this very day.""Okay, okay." Hoseok chuckles.☕️"Yes! You guys fucking killed it!" Hyuna claps. They just showcased the final product of their routine. "I feel like you three should have your solo stages during the showcase.""I don't think we have enough time to allocate for that Hyuna," Hoseok explains."I don't care! We should do it." Hyuna says, disregarding what Hoseok said."We probably have one slot open for a solo performance," Hoseok says."Oh my god! That would be so cool to have a chance to perform solo," Yeonjun says excitedly."We should take the opportunity since it will help get exposure to sponsors and recruiters." Jimin nods, agreeing with Yeonjun."I think one of you two should go for it," Jungkook suggests."You should too Jungkook! We should all audition to make it fair," Jimin chimes."No! It's unfair for you guys because you two are pursuing dance as a profession. I'm just doing it as a hobby. I want you guys to shine.""How is it unfair? You're an amazing dancer Jungkook. You might even be the best one out of all of us. You have such a good chance of getting sponsored," Jimin says, disagreeing with Jungkook."You know I can't pursue this as a profession Jimin.""Live for yourself Jungkook. You don't have to accept anything. Just have some fun before you are stuck in an office for the rest of your life."Jungkook sighs."Just think about it okay?" Jimin asks."Fine." Jungkook smiles in defeat.☕️"So Jiyeon asked me to ask you why you have been ignoring her texts for the past two days," Jungkook says, leaning against the counter."She told you that?" Taehyung chuckles. "I will reply to her tonight then.""It's not nice ignoring people," Jungkook teases Taehyung as the boy steams milk for his coffee. Jungkook knows he is hypocritical here, but he doesn't care."I didn't mean to," Taehyung whines."I know." Jungkook smiles."Come here, watch this." Taehyung notions for Jungkook to look over the counter. Jungkook watches Taehyung pour his latte with much care. The cup starts to fill up, the milk he was pouring was so silky smooth. Something starts to form on the surface of the latte. With a single flick, he forms a heart, making Jungkook's eyes light up."For you," Taehyung says in a sweet voice, pushing the cup towards Jungkook. Jungkook mentally swoons. That was so fucking smooth."How did you do that?" Jungkook asks, amazed. A slight blush was visible on his face."Magic. I made it just for you." Taehyung coons."Oh, please. He makes hearts for like 100 other customers every day." Jimin laughs."Hey! Don't rain on my parade." Taehyung laughs along."Damn, I thought I was special." Jungkook chuckles."You are," Taehyung blows a kiss. "You are one in a million. This heart is different because it was meant for you and you only.""So, cheesy!" Jungkook whines, blushing harder than he was before."You love it," Taehyung smirks, returning to his duties.Jungkook smiles and looks down at the heart. He doesn't want to put a lid on the cup. How can he drink this now? The heart will be ruined the moment he sips it."Are you going to drink that or just stare at it all day?" Jimin laughs."Shh, I was just appreciating the artwork."☕️

----- CHAPTER BREAK -----

It's been three days since he started ignoring Minjae. So far he has successfully stopped every attempt Minjae tried to interact with him socially. He thought by now Minjae would give up, but he still receives texts from the boy. It's probably not the best way to handle this situation, but Jungkook doesn't care. It should go away soon, he tells himself.He plans on going out tonight with Taehyung—Taehyung had asked him out for dinner out of the blue. Jungkook couldn't turn down free food and Taehyung as a package. That's like two of the things he loves the most.Jungkook had been lying in bed for a while now, waiting for his alarm to tell him to get up. He thinks it's strange that he woke up before his alarm and it's been a while since he has woken up. He checks his phone and his eyes bulge out."What!? Jimin?!" Jungkook shouts.Jimin jolts out of bed startled by Jungkook's outburst. "What happened?!""I have 5 minutes to get ready for class. Why didn't my alarm go off?" Jungkook whines."Oh... that. You weren't turning off your alarm, so I turned it off myself," Jimin explains.Jungkook stares at Jimin speechless for a few seconds before lunging across the room hitting Jimin repeatedly with a pillow. "Why didn't you wake me up then?!""I'm sorry! I didn't think about it," Jimin says as he tries to hide underneath his blanket."You have no problem waking me up when I don't want to go to class, but when I need to go, you turn off my alarm," Jungkook pouts, throwing the pillow aside."Well, you should probably go?" Jimin chuckles."Thanks for your help," Jungkook sarcastically says, getting up to make himself look presentable. "Now I have to go out looking homeless.""Oh please. You are naturally good looking." Jimin rolls his eyes.Jungkook gets changed and quickly brushes his hair. He walks out saying goodbye to Jimin. Luckily Jungkook lives on campus.He walks into class late—Professor Seokjin is back. He braces himself, expecting a scolding. Seokjin looks up at him as he opens the door and smiles."Jungkook! How nice of you to join our class late. On my first day back too," Seokjin teases as Jungkook makes his way to his seat. Jungkook mumbles an apology and arrives at his usual seat only to see that it was occupied."M-Minjae? That's my seat.""Oh, It is? I'm sorry, Jungkook. I was mistaken." Minjae gets up, moving his stuff to the next desk. Jungkook curses under his breath, realising he just broke character, letting Minjae win. Jungkook was doing so well until now.Jungkook looks over to Minjae who had a slight smirk on his face, then turned the other way to see Jiyeon staring at the professor, looking love-struck."Are you conditioned to turn up late when Professor Seokjin is teaching? It's like you are trying to steal his attention," Jiyeon jokes though Jungkook doesn't know if she is actually joking. "Also, why did he talk to you like that? He doesn't talk to other students that playfully," she says, tilting her head in confusion.Jungkook looks to the front of the class, glancing at Seokjin. They locked eyes, and the teacher smiles at him, making Jungkook awkwardly look away. "Taehyung has probably told him about me," Jungkook says facepalming."They are that close? Oh my god. What if he told him I have a crush on him? He must not know... yet." Jiyeon says, worried."Of course they are close Jiyeon. They are brothers," Jungkook laughs before sighing. Why is the world so small? "Don't worry, Taehyung isn't a snitch.""Doesn't Minjae know Professor Seokjin as well?" Jiyeon asks Jungkook."He does. We pretend we don't know each other in class," Minjae butts in after overhearing the conversation."I wasn't asking you," Jiyeon scoffs."Jesus, why does every hate me right now," Minjae groans."I guess it's your talent," Jiyeon says, rolling her eyes at the boy. Jungkook can't help but chuckle over the quarrel. He wishes that they were all on good terms again like they were before. He enjoyed those times."Whatever. Jungkook, can we talk after class now that you have finally acknowledged my existence?" Minjae asks."No," Jungkook coughs. "You can't slide back in that easily.""Then how am I supposed to make it up to you?""You can't," Jiyeon snorts."You're driving me insane Jungkook." Minjae whines.Jungkook just looks to the front, trying to tune in to what Seokjin was saying to the class.☕️"Jungkook, please... Just give me one more chance." Minjae approaches Jungkook in the hallway."Why should I?" Jungkook asks."Because I don't want to lose you... as a friend.""What is so special about me, anyway?"Minjae stares into Jungkook's eyes, not answering his question."Well?" Jungkook asks, annoyed. "If you don't have a good reason, then why should I give you another chance?""I...""You've had all this time to come up with something, and you still have nothing?" Jungkook snorts."I know. I'm pretty pathetic," Minjae chuckles. "Even so, I hope you have it in your heart to forgive me.""I will think about it. Bye, Minjae." Jungkook walks off, leaving Minjae behind."Jungkook!" Yeonjun comes running up to Jungkook with a box of chocolates."Please don't tell me you are here to confess to me," Jungkook chuckles."No! I'm selling chocolates to raise funds for the dance trip at the end of the year! I was going to tell you about it because it would be super cool if you could come.""Oh? It does sound fun. I have to ask my mum for funds, though." Jungkook smiles."My mum wouldn't even donate a cent to me," Yeonjun laughs. "That's why I'm here trying to sell chocolates! Wanna buy one?""Sure." Jungkook reaches out to grab one, handing Yeonjun some cash in exchange."Thanks! This is a good start." Yeonjun smiles."People will buy chocolates off you because you're cute." Jungkook laughs."You just gave me an amazing idea," Yeonjun smirks."What are you thinking?" Jungkook asks curiously."Sorry! Have to go. Talk to you later Jungkook." Yeonjun bids his goodbyes and rushes off. Jungkook chuckles to himself—Yeonjun is a bundle of joy.☕️"So where are we going?" Jungkook asks."It's somewhere that makes the best food in town," Taehyung says. They had just got off the train, and the area didn't seem to have many restaurants."This place seems a bit too residential. Did we get off at the wrong station?" Jungkook looks at Taehyung for an answer."No. It's more of a hidden gem." Taehyung assures Jungkook."Alright... By the way, have you told your brother about me?""Funny you asked that." Taehyung chuckles."What? Why?" Jungkook was confused."You will see," Taehyung smirks. "To answer your previous question, yes."They arrive at a house, confusing Jungkook even more. "Why are we here?"Taehyung puts a finger to his lip, hushing the boy. He then rings the doorbell. The door opens to a smiling Seokjin.Jungkook's eyes widen in shock. "P-Professor?!""Jungkook! Tae! Welcome. Come in." Seokjin invites the two in."You didn't tell me you were taking me to see my teacher," Jungkook whispers into Taehyung's ear."Sorry. He was just really excited to invite you over, and I thought surprising you would be funny. Your reaction didn't disappoint," Taehyung whispers back."I've heard so much about you Jungkook and when I found out you were one of my students," Seokjin pauses to catch his breath. "Sorry, it's just so exciting hearing that Tae had got a new boyfriend. He doesn't really date, so this means you are super special.""Hey..." Taehyung playfully punches Seokjin's arm.Jungkook blushes and looks at Taehyung. Jungkook is curious about his past relationships. What does Seokjin mean by 'doesn't really date'."I was pretty shocked when I found out that you were Taehyung's brother." Jungkook chuckles."It just means you can't slack off in class now because I have my eyes on you," Seokjin teases. "By the way, just call me Seokjin. No need to call me professor here.""Oh, okay." Jungkook smiles."Hope you guys are hungry. I prepared a feast for you two." Seokjin smiles such a genuine smile.☕️

----- CHAPTER BREAK -----

"This is so good!" Jungkook says as he shovels down the food Seokjin had prepared. "I haven't had something this good since Tae cooked for me last time. Must run in the family."Seokjin looks at Taehyung amused like they were hiding something from Jungkook. Seokjin suddenly jumps in his seat. "Oh, sorry. I kicked my toe on the table," Seokjin coughs out. "Yeah, it runs in the family.""My mum never let me cook. It always turned out bad when I cooked." Jungkook laughs."Taehyung is the sa-" Seokjin says before getting cut off by Taehyung's glare."Sorry? What were you saying?" Jungkook asks after finishing what was in his mouth."Taehyung makes the best tiramisu!" Seokjin grins cheekily."What?!" Taehyung looks at Seokjin in disbelief."He should make it for you." Seokjin smiles wider."Yes! I would love that. Can you please?" Jungkook turns to Taehyung, begging with his eyes."I guess..." Taehyung says awkwardly, scratching the back of his head.Jungkook's eyes light up, and he smiles. "I will love anything you cook.""I wouldn't say that." Taehyung laughs nervously."Hey, don't downplay yourself." Jungkook pouts."Anyways, you seem to have some good friends in my class," Seokjin says to Jungkook. "Minjae and Jiyeon."Jungkook chuckles to himself. Jiyeon will be over the moon when he tells her Seokjin remembered her name, after all that time away."Such a coincidence that you are friends with Minjae. He is such a sweet boy," Seokjin continues.Taehyung tightens his grip on his cutlery. What Seokjin said, seemed to have triggered Taehyung."Yeah..." Jungkook coughs mid-sentence. "We have all gotten pretty close.""Minjae and Taehyung are childhood friends. It's such a small world," Seokjin says, smiling happily. "Next time we should invite him over!""No," Taehyung says bitterly."What why? We haven't all been together in the same place for such a long time." Seokjin asks, confused."You see us all often, why do we need to all be in the same place," Taehyung answers."Gee, fine. Someone is moody," Seokjin says, rolling his eyes. "Did you guys have another falling out? You two are always fighting.""No. Nothing happened," Taehyung says, putting his cutlery down. He gets up and puts his plate in the sink. "Did you make dessert?" Taehyung questions.Seokjin chuckles. "Who do you think I am? Let me go get it."☕️"That was nice," Jungkook says, leaning his head on Taehyung's shoulder. "Dinner with your brother and all.""Glad you enjoyed." Taehyung wraps his arm around Jungkook's shoulder. They were sitting on the train, heading back to Taehyung's apartment."What did he mean by you and Minjae fighting all the time?" Jungkook questions."Ever since we were little, Minjae had looked up to me. Everything I had, he also wanted. It was the worst in high school.""What happened?""Well, in High school, we became competitive. We would fight over relationships and friends. A lot of bad stuff happened. We sorted it out eventually. We had been on and off since high school, but what kept us together was our families. Our families had always been so close. My mother adores Minjae," Taehyung explains. "In fact, she likes Minjae more than me," he scoffs.Jungkook gives a look of sympathy to Taehyung."No, it's okay. I'm not close with mother anyways." Taehyung smiles.Jungkook thinks about his own mother. He feels like he would be torn if his mother liked someone else more than her own son. He loves his mother more than anything in the world."Oh, look," Taehyung stands up. "It's our stop."The two then make their way off the train.☕️Jungkook was waiting for Taehyung to come out of the shower. He decided to surprise Taehyung. He was naked with only a pillow covering his private area. It's been a while since they had done anything and Jungkook isn't going to miss the perfect opportunity to get some.He feels like he has been lying on the bed for ages now. It's starting to get cold without any clothes on. He hears the shower stop and quickly gets into position. Taehyung walks out with a towel wrapped around his hips. He was using another small towel to dry his hair. Taehyung stops walking the moment he sees Jungkook lying there suggestively."You were waiting for me?" Taehyung smirks."Yes... I've been so patient." Jungkook blushes. He sits up, moving to the side of the bed. He reaches out to palm Taehyung's member through the towel. He could see that Taehyung was already hard."Such a good boy," Taehyung moans. "I guess I could give you a reward."Jungkook blushes hard. Is he hearing correctly? Taehyung has never talked to him like that before, but he is not complaining.Taehyung throws the towel that he was using to dry his hair to the side and reaches out to run his hands through Jungkook's hair. "You can remove the towel if you want."That's all Jungkook needed to hear. He removes the towel from Taehyung's hips, revealing his hard member. He gets off the bed a kneels in front of Taehyung. He looks up at Taehyung for reassurance. Taehyung nods down at Jungkook, knowing exactly what was going through his mind. Jungkook leans in to lick the tip of Taehyung's member, teasing the elder."Don't tease Jungkook," Taehyung moans.Jungkook loved rilling Taehyung up. He wants Taehyung to get frustrated so that he can unleash his frustrations on him. So Jungkook decides to be a little naughty. He reaches out a hand to roam Taehyung's body, admiring the work of art. He slowly leans in again, only to suck the tip of the penis, refusing to go further. He wants Taehyung to snap and fuck his throat."C'mon baby... you're driving me insane," Taehyung moans. He wants more and Jungkook was limiting what he got, giving little by little.Jungkook gives in a little, sucking Taehyung's member, slowly taking it in, inch by inch and then retracting, before going back in again. The slow, consistent pace was making Taehyung beg for more.Taehyung grabs Jungkook's head and slowly moves his hips along with Jungkook's head motions. Jungkook couldn't help but moan."Your mouth feels so good around my cock," Taehyung moans.He then pulls out and lifts Jungkook back up onto the bed, kissing him passionately."Fuck me," Jungkook says, biting down on his bottom lip. Jungkook was trying his hardest to look good for Tae.Taehyung opens the bedside drawer pulling out a bottle of lube. He squeezes some lube onto his hand, then proceeds to prepare Jungkook."Quick, you don't need to prepare me. I want it now," Jungkook says, gasping as he feels Taehyung's fingers enter him. He can't believe what's coming out of his mouth."I love my needy boy," Taehyung moans. He then lathers his member with the leftover lube and positions himself in front of Jungkook's entrance.He slowly pushes in the tip, making Jungkook release a throaty moan. Hearing Jungkook's voice made Taehyung snap, shoving the rest of his member in.Jungkook's eyes widen as he gasps. Taehyung hit his spot dead on, first try. It was a little painful, but Jungkook wanted more."S-Sorry, I didn't mean to-""Again," Jungkook demands, taking Taehyung off guard.Taehyung gives what Jungkook wants. He pulls out slowly before slamming back in, making Jungkook gasp again. He continues to pull in and out at the same pace making Jungkook scream, each time Taehyung slammed into his prostate.The intense pleasure was keeping Jungkook on edge, leaving Jungkook to beg for more. "F-Faster," Jungkook asks, rolling his head back.Taehyung thrusts in and out, each thrust becoming faster. Jungkook reaches out to stroke his own member that was begging for attention. Not long after Jungkook started to feel a familiar feeling in his gut, he was close."I-I want to cum," Jungkook moans out."Can you wait a bit?" Taehyung asks, which Jungkook replies with a weak nod. His body was giving in. Jungkook doesn't know how long he can hold it in for."I can't..." Jungkook whines."Okay baby, cum for me," Taehyung says. And just like that, Jungkook was sent over the edge, white spurting over his stomach. Taehyung pulls out and releases his load on Jungkook. Jungkook's eyes widen at how much came out.The two were out of breath. Taehyung lies down next to Jungkook and looks at the boy. Jungkook looks back and smiles. Taehyung smiles back and flicks Jungkook's nose, causing the younger to laugh."You're personality changes in a split second. It's really cute." Taehyung coons."Yeah, yeah. Now clean me up." Jungkook says, pointing at the tissues on the bedside table."As you say, princess." Taehyung scoffs.☕️

----- CHAPTER BREAK -----

Jungkook pouts as he wakes up to an empty bed. Where did Taehyung go? The shower isn't on, so he can't be there. He decides to get up and get changed. As he puts his shirt on, he hears voices. He peeks his head out of the room to see Taehyung talking to someone at the door. He backs away but then decides to listen in."I came to apologise, why can't you accept it? You can't just throw away our friendship like that," a familiar voice says."What you did was the last straw. You know how much Jungkook means to me." Taehyung angrily replies.Jungkook's ears perk up when he hears his name mentioned. They were talking about him."I've said sorry to both of you... I don't know what else I can do," the man says."How about you just move on Minjae?""Minjae?" Jungkook whispers to himself. "Why is he here?"Why won't you let me in to talk?" Minjae asks."I have to get ready for work," Taehyung replies."He's here, isn't he?""No." Taehyung closes the door without another word. That was a bit harsh Jungkook thinks.You can hear Minjae protest on the other side of the door. Jungkook sighs and goes to walk back to bed but is stopped by the floorboards creaking."Shit," Jungkook curses to himself."Jungkook?" Taehyung walks over and opens the door. "What are you doing?""I-I just woke up." It wasn't a lie. He really did."You were listening?" Taehyung smirks."No.. I didn't hear anything.""Liar," Taehyung accuses. "I should punish you for eavesdropping.""W-What?" Jungkook's eyes widen.Taehyung walks closer to Jungkook, slowly closing the gap between them. "I made sure to tell Minjae that you are mine."Chills went down Jungkook's spine. He doesn't know if he should be excited or mad. They were treating him like an object but the way Taehyung claims him makes Jungkook think very dirty thoughts."Y-You should make up," Jungkook suggests."What?" Taehyung tilts his head confused. "Even after what he did to you?""Nothing bad happened... I forgave him," Jungkook explains."Right." Taehyung looks disappointed. "Drugging your drink and putting you in danger is not bad?""B-But you were there to keep me safe." Jungkook pouts."What if I wasn't?" Taehyung sighs.Jungkook stays silent. He is right, but Jungkook wants to believe that Minjae didn't have bad intentions. Taehyung looks upset. Jungkook is now worried that he said something wrong."Are things okay?" Jungkook asks."Yeah. Everything is fine," Taehyung smiles. "If you really want me to forgive him. I will. Just for you.""I don't want to see you two ruin your friendship over me." Jungkook pouts."Fine. I will give him one more chance. What do you want to eat for breakfast?" Taehyung asks as he turns to walk towards the kitchen."You." Fuck. Why does he always say stupid shit on impulse?Taehyung laughs wholeheartedly. "Sorry babe, but I have work.""I-I didn't mean to say that." Jungkook covers his face in embarrassment."Come here," Taehyung sweetly says.Jungkook just shakes his head, refusing. Taehyung chuckles again and walks towards the boy, removing his hands away from his face."Look at me," Taehyung demands. Jungkook looks up embarrassed. Taehyung looks right into Jungkook's eyes.Jungkook felt like he was drowning into them. Taehyung reaches out to caress Jungkook's cheek, then closes the gap between their lips. The kiss was sweet. Their mouths break apart, and Taehyung embraces Jungkook."I love you," Taehyung whispers into Jungkook's ear."I love you too."☕️"Jungkook!" A voice shouts.Jungkook turns around and spots Minjae walking towards him. Jungkook tells himself to stay calm."Minjae?""Hey, Jungkook." Minjae waves at him."H-Hi." Smooth Jungkook, smooth."Let's go to class together," Minjae suggests.Minjae really is trying hard. Jungkook would have given up by now if he was him."O-Ok..." Jungkook accepts his offer. They both had to go to the same class anyway.They walked into the campus silently. Neither of them said a word to each other. Jungkook was too awkward to converse. He doesn't hate the boy, but he doesn't feel the same around him.They walked into the classroom and sat in their usual seats. The silence was awkward."So..." Minjae finally breaks the silence."Jungkook!" Jiyeon came rushing in. "I think I just scored myself a job," she says as she sits down."Congratulations, where did you apply?" Jungkook asks."It's a secret until I know for sure that I got the job," Jiyeon says, smiling widely."Really? Not even a hint?" Jungkook pouts."Nope.""Why tell me if you weren't going to tell me the entire story," Jungkook whines."Sorry. It's classified," Jiyeon gets out her phone and fixes her hair looking at the selfie cam. "Do you know what Professor Seokjin's favourite drink is?""I thought you know everything about him," Minjae says nonchalantly.Jiyeon snaps her head to Minjae, giving him a dirty look. "If I knew, why would I be asking? I'm asking Jungkook because he is dating the brother of the love of my life.""Gee. Sorry. You could just ask him personally?" Minjae suggests."Are you crazy?" Jiyeon puffs."I don't know though," Jungkook answers the previous question. "You should ask Taehyung.""I've been asking him too many things. He is like giving me a question allowance, and I've already used my question today," Jiyeon explains.Jungkook chuckles. "What exactly do you ask him?""You know... just the basics." Jiyeon flicks her hair back."Like?" Jungkook tilts his head confused. Knowing Jiyeon, it's probably weird trivial stuff about him."What size he is," Jiyeon says with a straight face."What?!" Minjae and Jungkook shout in unison. Jungkook wasn't expecting that. What did Taehyung reply?"No! It's not what you're thinking!" Jiyeon's cheeks flare up."Good morning, class. Everyone get your textbooks out so we can start today's lesson." Seokjin walks in, getting straight to business.Minjae and Jungkook burst out in laughter. She won't be able to explain herself now."It really isn't guys! I meant for clothes!" Jiyeon tries to defend herself."Sure Jiyeon, sure." Minjae smirks.☕️"Why is Minjae eating with us again," Jimin scoffs."Jimin! Don't be so rude," Hoseok hushes Jimin.Jungkook just chuckles at how straightforward Jimin is when he doesn't like someone."I agree with you, Jimin, but there is nothing you can say to change Minjae's mind. He had been begging throughout our last class," Jiyeon sighs."I'm not that bad guys." Minjae acts hurt."I believe in second chances, so let's not be nasty," Hoseok says."More like 3rd chances," Jimin adds. "But fine. I will be civil."Thanks." Minjae smiles, passive-aggressively."Anyways, Summer is coming up soon. I was wondering if you guys wanted to do anything during the break?" Hoseok asks."We should all do something together! I think that's a great idea," Yeonjun gets up in his seat. "My family has a holiday house that we could use.""Really? You need to ask permission first, though?" Jungkook asks, fancying the idea."I'm sure they will say yes. There is a beach there and all. You could invite Taehyung too!""Okay, it's decided. Let's start planning." Jimin stands up to hi-five Yeonjun."I'm in," Jiyeon smiles then looks at the time. "Oh shit. Sorry guys, I have to run.""Where are you going? Don't you have another class?" Jungkook asks, confused."I'm ditching for a job interview.""Oh! Good luck." Jungkook chirps.Everyone wishes Jiyeon the best and she thanks them all before heading off. Jungkook wonders what type of job Jiyeon applied for. When did she suddenly get the interest to work?☕️

----- CHAPTER BREAK -----

"Wake up Jungkook." Jimin nudges the boy.Jungkook rolls over and hides his head under the pillow. "Five more minutes.""Alright. Be late to class then," Jimin chuckles, giving up easily. "I have work so I won't be able to come to dance practice today."Jungkook mumbles a reply, but Jimin can't comprehend what he is saying. Jungkook didn't know himself if he was honest."Alright. I will be off," Jimin says as he grabs his bag. "Come to the cafe after uni."Jungkook mumbles again. Something on the lines of 'You can't tell me what to do.'Jimin leaves, leaving Jungkook to rest his eyes a little longer. It seemed like a few minutes had passed when he finally woke up, only to realise he slept through his whole class."Shit!" Jungkook curses as he looks at the time.His phone vibrates, showing a text from an unknown number.
Unknown:

It's your favourite teacher. Why weren't you in class hmm? I asked Tae for your number so I can keep tabs on your tardiness. Come to my office when you decide to stop wagging. :)
Jungkook's eyes widen. It was Seokjin. Why does the smiley face at the end look like he wants to kill me? He curses again. Of course, his teacher had to be the brother of the person he is dating.Jungkook quickly showers and throws on some new clothes, making sure he looked somewhat presentable. He gets his phone out to text Taehyung.
Jungkook;

I can't believe you ratted me out!!
He gets a reply instantly surprising the boy.
Taehyung:

I know you're not sick :) It's not good to skip classes~
Jungkook scoffs. Taehyung seemed like the type to skip class as well.He grabs his stuff and heads out the door and runs into Minjae in the halls."Minjae? What are you doing here?" Jungkook asks with suspicion."I'm looking for someone for a study session," Minjae replies. "I didn't know you lived on this floor.""You're looking for someone in my dormitory complex?" Jungkook wasn't buying it. Why did he look so calm blatantly lying?"Yes. It's for my elective class.""Okay, so what room number are you looking for?""Room 21.""It's to the left.""Thanks. I was so lost." Minjae confesses."Sure..." Jungkook watches Minjae walk down the hall and knock on the door. To his surprise, someone opens it, letting him in."Well... maybe he wasn't lying," Jungkook says to himself. Wait... isn't that the boy who gave Minjae his number earlier in the semester?"Study session my ass." Jungkook scoffs, as he makes his way out of the building.The walk from his dormitory to the main campus goes by quickly. How he manages to be late for classes when he lives so close is beyond him.He stands in front of Seokjin's office, too scared to knock. He reaches out his hand then retracts it."Nope," Jungkook says under his breath. He decides not to knock and walk away only for the door to open."Jungkook? Where are you going?" Seokjin asks.Jungkook freezes. "I was making my way to your office?""Well, you went past it." Seokjin chuckles."My bad," Jungkook says awkwardly."Come in," Seokjin invites Jungkook to sit down in his office. "Why did you skip class today? You don't seem sick.""I... um..." Jungkook tries hard to think of an excuse, but his mind went blank."You slept through it?" Seokjin guesses."No! I would never... okay maybe I did." Jungkook looks down at his hands.Seokjin laughs. "It's okay. You're not in trouble. I was just worried about you. You didn't seem very attentive in yesterday's class.""W-What do you mean?" Jungkook asks, a little confused."You seemed like you weren't enjoying my lecture." Seokjin acts hurt. "I worked so hard on it.""No, no, no! I love your lectures! So much better than professor Yoongi's lectures," Jungkook says in a panic."Professor Yoongi? They asked him to cover my class?" Seokjin looked amused."Yeah. It was self-study every day," Jungkook says."Sounds like him," Seokjin chuckles. "Anyways, back on topic. Do you enjoy what you do?"That question hits Jungkook hard. He always hated it when he was at family gatherings, and they would always ask him what he wanted to do when he grew up. So he lied to everyone saying he wanted to be a lawyer just to please his mother. He doesn't hate it, but he doesn't particularly enjoy it either. He still has no idea what he would enjoy as a profession."Of course I enjoy it," Jungkook says, after a long pause."Are you sure?" Seokjin asks, not believing the boy."Well... It's a good-paying job," Jungkook says, trying to justify his decision."But do you enjoy it?" Seokjin asks again, trying to stress his point."Yes," Jungkook says, with a hint of uncertainty this time."You can tell me anything, Jungkook. Be honest with me," Seokjin says with a comforting smile."Well... It's just... I don't know what else I would do." Jungkook confesses. He feels like Seokjin wouldn't take his previous answer, so he gives in."I know how you feel Jungkook. We all go through this at some point in our lives.""You went through this?" Jungkook asks. As he said that, he remembers what Taehyung told him in the car when he found Seokjin's business cards."I had a dream of being an actor, but I held myself back because of other peoples expectations of me," Seokjin confesses, with a look of regret in his eyes. "I was the golden child in my parents' eyes. I always had to set an example for Taehyung.""Taehyung said you used to audition?""That's correct. I turned down a big role because I didn't want to disappoint my parents and I cared so much about being a good example to Tae that in the end, I ended up doing something I didn't enjoy,"Seokjin clears his throat. "What I'm trying to say is, you're still young Jungkook. You are not locked into what you're doing. I'm giving you this advice. Follow what you're heart wants; otherwise, you will end up like me. Not enjoying what you do for the rest of your life.""I-I..." Jungkook mouth opens then closes, trying to find the right words to say."I know. It's a lot to take in, so just think about it. You should go to a career counsellor. It's free for all students, and I think you benefit from it greatly," Seokjin suggests.Jungkook pounders on the idea. I guess it won't hurt to give it a try."Thanks for today," Jungkook smiles. "I will think about it.""That's great to hear. Don't worry about what you missed today. I will fill you in another time.""Thanks again."Seokjin was acting as a father figure. Jungkook felt like he cared about him. Jungkook smiles to himself. He was filling the hole in his life that his birth father left him.☕️

----- CHAPTER BREAK -----

Yeonjun was sprawled out on the floor of the dance studio until he hears footsteps. "Jungkook!" He shouts, getting up abruptly. "I was waiting forever for someone to show up.""Sorry," Jungkook says, with an apologetic look on his face. "I had to see my teacher in his office.""That's okay. Where is Jimin?" Yeonjun asks."He had work today. He didn't text you about it?""What's the point of dance practice if he isn't here. We needed to practise our formations. We can't formation with two people," Yeonjun pouts. "And no, he didn't text me.""Yeah. It looks like it's just us two again." Jungkook smiles."What do we do then?" Yeonjun asks."We can just chill? Put some music on?" Jungkook suggests.Yeonjun gets his portable speaker out of his bag and starts to play some music. "I guess we can do some freestyle dancing?" Yeonjun starts to stretch."I'm up for that!" Jungkook's eyes light up."I guess it's practice for when we battle it out for that solo spot in the showcase." Yeonjun jokes.The two dance to a whole range of different music before collapsing on the floor, tired and puffing."Probably a bit TMI but, remember when I talked about my sex life ages ago?" Yeonjun says, using a towel to wipe the sweat off his forehead."How you wanted to switch up the positions because you were curious, but your boyfriend was too stubborn to try?" Jungkook guesses."Yeah that. So well... the other day he finally said yes to topping and..." Yeonjun scratches his head embarrassed."Well? It wasn't good?" Jungkook asks."It didn't really happen... He couldn't get it in.""What?! Is he that big?" Jungkook asks surprised."No, it's not that... We were both so nervous that it just didn't work out. He didn't know what he was doing, and my hole was refusing to let anything in." Yeonjun chuckles."Well, that sucks." Jungkook tries to hide his amusement. Honestly, Jungkook can't think of any situation that is more embarrassing than this."I concluded that bottoming is hard and it might not be my thing," Yeonjun confesses."At least this experience helped you clear the air on this topic." Jungkook laughs. Jungkook wonders what Yeonjun's boyfriend looks like. He should ask sometime."Yeah... I guess so.""What should we do now then?" Jungkook asks.We should go to the cafe." Yeonjun suggests. "Since we have nothing better to do. We can hang out there and maybe go shopping?!""Sounds good," Jungkook says, liking Yeonjun's idea. He can see Taehyung at the cafe again. It's been a while, and he misses the place.The two head off into the showers to clean up. All that dancing made him develop an appetite.☕️They walk into the cafe all chirpy. Yeonjun was telling Jungkook, all the gossip about all the people in the dance major while they walked to the cafe. Might as well become drama majors he thinks."J-Jiyeon?" Yeonjun stutters.Jungkook looks over to where Yeonjun's eyes landed and see Jiyeon standing behind the register in a cute apron, looking directly at the two."Jungkook! Yeonjun!" Jiyeon happily calls them over."The job you were talking about is here?" Jungkook asks, shocked."Surprised?" Jiyeon giggles. "I begged Taehyung for days!""Wow. Congratulations, but why here?" Jungkook asks."Because here I am one step closer to the love of my life. Duh." Jiyeon twirls her hair with her finger."Your infatuation for my brother really does fascinate me." Taehyung chuckles from behind the coffee machine then winks at Jungkook as a greeting. Jungkook smiles back."So... like... What can I get for you two today?" Jiyeon asks, only just remembering that she must do."I want a large mocha!" Yeonjun happily says. "But with less coffee and more chocolate."Jiyeon notes it down on the cup, then looks at the cash register confused."I will try the same as him," Jungkook says, feeling adventurous."Oh! And add vanilla in mine." Yeonjun adds."No vanilla for me. Not into it," Jungkook says."What the fuck? How can you not like vanilla?" Yeonjun asks."It's too plain," Jungkook says nonchalantly."It's like one of the best flavours." Yeonjun pouts."Whoa, whoa guys. Calm down. I'm still trying to figure out how to use the cash register," Jiyeon says.Jimin walks out from the back carrying a crate of milk. He greets the boys while putting the crate down, walking up to the cash register to help Jiyeon."Need help again?" Jimin chuckles."Yeah.. umm, how do you put flavour syrups into the drinks on the cash register?" Jiyeon asks, confused."You just have to click the plus button here on the side," Jimin motions with his finger. "Then you just scroll down to what you want to add to the drink.""Gee. Why so complicated?" Jiyeon rolls her eyes then smiles. "Thanks, Jimin.""You did put vanilla in mine right?" Yeonjun asks."And no vanilla in mine?" Jungkook adds."Yes, guys! Chill out," Jiyeon says, flicking her hair back. "I got this.""Phew thank god for Jimin," Yeonjun jokes. Knowing it would probably trigger Jiyeon."Hey! I'm quite capable thank you very much. Also, I'm new so give me a break." Jiyeon pouts."Yeonjun is only joking." Jungkook chuckles. It's so easy to get Jiyeon riled up, and it's so cute."Alright. Sit down before I throw hands," Jiyeon says, smiling.The two head over to their regular table. "So like... what is a mocha?" Jungkook asks."You don't know what a mocha is?" Yeonjun looks at Jungkook, thinking he was joking.Jungkook just stares back blankly. He honestly has no idea what any of these drinks are. That's how he got stuck drinking long blacks for the last few months."Oh, boy. So like a mocha is a coffee but with chocolate inside of it. So like chocolate mixed with coffee. Best of both worlds? People usually order it when they don't like the taste of coffee but still want that coffee kick," Yeonjun explains."Ohhh. That's cool," Jungkook chuckles. "Sorry, I'm a bit of a coffee noob.""All good." Yeonjun chuckles."Who had vanilla and who had the normal one," Jimin asks, walking over to the two."You don't remember?" Jungkook teases."I'm horrible at remembering peoples orders. Plus Jiyeon didn't put names on them!" Jimin says in his defence."Well, I'm the one without vanilla," Jungkook says."Of course you are, you kinky bastard," Jimin jokes.Yeonjun chokes and breaks out in laughter. "Jungkook! You need to tell us all about your kink adventures.""What kinks?!" Jungkook's starts to get flustered."Yeah what kinks?" Taehyung says from behind Jungkook scaring the crap out of the boy."You need to tell me these things Jungkook," He whispers sexily into Jungkook's ear, making Jungkook's face turn red."This is all your fault, Jimin!" Jungkook cries out, embarrassed.They all laugh in unison. Jungkook was always the butt of all jokes."Come to mine tonight," Taehyung whispers before going back to work. It wasn't a question; it was demand.☕️

----- CHAPTER BREAK -----

"You know I got jealous earlier today," Taehyung says, with his arm wrapped around Jungkook's shoulders.They were watching a movie in Taehyung's apartment. The films they watch were never that interesting. He would usually pay more attention to the movements Taehyung would make and his facial expressions while he watched the movie. Honestly, Taehyung himself is a movie. Jungkook could watch him all day.But today, they were watching Iron Man. Iron Man was his shit. He loves this movie, so Jungkook is low key annoyed at Taehyung pestering him throughout the film. Jungkook theorises that Taehyung was more active due to the lack of attention he was giving the elder."What do you mean? I did nothing really," Jungkook nonchalantly replies."And you are making me jealous now too," Taehyung whines.Jungkook turns to focus his attention on Taehyung, "How did I make you jealous?""You were talking about your kinks to Yeonjun and Jimin. Jimin was teasing me about it throughout my whole shift." Taehyung pouts.Jungkook's cheeks flare up red. It's rare to see Taehyung pout, and Jungkook is all for it because he is honestly the cutest, sexiest, most beautiful being on this planet. But at the same time, Jungkook was so embarrassed over the whole kink situation Jimin had put him in. It's all a lie."W-What do you mean? I don't have any kinks..." Well, at least he doesn't think so."C'mon babe, don't hide stuff from me. I won't judge," Taehyung says, pausing the movie so Jungkook wouldn't get distracted."Hey! I was watching that," Jungkook complains."No. Watch me instead." Taehyung gets up and starts to slowly pull up his shirt, revealing his nicely toned body.Jungkook bites his lip in anticipation. Honestly, Jungkook is always a horny little bitch. It's way too easy to make him needy. Only for Taehyung though. His hormones have gotten him in trouble many times since moving here for university."You like what you see?" Taehyung asks seductively.Jungkook was so close to blurting out 'fuck me' right then and there, but for once in his life, Jungkook had controlled himself. He isn't going to give in easily this time, even though that sounds contradicting to what Jungkook wants. Jungkook loves build-up and playing hard to get."Why are you so silent? Are you just lost for words?" Taehyung asks, with a smug grin. "I can tell you want me. The way you are suppressing your words by biting your lip doesn't fool me.""I-I want to watch the movie," Jungkook lies. He wants Taehyung to destroy him."I don't think you do," Taehyung smirks. He unbuttons his jeans and slowly pulls the zipper down. "I want to discover more things about you.""N-No... You know everything," Jungkook says. Well, at least he knows everything that he, himself knows."Well if you don't want to tell me, I will have to find out myself," Taehyung says, causing Jungkook to moan at the thought of it. Taehyung always said the right words to turn Jungkook into a mess.Jungkook tries to stand up but is forced down by Taehyung's hands pushing down on his shoulders."No. You will stay there for now. Take it off," Taehyung demands, pointing at Jungkook's shirt.Jungkook obeys without a second thought. There he was, shirtless and his member growing in his pants."See? You don't need the movie," Taehyung teases, slowly pulling down on his jeans, revealing the outline of his rock hard member through his underwear.Jungkook reaches out to touch Taehyung's member through the fabric, appreciating every inch. He massages his hands in circular motions, making the boy moan. Taehyung reaches down to Jungkook's head, running his hand through his hair.Jungkook pulls down on Taehyung's underwear, causing Taehyung's member to fling out, standing proudly.He stares at Taehyung's member, admiring the way it stood up for him before looking up at Taehyung."Can I?" Jungkook asks, implying that he wants to taste Taehyung.Taehyung nods in reply, letting the younger engulf his member. Jungkook sucked on Taehyung's member like it was all that mattered in life. He enjoys every moment, making the elder moan his name.Taehyung pulls on Jungkook's hair making the boy moan. "Oh? So you like that, huh?" He asks tugging harder.Jungkook couldn't help but moan again.Taehyung takes this a sign to thrust his member in and out of Jungkook's throat. Jungkook gags for a bit but takes it all in. He doesn't want to disappoint Taehyung.Jungkook roams his hands around Taehyung's hips. Gripping onto them, bracing himself as Taehyung thrusts into his mouth.Taehyung pulls out, leaving Jungkook confused."W-What?" Jungkook asks."Enough for me, let's focus on you," he says, kneeling to kiss Jungkook."Me?" Jungkook questions.He straddles Jungkook, leaning down to bite on his neck. Jungkook rolls his head back moaning."You like that too?" Taehyung chuckles lightly."N-No," Jungkook squeaks. His cheeks heat up. He was embarrassed for enjoying it."No need to be shy baby," Taehyung says, caressing Jungkook's cheek before leaning in for a second kiss, "Shall we take this to bed?" He suggests.Jungkook nods in reply. Taehyung stands up, lifting Jungkook bridal style."You're in for a treat," Taehyung smirks, as he lays Jungkook down on to the bed.Taehyung helps Jungkook out of his clothing. Jungkook felt so vulnerable in this very moment. He doesn't know what Taehyung will do next."Spread your legs," Taehyung demands, popping open a bottle of lube.Jungkook does as he told. Taehyung starts to prepare Jungkook's hole with his fingers."Are you ready?" Taehyung asks, in which Jungkook replies with a soft whine of approval.Taehyung opens up his drawer and retrieves a foreign item. Jungkook tries to sit up to take a look but is forced back down by Taehyung."Stay," Taehyung says.He then proceeds to insert to foreign object into Jungkook's entrance, startling Jungkook."W-What is that?" Jungkook asks."A vibrator," Taehyung replies while smirking."V-Vibrator?!" Jungkook sits up slightly, only to be pushed back down onto the bed."Relax baby. It will make you feel good," Taehyung assures.He turns it on making Jungkook roll his head back. He lets out a long throaty moan. It feels so different, but not in a bad way. The vibration waves were making Jungkook see stars."How does it feel?" Taehyung asks."W-Why... no... nng... where did you get-" Jungkook stops mid-sentence just as Taehyung changes the settings, making the vibrations more intense.Jungkook was already a moaning mess. He wonders if Taehyung's neighbours had ever filed a noise complaint against them since Jungkook could never seem to shut up whenever they do stuff together."Your moans are beautiful baby," Taehyung sweetly says, roaming his hands over Jungkook's body.Taehyung rids the leftover clothing he was wearing and gets up on top of Jungkook, placing kisses from his neck down to his nipples. He lightly sucks on Jungkook's nipples, making Jungkook moan even louder. Taehyung was finding all his sensitive spots, and he is not sure if he should be happy or embarrassed.Jungkook's member was begging for attention, but Taehyung was a tease. Touching every part of his body, but his erection. Every time Jungkook reached out to touch himself, Taehyung would slap his hand away."P-Please..." Jungkook begs."I'm punishing you.""W-Why?""Because you wouldn't tell me about your kinks," Taehyung smirks, "But it's okay because I'm having fun trying to find out."Jungkook bites his lips and tries to sit up again, wanting Taehyung to push him back down and punish him some more."You want to be punished, huh? Is that one of your kinks?" Taehyung asks.Jungkook just stares into Taehyung's eyes, like he was challenging the elder."Naughty boy," Taehyung says, making Jungkook's member twitch in excitement.Taehyung flips Jungkook over so he was on all fours, the vibrator still inside. "You know what I do with naughty boys like you?" Taehyung asks."P-Punish them?" Jungkook says, in between moans. The vibrations were getting more and more intense. It was hard for Jungkook to talk when he was in immense pleasure."That's the right answer," Taehyung smirks, spanking Jungkook on the ass. Jungkook jolts in surprise. Jungkook was confused at first, but weirdly, he wanted to be spanked more."I'm s-sorry for being a bad boy. Punish me, please... I need to learn my lesson," Jungkook manages to say. Jungkook doesn't believe how dirty he sounds right now, but he doesn't care.Taehyung goes in for another spank making Jungkook moan again. "M-More," Jungkook begs.Taehyung slaps again, leaving a slight tinge of pink on Jungkook's ass. Jungkook is surprised that he enjoys all of this."T-Tae.."Taehyung spanks again."I need you...""You need me? Need me to what?" Taehyung teases, knowing well what Jungkook wants."Fuck me," Jungkook says, he was done with the teasing. Jungkook wants Taehyung inside of him.Taehyung turns off the vibrator and pulls it out, making Jungkook whine not long after it was replaced with Taehyung's cock slamming into him, making Jungkook cry out Taehyung's name."S-Sorry babe, I didn't mean to.. did I hurt you?" Taehyung asks, breaking out of character."Fuck me now," Jungkook demands. Jungkook wants Taehyung to make sure he can't walk tomorrow. His reasoning? Obviously so he can stay in Taehyung's bed with him all day.So just like that, Taehyung was slamming in and out of Jungkook. His balls, slapping up against his ass. The sounds of sex filled up the room. The two were lost in a trance. Taehyung was hitting Jungkook's sweet spot, over and over again. He had become a pro at doing so, and Jungkook can't get enough of this feeling.Taehyung pulls out and makes Jungkook lie on his back. He positions his member in front of Jungkook's hole and enters in swiftly."Fuck.. hnn," Jungkook moans, trying to keep his eyes open."Look at me," Taehyung demands.Jungkook and Taehyung locked eyes, neither of them breaking eye contact while Taehyung fucked Jungkook. Taehyung leans in to kiss Jungkook. The kiss was all over the place as the two were a moaning mess.Jungkook reaches out to stroke himself, feeling that his high was close. "I-I...""Cum with me Jungkook," Taehyung says, pounding harder and harder.Jungkook cums between the two, white streaks flying over his abdomen, some reaching his face. His muscles clench around Taehyung's member as he orgasmed, causing the elder to roll his head back in pleasure. He cums inside of Jungkook, filling him up.He grabs Jungkook's hand and interlocks their fingers together while he rides out his orgasm.Jungkook finds it to be so sweet, even after all of that."Wow," Taehyung says, trying to catch his breath. "You came a lot."Jungkook quickly covers his face with his hand, embarrassed at how much he came.Taehyung moves his hand away, "Don't cover your beautiful face. Cumming a lot isn't bad. It means you enjoyed it." Taehyung smirks."Why do you have a vibrator?" Jungkook asks shyly."I bought it recently, thinking I could use it on you," Taehyung confesses."And you were the one asking for my kinks?! You are just as bad!" Jungkook accuses."Oh please Jungkook. You enjoyed it. A lot in fact," Taehyung smugly says.He isn't lying. Jungkook thought it was the most mind-blowing sex he has had so far. It just keeps getting better."Let me clean you up," Taehyung says, getting up off the bed to get some tissues.☕️Jungkook wakes up in Taehyung's arms. He wishes he could wake up like this every morning. He turns around to face Taehyung, waking up the boy.Taehyung's eyes slowly flutter open, "Good morning, baby.""Morning," Jungkook says, smiling brightly.Taehyung reaches out to bop Jungkook's nose, "You are so cute. I can't stress this enough."Jungkook pouts, "I can be manly too!""I'm sure you can," Taehyung chuckles.They hear a knock on the door startling the two boys."Shit! What's the time?" Taehyung asks.Jungkook looks at his phone on the bedside table, "Ten o'clock.""My dad is here," Taehyung says.Jungkook notices the change in Taehyung's mood. He doesn't seem too happy about it.☕️

----- CHAPTER BREAK -----

"Taehyung, my son," Jungkook hears outside the bedroom.Jungkook was still trying to find his clothes. He doesn't want to walk out looking like a mess in front of Taehyung's dad."You came early today. I was expecting you to fly in later on today," Taehyung says.That is some new information for Jungkook. Does Taehyung's father not live here in this city?"Sorry, I thought I might surprise you," Taehyung's father replies."I've got someone I want you to meet," Taehyung says, in a happy tone."What?" Jungkook whispers to himself. He is not ready. Jungkook quickly fixes his hair."Jungkook? Come out," Taehyung calls out.Jungkook was second thinking. Maybe he should just hide, but he can't make a bad first impression. He gathers up all the courage he had and walks out of the room."Um, hello. I'm Jungkook, Taehyung's frie-""Boyfriend," Taehyung intercepts, surprising Jungkook.Jungkook blushes. Taehyung wasn't ashamed of him and isn't hiding their relationship with his family. Jungkook's mother would probably have a fit if she found out her only son is gay."Boyfriend?" Taehyung's dad asks, looking at Jungkook's neck.Jungkook quickly covers his neck with his hand and curses mentally. He forgot about the hickey that Taehyung left him."I was planning a better time to introduce you two, but I guess this will do." Taehyung shrugs."I see. It's nice to meet you Jungkook," He says, reaching out to give Jungkook a firm handshake. "I'm sure he is taking good care of you.""A-Ah yes sir.," Jungkook replied, startled. He was honestly expecting a completely different reaction."So... Jungkook, what do you do?" He asks."I study law at university.""Do you now? A smart boy. Maybe you could knock some sense into Tae for me," He says, chuckling."What do you mean?" Jungkook asks, confused."Oh, it's nothing. I'm only joking with you," he smiles at Jungkook. "I should probably leave you two be. I came in at the wrong time it seems.""Oh, um... It was nice meeting you Mr.Kim." Jungkook bows."You should invite him over for dinner tonight," he says to Taehyung."You're talking with mum again?" Taehyung asks, confused."For now," he smiles smugly. "See you two tonight."Taehyung's dad bids his goodbyes and makes his way out of the apartment."That was better than I thought," Taehyung sighs."Your dad seems nice.""Keyword, seems," Taehyung snorts."You shouldn't talk bad about your family Tae," Jungkook scolds, "Family is family, and you should cherish that."Jungkook couldn't help but be jealous of other people who still had their father around."Okay, mum," Taehyung jokes, which gets him playfully slapped by Jungkook."Shit... don't you have work? Wait... I need to be in class!" Jungkook panics."Jungkook, it's a Saturday, chill." Taehyung laughs."Oh.." Jungkook had lost track of the days this week."We should go out on a little date," Taehyung suggests."We should go to the cafe." Jungkook jumps in excitement."What? You want to go to my workplace for a date?" Taehyung asks, confused."Yes. I happen to like that place. Don't judge me," Jungkook says in a matter of fact tone."Okay okay. Well, you should go have a shower and maybe cover up that hickey of yours, unless you want to display it for everyone to see, which I don't mind," Taehyung says, smirking.Jungkook's cheeks turn red, and he runs back into the room."Don't run away from me Jungkook~" Taehyung coos.☕️The two walk into the cafe hand in hand. The coffee scent attacked Jungkook's senses, waking the boy up, even though it was already midday by now."The lovebirds have arrived!" Jimin shouts across the cafe. He was never afraid to make a scene. The whole cafe turns to look at the two. Luckily it wasn't too busy today."Oh my god! Jungkook! Jimin made me clean the bathrooms, and now I want to die." Jiyeon wails walking out of the restrooms after hearing Jimin's announcement."Oh please. I had to do that every day until you came along and made my life so much easier." Jimin snorts."Enjoying the power while I'm not on shift are you?" Taehyung asks."You never had power over me," Jimin says, poking his tongue out childishly."I got to serve Professor Seokjin this morning," Jiyeon smugly says, "He came in even on his day off.""Yeah because I make the best coffee. Weekend crew for the win," Jimin says, flicking his non-existent long hair."Debatable," Taehyung snorts."You two sit down, and I will whip something up for you both," Jimin says, prancing back to the coffee machine.The couple heads over to Jungkook's regular booth."It feels so weird sitting here. I'm used to being on the other side of the counter serving you, rather than sitting here being served," Taehyung chuckles."Welcome to my world," Jungkook jokes. "What type of drink do you usually drink?""Jimin should know."Jungkook pouts, "Why can't you tell me?""You can try it when they bring over the drinks," Taehyung smiles cheekily."Fine." Jungkook rolls his eyes jokingly."Okay look, about dinner tonight," Taehyung adjusts his sitting posture and puts a serious face on, "You don't have to come if it makes you feel uncomfortable.""Why would I not want to come?" Jungkook asks, confused."You see, my mother is like a bit..." Taehyung trails off when Jiyeon walks over with their order."Sorry about the wait," Jiyeon apologises, "We got a bunch of orders right after yours."Jungkook looks over at the counter and notices the long line that had formed in such a short time."Thanks, Jiyeon," Taehyung reaches out to his coffee and hands it to Jungkook, "Try it."Jungkook grabs the coffee from Taehyung's hand and takes a sip. The caramel smell attacks his senses as the liquid flows into his mouth. He puts the coffee down and looks at Taehyung with a questioning look, "Is this what you made me when you found out I didn't like long blacks?""Bingo," Taehyung smiles, "You remembered."Of course, he remembers. He remembers every coffee Taehyung had made for him and cherishes every moment. It probably sounds weird, but it just sticks with him. "So you made your favourite drink for me?"Taehyung nods chuckling, "Looks like we have similar tastes in coffee."No wonder Jungkook loved the coffee so much since it was Taehyung's favourite. His coffee tasted bland compared to Taehyung's. "I think Jimin put vanilla in my coffee... that bitch."He looks at the little message written on the cup.
I know you loooove vanilla
"You really don't like the flavour vanilla?" Taehyung asks, laughing at Jungkook's reaction to the message."It's not that. It has an underlying meaning since it's from Jimin."Jimin surely loved teasing Jungkook whenever he gets the chance to do so.☕️"Who invited you?" Taehyung snickers at Minjae."Mother of course," Minjae smugly smiles, "Why? Do you have a problem with me being here?""No. Not at all and she's not your mother," Taehyung rolls his eyes."Hey, you said you would be civil," Jungkook whispers into Taehyung's ear.Taehyung relaxes his body and tries to keep calm,"Jungkook come with me. I will introduce you to my mother."They walk into the kitchen, "Hey mum, there is someone I want you to meet," Taehyung starts.The lady stops cutting vegetables and turns to face the two, "Who is this?""This is Jungkook," Taehyung motions his hands to Jungkook smiling cautiously."Ain't you a handsome young boy. It's good that you are making new friends Tae," She turns back to what she was doing before."No... he's my boyfriend," Taehyung continues, "We are dating."She stops cutting mid chop, frozen. She chuckles to herself, "That's funny Taehyung. Always trying to play pranks on me. You didn't get me this time.""No. I'm serious."Jungkook stands their awkwardly twiddling his fingers."Go sit down, boys, dinner will be ready soon."She is choosing to ignore what Taehyung had said. Taehyung pulls Jungkook out of the kitchen to his old bedroom. "Well, that also went better than I thought," Taehyung nervously chuckles."W-What? I don't know about that..." Jungkook looks down at his feet. What if she doesn't like him?"Trust me. It could have been way worse," Taehyung assures."Taehyung! Your brother and father are here, get the door!" They hear Taehyung's mother shout out."Urgh. Can't she get Minjae to do it?" Taehyung whines.☕️They were all sitting around the table, eating. Taehyung's father carried most of the conversations so far while Jungkook stayed out of them just observing. Jungkook was sitting between Minjae and Taehyung, across from him was Taehyung's mother, father and Seokjin. Seokjin always looked over at Jungkook with a comforting smile."Minjae darling, have some more food." Tae's mum gets up to fill Minjae's plate with more food."Thanks, mum, I like the new dye job by the way," Minjae compliments Tae's mother's hair."Well, aren't you just a sweetie," she coos, "Tae, bring the wine," she demands.Jungkook watches Tae get up. He can see the bias his mother has against Taehyung, and it low key bothers Jungkook."Did you know Jungkook studies law and Seokjin here teaches him,""So you met Tae through Minjae since you guys go to University together?" She asks."Uh-" Jungkook starts but is cut off by Minjae."Yes. We are good friends as well.""Ah! Any friend of Minjae's is a friend of mine," she smiles sweetly.Minjae leans in to whisper into Jungkook's ear, "It's best that she doesn't know the real reason. Trust me."Jungkook gulps and nods. "Yeah, we did a group project together and became close."Taehyung returns, opening up the wine bottle and pouring everyone a glass."Tae you should be more like Jungkook and Minjae. Aspiring to be someone successful like your brother," she says."Mum! Tae can do whatever makes him happy," Seokjin butts in."It's not about what makes you happy. The world doesn't work that way. You need a good income to live a proper life. All my friends keep asking me what Tae is doing, and I have to lie each time," She snaps.Taehyung doesn't seem to be phased by the words. He just sits back down and smiles. Jungkook grabs his hand under the table for comfort."When will you get a girlfriend Tae," She says bitterly."Mum!" Seokjin raises his voice."What? At least he can't waste his good looks if he decides not to go to University."Yep. Taehyung mother seems to hate Jungkook. Jungkook tries to hold back his tears because he is a weak bitch."Now that I've had a better look at you Jungkook, I think you are perfect for Tae," His father says, to Jungkook's surprise.He never thought the scary-looking father would be accepting, and the nice-looking mother wouldn't be."What rubbish are you talking about?" Tae's mother snorts."They are dating. Didn't you hear?" The father smirks."No, they are not.""Yes, we are," Taehyung stands up, making everyone look at him."Honey, you think you like him, but it's just a phase. My son can't be gay.""Mum! Can't you just behave for once?" Seokjin puts his cutlery onto the table angrily."You can't call yourself a mother," Taehyung bitterly says.Jungkook tugs on Taehyung's arm trying to get him to sit back down, "Tae...""Let them be. You don't want to make Tae's mother your enemy," Minjae whispers into Jungkook's ear."Sit back down and shut that foul mouth of yours. I should have never let you live out on your own. None of this would have happened," she snickers.Jungkook looks around at everyone's reaction. Taehyung's dad seemed to be amused at the scene unfolding in front of him, while Seokjin looks like he wants to throw daggers with his eyes. Minjae, on the other hand, is staying out of it. Jungkook had never felt this awkward in his entire life."You know what, fuck you." Taehyung flips his plate and grabs Jungkook's wrist, "We are leaving.""Taehyung no," Seokjin stands up abruptly. "Mother! Look at what you did.""Son, sit back down," his dad demands.Tae's mum just sits there, refusing to look at the two who were leaving."Tae, are you sure you want to storm out just like this?" Jungkook asks, worried."Don't worry about them Jungkook. She has no power over me anymore. All I care about is being with you," Taehyung says, in a shaky voice.They leave his mothers house without turning back.☕️

----- CHAPTER BREAK -----

It's been two days since the dinner at Taehyung's mum's house. So far, Taehyung had been acting like it never happened and it was making Jungkook worry. He was wondering if this is a usual occurrence with his family."Hey Jimin, do you know much about Taehyung's family?" Jungkook asks."Not really. I probably know as much as you do," Jimin says, packing his bag for class, "Though, his mother is a bit of a nutcase."Jungkook ears perk up, "You have met the mother?"Jimin nods, "When his mother found out he was working at the cafe, she would come in and demand Tae to stop working there. She even threatened Namjoon. She gave up after a couple of days, though.""I ended up meeting her the other night, and I think she hates me," Jungkook pouts."I wouldn't worry too much about it Jungkook. As long as Taehyung loves you, it shouldn't matter," Jimin says, giving Jungkook a sympathetic look, "Also, how the hell could someone hate you!""Thanks, Jimin," Jungkook chuckles, "They ended up having a big fight, and we left early. Professor Seokjin and Minjae were there too.""Why was Minjae there?" Jimin asks, confused, "Oh wait, I forgot he was close to the family.""Yeah, I have to see them both in class today. I also met the father.""What is his father like?" Jimin asks."Better than the mother. I'm not sure if he likes me or not, but he didn't flip out when Taehyung told him we were dating.""What? He took you to meet the parents as his boyfriend?!" Jimin asks, shocked."Well actually the father surprise visited Taehyung while I was there and he invited me to dinner. I wasn't expecting Tae to confirm the relationship to his parents straight up," Jungkook blushes."Wow. Props to Tae, he has balls. I would be so nervous about telling my parents. They would probably kill me if they found out their son is gay," Jimin says, shivering at the thought."My mum still asks me if I've been meeting girls," Jungkook laughs."My grandparents set up dates for me, and they are the most embarrassing awkward dates ever. Each time they do it, I have to explain to the girl that I don't swing that way," Jimin says, laughing along with Jungkook.They both sigh in unison."I wish it weren't so hard just to be yourself," Jungkook says."Me too Jungkook, me too," Jimin sympathises."I guess I should get ready for class." Jungkook stands up from his bed and heads to the shower, "See you at dance practice."☕️"Okay everyone, I will be handing out the mock exams today for you guys to practice. You need to be ready for the real thing," Seokjin announces to the class, "Yes it's an open book exam but trust me, you ain't going to be going through every page of your textbook during the exam. You simply won't have time."Seokjin walks down through the middle of the class handing out the mock exam, "If you don't read your cases and get a good understanding of the texts, you will fail. I suggest sticky notes and tabs, highlighting the main information, so you don't spend the whole exam flipping through the textbook," he stops at Jungkook, "Talk to me after class," he says, with a straight face.The whole class erupted into chatter out of curiosity. Jungkook looks back at Seokjin confused, not sure what he did wrong but he just walked off handing out the rest of the mock exams."What did you do? How do I do the same?" Jiyeon asks."I honestly have no clue what I did," Jungkook replies, confused about the whole situation."You are so lucky," Jiyeon sighs, then looks over at Seokjin, "I want some alone time with him.""I think I know what it's about," Minjae butts in, "Jungkook, I also want to see you after if you don't mind?""When did I get so popular?" Jungkook jokes."I haven't gotten a chance to talk to you lately, also I have some things to ask," he explains."Why don't you ask now then?" Jiyeon suggests."It's a private matter," Minjae snorts."Okay, class dismissed. Study hard for your exams, email me if you have any questions," Seokjin announces.Jiyeon groans, "Why did I think it was a good idea to start working when exams are coming up.""I mean, the money part of it sounds like a pretty good idea," Jungkook replies."I will wait for you in the cafeteria," Jiyeon says, packing up her stuff.Jungkook watches everyone leave the classroom as he sits there on his seat patiently. He waits for the multiple students who stayed back to ask Seokjin questions about the exam."Sorry for making you wait long," Seokjin apologises, "I wanted to apologise on my family's behalf. Their behaviour was unacceptable the other night, and I was so embarrassed. I'm sorry I couldn't do anything to stop it from happening.""No no, you don't have to apologise. It was out of your control. You were the only one standing up for Tae, and I think he appreciated that.""You think so? He hasn't messaged me since, and I was a bit worried. They haven't fought since the time Tae ran away from home," Seokjin sighs, "Is he okay now?""Honestly, I don't know since he has been acting like the dinner never happened. He is just his normal self," Jungkook replies."He has a habit of bottling up his emotions," Seokjin frowns."Maybe I should try talking to him?""I think that would be a good idea," Seokjin smiles softly, "by the way, have you given any thought about going to the career counsellor?""I've been so busy that I completely forgot," Jungkook replies, "maybe I should go in today.""It's a suggestion. I think it might be of good use to you. Doesn't hurt to try." ☕️ "I forgot my money, that's why," Yeonjun pouts.Yeonjun had been trying to pick at Jimin's food for the past 10 minutes."You can have my food," Minjae offers."No one wants your dirty food," Jimin scoffs, handing over his food to Yeonjun to his surprise."What's wrong with my food?" Minjae asks, confused."You could have poisoned it, like those chocolates you gave to Jungkook ages ago that I had to throw out," Jimin rolls his eyes."You threw those out?!" Minjae stands up like he was about to throw hands but sits back down, "Why would I put poison in something I'm already eating?""I mean... I will take your food still," Yeonjun shamelessly mumbles while eating Jimin's food."Don't give in to it," Jimin groans."Can I have some too? It looks delicious," Hoseok interrupts."Not you too!" Jimin whines."It's okay Jimin, you still have me," Jiyeon laughs, "Though, I can't believe you would throw chocolates away! You could have given them to me," she pouts.Jungkook was in deep thought. He was debating whether or not to text Taehyung. He stares at his phone. Every time he typed something, he would just delete it right after. He decides not to text since he would be at work anyway. He must drop by after uni to check on him."Earth to Jungkook?" Jimin waves his hand in front of Jungkook's face breaking him out of his daze."Huh?" Jungkook looks around only to see everyone's eyes on him, "What happened?""We all wanted to know whether you swallow or spit," Minjae explains."What the hell?! What were you all talking about that lead you guys to this question?" Jungkook asks, perplexed over the situation."You did zone out for a long time," Yeonjun giggles.Jungkook looks at the time and quickly stands up, "Shit. I told Seokjin I would go to the job counsellor today.""You're leaving already?" Hoseok asks."If I want to make it on time to dance, yes. Bye guys," Jungkook quickly shovels down the rest of his food and rushes off.He stood outside the counsellor's office for a good two minutes before gaining the courage to knock."Come in," says an awfully, familiar voice.Jungkook opens the door and is taken aback. Professor Yoongi is a Job Counselor? He never pictured it in him."Name?" He asks."Jungkook..." Jungkook replies awkwardly. He doesn't remember him?"Thought so. My memory isn't failing me I guess," he leans back in his chair, "You are one of the law kids right? What brings you here?""Well, Professor Seokjin suggested seeing you," Jungkook replies, sitting across from Yoongi."You don't like law?" Yoongi asks."It's not that I don't like what I'm studying... It's just that I'm not that passionate about it. At first, I was excited about starting the year, and as the semester went by, the more I felt lost.""Simple. Drop law." Yoongi deadpans."W-What?! It's not that easy."Yoongi clicks his tongue, "You kids need to think with logic rather than beating around the bush. If you were to come here, it means that you don't like what you do, so you are here to find an alternative right?""Uh..""Just think about it. Do you see yourself doing law for the rest of your life? Does the thought of it make you miserable?""I don't know how to answer that," Jungkook chuckles, in disbelief.He was surprised at how straight forward Yoongi was. Though, he does have a point. Jungkook doesn't want to be doing this for the rest of his life."Well, what do you enjoy doing? Are you doing anything other than law here? like any club activities?" Yoongi asks."Well, I joined the dance club.""Do you enjoy dancing?""Yes, I do. It takes my mind off everything," Jungkook replies."You should consider changing your major and pursuing dance," Yoongi suggests."It's not that easy. My mother has expectations of me, and I don't see a future in dance... employment wise," Jungkook explains.Yoongi nods and gets out a note pad writing down something unknown to Jungkook, "There are many pathways you can take. If you have the talent, you can go pretty far.""I don't know," Jungkook looks down at his hands in his lap."You know what, you think about it tonight and come back tomorrow," he sits up straight, looking Jungkook in the eyes, "Tomorrow, I will sit down with you and go through all your possible options.""O-Okay..." Jungkook agrees."That's all for today, Kook. See you tomorrow," Yoongi dismisses the boy.Jungkook walks down the hallway in deep thought until he bumps into Minjae."Funny seeing you here," Minjae smirks."Sometimes I swear you are following me," Jungkook accuses."Pure coincidence Jungkook. Now that I have you alone though, I was wondering how Taehyung was doing the other night?" he asks."You're worried about him? You should have spoken up the other night," Jungkook scolds Minjae."Well, you didn't say anything either," Minjae points out, taking Jungkook off guard.It's true. Jungkook just sat there and watched the scene unfold. I pit of guilt started to build up in Jungkook's stomach."Don't feel bad about it, though. I had no idea what to say at that moment, either. Seokjin lectured her when you two left. He was so angry. I've never seen Seokjin angry before. After that, we finished eating in silence," Minjae sighs."I feel like it was all my fault that they argued in the first place," Jungkook pouts."No. It's not your fault Jungkook. Taehyung had been continuously telling her that he was gay for the last two years, but she always refused to acknowledge it or change the topic right away.""Then why did she act like it as the first time she heard about it?""She is very good at acting like she never heard it," Minjae replies, "There was a time where she thought Tae and I were dating because we spent so much time together. She banned me from coming over back then, scared that I would turn her son gay. That all changed when Tae got his first girlfriend," Minjae says, leaning his body against a locker."He has had a girlfriend before?" Jungkook asks, confused, "He never told me about girls before...""Oh... I was under the impression that he has told you everything," Minjae assumes.Jungkook goes back into deep thought. He can't help but feel hurt that Taehyung had not told him about stuff like this and he had to hear it from a 3rd party source. There are still so many things he doesn't know. ☕️

----- CHAPTER BREAK -----

Jungkook was sitting down next to Jimin and Yeonjun in the dance studio. Hoseok gathered everyone from the dance club to do auditions for the solo slot in the showcase. Jimin had convinced Hoseok to open up the slot for everyone to audition for instead of just the three of them, so it didn't cause a divide between the boys. Hoseok and Hyuna, being the leaders of the dance club, already get a solo performance each."Okay so basically what we will do is have a mini dance-off. Something like what we did at the beginning of the semester," Hyuna explains to everyone."Will we get to pick the song?" Yeonjun asks."No. It will be random," Hyuna flicks her hair, "So you will have to be good at freestyling.""How long will we have to dance for?" a girl named Mijoo asks."1 minute only and then I will call for the next person to come out," Hyuna explains."We brought in an extraordinary person to judge for an unbiased outcome," Hoeseok says."Let me introduce you guys to last years winner, Lee Taemin!" Hyuna announces while clapping.Everyone cheers as he walks in."Oh my god..." Yeonjun gasps, starstruck."You know him?" Jungkook whispers to Yeonjun."I know of him. I watched his stage last year," Yeonjun replies.He bows at everyone and sits on his chair next to Hoseok and Hyuna. He did look like a celebrity."So, who wants to go first?" Hoseok asks.Yeonjun raised his hand before Hoseok even finished his sentence, jumping out from his spot."Whoa, someone is eager," Jimin chuckles.The beat kicks in and Yeonjun moves to the centre of the room. The song was perfect to pop and lock to, so that was exactly what he did. He moves to the beat with such smooth precision making Jungkook sit there in awe. He knew Yeonjun was a great dancer, but today he seemed to be giving it his all.The next girl to take over did a contemporary routine. Each move looked like it was so elegantly planned even though it was freestyle."You were great Yeonjun!" Jungkook says as Yeonjun sits back down next to him."God it felt great up there in front of Taemin," Yeonjun grins, "Did you see how he smiled?!""I was too mesmerised to notice," Jungkook grins back."Get ready for me to slay," Jimin sassily says, standing up readying himself for his turn.Beyonce's 'Crazy In Love' starts to play and Jimin struts out to the centre and drops it down to the floor, giving us some floor choreography making everyone in the room cheer and chant.He then incorporates whacking into his dance, making everyone cheer even more, fabulously finishing it off by pointing to the next dancer to come out."Now that's how you do it, boys," Jimin chuckles sitting back down."You were fire!" Yeonjun claps excitedly.The energy in the room was insane; everyone seemed to be having the time of their lives. At this moment, Jungkook had forgotten about all the hardships he is going through at the moment. All that mattered was this very moment.He stands up, ready for his turn. The beat kicks in, the song was Missy Elliots 'Work It'. He starts to dance to the beat, letting the music take control of his body. He was having the time of his life. People began to chant Jungkook's name, giving Jungkook that extra spark he needed to finish his dance-off grandly.Everyone applauds as Jungkook walks back to where Jimin and Yeonjun were sitting. He watches the rest of the dancers and starts cheering and clapping along with everyone else. He starts to feel sad for enjoying this too much. He knows this can only be temporary, but he wants more."Stunning display from everyone," Taemin claps, "I have decided on the winner. Drum roll please."Everyone starts to hit the ground repeatedly, anticipating the announcement."Park Jimin! Congratulations," Taemin announces, inviting Jimin up.Jimin looks at Yeonjun and Jungkook in shock."You did it!" Yeonjun claps, happily.Jimin walks up and bows at everyone, "Thank you. I won't disappoint you all."Everyone cheers for Jimin. He was loved in the dance community. Jungkook was jealous of Jimin. He looks so happy following his passion, where Jungkook is trapped in his law degree. It was a bittersweet feeling.☕️Jungkook walks into the cafe with Jimin. Yeonjun had some errands to run so he couldn't come. Jimin wanted to celebrate his win, but he had work after club activities."Thanks for walking me over Jungkook. I will be clocking on now," Jimin says, smiling at Jungkook.He watches Jimin walk out into the back. He then walks up to the counter to an excited looking Jiyeon."So what did Seokjin have to say to you?" Jiyeon asks, without greeting the boy."I would like a caramel latte thanks," Jungkook chose to ignore Jiyeon's question."Hey! I asked you a question," she whines.Jungkook leans in to whisper, "It's about Taehyung.""Oh," Jiyeon looks over at Taehyung, making coffee then back to Jungkook, "Tell me after?"Jungkook nods."Okay~ Caramel latte for Jungkook coming up," she says, writing his order on the cup.Jungkook walks over to Taehyung, "hey.""Hey," he replies, smiling up at Jungkook."Is everything alright?" Jungkook asks."Yeah. Why wouldn't it be?" Taehyung asks, confused."You have been acting as nothing happened since the other night," Jungkook explains.Taehyung just smiles back at Jungkook. He looks like he wants to say something but is refraining from doing so."You can tell me, Tae...""Not here," Taehyung says, "meet me after my shift."Taehyung hands Jungkook his coffee and a cookie."I've missed these cookies!" Jungkook's eyes light up."All I can say now is that I love you," Taehyung smiles sweetly.Jungkook felt like he lost all feeling in his knees."I love you too," Jungkook mutters back, taking the coffee and heading to his usual seat.Jungkook waited till Taehyung had finished his shift. He ended up having two more coffees. Jungkook had become addicted to coffee like it was a drug. He blames a certain someone for his addiction.Taehyung taps Jungkook on the shoulder, breaking him out of his thoughts, "shall we go?" He asks."Where are you taking me?" Jungkook asks."A place I go to think," Taehyung answers.They end up walking to an abandoned-looking building in the middle of town."Um?" Jungkook was unsure if where they were going was safe."Trust me," Taehyung says."Are we allowed in here?" Jungkook asks as they step through the rubble on the ground."Do you trust me?" Taehyung asks to clarify."Yes," Jungkook responds, putting all faith in Taehyung.They walk up to five flights of stairs until they reach the rooftop. Jungkook looks around and is astonished by the view."You can see the entire city from up here!""Thought you might like it here," Taehyung smiles."How did you find this place?" Jungkook asks."When I used to run away from home, I would come into the city and walk around for hours, not knowing what to do. I ended up coming across this building and decided to explore a bit. So whenever I fought with mum, I would escape to here," Taehyung confesses."You don't get along with her?""That night was the first time we fought, the massive fight that got me kicked out of the house," Taehyung sighs, "I slept here for almost a week but didn't tell anyone where I was. Seokjin had to contact the police to find me.""I'm sorry to hear..." Jungkook pouts."No it's okay, it's the past.""It's not right that your mother treats you that way," Jungkook says, frustrated."In her mind, she is doing what she thinks is best for me. She doesn't know any other way, so I don't blame her. I thought she was progressively getting better, but that night she went back to her old ways," Taehyung explains.Jungkook goes in for a hug, pulling the elder closer to him. They embrace each other for a good minute before breaking apart."Have you told your parents that you're gay?" Taehyung asks."No... I've been too afraid to tell my mum. She always talks about how excited she is to have grandchildren and is always asking if I've met a girl that I like... I don't want to break her heart with the news," Jungkook sighs."What about your father?""My father passed away when I was very young. I only know of him from the stories my mother told me," Jungkook says."I'm sorry, Jungkook. I didn't know..." Taehyung apologises."No, it's okay. I don't have an emotional attachment to my father," Jungkook assures Taehyung."Life is hard, isn't it?" Taehyung chuckles."Yeah... it sure is," Jungkook agrees, "by the way, you never told me you had a girlfriend.""Oh," Taehyung chuckles, "in high school? Yeah. Back then, I was trying to come to terms with my sexuality. In the process, I ended up hurting a very good friend of mine.""Did you guys try and... you know?" Jungkook shyly asks."Well we tried, but I couldn't get it up. That is why we broke up," Taehyung laughs.Jungkook is happy that Taehyung was smiling genuinely again. It seemed like he needed this heart to heart moment to clear his clouded mind. Jungkook did feel bad for Taehyung, but he decided that he only wants to make his life happier.The two watch the sunset together. It was now dark, and Taehyung suggests that they should get going."This was nice. Thanks for bringing me here," Jungkook grins."You're the first person I brought up here," Taehyung says, before kissing Jungkook's cheek."Well, I am special," Jungkook cheekily replies."Yes, Jungkook, you are," Taehyung smiles, smiling with his signature box smile, "I love you for that."☕️

----- CHAPTER BREAK -----

"I'm still not sure if dropping law is a good idea... My mother would have a fit," Jungkook says, looking down at his hands."And you want what your mother wants or what you want?" Yoongi asks."Um..." Jungkook thinks about it. It's pretty evident that he wants to do dance, but he loves his mother with all his heart, and he never wants to disappoint her. "My mother means a lot to me so...""That's not answering the question," Yoongi lazily says."Well...""Look, if you don't want to change majors, you could just stay in law," Yoongi shrugs, "Your choice."Jungkook just sits there in silence."Think for yourself Jungkook. What do you really want?" Yoongi leans back in his chair."Maybe you're right.""Of course I'm right," Yoongi chuckles. "Anyways, for now, you should just focus on your exams coming up. Good luck.""Thanks, Professor Yoongi.""Please, just call me Yoongi," he smiles. That was the first time Jungkook had seen the man smile."Okay, Yoongi." Jungkook smiles back.☕️Jungkook walks into the dance room to Jimin practising his routine. He sits down and watches Jimin dance in awe. Jimin did have the talent backing up his dance major. It makes Jungkook want to strive to do better.The song was Shinhwa's 'Perfect Man'. It has an infectious melody and a funky 90's beat that was perfect for dancing. Jimin had already learned most of the choreography in the span of one day."What do you think?" Jimin asks, flicking his bangs away from his eyes.Jungkook compliments Jimin, "It was terrific! You make me want to learn the dance too.""I can teach you?" Jimin suggests."What? No, you don't have to," Jungkook protests."I want to. Get up and start your stretches," Jimin demands.The two spent hours in the dance room learning the dance. Jungkook found that Jimin was an excellent teacher. It was so easy to follow along to Jimin's instructions."Wow. You're a quick learner Jungkook," Jimin says.They were sprawled on the floor, panting and sweating."Thanks," Jungkook smiles at Jimin, "What are you going to do after uni?""I thought of many options," Jimin starts, "I want to become a famous choreographer. But if that doesn't work out, I could be a dancer for hire or teach dance classes.""I think you will do well with whatever you decide." Jungkook stands up to stretch his back. "I still have no clue on what I'm doing with my life.""It takes time Jungkook. You are still young. You have so much ahead of you. Relax a little bit," Jimin says, in a comforting tone.Jungkook sighs, "I guess you are right."He should just focus on the now and stop worrying about the future so much.☕️"How is my favourite person doing today?" Taehyung asks while he makes coffee."Hey," Jungkook shyly waves, "I ended up learning a new dance with Jimin today.""I still haven't seen you dance yet. You should show me sometime," Taehyung smiles sweetly."Yeah, about that. I want to invite you to our showcase at the end of the month.""I would love to come," Taehyung eagerly accepts Jungkook's offer."Jimin has a solo stage too," Jungkook adds."Wouldn't have doubted. He sure is a good dancer.""You've seen Jimin dance before?" Jungkook asks, surprised."Yeah. We've been clubbing a few times.""I didn't think you were that close with Jimin.""I've known him for years now," Taehyung chuckles.Jungkook never thought about it before. He knew they were coworkers, but he always thought it ended at that. Jungkook can't help but be curious about their relationship. Did they go clubbing? Why hasn't Taehyung taken him clubbing yet? Also, what the hell, Jimin never took him clubbing before either. Not that he likes clubbing though... he had never been."You have never taken me clubbing before," Jungkook pouts."Didn't think you would be into it," Taehyung shrugs. "You don't seem like that type of person.""Are you calling me boring?" Jungkook acts hurt."Of course not. You're a fascinating person Jungkook," Taehyung replies. Nice save."I've never been," Jungkook confesses."Maybe Jimin and I can take you? Since you like dancing, maybe you will like it," Taehyung suggests."Count me in!" Jiyeon comes walking out from the back."How long were you there waiting to come out?" Taehyung teases."Hey! For your information, I was crushing boxes to put in the recycling bin since I've done everything on the checklist you gave me," Jiyeon pouts."You can come," Jungkook smiles."Yay! I love clubbing!" Jiyeon claps out of pure joy. "I need a break from all these assignments.""Might as well invite all your friends," Taehyung suggests."Tonight is free entry for university students," Jiyeon says."But it's a school night..." Jungkook states."That's the point. A little partying didn't hurt anyone. Besides, we don't have class till the afternoon tomorrow," Jiyeon explains."Last time I went out drinking on a work night it didn't end well," Taehyung chuckles."Toughen up Taehyung. You should invite your brother!" She suggests."I don't think inviting our teacher is a good idea," Jungkook laughs."Worth a shot," Jiyeon laughs along.☕️"Jimin! Did you read my texts?" Jungkook asks, barging into their shared room."What? No?" Jimin looks at his phone for the messages."We are going clubbing tonight! Get ready.""C-Clubbing? I didn't know you were into that Jungkook. Being a law boy and all," Jimin chuckles."Shut up and help me out. I don't know what to wear," Jungkook snaps.Jimin shoots up and goes through Jungkook's closet, picking out all the possible options and lying them down on Jungkook's bed."Option one, classy and sleek," Jimin points at the first outfit on the left.Jungkook shakes his head."Option two, eye-popping and slutty," Jimin points at the outfit in the middle."I don't think I'm confident enough to wear see-through mesh to a club," Jungkook says."Alright, looks like we have, tint of sexy and innocence but low key just wants to fuck," Jimin claps."What are you wearing then?" Jungkook asks."Glad you asked," Jimin says, as he walks to his closet, flinging the doors wide open. He digs through his clothes to find leather pants and a plain black shirt to match."Jesus. Those pants though," Jungkook tilts his head cutely."They make my ass look fine, and I mean FINE," Jimin emphasises. "Now I will just wear this leather jacket to top it off.""Okay, you have your shower while I do my face," Jungkook says, walking towards the mirror on his closet door."I've taught you well," Jimin smiles. He then heads off into the shower.Jungkook moisturises his face before putting on a light coat of foundation. The key of his look is to make it look natural. He adds a little eyeliner to make his eyes more defined and stand out. Jimin had taught him how to apply to makeup so he thought now would be the perfect time to test it out. He stares back into the mirror admiring the work he did."Perfect," Jungkook says to himself, proud of his work.Jimin was still in the shower, so now all he had to do was wait. He hasn't spoken to his mother in a while, so he decides to dial her number. He wants to invite her to the showcase."Hey mum, how are things?" Jungkook asks over the phone the moment he hears her pick up the phone."Jungkook honey! You called me for once," she jokes. "It's lonely here without you. I miss you.""I miss you too.""Are you studying well for your exams?" She asks."Yeah... I called because I wanted to invite you to something," Jungkook nervously says."Oh? What is it?"Jungkook doesn't know if she would approve of him being in a dance club. She expects me to be on top of my studies cause what she used to say was 'study hard now so you can play hard after'."I've been doing this dance thing... I joined a club, and we are holding a showcase at the end of this month. Thought I would let you know in case you wanted to come.""That's great honey! You must be doing well in your studies if you joined a dance club. I didn't know you liked to dance. I would love to come!"Jimin walks out from the bathroom drying his hair. He looks at Jungkook and mouths 'who is it'.Jungkook replies mouthing 'mum' back at Jimin which gets him a sound of acknowledgement in return."I will send you the dates after," Jungkook says while trying to gather his stuff to go out. "I have to go now. Love you, mum.""Love you too, honey."Jungkook smiles to himself as he ends the call. He had put in a lot of thought on what Yoongi had told him earlier on today. He wants to show his mum what his passion is and pray that she approves of it. Maybe if she sees him up on stage, she will have a change of heart and be more lenient."I'm ready," Jimin announces."Alright, let's go."☕️The two walk into the club side by side—the wait in line was horrendous. They let all the girls skip the line as well. Jungkook felt that was unfair. He had Jimin to keep him company though.As they walk through the club, Jungkook looks around trying to spot Taehyung. The club music was hitting him already. The thumping of the bass sent shivers down his spine. He wants to find the dance floor and let loose already.He looks over to the bar and sees Taehyung standing next to Minjae ordering drinks. Jungkook didn't think Taehyung and Minjae were on good terms."Jungkook! Funny seeing you here," Minjae calls out."Who invited him?" Jimin asks."He just happened to here," Taehyung answers."Yeah, spot Taehyung here at the bar, and we had a little heart to heart," Minjae says, thanking the bartender for the drink he was given."Want a drink?" Taehyung asks Jungkook."What is it that you have?" Jungkook asks."Redbull and vodka," Taehyung replies."That honestly sounds like two things that shouldn't be mixed. That's like asking for death," Jimin laughs."Can I have a sip?" Jungkook politely asks."Sure," Taehyung hands Jungkook the glass.Jungkook takes a sip of the beverage and surprisingly didn't mind the taste of it. "Can you order me one of those?""Sure can," Taehyung smiles. He then signals the waiter. "Do you want something too?" He asks Jimin."Oh! I mean this might sound hella hypocritical but, can I have the same?" Jimin awkwardly laughs.Taehyung laughs, "You can't turn down alcohol Jimin, can't you?""I'm totally not an alcoholic," Jimin defends himself very badly."Hey guys," Jiyeon walks over in a stunning tight black dress."Damn Jiyeon, you're actually hot," Minjae says."Who invited you?" Jiyeon snaps, "And thanks, I've always been hot honestly.""I asked the same thing!" Jimin says, "but yeah, Jiyeon; you look stunning!""Thank you," Jiyeon flicks her hair, "finally, people are noticing.""I'll buy you a drink," Minjae offers."As long as you don't spike it," Jiyeon throws shade."Don't worry. It's a peace offering," Minjae says."I'll take it. Can't turn down free alcohol," Jiyeon giggles."Right?! Oh my god, Jiyeon. Why haven't we gone clubbing together before?" Jimin asks."Well now we know," Jiyeon smiles happily. "Anyways, why don't we hit the dance floor?!""I'm down for that," Jungkook says then looks over to Jimin and Taehyung smiling, "You guys going to join?""Are you really asking me, Jungkook?" Jimin rolls his eyes."I will come with your drinks. You guys go ahead," Taehyung says.Jimin, Jungkook and Jiyeon all head off to the dance floor. They formed a little circle between them and started dancing."Damn Jiyeon, you have some good moves. Why haven't you joined the dance club?" Jimin asks."It's something I have considered," Jiyeon replies.Minjae and Taehyung appear with drinks."Don't drop the alcohol," Taehyung warns everyone, handing Jungkook and Jimin their drinks.The night goes on, and all five of them had quite a lot of alcohol go through their systems.Jimin had requested a song to the DJ awhile back, and Jungkook had been wondering what song he chose. That's when a familiar tune started to play."No way," Jungkook says in disbelief."Yes way," Jimin laughs, "Thought we could show off what we practised."The two start to dance in sync, and slowly everyone started to form a circle around the two as they hit every move with shocking precision. Jungkook was surprised since they were both a little drunk at this point, but maybe that just what they needed to fuel their passion.Everyone was cheering and singing along. Jungkook felt like he was in his element. As the song ends, he runs up and gives Jimin a big hug."Whoa, Jungkook. I love you too, man," Jimin pats his back."Hey hey, hands off my man," Taehyung jokes."Tae! Did you see me?" Jungkook asks, releasing his grip from Jimin."I did," Taehyung grunts."What's wrong?" Jungkook tilts hid head in confusion.Taehyung motions down to his slightly visible erection. To which Jungkook replies with an 'oh' sound.Taehyung leans in and whispers into Jungkook's ear, "Since you created this problem, you have to solve it."A chill went down Jungkook's spine as he gulps. "Where?"Taehyung pulls him out of the crowd to one of the private booths in the club. Taehyung nods at the security guard as they walk past him."How did you get access to this place?" Jungkook asks."Minjae's cousin owns the club," Taehyung nonchalantly replies.Taehyung pushes Jungkook down onto the velvet couch and straddles the boy, placing kisses on his neck."You look great today baby," Taehyung compliments."I tried to look good for you," Jungkook seductively says.Taehyung slowly unbuttons Jungkook's shirt revealing his smooth collar bones. He leans down to give Jungkook a hickey right on the collarbone. He licks it after the job was done, admiring his work. "I mark you as mine.""Let me please you," Jungkook pleads.Taehyung stands up and unbuckles his belt, pulling down on his pants revealing his rock, hard member."Suck," Taehyung demands.Jungkook complies almost instantly, taking Taehyung's member whole. He sucks and licks, making sure to maximise the pleasure. He seemed to be doing an excellent job since Taehyung had become a moaning mess, tugging onto Jungkook's hair.Jungkook releases Taehyung's member causing a plop sound and asks, "Did I turn you on when I danced?""You were too hot, baby. How could I not get turned on? The way you moved your body..." Taehyung moans cut off his sentence as Jungkook engulfs his member again.Jungkook sucks harder and faster, using his hands as well for extra friction. He tried hard not to gag because Taehyung was quite large."I can't take it anymore..." Taehyung moans, grabbing Jungkook's head and thrusting in and out of his mouth.Jungkook tries his hardest not to choke. His member is aching for attention due to the neglect. The way Taehyung looked when thrusting turned Jungkook on even more. Taehyung was experiencing intense pleasure due to Jungkook and Jungkook couldn't be any happier."Jungkook... I'm gonna-" Taehyung releases his load into Jungkook's mouth surprising the boy. Jungkook nether the less, keeps his composure, letting the elder ride out his orgasm.Taehyung pulls out and caresses Jungkook's cheek. Jungkook ends up swallowing his seed and looking up at the elder, licking his lips."God you are beautiful Jungkook," Taehyung says, leaning down to unbutton Jungkook's jeans, pulling down to reveal Jungkook's hard member."Y-You don't have to," Jungkook says shyly."I have to return the favour," Taehyung insists, licking the tip of Jungkook's member before engulfing it in one go.Taehyung bobs up and down, causing the younger to moan in pleasure. "Tae..."Taehyung moans, sending vibrations through Jungkook's member. Jungkook was nearing his limit."Tae, I want to cum..." Jungkook whines.Taehyung stops sucking and starts to pump Jungkook's member with his hand. He leans over to kiss Jungkook—the kiss is full of lust—Jungkook could taste the alcohol in Taehyung's mouth. The drink was making Jungkook feel things.Taehyung fastens the pace sending Jungkook over the edge. Jungkook moans while he releases over his stomach."You look like a beautiful mess," Taehyung smirks.Jungkook was still coming down from his high. He watches Taehyung grab some tissues, "Here, let me help clean you up."Jungkook smiles. Taehyung is so sweet. He is always considerate even after they do stuff. Jungkook appreciates it. He is lucky he has a boyfriend who cares about him.Jungkook tries to make himself presentable before heading back out with Taehyung. He hopes that no one questions where they have been.He looks over at the booth where Jimin, Jiyeon and Minjae were sitting. He spots Minjae sitting across from Jiyeon and Jimin. What he sees makes his eyes widen in shock. Jimin and Jiyeon were making out."I always thought Jimin was gay," Taehyung chuckles."I think he just forgot?" Jungkook questions himself.Minjae seemed pretty amused, filming the two."Guys?" Taehyung asks, making Jimin and Jiyeon break apart in shock."W-What are you doing?!" Jiyeon gasps."You made a move first!" Jimin accuses.They were both beyond drunk."I dared them to kiss, and they got too carried away," Minjae chuckles, "and I recorded it all too.""Why you little-" Jimin lunges himself over the table, only for Taehyung to stop him.Minjae laughs harder, "It's fine. It won't go anywhere," Minjae assures."If I were capable right now, I would kill you," Jiyeon threatens, making everyone laugh. Jiyeon trying to be scary was just cute."We should all crash at Tae's house," Minjae suggests."Using me as a hotel again?" Taehyung laughs."Of course not," Minjae smirks."I think it's a good idea," Jiyeon says."We can all squeeze in his bed," Minjae suggests."No way. I'm sleeping on the couch," Jiyeon says."Also, where did you two go off to?" Minjae asks, smirking."Went to the toilet," Jungkook says, blushing furiously."With Tae?" Jiyeon asks, confused."Had a bad stomach," Taehyung lies. "Anyways, shall we go?"They all stumble their way into a maxi taxi outside the venue. Tonight was a good night.☕️

----- CHAPTER BREAK -----

Three weeks later
 Jungkook looks out to the audience from backstage nervously. "There are so many people...""Wow! It's a full house," Yeonjun's eyes light up.Jungkook couldn't calm his nerves. His mother was out there, waiting to see his performance—not to mention all his friends—he can see Taehyung sitting with the entire cafe crew as well. He prays he doesn't make a mistake today."We are up right after the girls perform," Jimin says.Jimin seemed so composed and calm. Yeonjun looks like he wants to jump out there right now, while Jungkook just wants to sink into the ground. Jungkook is excited, but his nerves seemed like to be overpowering his excitement."Ladies and gentlemen, thank you all for coming. We have a special show prepared for you today," the announcer starts, "let me introduce you to our first performer. She is one of our leaders. One of our most exhilarating performers. Someone who can drop it down low, Hyuna!"The audience cheered as Hyuna walks onto the stage and gets into position. The beat to Beyoncé's 'Yoncé' kicks in and Hyuna snaps into character. The moves were swift and sexy. Hyuna was so captivating as a dancer. The song changed over to 'Partition' by the same artist. She sensually lowers herself to the floor, causing the audience to cheer loudly. She was giving floorography and hairography to the cheering audience."Damn, Hyuna is good," Yeonjun fanboys from the side."Do you think our performance is good enough to compare?" Jimin asks, worried. Jimin was a perfectionist and always critical over his performance."Are you crazy? We worked so hard on our choreography, and even Hyuna herself complimented it and bought us chicken," Yeonjun assures Jimin.The three watch each performance with awe. It was great seeing the production all come together."You guys are up next," Hoseok notifies them."Oh, god. I'm going to vomit," Jungkook says, trying not to gag."It's okay Jungkook," Jimin pats his back, "pretend that we are still in our practise room and do it how we rehearsed. We know the dance back to front, so you have nothing to worry about."Jungkook breathes in and out. Jimin's words comforted Jungkook enough to not breakdown. He was now ready to go out there.The three of them walk onto the stage, getting into formation. At this moment, Jungkook couldn't hear anything but his breathing. Everything he experienced since moving here flashed before his eyes.The beat starts and Jungkook lets his body take over from muscle memory. He can do this. They've done it over a thousand times.Their dance moves coordinate with each other seamlessly and flawlessly. The crowd was in awe over the boy's synchronisation. Their cheers gave a boost to Jungkook's ego. He was no longer nervous. He was giving it his all.They kneel onto the ground and grab the bottom of their shirts, lifting them with their teeth while body rolling. The crowd goes wild over the display of skin. That dance move was Yeonjun's idea, and it looked like it was the fan favourite for obvious reasons.Jungkook kneels to Yeonjun & Jimin's left side, while Jimin does a backflip into the air. Yeonjun pushes Jimin in mid-air, causing Jimin to land his flip on the other side of Jungkook. The audience cheers again, even louder than before.Jungkook's heart was now racing. He felt like he was in his element. He was born to perform.Jungkook could see on the side of his vision, Jimin wincing in pain. Jungkook was now worried, but the show had to go on. Jimin danced to his fullest even though he was in pain.They end the performance to a standing ovation—the three bow to the audience.Jungkook noticed a limp in Jimin's walk and put his arm around him for support as they walked backstage."Jimin! Are you okay? What happened?" Yeonjun asks, worried."When I landed the backflip, I kind of rolled my ankle," Jimin sheepishly smiles, "you guys did amazing.""Let me go get some ice," Yeonjun says, running off to fetch some ice."You should have stopped dancing when you hurt yourself," Jungkook scolds."I couldn't do that to you guys. Besides, I didn't feel the pain properly until the performance ended. The adrenaline rush I had while performing made me forget about the pain," Jimin explains."How are you going to do your solo stage now?" Jungkook asks:Jimin was not in the best condition to continue. They might have to cut the performance."What happened?!" Hoseok comes rushing over. Hoseok evaluates the situation in front of him and curses, "We don't have anyone to fill in for you now. It looks bad."They sit in silence for a minute, and Yeonjun comes running back with ice."Maybe we can give him painkillers?" Yeonjun suggests."No. We don't want to further the injury," Hoseok says. "If only we had someone who could take your place...""We do," Jimin mutters under his breath."Sorry?" Hoseok asks, surprised."We do have someone," Jimin repeats."Who is it?" Yeonjun asks.Jimin looks up to Jungkook and smiles, "Jungkook.""W-What?!" Jungkook shouts unexpectedly."Jungkook?" Hoseok asks, confused."Yes, Jungkook. He knows the dance. We learned it together," Jimin explains."No! I can't do this... I don't know the dance that well," Jungkook protests, "besides, I can't just steal the spotlight from you. You worked so hard on this performance. I don't want to take the credit for it.""You dance it just as well as me Jungkook. Stop doubting yourself," Jimin scolds."I can't..." Jungkook suddenly started getting nervous all over again."Jungkook... Do it for me. I want you to take my place. Fate has put this into your hands," Jimin pleads."I-I..." Jungkook was at a loss for words."That's settled. Jungkook, get ready to go out," Hoseok makes the final decision."B-But," Jungkook tries to protest again, but Jimin stops him by holding his hand with both of his."Please do this for me," Jimin asks again.Jungkook takes a deep breath and nods. He then goes over to the stylists to change his outfit and get a touch up before heading to stage. He is going over the dance routine in his head over and over again, praying he doesn't mess it up on stage. He needs Taehyung here to calm his nerves. His touch... his lips... Jungkook shakes the thoughts out of his head."Jungkook? Are you ready?" Yeonjun asks, "Hoseok is calling for you.""I'm coming!" Jungkook rushes out. He straightens his jacket and takes a deep breath."You're on next," Hoseok tells Jungkook."Good luck Jungkook. I will be back here rooting for you," Jimin says, sweetly.Jungkook smiles back at Jimin. It was now his turn to stand on stage alone. He was given the cue to head onto stage. He hesitated for a second, then went out. He spots his mother in the audience, anticipating what he was going to do next.Jungkook gulps as 'Perfect Man' by Shinhwa starts. He closes his eyes and rolls his head back, taking one deep breath before he starts to dance.The way Jungkook danced, captivated the audience. The cheers were all Jungkook needed to continue. He smirks slightly as he hits each dance move with precision. Jimin's words were echoing in the back of his mind. He was doing this for his best friend. Jimin was more than just a best friend. He was family. He hopes that he is doing the boy proud.The feeling of the music running through his veins and the bass rumbling beneath him was truly exhilarating."Jungkook!" he hears a familiar voice out in the distance. This voice is close to Jungkook's heart. He spots Taehyung out in the crowd, clapping and cheering for him.He ends the routine and hears the audience applaud and shout at the top of their lungs. Jungkook almost tears up right there. He was receiving so much love that he felt overwhelmed with emotions—Jungkook bows before heading backstage. Jimin and Yeonjun both give Jungkook a huge hug."You were amazing!" Yeonjun exclaims."Thank you for doing this for me," Jimin smiles widely.Soon after the showcase was finished, family and friends all came backstage to congratulate the boys after a successful performance.Jungkook spots Taehyung walking into their dressing room and runs up to the boy hugging him."You did amazing babe," Taehyung says, embracing the boy and leaning in to give him a passionate kiss, in which Jungkook happily gave into."Thank you for coming," Jungkook happily grins."How could I miss this?""Jungkook?" he hears his mother's voice."Mum?" Jungkook breaks apart from Taehyung and gives his mum a big hug."That was amazing honey. Why did you not enter the talent shows back in high school? My baby is so talented," she compliments."Thank you so much for coming, mum. It means the world to me," Jungkook tears up.She takes a good look at Jungkook and wipes a tear out from under his eye. "You have grown up so much," she sniffles.Taehyung was just there, standing awkwardly to the side, watching the sweet moment unfold."By the way, who is this dashing you man right here?" she asks, "You two seemed to be quite close.'"Hi, my name is Taehyung. A pleasure to meet you, Mrs Jeon," Taehyung introduces himself, bowing."Nice to meet you too, Taehyung. I'm glad my boy has been making friends here. I worried for him back at home."A man dressed in a suit approaches Jungkook, "Sorry to interrupt you guys. My name is Lee Hyukjae, and I am a recruiter from a world-class dance academy organisation. We have campuses all around the world. I am here to offer you a scholarship since we were impressed by your dance ability.""Oh.. wow," Jungkook was speechless."I don't think we are interested. But thanks for the offer." She turns to Jungkook, "Wow, Jungkook! People are wanting to scout you.""W-What?" Jungkook looks at his mother surprised.He just got offered a scholarship to a world-class dance academy, and his mother declined the offer on his behalf. Jungkook frowns. He thought after the performance; his mother would understand what his true passion was."That's unfortunate to hear," Hyukjae says, looking disappointed. "If you change your mind, here is my business card. Just give me a call.""Thank you," Jungkook retrieves the business card, bowing at the elder.He then takes his leave."We should go out for dinner. Just me and you Jungkook," the mother suggests. "Before I head back home, I want to spend some time with my boy.☕️Jungkook and his mother arrive at a nice Italian restaurant in town. They are lead to their table by the waiter and sat down, looking at the menu."You can get anything honey, my treat," she says."Can I have spaghetti and a glass of water," he tells the waiter."And can I get gnocchi with a side of salad," she orders, "Oh and a glass of red wine."The waiter writes down the order and heads off to the kitchen."So, that boy. Taehyung? What type of relationship do you have with him?" She asks, making Jungkook choke on his saliva."W-What?" Jungkook was startled."What is he to you?""A good friend..." Jungkook mutters."Is that all? It seemed like that hug was a little more than platonic," she curiously states."Well, um..." Jungkook's palms start to sweat."It's okay Jungkook. If you are gay," she says, trying to calm the boy's nerves. Jungkook doesn't fool her."It is?" Jungkook's voice cracks."I do want my own grandchildren and all, but love is love."Jungkook's eyes widen in shock, "How did you know?""I've always suspected it. Ever since you were a little boy. I had a hard time coming to terms with it. But now that I've thought it through thoroughly, I've decided to be open-minded," she explains.Jungkook was at a loss for words. So many thoughts were running through his mind right now. His mother accepts his sexuality, and it mind blows him."So, am I right?" She asks again."We have been seeing each other since the beginning of the semester," Jungkook confesses."He is quite the handsome boy," she gushes, making Jungkook blush."Yeah... He is great," Jungkook shyly smiles to himself.Their food comes out, and they start to eat. Jungkook didn't have an appetite, even after the colossal day he had. He should be happy. He just came out to his mother who accepts that he is gay and he had a successful showcase. But there was one more looming problem that has not been solved.Jungkook was just playing with his food, and it caught his mother's attention, "What's wrong honey?""I was wondering why you are against the idea of me getting a scholarship for dance..." Jungkook lets out."Jungkook... You have already decided what you were studying. Ever since the beginning of high school, you had been chasing the goal of getting into law school. I won't let you throw that all away now over dance," she explains."B-But... I chose law because-""How about you finish your degree. By the end of it, you can choose whether or not you still want to go to a dance school, and I doubt that would be the case," she sternly says."But mum," Jungkook pleads."No, buts," she cuts Jungkook off.Jungkook frowns and puts down his fork."Eat your food, honey. You shouldn't waste food."Jungkook sighs and picks his fork up again, attempting to finish his food. Jungkook was determined to prove his mother wrong.☕️

----- CHAPTER BREAK -----

Exams were finally over, and Jungkook can finally kick back and relax. He wants to leave everything behind and forget about all his troubles. Just for a short while at least.His entire friend group decided to organise a trip together to Yeonjun's family summer house."Once again, who invited Minjae?" Jimin asks, annoyed.They had been in the car for almost two hours now."I asked Yeonjun, and he said yes," Minjae nonchalantly says.Taehyung was driving Seokjin's car. They were trailing behind Hoseok who was driving Yeonjun and his boyfriend."You should have gone in Hoseok's car," Jungkook whines, "then I wouldn't have had to sit in the middle for two hours."Minjae turns to the back and smirks cheekily, "I scored front seat too.""You're the worst," Jungkook pouts."You needed to sit in the middle as a buffer between Jimin and Jiyeon. I don't think they can control their urges around each other," Minjae teases."I was under the influence!" Jiyeon whines."And I'm gay!" Jimin adds."For a gay boy, you seemed to enjoy that kiss," Minjae chuckles.Taehyung laughs, "Minjae, let them be.""Okay, Mr No Fun," Minjae scoffs."I still can't believe that I'm sitting in Seokjin's car. The smell is so-" Jiyeon takes a deep breath and lets it out, "sophisticated."Jungkook giggles to himself. Jungkook lost his virginity in this very car.They pull up to the summer house. Jungkook looks at the home, excited to get out and explore."The house is so cute!" Jiyeon exclaims."Finally!" Jimin was the first to exit the car, collapsing onto the ground. "I've missed you, ground.""Looks like you guys didn't get lost after all," Hoseok says, walking over to their car."I'm not that directionally challenged," Taehyung frowns, "I just made sure you didn't leave my sight.""I heard this place is close to the beach," Hoseok says, looking up at the house.Jungkook thinks about the last time he went to the beach. It is a very fond memory of his."I forgot my sunblock though," Hoseok sighs."Don't worry! I brought extra," Jiyeon says, almost falling out of the car, "I also brought a huge umbrella.""Our saviour," Hoseok sighs in relief.Yeonjun walks over with a familiar-looking boy. That must be Beomgyu, Jungkook thinks."Hey guys, this is my boyfriend," Yeonjun introduces to everyone."Hello everyone, I'm Beomgyu. Nice to meet you all," he bows."Beomgyu..." Jungkook mutters under his breath. He takes a good look at his face and suddenly remembers. This was the guy who gave Minjae his number and the guy's room that Minjae walked into, at his dorm. He then looks at Minjae, then back to Beomgyu. Why were they pretending they had never met?"Beomgyu is in your law class, remember?" Yeonjun tells Jungkook."We haven't been formally introduced to each other until now," Beomgyu speaks up."We've definitely seen each other in class though," Jungkook says, in which Beomgyu nods, agreeing with Jungkook.Jungkook was determined to find out what sort of relationship Minjae has with Beomgyu, for Yeonjun's sake."I loved your performance at the showcase by the way. You too Jimin," Beomgyu compliments Jimin and Jungkook."Thanks," Jimin smiles, happy to take any compliment."How is your ankle?" Yeonjun asks."It's much better now. I still have to wear bandages around it though. Now I can get around without my crutches," Jimin replies."Now he just limps around like he got it up the ass," Minjae chuckles."Just because I'm a cripple, doesn't mean you can get away with teasing me," Jimin threatens Minjae, readying his fists."Okay!" Yeonjun cuts between them, "time to show you guys the house.They all follow Yeonjun into the house. The house had four bedrooms and two bathrooms. They had to decide now who was sleeping where."Everyone pick a pair, and we all get a room to share," Yeonjun announces.Everyone gets into pairs. Jungkook and Taehyung, Yeonjun and Beomgyu, Hoseok and Minjae, Jiyeon and Jimin.While everyone unloaded the car and unpacked, Jungkook spent time with Jimin, pretending that he was looking after him to get out of doing work."You know, I'm not that crippled." Jimin laughs."I'm just worried about you Jimin." Jungkook pouts."I head that you came out to your mother.""Yeah. It was a hectic day." Jungkook chuckles awkwardly, "right after that; I told her that I wanted to pursue dance.""Jesus Jungkook. She just found out her son is gay and you put that bomb on her right away," Jimin laughs, "At least give her a little break between announcements. You were pushing your luck there.""Wasn't thinking about that," Jungkook laughs awkwardly, "she told me that I have to finish my law degree first then decide whether or not I still want it.""That's ages away though," Jimin frowns."She doubts that after I finish my degree that I would want to dance still.""I heard you got scouted too.""That should have been your offer..." Jungkook tears up, "it's not fair. It was meant to be your turn to shine, and I took it away from you.""You're wrong, Jungkook. My injury stopped me from performing," Jimin explains, "It isn't your fault.""Jungkook, are you being a cry baby again?" Yeonjun kneels in front of the two."No," Jungkook pouts, wiping his tears."We can forget about all that here," Yeonjun stands back up, "what are we going to do for food though...""Taehyung is a good cook," Jungkook sniffles."You think he will cook for everyone tonight?" Yeonjun asks."I'm sure of it!" Jungkook stands up, excited.He runs off to find where Taehyung is.☕️After much protest, Taehyung had finally agreed to cook tonight. They are now at the supermarket, shopping for tonight's dinner."Jungkook we don't need any more packets of chips," Taehyung sighs.Jungkook pouts holding two more bags of chips close to his chest. There were already four different packets of chips in the trolley."It is one for each person!" Jungkook defends himself, putting them in the trolley, despite Taehyung's protest."I don't want to end up buying the whole store," Taehyung complains. Jungkook had been prancing around grabbing anything he liked off the shelf and putting it in the trolley."This is the last one! I promise," Jungkook says, going in for a kiss. They share a short brief kiss, and that was all Taehyung needed to stop protesting."You're so manipulative," Taehyung scoffs.Jungkook looks over to the next aisle and spots Beomgyu in deep thought."Isn't that Beomgyu?" Taehyung asks."What is he looking at?" Jungkook squints."I think he is holding condoms," Taehyung says, "We should probably buy some too."Jungkook hits Taehyung playfully on the arm."Hey! Don't act like you don't want it," Taehyung winces in pain.Jungkook walks up to Beomgyu and taps the boy on the shoulder, causing him to jump in fright, quickly hiding what he was holding behind his back."Hey, Beomgyu!" Jungkook smiles at the boy, "Funny seeing you here.""U-Uh yeah... hey Jungkook..." Beomgyu found it hard to look Jungkook directly into his eyes."What do you have behind you?" Jungkook asks curiously, obviously knowing what it is."Just some snacks..." Beomgyu lies.Jungkook looks at the shelf they were standing next to then back to Beomgyu."Right... So, do you know Minjae?" Jungkook asks, getting straight to the point."Minjae? The guy that was in your car?" Beomgyu asks."Yeah, him," Jungkook confirms."I haven't seen him before," Beomgyu says."But he is in our class, isn't he?" Jungkook interrogates."He is? I didn't know that." Beomgyu shrugs nervously."I see," Jungkook turns back to Taehyung, "We should buy some condoms too babe,"Beomgyu chokes on his saliva.Jungkook doesn't know why he was so bitchy. As a law student himself, he should know that someone is innocent until proven guilty. But Yeonjun is someone dear to him. He must get down to the bottom of this.Taehyung awkwardly laughs at the tension between Jungkook and Beomgyu.☕️Jungkook watches Taehyung prepare the ingredients curiously. Taehyung seemed to be nervous."Have you cooked this dish before?" Jungkook asks."Nope..." Taehyung gulps."Wow, you are so experimental," Jungkook gushes."Yeah, that's the word."Jungkook was beyond excited to taste Taehyung's cooking. Seokjin and Taehyung are so talented. Jungkook can't even cook instant noodles."You should teach me how to cook sometime," Jungkook suggests."You should ask Seokjin since he is a teacher," Taehyung sassily replies.Jungkook rolls his eyes, "I'll let you be. I'm going to go see what the others are doing."He walks over to Jimin and Yeonjun who were playing video games."Where is everyone else?" Jungkook asks."Don't know," Jimin shrugs.Jungkook thinks that if Beomgyu wasn't with Yeonjun... Then he must be with Minjae. He begins his search for the boy. Jungkook felt like he is getting somewhere with his suspicion.He heads straight to Minjae's shared room with Hoseok, thinking it would be the perfect place. He hears voices behind the door and listens in."I miss you too, baby," he hears a muffled voice.Jungkook slams the door open only to see a surprised Hoseok on the phone."J-Jungkook?" Hoseok looks at Jungkook in confusion."Sorry..." Jungkook apologises, slowly closing the door.Jungkook didn't know Hoseok was in a relationship. His cheeks were burning from embarrassment."Maybe Yeonjun's room," Jungkook mutters to himself, making his way down the hallway.Once again, he hears voices."You can't tell him about it," a voice that seemed to be Beomgyu's."Why not?" Minjae replies."Because it's embarrassing!" Beomgyu shouts, "Here, we pretend we don't know each other, and that is final.""There is no fun in that," Minjae snorts."I've caught you!" Jungkook announces, swinging the door wide open."It's not what it looks like!" Beomgyu looked like he was on the verge of tears."Oh, hi Jungkook," Minjae nonchalantly greets."Fuck you Minjae! Everything is a joke to you," Beomgyu storms out of the room crying."W-What?" Minjae stutters, "I didn't do anything."Jungkook runs after Beomgyu and follows him all the way out into the forest behind the house. He spots Beomgyu sitting on a rock crying."B-Beomgyu?" Jungkook calls out."Go away!" He shouts back"Beomgyu let's just talk... Please," Jungkook sits down next to Beomgyu awkwardly."I'm telling you... It's not what it looks like," Beomgyu says again."You told me you didn't know Minjae... Why did you lie?" Jungkook asks."Because I'm embarrassed," Beomgyu says, "Minjae is my tutor...""Tutor? In law class?""No...""Then what is it?" Jungkook asks."Sex..."Jungkook's eyes widen in shock."We never slept together. I wouldn't do that to Yeonjun..." Beomgyu explains."I don't get it..." Jungkook was beyond confused."Yeonjun has told me that he was sick of being top all the time, so I asked Minjae to help me out. I wanted someone who was experienced to show me how it was done..." Beomgyu explains."How would you do that without engaging in sexual activity?" Jungkook asks."He would show me porn videos... One time he even made me watch him have sex with another guy," Beomgyu sniffles, trying to wipe away his tears. "I never wanted Yeonjun to know.""I-I..." Jungkook doesn't know what to say."I'm sorry... I can see why it looks bad to you," Beomgyu looks at his feet, "The first time I tried topping, it ended horribly...""Don't be sorry. I'm sorry for judging your character without actually getting to know you first," Jungkook apologises."Please don't tell anyone," Beomgyu pleads."Don't worry. Your secret will be safe with me," Jungkook assures.It is weird, but he remembers what Yeonjun told him about the last time Beomgyu tried to top and felt terrible for the boy."Thanks, Jungkook. Shall we start over again?" He smiles up at Jungkook.Jungkook wipes a tear from underneath Beomgyu's eye and gives the younger a hug, "I think that's a good idea. Let's head back together. Tae must have finished dinner by now."The two head back to the house, arms linked. They walk into the lounge room, and all eyes were on them."Ummm... Since when were you close to Beomgyu?" Jiyeon asks."We had some bonding time," Jungkook says, smiling."I'm going to wash my face in the bathroom," Beomgyu whispers into Jungkook's ear.Jungkook nods and unlinks his arm, "Jiyeon, let's set the table together."☕️

----- CHAPTER BREAK -----

"Food is ready," Taehyung announces."About time," Yeonjun whines.Jungkook could smell something burning and wonders if Taehyung accidentally burnt the chicken."Come sit with me Beomgyu," Jungkook offers.Beomgyu nods and follows Jungkook to the table, sitting down next to him.Yeonjun looks over to the two curiously. "It seems like you two are getting along well."Jungkook smiles in reply."Thanks for setting the table Jiyeon," Taehyung says."No problem," she says, sitting down next to Jungkook."Hey! I helped too," Jungkook whines."Alright! I'm so hyped for this," Hoseok says, sitting down at the table.Minjae chuckles as he sits. "This should be interesting.""I didn't know Taehyung could cook?" Jimin says, happily sitting down.Taehyung brings out a few dishes of food and tells everyone to dig in. He sits down cautiously, watching everyone grab some food.There was silence. Taehyung looked nervous.Jungkook takes a bite out of the chicken and cringes at how rubbery it tasted. Jungkook was confused. He looks up at Taehyung for an answer.Taehyung looks down at his plate, trying to avoid eye contact."Umm guys?" Jiyeon looks up. "Why is everyone so quiet?""Because no one wants to offend Taehyung," Minjae nonchalantly says."Thanks for dinner Taehyung," Beomgyu politely says, forcing down the food with a smile."I-It was nothing..." Taehyung smiles back at Beomgyu."I'm sorry, I can't eat anymore," Hoseok says apologetically."It's okay guys... You don't have to eat it," Taehyung says, pushing his plate aside."Thank god," Minjae says, pushing his plate away from him, "I didn't want to keep the act up.""Minjae! Don't be so harsh," Jiyeon shouts."What?" Minjae asks, putting his hands up."We can just order some food instead," Taehyung suggests. "I won't be upset if you don't eat it guys. I, myself don't want to eat it.""Well if that's the case, I want pizza!" Jimin says, reaching out to his phone to order.Everyone starts to say what they want from the pizza place. Taehyung looked happy, but Jungkook could feel that he wasn't.☕️They were all eating pizza that finally arrived, but Taehyung seemed to have wandered off. Jungkook excuses himself and goes to search for Taehyung."Hello?" Jungkook calls out, opening the door to their shared room. He spots Taehyung sitting on the bed, staring into space."Hey," Taehyung says, not bothering to look up at Jungkook."What's wrong?" Jungkook asks, sitting down next to Taehyung on the bed. He wraps his hand around Taehyung's waist and rests his head on Taehyung's shoulder."Nothing.""I know that's a lie," Jungkook pries. "What happened?""I... just feel like I disappointed you," Taehyung says, in a sad tone. "I lied... I'm not good at cooking. Not even close."He continues, "that night you came over, and we had spaghetti, I had Seokjin come over beforehand to make the food," he confesses.Jungkook couldn't help but giggle. "That's so cute Tae."Taehyung blushes. "I honestly didn't think I would have to cook ever again after that," he nervously says. "I just wanted to impress you.""Whether you were a good cook or not, I would have still fallen for you."Taehyung smiles, feeling a little better now."I know what I can do to make you feel better," Jungkook seductively says, straddling Taehyung."Shouldn't we be out there with everyone?" Taehyung asks, trying hard not to get turned on."We can be quick.""You're so naughty," Taehyung says, chuckling.Jungkook removes his shirt and helps Taehyung remove his. He leans down into a kiss, slowly grinding his hips back and forth.Taehyung roams his hands up Jungkook's body, appreciating every inch of it. Their erections were begging for release. Jungkook could feel Taehyung's member through his pants.Jungkook gets up, off of Taehyung and opens the bedside drawer to retrieve a bottle of lube. He then removes the rest of his clothes and demands Taehyung to do the same."Whoa, we are going a bit fast, aren't we?" Taehyung chuckles."As I said, we can be quick," Jungkook explains, smirking.He squeezes some lube onto his hand and lathers Taehyung's penis with it, pumping up and down, making the boy moan in pleasure."You like that, huh?" Jungkook asks. He doesn't know where the confidence came from.He straddles Taehyung again lowering himself down onto Taehyung's penis. He teases by smearing his member around his entrance, not giving him entrance quite yet."Babe, you need to prep yourself more," Taehyung says, worried that it might hurt."I like it a little rough," Jungkook confesses. Taehyung looked surprised over his statement.Jungkook lowers himself slowly down onto Taehyung's member, moaning as it breaks through his walls, slowly filling him up."Fuck," Taehyung curses. "You're so tight."Jungkook moans as he fully engulfs Taehyung's member, slowly rising and back down. He was riding Taehyung at a slow but pleasurable pace."You're so big. I never get used to your size," Jungkook says, slowly picking up the pace."It's like the first time every time," Taehyung says, smirking. He starts to thrust upwards, making Jungkook cry out in pleasure, hitting that wonderful bundle of nerves that makes Jungkook see stars."Don't move," Jungkook demands, "I want to be in control.""Are you trying to dom?" Taehyung asks, smirking."Shut up and let me do it," Jungkook snaps, slapping Taehyung's thigh."Ooh, kinky," Taehyung growls.Jungkook slowly rises and slams back down, making Taehyung jolt in pleasure."I said no moving," Jungkook warns."Punish me then," Taehyung cheekily says.Jungkook reaches out to pinch Taehyung's nipples, making him moan a little too loudly."Didn't know you were into nipple play," Jungkook teases."Fuck, Jungkook," Taehyung pants.Jungkook leans in for a kiss, and Taehyung can't hold it in anymore. He cradles Jungkook and starts to thrust upwards, making the boy cry out in pleasure."Scream my name you naughty boy," Taehyung demands.And on command, Jungkook does precisely that. It was so shameless, but Jungkook didn't care. It felt too good to care.Taehyung flips their positions so he could fuck Jungkook harder and deeper."You've been very naughty." Taehyung smirks."I-I'm sorry... Fuck me harder," Jungkook pleads."I'm close baby," Taehyung says, reaching out to pump Jungkook's member.Without warning, Jungkook releases all over his stomach, tightening his walls around Taehyung, causing him to reach the end of no return. Taehyung pulls out and releases over Jungkook, moaning his name over and over again."That was pretty good," Jungkook admits."No, it was amazing," Taehyung says, leaning down to give Jungkook a passionate kiss.☕️Jungkook was finding it hard to fall asleep. He looks at Taehyung peacefully sleeping in front of him and smiles. He was so lucky to have him.He hears a bang outside and decides to investigate. He hears voices as he opens the door."Look, he won't know a thing. It can be our little secret," Minjae says as Jungkook creeps carefully. He can't help but eavesdrop."I told you not to talk to me!" Beomgyu whisper-shouts back."But I need your help," Minjae protests."This would be breaking all the rules we placed," Beomgyu angrily says."I can't help it. When you are angry, it turns me on.""You are sick," Beomgyu scowls. "You told me you wouldn't do this and now you suddenly find me attractive?""No one has to know," Minjae presses on."I have a boyfriend!" Beomgyu whisper-shouts again."You don't have to do anything! It won't break any of the rules. You just have to watch... please."Jungkook hears some ruffling and decides to make his presence clear."What are you doing, Minjae?" Jungkook asks, walking towards the two.Beomgyu pushes Minjae aside and runs up to hug Jungkook."Did he do anything to you?" Jungkook asks, worried."No... I-""Goddammit Beomgyu," Minjae whines."What is wrong with you, Minjae?" Jungkook asks, anger in his tone."It's not what it looks like Jungkook," Minjae says, trying to defend himself.Suddenly Minjae breaks down into tears, startling the two boys."Umm?" Beomgyu says, confused."I-I..." Minjae sobs, "I'm so sorry. I just can't help it."Beomgyu and Jungkook just stare at Minjae, too shocked to say anything."I have a problem... I can't help myself," Minjae cries out. "My sexual urges are so strong that it hurts. I can't even live my life normally without all these dark thoughts roaming my mind.""Minjae..." Jungkook tries to calm the boy. "I think you need to see someone about this."☕️
morning
"It was frightening at first, but then he just broke down," Jungkook explains to Taehyung. He brings up what he researched on his phone, "I did some research, and I think he has some hypersexuality disorder or like compulsive sexual behaviour.""What does it say?" Taehyung asks.It was the next morning, and Jungkook was telling Taehyung about what happened last night.Jungkook starts to read, "Compulsive sexual behaviour is sometimes called hypersexuality, hypersexuality disorder or sexual addiction. It's an excessive preoccupation with sexual fantasies, urges or behaviours that is difficult to control, causes you distress, or negatively affects your health, job, relationships or other parts of your life.""Wow. That does sound serious," Taehyung says.Jungkook continues, "Compulsive sexual behaviour may involve a variety of commonly enjoyable sexual experiences. Examples include masturbation, cybersex, multiple sexual partners, use of pornography, or paying for sex. When these sexual behaviours become a major focus in your life, are difficult to control, and are disruptive or harmful to you or others, they may be considered compulsive sexual behaviour.""Do you think Minjae is aware of this?" Taehyung asks."He knows he has a problem, but he hasn't seen anyone about it," Jungkook says in deep thought. "It says here; no matter what it's called or the exact nature of the behaviour, untreated compulsive sexual behaviour can damage your self-esteem, relationships, career, health and other people. But with treatment and self-help, you can learn to manage compulsive sexual behaviour.""This does explain a lot of the things he has done in the past that are questionable. I know he is a good person, but sometimes he does the most questionable things," Taehyung says, getting out of bed to open the blinds. "Honestly, I still can't forgive him for what he did to you at Jiyeon's party.""I guess we should head down and have breakfast with everyone," Jungkook suggests, trying to change the topic.Taehyung nods in agreement. "I'm going to have a shower first. You go ahead."☕️

----- CHAPTER BREAK -----

Jungkook walks into the kitchen to Yeonjun feeding, Beomgyu some of his food."Hi, Jungkook!" Beomgyu greets with a mouthful of food."You shouldn't speak with your mouth full," Yeonjun scolds, making the other roll his eyes."These sausages are so good," Beomgyu says."Who made breakfast?" Jungkook asks."Hoseok," Yeonjun replies, "he already left though. He went fishing with Jimin. Your food is there. You just have to take the foil off.""Where is Taehyung?" Beomgyu asks."In the shower," Jungkook answers, "where is everyone else?""Minjae and Jiyeon are probably still asleep. Jiyeon isn't a morning person." Yeonjun answers."Minjae is awake though," Beomgyu speaks up. "Hoseok told me he was on the phone with someone.""You know what that means?" Yeonjun cheekily grins."What?" Beomgyu and Jungkook say in unison."Double date!" Yeonjun claps."Double date?" Taehyung asks, wandering into the room, sitting down next to Jungkook. He reaches out to take some of Jungkook's food. His hair was still damp from the shower."Hey! Yours is in the foil up there," Jungkook says, pouting."Yours tastes better," Taehyung claims, poking his tongue out."I think a double date would be fun. Where would we go?" Beomgyu asks."There is this delicious brunch cafe near the wharf. We can have brunch food for lunch then have ice cream? Or go to the beach?" Yeonjun suggests."What about the others though?" Jungkook asks."They should be fine. We can do something with them tonight," Yeonjun assures."If that's the case, I'm going to have a shower and then we can go," Jungkook says, standing up."I'm eating the rest of your food," Taehyung says, in which Jungkook replies by signalling him the ok.He walks back to his room and notices Minjae's door was open. Curious, he decided to peak in. Minjae was lying on his bed, staring at the ceiling."You know it's rude to walk in without knocking," Minjae nonchalantly says."S-Sorry," Jungkook apologises, feeling guilty. "Was just wondering how you were doing...""I'm fine.""Are you really?" Jungkook edges.There was a long pause. It looked like Minjae was contemplating whether or not to talk to Jungkook about his problems."You can tell me anything," Jungkook says, trying to ease the tension."Honestly, I feel like a horrible person," Minjae confesses. "I don't understand why you are still nice to me after all I've done.""Minjae...""I just want to be normal, like everyone else." Minjae sighs. "I don't know how to solve this problem. Even right now, I feel the need to release my sexual frustrations. You have no idea how hard it is not to think about doing things with you when you are here in the same room as me."Jungkook opens his mouth to say something but then closes it. He doesn't know what to do in this situation."Sex is like caffeine. I'm addicted to it like a drug.""Have you tried getting help before?" Jungkook asks."It's not something I go announcing to people Jungkook. My pride won't let me get help...""I think it's something you have to do," Jungkook says."I know..."Jungkook stands there in silence for a good minute, not knowing what to say to cheer him up. He wants to help Minjae, but he doesn't know how to, other than tell him to see a therapist."Thanks for hearing me out Jungkook." Minjae smiles softly at the boy. "You have always been so kind to me when no one else was. You are different. It means a lot to me.""I know deep down that you are a good person. Well, that is what I like to believe," Jungkook finally breaks his silence."You know what? I'm going to take your advice and get help. I'm going to do this for you. You, myself and everyone else. I want to be a better person," Minjae confesses."I admire that you came to terms with it. You can always talk to me if you need someone to talk to," Jungkook offers."I will never forget your kindness Jungkook. One day I will return the favour. When I'm in a better mindset," Minjae says, chuckling."Do you want to come out for lunch with us?" Jungkook offers."No, thanks. I'm fine. I think I need some time alone," Minjae replies."Alright, then. If you change your mind, we are leaving after I have a shower.""I will let you know if I'm up for it by then."☕️"Can't you just drive us?" Jungkook whines. He feels exhausted because of last night. Minjae decided on not coming, so it was just the four of them."It's not that far Jungkook," Taehyung assures."But my legs are dying," Jungkook complains."You're the dancer here. Stop whining," Taehyung scolds. They were walking to the cafe that Yeonjun recommended. Jungkook was interested in trying coffee that wasn't made by Taehyung."We're here," Yeonjun announces.The cafe was decorated so pleasantly. The seating area overlooked the wharf. Jungkook's eyes widened in awe seeing the ocean.The waiter came to greet us and brought us to a table, handing out a menu to each person."Wow, fancy. Why don't we get service like this from you Tae?" Jungkook teases."Shut up. You love my coffee," Taehyung says, pouting."They have amazing food here," Yeonjun says."Oh my god! They have eggs benedict!" Beomgyu exclaims."Well, I know what you're getting now." Yeonjun chuckles and Beomgyu's cuteness."Why is avocado on toast $14?" Jungkook asks, not believing how expensive it is."That's brunch food for you," Taehyung snickers."People go nuts over that stuff," Yeonjun explains.Jungkook looks through the menu, not sure on what to get. Nothing was tickling his fancy.He points at something random from the menu, "I want that.""Peanut butter and jelly stack?" Yeonjun asks."Yeah, that one. What is it?""Pancakes," Yeonjun answers."Ohhh, so that is what a stack is," Jungkook hums."That sounds intense," Taehyung says."I'm an intense kind of guy," Jungkook replies, making the others laugh."Are you guys ready to order?" The waiter asks, pulling out a mini notepad and a pen.The table orders and the waiter goes on their way.Jungkook watched Beomgyu and Yeonjun from the other side of the table. He smiles, thinking about how cute they look together. He then looks at Taehyung and smiles even wider."What?" Taehyung asks, smiling back at Jungkook."I'm lucky to have you."Taehyung leans in to give Jungkook a peck on the lips. "Why are you sweet all of a sudden?""Preparing himself for those pancakes that will give him cavities," Yeonjun jokes."What you got wasn't any better!" Jungkook pouts.He never thought he would be sitting here, so content with life. Having a boyfriend felt so out of reach when he first moved to the city. The cute barista he was crushing on just so happened to like him back. It felt like he was living in real-life fan fiction.☕️They were walking along with the seaside, eating ice cream. The smell of the ocean calmed Jungkook. So much has been going on with his personal and study life that this is just what he needed to unwind. He was glad he came on this trip.Taehyung's phone starts to ring, and he quickly excuses himself, "Sorry guys, I need to take this."They sit down on a nearby bench waiting for Taehyung to finish his phone call. Jungkook looks over to him and notices his mood change—the conversation looked pretty heated. Jungkook pouts. He doesn't like seeing Taehyung upset."Sorry about that guys," Taehyung apologises."Who was it?" Jungkook asks."It was my father," Taehyung replies, "Don't worry about it.""Are you sure you don't want to talk about it?""Everything is fine," Taehyung assures. "Just a father, son, quarrel."It pains Jungkook that he knows Taehyung was hiding something. His mind was running wild of all the possible things that could tick Taehyung off.☕️"I can't believe you guys went out without me!" Jiyeon cries out, "You guys didn't even wake me up!"Jungkook awkwardly scratches the back of his neck, not knowing what to say."Sorry... I thought you just wanted to sleep in," Yeonjun sheepishly says."I'm so disappointed in you guys," Jiyeon whines then points to Jungkook, "especially you Jungkook."Jungkook points to himself and mouths 'me' in shock."Yes you," Jiyeon says, pouting."They invited me," Minjae slyly comments."What?!" Jiyeon glares at everyone before fake crying. "I guess it's my fault for sleeping in... I was up all night.""You were? Doing what?" Jungkook asks."Wouldn't you like to know?" Jiyeon teases."Yes. I would like to know. That's why I asked," Jungkook cockily replies."Because of that, I won't tell you now," Jiyeon snickers making Jungkook whine in protest."It's probably nothing," Minjae says, making Jiyeon glare at him."You're nothing," Jiyeon snaps back."Oof. Are you just going to take that?" Taehyung laughs.Jimin and Hoseok come into the house with a big cooler of fish."We caught some fish to eat tonight!" Jimin excitedly announces.Jungkook notices Beomgyu's face scrunch up at the mention of fish."Does Beomgyu not like seafood?" Jungkook whispers into Yeonjun's ear, to which he gets a nod as a reply.Maybe Jungkook should cook something for him, so he doesn't have to eat the fish.☕️"What are you doing?" Taehyung asks Jungkook."Trying to make food for Beomgyu," Jungkook replies nonchalantly.Taehyung looks at Jungkook confused. "You're making food for Beomgyu but not me?""Are you jealous?" Jungkook teases.Taehyung embraces Jungkook from behind and whispers into his ear, "You know what I do when I'm jealous?"Jungkook stiffens up, surprised by the sudden contact. "N-No?"Taehyung bites Jungkook's ear lightly making Jungkook moan. "Not here..." Jungkook says."Shall we take this elsewhere?" Taehyung whispers sexily into Jungkook's ear."B-But-""That was a rhetorical question," Taehyung growls, pulling Jungkook away from the kitchen.Jungkook completely surrenders himself to Taehyung. It's hard not to."Take your clothes off," Taehyung demands.Jungkook obeys almost instantly."Now bend over onto the bed."Jungkook bends over, displaying Taehyung his ass. "Tae..." Jungkook moans at the thought of Taehyung having his way with him."You were purposely trying to make me jealous hmm?" Taehyung asks."N-No..."Taehyung spanks Jungkook making the boy jolt in surprise."Liar," Taehyung accuses."I-I didn't," Jungkook stutters.Taehyung spanks him again. This time Jungkook moaned. His member was getting harder."Sorry, what was that?" Taehyung teases."I've been a naughty boy... Punish me... I lied to you," Jungkook confesses.Jungkook was just being thoughtful and cooking for Beomgyu because he didn't like seafood, but Taehyung doesn't need to know that. Jungkook just wants to be fucked right now, so he lied. Jungkook was sure Taehyung was only using the jealous excuse to get into his pants, and Jungkook doesn't mind at all.Taehyung massages lightly over the area he spanked, leaning in to give it a gentle kiss. He then pulls away, spanking it one last time. Jungkook never knew he had a spanking kink until Taehyung tried it out on him."Please, I need you," Jungkook pleads."Need me to what hmm?" Taehyung teases, giving him another spank."Fuck me," Jungkook breathes out."Say please," Taehyung demands."P-Please," Jungkook whimpers as Taehyung spanks him again."Please what?" Taehyung asks.Jungkook frustrated, shouts, "Please just fuck me already!"He was frustrated that Taehyung was making him form longer sentences while in this state of mind. But he knew Taehyung was getting off to teasing him.Taehyung chuckles at Jungkook's neediness and starts to undress. He grabs a bottle of lube and applies it onto his fingers. He begins to prep Jungkook's hole, fingering the boy, trying to find his pleasure point.Jungkook moans as Taehyung finds his prostate. Smirking, Taehyung slides his finger out making Jungkook whimper, then applies some lube onto his member, positioning it at Jungkook's entrance."What do you want?" Taehyung asks one last time."You inside of me," Jungkook replies, moaning as Taehyung teased Jungkook's entrance with the tip of his member."As you wish," Taehyung says, sliding his member in slowly."F-Fuck," Jungkook curses as he feels his hole slowly fill up."How does it feel baby?"Jungkook moans as Taehyung thrusts slowly."Amazing," Jungkook finally replies. "You can move faster."Taehyung was given the signal to pick up the pace, and that is exactly what he did—thrusting in and out at a fast, intense rhythm. The room echoed slapping noises each time Taehyung's balls hit Jungkook's ass while he thrusted.Taehyung pulls out and makes Jungkook face him. "I want to see your beautiful face while we make love," Taehyung sweetly says, making Jungkook's heart swell. He slams back in, thrusting in and out. He hit Jungkook's prostate dead on each time, making the boy see stars.Jungkook was in love. The way Taehyung called it making love rather than just sex made every move; every touch has a meaning. Jungkook felt loved—He felt like he belonged—He had found his soulmate for life.Jungkook moaned Taehyung's name over and over again. Taehyung reaches out to stroke Jungkook's hard member. The pleasure Jungkook was feeling was mind-blowing. Sex just kept on getting better. Taehyung never failed to deliver."I-I want to cum," Jungkook says, alerting the other that he was close."Hold it in a little longer for me, baby." Taehyung rolled his head back, moaning. "You feel so good.""P-Please," Jungkook begs. He wants to release."Not yet," Taehyung pants.The thrusting becomes more and more intense. Jungkook felt like he could cum without even touching himself as Taehyung hit his prostate dead on every thrust."Okay, are you ready?" Taehyung asks, in which Jungkook replies with a nod. "Look at me while you cum."Jungkook looks into Taehyung's eyes as he fucked him. Jungkook was mesmerised. He felt his climax coming and mouthed 'I love you' as he came. He shoots all over his stomach, some even reaching his cheek.Taehyung was taken over the edge as Jungkook clenched onto his member while he orgasmed, his cum filling Jungkook's hole up. He pulls out as his seed oozes out of Jungkook's entrance."I love you too, Jungkook."☕️

----- CHAPTER BREAK -----

Jungkook makes his way over to the kitchen where the forgotten food he was preparing for Beomgyu laid."You two were quite loud," Minjae snickers, walking up to the fridge."W-What? You heard?" Jungkook asks, embarrassed."The whole house could hear," he says, opening a can of soda."Hear what?" Jiyeon asks, walking into the kitchen, "Ooh, what are you cooking?"Jungkook glares at Minjae. "Nothing. The house could hear nothing.""Yeah, what are you cooking?" Minjae asks, also being curious."I'm cooking chicken schnitzel for Beomgyu. He doesn't like fish," Jungkook explains."I want some!" Jiyeon shouts, excited."No, it's for Beomgyu because everyone else is having fish," Jungkook says again.He starts to crumb the chicken as Hoseok walks into the room."You're not having fish?" Hoseok asks."I am! Oh my god, why is everyone on my ass about cooking food for Beomgyu." Jungkook pouts."Beomgyu is not having fish?" Hoseok asks, confused."You're cooking for Beomgyu?" Yeonjun asks, walking into the kitchen wish Jimin."Yes, I am," Jungkook says, sighing."Beomgyu isn't having the fish we caught?" Jimin asks.Jungkook was about to explode."I think we should all let Jungkook be for now," Jiyeon says, seeing Jungkook get frustrated.Beomgyu walks into the room, "Why is everyone in the kitchen? What's happening?""Everyone is making a big deal over Jungkook cooking," Minjae explains."I'm cooking schnitzel for you," Jungkook says, smiling at Beomgyu."W-What? Really?" Beomgyu asks, surprised. "But why?""Because I noticed when Hoseok and Jimin told everyone they were cooking fish tonight that your face scrunched up. So I asked Yeonjun if you didn't like seafood.""That's so sweet! You didn't have to," Beomgyu says."Our Jungkookie is the sweetest," Jimin coos.☕️"The fish is so good!" Yeonjun exclaims, "Beomgyu, you have to try at least one bite.""No, thank you," Beomgyu rejects."Please," Yeonjun pleads, whining. "Just one bite," he holds up his fork to Beomgyu's mouth."Fine," Beomgyu lets Yeonjun feed him the fish. Everyone watches, curious about Beomgyu's reaction.He chews silently, not showing any change in his face. Once he had swallowed, he goes to open his mouth before being cut off by Yeonjun."It isn't that bad, right?" Yeonjun asks, eagerly waiting for his response."I don't like it," Beomgyu says nonchalantly, focusing his attention back to his own food.Yeonjun pouts, making everyone burst into laughter."You two are so cute," Jiyeon comments, making the two blush."Let's make a toast," Jungkook says, standing up. "Tomorrow will be our last full day here at the holiday house, so I wanted to say a few words."Jungkook clears his throat, "I would have never imagined having all of you here. When I first moved to the city, I was expecting to spend most of my time in the library, studying. Having meaningful relationships wasn't something I had until I met you guys.""Aww Jungkook," Jimin coos."You mean so much to us Jungkook," Taehyung adds.Jungkook continues, "Let's make a promise.""A promise?" Jiyeon asks, confused."A promise that we will never break apart what we have now," Jungkook says, holding his glass up. "I wouldn't know what to do without you guys. Cheers to being apart of the greatest friend group ever.""Cheers!" Everyone yells back.The night ends on a positive note.☕️"Beach time!" Jimin shouts, barging into Jungkook and Taehyung's shared bedroom."Jimin, not so loud," Jungkook whines, sitting up while rubbing his eyes. He opens his eyes to see Jimin without a shirt. "Jimin! Put a shirt on!""Why? We are going to the beach," Jimin explains."B-Beach?" Taehyung says, waking up from his slumber.Yeonjun comes barging into the room. "Wake up sleepy heads! We are going in 15 minutes.""W-What?! I can't get ready that fast?" Jungkook replies in a panic."Well, it looks like you will have to," Jimin teases."You guys should have woken us up earlier," Jungkook whines.To Jungkook's surprise, he managed to make his way out to the front on time. He was now ready for the beach. He looks at Jiyeon, who was carrying a massive umbrella."Are you afraid of the sun?" Jungkook asks."It's a beach umbrella, and no, I am not," Jiyeon replies. "I have sun cream if you want some.""I completely forgot about that.""Red, lobster Jungkook would have been an interesting sight," Minjae says, chuckling."Are we ready to go?" Yeonjun asks, doing a headcount."It looks like it," Hoseok replies.They make their way to the beach. Jungkook only now realised how loud they were as they walked.The weather was on their side today. Jungkook has never seen a day as perfect as today. There was not a single cloud in the sky. Not too hot, nor too cold.Jungkook grabs Taehyung's hand as they walked, interlocking their fingers. Life couldn't get any better than this.They finally arrive at the beach, and everyone starts to announce what they were going to do, running off into little groups.Beomgyu, Yeonjun and Hoseok went to build sandcastles while Minjae and Jimin dragged Jiyeon out into the water, ignoring her very vocal protests."Watch out!" Jimin shouts as Minjae comes up behind Jiyeon, lifting her bridal style."Let me down, Minjae!" Jiyeon shouts, trying to escape but started laughing because Minjae was tickling his sides. Minjae walked further out, trying to get into deeper water."Are you sure you want that?" Minjae asks."I'm coming to save you, Jiyeon!" Jimin shouts, waddling his way over."Stop right there Jimin, or I will drop the captive into the water," Minjae says."Yes! Drop me! Keep walking Jimin," Jiyeon shouts.Minjae shrugs before dropping Jiyeon into the water, causing a big splash."Oh my god! Help! I'm drowning!" Jiyeon says in a panic.Jungkook looks over to the scene and laughs, seeing what has unfolded. "Hey, Jiyeon! Have you tried standing up?!"Jiyeon, all of a sudden, stopped flailing and stood up. The water was shallow, and now her face was turning red from embarrassment.Minjae and Jimin fall onto their knees, laughing."Shut up! I knew it was shallow," Jiyeon huffs.Jungkook then turns to Taehyung who had already laid down all the beach towels and set up the umbrella that Jiyeon brought."Looks like it's just us two." Jungkook smiles.Taehyung sits down on to one of the beach towels and motions for Jungkook to do the same. Jungkook sits down next to Taehyung and the two watch everyone have fun."Why aren't you out there with them all?" Jungkook asks."I could ask the same about you," Taehyung smartly replies."Well, I asked first," Jungkook says."I wanted just to relax and clear my mind. I love the sound of the waves rolling onto the beach. It's soothing," Taehyung says."What's on your mind?" Jungkook asks."A lot of things. I've been thinking a lot lately," Taehyung replies."Do you want to share some of those thoughts?""I've been thinking about the future," Taehyung says."Wow. I thought you were more of a go with the flow type of guy who doesn't overthink about the future," Jungkook says, chuckling."It was not until I met you that I have started thinking about it. I want my future to be with you Jungkook," Taehyung says sweetly, making Jungkook's heart skip a beat.Jungkook reaches out to hold Taehyung's hand."Can I ask you something, Jungkook?" Taehyung asks."Yes?""Will, you always love me?" Taehyung says, looking out into the ocean."Of course, I will! What type of question is that?" Jungkook asks."Promise me," Taehyung says, lifting up his pinky."A pinky promise?" Jungkook chuckles, lifting his pinky to interwind with Taehyung's. "I promise."Taehyung leans in to give Jungkook a tender kiss. It was short but sweet."I will always love you, Taehyung."Jungkook started to think. What was Taehyung really thinking about?☕️They were now heading back home. Minjae decided to go in Hoseok's car this time which made Jungkook extremely happy. Not that he didn't like Minjae. It's just that when they drove to the holiday house, Jungkook had to sit in the middle for hours."I can't believe you dragged me into the water with Minjae then when he picked me up you acted like you were trying to save me," Jiyeon says to Jimin."I didn't know you couldn't swim," Jimin says, trying to defend himself."What does that have to do with anything? Also, I do know how to swim! It's just the thought of deep water is scary," Jiyeon explains."That was pretty gold," Jungkook comments."Shut up Jungkook." Jiyeon pouts."Hey! I'm the one who told you to stand up. So essentially, I saved you." Jungkook laughs."Guys... I think the GPS is broken and I've lost sight of Hoseok's car," Taehyung announces in an unsteady voice."Are you actually joking?" Jimin asks."No." Taehyung pulls over, trying to fix the GPS."There is no signal here! We can't even use our phones," Jiyeon whines."It's way too hot outside," Jimin complains."I think there is a petrol station nearby," Jungkook says."We could ask for directions there," Jiyeon says.Taehyung pulls back onto the road and drives to the nearby petrol station. The four of them walk into the station."Hey, there is a cafe here. We should grab some stuff for the trip," Jimin says, dragging Jiyeon off to the cafe."I'm going to go buy some snacks," Taehyung announces, walking to the convenience store side.Jungkook sighs. Of course, it was up to him to solve this mess.He walks up to the counter and clears his throat, trying to get the workers attention."What can I do for you?" The guy asks."We are lost at the moment and was wondering if you guys sell maps?" Jungkook asks."A map? Shouldn't you guys have a GPS?""Well... Our GPS broke down, and there is no signal here," Jungkook explains."Sorry to break it to you but we don't sell maps here. Although the cafe has free wifi, that might help."Jungkook thanks the guy and walks over to the cafe side to see Jimin and Jiyeon at the counter ordering."What are you guys getting?" Jungkook asks."Coffee for everyone," Jimin says, "Jiyeon offered to pay for everyone.""They have wifi here," Jungkook says."They do?! We can download google maps for offline," Jiyeon says.The four of them sit around a round table drinking their coffee while being glued to their phones."It says that we still have 3 hours to go," Taehyung announces. "If we want to get back before dark, we have to leave now."They get into the car, and Taehyung tries to start the engine, but it wouldn't start."Don't tell me," Taehyung says, sighing. He then hits the steering wheel cursing."It won't start?" Jimin asks."We are stranded!" Jiyeon exclaims."Calm down, guys. We can just call someone..." Jungkook says, before realising there is no service here."This is what happens when we choose shitty phone companies that don't build towers out in the country," Jiyeon complains.Taehyung gets out of the car and asks for help. The rest of them decide to exit the vehicle to stretch."Hopefully someone can help us start the car," Jungkook says, worried. He just wants to get home and sleep in his bed.A man comes to check the car out. He opens up the bonnet and fiddles around."Looks like you guys won't be going anywhere soon," the man says."What's wrong with it?" Taehyung asks."Your battery is flat, and I don't have the wires to jump start it. Since it's a Sunday, the mechanics are closed early out here, so you will have to wait till tomorrow," he explains."Tomorrow?!" Everyone shouts in unison."We can't wait till tomorrow," Jimin says, furrowing his brows."Where will we stay the night?" Jungkook asks."There is a motel, 100 metres down the road. I'm sure they will have vacancies," the man says."Thanks for the help," Taehyung says, smiling at the man. "Looks like we have no choice but to stay the night."They walk to the motel and enter through the front door. Jungkook noticed that the motel seemed to be quite old fashioned."Hey, excuse me," Jimin says, dinging the bell at the reception."That's strange. There is no one here," Jiyeon says.Suddenly a door from the side bursts open, scaring the group."Welcome! Do you guys have a booking?" The man asks, walking behind the counter."No, sir. We were wondering if you had any vacant rooms right now?" Jungkook asks.The man clicks his tongue. "We only have one room left. I don't think-""We will take it," Taehyung cuts him off. They had no choice but to take it."Alright, then. You will have to pay a $50 deposit in case you guys damage anything," he replies.Taehyung hands out his card, willingly paying for everyone."Here are the keys. Your room number is 7. Free breakfast is from 6 till 8."Taehyung thanks the man and retrieves the keys. They walk to their allocated room. Taehyung puts the key in the lock, but the lock wasn't budging."Great. Nothing is working out today." Taehyung sighs."Let me try," Jungkook says, turning the key effortlessly. He looks to Taehyung and smiles."I made it easier for you," Taehyung says, pouting."Yeah yeah, sure." Jungkook laughs. Jungkook walks through the door and freezes. "Guys..."☕️

----- CHAPTER BREAK -----

"Here are the keys. Your room number is 7. Free breakfast is from 6 till 8."Taehyung thanks the man and retrieves the keys. They walk to their allocated room. Taehyung puts the key in the lock, but the lock wasn't budging."Great. Nothing is working out today." Taehyung sighs."Let me try," Jungkook says, turning the key effortlessly. He looks to Taehyung and smiles."I made it easier for you," Taehyung says, pouting."Yeah yeah, sure." Jungkook laughs. Jungkook walks through the door and freezes. "Guys...""What is it?" Jimin asks, pushing Jungkook aside to walk in."What the-" Jiyeon starts to say.There lying in front of them was a large heart-shaped bed. Jungkook thought these beds only existed in movies. Then suddenly he realised, "There is only one bed...""Are you kidding?" Jiyeon snorts.Jungkook doesn't have a problem sharing a bed, but will they all fit on it?"I can't share a bed with three grown boys," Jiyeon complains as she walks in with her suitcase."Lucky for you. We are all gay," Taehyung snorts, making the other two laugh.Jiyeon blushes in embarrassment. "I know that!""I'm claiming this side of the bed," Jimin announces, sitting down on the bed."You should sleep between Tae and Jungkook just in case they try and do any funny business while we are sleeping," Jiyeon says, fetching her sleepwear from the suitcase."Hey! Don't be like that," Jungkook says, pouting.Taehyung walks up behind Jungkook and back hugs the boy. "You can't put a wedge between us," he teases."You can sleep next to me," Jimin says, making kissing faces to Jiyeon."My lips are for Professor Seokjin. No one else," Jiyeon deadpans.Night comes, and they were all squished into the bed. They spent hours just talking and telling jokes.Just as Jungkook was about to fall into a deep sleep, he could hear banging on the wall. His eyes flutter open, annoyed at the intrusion to the ears. He looks over to the others to see if they could hear what he was hearing. The banging continued, and he could hear a faint moan."What the fuck..." Jiyeon says as her eyes flash open in shock. "Is this actually happening?"The moaning intensifies, causing the atmosphere to be awkward."Should we tell them to shut up?" Jimin asks."What if they get angry?" Jiyeon says, too scared of confrontation."Well, I'm angry now. I need my beauty sleep," Jimin explains."Hopefully it will be over soon," Taehyung wishes."Yes! That's the spot. I'm gonna cum!" A girls voice shouts."About time," Jiyeon says, rolling her eyes.Jungkook couldn't help but laugh at the situation.The banging stops and everyone sighs, relieved. Five minutes pass and the banging starts happening again."Again?!" Jiyeon shouts.Taehyung bangs on the wall and tells them to shut up. They get louder in response."Maybe I should call the reception?" Jungkook suggests."I think we are in a love motel judging by the bed we are sleeping in," Taehyung says.Taehyung was right. He is always right. They probably won't do anything about it. They had to just wait it out again.Something tells Jungkook that he isn't going to get a good sleep tonight.☕️Jungkook woke up early to have breakfast. It seemed that everyone else wasn't going to budge. They didn't have much sleep last night due to their noisy neighbours.On the debate about whether or not you should brush your teeth before or after breakfast; Jungkook is on the brush before eating team.He knows it's probably impractical since his teeth are just going to get dirty right after eating again. But he doesn't want to have bad morning breath. Old habits never change.As he brushes his teeth, he feels a pair of familiar arms wrap around him in a warm embrace. He leans back into the hug, enjoying his presence."Good morning," Taehyung says, resting his chin on to Jungkook's shoulder."You're awake?" Jungkook says in a surprised tone."Of course, I am." Taehyung acts offended. "I wanted to have breakfast with you." He kisses Jungkook's cheek and grabs his toothbrush.It looks like Taehyung is also on team brush before eating. Jimin had always given him shit since he is a dedicated brush after supporter."That's sweet of you." Jungkook smiles. Jungkook feels at ease when Taehyung is around. He can't help but find Taehyung adorable with his bed hair sticking in all sorts of directions.They both finish their morning routines and head to the breakfast buffet. Jungkook was surprised that this motel even had one. He looks over to the selection of food they had. Since it's an all you can eat buffet, Jungkook has decided to be ambitious and go wild with his choice.He grabs a plate and grabs one of each item. Jungkook drools at the danishes and croissants. He also grabbed one of each fruit they had. He hums, content at the assortment of fruit on his plate."They have a fancy toaster," Taehyung points out, catching Jungkook's attention.Jungkook walks over and grabs a slice of raisin toast to put through the toaster. He watches in awe as the slice of bread slowly enters the machine conveyer belt, plopping down to the bottom, ready for collection. "When we get a house together, we are getting one of these.""Thinking about moving in with me already?" Taehyung teases.Jungkook places his plate on the table, only to run back and grab a bowl of cereal. He turns the nuzzle for the milk to pour into his bowl.As he returns to the table, he is delighted to see that Taehyung had grabbed him a glass of orange juice."Wow, Jungkook. Are you going to eat all of that?" Taehyung asks, gawking at all the food Jungkook had on his plate."You underestimate me," Jungkook replies. Jungkook knows for sure that he can finish it all. He has to get his value worth even if it makes him walk out sick.It wasn't too long until Jungkook finished his food. Taehyung sat there looking at him in awe or confusion. Jungkook wasn't too sure what his facial expression meant.Jungkook felt content and smiles at Taehyung. Taehyung smiles back, but his eyes were telling him something was off. Taehyung looked nervous. Like he was hiding something."What's wrong?" Jungkook asks."I love you Jungkook," Taehyung says, with a creak in his voice."I love you too?" Jungkook tilts his head, confused at the random timing."Promise me you won't get mad," Taehyung asks, desperation in his eyes."Why? What happened?" Jungkook replies."Promise me Jungkook," Taehyung insists.Jungkook felt something wrong at the pit of his stomach. This isn't sitting right with him."Jungkook?" Taehyung asks, pressing for an answer."Fine. I promise. What is it?" Jungkook caves in. To be honest, Jungkook was frightened. Taehyung seemed serious, and he doesn't know what to expect."Well... you see..." Taehyung starts. He seemed to be having trouble with his choice of words. Not knowing how to form sentences properly due to his nervousness. "Over the last month, my father has been demanding me to take over his company he set up in New York.""Huh?" Jungkook's eyes widen in shock. Did he hear correctly? Is this a joke?"That was the whole reason why he came back home," Taehyung explains. "He asked my brother first, but he has responsibilities and a life here.""What-""I really don't want to go but if I don't, they will force my brother to leave his job and life behind to take over the company.""N-No..." Jungkook says, his voice cracking."My brother has so much to lose if he leaves. Me though... I felt like it's a sacrifice I need to take for my brother's sake. I don't have as many responsibilities as my brother.""That's not fair," Jungkook chokes. He couldn't believe that this was being sprung on him right now. It was such a perfect morning."I know Jungkook... I know... There is not much I can do," Taehyung says, sighing."What does that mean for us?" Jungkook asks as a stray tear starts to trickle down his cheek."That's the reason why I'm bringing this up. I wanted to ask..." Taehyung stops, taking a sip of his water nervously."Ask?" Jungkook was on the edge of his seat."I wanted to ask if you will come with me.""W-What?""I love you with all my heart, and I don't want to be separated from you," Taehyung confesses."Taehyung..." Jungkook started to feel frustrated over the situation that has risen."I know you have so much ahead of you, and it is selfish of me for asking, but a part of me wants to be selfish and have you all for myself.""I-I can't..." Jungkook tears up.Taehyung's face lost all colour. "Please Jungkook," he begs."I can't leave everything behind... I still haven't finished my law degree.""You can transfer universities or go on exchange.""Why, Taehyung? Why?!" Jungkook gets heated. Luckily they were alone apart from the one guy sitting in the corner eating his breakfast. He was minding his own business, and Jungkook was grateful for that."Don't get upset baby," Taehyung says, wiping Jungkook's tears with his thumb.How could he not be upset after hearing this news? The love of his life is leaving him. Of course, he is going to be upset.Jungkook can see that Taehyung was nearly at breaking point. He was keeping his composure for Jungkook."You can't leave me," Jungkook cries out. "You can't.""Jungkook..."He couldn't believe this was happening. Just when he was at his happiest, something had to happen to make him crash down to reality. Jungkook felt like he wasn't allowed to be this happy, and this was god's cruel way of punishing him."I'm sorry, Jungkook," Taehyung croaks, his voice hoarse. Jungkook could see the pain in Taehyung's eyes—they were both hurting.☕️They managed to get the right wires to jump-start the car, and they were on their way back home. There was at least another 3 hours left on the road. It felt like it has been forever since he'd been back home. He misses his bed. He wants to cry himself to sleep in private.The car ride was super awkward. Jungkook didn't get closure after Taehyung's sudden confession. In a way, Jungkook thought the idea of running away to New York with Taehyung was romantic, but his mum would for sure skin him alive if it happened.The two haven't spoken since breakfast. Jungkook felt that Jimin and Jiyeon could feel the tension in the car since they weren't talking either. Maybe it was because they didn't get much sleep, and the journey back home had been tedious.Jungkook finally got a signal on his phone. He could tell by the dozens of messages flowing onto his lock screen, asking where he has been. He forgot to tell the others that their car battery went flat. He had the chance to when they were in the cafe, but he didn't take advantage of the free wifi.He looks over at Taehyung. He was concentrated on the road ahead of him, but he could tell that there was a lot on his mind. Taehyung isn't usually this quite. He almost feels bad that he reacted the way he did.Keyword; almost. He felt betrayed and upset. Taehyung was leaving him, and he can't come to terms with it. He knows he is being selfish, but at the moment, he doesn't care. His emotions are getting the best of him.His heart sinks again for the 100th time during the car trip. He had to stop himself from crying all this time. His eyes were getting teary. He wishes he could rewind time and be happy again.☕️

----- CHAPTER BREAK -----

It's been a few weeks since Taehyung had told him about New York. Jungkook still felt conflicted about the whole situation. He has yet to talk to anyone about it. Instead, he spent most of his time locked in his room. Jimin has tried countless times to try and get him out, but Jungkook wouldn't budge. Jungkook feels like Jimin knows."Jungkook, you can't keep doing this. Soon the holidays will be over, and you have spent most of them inside," Jimin scolds.Jungkook looks at his phone and stares at the last message Taehyung had sent to him."What really happened between you two? This is getting ridiculous Jungkook," Jimin says as he jumps onto Jungkook's bed, getting into the covers to back hug Jungkook. "Tell me what's wrong?""I don't want to talk about it," Jungkook mutters."Jungkookie," Jimin whines, pinching Jungkook's ear."Stop," Jungkook whines, trying not to smile."Tell me~," Jimin says in a high pitch voice, trying to act cute."I don't want to," Jungkook repeats.Jimin gets up from the bed and sighs. "Well, I am here when you are ready to talk about it. Taehyung won't tell me anything either. Why are you guys being so secretive? I just want you two to be happy, and I am worried." He pouts.Jungkook feels terrible for leaving Jimin in the dark, but he is trying to not think about Taehyung right now. It hurts every time he thinks about him going, and it's hard not to think about it.He starts uni again on Monday and Jungkook doesn't have the motivation to study, let alone walk out of his dorm.Jungkook has refused any form of confrontation from Taehyung. It's awful, but Jungkook doesn't know if he can handle himself in front of Taehyung without crying. He is a cry baby, he knows. It's just that Taehyung is the first person he has ever truly loved romantically. He is the one for Jungkook; there can't be anyone else. He has almost accepted the fact that he is going to be forever alone by the end of the year."Jungkook, Tae is on the phone, and he wants to talk to you," Jimin says, handing the phone to Jungkook."No!" Jungkook whisper shouts. "Tell him I'm not here.""It's a bit too late for that." Jimin chuckles. "He can hear you."Jungkook curses under his breath. He is not emotionally ready for this right now. He grabs the phone and puts it to his ear and says nothing."Jungkook?" Taehyung's voice sent chills down Jungkook's spine. It has been so long since he had heard his voice. "Hello?""Jungkook, say something," Jimin says, rolling his eyes.Looks like he has lost this fight and has to cave in. "Hi." Yep, that is all Jungkook had."Jungkook! You are there. Why are you ignoring my messages and calls? I had to call Jimin to get to you," Taehyung whines. Jungkook felt guilty like he committed some sort of crime."I'm sorry... I-""Don't be sorry! How about we meet up and talk about it?" Taehyung suggests. Jungkook shakes his head then realises he can't see what Jungkook is doing over the phone and facepalms. "I think I'm busy.""I know that's a lie, Jungkook. Jimin told me you have locked yourself inside the dorm for weeks. Apparently, there is a big pile of uber eats bags at the front door."Jungkook looks over to that pile then over to Jimin, making sure he gave him the deadliest glare. Jimin just put his hands up and mouthed 'I didn't do anything' and walks off into the bathroom.Jungkook sighs. "I have no choice, right?""No, you don't!" Jimin shouts from the other room."Tomorrow come into the cafe," Taehyung says."Okay.""I love you," Taehyung says sweetly through the phone."I love you too," Jungkook replies before hanging up. Once the phone call ended, he whispers, "I love you so much that it hurts."☕️Jungkook wakes up the next day feeling groggy. He looks into the mirror and scowls—his eyes are swollen badly. He thinks about not going through with the deal and staying here, but there is a part of him that doesn't want to disappoint Taehyung.He washes his face and brushes his teeth. It has been a while since he has been outside. The idea of it sounds too confronting. Jimin offered to go with him since his shift starts when Taehyung goes on break.Jungkook didn't try too hard to impress. He did make sure to make himself look somewhat presentable. He forces a smile to himself in the mirror and walks out to wait for Jimin."I won't be too long, Jungkook. I just need to brush my teeth." Jimin walks into the bathroom as Jungkook sits on his bed.Jungkook looks at the message Taehyung sent this morning.
Taehyung:

Good morning babe. Make sure you turn up today~ I miss you xx
He smiles to himself. He wishes things can go back to how they were before the summer trip. When he could happily hold his hand and feel like everything is alright."Okay, I'm ready. Shall we go?" Jimin asks in which Jungkook nods as a reply.The two make their way to the cafe. Small chatter and the ambience of cars filled the neighbourhood air. Jimin was right; being outside is helping him clear his mind. He loves the breeze flowing through his locks and brushing past his face. He misses the cafe—the cafe he used to go to every day—he used to sit there and just enjoy the atmosphere.They arrive at the cafe, and right away, he locks eyes with Taehyung. Taehyung smiles at him and his cheeks heat up. He looks over to where he usually sits to avoid any further eye contact for now. His nerves are kicking back in. "I will tell Taehyung to bring your coffee when he is on break," Jimin says before walking to the back of the cafe.Jungkook calmly sits down and brings out his phone. Not looking anything in particular. He is playing some boring phone games to occupy his mind while he waits for Taehyung. Not long after, Taehyung places a coffee in front of him and sits down across from him."Hey, Jungkook. I brought you your favourite cookie." Jungkook looks up to a smiling Taehyung. Is he affected at all by any of this? Why is he the only one like this?"Thanks," Jungkook says, forcing a smile.They sit in silence for a while before Taehyung tries to break the ice again. "Knock knock."Is he really making a knock-knock joke? "Who's there?""Stopwatch.""Stopwatch who?" Jungkook doesn't see where this is going."Stopwatch you doing and talk to me," Taehyung finishes, smiling slightly.Jungkook couldn't help but crack a smile. The joke was so lame that it was actually funny."I got a smile! Success," Taehyung says, thrusting his fist up into the air. "I tried cooking last night.""How did that go?" Jungkook asks."I was trying to cook cookies, but they didn't turn out that great. I followed everything that it said on the recipe that Jin gave me but why didn't it work? I wanted to bring some for you, but they were a bit... burnt," Taehyung explains."Maybe you left them in too long or had the oven on too high?" Jungkook thought it was charming that he tried cooking for him to cheer him up."Maybe you are right! You always had all the answers." Taehyung smiles then sighs. "Jungkook, I want you to reconsider.""Reconsider?" Jungkook looks at Taehyung confused. "You are telling me to reconsider?""We would have a happy life together in New York. I can't do it without you... I need you," Taehyung explains."Is this why you called me out?" Jungkook snaps."What? No... I wanted to see you," Taehyung panics."Why can't you just stay here with me? Why do you have to go to New York?" Jungkook raises his voice."Shh, people are looking... Not here. Let's go outside," Taehyung suggests.Jungkook follows Taehyung outside to the front of the cafe."You know I can't do that Jungkook," Taehyung continues."Why not?" Jungkook asks, frustrated all over again."My parents... My brother...""You are going to let your parents dictate your life?" Jungkook says, bitterness in his tone."Speak for yourself Jungkook!? Your mother has you wrapped around her finger," Taehyung retaliates."Don't you dare bring my mother into this," Jungkook threatens. Both of them don't know how it escalated to this point. They are caught up in the moment. Logic doesn't exist right now when Jungkook is this heated. His emotions get in the way too easily."What makes it okay for you to speak about my parents when I can't bring up yours? You're being a hypocrite.""You don't understand!" Jungkook shouts back."Make me understand then!" Taehyung raises his voice back, gripping onto Jungkook's shoulders.Jungkook throws Taehyung's hands off him. "Don't touch me.""Jungkook... Please don't do this," Taehyung begs.Jungkook had fire in his eyes. Everything was being let out that he kept in all these weeks. "Why? You are the one leaving! Why are you leaving me?""It doesn't have to be like this Jungkook."Jungkook bursts into tears. The tears that he was holding in so well. He throws himself into Taehyung, letting the boy hug him. He cries onto his shoulder and grips onto him like it was going to be the last time he ever saw the boy. "Please don't leave me," Jungkook pleads, voice cracking."I'm so sorry that things have to be like this Jungkook," Taehyung says, kissing Jungkook's forehead and wiping his tears away. "I don't know what to do..."They stay like that for more than ten minutes. Jimin had walked out to check on them, and Taehyung had to tell him everything was okay, but it really wasn't."What does that make us?" Jungkook asks."I don't know..." Taehyung looked lost."Maybe we should..." It pains Jungkook to say it let alone think it."No, I don't want to hear it."Jungkook leans in to kiss Taehyung. It was short-lived."I think it's best for us," Jungkook croaks out.Jungkook sees a tear roll down Taehyung's cheek, and it hit Jungkook hard. It was really rare to see Taehyung cry. In fact, Jungkook doesn't think he has ever seen the boy cry before. It hurts him that this is the first time."If that's what you think, I won't stop it." Taehyung breaks apart from Jungkook and looks down to the ground. "I really do love you, Jungkook. Always remember that."Jungkook is about to have a breakdown—he can feel it coming—He can't be here. "I'm sorry Taehyung," he says before running off.
This isn't happening.

Why is this happening?

Is it too late to turn back?

If he runs back, will it ease the pain?

He doesn't turn back. It was too late.
 ☕️

----- CHAPTER BREAK -----

The year goes by, and they haven't spoken since that day at the cafe. Life goes on, so it seems. Jungkook still thinks of Taehyung from time to time.Scratch that. Jungkook won't stop thinking about Taehyung. It's driven him insane. Exams are coming up, and he doesn't have the will to study. He is losing touch in his dance routines because he has lost passion. Nothing was falling into place for Jungkook."C'mon Jungkook, get it together." Jimin snaps his fingers in front of Jungkook's face."We need to go over the choreography again," Yeonjun says, fixing his fringe in the mirror."Oh, right. From the top," Jungkook says, snapping out of his trance. They had been practising for hours. His body was exhausted, and he just wants to go home and take a shower.They go through the routine one more time, but Jimin stops to turn off the music. "Jungkook, you need to snap out of it," Jimin says, sounding frustrated.Jungkook can admit that he may be a little sloppy with his moves right now. He felt Jimin was too harsh.They try another time, but Jungkook couldn't pull through and excuses himself. He sits down against the mirror, putting his head into his arms. What has gotten into him? He keeps forgetting the choreography. There was no way he was going to get the choreography down by the end of the month. He can't believe it's almost the end of the year."Jungkook..." Jimin sits down next to Jungkook. "Do you want to talk about it?""The year is already coming to an end, and that means he will be leaving me," Jungkook says, his voice fragile like glass. "I won't see his face ever again."Jimin puts an arm around Jungkook, not sure on what to say."I have so many regrets," Jungkook continues. "I could be spending my last moments with him now, but I can't bring myself to face him.""Have you thought about contacting him? I mean, I see him every day... I could help you out?" Jimin asks."Have I thought about it? Of course, I have. I think about it every day," Jungkook confesses. "I just feel like it will be doing more damage than good.""You know, one day you will have to move on.""I can't. I just can't Jimin," Jungkook croaks. "If I ain't got him, I don't want anything at all. It has to be Tae.""Jungkook..."Jungkook lifts his head to look at Jimin. He didn't realise he had been crying. He wipes his tears and sighs. "I'm a mess. I'm sorry guys.""No it's okay," Jimin says, trying to comfort the boy. "I'm worried about both of you." Jimin sighs."B-Both?" Jungkook stutters."Taehyung hasn't been the same since. He doesn't smile like he used to. Whenever I have shift with him I notice a gloomy aura around him," Jimin explains.Jungkook felt a pang to his heart. This whole time he had been worrying about how he felt and forgot how Taehyung might be feeling. He always assumed that Taehyung had moved on by now. "He leaves in a few weeks...""I don't know about you, but I think it's a good idea to go see him. Even if it's just for one last time." Jimin sighs.Jungkook stares out in front of him, thinking over Jimin's words."Here, have some water," Yeonjun says, crouching down in front of the two, handing a bottle over to Jungkook.Jungkook takes a sip and rolls his head back. "Do you think staying here is the wrong thing to do?" Jungkook asks."I believe there are no wrong decisions. Things happen for a reason," Yeonjun says, standing back up. "What's happening to you now is a lesson. If we don't go through these experiences, we won't grow as humans.""Either way, we will always be here for you Jungkook. Don't feel like you are alone in this," Jimin comforts.Jungkook smiles softly, wiping his tears."Wow! A smile!" Yeonjun gasps."You guys, are amazing. You know that?" Jungkook says."Of course we know." Jimin pats Jungkook's shoulder as he stands up. "Think about what was said and go rest. Yeonjun and I will stay here."Jungkook shakes his head. "No, I can do this. I can't let you two down after all you do for me.""Enough chit-chat then! Up you get," Yeonjun shouts from across the room as he turns the music on.☕️Jungkook stares at his phone screen, debating whether or not to text Taehyung. He thought about what Jimin told him. Jungkook would give everything to have one more day with Taehyung. He regrets how things ended last time they talked and wants to have at least his last memory with Taehyung end on a positive note.He had tried to write a message for the last hour but kept on deleting it, not knowing the right words to say. Jungkook feels like giving up. He can't bring himself to message him.Just as he was about to lock his phone, a message pops up from Taehyung.
Taehyung:

Can I see you one last time? Please...
Jungkook's eyes widen. They were thinking about each other at the same time. Jungkook couldn't help but smile widely at the text. He had to pinch himself back to reality. He can't expect too much.
Jungkook:

I would like that
 
Taehyung:

You know where to find me. A place that only we know about
 Jungkook looks at the message confused. "A place that only we know about?" Jungkook says to himself. Where could that possibly be?"The rooftop!" Jungkook jumps up, startling Jimin who looked at Jungkook weirdly from his side of their shared room. Jungkook looks at Jimin, "No time to explain."He throws on a jacket and wraps a scarf around his neck. Jungkook worries about Taehyung being out in the cold waiting for him.He makes his way to the abandoned building in the city. He almost got lost on the way. He had only been to the place once, and when he was here, Taehyung led him. He paid more attention to Taehyung rather than where they were going.He makes his way up the staircases, avoiding the rubble scattered all over the ground. When he reaches the top, he takes a deep breath and turns to see Taehyung standing with his hands in his pockets looking ethereal amongst the backdrop. Jungkook forgot how beautiful the city looked up here. The rooftop was decorated in lights. It looked like a scene straight out of a rom-com.He begins to walk towards Taehyung. Taehyung turns around, hearing footsteps from behind. Their eyes lock, and Jungkook opens his mouth to say something but nothing came out."Jungkook," Taehyung says sweetly, smiling at Jungkook. "You came."Hearing Taehyung's voice makes Jungkook burst into tears. He runs into Taehyung's embrace, drowning in his warmth. It doesn't feel real. This isn't happening right now."I've missed you so much," Taehyung rubs the back of Jungkook's head. "You have no idea."Jungkook cried for so many reasons. He wants to spend the winter holidays with Taehyung. He wants to hold Taehyung's hand forever. He wants to wake up next to Taehyung every morning. He wants to have someone to call his..."How long until you have to leave?" Jungkook asks."Don't worry about that for now. Let's pretend for one night that we aren't parting," Taehyung says, leaning in for a kiss.The moment Jungkook felt Taehyung's lips on his own felt like it was the first time. They break apart despite Jungkook's protests."You set this all up for me?" Jungkook asks, wiping his tears. He did this all for Jungkook even though there was a possibility he would not have shown up. He waited in the cold for Jungkook, and it made Jungkook's heart swelled."This might be the last time I ever see you, so I went all out," Taehyung explains, pecking Jungkook on the lips."I-I." Jungkook was choking up. He doesn't know if he wants to cry happy or sad tears."I brought marshmallows." Taehyung cheekily grins.They sat around a bonfire that Taehyung set up inside of a barrel, roasting marshmallows and talking like old times. Jungkook knows that this night can't last forever, but for now, in his mind it does.☕️"I have to head back," Taehyung speaks up. "I have a morning shift tomorrow. It's my last shift." Taehyung sighs."I can't believe it's happening," Jungkook says softly. Jungkook had already come to terms with it."Let's leave it as it is—a beautiful memory. I think we shouldn't keep in contact after this. Love takes time to heal when you are hurting this much.""It's too hard to let go..." Jungkook wipes a stray tear."Don't cry, baby. I'm sure someone else out there will come into your life and feel the void that I left. I'm just happy that I got to see you one last time before I leave." Taehyug hugs Jungkook."It can only be you." Jungkook shakes his head."Listen." Taehyung lifts Jungkook's head from his chin. "You will always be in my heart, but we have to move on, no matter how much it hurts.""No," Jungkook chokes, "I can't. I won't.""Jungkook...""Tae..."☕️Here he is again, crying in his bed instead of being in class. It doesn't help that one of his exams is when Taehyung leaves from the airport."I brought you some Christmas pudding," Jimin says, tapping on Jungkook's back through the covers. "They were serving it at the cafeteria.""I'm not hungry," Jungkook says, muffled into his pillow."Hey, I went out of my way to get this for you." Jimin pouts.Jungkook doesn't budge."Don't make me yank the covers off," Jimin warns."Fine!" Jungkook sits up. "I'm up. Thanks, Jimin," he says, grabbing the bowl of pudding."How was last night?" Jimin asks.Jungkook starts to sob again."Oops. Touchy topic?" Jimin asks."It was just too good to be true. Then it had to end. All good things come to an end..."Jimin sits down next to Jungkook and puts an arm around him."He told me not to contact him. He wants me to get over him... I'm never going to see him again."Jimin sighs. "I wouldn't say never. You never know what the future brings.""What do you mean?" Jungkook asks, taking a spoon full of the pudding."Interpret it however you want," Jimin says, standing up. "I'm going to head off to work now. Don't be too hard on yourself Jungkook."Jungkook watches Jimin leave and pouts. What does his future hold? Another three years of law school it seems.☕️

----- CHAPTER BREAK -----

Today Jungkook has his final exam for the semester. It is also the day Taehyung flies out to New York. He feels like he did enough study to get through the exam. The only problem was that Taehyung occupied his mind. Will Taehyung think of him? Will he miss him when he leaves?"Good luck on your exam," Jimin says, patting Jungkook on the back."Thanks, Jimin. I need it." He sighs and looks at the time. "I guess I will be off."He went through his notes over a hundred times. He should be fine. He just needs to zone out and forget about Taehyung for two hours. Two hours can't be hard, right?He makes his way to the exam. He spots Jiyeon and Minjae outside of the exam hall and waves."You made it on time!" Jiyeon shouts excitedly. "What is this? Character development."Jungkook laughs along with Jiyeon remembering the first time they talked. He smiles, thinking about all that they've been through. Jungkook doesn't think university would be the same without her. She had put so much joy into Jungkook's life."It's nice to see you are smiling again, Jungkook," Minjae says, putting an arm around the boy. "It's what you deserve after all you've done for me.""Guys! Save the sentimental stuff for after the exam. I don't want to be crying inside," Jungkook whines, trying to rid himself from Minjae's grip."Jungkook!" Beomgyu waves from a distance, making his way up to the three. "Are you ready for the exam?" He asks."Mentally and physically, no," Jungkook jokes. Wasn't sure if he was joking, though."Yeonjun wanted me to tell you good luck. He worries about you," Beomgyu says."I worry about me too sometimes." Jungkook chuckles. "Good luck to you as well Beomgyu.""Morning students," Seokjin says, walking up to the group. "I wish you all good luck on the exam.""Thanks, pro-" Jungkook stops himself. "Seokjin." Seokjin smiles at Jungkook and ruffles his hair. He then turns to Jiyeon and winks at her, catching Jungkook off guard.The four watch Seokjin walk into the hall."What was that?" Jungkook asks, looking suspiciously at Jiyeon.Jiyeon's face was red. "N-Nothing.""Doesn't seem like nothing to me." Minjae smirks."We should head in now," Beomgyu suggests.Jungkook walks into the exam room and places his bag out the front, making sure his phone was off. He didn't want it going off in the exam as it did back in high school.So far, everything was going smoothly. He found his exam paper and sat down. It's only for two hours. After this is over, he can go home and cry in bed again."You all have 10 minutes of reading time. Go through all the questions and make sure there are no misprints. Make sure to write your name and your student number on each page," Seokjin announces to the students. "After the reading time, you have two hours. If you want to leave early, you may in the last hour.""The last hour..." Jungkook whispers to himself. Taehyung's flight is in two hours. He is going to be gone... Gone forever.The exam has started, and Jungkook struggled to read through the text. He was reading the words, but the words weren't processing. They were just empty words with no meaning to Jungkook. What does this exam mean to him?His mind kept drifting off to Taehyung. He feels a horrible feeling in the pit of his stomach. What does Taehyung mean to him?Taehyung honestly meant everything to him. If he could, he would give up his life here and forget that he had three more years of law school. Unfortunately, it doesn't work that way."Wait..." Jungkook mutters to himself. Why can't he choose University over Taehyung? What was stopping him right now? Why did Jungkook choose University over Taehyung? He needs to see Taehyung now.He stands up abruptly, causing a few people to look over to him. Seokjin looks over with a questioning look. Jungkook forgot to put his hand up to excuse himself, so he awkwardly puts his hand up making Seokjin facepalm.He walks up to Seokjin and whispers, "I have to leave. Sorry."Seokjin nods. Jungkook feels like Seokjin knows where Jungkook is going."Just don't regret this after," Seokjin warns. "Good luck out there."Jungkook smiles at Seokjin and grabs his bag. He makes his way out of the examination hall and starts to run to the train station. He then thought maybe catching an uber will be faster, so he whips out his phone and types in the address for the airport. He waits impatiently for the uber to arrive. What gate will be leaving from? Jungkook has never been to the airport. All of this is happing too fast.The uber finally turns up and takes him to the airport. When he arrives at the airport, his eyes widen out how big and bustling the place is. "How the hell am I meant to find him here?!" Jungkook shouts to himself, stressed out.He looks at the time and notices he only has 20 minutes until Taehyung will be boarding. He starts to panic. What if he misses him?He makes his through security and gets chosen for a random bomb check. Jungkook sighs, lifting his arms so the man could scan his body."You look like you're in a rush boy," the man says, smiling at him."The love of my life is about to leave me, and I have to do something about it," Jungkook explains, wiping the sweat away from his forehead. It was so hot inside the airport."Young love," the man sighs, happily. "I admire you. You should always fight for love."Jungkook nods—he should fight for his love—love is worth fighting for. Taehyung is worth fighting for."Now off you go," the man says, giving him the okay signal.He walks over to the departures board and squints, trying to look for the next flight to New York. "Gate 7," Jungkook says to himself. "Where the hell is that?"He walks up to the service desk to ask for directions, "excuse me, do you know where gate 7 is?"The lady politely pointed him in the right direction, and he was on his way. He was half running through the airport to get to the gate one time. He checks the time, and he only had five more minutes.He sees the back of Taehyung's head. The gate said boarding now, and Jungkook starts to panic as he sees Taehyung walk further down the line. "Taehyung!" Jungkook shouts, trying his hardest to reach the gate on time. Jungkook sees Taehyung's body freeze up, but he doesn't turn around. Jungkook calls out again, begging in his head for Taehyung to turn around and run to him.Tears rolled down his eyes as he watches Taehyung's figure disappear into the distance. Why didn't he turn around?He tries to push through the line but is stopped by the air hostess. "Ticket please," she says, scanner in her hand."I don't have one. I just need to talk to someone quickly." Jungkook was desperate. He will barge through if needed."No ticket, no entry. I'm sorry, sir.""You don't understand! I need to get on that plane!" Jungkook shouts, trying push through but is stopped again."Don't make me call security," the girl threatens.Jungkook falls on to his knees and starts to sob. "Taehyung..."He was gone. He didn't even turn around. He will never get to see his beautiful face again, feel his warm embrace, tell him over and over again that he loves him.Jungkook felt like the world was spinning. What was he expecting? Taehyung to run back into his arms and miss his flight?The air hostess kneels to Jungkook's level and hands him a tissue. Jungkook thanks the lady and starts to dry up his tears, the only problem was that they kept reappearing. This world is cruel.☕️
One week later
He did a lot of thinking about what happened at the airport. Taehyung had not replied to any of his messages. He knows that he said not to stay in contact after that night on the rooftop, but Jungkook thought that was too hard for him. He spent most of the week locked in his room bawling his eyes out, but today is different. Jungkook had decided to pull himself together.Jungkook got in a lot of trouble for ditching his exam. His mother ranted on for a good hour about how irresponsible it was for him to go and do that. Seokjin managed to pull some strings with the school and allow him to resit the exam. Jungkook is forever grateful for that."Are you ready?" Yeonjun asks, wheeling his suitcase towards Jungkook—today they head off to the dance trip. Yeonjun had been selling chocolates all year just to come. He managed to drag Jimin and Jungkook along on the trip.Jungkook nods, putting his backpack on. "I will call an uber.""It says we are boarding at 3," Jimin points out.Jungkook had to mentally prepare himself visiting the airport again after what happened. He wishes his flight was to see Taehyung.For now, he is going to step back and reevaluate his life. The next time Jungkook faces Taehyung, he will be a new and improved version of himself. He will be the one begging to take Jungkook back. Just wait and see. "Taehyung, you're mine."☕️

----- CHAPTER BREAK -----

Three Years Later
Jungkook was on the train with Jimin. He had just graduated and decided to go back to his hometown for the holidays. Jungkook invited Jimin since he wanted to visit his hometown and meet his mother properly. Over the years Jungkook had become very close with Jimin. If it weren't for him, he would not have survived the last three years without Taehyung."They have coffee on the last carriage. Do you want me to grab you something?" Jimin asks."A long black please," Jungkook says, smiling up at Jimin."I'll be back," Jimin says, walking off to the next carriage.Jungkook had started drinking long blacks again. He had grown to love the taste of coffee. It was one of the things that reminded him of Taehyung. He was addicted to it like a drug. The memory of Taehyung was his drug. His caffeine.He ended up taking Taehyung's spot in the cafe, gaining experience for himself. Namjoon and Jisu happily took him in, and he got to work with Jimin and Jiyeon on a daily basis.He would stay back to have alone time with the coffee machine, knowing that Taehyung was once there. He felt like he could feel his presence when he was alone in the cafe. Jimin always thought he was weird, but Jungkook didn't care. Namjoon let him take the closing shifts most of the time."I nearly burnt myself carrying your coffee," Jimin whines, placing down the coffee in front of Jungkook. "I don't know how you can drink strong coffee like that without any sugar.""I don't know what you're on about. It's good," Jungkook says nonchalantly, taking a sip out of the coffee."How do you drink it right away?! Doesn't it burn?" Jimin asks."It's like the perfect temperature.""You sound like an elderly who asks for an extra hot flat white but when they mean extra hot they mean boiling just to feel some form of feeling," Jimin teases."At least I don't have cavities from all the sugar you put in yours." Jungkook scoffs."It's needed to hide the horrible taste of coffee," Jimin explains. "It's like you actually think I drink coffee for leisure and not to keep myself awake."Jungkook rolls his eyes."You know, I'm going to miss this," Jimin says, sighing."Miss what?""Us. Just hanging out. Seeing you every day," Jimin explains, stirring the sugar that has piled up on the bottom of his coffee cup.Jungkook smiles up at Jimin. "Me too."The train eventually reaches its destination, and Jungkook's mother greets the two."Jungkook you're home!" She shouts, running up to hug him."Hey mum," Jungkook says, patting her back. He removes himself from her embrace to introduce Jimin. "This is Jimin.""I've heard so much about you!" She gushes, hugging Jimin. She then gets a better look at him and starts to fawn, "such a dashing young lad you are."Jimin smiles awkwardly with a slight blush on his cheeks, not sure how to reply to her compliment."I make you two a feast when we get home," she announces, leading them to the car."Don't listen to anything mum says," Jungkook whispers into Jimin's ear. "Everything she says about me will be an exaggeration."Jimin grins cheekily. "So, Mrs.Jeon, tell me some childhood stories of Jungkookie here.""Aww! You two are so cute. Making up names for each other," she gushes. "When Jungkook was young he-""Mum!" Jungkook intercepts before anything embarrassing gets revealed.Jungkook's mother turns to Jimin and whispers, "I will tell you after."☕️Jungkook was happy to be home. It had been four years since he came back to his hometown. So much has changed, yet it felt the same. The air was always fresher out here. When he got off the train, he took a deep breath and smiled like he hadn't smiled in a long time.Jimin was helping Jungkook's mum set the table while Jungkook lazed around. His mum ended up inviting the whole family and all her friends. Everyone had fallen in love with Jimin, and it made Jungkook low key jealous for stealing his thunder. It was meant to be his grand return, and all people cared about was who this mysterious man that he brought over."Jungkook, You sure know how to pick them," his cousin Yein says, staring at Jimin in awe."Excuse me?" Jungkook looks at Yein confused."Your taste in men," she explains."Oh," Jungkook's eyes widen. "No, you have the wrong idea. We are-""When your mum told me you got a guy I didn't expect him to be this attractive," Yein cuts him off."No, you don't understand." Jungkook frowns.Jimin comes up from behind and startles Jungkook with a hug. He rests his chin on Jungkook's shoulder and says, "Your mum told me all about that time you hugged a stranger thinking it was her, and you cried all day after it."Yein looks at the two, smirking.Jungkook releases himself from Jimin's grip and pouts. "It's not what it looks like," Jungkook says to Yein."What?" Jimin asks, confused. "It's exactly what it looks like?""You're not helping Jimin!" Jungkook snaps, crossing his arms. Jungkook was mad that his mother told everyone about him and Tae, but Yein thinks the guy is Jimin."I will let you two have some privacy," she says, winking at them. Jungkook facepalms as she walks away."Oh, that is what she meant," Jimin dumbfoundingly says, with a goofy smile on his face."Everyone thinks we are dating." Jungkook sighs.Jimin laughs. "If only they knew."His mother calls everyone to the dining table and starts a toast, raising her wine glass into the air "My lovely son has recently graduated from law school, and I am beyond proud of him. Ever since he was little, I just knew he would grow up well and make us all proud.""Mum..." Jungkook mutters.Jimin puts his hand onto Jungkook's knee for comfort, knowing what was going through his mind.She continues, "Your dad would be so proud of you right now.""Mum, I-""A toast to Jungkook's return." She lifts her glass smiling from cheek to cheek, and so does everyone else on the table.Jungkook takes a deep breath.       "I'm moving to New York."    *Glass shattering* "W-What?" She stutters."I'm moving to New York," he repeats."What do you mean you are moving to New York?" Her face had turned pale. "For a holiday?""No mum, I'm going to live in New York and pursue my true passion," Jungkook says, voice turning shaky. He tried to sound stern and confident, but he wasn't expecting his mother to react this way. He wishes he could tell her at a better time instead of in front of everyone. The whole table went silent, too scared to comment."No," She says sternly, her fists clenched. "I won't let you do this.""Can we calm down and talk about this?" Jungkook tries to ease the situation."Are you kidding me, Jungkook?! Is this some sick joke?!" She yells across the table. "You can't just throw four years of your life out the window just for some guy!"Jungkook was taken aback by that statement—he didn't mention anything about Taehyung—he felt personally attacked.He stands up and excuses himself to his bedroom, slamming the door behind him. Tears start to roll down his cheeks. Why does everything have to have a boundary? He can't take it anymore. He needs to escape.He hears a knock on the door and Jimin's voice asking if he was okay, but he doesn't budge."If you don't answer I will barge in," Jimin threatens.*Silence*"Don't make me do it," he warns again.Jungkook sighs and walks up to the door to open it. He opens it and lets Jimin in. "Sorry for making a scene.""It's fine Jungkook," Jimin says, motioning for Jungkook to come closer so he could hug the boy.Jungkook wraps his arms around Jimin and sobs. "I'm sorry for ruining your trip here. It must have been awkward out there after that.""Jungkook, stop apologising. You did nothing wrong okay," Jimin says, rubbing circles onto his back, trying to comfort the boy."I just don't understand. Why doesn't she want me to be happy?" Jungkook sobs."Jungkook... In her eyes, she is trying her hardest as a mother to make you happy. She just doesn't see the big picture and thinks she knows what is best for you. She doesn't want to see you unhappy. I promise.""It's just hard to see that." Jungkook wipes his tears onto his sleeve. "I need to stop crying so much. That's all I've been doing the past three years."Jimin chuckles lightheartedly. "Do you want me to talk to her?" Jimin asks."No. I don't want to drag you any further into this mess," Jungkook says, removing himself from Jimin's arms.The night goes on as nothing happened. His mother carried on, and Jungkook had little contact with her. It comes night time, and Jungkook was starting to feel sleepy."Your room is so charming. A stereotypical teenage boy's room," Jimin points out, looking at all the posters on the wall and his extensive collection of figurines."Mum has kept my room the same for the last four years. She told me she cleaned it once a week and sometimes just sits in here because she missed me." Jungkook smiles, thinking about her."You really do love your mum," Jimin says as a statement rather than a question.Jungkook sighs. "I really do. It hurts that this is happening, but there is not much I can do. I've already made up my mind.""I will always support you Jungkook. Whatever makes you happy makes me happy.""I love you, Jimin," Jungkook confesses."I love you too, Jungkook." Jimin smiles. "But in a platonic way." The two laugh, happy to have each other in their lives.☕️Jungkook gathers his courage and walks up to his mother with his diploma. He hands it over to his mother and says, "here, this is yours."His mother holds the diploma confused and looks up to Jungkook for answers."This is what you wanted, so I'm going to give it to you," Jungkook explains."Jungkook..." She starts to tear up."I don't have a need for it anymore. I did what you wanted me to do all these years, so I'm finally going to live for myself."She lets out a sob and hugs the boy, making Jungkook gasp in shock. "I'm so sorry, Jungkook.""S-Sorry?" Jungkook mutters, confused."I should have listened to you. I'm so sorry," she apologises. "I wanted the best for you and was blind to what you actually wanted. I thought you were happy all this time, but I was dead wrong. I'm a horrible mother, and I don't deserve you.""Don't say that! You are far from the truth. You have loved me unconditionally and provided for me my entire life. You didn't choose to have me; I know that. Even so, you welcomed me into your life with love, and I've never once felt that you were a horrible mother." Jungkook's eyes were starting to get teary again."I'm sorry for reacting the way I did. The thought of you growing up and making your own decisions scared me. I was scared to lose you," she confesses.Jungkook hugs his mother tighter. He isn't crying sad tears anymore—he is crying happy tears."If moving to New York is what you want, I will support it. Just don't forget to call me, okay?""I promise."She ruffles his hair and smiles. "I love you.""I love you too, mum."☕️After a fourteen-hour flight, he had finally arrived in New York. He waits at the baggage terminal for his suitcase. He felt groggy but excited. Going through customs was harder than he thought. He was glad that he paid attention in English during school otherwise he would we be doomed.He sees his red suitcase come through on the red conveyer belt and waits for it to go past him. He grabs it and checks the tag, making sure that it was indeed his suitcase. He looks at his phone to check the time. It was 9 am ,and he wanted a coffee. He walks up to one of the cafes inside of the airport and orders himself a coffee. The barista was super kind to him as Jungkook tried to explain the difference between an Americano and a Long black. They were essentially the same thing except in an americano the coffee shot is extracted first with hot water being poured on top—where the long black is hot water with the coffee shot extracted on top. Pouring hot water onto the coffee shot burns the coffee and gives it a more bland, bitter taste.He walks out of the airport terminal with his coffee and suitcase with optimism on his mind. It was time to start a new chapter in his life. His past is not holding him back. Jungkook felt free.☕️

----- CHAPTER BREAK -----

It had been three months since he had moved to New York. He had been auditioning for multiple dance agencies, but so far he had not received an offer. He managed to snag a job at a Korean restaurant, waiting tables at night so he could stay on top of his rent. He was expecting the high cost of living here, but he was still shocked by how hard it was to keep up. He had to commute to work every night. Jungkook never complained, though because he chose this life.He opens up his fridge, hoping to find something to eat but gets disappointed and sighs. His fridge was basically empty. Jungkook feels like he will go insane if he has instant noodles again.Jungkook opens up his wallet and frowns. He almost has nothing. He has enough to buy one meal and maybe something small. He can't use any money in his bank since it is all going to his rent.Jungkook decided on going out to the convenience store so he could find something to eat. One thing he loved about New York City was the chaotic ambience. He loved the sound of traffic and sirens. It made him feel not alone.The convenience store is a short walk from his shabby apartment in Harlem. He was always fascinated by the graffiti on every corner and alleyway. He regularly films dance covers in front of them to put on his resume.He walks through the door into the convenience store, greeting the store clerk. He was a regular, and the store clerk knew his name and what he usually orders. He grabs a sandwich off the sandwich rack and cup of make it yourself instant coffee. He needs to wake up before his shift tonight. He didn't manage to get much sleep after his shift last night, so caffeine is necessary right now.He hands over the cash to the store clerk and waits for his receipt. He retrieves the change and walks over to the instant coffee machine. He presses black coffee lazily and waits for the coffee to drip into his cup, sighing. It would be nice if he could have a proper cup of coffee again. If only he could afford it.He bids the store clerk farewell and walks back to his apartment, eating his sandwich on the way. After a while, these sandwiches started to lose flavour. He had been getting the same one for the last three months.It was not long till he was at the Korean restaurant, serving drunk people more and more alcohol and cleaning up vomit. The pay wasn't that great, and he gets treated like shit, but he does what he has to do to get by.Sometimes he thinks about how he and Taehyung were breathing the same air and living in the same city, but they still haven't managed to bump into each other. Jungkook didn't have Taehyung's new number so he couldn't just message him to meet up. He has felt like giving up on the chance of ever seeing him again.Not long ago, that was all he thought about. He pestered Seokjin every day, asking him about Taehyung's whereabouts. It turns out that Taehyung and Seokjin had lost contact after he left. Seokjin told him that Taehyung cut himself off from everyone. It makes him sad just thinking about it. He wonders if he really did take over his father's company.Jungkook has to admit; it does get lonely here all by himself. Jimin had promised to visit at least once a year so that's something he can look forward to."Two more soju bottle," a man shouts from across the room. "Hey! What's taking so long?!"Jungkook rolls his eyes and grabs two soju bottles from the fridge and walks over to the table, placing them down. The guy then proceeds to grope Jungkook's ass, making him jolt."You have a nice ass for a guy," the guy snickers, giving one more slap to his ass.Jungkook tried his hardest not to scowl at the guy and just ignore."Oi, pretty. Have you had a man before?"Jungkook was close to tears. He was done from all the abuse he had to take working here. If he told his boss, he would scold him for lousy customer service. His boss was truly evil. Jungkook didn't think he would have to experience having a terrible boss, but here he is. He tells himself that it's all worth it in the end. He needs the money to survive.He looks the man in the eyes and opens his mouth to speak, "No, sir. If you don't mind me, I need to serve other tables," Jungkook says, winking at the guy. He hopes on getting a fat tip from him.As the night ends, he counts the tips that he received. Tonight was a better night than usual. He thinks tomorrow is going to be the first day in a long time that he will treat himself.☕️He forces himself out of bed early. He could hear the bustling of the city and the birds chirping. Jungkook had decided to dedicate his day off to himself. He wants to find a cafe to sit at and people watch. He misses the atmosphere.He made his way to a popular shopping street full of cafes, boutiques, and clothes stores. There was a charming bookstore that caught his eye which happened to have a cafe inside of it. He walked around the bookstore, browsing their collection. He grabs a book that caught his attention. 'A Note to Myself'. He was hooked already just by reading the blurb on the back.He purchases the book and walks to the cafe side to order a coffee. He greets the barista and asks for the strongest coffee they had."You look more like a latte kind of dude," the barista replies, making Jungkook smile. He remembers when Taehyung told him something similar back in the day. He sighs happily.He looks up at the barista and smiles. "I get that a lot actually."The barista shoots him a charming smile and asks for his name."Jungkook is the name," Jungkook happily answers.He watches the barista write his name with hearts—Jungkook sighs. Sure, the barista was cute, but it wasn't the same connection he had with Taehyung."One cup of the strongest coffee we have for Jungkook," the barista cheekily says, making Jungkook chuckle."What is your name if you don't mind me asking?" Jungkook sure had changed since the very first time he ordered coffee. Taehyung would be proud of him."Bogum, Park Bogum is the name," he says, smiling. His gums showed as he smiled."Nice to meet you," Jungkook says, grabbing his coffee and walking over to a table that looked inviting.He relaxes in his seat and opens up his newly bought book. He thought to himself that he could get used to this. He might just come here more often... If he can afford it.☕️"Yes mum," Jungkook lazily talks into the phone."Make sure you are eating properly. If you need money, I can send you some through," his mum says, worried over her son."I'm fine. You don't need to worry about me," he assures. His mum would call every two days, and they would have the same conversation each time. He loves his mum to death, but sometimes it could be a bit tedious. Especially when he barely got any sleep. "Anyways, I have to head off to work." He accepted a day shift today because he wanted the extra cash."Okay... I love you," she says, sobbing over the phone."I love you too," he says before hanging up the phone.He made his way to the subway. As usual, the train was packed. He had gotten used to the full trains now. It used to fascinate him, but now he just finds it to be burdening.He hears a familiar voice nearby and thinks maybe that he was daydreaming again. The voice sounded like Taehyung's. His voice started to get clearer, and Jungkook snapped his head towards the source just as the train doors open. He sees what he thinks could be Taehyung's head and freezes. There is no way that could be him.The head started to leave the train, and Jungkook panicked. He pushed through the people blocking the train door to chase after the boy."Taehyung!" Jungkook shouts as he lost where the boy went. People were giving him funny looks, but Jungkook didn't care. He has to find him.He spots the head again and runs through the crowd to catch up with him. Jungkook taps on his shoulder, making him turn around to look at Jungkook."Can I help you?" The guy asks, face looking nothing like Taehyung's.Jungkook's heart shatters right then and there. He was hearing and seeing things. "I'm sorry," Jungkook apologises. "I thought you were someone else."The guy walks off, continuing with his day as Jungkook stands in the crowd, lonely.He grabs his phone to call in sick for work. He doesn't feel up for it anymore. He can't work feeling like this.He notices that he is close to the cafe—he needs some cheering up; he needs caffeine.Why does he feel like this? He was feeling fine without him. Because of that, now all he can think about is Taehyung. He thought he was making process on healing his heavy heart.The door felt heavier than usual in the cafe. The scent of coffee hits his senses, but it still doesn't lift his mood. He curses because he forgot the book that he bought last time. He can't have everything he guesses."What can I get for y-" He hears a familiar voice crack. Now he was really going insane. He hears Taehyung's voice everywhere he goes."J-Jungkook?" The voice asks, snapping Jungkook out of his daze.Jungkook looks up. His eyes lock with the barista. He rubs his eyes, not believing what was in front of him. Jungkook pinches himself. This isn't happening. Is he dreaming?"Taehyung?" Taehyung rips off his apron and swiftly rushes to the other side of the counter, swooping Jungkook into a hug. Jungkook freezes."I-I..."Taehyung puts a finger to Jungkook's lips, hushing the boy. Taehyung leans his face closer to Jungkook's, closing the gap between them into a passionate yet tender kiss. Jungkook never thought he would feel those lips on his ever again. Jungkook started to cry a mixture of sad and happy tears.Taehyung wipes Jungkook's tears with his thumb. "You came for me.""I-I didn't think I would ever see you again," Jungkook says, in between sobs.Taehyung leans in for another kiss."There hasn't been a day where I haven't thought about you," Taehyung confesses."You... You idiot!" Jungkook shouts, hitting Taehyung's chest. "You have no idea how hard I tried to find you!"Taehyung pulls Jungkook closer, into an embrace."You horrible, horrible person," Jungkook sobs, leaning into his embrace. It felt way too damn good to be in his arms again."I'm sorry baby. I will never leave you again," he says, kissing Jungkook's forehead. "It was the biggest mistake of my life."Jungkook sobs softly into Taehyung's arms."I wanted to reach out but I couldn't bring myself to do so after hurting you," Taehyung explains. "I didn't feel like I had the right to be with you.""Don't say that," Jungkook cries."I'm sorry baby," Taehyung says, rubbing circles on Jungkook's back."I forgive you," Jungkook mumbles into Taehyung's chest."So... are you going to take our orders?" A customer asks, breaking the two out of their trance.Jungkook blushes hard, looking at the line that formed behind them, waiting for their order to be taken."Well, this is awkward..." Taehyung chuckles. He gives Jungkook one last kiss. "I will make you a coffee baby."Jungkook shyly smiles and nods."Don't go anywhere. I'm taking you out for dinner after my shift," Taehyung warns, making the younger smile widely. "There is so much I have to tell you.""Only if you pay."☕️
