nineteen.

only a few inches away. long lashes, a mole on his nose. pretty plump lips. honey skin, blond curls. the sun making him glow like pure gold. an arm under the cheek, the other loosely over his waist.

Taehyung was the first thing Jungkook saw that morning. his eyes grew wide, his cheeks warm and red. oh god. how did he even get here? he quickly closed his eyes as he felt the other waking up. the arm around Jungkook's waist was removed in a heartbeat. the weight on the bed shifted and only a few moments later the click of the bedroom door was heard.

Jungkook opened his eyes again. let out the air he had been holding the entire time. he shot up from the bed, rubbed his eyes, ruffled his hair. what in the world had just happened?

the younger had thought his memories from last night were nothing but imagination, a hallucination, a fever dream. but his morning view only confirmed it. he and Taehyung had cuddled. oh god.

as he walked down the stairs he found Taehyung in the kitchen making coffee. the older hadn't noticed him yet. so Jungkook sat down on one of the barstools at the counter and watched the other's moves. snowball jumped on his lap purring - demanding for some cuddles, while cat was rubbing around Taehyung's legs. that the older was slightly startled when he caught sight of Jungkook, did not go unnoticed by the other.

"uhm ... good morning - coffee?"

the younger saw the awkward smile on the other's lips while he took the mug from Taehyung's hands. he turned around to make a second cup.

"i heard there's supposed to be a meteorite shower tonight - wanna go stargazing?"

Jungkook bit the inside of his cheek. so he acted like nothing had happened? not a word about asking him to stay in the middle of the night? nothing about cuddling? he hesitated with his answer. cleared his throat.

"sure."

they met up again at midnight on the back porch. used Taehyung's blanket to sit on and Jungkook's to wrap themselves in. it was only when the younger started to shiver, that Taehyung would scoot closer and put his arm around his shoulder. it was nice but there was this awkwardness surrounding them.

Jungkook glanced to the side only to see the older already looking at him. his cheeks burned up.

"you missed the shooting star."

"what did you wish for?"

when Jungkook turned his head to the side, Taehyung was still looking at him. not once taking his eyes off him. the younger could feel the heat crawling up his neck.

"i can't say."

it was only a whisper. barely loud enough for the other to hear. he gulped. noticed how the older was staring at his lips. and how he couldn't help but stare at his too.

he closed his eyes, the moment they were connected. soft and tender. it felt unreal when he got to taste the sweet flavor of Taehyung's lips. was he dreaming?

the sensation Jungkook felt came to an end rather quickly. the older pulled back with a fearful look on his face. jumped up, rambled something about having to go, ran inside the house and right back out the front door. leaving behind a more than confused Jungkook, with the sweetest blush on his cheeks.
