     "Sorry I took so long," began Jungkook as he walked in with two boxes of pizza and some soda. "It got real crowded and they messed up my order twice." He chuckled with a shake of his head.

Jeongguk didn't say anything, having his longer locks back in a small hair tie. Some hair still fell since all of his hair wasn't long enough to be pulled back.

"Okay then," Jungkook walked in and set the food down on the table, looking over at his brother who refused to look back at him. "Where's Taehyung?" He questioned, not seeing the aforementioned anywhere.

Silence.

Jungkook frowned, crossing his arms over his chest. He looked over Jeongguk and noticed he was in new clothes and hair was still damp. "Did you shower again? What, feel dirty still after the game?"

"No, I let my feelings control what I did." Jeongguk finally answered, a voice crack at the end of his spoken words.

"Feelings control? What you did, as in already did?" Jungkook cocked an eyebrow. "Is Taehyung okay? We don't have to hide a body or whatever, right?"

Jeongguk gave a scowl, shaking his head. He gave a glare in his brother's direction, looking annoyed as ever but it wasn't a new look on Jeongguk. "I fucked him."

Jungkook was taken aback, stunned by the sudden confession. His lips were parted and pursed at the same time, eyes a bit wide. He didn't know what he could say as a response, not even sure if he heard what his brother just said to him.

Jeongguk huffed and looked down, shaking his head. He was ashamed of himself. Not because he slept with Taehyung but because he allowed his emotions take control of what he was doing and dictate how he handled the situation.

"I think I'd rather we have to hide a body but . . . Why? Don't you hate him?" Jungkook was baffled.

"I never hated him, Kook. I mean, I don't like him, I really don't, but I got to mad at him." Jeongguk told. "So fucking mad at him and he actually spoke back, yelled at me and started to hurt my feelings." He kept his eyes down on his lap. "He said we didn't satisfy him and that . . ." He let out a gush of air from his nose, a smile and a weak chuckle making itself aware but it was so pained. "He said he wish he cheated sooner."

Jungkook saw how his twin brother was trying to conceal how hurt the comment made him by laughing it off. He pushed his lips in a taut line.

"I was so hooked up on what he was saying and proving him wrong sounded like it was the perfect thing to do." Jeongguk wrapped his arms around himself, still not looking up. "I know, I'm a dumbass."

"Woah, hold on," Jungkook went over and sat by his brother. "You're not a dumbass, Gguk. You can act like one but everyone can. We all have once or twice let our emotions control what we do, everyone has. No one is perfect and we can't expect to be perfect in situations that beat us down."

"Stop being so philosophical on me, I don't need to be lectured." Jeongguk pushed to his feet and began to walk to the kitchen to grab some plates and cups. Jungkook decided to follow.

"I'm not being philosophical, I'm trying to just make sure you understand that what you did isn't the worst thing you could've done." Jungkook answered.

Jeongguk spared a look over his shoulder before looking up at the cabinets, pulling it open. "Didn't you say you rather find a dead body up in my room?"

"He's up in your room?"

"Not the point, Jungkook." Jeongguk responded and pulled the plates and cups down.

"I'm just saying, I just wanted to make a joke, lighten this up." Jungkook claimed, walking back into the living room. "Should I go see if he wants anything to eat?"
