PLAY ON- Taekook

(TRIGGER WARNING: homophobic slurs)

I stormed into my dorm, Jaehyun jumping at my sudden and rather aggressive entrance. Jackson ran out of his room, half naked with a towel around his waist.

"There's nothing to rob here!-" He held out a shampoo bottle as a weapon, his hair and body dripping with soap and water. The soap was clearly all over his eyes, hence why he ran out with his eyes closed. I chuckled quietly, the two idiots I called my best friends immediately lifting my mood. Deciding to play along and mess with him since he couldn't see me, I deepened my voice

"Hands above your heads! Give me all your devices!" I yelled at Jackson whom immediately dropped his shampoo bottle and raised his hands above his head with a whimper. Jaehyun's hand flew onto his mouth as he tried to contain his laughter. I chuckled once more, grabbing the shampoo bottle from underneath him and smacking him across the head with it.

"It's me, Jungkook." I handed him a towel from the kitchen and he quickly wiped the soap from his eyes.

"Jungkook you are so dead." Jackson growled as he jumped on top of me.

"Jackson you're all wet! Get off me" I laughed as I pushed him off, running to the couch. Jackson grabbed the towel I handed him and dried his hair off.

"What's with the dramatic entrance that almost gave me a heart attack?" Jaehyun asked as the two of us sat on the couch.

"Oh. That." I had forgotten about all of that for a few minutes. I filled them in on everything that happened, starting from the night Taehyung slept at my house up until what happened no longer than an hour ago.

"So he called me an asshole and went back inside"

"Holy shit." Jaehyun sighed, leaning back on the couch "Then what happened?"

"Nothing. I came back here."

"You just left him there with two rapists? Are you insane?" Jackson stood up abruptly, disbelief on his face.

"They wouldn't try anything with all the attention on them." I sighed as I felt my eyelids grow heavier "I'm going to bed, see you guys tomorrow."

"Alright, Goodnight." "'Night" The two of them said in together.

A week had passed and Taehyung and I still hadn't spoken, only bumping into each other every once in a while on campus. Both of us had too much pride to apologize to the other.
Taehyung didn't know the entire truth, and I knew that wasn't fair, but I tried to tell him that day and he blew me off. So who's problem was that?

The tournament we had against the Busan University was coming up soon and we had a team practice session scheduled for today. I made my way onto the field, stopping to greet the coach.

"Hey Coach." I flashed him a bright smile.

"Ah, hello Jungkook. I was just looking for you." Just then, Taehyung walked up behind me, handing him a clipboard. "Thank you Taehyung, i'm sorry for troubling you." The coach smiled at him. Taehyung noticed me standing there and rolled his eyes before turning around, about to walk away. I scoffed, crossing my arms and turning back to face the coach.

"Wait. Stay here, I wanted to talk to you two about something." Mr park quickly stopped him and Taehyung huffed in return, stopping in his tracks. "I'm sorry I haven't checked up on you guys sooner, how's training going?"

"It's been fine." I replied flatly.

"I'm gonna need more information than 'fine' Jungkook. Has Taehyung improved?"
