【 Jungkook 】

As more days passed by, one would've assumed that the two of you would being keeping a distance from one other and possibly even going as far as avoiding each other altogether— however, why did it feel like almost the exact opposite seemed to be happening right now?

Maybe you were imagining things, and it would probably sound somewhat delusional if you were to say this out loud, but might you even dare to say it felt like Taehyung almost purposely had been trying to find excuses to make eye contact with you?

Whether it was finding ways to make your eyes meet his during your shared classes, or how you'd begin to notice him always sitting at a table close to yours during lunch
- which coincidentally always happened to have him facing towards you

Or just the tense eye contact the two of you would share as you would meet each other in the hallway, purposely bumping shoulders and uttering soft curses whenever you would pass by each other.

In a sense, it naturally felt a bit odd given how harshly Taehyung had stated that you shouldn't contact- nor get addicted to him; hah, as if that would ever happen. But it felt all the more ironic seeing as to how he currently seemed to be the one practically breaking his own rules— which you quite frankly didn't mind a whole lot since it felt good knowing at least you had been able to stick to your word. Now all you could hope was that Taehyungs actions wouldn't cause you any trouble with his girlfriend, though you highly doubt that would be the case.

A soft hum emitted past your lips as you were currently heading towards the library to get some self-study done in preparations for a few upcoming exams; the peaceful and nearly empty hallways visibly darkening as you knew the sunset was setting in.

However, the peaceful moment unfortunately didn't last long, as you suddenly felt a tight grip around your arm which swiftly pulled you into a dimly light lecture hall, your breath hitching in surprise while you tried to comprehend what was happening

The door swiftly slammed shut behind you as you were harshly pushed up against a nearby wall, almost knocking the air out of your lungs which made you mutter out a soft curse under your breath as you glanced up at the culprit guilty of disrupting your peace.

Jungkook: What the hell is your problem Kim Taehyung?

A silence fell between the two of you as he briefly glanced at you before once again looking away, letting out a frustrated groan whilst running his fingers through his hair slowly, and you couldn't help but let out a huff of annoyance whilst looking up at him in disbelief— trying to figure out just what was going through his head, yet to no avail

Jungkook: Good, if you've got nothing to say then I'm leaving. And don't pull this bullshit stunt again Kim, I'm not in the mood to help you practice whatever imaginary movie you're playing in your head.

However just as you reached out to grab ahold of the doorknob and leave, you felt a tight grip grab ahold of the collar of your shirt before once again harshly being pinned back against the wall by the man in front of you. His eyes deeply staring into your own as his facial expression remained unreadable, yet his eyes felt like they were asking millions of questions all at the same time, leaving you in a complete state of utter confusion

After a little while, he finally let out a deep frustrated sigh as his eyes never left yours

Taehyung: ...Are you wearing contacts?

A soft chuckle left your lips as you subtly rolled your eyes at his remark, a mild sense of irritation now starting to bubble up while you glared up at him

Jungkook: Why is that any of your business Kim?

He huffed as he muttered out a low ''Just answer the damn question...'', still keeping you tightly pinned against the wall as if he was afraid you'd escape

Jungkook: Well if you really need me to answer something so blatantly obvious, then yes I am. Now answer me this, why the fuck are you doing this? What the hell is it to you Kim?

Another painfully frustrating silence fell heavy between the two of you as you waited for him to give some form of a reply, but to no one's surprise, he once again only remained silent. Needless to say, you couldn't keep quiet anymore as you finally let your frustration break the silence

Jungkook: Seriously I don't understand you what's so ever, you can't keep saying one thing and then do the complete opposite. You were the one who made it very clear to me that you have a girlfriend and that you don't want me to come looking for you! So what the actual fuck are you doing Kim Taehyung? I don't know why you are-

Suddenly something finally seemed to snap in Taehyung, as he suddenly cut you off— finally seeming to reveal what was on his mind

Taehyung: BECAUSE I WANT TO SEE YOUR REAL EYES AGAIN, DAMIT JEON JUNGKOOK!

The both of you looked equally as surprised by his sudden outburst, and you found yourself struggling to properly process his words which resulted in you only being unable to whisper out anything but a soft ''What..?''— earning another sigh from his before he spoke up once again, only this time more hesitantly as his voice now sounded like a mere whisper

Taehyung: F-Fuck, okay listen— your eyes just look really cool when you look at me idiot... The rainbow swirl that appears is so mesmerizing I— ugh fucking hell just stop wearing the contacts already

Your breath hitched softly as you felt quite taken back by his unexpected words, though you also couldn't but let a smirk find its way onto your lips while you spoke in a taunting tone

Jungkook: Why, did you get addicted to me after all Kim?

This remark immediately earned a look of surprise from the older, shortly followed by an annoyed huff as he muttered out a low ''Fuck off Jeon, don't use my words against me''— only making another breathy chuckle emit past your lips while you pushed past him, though you somehow found yourself unable to look him in the eyes anymore as your heart uncomfortably stuttered a bit in front of him; likely caused by the sense of surprise which still lingered.

Jungkook: Either way, I won't stop wearing them. I don't want people knowing I'm a mono, which is a stupid problem you'd never understand Kim.

Yet another brief silence filled the room while he ran his fingers through his hair nervously, and you gently rubbed your arm in an attempt to soothe your own nerves a bit— eventually bringing yourself to look up at the older once again when he finally broke the silence

Taehyung: Okay listen, let's make a deal...

Jungkook: A deal...?

He nodded slowly before continuing his explanation

Taehyung: Let's say we meet up to study together every now and then somewhere private, I'll let you use me to see colors for your assignments, and in return, I get to see your eyes without contacts... And while we're at it we could study for the exams together, as I hate to admit but... Your theoretical subject knowledge does outshine mine a bit... I guess?

A soft giggle escaped past your lips before you mumbled out a soft ''Good that you know...''— you then hummed as you genuinely found yourself considering his suggestion, and after carefully thinking it through you did what any sane person in your position would do...

Jungkook: Fine, let's try.

... Okay maybe not a sane person per se, but somehow this perfect mixture for chaos just felt far too intriguing to say no to.
