Stay.

Chapter 5

the next day, taehyung had work so he kissed jungkook goodbye before walking out the door early in the morning. he trusted jungkook enough to leave him alone at his own apartment. god, his friends would think he's insane if they came to know of this. but he doesn't care, because no one will ever understand what he has with jungkook, so he will keep whatever it is that they have between him and jungkook only.

work was easy and taehyung's day went by fast. he had a couple of things he needed to finish before his lunch break. so when that came around, he saw many text messages from jungkook.

jungkookie:
tae
taehyungie
what's taking so long
your work takes all your time
what is left for me
you don't love me anymore 💔
all men do is lie

taehyung couldn't help but laugh as he read jungkook's words, then he replied, 'jeez has anyone told you how clingy & needy you are before? i've only been gone for 4 hours'

jungkookie:
i'm gonna pretend i believe that you don't like how clingy i am
and what's wrong with being needy? you give me attention and i deserve the attention so i'll definitely take it, tyvm
but idc 4 hours mean there are 2 hours left
2 hours mean i am gonna cry alone in your apartment
all i know is pain

another laugh came out from taehyung. he loved this. he loved that no matter what, no matter if he's feeling good or not, jungkook can always make him laugh. even if he was miles and miles away. he then responded to jungkook's messages, 'i'll be back sooner than usual, i don't have much work today, wait 4 me'

jungkookie:
you're the best
🤍

taehyung really didn't have much to do that day, so he packed his things once he was done with everything he had to do and left the company.

on his way home, he stopped by a store to get something for jungkook and himself before finding his way back home.
once there, before he could find his keys, the door swung open and a sheepish smile on jungkook's face was visible. "dude you took forever to come back."

taehyung held his chest dramatically, "did you just call me- i- did he just- i can't believe this! fuck you! who are you calling dude?"

"uhm- chill your ass, my lady?" jungkook asked 'innocently' which had taehyung slapping his chest, "get the fuck out you ugly nugget." he said, pointing at his door.

jungkook laughed, "i'm kidding, i'm kidding! and how on earth am i nugget?"

"nuggets are tasty and so are you."

it took jungkook a few seconds to wrap his mind around what taehyung just said, "okay no, first of all, you haven't tasted the real nugget yet."

the other chuckled as he looked at him, "and second of all?"

"second of all, call me a fucking nugget one more time and i'll get you dude-zoned for life."

taehyung gasped, "not the dude-zone, no!"

the younger laughed, "just kidding, you were never in the dude-zone, ever since the night i met you." he said as he dragged taehyung with him to the kitchen. "sounds cool. which zone was i in then?" he asked as he sat down on one of the chairs around the kitchen counter.

jungkook put his hand on his chin in a thinking manner, "uhm, i think you were in the 'pretty guy with nasty bruises that still don't affect his beauty' zone."

"sounds like a very specific zone if you ask me. and this is the second time you call me pretty." he said with a small smile on his face while jungkook kept rummaging through his kitchen, then pulled out a freshly baked cake from the oven.

jungkook put the cake on the counter in front of taehyung, "i baked this just for you. just like i invented that zone just for you. i hope you don't mind." taehyung's smile widened, "and you are very pretty, there's no lie in that. shall we taste this cake now?"

taehyung leaned over the counter just enough to kiss jungkook. "we shall, jungkookie." he whispered against the other's lips.
