0.58 written chapter: not technically a confession

no one pov

"hey.."

jungkook spoke up first, standing infront of the younger, both standing on the paved walk way that lead through the park. the two seemed to always find themselves hanging out there.

"hi." taehyung almost whispered, he couldnt speak. this was the first time he had seen jungkook in person after the drunk kiss fiasco at the halloween party. he didnt know what to think. neither did jungkook for that matter.

"um, do you wanna sit down somewhere?" jungkook asked, glancing away as he rubbed the back of his nape, awkwardly. taehyung nodded, just as awkward.

"c-can we go sit under that tree over there?" taehyung then asked, cursing himself for stuttering over himself. jungkook quickly nodded to where taehyung was pointing.

he followed just behind taehyung, as the smaller lead him to the tree. then both sat down in the shade of the trees branches. completely silent. for atleast 10 minutes.

taehyung picked at the grass, and jungkook zoned out on the boys features. both couldnt muster up the courage to speak, feeling their hearts thumping loud in their chests.

soon enough, jungkook let out a soft sigh. the gentle breath catching taehyungs attention. the boy carefully looked up from the grass, only to lock eyes with jungkook.

instead of cowering and quickly turning away, he stayed still. continuing to make eye contact with the older, unable to turn away. jungkook felt the same. drawn in by the big, brown, orbs that were taehyungs bambi-like eyes.

like soft pools he could slowly sink into. he could drown in his look of innocence. he could fall in, and not even struggle. he wouldnt hold out his hand to be rescued. because if that would happen..

he would already be saved..

he wouldnt fight it. infact, he'd embrace it. he'd let it completely surround him. let taehyungs presence suffocate him. god, if only...

"-ungkook?" taehyung asked again. finally, the ravenette heard it. he blinked, shaking his head slightly. trying to get out of his daze.

such actions made taehyung giggle lightly. cover his mouth with his palm, biting back a smile as he found it kind of cute. jungkooks ears flushed pink, realizing he was dozing off, staring at the younger.

"y-yeah?" jungkook asked, slightly embarrassed. taehyungs giggled subsided. "i wanted to tell you something.." taehyung said softly, his hands resting in his lap.

jungkooks eyes focused, his posture fixing. he nodded slightly. "yeah?" he said softly, knowing what was coming next. i mean, it was inevitable. he was the one who invited the younger to talk anyways.

"um.." taehyung started, not sure how to start. jungkook waited patiently for the boy to speak. his heart rate only increasing at he sat in suspense. 

"i-im sorry for kissing you at the party.. really."

-

if jungkook wasn't silent, he sure as hell was now.

he blinked. his heart almost paused, skipping a beat. "huh?" he spoke subconsciously, not understanding. taehyung flushed pink, looking down. unable to say it again.

"you-" jungkook paused, his eyes on taehyung deepening, looking harder.

the older was silent for a short while until he sighed, dropping his head tired. resting his weight on his palms, that almost dug into the dirt. the blades of grass imprinting on his skin.
