(9) Bambi eyes

Third Person's POV

Life can certainly be unpredictable sometimes. 

You can wake up one morning and be completely fine, and then the next minute you're jumping through time with your close ones because you had an argument with your parents. 

Kim Taehyung had spent his whole life in hell, desperately trying to live up to his family, which proved difficult when you are the exact opposite of them. Even so, he was never jealous of his hyung. He was close with his dad until his mother started pulling them away. 

That was when he went a little mad. 

He had reached at the first opportunity to rebel against his dad, and his all too willing elder brother had been right there with him. Namjoon was the only form of kindness Taehyung had ever faced, someone that cared for him. 

It was his first time experiencing a similar kind of comfort in Jimin, Yoongi and Hoseok. Jungkook, on the other hand, had something much more than just comfort that Taehyung wanted. Taehyung just couldn't pinpoint 'what' yet.

Taehyung was used to Jungkook's presence. In fact without him, it wouldn't be the same at all, it's been two months since they officially met and ever since jungkook had been a good company. 

A friend.  

But Taehyung has been feeling a lot different, a lot of questions swirling in his mind. He has been so damn confused lately, 

Do friends normally make your day complete with a laugh? Do friends normally make your heart skip a beat everytime they call you, 'Taehyungie hyung'? Do you normally try harder every time your friend looks at your practice just to impress them? Do friends make you experience a nasty, weird feeling called jealousy everytime someone else gets a bit too touchy? Do friends make you want to sleep next to them just so you could see their cute, peaceful sleeping face? 

Do friends do that?

First was a crush.

A harmless little crush, Taehyung kept telling himself. Of course it was natural to stare at the way the sunlight filters through those Bambi eyes. Jungkook was staring into oblivion. His hand laid under his chin, supporting that brilliant head of his. Jungkook was gently biting the end of a pen.

Taehyung was harmlessly reading a book. The title? Didn't matter. All Taehyung was paying attention to was if he could be the one to be kissing those pink lips, now biting around the pen.

Nothing stopped Taehyung from staring at Jungkook like he was the sun, and Taehyung, ready to fall and die into an unforgivable ocean to see the warmth of Jungkook's endless smile.

"What's wrong hyung?" Jungkook asked, a small blush upon his cheeks from Taehyung  staring at him, as though he was a Monet in an art museum.

"Nothing, nothing" Taehyung replied back. A high blush already on his face.
