KISS. j. jungkook.

four | hold me?

"hi ri" taehyung smiled after opening the door to his dorm.
"hi taehyung" zariah giggled nervously, staring at her twiddling fingers.
"are you ready for a movie marathon?" riah asked looking up.
"the sweats are ON!" taehyung said pointing at his pants and moving so she could be let in.

"oh, full house!" riah said noticing people in the room other than taehyung and jimin, who's dorm it was. jungkook, minghao, and yugyeom were all crowded in the kitchen with jimin.
"oh it's cool, i was just heading back to their dorm" jimin reassured as he grabbed a sandwich out the fridge.
"you two lovebirds have fun, use protection!" he teased.
"just go, man!" taehyung scoffed and shook his head, pushing him towards the door as the boys all walked out.

"lovebirds..are they like, together?" jungkook asked after the door closed
"i mean, they've been going on dates for a little over a month now. they're always with each other..practically attached at the hip! you didn't know this?" jimin asked with a chuckle
"i've been really busy..you know, with music competitions and soccer prep..hardly have had time to hang out" jungkook huffs, combing his hands through his hair

"well, what're your thoughts?" minghao asked
"what are you talking about.." jungkook questioned
"c'mon jungkook..we know how you feel about zariah, although taehyung doesn't" yugyeom stated
"i mean..fuck, it's not like i can be mad, he didn't know" jungkook briefly remarked

"yeah, and neither did she, shit, were you ever gonna tell her how you feel?" yugyeom charged
"chill.." jimin advised as they continued to walk
"and make a fool out of myself? yugyeom, we hardly even speak to each other. she didn't even look my way just now"
"okay but you don't make much of an effort either, i mean, try to talk to her one on one more" jimin suggested

"it's a little too late for that now." jungkook snarled
"well we've been saying this and you've yet to listen" minghao corrected
"yeah..she was just never in my league, im not her type, i mean, taehyung? yeah right.." jungkook scoffed
"y'all are the same type what are you talking about?" minghao chuckled, yugyeom and jimin joining in

"well, she chose him" jungkook pointed out as he opened the door to his dorm
"you weren't even on the ballot" yugyeom scoffed
"whatever, let's just get on this game, i'm done talking about it." jungkook stated as the boys nodded and walked into his room

"would you ever do that?" zariah asked as they pointed at the tv screen, laying on taehyung's chest as they sat at the edge of the bed next to the wall.
"do what?" taehyung asked, giggling at how cute riah was
"carry drugs in your jewelry" riah answered, referring to cruel intentions, the movie they were currently watching.
"what goes on in your brain, ri?" taehyung giggled

"don't act like you don't love my brain" zariah sassed
"i do!" taehyung said kissing them on the forehead
"now answer"
"no riah, no i wouldn't." taehyung rolled his eyes playfully
"i would, i dont know.." riah pondered
"cocaine though?" taehyung asked
"no, no it's just!..if i was secretly a cocaine addict and i was super smart, i'd put it in a cross necklace! it's genius!" riah explained

"i think you're getting delirious, love" taehyung said pushing her hair out their face.
"maybe" riah mumbled
"should we sleep?"
"i can sleep here?"
"yeah..i ran it by our ra..he wont snitch" taehyung assured

"alright i'll sleep here" zariah nodded sleepily
"let's get to bed" taehyung said turning the movie and lights off
"i can sleep on this side.." taehyung said moving to the left side of the bed
"taehyung?" zariah started
"yes, honey?"
"hold me?"
taehyung quickly agreed, moving towards them and embracing them.

zariah felt safe in his arms. they'd never felt this sort of affection or closeness and she was still trying to process how all of this happened so abruptly. she prayed to god it would stay like this.
