/ Taehyung POV /
4 years have passed since I first acknowledged the true weight of my feelings for Jungkook. What followed were alternating nights of me sobbing into my pillow and failed attempts at meditation.
It just doesn't make any sense. If he truly saw me as family, then why did he lead me on like that? The series of actions that lead to us making out in that toilet cubicle were not one-sided. Not to mention him deleting an entire album dedicated to IU simply because I told him to.
While I was busy with these thoughts, however, it seemed that Jungkook had been slowly moving on on his own.
He went from averting his gaze when I caught him staring to just not looking in my direction at all. He even stopped bringing up the fanfics, and would flinch whenever our skin lightly brushed against each other.
Perhaps he convinced himself that I really was just family to him. Or maybe he meant it, and decided that enough was enough.
It dawned upon me that all my worries were in vain. It didn't matter to him anymore. We were professionals.
So, I shoved all my feelings for him to the pit of my consciousness where I had thrown all other "unnecessary" human thoughts, grit my teeth, and sang my lines.

"Hyung!"
"What?"
"Charge my phone. My battery died."
"Wow. I swear, your manners disappear with every patch of skin you tattoo."
Taehyung rolled his eyes at the now grinning Jungkook and yanked the younger boy's phone off his free hand. His other hand had been stationary for 3 hours now, laying at the mercy of his tattoo artist.
Whenever possible, Jungkook asked his favourite hyung to accompany him to his tattoo sessions. This was the first in a while, given the two's busy schedules—being apart was now commonplace with all the foreign artists trying to get their hands on the talented boys.
"Ouch."
Taehyung chuckled, "Shouldn't you be used to getting tattooed by now?"
"It's not- ah. It's... not something you can get used to. Mh. Like, when Yeontan bites you."
"Yeontan doesn't bite me."
"Then... like when I bite you. Ow!"
"Sorry."
The tattoo artist definitely didn't have to apologise for that, Taehyung thought nonchalantly, already used to Jungkook's flirty shenanigans at this point. The boy does it to Jimin too, anyway.
The tattooing went on for another 2 hours, graced by an endless exchange of banter and gaming updates between the two young adults, with the occasional comfortable silence.
"Hyung, want to play a round of Overwatch with me?"
"Sure. Your room or mine?"
"Mine."
