A/N: Sorry for any errors!

˗ˏˋ ♡ ˎˊ˗

Jungkook kisses Taehyung back and smiles sweetly after a moment and pulling back. "We fell asleep?" The younger asks softly, letting Taehyung gently hold his face like precious porcelain.

"Mhm.." Taehyung hums, smiling back at him. "Guess it tires you out, huh?" He chuckles, gently caressing Jungkook's cheek. The latter giggles and nods.

"Yeah i guess it does.." He calms his laughter and after a silent moment, the younger looks at Taehyung's chest, bare and warm looking. The younger moves closer to Taehyung, snuggling into his chest. Taehyung melts inside and gently wraps his arms around him.

There's comfortable silence for a while, and then Jungkooks phone rings. He sits up with a soft grunt and grabs it off the nightstand and sees his moms contact. He bites his lip and answers. She asks him to go home right then because he forgot to do a chore and something else he can't make out when Jungkook tells her that he's with Taehyung. She sounds angry. Jungkook agrees to come home and hangs up. More silence, Taehyung almost asks if his best friend is okay, but Jungkook is tense now and he looks at Taehyung with a weird kind of expression.

Jungkook gives Taehyung body a scan at this point, taking in that he's still naked and has cum on him. Jungkook then looks at himself that's mostly exposed now. He gets up after that, apologizing to Taehyung softly as he does. Taehyung sits up to get out of his way, curling his legs to his chest when he notices how changed the air is. How Jungkook's demeanor changed. Taehyung curls up because he doesn't like the change, and is increasingly more insecure now.

Jungkook doesn't say anything as he gets dressed, unknowingly putting on Taehyung shirt, not bothering to clean himself up before doing so. Taehyung's eyes are big and aware, waiting for something bad to happen, Jungkook to explode with anger — not that he ever has, Taehyung's dad does.. same with his mom. — He's anxiously waiting for something really bad to happen... But it doesn't. Or maybe it does.. Jungkook just grabs his bag and simply says, "See you at school." And then leaves.

The older sits there for a few minutes, confused. Not understanding why things changed so quickly...

And then the thoughts come; Is Jungkook upset with him? Did he do something wrong? Is.. Jungkook ashamed of him? Does he hate him? Does he regret what they did? Does Jungkook hate how he looks? And he was just blinded by the lust before hand...

In any sense he eventually decides he needs to shower with a heavy mind and chest. He does, not knowing what the fuck to do with this. He slept with his best friend— or maybe it's not quite sex... but he did something very intimate with him. And then he just left with no hug.. no "goodbye hyungie i'll miss you".

Taehyung gets dressed after he showers and sits on his bed, grabbing his phone and there's no text from Jungkook. That's always the worst. But he just texts him first..

Hyung💜🐯:
Hey, everything alr?
[delivered]

Taehyung watches the chat and after a moment the delivered turns to read. And it stays like that. He sighs and closes the app and goes to play a game on his phone.

Eventually Taehyung eats dinner and watches some tv, checking his phone every few minutes with no changes. Then he goes to bed.

School is a day later and Taehyung didn't get more then a 'yup, all good.' from Jungkook and Taehyung is even more confused. He then gets a text saying that Jungkook won't need a ride that morning, from the latter, because his mom was taking him that day because she needed to go talk to go to the doctors after their school starts.

It's safe to stay Taehyung listened to Secret Love Song Pt. II by Litrle Mix on the way to school that morning.

"You and I both have to hide
on the outside
Where I can't be yours, and
you can't be mine
But I know this, we got a love
that is homeless
Why can't I hold you in the
street?
Why can't I kiss you on the
dance floor?
I wish that it could be like
that
Why can't it be like that?
'Cause I'm yours."

Taehyung is depressed. He even has to work up the nerve to talk to Jungkook before first period. He taps his friends shoulder from behind and looks at him with soft, big eyes.

"Oh hey, Tae." Jungkook says softly to his friend, smiling the same.

Taehyung does the same but it's a short lasting smile. "Hey, um.. is— is something wrong? Did i do something to piss you off or whatever?" His words come out harsher at the end then he means to. Jungkook blinks a couple of times, processing.

"No?" Jungkook says softly, guts getting all twisted up inside him as he sees how anxious his best friend looks. Truly upset that there might be a change Jungkook is angry with him.

"Oh. Okay.." Taehyung looks instantly confused and speechless because he is so left in the dark here. They both agreed to do shit! If Jungkook was going to be all fucking rude afterwards he shouldn't have agreed! He shouldn't have suggested it! — Taehyung just ends up dropping it and saying, "Bye, Jungkook." Using his full name to unintentionally show his emotions, as negative as they are.

Jungkook knows he just fucked up with how he answered his friend. Because if there's one thing sure about Taehyung is that he's a lot— maybe too much — like his mom. And she, well to put it simply, is very passive aggressive when she's upset. Those two, they will never say they are upset with you, they will just passive aggressively drop hints that they think about ripping your head off at night to sleep.

Taehyung is gone before Jungkook can try to save week from Taehyung's passive aggressive sass.

"Fuck." Jungkook mumbles to himself and walks to his class.
