KISS ME | KOOKV

⊱ ━━━━.⋅ εïз ⋅.━━━━ ⊰

The only reaction Taehyung could physically offer was a dumbfounded stare and a gaping mouth. His little heart knocked violently against his chest and he was convinced he could feel the blood flowing to his head so fast it made him dizzy.

With the last ounce of strength in his body Taehyung forced himself to blink, to do fucking something. „W-w-what? Wait you- wait-„

Slowly but surely realisation hit.

This wasn't a dream. Jungkook just indirectly said he likes him too and yeah, Taehyung didn't quite expect that. He had to restrain himself from grinning like an idiot and ran a hand through his messy hair, unable to form coherent sentences as he kept staring at the younger boy, not quite believing what he heard. "You..?"

Jungkook's warm, brown eyes twinkled and there was the faintest pink dust covering his cheeks as he waited for an answer, his long hair falling from his head like a curtain, covering his eyes.

„Ugh sorry, that was horrible," Jungkook brought his hands up to his face, rubbing his cheeks as if he was trying to get rid of his sickly sweet smile. „I'm sorry, I didn't think I'd actually say that out loud."

„Y-You-„ Taehyung paused. „Are you for real? Because please, if you are joking I will start crying."

Jungkook's expression fell for a second and he looked worried, bringing his arms back down to his sides. „No-, no Tae, I'm serious."

„You are?" Taehyung felt his insides flutter. „How? Since when?"

"Guys?"

They both turned their head to the back when the door creaked open, then looked at each other with big eyes, a little like two lost puppies.

Jungkook winked. Winked. w i n k e d. Taehyung made a mental note saying just how attractive that was and wow, suddenly he wanted Jungkook to fuck him into oblivion. Don't blame him, please. He really needed to get laid.

„Not the right time to talk about this." Jungkook gestured to the kitchen but Taehyung didn't want him to go just yet. He had so, so many questions. "But-"

"No buts." Jungkook lifted his pointer finger to look intimidating? Taehyung wasn't sure but he almost laughed and had to bite back his giggle. "We'll talk after work, deal?"

"Alright, deal." Taehyung waved him off and sighed heavily when he was left alone, his cheeks still hot to the touch.

Stomach, meet butterflies!

The plot twist made Taehyung wonder if this whole conversation actually just took place or if he dreamed it. He prayed to god he wasn't just so incredibly love deprived that he started hallucinating.

Jin was in the back talking about the things Taehyung categorised under boring adult talk, happily ignoring that he was also classified as an adult at the age of 24.

Why would he participate in the boring Jin chat, anyways. It drained his energy and his attention was not trained to deal with endless talks about politics or bills he had to pay.

But for now he endured the background noise with not more than a soft sigh, being busy with his head in the clouds.

Jungkook liked him.

That's all Taehyung needed to know right now.

Unfortunately his heartbeat did not calm down at all in the next hours- in fact - it probably worsened the more time went by and they were about to close down for the day when Taehyung found himself staring at the dark ceramic under his fingers.
