If there was one thing Taehyung cared about, the one thing that gave his life meaning, it had to be inside this notebook.
And Jungkook was right. Taehyung immediately got up from his chair and rushed toward him. He reached out to grab the notebook, but Jungkook managed to cover it with his body at the very last moment. When such protection was not enough, he pushed the boy away with his elbow and raised his hand with the notebook high up.
"Hey! Give it back!" Taehyung demanded and tried to reach the notebook.
They were about the same height, so it shouldn't be much of a problem for Taehyung. However, it wasn't as easy as it seemed. Fighting with Jungkook was quite a challenge; he was much stronger, more fit, and easily fended off all of the attacks. But Taehyung was well aware of JK's strength. It wasn't their first fight. He lost all of the past ones, including the most important one on the bridge.
"I said. Give. It. Back!" he said through clenched teeth.
Taehyung couldn't give up, and since words didn't work, he had to try and take his property back by force. He gathered all his strength and stood on tiptoes just to grab Jungkook's wrist. Such a gesture brought them much closer together, enough that Jungkook had to take a step back to keep his balance. However, Taehyung didn't pay any attention to it. He was so close to his goal. He could almost touch a notebook with his fingertips.
"Aaaah. Well. So there is something you really care about, hmm?" Jungkook said playfully which made Taehyung stop immediately.
He turned his head toward Jungkook only to see how close their faces really were. He fixed his piercing gaze straight at the raven-haired boy. JK's words got stuck in his head mostly because they were true—his chaotic behavior only confirmed that whatever was inside the notebook greatly mattered to him.
Jungkook saw some kind of sadness in the boy's eyes. It was as if he regretted acting on the spot, letting himself be carried away and being easily provoked like that. Taehyung hesitated as to what to do next: to give up and confirm what was already obvious for both of them or maybe fight a little bit more to keep his honor even if it was pointless anyway.
The decision didn't really matter as in both cases the outcome was very much the same, however, the timing of this decision was important for Jungkook. He hoped the boy would make up his mind as quickly as possible. Preferably just before Jungkook loses control and instead of staring at the boy's concerned eyes, his gaze will fall a little bit lower to these beautifully pink lips.
And the second it was about to happen, Taehyung finally lowered his head and let go of Jungkook's wrist. He sighed and resignedly took a step back, giving them a little more space. It also meant that he would not fight anymore. He only grabbed his hips and stared mindlessly at the floor. He looked like someone waiting for a not-so-favorable judgment.
