Sleepover // YOONMIN

73

Taehyung waited outside the station for Jungkook to arrive.
He wanted to surprise him. He was so excited to see Jungkook.
When Taehyung saw a bunch of people suddenly getting out, he realised that the train had arrived.

He stood by the exit, such that he was clearly visible to every person on the exit.
Jungkook had gone for the all black look having worn black sweats and a black hat. The moment he walked out, in a very obvious way his eyes fell on taehyung.

Taehyung had not realised that the younger was already walking towards the exit but then... Jungkook stopped in the middle of walking, their eyes met for a split second but he suddenly turned his head to pull the hat over his eyes. Taehyung's smiled turned to a frown.

Suddenly a knot formed in taehyung's throat. Jungkook was already not replying to his texts and this behaviour of him only felt horrible to taehyung.

But he wasn't going to leave the matter like that. Taehyung was feeling all too much for that muscular man who kept avoiding him.
He needed the clarity and he wasn't going to leave without talking to jungkook.

Jungkook tried to subtly walk out of the exit. But when he felt a pull from behind him, he stopped. Turning to look at the intense gaze right on him.

- hey. Taehyung's left eyebrow raising as he greeted jungkook with a straight face.
- t..tae uh h..hi. Jungkook smiled awkwardly.
- I was waiting for you kookie. Taehyung said smiling softly.
Jungkook felt his cheeks heat up because of god that smile was pretty asf.
- you really didn't have to you know. Jungkook said.

- come with me. Taehyung said as he grabbed jungkook's forearm.
The doe eyes widened with that action and he swallowed hard.
Taehyung's touch was so soft. He almost skipped a beat when taehyung's thumb unintentionally ran through jungkook's tender skin under his grasp.

When his eyes fell on taehyung's car, he kinda panicked a bit. He did not want to go home with taehyung. The fact that he was here, waiting for him only itself was too much to digest. Neither did he expect that nor he wanted.
He wanted to be away from taehyung.
It wasn't any less weird already because he wasn't texting back, no way he wanted to be in the same car as taehyung and face the awkwardness that would come along.

- tae...I've already booked a cab.
- no you haven't.
- no..he said letting go of taehyung's hand. I actually have called for it. I'll take that.
- cancel it. I'm taking you home.
- b..but
- I'm sorry if I'm being too clingy at this moment but you haven't replied to me for a while now. Don't you think you should tell me about it?
- I..I wanted to umh I wanted to...
- just come with me, we can sit and talk jungkook.

So Jungkook just follows Taehyung to his car.
Taehyung opens the door for him. They both settle in the car. Taehyung hands the cup of coffee he had bought for him whereas jungkook kept looking at him with wide eyes, holding the coffee.
- thankyou but you didn't have to bring me this. Jungkook said as he looked down at his cup.
- are you telling me you didn't need any after a long train travel? He smirked.
Jungkook looked at him, not finding the words to say anything in his defence because yes he needed that coffee.
Yet again, his heart fluttered for Taehyung who was only being nice to him. He hated it because he felt guilty.
Guilty for being a dick to the sweetest soul.

There was now silence in the car. Nothing, not even music playing in the background. The only sound that was loud was of jungkook slurping his coffee.
Taehyung looked at him with a fond smile and Jungkook suddenly felt his insides twirl. He stopped drinking because he realised he was too loud.

- so..umh actually I'm sorry. Jungkook speaks breaking the silence.
Taehyung looked at the boy, he wasn't very comfortable. So he stopped the car on the side of the road.

- hey relax, we can talk about that later too. Taehyung said.
-

n..no I..I'm sorry tae. I feel bad for being like that. Jungkook said.
Taehyung pressed his lips as he listened to him.
- you're so nice to me, you came to pick me up, you got me coffee. You think about me so much...
- I'm sorry if I'm being too clingy... Taehyung apologized.
- no no it's not that, you're too nice. I'm just...I think I like you. But I'm not sure.

Even though taehyung looked calm on the outside, his heart was beating fast.
Did jungkook just say he likes him.

- what aren't you sure about? He asked trying to keep calm.
- it's just that we're different. You're like this super rich guy who gets everything even if u just wish for it. I..I have to work hard if I wish to have something.
It's just..I don't know.. we're different.

- t..that's not.. taehyung finds no words in his defence. It was true. He was rich. He always got everything he wanted.
But that was not it. He wasn't entirely happy even if he got everything.

- I wouldn't want you to spend your money on me. I get that you're rich n stuff but it will only make me uncomfortable.

Taehyung was confused. What was he talking? Usually everyone would love to have a rich friend spending money on them for no reason but jungkook didn't?
It was new for Taehyung. Nobody ever said that to him. Others would let him spend it for them.

- I..I like you but I feel it's not that easy.
I was avoiding you because I didn't want to fall for you more than I already have.

Taehyung was screaming internally. His heart was racing. But he didn't let that show.

- Jungkook-ah! You know what, it's fine.
I can understand that you feel that way but we can work this out right? I like you too. I want us to give it try.

Jungkook looked at him in surprise. He didn't expect taehyung to say it too.
They used to flirt but still he didn't think taehyung would say it ever.

- what if it don't work out? Jungkook asked.
- we wouldn't know if we don't try. I don't want to rush you okay! You can take your own time to decide. It's fine if you..maybe wanna keep some distance.
Taehyung said turning away from jungkook.

He didn't want them to keep the distance but he didn't want jungkook to feel the pressure he felt right now.

- Mhmm. Jungkook nods. I'm sorry. He said.

Jungkook definitely noticed how much taehyung wanted them to try. It made him happy. But he wasn't completely sure about it. He needed some more time to think.

- don't worry, I'll drop you home. Just take good rest now. I'll be there if you wanna talk okay?
- okay. Thank you for understanding tae.
Taehyung smiled.
