Taehyung wrapped an arm around him, surprised but he figured it was Jungkook still being in sub space. Jungkook proved him wrong when he suddenly looked up, soft tears sliding down his face.
“You don’t-“ Jungkook started, then faltered, at Taehyung’s inquisitive look, “you d-don't have to smile all the time. You’re you. But I just- I just want to make people happy. But I don’t know, never know, if you like me as much as I-but-” His blabbering was nonsensical. But despite that, Taehyung understood. They never did need too many words. He embraced Jungkook in a tight hug, breathing the same air, and Jungkook froze for a second. He slowly stopped sobbing as Taehyung rubbed his arm comfortably behind his back.
Jungkook was right. He did feel safe in the other’s arms.
Taehyung let him go after a few more minutes of hugging him and whispering sweet-nothings in Jungkook's ear about how good and pretty he was, and it was only for an important call. Jungkook felt like a weight had been lifted off his shoulders, but his cheeks warmed up at the eyebrow raise from an employee nearby when he got out of the washroom.
The receptionist quickly gave him a stack of papers and told him to go back to work- and Jungkook breathed easily knowing the receptionist probably didn’t suspect what was happening. He blushed again at the thought of Taehyung's come streaked across his ass. He should feel like he was taken advantage of, but in the absence of that Jungkook was scared that he was growing feelings.
How could anyone help it anyway? It was Taehyung. He was scary at work, but he sometimes messed up his words and laughed about it. His boxy smile could light up the whole room, and he spent his free time feeding dogs on the side walk. Sometimes he wore brightly colored ties, giggled at innuendos and wore different socks on both feet. He could never tell a story right, always going off on tangents. He slowed down when he spoke seriously, arranging the words in his mind. Jungkook couldn’t keep his gaze off of him then, he was a goner since the start.
But love makes one lonely. Taehyung would never say he liked him back.
