Tattoos & Temptations [Taekook]

19. What happened to us

Third Person pov

Taehyung and Jungkook's apartment has turned into this battleground of emotions, you know? After that almost-kiss drama at the concert, it's like they're stuck in this beautiful mess.

Jungkook's pulling these accidental run-ins, thinking he's all smooth, but it's just creating this tension you can cut with a knife. And Taehyung? He's stuck dealing with this lingering musky scent that's like Jungkook's calling card. It's like living in a romantic comedy, but without the script or the perfect timing.

Their fights? Oh boy, they're not your usual roommate squabbles over ydirty dishes. It's like a full-blown war over who left the socks on the floor or whose turn it is to deal with the trash. But here's the kicker – beneath all that chaos, there's this silent agreement that there's something more.

In the midst of their messy apartment drama, there's this magnetic pull that neither wants to admit. It's like they're dancing on the edge of something big, but nobody knows if they'll end up hugging it out or tossing pillows across the room.

Taehyung's got a front-row seat to Jungkook's caring side, right? and it's got him thinking, "What if we're more than just roommates or friends?"

Then, bam! Picture this: Taehyung stumbles upon Jungkook, fresh out of the shower, looking like an absolute god. Like, we're talking Michelangelo's sculpture level. Taehyung's heart's doing a full-on Olympic sprint, and he's thinking, "Touch that man, or die trying."

But here's where it gets real. The fantasy collides with the hard truth. The mere idea of Jungkook being more than a friend sends Taehyung into a panic. Why? 'Cause Taehyung's got this homophobic father who's basically a ticking time bomb. If he catches wind of Taehyung having feelings for Jungkook, it's not just drama – it's a full-blown disaster.

And it's not just about Taehyung's feelings. The thought of someone hurting Jungkook ignites a fire in Taehyung's bones.

Taehyung decided to take the scenic route to success, and let me tell you, it's a wild ride. He straight-up goes radio silent on Jungkook, like he's a master of the silent treatment. That room of theirs? Suddenly feels emptier than a Monday morning lecture.

Jungkook's left drowning in this weird, suffocating silence. Tries to shoot the breeze, and Taehyung just moonwalks out of the convo. Even when Jungkook's feeling feisty and tries to stir the pot, Taehyung pulls out the ninja moves – apologizes and then, bam, back to the silent treatment.

Now,

, to escape this emotional labyrinth, dives headfirst into his tattoo studio. It's like his personal sanctuary away from the awkward roommate ballet. Needles, ink, and creative chaos become his escape hatch from the silent, Taehyung-induced madness.

Oh, they're in denial city, my friend. Jungkook's acting like he's got a PhD in pretending he doesn't miss Taehyung. I mean, seriously, he's practically living in the tattoo studio, probably convinced himself it's the new promised land.

And Taehyung? He's got denial on speed dial. Walks around like he's the king of indifference, like he's got better things to do than admit he misses Jungkook. It's like a silent competition of who can be the most nonchalant.

But here's the kicker – even in the middle of their denial Olympics, you can bet your bottom dollar they're both secretly scrolling through old pics or rewatching shared favorite movies. Denying it to the world, but their hearts? Well, those are playing a different tune.

Taehyung's pov:

I can't take it anymore. Our place has turned into a revolving door for Jungkook's one-night stands, and today was the final straw. I'm cleaning up the aftermath of his personal butler act,he basically cooked
kimchi fried rice for her, when he drops the "Wouldn't mind to make you happy again" bomb. Seriously, Jungkook? His eyes light up like he just discovered the secret to happiness. I thought that kind of shine was reserved for us, for me!. Ew i sound like a teenager.
