Back To You// Taekook

Chapter 29

"So, are we good?" Taehyung asked when Jungkook was back from jogging, the latter didn't change his mind and still decided to go for a run after the discussion with Jungeun, which left Taehyung a bit worried for an entire hour because he didn't know if by any reasons, Jungkook was mad at him for not telling anything about Jungeun's secret.

"Why shouldn't we? " Jungkook gave him a brief look before shifting his attention back on the tv. After his run, he had a quick shower before crashing on the bed.

"I thought you were mad at me because of the whole Jungeun thing but okay...." Taehyung quietly elaborated before sighing in relief.

He eventually climbed on the bed and lied down next to Jungkook.

By now, it has become an habit of him to just barge in Jungkook's bedroom whenever he feels like it and throw himself on the bed.

"I'm a bit jealous that you found out sooner. I mean, how did you find out that he was gay?" Jungkook turned to look at him straight in the eyes, his glare so intense that Taehyung had difficulty swallowing.

Taehyung couldn't possibly tell the guy that on an unfortunate night, he had sex with Jungeun and only discovered days later that the older man was in fact Jungkook's father and a famous football player at that.

That terrible secret still felt gross to even think about. He didn't want to think about what Jungkook or just anyone else would think of him if they knew about it.

It better be kept secret or long forgotten until the day he dies.

"I don't know... he just told me, I guess" he let out with a nervous laugh and was hoping for Jungkook to just drop the matter.

"He told you? He just told you like that?"

Taehyung didn't know if Jungkook didn't completely believe him because he has always been such a terrible liar and it inwardly terrifies him.

"He wanted some advices. Can we stop talking for a moment and just watch the tv?" He looked back at the said tv and acted as if he was truly interested in what was playing.

He hated sports but some NBA games were played on the screen so he pretended to focus on it to avoid Jungkook's curious eyes.

"I'm not even interested in this game" the other quickly grumbled.

"But I am" He stubbornly argued.

"Why are you being so weird about it? If you don't want to tell me, you can just say so" Jungkook casually said and Taehyung had to listen carefully to make sure if he sounded, angry, hurt, or just anything. "It's just strange that he told you and not me"

"Maybe it's because I'm gay"

"And I'm not?"

"You're bi" Taehyung had rolled his eyes. "And he may have felt more comfortable talking to me because I've been on his shoes"

"Alright. I'll pretend to believe that but you better not hide anything from me again, especially when it comes to my father" Jungkook seriously told and for a split second, Taehyung was worried the boy could read from his eyes so he hurriedly diverted his eyes away, avoiding Jungkook like the plague.

"I'm not hiding anything" Taehyung quickly shook his head.

Shit
Shit
He was internally having a small panick attack.

"Your face doesn't cooperate with what you said. Tae, you sure you're not hiding anything from me?" Jungkook pointedly asked and when Taehyung felt like his heart might burst, he believed he heard a snort from the other. "Relax. Why are you so stiff? I'm messing with you"
