friends.

nine.

Should I just confess? Right now? Jeongguk chewed on his bottom lip, staring at how Taehyung was currently sat at opposite him with his textbooks open and face scrunched up.

God, he's so perfect.

And Jeongguk loved every bit of if. He loved the way Taehyung daintily leaned against the palm of his hand, the way his silver bracelets (that he got) dangled, the way his his earrings sparkled beside his even brighter eyes, the rosy colour of his plump lips and how his hair was carefully styled. It was unfair that someone so perfect like Taehyung existed, and he wasn't his.

"Do you like anyone?" Jeongguk quietly asked, feeling his heart skip a beat when Taehyung looked up at him.

The boy hummed softly, "Jimin I guess, but not that much. I don't think we'll date."

Thank God. Jeongguk nodded, "You sounded excited about him before though."

"I know, it's because..." Taehyung hesitated, "Okay so last time I told you about us watching a movie together and cuddling- I left out a major detail because I was embarrassed."

Jeongguk felt his heart drop, he nodded slowly as a sign for Taehyung who continue who shyly looked down. Please, please be something unserious.

"Well we ended up kissing," Taehyung couldn't help smile as the memory replayed in his head. Unfortunately he missed the scowl forming on Jeongguk's face as he spoke.

Jeongguk gritted his teeth and inhaled sharply, holding onto his pencil even tighter, "Okay..."

"And I guess it was nice- he's my first so I can't really say if he's a good kisser or if I am because I haven't kissed anyone else. But anyways, after that we kind of just stared at each other and he was gonna say something about going out- but I said no really fast."

"Oh," Jeongguk didn't know how to react normally so he forced a laugh, "That's so bad. Then what?"

Taehyung's expression flickered at that. Whys he talking like that?

"Well, not much after that. It was just a bit awkward and then the day went on," Taehyung shrugged, "That's why I don't think we'll date."

"Fair enough, maybe you should go for someone else." Jeongguk quietly murmured.

"I should, I'm bored of focusing on the same thing. Jimin asked me to go clubbing with him tonight I might see if anyone else is there is nice- not to date though because you're never finding a boyfriend in a club."

Jeongguk just hummed, staring at his textbook for once instead of Taehyung.

"Do you wanna come with?"

"No." Jeongguk shook his head and chewed on his bottom lip. I need to do something to keep him with me. What do I do? I don't think he'll want to stay behind and do nothing together.

"What's wrong? You look upset, and you never say no to going out drinking." Taehyung worriedly asked, putting his pen down to pay attention to Jeongguk only.

"I just don't feel like drinking tonight...can't we do something together? We should have another sleepover." Jeongguk excitedly suggested.

"I don't know, we've had a lot of sleepovers and we never really do anything. We just drink or play games or study." Taehyung mumbled not exactly fond on missing out on a fun night to do absolutely nothing. Plus, he wanted a break from his thoughts and enjoy himself with other people.

"We could make out," Jeongguk said in a joking tone, but deep down he was serious.

Taehyung laughed at that, "Actually, we should because you're experienced and I'm not so you could teach me."
