There was a pause.

"I-I do not understand Jeongguk." Taehyung stuttered.

Jeongguk shook his head.

"I pretended to be innocent so that you will always be around me to protect me. I pretended to be cute so that you would give me all of your attention. I-I didn't know what else to-"

"Wait. So all this time..? You were just pretending?" Taehyung was confused now.

Jeongguk nodded, avoiding eye contact.

"But why? Why would you do that? Why would you act like a different person?" He stressed.

Jeongguk remained silent, tears gathering up in his eyes.

"Jeongguk." Taehyung grabbed his chin and made the younger look at him.

"I-I wanted you to like me. You mentioned once that if you were do date someone, you'd want someone cute and innocent, someone who you can be childish with and ..."

Taehyung froze. He couldn't process what he just heard.

"So all this time you were just trying to get me to like you?" Jeongguk nodded.

Taehyung sighed.

"Jeongguk, that was something I said years ago, just blurted out without thinking. I would accept you as who you are, you don't need to pretend." Taehyung whispered as he caressed his hand.

Jeongguk smiled.

"Really? So if I drink alcohol and stop watching cartoons you're still going to like me?"

Taehyung chuckled and wiped Jeongguk's tears away.

"Yes."

Jeongguk shyly smiled.

"One question though. Do you actually love sweets or were you just forcefully shoving them down your throat?"

They both laughed at that.

"Yes, I do love sweets."

They remained quiet, staring into each other's eyes. Jeongguk sighed and looked down again.

"Listen Tae, I'm really sorry about all that. I've um, I've had a crush on you for a while and I guess I was scared you wouldn't like me back. And then Raea became your girlfriend and I thought if I became more .... anyways, I will understand if you - if you don't want to talk to me anymore." Jeongguk whispered the last part.

"Bun."

Jeongguk looked up.

"What you did is...very questionable and childish, but," Taehyung chuckled.

"I like you too and I'd be more than willing to talk to you and get to know the real you." Jeongguk blushed as he smiled at Taehyung.

"Thank you hyung."

Taehyung pulled him into a hug and Jeongguk practically melted in his arms. He was glad the older chose to talk it out and let him come clean rather than the fatal scenarios he imagined in his head. Jeongguk placed his head on top of Taehyung's head as the older positioned them into a cuddling position.

"Gguk."

"Mhm?" Jeongguk mumbled.

"So earlier...since when did you start, um, playing with yourself?"

Jeongguk froze. He shut his eyes and pretended to be asleep. But then again, he felt kind of guilty for ignoring him.

"Started a while ago..."

Taehyung chuckled as he ran his hands through Jeongguk's hair.

"That was quite a scene not going to lie."

"Hyung!!" Jeongguk slapped his chest and went further into his neck, hiding his reddened face.

Taehyung laughed out loud. Either ways, Jeongguk was still cute, still his bun, and still someone he will protect forever.

"Also, I broke up with Raea." Jeongguk stood up and dramatically gasped.

"Haha about time, that bitch was annoying as fuck." Jeongguk grumbled.

Taehyung blinked.

"Wow, yeah. I still need to get used to this." He laughed.

"Damn right. And if you don't shut up and let me sleep I'll cut off your dick."

"Try" he whispered in his ear.

"I'm sleeping."

Taehyung chuckled and rubbed his back, his vision soon turning black.
