Truth Or Love || Taekook

Taehyung groaned as the doorbell pulled him out of his peaceful slumber. Rubbing his eyes, he glanced at the clock—it was barely seven in the morning.

"Who could it be this early?", he muttered to himself. His hair was a mess, and he was still in his pajamas, but he dragged himself to the door, not expecting much.

When he opened it, he was met with the sight of Jungkook, standing there looking annoyingly handsome, as if he hadn’t just interrupted someone’s sleep.

Taehyung blinked in surprise, his mind still foggy from sleep, while Jungkook, internally cursing, couldn't help but think of how cute Taehyung looked with his disheveled hair and sleepy eyes.

"Jeon?" Taehyung said, stepping aside to let Jungkook inside. "What are you doing here this early?"

Jungkook walked in casually, a playful smirk on his face as he held up the bags he was carrying. "Brought breakfast. Figured you'd be hungry."

Taehyung raised an eyebrow. "Aren’t you supposed to be at uni?"

Jungkook shrugged, his smirk turning into a grin. "Nah, I’m skipping today. What’s the point when you’re on a three-days leave? Thought I’d hang out with you."

Taehyung felt a blush creep up his cheeks. He quickly turned his head, trying to hide it. "I… um… I’ll just go freshen up," he muttered, disappearing into the bathroom.

Once inside, Taehyung looked at himself in the mirror and blushed even harder.

It was the first time he actually cared about how he looked, and the thought of Jungkook seeing him like that made him more flustered than he’d like to admit. He quickly hopped in the shower, the cool water doing little to calm the embarrassment.

When he came out, dressed and with wet hair dripping onto his shoulders, he found Jungkook on his phone, but the second Jungkook noticed Taehyung freshly bathed, his throat went dry.

"Wow, Kim," Jungkook commented, eyeing him up and down. "You clean up pretty well for a zombie."

Taehyung’s cheeks turned pink again as he shyly dried his hair with a towel. "Shut up, Jeon."

Jungkook grinned, leaning back on the couch. "Cute," he teased, causing Taehyung to freeze for a second, his blush deepening.

Jungkook cooed at his reaction. "Aww, look at you blushing! I didn’t know the cold Kim Taehyung could turn this shade of red."

Taehyung rolled his eyes but couldn’t fight the smile tugging at his lips as they sat down to have breakfast. As they ate, Taehyung mumbled, "You didn’t have to do this, Jeon."

Jungkook waved him off. "I wanted to. Besides, someone has to make sure you’re eating properly."

They chatted while eating, and Taehyung actually found himself enjoying the easygoing conversation.

After they finished, they moved back to the living room, where Jungkook sprawled out comfortably on Taehyung's bed, as if it were his own.

"So," Jungkook began, stretching his arms behind his head. "What’s your plan for today?"

Taehyung shrugged, still shy from all the attention. "I was just going to stay in bed all day. Maybe sleep."

Jungkook’s eyes sparkled with mischief. "Sounds like a solid plan. I’m in."

Taehyung blinked at him, surprised. "Wait, what? You’re staying here? With me?"

"Why not?" Jungkook said casually, patting the bed next to him. "Let’s chill. I’m not leaving you alone in your zombie state."

Taehyung blushed again but nodded, feeling oddly comfortable with the idea.

They picked a random series on Netflix to watch, and Jungkook made himself at home, stretching out on Taehyung’s bed with a level of comfort that suggested he’d done this a thousand times before.

Taehyung sat beside him, leaving some space between them, but soon they both got caught up in the series.

At one point, Jungkook playfully nudged Taehyung’s shoulder. "You don’t have to sit so far away, Kim. I don’t bite… unless you want me to."

Taehyung rolled his eyes, unable to hold back a small smile. "Jeon, you're ridiculous."

Jungkook smirked, leaning back and resting his arms behind his head. "And yet, you’re still here with me. Admit it, you like my company."

Taehyung scoffed, though his blush betrayed him. "Keep dreaming, Jeon."
