Truth Or Love || Taekook

26

Jungkook sat through his class, struggling to focus on the lecture. The teacher’s words seemed to blur together, and his gaze kept drifting to his phone.

He had sent Taehyung a few memes and was growing increasingly frustrated as he waited for a reply.

Taehyung hadn’t been around the university the previous day, and Jungkook hadn’t thought much of it until now.

As the class ended, Jungkook made his way to the bench where he usually met his friends. He saw Jimin chatting with the rest of the group and approached him.

“Hey, Jimin, where’s Taehyung?” Jungkook asked, trying to sound casual but unable to hide the concern in his voice.

Jimin looked up, slightly surprised. “Oh, Taehyung? He left right after class. Said he wasn’t in the mood for lunch.”

Jungkook nodded, though he felt a pang of disappointment. He couldn’t shake the feeling that something was off.

Later that evening, Jungkook was back in his room, staring at his phone. Taehyung still hadn’t replied to his texts. An unsettling worry gnawed at him.

He texted Taehyung again, simply asking, “Are you okay?” and then decided to try and get some sleep, hoping for a reply which taehyung never did.

The next day, Taehyung’s absence was even more pronounced. Jungkook was starting to feel genuinely worried.

As he walked past the lockers, he spotted Taehyung in the distance, animatedly talking to a guy .....who wasn’t Jimin. A flare of jealousy and irritation shot through him, but he brushed it aside, trying to stay calm.

When the conversation ended and taehyung was about to leave. Jungkook called Taehyung, hoping to confirm his suspicion.

Taehyung’s face was unreadable as he ignored the call, shutting off the screen and slipping the phone back into his pocket.

Jungkook, who had been observing from a distance, felt a surge of frustration. It was clear now that Taehyung was deliberately avoiding him.

Jungkook’s mind raced as he wondered what he might have done to upset Taehyung. He considered confronting him directly but decided against it when he saw Taehyung disappear around a corner.

Feeling irritated and defeated, Jungkook headed back to his dorm. He resolved to talk to Taehyung the next day and figure out what was going on.

Next morning, as Taehyung rounded the corner on his way to class, he suddenly felt a forceful grip on his shoulders.

Before he could react, he was slammed against the lockers, the metal colliding with his back with a loud clang.

He winced, hissing, "What the fuck?" and looked up to see Jungkook standing inches from him. Jungkook’s face was set in a scowl, his eyes blazing with frustration.

Jungkook’s deep, low voice cut through the tension, sending chills down Taehyung’s spine. "Why are you ignoring me?" he demanded, his voice filled with a mix of anger and hurt.

Taehyung blinked in surprise, momentarily stunned by Jungkook’s aggressive stance. He shook off his shock and tried to remain composed. "Why would I ignore you, Jeon?"

Jungkook’s expression hardened. "You’re ignoring me," he repeated, his tone softer but still firm.

Taehyung opened his mouth to protest, "I’m not ignoring you, I’ve... just been busy—"

"Stop lying, Taehyung," Jungkook interrupted. "I saw you yesterday, cutting my call while you were talking to someone."

Caught off guard, Taehyung hesitated. He opened his mouth to come up with an excuse but Jungkook’s next question cut him off.

"What did I even do?"

Taehyung hesitated before speaking. "I..... Umm....I was just in the lockers to return your earring, and then.... I saw....ummm.... Lisa coming out—"

Understanding dawned on Jungkook’s face. "Oh," he said, realizing Taehyung’s jealousy. He almost smirked but held back, trying to gauge Taehyung’s reaction. "So, you were jealous?"

Taehyung pouted, trying to hide his embarrassment. "I wasn’t jealous," he insisted, though his flushed cheeks said otherwise.

Jungkook’s eyes softened as he looked at Taehyung lovingly. "You’re cute when you’re like this," he murmured, a playful glint in his eye.

Taehyung glanced at his watch. "I have a class to go to," he said, trying to sidestep the intense moment.

Jungkook’s hand slipped from the locker, but he gently pulled Taehyung back, pressing him against the metal again. "Not so fast," he said softly.

Taehyung looked up, his voice almost a whisper. "What now?"

Jungkook’s gaze was intense, his voice filled with a mixture of playfulness and sincerity. "Go out with me."

Taehyung’s heart skipped a beat. He tried to steady himself, thinking that Jungkook was just inviting him to hang out like last time.

But Jungkook immediately added, "And yes, it’s a date! And Jeon Jungkook doesn't take no for an answer."

With that, Jungkook stepped back, leaving Taehyung stunned and shocked. Before Taehyung could respond, Jungkook turned and walked away, a confident stride in his step.

Taehyung stood there, processing what had just happened. His heart raced so fast he thought it might burst from his chest.

Trying to regain his composure, he took a deep breath and headed towards his class, his mind a whirlwind of emotions.
