☆KISS YOUR BEST FRIEND☆
... .. .
“Okay,” Jungkook says, adjusting his phone on the tripod. “We’re doing the TikTok challenge everyone’s been tagging us in. The ‘random filter decides if we kiss, hug, share secrets or anything else’ one."
Taehyung laughs, deep and warm, and leans closer into the frame. “You’re actually doing this, kooks?”
“You agreed, Taehyung hyung!” Jungkook protests, clutching the remote. “And the comments said we’d chicken out—so we’re proving them wrong.”
“Right,” Taehyung says, smirking. “Because proving TikTok wrong is apparently a noble cause now.”
Jungkook sticks his tongue out. “Shut up and sit down, old man.” Taehyung’s grin widens. “You love calling me old until I remind you who taught you how to drive, cook, and—”
“End this sentence carefully,” Jungkook warns, holding up the remote.
Taehyung chuckles, and Jungkook can’t help it, he laughs too. That’s how it always is between them. Best friends since elementary school . Always bickering, always ending up laughing anyway.
The first round begins. A pink heart filter flashes across the screen—then disappears, replaced by the words “Kiss your best friend!”
Jungkook’s jaw drops. “ALREADY?!”
Taehyung bursts out laughing, leaning back on the couch. “You rigged this.”
“I didn’t!” Jungkook swipes at the screen. “It’s random! I swear.”
“Uh-huh.” Taehyung eyes him like he’s the world’s worst liar. “So what now, golden boy? Gonna back out?”
Jungkook’s throat tightens. “No, I—uh—let’s just skip it. One round doesn’t count.”
Taehyung hums. “Scared?” The word lands heavier than intended.
Jungkook blinks, heat creeping up his neck. “I’m not scared. It’s just—come on, dude. We’re just best friends.”
Taehyung leans forward, grin curving slow and lazy. “Exactly. It’s just for the camera.”
That tone. That teasing tone Taehyung uses when he’s testing him. Jungkook’s fingers tighten on the remote.
“Fine,” Jungkook mutters. “Let’s just get it over with.”
He doesn’t even have time to count down before Taehyung’s hand slides to the back of his neck.. steady, confident—and their lips touch. It’s brief, soft, not even a real kiss. But Jungkook forgets how to breathe anyway. The camera keeps rolling. Jungkook pulls back too fast, hand flying to his mouth.
