STRANGERS

Part 21(flushed)

Time skips after 1 week~

The rooftop of the dorm building was quiet at this hour, the kind of late night hush that settled over the school grounds after lights out warnings from Mr. Lee.

Taehyung stood near the low safety railing, one shoulder slightly leaned against it, spooning vanilla ice cream from a small paper cup.

His dark hair shifted lightly in the breeze, and his sharp eyes reflected the city lights as he watched the view in that quiet, thoughtful way of his always a little distant, like part of his mind was already calculating tomorrow's schedule or worrying about something practical.

Jungkook stood right beside him, close enough that their arms brushed whenever either of them moved. He was aggressively attacking his own chocolate ice cream, the sweet cold flavor sharp on his tongue, but his attention kept drifting sideways.

"Handsome bastard" Jungkook thought, huffing through his nose as he licked another stripe up the melting scoop. The chocolate was starting to drip down the side of the cup onto his fingers, sticky and cold.

"One whole week we've been dating and all I get are these tiny cheek pecks like I'm his little brother or something. How the hell is that fair? My 18 year old ass is dying for something HOT"

He pouted harder, licking his ice cream with more force than necessary, the cold making his teeth ache slightly. In his head he was already cursing Taehyung.

"For god's sake, give me something real. I want proper kisses, not this polite shit"

Taehyung must have felt the stare because he side eyed Jungkook, one eyebrow twitching just a fraction. The universal 'what are you sulking about now' look.

Jungkook quickly looked away, pretending to focus on the city view while his brain kept spinning.Then he saw his opening. Taehyung turned his attention back to the lights. Jungkook leaned in fast, mouth open, and took a big bite straight from Taehyung's vanilla ice cream.

The creamy sweetness burst across his tongue, mixing with the chocolate still lingering from his own.

Taehyung's head snapped toward him instantly. Without hesitation, he delivered a slow, light smack to the back of Jungkook's head firm enough to sting just a little "Jeon" Taehyung sighed, voice low and laced with that familiar mix of exasperation and fondness.

"Stop stealing mine when yours is literally melting all over your fingers."

Jungkook rubbed the spot dramatically, already whining as the cold drizzle of melted chocolate ran down his wrist. "It's romantic to eat ice cream from your boyfriend. You don't know that?" He reached over and pinched Taehyung's side through the thin fabric of his hoodie, fingers digging in just enough to make the older boy flinch.

Taehyung glanced at him judginly.

"Dating sure does need some effort."

Jungkook's eyes narrowed hard in return, the judgment radiating off him in waves. Fuck. Is he for real right now? The thought burned hot in his chest, mixing with the cold sweetness still coating his mouth.

He then stared at Taehyung for two long beats, ice cream forgotten in his sticky hand, then dropped an unexpected bomb without any filter.

"You have a big dick, you know that?"

Taehyung choked hard on his ice cream. His eyes went wide, the calm composure shattering as he stared at Jungkook like he saw a ghost "What the fuck?"Taehyung rasped, voice rough from coughing, deep tone cracking just slightly at the end.
