Jungkook's Misery | TaeKook

Chapter 4

„Yah, Jungkook-ah! Wake up already or we’re going to be late… Jungkook!“

Jungkook could hear Rapmon’s voice but the words didn’t make it to his brain. He just wanted to sleep, so he simply shut the noise out and turned his head over to the wall.

„Morning! Is Jungkook up yet? Breakfast is going to be ready in a bit.“ Jin’s voice.

„I tried to wake him up just now but you know him, once he’s asleep he wouldn’t even notice someone carrying him out the house.“ Namjoon grumbled.

They were talking some more, probably wishing each other a good morning and something that could be a kiss but Jungkook didn’t pay attention. The sounds mingled as background music for his dream. Jungkook almost fell asleep for good again, when Jin called out for Jimin.

Jimin. There was something ringing in the back of his head when he heard the name.

„Jimin, is Taehyung up? Breakfast will be ready in a few minutes. He’s gonna complain the whole day if he has to skip it.“

„I don’t think so. He was still sleeping when I went to the toilet.“ Jimin’s voice was added to the noise around Jungkook, whose consciousness was starting to awake bit by bit.

„Can you wake him up then? Meanwhile, I try to get our sleeping beauty here out of dreamland.“

„Eh? Can’t we let him be a bit more? He didn’t get much... sleep, last night...“

„You look like you didn’t get enough sleep yourself! Did you two make out the whole night because Hoseok wasn’t there or what?“ asked Namjoon jokingly, not knowing how close he actually got to the truth.

The difference was that not Jimin was the one who made out with Taehyung but him, Jungkook. And Jimin probably didn’t get enough sleep because he caught Jungkook with his mouth throatdeep around Tae’s member...

Not that Tae even noticed, he was too distracted, if Jungkook may say so himself. But he on the other hand saw Jimin standing by the door with a pretty shocked expression on his face while watching them before he turned on his heels and escaped to his room.

And right now, Jungkook could almost feel the heat radiating from Jimin’s burning cheeks after Namjoon’s question.

„Ehh!? N-no! I… we- we weren’t… I..I didn’t make… No!“

This would end in a disaster. Jimin would spell everything he knew if this went on.

Jungkook cracked an eye open and after adjusting to the light, he opened the other one, too. First glancing over to the indeed burning up Jimin who was fidgeting with his hands.
Meanwhile Rap Monster and Jin looked at him curious, doubting if they really hit the jackpot. They knew the 95 line was close, but could they actually be this close? Jungkook was sure that in this moment they went through every sentence and touch they shared the past few weeks in their heads and wondered if it was possible.

And they would probably get to a positive answer looking at how Jimin acted.

„Did someone say breakfast was ready?“ Jungkook asked, voice still raspy from sleep.

„Jungkook?! How did you actually manage to wake up? On your own, I mean?“ Jin asked surprised.

„How was it on my own. You were all talking so loud about breakfast being ready I had to wake up! By the way, I’m hungry.“

„That was five minutes ago. How long does it take your brain to process the words that are said?“ Namjoon laughed.

Jungkook shrugged his shoulders and laughed with him, glancing over at Jimin, whose cheeks got even redder than before once their eyes met. Jimin avoided his look hastily and turned around, mumbling something about ‚waking up‘ and ‚Taehyungie‘.

This was going to get complicated.

Jungkook managed to get away from the NamJin couple without raising any further suspicion, saying he wanted to wash up.

He came just barely within hearing range when he heard Hoseok – who seemed to have come home early in the morning after going over the choreography of their new dance once again – asking Jimin if he had a fight with Tae.

„Eh, no. We didn’t. Why would you think that?“

„Because normally you would jump and annoy the shit out of him to wake him up.“

Jungkook could feel this nasty feeling called jealousy, he got to know a bit too well the past few months, welling up once again. He really needed to do something about this. It wouldn’t do him any good to get jealous every time Tae got close to others since he belonged to those kind of people who liked to touch people they liked and reassure them of their like that way, making the said people also touch the initiator unconsciously more often than with others.

And this wasn’t the right time or place to interrupt. So Jungkook held on and just stepped closer to listen by the door.

„One could say it’s your morning routine to jump on him, tickle him and disturb him until Taetae gives in and stands up. And now you’re merely poking his shoulder… So either you fought or you’re sick... Wait, are you not feeling well, Jimin?“ J-Hope asked with sudden concern in his voice.

„No, I’m perfectly fine, don’t worry. I probably just didn’t want to actually wake him up. He looks still so sleepy“ Jimin added to give a plausible explanation after seeing that Hobi wasn't fully convinced.

„Oh, well  you should wake him up neverthel-„

„Eek!“ Hoseok was interrupted through Jimin’s sudden shriek. Wondering what went on, Jungkook had to peek into the room making sure the others didn’t notice him.

It seemed like Jimin just got surprised because the supposedly sleeping Taehyung grabbed his hand that had been resting on Tae’s shoulder.

„Jiminie..?“ Tae smiled sleepy at his friend.

The chatter between J-Hope and Jimin probably woke him up. Taehyung who didn’t have a clue about Jimin’s knowledge tugged on the latter’s arm to pull him into a tight embrace.

Jimin on the other hand who must remember the scene he saw the last night just too well blushed like crazy once again.

Jungkook would have to talk to him or else the whole world would sooner or later know what was going on. Jimin really wasn’t a good liar, but he was a good friend so he would surely help them to cover up as good as possible.

In that moment Taehyung’s eyes found Jungkook who was still standing by the door.

„Kookie!“ Tae beamed a smile at him, waving him over with one arm while he was still holding Jimin embraced with his other one. The smaller boy looked clearly uncomfortable at Jungkook when the latter entered with a smile on his face.

„Morning Hyung! Still lying in bed? Jin hyung is going to throw your breakfast away if you’re not dressed and ready to go in ten minutes.“

„Heh“ Taehyung’s smile got even a bit wider while his eyes squinted nearly shut before he quickly shoved Jimin to his right side on the bed, jumping up right after and collecting some clothes before storming out of the room to find his way to the bathroom.

Everyone was laughing, even Jimin who was lying a bit disarranged on Taehyung’s bed.

Good, at least he was still able to laugh at Tae’s quirkiness. They would surely find a way to handle this situation and if it was only for the sake of Taehyung. He just needed to speak with Jimin alone.
