Jungkook's Misery | TaeKook

Chapter 5

At the breakfast table the mood was bright. Most of it was thanks to Hoseok who cheered the members up with silly jokes.

Jungkook was glad to see that Jimin seemed to have composed himself a bit. Well, to be honest it wasn’t easy to stay awkward with Taehyung when the latter was determined to get along.

If Tae actually caught on to the strange behaviour Jimin was showing this morning he just ignored it. V was the last one to join breakfast and he went straight for the empty seat next to Jimin, where he put his arm around him and took a bite of his bacon.

Jimin was surprised and then outraged. He started to hit Taehyung playfully and demanding compensation which Tae granted by placing a kiss on his neighbours cheek.

Jimin seemed to have forgotten all about the last night and he surely enjoyed to play around with his best friend.

Only after his eyes went to meet Jungkook’s his smile faded. A state which Taehyung didn’t let last long since he snatched another piece of bacon out of his plate. Jimin immediately returned his attention to the wide grinning thief.

It was nice to see the episode of last night didn’t have a big effect on their friendship especially since Jungkook knew how much Tae liked his smaller friend.

And he knew he should stop feeling jealous just  because Taehyung decided to sit next to Jimin instead of coming to him. And that he shouldn’t care as much that Tae was all over him. Well, he was going to work on it... Soon.

After they finished breakfast they headed out for their schedule. They had a photo shooting in the morning and dance practice in the afternoon.

Jungkook wouldn’t have any time to speak alone with Jimin in the afternoon so he hoped to get a chance during the shoot.

And indeed there was a chance when the members were doing single shots. Jungkook tapped Jimin on his shoulder, who was monitoring RapMon’s performance. “Can I talk to you?”

Jimin didn’t exactly look thrilled but he nodded anyway and followed Jungkook to the hallway.

“Hyung, listen about last night...”

Jungkook had somewhat hoped the other would interrupt him or something, because he didn’t really plan out what to say. But Jimin just played with his sleeves which were way too long for him and looked somewhere at the wall to his right side and didn’t show any signs that he’d take place in this conversation.

“Uhm... it’s... I love V-hyung and the thing you saw just happened. I didn’t plan for you to see.”

That made Jimin look up and raise an eyebrow. Jungkook understood that it was a bit hard to believe him. He might not have planned it, but once he noticed their visitor he didn’t stop but just continued while even staring into the other’s eyes. He wouldn’t believe himself either if it were him.

Jungkook cleared his throat and tried again: “Yesterday, that was our first time...” he stopped since he remembered their little episode in the shower a few weeks ago.

Well Jimin didn’t need to know. “...and because of that I couldn’t stop. I feared hyung would rethink everything when he found out that we were caught.”

It wasn’t a lie; he just didn’t mention his jealous need to mark his terrain in front of his rival.

Jimin just continued to stare at him with his raised eyebrow. Jungkook was beginning to feel nervous.

“You probably don’t know, but I liked Taehyung-hyung for some time know – and with 'like' I don’t mean brotherly admiration but the actual like. It would be great if you could keep it a secret from the others. At least until V-hyung and I have sorted out where we stand.”
