"wait, you're being serious right now?" jeongguk asked the blond-haired male, gazing peculiarly at him.
"i don't know, am i?" taehyung countered back, shuffling his feet nervously while fiddling with his fingers.
"that's why i'm asking you."
taehyung huffed out in defeat, tugging on his shirt. "i don't know, i'm just kinda... bored," he spoke, though it portrayed that of a question more than a statement itself.
jeongguk scoffed, sighing in disbelief. "but what if you're just getting yourself into some random pervert who stalks people all the time?"
"you don't seem like one."
"that's not the point. i'm trying to ask you why you want me to stay with you instead of hanging out with some of your friends or something."
"well, maybe," taehyung pressed his finger onto jeongguk's chest, "it's because..." he slowly lost confidence, moving his finger away from the other, trailing his voice off into the chilled air.
"because?" jeongguk urged curiously.
"maybe it's because you look handsome, okay?"
immediately feeling flustered, taehyung turned away from him and looked down at the soaked concrete. jeongguk, who had widened eyes, looked down at himself. he's rarely ever been called that word at all, much less recently. in fact, all of the times he has been labelled that was mostly from his family. for someone like taehyung to compliment him like that, it made him feel nothing but comfort blossoming in the confines of his body.
alright, perhaps his chances of saying 'no' to his favor were lowered to some extent, but it still wasn't enough to his liking.
"so..."
"that still doesn't give you an excuse, you know," jeongguk uttered, crouching down onto the drenched sidewalk, knowing that it was barren and empty anyways.
taehyung copied his movements after, panting with somber thoughts. "i bought you the hoodie though, so that has to equal a favor."
"i never said it didn't equal one. i'm just asking you if you could change that favor of yours."
"what if i don't change it then?"
"then i would say 'no,'" jeongguk said as if it was the simplest of answers.
taehyung whined, nudging him lightly. "come on, a favor is a favor!"
"it's a weird favor though."
"what does that have to do with anything?"
"it has to do with everything you're asking right now."
"then how come?" the whining male questioned, stopping his actions to listen to him bitterly.
"first of all, we don't even know each other's names, so that's lovely. second of all, you could've asked me for any other favor that was hopefully sane enough which i could've easily done for you and we could've been on our merry way already. but no, here we are, with me wasting my time on you and also wasting my own sleep time. any more questions, smartass?" jeongguk explained, even counting the reasons off from his fingers, finally jabbing his index finger on taehyung's forehead.
