"Devil works hard, but Kim Taehyung works harder."
Jungkook and his family move out of his hometown. New school, new people and a new neighbor...
angst & fluff & smut;
bottom jjk+top kth (possible switch)
Trigger warnings: homophobic behavior, suici...
Who needs to go on a date on Valentine's Day, when you can stay at home reading fanfics...am I right? Don't worry, I got you! (I spent bazillion hours on this chapter) Enjoy :) _ _ _
Time froze between them, no one was moving. Only the waves and the sun descending down upon the horizon indicated the flow of time. There were tears welling up in Taehyung's eyes.

He blinked once and they rolled like pearls in pink sunset down his statue like face. The only muscle moving inside Jungkook's body was his heart, and he felt like if it was beating any faster, he was going to die.
He couldn't breathe, he couldn't think. He finally said it, those three words...He had said them to someone before, but they never held this much meaning. Today, he meant every single syllable. He didn't think too much, he just said them, he wasn't second-guessing his feelings, he just knew. Once, he asked Taehyung about how can someone know if they're in love. This time, he didn't need the answer, he just knew.
This island, this scenery, the strange shriek of seagulls sounding almost like a whistle to his ears, those pink Cosmos flowers, it all reminded him of his home, of Busan. And the man he was looking at, he made him feel like he was at home again.
He had no idea how all of this happened. He merely wanted to ask his precious hyung to be his boyfriend, but something forced him to confess his feelings.
And now, all his being wanted nothing more than to hear those words back. His eyes were moving from Taehyung's eyes to his mouth, hoping that those stone lips would move, hoping to hear his voice. But Taehyung was frozen, he couldn't hear his voice, perhaps he overheard him in the booming of the waves crashing against the sharp rocks.
This is a place where love isn't meant to be fulfilled. The Dragon King couldn't marry his fairy. Maybe this is my story after all...and hyung will turn to stone. And me, I'll end up being forever alone...unloved.
Taehyung remained quiet, but his lips twitched briefly as if he was having an internal battle to say something.
Please...
More tears started to flow down Taehyung's cheeks.
Say something...
Jungkook realized that he's been holding his breath and felt like he was about to faint. He took one ragged breath. He forced his muscles to move and gently squeezed Taehyung's hands. They were cold.
Is this it? Is this how being rejected is like? It's not worth confessing to someone...if they don't feel the same...What was I expecting?
"You can't..."
"Wh...what?"Jungkook wasn't sure if Taehyung's voice was real or just his imagination.
"You can't love me, you are..."
"What are you talking about?"he came back to his senses.
