Dear Best Friend | 김태형

Jug Drunk Chug || Chapter twenty-two

"Ah, we should all totally use your hot tub, Hobi!" Taehyung suggested as you were all sat in the living room, playing monopoly to the sound of everyone shouting at each other placing bets.

Basically, there was a 'survival round', as they called it, since there was eight of you, there were too many. You had two games at the same time, and whichever two from each game had the most money by 30 minutes got to go through to the real game.

You happened to be one of the players, who was against Jungkook, Namjoon and Hoseok. Needless to say, things got very competitive. Taehyung bet five dollars that you'd win, but let's face it, he wasn't going to get that money back.

Jin put most of his money on Namjoon (as expected), and Jimin and Yoongi bet on Jungkook. Needless to say, Jungkook was the best player.

After a solid two hours, you got bored and forfeited. Taehyung was very disappointed, but you apologised.

"Uh, only if you guys want to use the hot tub." Hoseok said in between a turn, and practically everyone nodded. You worried you didn't have the appropriate clothes, but everyone would most likely just be in their underwear or shorts or whatever, besides, you were submerged most of the time, so nobody would see anything.

"What do you think, Y/N? Want to use the hot tub?" Taehyung nudged, and you nodded. "Sounds good."

After monopoly was over, everyone just lazed about for a while, except Jungkook and Taehyung.

You were on one of the couches of the living room when Taehyung suddenly jumped up from across the room. "Can we use the hot tub yet?!" He whined, and Jungkook followed suit. "It's heating up. It'll be a while." Hoseok said as he scrolled through his phone, and you smiled at him, shaking your head as the two youngest were whining.
"I was thinking we could play truth or dare or something after, I brought drinks." Namjoon suggested, and everyone nodded. "Sounds fun." Hoseok said, "Aslong as none of you guys are sick in the house."

Taehyung looked to you suddenly, and you averted your gaze.
"I'm going to the bathroom," you excused yourself, getting up and leaving the room.

You couldn't remember which door downstairs was the bathroom, so you went upstairs to the one in Hoseoks room.
You cleaned up a little, so you'd look fine if you ended up having to strip for the hot tub. As you were leaving his room, a figure on the bed caught your eye.

You froze, staring at it for a moment in the darkness until it spoke. "Hey, Y/N."
It was Jungkook.
"H-hi." You stuttered, slightly alarmed at the sudden appearance. "Everything okay?" You asked, and he nodded. "Yeah," he sighed, and you walked closer, sitting next to him. "Are you sure?"

He was still for a moment, then he smiled. "I'm sorry for worrying you. I want you to know that I think I'm better now, and I got over it."
"Got over it? What?" You asked, eyebrows laced together. Your hand was on his shoulder now, trying to comfort, just in case he needed it.

"You." He said, "I was so angry, with myself, with Taehyung... you know why, but now I'm letting it go." He murmured, and you felt taken aback. "W-what?" You whispered, and he frowned, lifting his hand to your back now.

"I want you to be happy." He said, smiling at you.

"I- I don't understand." You admitted, worried. Jungkook sighed, beginning to speak. "I mean, I know your true feelings-"

"Hey, I wondered where you guys went," Jin said from the doorway, turning on the light, interrupting your moment. You stared at Jungkook for a moment more, before he stood up and began for the door. He looked back to you, smiling comfortingly.
