Taehyung woke up, got dressed and half ran to the school. He needed to talk to Jungkook before he saw Jimin. He needed his opinion before he thought of what he needed to do. First lesson was Chemistry: that meant he was going to be with Jimin and Jungkook to start the project. He was planning on telling them about those shiny-people or whatever her mother called them.
When he reached the school he quickly headed for the cafeteria, he knew where exactly Jungkook got his breakfast. He was kind of surprised of seeing him sitting with Yoongi and Hoseok, and kind of jealous. He shook that thought away, he was done bullying people for being too close to Jungkook. He went closer to the table. Jungkook didn’t see him, he had his back to the door. He was kind of startled when Tae put a hand on his shoulder. He leaned in and said:
“Can I talk to you for a second? It won’t take long.”
Jungkook gulped. He didn’t expect this to be good.
“Sure yea, what’s up?”
“In private.”
Jungkook eyed his new friends for help, but they just got up and mumbled something about needing to go. They just sat few tables further. Before they went, Taehyung winked at Hoseok and got an eye roll from Yoongi. He walked around the table and sat across from Jungkook.
“Yeah hyung? What did you wanna say?” he expected a response like ‘get away from my life’ or ‘don’t go near Jimin and me again’ or even ‘you ruined what I had with Jimin’. He would have understood if he said that. He had caused a lot of trouble. He didn’t know just how much was his fault but he guessed that he wasn’t wanted anymore. Instead though, he got something much more unexpected, a smile.
“Okay tell me, how do you feel about all this?”
“I- what?”
“I realised we were being douchebags by not asking you how you were. So now I’m asking you, I wanna now. Be honest, tell me how you feel.”
“Uh…”
“Okay. I’ll go first.” he sighed. “I thought a lot about this yesterday.”
“About what?”
“Our… awkward situation.”
“What is there to think about? You’re dating Jimin. I’m the odd one out here. I’m the bad guy. I’ll back off.”
“It’s not that easy. You’re not the bad guy. I’m the one who kissed you.”
“And I’m the one who didn’t push you away as I should have.”
“No.”
“...no?”
“You’ve made me realise something really important. I still have feelings for you Jungkook. Yes, I’m in love with Jimin. I get the rush whenever I’m around him and I love it. But, in a sick way, I’m also… in love with you.”
Jungkook was dumbfounded. Wasn’t this what he wanted? Taehyung confessing to him? So why didn’t he feel happy? It was as if something was missing. They couldn’t date, they couldn’t be together, Tae loved Jimin and he was dating him.
“Why are you telling this to me now? It doesn’t matter now. It’s not gonna change anything!”
“Of course it will! I’m telling you all this because I want to hear what you think and feel.”
“What do you want to know?” Jungkook sighed. He had given up reasoning.
“Just, spill your guts. I can tell you, it feels good. Right now, think of me as your diary. I will not tell anyone or judge you. I just want you to open up like I just did.”
