chapter 21

On the next day Jungkook avoided Taehyung at all costs. But Taehyung had a different idea. While they both were in class, Taehyung couldn't stand up and go to Jungkook. But he could after that.

Jungkook was the first one to leave the classroom while watching Taehyung, to be sure, he didn't follow him. But as soon as he looked at Taehyung, he was staring in his eyes.

fuck, Jungkook thought, gotta run fast. He fled into the toilets to lock himself in a stall. Secretly he even planned to live his whole life in this damn stall.

"Jungkook, you know, if someone doesn't want to be found, the first place they go to are the toilets." spoke the voice of the person Jungkook wanted to see the least. Jungkook didn't respond.

"I even know in which stall you are. I'll give you a tip, if you want to hide from me, raise your legs from the floor."

"Fuck." Jungkook murmured to himself. Quickly he raised his legs even if it's not worth it anymore. He heard a quiet laugh, followed by a knock on his door.

"You're in here, right?" Taehyung asked. "Come on. Unlock the door, Jungkook. I'm not something you need to be afraid of."

Jungkook sighed. "No." "What no?" Taehyung asked while a click was heard. Jungkook raised his head to see the door opening. He quickly stood up to face Taehyung. "You know, it's possible to crack these doors."

"Uhm, hi." Jungkook said with an awkward smile. Taehyung raised an eyebrow. Taehyung didn't know how fast Jungkook's heart was beating against his chest. It nearly was painful.

Jungkook wanted to switch places with Taehyung, so that he would be in front of the door and could, once again, flee. He already raised his arms to Taehyung's shoulders while the other had other plans.

Taehyung grabbed Jungkook by the arms and slammed him at the door. "Don't even dare to run away again." Taehyung warned Jungkook while he scanned Jungkook's face.

Jungkook gulped visibly. "I... uh... didn't... didn't want to... uh... to run away." he stuttered. Taehyung giggled. "Sure." he said. "Could you... could you l-let me go?" Jungkook asked, pointing at Taehyung's hands, which held Jungkook's body.

Taehyung smirked. He put his hand beside Jungkook's head. "Better?" "Uh... yeah, I mean... no... uh..." "Why are you so shy?" Taehyung asked.

Jungkook looked away. "You know why..." "It's not an everyday thing to be pressed against the wall by his crush, so look at me." Jungkook got red.

Taehyung grabbed Jungkook's chin and turned his head towards himself. Jungkook's now facing him. "Please." Jungkook fought with his mind - yes or no? - but in the end he looked in Taehyung's eyes.

"Why'd you block me?" Taehyung asked. "I don't wanna bother you with... uh... my feelings, you know..." Jungkook, once again, stuttered. "Jungkook, you don't bother me at all."

Jungkook gathered all his courage together, breathed in and out and stood straight. "Then why did you ignore me for a month?" he asked, proud of himself because he didn't stutter.

"I- I remembered all you said about Taehyung and it turns out to be me and I kinda got shy and... I just didn't really know how to react. I know this was like the shittiest way-" "You're right." Jungkook interrupted.

"Listen to me." Taehyung said seriously. Shivers ran down Jungkook's back. "My behavior was wrong, okay? I apologize."

"Okay." Jungkook said flustered. He wasn't in the right condition for more words. "Can you let me go now?" He looked into Taehyung's eyes.

"Why? You don't like this position?" Taehyung smirked. "Stop smirking so stupid with that mouth of yours." Jungkook rolled his eyes.

"Oh? Thought you like me smirking." "Oh my god, Taehyung stop." whined Jungkook. "I said so many embarrassing things to you, oh my god." Jungkook covered his eyes with his hands.

"In fact, yeah, you did." Taehyung agreed. "But, uhm, it doesn't matter, right?"

"Yeah, right." Jungkook murmured. "Now, you wanna let me go?" "Actually..." Taehyung's mind was blank. This whole situation was so welcoming, he had to take this chance.

Taehyung put his hands away and Jungkook calmed down. But then Taehyung grabbed Jungkook again, placing his hands on his hips, pulling him closer.

Jungkook was about to protest when Taehyung placed his lips on Jungkook's. Taehyung wasted no time and started moving against Jungkook's lips.

Jungkook visibly struggled with his emotions but in the end he kissed back and was dying inside. Taehyung didn't even know why he kissed him.

Maybe he could give Jungkook the love he deserved. Taehyung felt something but — love? He wasn't sure. He pulled away and looked at Jungkook with apologetic eyes. "I'm sorry for being the one you love." Taehyung sighed as he slowly let go of Jungkook. Jungkook didn't proceed whatever Taehyung just said, he was too stunned by the kiss.

"Can... can you kiss me again?" Jungkook quietly asked. Taehyung's heart started beating a little bit faster. "I- I'm sorry. You don't wanna live a lie." Taehyung said, also quietly. Silence occupied them. "I'll... I will go now." Jungkook turned around to unlock the door.

"Jungkook?" As he stepped out of the stall, Taehyung spoke up again. Jungkook turned around as an answer. "I'm sorry."

"You said that already." Jungkook said with a sad smile and walked away.
