Jungkook has to make up for something by naming all the things he loves about his best friend.
A confession happens along the way.
----
''Jimin I fucked up'' Jungkook spoke into the speaker, sweat running down his forehead while he walked up and down in his bedroom.
'' What did you do?'' came the confused voice of his cousin. He was probably in the dance studio as Jungkook was able to hear the faint sound of music and sneakers making noises on the ground in the background.
''I...Taehyung found my list...'' he said, voice breaking off by the end.
''What list?''
''I...might have a list in which I write stuff about Tae every time he annoys me...you know...''
Silence.
'' You what?''
''I...I don't even know, Chim...I started it back in elementary school to tease him and just kept going but he was never supposed to find it!'' the other cried out, his voice rising in volume.
''Okay slow down big boy, tell me exactly what happened'' Jimin demanded.
''TaeTae was over-''
''The usual''
''Yes, the usual. I went to the bathroom and when I came back he-he was crying...''
'' He WHAT? Jungkook what kind of stuff could be on this list to make him cry? I mean you tell him he's annoying on a daily basis so-''
''That he is ugly...''
Again, a short-lived silence.
''Excuse me? Have you seen Kim Taehyung and how you are thirsting over his ass? Ugly? Tae?''
''I...Jimin...I don't even know myself, okay? Sometimes he just says these things and confuses me which makes me angry so I write stuff to forget about his stupid words and face and ass''
''What kind of things?''
''T-that he loves me and stuff...''
'' So because you're a fucking virgin that can't handle feelings you write shit about your very sensitive best friend? Really, Guk?''
''I don't even mean them Hyung! It's just a way to cool down whenever he stares at me too long with his stupid pretty eyes or when he keeps such a straight face while saying all this embarrassing stuff I-...I just gotta get myself back to the ground and writing oddly helps''
There was a long sigh on the other line before Jimin spoke up again,
''What else was on there?''
''T-that he is ugly, annoying, stupid as shit for thinking I'll ever like his annoying ass...''
''Ouch.''
Jungkook winced himself while reading out the things written on the list.
''He looked so sad Jimin what do I do?'' Jungkook cried out, the tears that had made their way to his eyes threatening to roll over his cheeks.
Jungkook might tell his best friend that he annoys him and yes, he had openly rejected him several times but it had never meant anything. His so-called rejections happened whenever Taehyung would call him things (cute, pretty, handsome etc) and were only a flustered reaction to them, mostly consisting of him telling the other to shut up.
