It's been few months since Taehyung finally decided to confess to Jungkook and it's been few months since Jungkook rejected him, saying that he doesn't reciprocate his feelings.
It was tough for Taehyung but over the months he made peace with it. He knew since the beginning that he didn't have a big chance with the maknae so his rejection wasn't that much of a surprise. It still hurt him little bit though. On the other hand he was glad and proud of himself for coming clean and saying it.
First few weeks were little bit awkward between them. The older felt awkward because now Jungkook knew about his feelings and the maknae felt bad for breaking his heart but he couldn't force himself to do something he didn't want to. After few weeks, however, the things between them went back to normal and they were able to interact just like they did before. Taehyung's feelings of course didn't go away but he accepted his faith and he was just glad that they still remained friends because that was the one thing he was afraid the most – loosing Jungkook.
Those months were tough for Jungkook as well. He felt bad for hurting Taehyung but there was nothing he could do about it. He couldn't force himself to feel something he didn't. So when they went back to being friends, he was happy.
He was happily spending time with the older, playing video games, fooling around, just like before. They were still sharing subtle touches and hugs. The only thing that changed was that Taehyung didn't sneak to his room in the middle of the night to cuddle and sleep with him whenever he couldn't sleep or something was bothering him and Jungkook realized he missed it. The older was always the one to initiate things and come to the younger, Jungkook wasn't the type of person to just come to someone and lie down and cuddle.
But one evening, three months after Taehyung's confession, he finally made himself do it. It's been couple of tough days for him, they've been working hard, he was exhausted and he was on the edge. He really needed some contact and the short hugs or touches weren't enough.
So that is how he found himself sneak into the older's room in the middle of the night. Taehyung's breathing was slow and steady, indicating that he was fast asleep. The maknae closed the distance between the door and the bed, raised the sheets and slipped behind the sleeping body, covering them both and spooning him. As soon as he pressed himself close to the other and wrapped his arm around his torso, he felt shuffling.
"Kookie?" Taehyung spoke up in a raspy voice.
"Go back to sleep, Tae," Jungkook whispered against his nape.
"Is something wrong?" the older broke the silence again. He was confused, they haven't done this for months and the maknae was never the one to come to him in all those years.
"I just can't sleep,"
Taehyung rolled over slowly, so now he was facing the younger. His eyes were still heavy with the sleep but he just couldn't fall asleep again right now. Jungkook was looking at him with big eyes.
"Is something happening?" the older spoke up quietly. He could sense that the younger was tense.
"It's just been couple of rough days. All the work and photo shoots and tonight my mum called, asking me when I come visit them, she was nearly crying," Jungkook finally got out with a sigh.
