Best Friends part 1

Requested by the wonderful @taekookies04 😚💜 thank you so much for this idea! ✨ it was very creative and I had so much fun writing it 💖💗

"He's so hot!" Taehyung burbled as he and Jungkook took their usual route home from high school. It was one of the many peeks of being best friends AND neighbours- they got to walk together. Only recently, Jungkook hadn't been enjoying it much.

Could you really blame him? Could ANYONE enjoy having to listen to the love of their life gush about someone else day after day, week after week? Especially that someone else being Park Jimin, the golden boy of the whole school who Jungkook knew he couldn't hold a candle to.

"I swear when he walked past me today I felt the chemistry between us even though we didn't even touch! And when we were having lunch, he smiled and waved at me! Can you believe it, Kookie?" Tae drawled, grinning his beautiful boxy smile. Jungkook smiled too- but it was fake.

"Yes, hyung, of course I can believe it. Who wouldn't want to smile at you? Jimin would be lucky to have you," Jungkook said, coming out a little sharper than he meant. Tae didn't even seem to notice.

"You're so sweet to me, Kookie, I'm so glad I'll have you as my best friend forever," he said innocently, linking their arms. Jungkook swallowed, the forever hitting him like a ton of bricks. Because best friends is all they would ever be.

Taehyung must've seen Jungkook wince because he stopped walking and stared at him worriedly. "Kookie? We are best friends, aren't we?"

"Of course we are."

"Forever?"

"Yes, Tae, forever," Jungkook said wearily. And as the two went back to Jungkook's house and spent the whole evening watching crappy K-dramas and eating way too much junk food, Jungkook cheered up. If he couldn't have Taehyung as his lover, then maybe being the best friend was the second best thing.

***

Being the best friend was not the second best thing. It wasn't the third, fourth, fifth, sixth, hundredth best thing. It was, undoubtedly, the worst thing in all the world.

Jungkook knew what was coming the moment Taehyung knocked on his door that morning, fluffy hair tousled, honey eyes sparkling. He scarcely had time to breathe before Taehyung burst out- "Oh Kookie, you'll never guess what!"

Jungkook guessed. The whole street probably guessed as Taehyung screamed at the top of his lungs- "JIMIN ASKED ME ON A DATE!"

Jungkook was reeling. He felt his heart crack like a wooden boat and sink sadly into his stomach. He bit his lip, trying desperately to fight the tears in his eyes. "That's... great," he let out flatly.

The strange thing was, Taehyung didn't notice. The two had known each other since they were in diapers. They could always suss out how they were feeling- it was like they could see through little windows in each other's foreheads into their minds.

But now, all Taehyung could seem to see was Jimin. It was as if that oh-so-charming face was plastered onto his eyelids.

"It is great, isn't it? I can't believe it! Me! Me of all people! I was just chilling on my bed, going through Instagram like ya do- and then bam! A text from the hottest boy in the whole world! Asking me to go out on a date with him!" Tae squealed as he slung his purple satchel over his shoulder and stepped out onto the sidewalk.

"That's not very romantic," Jungkook mumbled. "He could've asked you in person."

Taehyung looked at his best friend almost pityingly. "Oh, Kookie. It doesn't matter to me. You'll understand when you fall in love."

I am in love! Jungkook shrieked inside his head. I'm in love with you!

He couldn't get the words out. Instead, he stretched his lips into a smile and proceeded to ask Taehyung all about Jimin and his date. Taehyung was happy to talk about it all the way to school, then he waved a quick goodbye to Jungkook before skipping off to Jimin, who snaked an arm around his Taehyung. They walked off together with scarcely a backward glance.

As the weeks went on, Taehyung began to spend less and less time with Jungkook and more and more time with Jimin. Taehyung was happy with Jimin- anyone could see that. So why couldn't Jungkook just be happy for them? Why couldn't he do that for his best friend? Was he really that selfish?

It was another boring evening for Jungkook, lying on his bed eating chips. Alone. Again. He was just thinking off all the time he and Taehyung spent together when suddenly his phone buzzed. He rushed to answer it, fingers fumbling so much he almost hung up on the caller.

"Kookie?"

Jungkook froze, his fingers tightening on the phone. "Tae?"

A sweet giggle sounded from the other end of the phone, a sound that never failed to melt Jungkook's heart,

"Of course, you weirdo. Listen, do you wanna come round?"

"Come round? As in... go to your place?"

"What else would I mean?"

Jungkook swore he could've leapt 12 foot into the air with glee. Instead, he grinned, a real grin, and eagerly replied. "Oh! Of course then! I'd love to! I mean- cool. Um, yeah! I'll be over in a sec! Hehe... bye! See you soon! See you in like three seconds-"

"Stop burbling on at me and get your ass over here!" Taehyung giggled before hanging up. Jungkook hurriedly grabbed all his things, humming to himself with a dumb smile plastered on his face. Taehyung hadn't forgotten him. He wanted to hang out with him, not Jimin. So Jungkook still came first with Tae, just as Tae came first with him. He felt as if he was rocketing right up to the stars.

Little did he know, he was going to fall right back down to earth again with a bang.
