Tsunduko
Jungkook didn't expect his beautiful best friend to have feelings for him but one night and a few drink changes things the way Jungkook wasn't prepared for.
Or, one where a panicked Jungkook hurts his best friends and realises his mistake.
~~
Jungkook screwed up.
Jungkook knew that. All five guys in the room knew that. Nobody said a word about it but they all knew. The uncomfortable feeling was palpable n the room. Taehyung moved out to take the call and it was, as a concept, new to their group dynamics. They never needed to hide stuff from each other. They all looked at Jungkook, not directly -- but Jungkook could feel their eyes on him...silently contemplating amongst themselves if anyone should say something. Jungkook was the most transparent person ever, especially when it came to certain blonde-haired boy, Taehyung who was currently too busy on phone to pay any attention to the weird silence that had taken over the room.
Jimin looked at Yoongi, barely able to control his displeased expression – as if he would prefer to be anywhere but here. Yoongi shook his head with a barest of movement. No, Don't. Jimin rolled his eyes as if to say 'are you kidding me?'
Taehyung entered the room and looked around as everyone pretended to be doing something or other. Namjoon and yoongi decided the chess board pattern are way too interesting. Jimin found that the four-year-old coffee stain on table needed immediate attention to clean it.
"Ah ...Uhmm" Jin coughed, startling everyone in the small room. "So, Taehyung, I heard you and Seo Hyun are dating?"
Yoongi facepalmed.
Namjoon stiffened in his chair.
Hoseok decided to focus on scrolling through his phone.
Jungkook felt his heart drop. Damn!! He gulped, trying to appear as nonchalant as possible. He wasn't affected. Of course not.
"Umm...yeah, not exactly" Taehyung replied as he plopped himself in front of TV.
Jungkook tried not to look up from his chopping board where he was cutting some pieces of fruits for juice. Jungkook suddenly craved juice.
"What do you mean?" Jin narrowed his eyes.
Jungkook tried to ignore the rapidly beating heart in his chest. It's none of my business. Taehyung can date whomever he wants.
"Well, we are going out, but he hasn't like officially asked me or something!" Taehyung shrugged his shoulders as if it was no big deal.
"So... what you guys are just...?" Jin looked at Taehyung, perplexed. Taehyung is not the kind of guy to 'just fool around' with other guys. He didn't even have too many past relationships to begin with. He went on a few dates and might have hooked up with one or two people in the past but those barely count as relationship. The one dumb idiot he proposed to, rejected him because he was too much of a coward.
"Fuck buddies.... yeah, you can say that!"
The said dumb idiot suddenly turned on the juicer, the shrill noise of mixer blades crushing ice drowned out Taehyung's voice although Jungkook could still clearly hear his response. If anything, it annoyed the hell out of him. The loud noise made everyone jump up except Taehyung who didn't look at Jungkook, instead continuing to focus on some random ad on TV.
Jin glared at Jungkook. This is all your fault.
Jungkook tried to avoid meeting his eyes. Technically, it was. His fault, that is or at least that was a shared opinion among all of friends.
