"Jungkook what's wrong??" Taehyung said frantically as he stared at a black screen which he assumed was Jungkook's room.

"Jimin.." Jungkook choked out.

Ouch.

Taehyung winced, still forgetting to tell him that his real name. 

His eyes softened as he heard Jungkook's sobs through the phone with his heart clenching in pain. 

Even though he had no idea what was going on, he knew that asking what happened would probably just make things 10 billion times worse. 

(dr stone watchers were you at)

"Shh..." he said softly, hoping that his voice would be able to help calm him down. "I'm here for you, take your time until you are comfortable."

He heard Jungkook sniffle, his breathing still shaky. Taehyung waited patiently in the dark, making sure not to pressure Jungkook as he was not uttering a single word.

After 10 minutes of silent, Taehyung spoke gently, "Jungkook..? Can you turn on your light..?" 

It was a bit of a selfish and thoughtful request, but he could not help but just be curious about what Jungkook would look like.  

Jungkook didn't respond. Taehyung bit his tongue, Shit did I ask it too sudden- 

"If you don't want to it's okay-"

"Can you turn your light on too then...?" Jungkook whispered.

Taehyung gulped, his voice was very soft and high pitched for somebody a few years younger than him.

He hummed in agreement. 

"Okay.. but we have to close our eyes and open them at the same time."

Taehyung chuckled, "Got it."

They both flicked on their lights, eyes still closed. 

"Three.." Taehyung said softly, his heart pounding in excitement.

"Two.." Jungkook followed.

"One." 

They both opened their eyes.

Holy fucking mother of shitting god my pants just became 10 billion times tighter help what no why-

Taehyung stared in awe at Jungkook's face. 

Even though his eyes were puffy and his cheeks were evidently drenched in tears, Taehyung still felt his breath taken away by Jungkook's undeniably perfect features. 

His fluffy brown hair, crescent eyes, thin lips, everything about his face just made Taehyung's heart want to pop out of his ribs.

Jungkook's eyes were also wide as the two stared at each other in silence, taking in the other's face.

"H-Hey.." Taehyung was the first to talk after a while.

"Do you uh, you know, want to um.. talk about.." Taehyung kept fumbling up his words, rubbing the back of his neck awkwardly.

Jungkook looked hesitant, "It's.. it's all my fault.." Jungkook murmured. 

"What is..?" Taehyung said delicately, afraid that if he said anymore the boy would shatter like glass. 

He could already see pieces of Jungkook chipping away slowly.

Jungkook opened his eyes slowly, only to find himself be staring at someone brighter than the sun.
