More than just friends

Quarente neuf

"You may begin." The teacher said as soon as all the papers were handed out.

Taehyung let out a determined sigh, quickly scribbling his name on the front page before turning it and tackling the first exercices.

He wasn't surprised by what he saw, simply going straight to solving the first probleme as he pushed his glasses further atop his head. His pen seeed to glide over the paper almost automatically, writing down the messy numbers his brain dictated. Whilst solving the very last step, his mind wandered to Jimin, who was on the other side of the classroom.

He looked up shortly, interrupting his solving to stare at the older, who was staring blankly at his paper, unmoving. Taehyung couldn't help but chuckle at the empty expression he had in front of the math exam.

Seeing Jimin made him think of all the things that had happened ever since that one day it had rained, that one day in the midst of the month of decembre, when he'd met a certain boy who knew nothing of his existence, under that one bus stop.

He chuckled again, shaking his head slightly at the short pang of nostalgia before he got back to his exercice.

So much had changed since then.

He'd met Jungkook, they were now a couple, he had friends that he was slowly starting to trust and appreciated.

His thoughts were now wondering to the wonderful night he'd spent with him, a small smirk etching on his calm features as his pen scribbled down demonstrations he knew by heart.

Jungkook's soft moans replayed into his mind, his sweet voice still nestled into his ear.

"Fuck, I love you."

Taehyung's eyes widened, his pen stopping to hover above his paper.

His eyes shifted to the back of the student in front of him, completely zoned out.

Had Jungkook let those words slip during sex? Was he upset because he hadn't said it back?

Taehyung figured he could call whatever he felt for Jungkook love at this point, but frankly he never really thought to say it. The two never really spoke verbally of their feelings for each other, and now that Taehyung was thinking about it he wasn't even sure if he'd ever told Jungkook that he even liked him.

But Jungkook had told him he loved him.

But did he really? Or was it just in the heat of sex?

Taehyung ran a hand through his hair frustratedly, telling himself that he'd worry about the matter once he'd finished his exam.

But the question was still nagging at him, his heart warmed up at the slight possibility that Jungkook also felt so strongly about him he would dare call it Love.

Unbeknownst to him, he finished his math exam with a small smile on his face.

Jungkook slipped his shirt off as the boys of the football team all changed alongside him in the lockers.

"Stop stressing out Jeonhal!" Jimin yelled as he slapped said boy's butt. "We'll murder them don't worry."

"But this is an important match!" Jeonhal answered as he turned around, displaying his red face and naked torso to the rest of the boys as he protested. "Plus you still have tape on your wrist!"

Jimin shrugged, pulling his jersey over his hair.

"Hansol will help." He smiled, sitting on the bench to tie his shoelaces.

Jungkook chuckled at the interaction, noticing Hoseok who ruffled Jimin's hair before walking out.

Their interactions reminded him of Taehyung.

He slowly walked out of the lockers, shoes untied, before his eyes widened and he almost fell face first into the grass. (Good thing Leehwan was there to catch him.)

Last night, when they had had sex, he'd told Taehyung that he loved him.

Oh fuck...He thought.

Taehyung hadn't really reacted but knowing him he was probably only now realising the sentence that had been said and it's meaning. But for Taehyung who never really expressed his feelings for him, maybe jumping to 'I love you' was a little ambitious.

Maybe it freaked him out?

Thousands of thoughts clouded Jungkook's anxious mind as he entered the field, a few people already settling in the bleachers.

He knew it was absolutely not the best place to overthink this  but he just couldn't help it.

"Hello Sangmin." Taehyung said with a small smile as his eyes came in contact with the ones of a short woman, her short pastel purple hair tied into a small bun, low on her head and arm wrapped around the waist of the man he'd met the day before.

He bowed deeply, looking back to Sangmin with a grin as he greeted the both of them, being comically polite  with Jaehyun.

Taehyung smiled brightly as they both laughed at him, happy to hear sangmin had finally found someone to love.

He stuffed his hands in the royal blue hoodie he was snuggly wrapped in, the man's eyes going to the name "Jeon." printed in bright yellow on the back of the sweater, chuckling slightly.

The three entered the fields, being lead to some of the back seats on the bleachers, that were already pretty packed.

The teams were greeting each other as a  short opening to the match, Taehyung smiling proudly as he spotted his boyfriend on the field, with his yellow and blue jersey.

He pointed towards him, Sangmin and Jaehyun smiling as they looked at him as well.

Taehyung frowned slightly as the game started though, and it got deeper as the game progressed, seeing Jungkook really didn't seem to be in his normal state.
