Jungkook slowly opened his eyes. He wasn't at home. Where was he?.

|Ah, that's right|

He turned, looking at Taehyung who remained asleep. Jungkook smiled and stared at the sleeping beauty who laid beside him.

Jungkook licked his own lips, leaning down and pecking Taehyung softly on the lips.

Taehyung suddenly sighs and pulls Jungkook into a gentle kiss.

|Shit. I thought he was sleep|

Taehyung pulls away with a smile. Jungkook blushes and smiles back. "You're adorable" Taehyung says, the smaller boy giggling shyly.

"Well...you're handso..." Jungkook mumbled the last part shyly. Taehyung chuckled and sat up.
"What was that?. Sorry, couldn't quite catch that?. Did i just hear you call me handsome??" Taehyung said with an exaggerated gasp.

Jungkook laughed softly, slamming Taehyung's shoulder playfully. "Oh shut up!. You heard me" he says with a smile.

Taehyung laughs with him and smiles, gripping Jungkook's hand gently, he kissed it lightly. "We're ten minutes late for school" Taehyung says in a normal sounding voice. Jungkook gasps, standing up suddenly.

"Taehyung. We have to go, come on!. Don't just sit there...walk me to school" Jungkook said shyly, his cheeks bright red.

Taehyung immediately stood up and walked to the front door. He slipped his shoes on and Jungkook did the same. They walked outside, the freezing air nipping at their skin.

Taehyung held out his hand for Jungkook, who took it slowly. They walked together, their hands intertwined.

Jungkook looked up at Taehyung with a shy smile. Taehyung returning the smile. He wanted to kiss Jungkook again, but they were in public. He didn't know what Jungkook was comfortable with.

They walked all the way to school, which wasn't much work. They both lived close by. But Jungkook was already out of breath.

Suddenly out of nowhere, he see's a familiar old friend. "Holy shit" Jungkook says, squeezing Taehyung's hand tighter.

"What's wrong?" Taehyung asks. "Nothing..." Jungkook replies, getting a frown from the other boy.

The two walk inside the school, still holding each other's hand tightly.

"Jungkook...i need to go to PE, can we talk after school?. I need to talk about something serious" Taehyung says with a smile, letting Jungkook's hand go.

Jungkook nodded "Yeah. Sure, i'll see you later Tae..." Jungkook said, Taehyung blushed at the nickname and quickly pecked Jungkook's forehead before dashing off.

Jungkook giggled and touched his forehead.

|God. Kim Taehyung...|

Jungkook jumps slightly as someone pokes his shoulder. He turns around, immediately gasping. His eyes widened. Holy shit

|Oh my god...|

"Peter!!" Jungkook shouted. He hugged Peter tightly. Peter laughed happily and hugged back.

"Jungkookie!~. I missed you so much!" Peter said.

Jungkook pulled away, staring at his old friends beautiful features.

He had freckles, soft purple hair and light brown eyes. He wore a pink hoodie and tims.

|Whoa...Peter!. He looks so good!|

"You look amazing, Peter!" Jungkook said, blush lightly dusting his cheeks.

Peter smiled and held Jungkook's hands. "Jungkook. I came back for you. My family, i left them behind. I'm living with my sister downtown now. I know i was harsh to you the last time we spoke, but you were right. I need to accept myself more, even if the consequences are harsh. My family disowned me. But I don't care, i have you. I have my sister. And now i have this school to come back to" Peter said with a gummy smile.

|Ah, that's right...two years ago|

"Jungkook. I can't keep having this conversation with you!. No more!. I can't come out to my mom and pa. You know that won't end well" Peter shouts. Jungkook grips his wrist, stopping the taller boy from running off.

"Peter!. Please. Believe me...i know what you're going through. I know. But you have to accept yourself. If you come out, you prove you aren't the degrading words your family tells you that you are!. You push yourself forward. You fight for your rights. You are just as human as they are. As anyone else!. And if they don't accept you, so what. Fuck them. You have me. You're always welcome to crash at my place for as long as you want. I'll always be here for you" Jungkook takes a deep breath.

"I lov-" Jungkook's interrupted by Peter pulling his hand back. "Just stop. Jungkook, i know you mean well. But not everyone was blessed enough to have two mothers...now just...leave me alone..." Peter says, his voice fading away as he walked away from Jungkook.

"No...Peter..." Jungkook whispered sadly.

|I was hurt...but, i wasn't hurt because he wouldn't come out. I was hurt because he mentioned my mom's...if only he knew what was really happening. And yeah, sure. I'm more privileged than some. I still have an alcoholic mother and tough life to get by. I understood his struggles and tried my best to offer a solution. I'm not the best at advice, if you couldn't already tell...|

Jungkook smiled softly. "Peter...i missed you so much. I'm so glad you're back, as yourself this time" he said. Peter giggled and hugged Jungkook again, letting go quickly.

"Shall we catch up?. There's been a lot happening lately. I'm sure that's the case for you too" Peter says, gripping Jungkook's hand.

Jungkook sighed looking up at Peter. "Peter..i have to go to class. But after school we can talk for a little bit, okay?. I'm sorry" Jungkook says.

Peter sighs and nods. "I understand. We'll talk then. See you after school, Jungkookie~" Peter says with a small wink.

Jungkook gulps and walks away, his head a jumbled mess.
