Jungkook doesn't see much of Taehyung for the rest of the day, spending most of his time prepping for their upcoming photoshoots.

As the day comes to an end Taehyung comes down to get him, knowing that the younger often lets time get away from him while he's working.

The brunette stands in the doorway for a moment watching Jungkook work, the younger's features hard with concentration as he counts and labels the garment bags.

Taehyung knocks on the open door to get his attention, the younger looking up a bit startled. "Hey, it's getting late."

    "Yeah, I'm wrapping things up now." Jungkook says taking the pen from behind his ear and scribbling something down.

Taehyung stands awkwardly for a moment before speaking. "Can we talk?"

    "Now?" The younger asks without looking up.

    "Please." The brunette says walking into the room and closing the door.

Jungkook looks up at the sound of the door closing. "Just let me finish this up, it'll only take a minute."

    "Sure." Taehyung says sitting down on the couch, waiting for him.

Jungkook labels the rest of the garment bags and adds them to the checklist, hesitating slightly when he goes to take a seat beside Taehyung.

    "What's up?" He says, he knows exactly what's up but he panics and that's the first thing that comes out.

    "It's about Gagi Fashion." Taehyung starts. "When you first told me about it I was kind of, no, I was totally an asshole about it."

    "I was an asshole for telling you that way." Jungkook says quickly. "Jin told me that you were the one to give Namjoon my designs in the first place. I didn't know~"

    "Only because I didn't tell you." The brunette says. "I was going to but I was just, I was afraid to. I know that sounds crazy but I was. It was so selfish and I should've came out with it the second I found out but I'm afraid of losing you, Jungkook."

    "I'm afraid of losing you too." The younger says, a feeling of relief washing over him.

    "I'm afraid of losing you but I'm even more afraid of holding you back." Taehyung says. "You have so much potential, Jungkook. I've known from the day I met you that you could be great and you can be, you will be if you go now."

    "But I'd never be happy, you make me happy, Taehyung. I love you. I love you more than designing~"

    "Don't say shit like that, Jungkook." The brunette says standing up from the couch, walking over to the window and staring out. "Designing was your passion and it always will be."

    "Passions change." Jungkook says stand and facing him.

    "You can't change your dreams based on a person, especially not me." Taehyung says, his tone snappy. "You've always wanted to be a designer, you have the potential to be great and you're telling me you'd rather stay in Seoul, for what, me? That's so immature."

    "Is it immature? To be in love with you?" The younger asks, his voice sounding hurt.

    "No. It's immature to let a relationship, that you haven't even been in for a year, dictate your future." The brunette says turning and facing him. "I would go if I were you."

    "But you aren't me. And if it's my decision to stay~"

    "You can't stay in Seoul~"

    "I'm not going." Jungkook says, already making up his mind.
