After walking through the hospital a bit and even having a nice conversation with a doctor, Jungkook made his way back to Taehyung's room, feeling a tad guilty for leaving him alone like that. Infront of his room, Jungkook knocked quietly before entering.

A gentle breeze greeted him and the first thing he saw was the opened window with a beautiful sunset. His eyes roamed the room until they landed landed on Taehyung who sat on his bed, body facing the window. Looks like the others already left.

The soft wind made his hair float, the sunlight causing his skin to glow in a golden color. Taehyung's eyes looked somehow sad and guilt hit Jungkook like a punch to the gut. Was he feeling sad because of him? Gulping, Jungkook decided it was for the best if he just left without a word but a deep voice made him stop in his tracks.

"'I'll be back', huh?"

"I'm sorry.. I lost track of time." the brunette apologised quietly, but Taehyung waved it off.

"S-should I go?"

Looking at Taehyung hesitantly with his hand still on the doorknob, Jungkook waited for an answer. But the older stayed quiet and continued staring outside. Slowly but surely, Jungkook felt himself get nervous as he watched Taehyung cluelessly.

The older knew for sure that he didn't want him to go. The past 30 minutes he thought about what the Maknae was doing to him. Taehyung's heart was always beating faster when they were together, he was blushing more and more often, although the blonde was aware of that he shouldn't even be blushing in the first place.

Why was his face heating up and his cheeks burning each time the younger came closer to him? Why did he feel butterflies dancing in his stomach during every kiss they had shared? Why couldn't he stop thinking about the cinema where Jungkook deliberately kissed him? Why, just why did he enjoy the younger's company?

Taehyung was oblivious to his growing feelings, though it was obvious for everyone watching. Even for blind people. The only one who didn't see it was Jungkook, the person it would be the most important for— but he was just as blind as Taehyung. Sighing internally, Taehyung turned his head towards Jungkook who was still standing in the doorway with a helpless look.

"S-so? S-should I..." Jungkook's voice got quiet, his stare meeting Taehyung's.

The older didn't say anything and just continued to look into Jungkook's eyes. And the younger honestly didn't know what to do. His hyung's beautiful and mysterious orbs made the brunette lose himself in them. Somehow, his eyes emitted a certain uneasyness making it seem like he didn't know what do, but also desperation. As if he was reaching out to someone with both arms, waiting for someone to be there for him.

Meanwhile, Taehyung tried to read the younger's expression. Jungkook's stare changed from not having a clue to being lost in his eyes, Taehyung could sense it. It was so quiet, the model feared that his loud heartbeat could be heard. Before a blush could erupt on his cheeks, he looked down, still not answering the younger.

Jungkook watched the older's head hang down a bit before closing the door and walking to Taehyung with fast steps. The older looked up in surprise and suddenly Jungkook felt like he wasn't in his right mind. Their stares met again and immediately wandered down to the other's slightly parted lips.

Slowly, Jungkook sat down right infront of Taehyung, not a single word being said so far. Their heartbeats started to quicken rapidly as they shyly looked up into each other's eyes, not understanding why they were doing this but neither of them cared right now.

Taehyung noticed Jungkook scanning every part of his face, his stare eventually stopping at his lips. He saw a hand rising in the corner of his eyes and then Jungkook's hand cupped his cheek, not breaking eyecontact.

Both suddenly felt that strong desire for each other, it being clearly visible in their eyes. Simultaneously, they leaned in while closing their eyes until their lips met for a sweet, tender kiss.

It wasn't heated, just a normal one. As they parted, they kept looking into each other's eyes until realisation hit them. Taehyung stopped breathing as he noticed that they kissed each other without anyone being in a trance or something similar.

Then, his body finally gave him answer to all his questions which was simultaneously the one and only thing he feared.

It was his heart, pounding loud and fast.

It took Jungkook a few seconds before he processed what just happened. The two boys were still staring into each other's eyes, faces so close that they could feel the other's breath on their lips, pupils blown. A blush erupted on the younger's cheeks but Taehyung was the same.

"I-I'm so s-sorry!!" Jungkook squeaked, getting up hastily and left through the door in split seconds, leaving a flushed and nervous blonde back.
