Jungkook is ignoring Taehyung. Again.

Taehyung has a theory that Jungkook actually does remember his apology from last night and therefore he's ignoring Taehyung.

The younger is about to explode. He knows he shouldn't be feeling anything by this, but it hurts. He hates that it hurts, but he can't run away from his feelings.

Should he speak with Jungkook? Does he even want to? He has always hated Jungkook, so why does it feel so horrible to see him sit in the back of the bus, Jennie on his lap and another girl clinging to his arm.

"What's wrong?" Jin asks from the side. He knows what's wrong, but it looks like Taehyung really needs to come out with something.

"Nothing," Taehyung lies. He huffs and crosses his arms, indicating he doesn't want to talk about it. Jin nudges his shoulder before throwing his arm over it.

"Listen, he's being a dick now because he doesn't understand why he's reacting to you. I think you should give him some time," Jin says. Taehyung sighs and looks up at him with big eyes. He doesn't know if he wants to cry or just scratch his eyes out.

He looks back again, seeing Jungkook make out with Jennie. It's a horrible sight and Taehyung quickly turns back towards the front.

He doesn't look at them for the rest of the trip.

- Time skip -

After a long day of traveling, Jin and Taehyung finally burst through their dorm door before throwing themselves on the bed.

Taehyung sigs after having climbed the stairs and lied down. It has been a fun trip, but also incredibly tiring. At least for him. He lies still for what feels like hours, falling in and out of sleep.

Just as his mind is about to seek for memories about a certain dark-haired male, his phone pings and lights up. With a somewhat grunt he turns and looks at the display.

"Basement, 20 minutes." It says. Taehyung stares at it. That's definitely Jungkook, why on earth is he texting Taehyung after ignoring him all day? With a frown, he sits up and glances down at Jin's bed. The elder is sprawled out like a sea star, already sleeping soundly.

Taehyung bites his lip as he considers what to do. He should ignore Jungkook just like the elder boy had done to him. But still, he can't seem to ignore the explosion of butterflies in his stomach.

He hates himself for getting so excited, but who's he to decide? His heart is running its own way without giving his mind a chance to keep up.

After a minute of thinking the whole thing through, he stands up and sneaks down the stairs, escaping the safe atmosphere of his dorm without waking up Jin.

He slowly skips down the hallways that are all rather quiet. People are probably tired after the trip, so most are taking naps or watching Netflix.

He doesn't know why his heart is fluttering, he should be annoyed with Jungkook. He mentally curses and hits himself in the chest as he walks down the stairs to the basement where the music room is.

Some faint music is playing in the distance, and Taehyung immediately gets curious about what's going on. Or possibly, what Jungkook is doing. He walks further down as the music gets higher. Taehyung knows the song. It's called black swan. It's a beautiful and very special song.

Right when he reaches the window that shows the dance studio, he stops. There Jungkook is, his back towards the window. He's slowly moving his body around to the beat, moving beautifully and elegantly.

Taehyung gapes. Jungkook knows how to dance!? Very well actually. His eyes follow the elder's movements through the whole song, not having the heart to move.

Jungkook has surprisingly much energy and keeps going. Suddenly, after the song changes, he turns his whole body and the two of them immediately get eye contact.

Taehyung's face turns bright red in an instance, but Jungkook just smirks and keeps their eyes locked. He slowly places a hand on his chest, moving it down his stomach. The fabric of his shirt gets pushed against his toned abs, smoothly moving all the way down until Jungkook reaches the belt in his pants.

While biting his lip and still looking at Taehyung, he slides that little further down and cups his groin.

Taehyung's breath literally hitches.

Fine. Only two can play this game.

He walks inside slowly, seeing how Jungkook's smirk gets even more distinct. He slowly steps forward, not far from the other.

"Done staring?" Jungkook asks. He does also take a step closer, barely centimeters between them now. There's just enough space for Taehyung's hands to appear between them.

"Done being an asshole?" he asks, smirking. Jungkook just gives him one in return. He suddenly grabs the younger's hip and pulls him close. Taehyung gasps as their lips meet. Their mouths work together, fighting to get even closer.

Taehyung swears his stomach just exploded with excitement. No matter how mad he gets at Jungkook, the elder can always make him change with just a kiss.

Just as Jungkook's hand slowly slides down to cup the other's ass, they are interrupted by the door opening.

It's hard to explain how Jungkook teleported to the other side of the room, giving Taehyung a push on the way so he almost loses his balance.

"Omg, it's here you are! Idiot, don't leave without telling me!" Jin sighs as he steps inside, "and why am I always walking in on the two of you?"

Both of the said boys relaxed, glad it wasn't someone who didn't know about their little... thing. Taehyung glances over at Jungkook, kind of waiting for some sort of outburst. But it never comes. Jungkook just rolls his eyes and gives them a smirk, walking over to Taehyung.

"Well, you could have turned around when you saw us through the window," he says and throws an arm around Taehyung's shoulders.

Oh my fucking god! What's going on!?

Taehyung mentally screams as his cheeks blaze with pink. Jungkook has never done anything like this before and Taehyung is having a small celebration about it actually happening. Jin doesn't seem to mind the small gestures as he looks down at the brunette.

"Because I need to obtain this little escape champion, Hoseok wants to speak with you," the elder explains. Taehyung frowns.

"Why does he want to speak with me?" he signs. Hoseok is really nice, but it's not often he contacts anyone outside the school hours.

"I don't know. Something about a new kid joining the school."
