*Don't sue me for writing a lengthy chapter, I got carried away.*



Taehyung breaths out a laugh. "You do? You hate me? It's not healthy to lie to yourself babyboy."

Now Jeongguk was sure that the last of his sanity had left Taehyung.

HUH! Do I now have to remind him that we fight every damn moment? Has he seriously turned 'stoopid' or what?!

"Taehyung, stop. I seriously do not have any interest in your fake flirtings."

Jeongguk was tired. He did not want to spend a whole night with the asshat Taehyung.

He was confused. He was sure that he hated Taehyung with every cell but today was different. It was as if his mind was urging him to remember his forgotten crush on him, which he had pushed to a corner of his mind thanks to his fear of being rejected.

He never let anyone know about it, not even Taehyung has any idea about it.

Therefore he channeled his frustrations by hating Taehyung and unnecessarily picking fights with him- a mere excuse to satiate the cravings of his heart. Call him a wimp, but that was his way of interacting with Taehyung without shitting his pants.

"Why do you hate me, Jeongguk?"

Taehyung's deep rumble broke his string of thoughts.

"What do you mean?" Jeongguk furrowed his brows.

"I really do not know why we fight" Taehyung scratched the side of his nape.

"Because you are stupid, asshat" Jeongguk stated as a matter of fact.

Taehyung tittered.

 "To be honest I had never hated you. I liked playing along with your bickering and thought it to be our means of conversing with each other. I do not know why you hate this handsome man. I am sure I can make the girls swoon with my wink."

Saying that he twirled around in his spot once. He then throws back his head dramatically, running his hand through his hair, down his neck and winks at him.

That was too much of a sight to behold for Jeongguk. 

He bursts out laughing.

And when he was giggling like a little child, Taehyung felt his heart skip a beat. There was something in the way that Jeongguk's eyes crinkled at the sides had Taehyung smile like an idiot too.

He did not know what urged him but he leaned forward and cupped his face in his hands.

There was a delicious moment where Jeongguk's face washed blank with confusion like the brain cogs couldn't turn fast enough to take in the information with his wide doe eyes. Taehyung was himself surprised by his actions. He opened and closed his mouth like a fish unable to form words to describe their situation.

Jeongguk's face flushed pink. 

Even his ears couldn't hide the fact that his heart was beating too rapidly to be able to pop out of his chest. He looked away searching for a distraction in the white-washed walls.

He did not know the other man in front of him was in a similar state as him.

It was all new for both of them- From being enemies to suddenly shying away from each other.

Taehyung bit his lip to suppress a smile. He could tell from his blush that they might be sharing the same feeling.

Too cute.
