"i think i'm gonna go to his place today."

taehyung missed jungkook.

he missed him a lot.

he had been agonizing over texting him again or calling, but now he figured he should just visit him in person and make sure everything was okay.

"tae, remember what i said? give the boy some space."

"i know, but we need to know the plan for court tomorrow, anyways, right? don't you think it's weird they didn't text back? i should at least go check on him and ask what's going on."

yoongi sighed.

"yeah, i guess it's a little weird. hoseok's home with joon, though, so i'm sure he's fine. but you should go check on jungkook."

"okay. i'm gonna go now," tae said, hopping off the couch.

"okay. i probably won't be here when you get back."

"...where are you going?"

"nowhere important."

"yoongi, tell me."

"i..."

"spit it out."

"i just... i think i'm gonna go see my mom."

"wait what? your mom? you haven't seen her in like two years."

"i know. that's why i'm gonna go see her."

"i thought you guys weren't really... on the best terms."

"well... we're not. i think she's just confused with how to deal with me, you know? i never really came out to her officially. i'm sure that's confusing. like... i'm sure she probably has an idea about it... but i never actually told her. it's probably hard for her to come to terms with it if i never told her myself. we just don't communicate well with each other and i think we need to."

"didn't you tell me that she's homophobic? isn't that why i never met her when we were dating?"

"well... i think she is. but... she's still my mom. i love her. maybe if i told her how i really feel about hoseok- how much he means to me... maybe she'd understand or... at least accept it."

"it's worth a shot, i guess. i mean... how bad could it go? she's you're mom for god sakes."

"yeah. i probably won't be back until later, though, since it's a two hour drive to her house."

"okay, i'll see you later, then. good luck," tae said, running out the door to go find jungkook.

-

taehyung was outside of jungkook's door, waiting nervously. he rang the doorbell and waited for a few seconds.

a smile immediately broke out on his face when he saw jungkook open the door.

"kookie," he said, smiling.

jungkook looked happy at first, then it was immediately replaced with distress.

"h-hi. what's up?" jungkook asked, staring at him through the half opened door, not inviting him in.

"well... i just wanted to make sure you were okay. and... also ask about tomorrow. you and hoseok never responded to our texts."

jungkook just sighed, trying not to feel bad for blowing the boy off. he needed to remember why he was upset in the first place.
