chapter 30

taehyung hummed softly as he walked back to his dorm room.

greeting the familiar faces he knew along the way.

it was already late night time when he decided to go home from reading about boring philosopy books on the library.

jungkook’s probably already asleep.

he still wasn't talking to the other. it's petty and he knows he can't avoid him forever— they're living under the same room for petes sake.

but taehyung’s assumption was proven wrong when he noticed under the door that the lights inside the dorm room was still on.

he gulped nervously, hoping that jungkook won't shout at him this time.

he opened the door, expecting the latter staring at him with darken face on the couch but no, instead, he was met with jungkook fixing his leather jacket.

his back still facing taehyung.

taehyung closed the door behind him, which made a noise, making jungkook sharply turn his head towards him.

and before the other could even utter a word, taehyung already had his arms up in air like in a surrending manner.

“don't worry, i didn’t go out with lucas this time. i was at the library, studying.” he simply said before proceeding to his room.

he heard jungkook exhaling a heavy breath, “you didn't call. you didn't text. nothing tae. next time, just.. please atleast send me a text.”

taehyung only nodded in response, mentally cursing himself for not even doing any of the things that jungkook have mentioned.

“i’ll be going out.” jungkook suddenly announced.

taehyung looked back, quietly observing jungkook.

the latter was dressed in a white dress shirt, black pants highlighting his toned thighs— taehyung shook his head at the thought.

“w-where?” he muttered, avoiding any possible eye contacts with jungkook as he looked at his feet.

“club. just wanna clear my head out. i’ll be out with someone—”

“someone? who?” taehyung doesn't even care if he was being nosy right now, his curiosity was winning again.

jungkook only stared at him for a while before letting out another sigh, “bora. she's one of your classmates i guess.”

taehyung paled at that, his stomach churned at the mention of the said name.

his shoulders sagging in disappointment, he clearly doesn't have any chance with jungkook at this point.

or maybe he wasn't just trying hard to express his admiration for the other.

jungkook noticed the shift in taehyung’s posture and how fidgety the younger have become but he acted like he didn't see it.

“i’ll get going now.” he stated, eyes darting at his watch to check the time, “i might arrive late so lock the door, the windows too when i leave.”

taehyung, just do it.

“i-..jungkook wait!” taehyung started, he could feel his heart hammering in his chest.

is he really gonna do it now?

with a full possibility that jungkook might turn him down?

with full of uncertainty?

jungkook looked at him expectantly, his feet tapping against the tiled floor of the dorm as he waited for taehyung to continue.

taehyung’s gaze remained downwards, refusing to meet the elder’s.
