"How can you tell?" Jennie didn't bother denying her mopey behavior. There wasn't much you could hide about yourself from someone you've known for so long.

"You only clean up after me when something's wrong." Taehyung kept his eyes on her, as she put the last video game in the shelf. "Things not going well with Kai?" His tone changing, not fond of the guy.

Kai was Jennie's boyfriend.

Or, her ex-boyfriend. They had been dating for almost a year.

Captain of the football team, captain of the cheerleading team, Jennie had always believed in clichés. However, Taehyung wasn't convinced. He had always felt bad vibes from Kai, ever since he dumped his lunch in the trash back in the seventh grade.

At the time, Jennie hated Kai, but that was years ago and she found it appropriate to let go.

Finally, Jennie flopped backwards on the floor, sprawling her arms and legs out like a starfish. "We broke up!"

Cocking his head to the side, he waited for her to continue. He knew well enough to let her start talking when she was ready.

After a while of laying here, Jennie rolled to her side, propping an elbow up to let her hand on her cheek, supporting her head, facing him. "Do you want to make out with me?"

"Sure." Surprised, his face was laced with a hint of skepticism.

"Don't you want to know why?"

"Nah. Make-out first, ask questions later." He winked at her, then wiggled his eyebrows.

Groaning, she pouted. "It was awful. I went to a party after the game, and I caught him with Krystal all over him. And I mean caught. He rationalized that Krystal was so much better than I was, in front of everyone at the party!"

"You want me to give an ol--" Taehyung clicked his tongue, motioning a right hook at the air.

Jennie smiled, but couldn't keep her feelings down.

"No." She sighed. Rolling back, she relaxed then stared at the ceiling. "I guess I'm not that upset about breaking up. Just humiliated."

She contemplated letting Taehyung beat him up though. Taehyung muscled up recently, becoming a slight gym rat despite his soft and squishy personality. Now that she thought about it, Taehyung was straight-up attractive. Not that he had never been, but she just never noticed before. He hasn't changed much except for his growth spurt and the muscles that bulged from his t-shirts and pants. How his shirts would always sometimes pull nicely against his flat stomach, and how he traded his glasses for contacts--sometimes he still wears his specs, but now there wasn't really anything to draw attention away from his beautiful face.

"So you're not upset?" Taehyung smirked at her.

"Yes. I'm HUMILIATED!" she exclaimed. "At first he accused me of being all over you. He kept saying he wouldn't be surprised if we were sleeping together. When I disregarded us sleeping together, he retorted to saying how unfeminine I am, and that girls shouldn't be talking about politics and sports with their boyfriends. He said, 'no wonder I couldn't even turn you on' and that I was 'probably a lesbian'." Jennie huffed, her chest rising up and down.

"So are you a lesbian?" Taehyung joked, liking how she gets a rise out of things.

"No." She pouted at him. "But if we were sleeping together then other people wouldn't be thinking that!" Continuing her melodrama, she anticipated Monday for her downfall.

"So you want to have sex." Taehyung deadpanned.

"Can you take me a little serious, Taehyung?" She asked him. "I'm pretty sure you imagined your first time to be with me, on your floor, and in my oh so sexy sex attire." She motioned to her sweats and loose t-shirt.

Exchanging a few minutes of silence, he looked at Jennie, a little surprised.

"Taehyung?"

Looking up, he puckered his lips, blowing a fly away hair from his forehead. "Okay... so if we're not going to have sex... Do you want to play Jenga?"

Jennie knit her eyebrows together. "Why'd you look at me like that?"

"It's nothing." He shook his head.

Getting up, she playfully punched at his arms.

"Okay-- it's just. It wouldn't be my first time." Standing up, he brushed past her, looming over her smaller frame as he reached up for puzzle box.

"What!" Jennie whisper shouted.

Rolling his eyes, he brought the box down to waist level. "It isn't a big deal, Jen."

"No. It's not." She paced back and forth in his room. "Everyone's having sex!" she yelled. "Everyone's having sex but me!" She counted with her fingers, "Kai, Krystal, and even you!" When she made the round back to him, she pointed her finger to his chest. "Who are you having sex with?!"

"At the moment?" He bobbed his head to the sides. "No one."

Persistent, Jennie frowned at him. "Taehyung, I tell you everything!"

"Jen. You're a girl. I'm a guy. We don't talk about our sex life the way girls do."

"Oh come on." She dragged her words. "Who? Is this a masculinity thing? Cause you know you don't have to pretend to be macho with me for your ego."

Rolling his eyes for the second time, he sighed. "I just don't think it would be polite. For them anyways. And we go to different schools. I doubt you would know them."

"THEM!" Jennie's eyes widened. "So you're doing it in public bathrooms or what?!"

"Yep." He popped the 'p', "Because I am living a pornstar life." He boringly looked at her. "Look, I date Jen. You know how it goes? You pick the girl up, you watch a movie, annnd..." Taehyung rolled his hands in continuous motion. Seeing the realization hit on Jennie's face, he became serious.

"Jen, it's cool. Don't let that asshole Kai pressure you, or anyone else tell you when you're ready."

Jennie's shoulders slumped. "How did I just find this out?" She looked to the floor. "My best friend is the fuckboy of his Academy."

Shaking her head, she grabbed the box of Jenga from his hands. "I learned a new trick, get ready to be blown away."

Chuckling at her, he sat criss cross apple sauce in front of her.

"Is that where you were when I texted you?"

"Was I having sex? Nah." He chuckled lightly. "I don't think it's very nice to be texting while having sex."

Jennie rolled her eyes, slowly tapping a piece out from the tower. "No dummy, were you on a date?"

Taehying shook his head. "Not a good one."

Jennie nodded, concentrated on flawlessly and seamlessly taking out the wooden block.
