Living together was supposed to mean everything would be simple. But Taehyung can barely breathe when Jungkook is around. What no one knows is that he has been in love with him for far too long and it's slowly destroying him. Still, he would rather keep his distance than risk losing him completely. So he stays quiet. Pretends. Falls apart in silence. Jungkook only sees a friend who keeps pulling away. He doesn't know he's the reason why.
