ADDICTED

taehyung sat across from jungkook at the dinner table while lightly tapping his finger against the wood.

"so..."

jungkook looked up from sipping his juice box and raised a brow.

"care to explain why you've been staying at my house for a week now?"

taehyung stares intensely at the boy in front of him.

"do I need to have a reason for wanting to be with my best friend?"

"well, I mean no but you have your own place. why are you all of sudden staying here?"

jungkook continues sipping on his juice until there's nothing left to sip and then sighs while putting down the empty carton.

"do you want the truth? or the half truth?"

Taehyung ponders it for a moment before replying.

"both, but the half truth first."

"fine. the half truth is, my roommate currently has a girl over and they've been continuously at it. i walked in on them the last time i went and trust me, i do not want to see that again."

taehyung laughed and nodded, "makes sense. so if that's the half truth then what is the truth?"

a smile crept onto jungkook's face as he propped his elbows on the table and rested his chin on his hands.

"do you really want to know?"

taehyung raised an eyebrow at jungkook's unexpected question.

"obviously i do. if i didn't i wouldn't have asked."

jungkook nodded and proceeded, "alright then...."

taehyung took a sip out of his water bottle, anticipating his answer.

"the truth is, i'm here because i'm waiting for you."

taehyung raises a brow in confusion.

"waiting for me? why?"

"i'm waiting for you to love me back."

for some reason unknown, taehyung's cheeks turn a light pink.

"but I do love you, just as a friend"

"i highly doubt it," jungkook gestures at taehyung's blush, " but as I said before, i'll wait."
