Jungkook was tired. He didn't mind sitting through interviews but he wishes that the interviewers would ask different questions once in a while. The questions are always the same and he's honestly quite tired of listening to Namjoon translate the same words over and over again.

Despite this, Jungkook makes sure to stay bubbly. He throws around some jokes here and there but he also laughs at his hyung’s jokes when they make an effort. When Jungkook wasn't playing around though, he was sneaking glances at Taehyung.

Taehyung notices every time he does, but he doesn't think anything bad about it. He just slightly makes his eyes wider to let his best friend know that he's as bored as he is. Jungkook always returns the gesture but his heart flutters at the action.

Jungkook has gained a crush on his best friend over the last month. He doesn't know why his crush suddenly formed, but he hates himself for it. He just wants his thoughts to go back to normal.

He doesn't want to look at Taehyung and suddenly want to know what his lips taste like.
He doesn't want to think about how he wants to wake up next to him so he can run his fingers through his soft hair.

Jungkook just wants to go back to thinking normal best friend stuff but he can't even remember what the “normal” best friend stuff was.

All Jungkook knows is that they were all performing on stage, messing around like always. Taehyung jumped onto Jungkook's back and buried his face into the crook of his neck. They literally do this all the time so Jungkook doesn't know why everything suddenly changed within him.

Jungkook became terrified when he suddenly felt foreign butterflies in his stomach when Taehyung's lips brushed against his ear while he was laughing. Taehyung’s laugh made his heart beat faster and his hands became sweaty as they clutched onto Tae’s legs.

Jungkook then lost his breath as Taehyung's thighs slid over his hips as he got off of his back.

Jungkook convinced himself that he was ill and that the new feelings would pass but yet he's still here almost a month later feeling the same butterflies fluttering inside of him.

Jungkook turned his attention back to what was happening with the interview. He wasn't paying attention but he knew it was over soon anyway.

The woman interviewing them spoke up, smiling while pointing behind her. They all waited for the translation.

Namjoon looked at everyone and smiled.
“She says there's a polygraph test available here today so we can try it out if we'd like.
It's basically a lie detector test but we only have time to have one member go through it."

The members start bouncing around at the statement. Jungkook can feel Hoseok slap his his back repeatedly as he lets out an excited yell.
He laughs along with them all, patting Hoseok’s hand that now lay on his shoulder.

“We'd love to try out the test!” Namjoon spoke with delight to the interviewer. She smiled back and stood up, gesturing them all to follow her.

Jungkook was beyond excited. He really wanted to bombard Taehyung with silly yes or no questions just so he could hear his laugh.

The walk to the room didn't take long so they couldn't discuss much about who was going to do the test. They did decide though that it couldn't be Namjoon because he would have to translate the questions to the camera which could throw off his results.

Jin also couldn't do it because he would laugh too much which would also throw off his results. Yoongi just didn't want to do it, Period, So it was between Jungkook, Jimin, Taehyung and Hoseok.

Jungkook had Hoseok’s left arm thrown around his neck. He was pretty close with all the members so he never really felt or acknowledged the physical contact from them. The only time Jungkook would actually feel something worth thinking about is when Taehyung touched him.

The room they entered was mostly empty except for a table, the polygraph equipment and some chairs. Hoseok had to pull jungkook closer to him so they could both attempt to squeeze through the door together side by side.

It was quite a stupid idea so it was no surprise when Jungkook tripped over Hoseok’s foot during the action and fell forward pulling Hoseok with him. They both flew into Taehyung’s back which sent Taehyung flying into the table, disrupting his conversation with Jimin.

Taehyung let out a big grunt as his groin flew into the table, shaking the equipment sitting on top. Loud gasps were heard as the computer swayed back and forth, almost falling until Taehyung threw out his hands to steady it.

Taehyung spun around quickly to see Jungkook and Hoseok with wide-eyes and open mouths. Jungkook didn't mean to laugh, but he did.
This caused everyone else to laugh along with him, but now Taehyung was going to force Jungkook to be the one to take the test.
