Third person Pov:
Taehyung woke up with one hell of a hangover. He was sprawled on a couch in Yoongi's lounge with the lights from the window blinding him. He groaned as he got up while rubbing the back of his head. He looked around until he spotted Yoongi on his phone on the couch opposite him.
"Tae, you finally up?" Yoongi smirked as he got up from his lying position and handed him an aspirin along with a bottle of water.
"What time is it? Where is Namjoon?" Taehyung questioned as he downed the painkiller while looking around. It was difficult to even get up so he decided to recline back.
"Namjoon is taking a shower. It's 4 in the noon. I am going to order lunch in. What do you want to eat? Namjoon wants bibimbap and hotteok You?" Taehyung blinked a few times to adjust his eyes to the light.
He absent mindedly tapped his hand on the couch for his phone but didn't see it anywhere. He slowly opened his burning eyes as he scanned the couch. "Your phone is on charging ." Yoongi answered Taehyung's confusion.
"Order whatever you want hyung, my head is killing me." Taehyung said as he leaned back again from exhaustion. Just how much did he drink anyway? The last thing he remembers about last night is going outside to get a breath of fresh of air and then what happened?
He remembered hallucinating. He had one of the best conversations in the world with Jungkook.
I already have you. The words brought a smile to his face and Yoongi raised an eyebrow at him. It was creepy for him to see his best friend acting like this. He had a raging headache and there he was smiling at nothing in particular.
"The fuck is wrong with you? Still drunk?" Yoongi questioned as he dialed the number to order food. As he placed the order for the delivery, Taehyung leaned back, placing his hands on either side of him as he smiled at the ceiling, remembering last night and his imaginary confession. He realized he had told him he had liked him. He himself realized that he actually liked him too. A lot. He also remember how brutally he had hung up on him.
It pissed him off enough to make him want to slam his phone in the wall but then he realized, it was just a hallucination and he hadn't actually done it. If he had, he would have been seriously pissed.
Even if it was a dream, it had really cracked his ego. Nobody hangs up on Taehyung. Ever. Nobody says no to him. If he is going to confess, he is not going to take no for an answer. Even if that means that he will have to kidnap him then.
"Nah, I just had a good dream last night." Taehyung looked at him as he felt the headache slowly subsiding with the pain fading away.
"Speaking of last night, who were you on call with? I remember seeing you from one of the glass windows." Yoongi said as he put down his phone and crossed his arms over his chest while leaning against the wall.
"I went out to get a breath of fresh air." Taehyung then paused after processing what Yoongi had said. "Wait, what do you mean who I was on call with?" Suddenly, he snapped his head towards Yoongi with such force that his headache returned causing his vision to spin.
"You were talking to someone on call. You kept smiling and laughing so I thought you had lost it or something. I thought it would be brother-in-law but there is no way he would talk to you that late at night so who was it?" Yoongi was genuinely curious, he had observed Taehyung for a few seconds while he was on call and it was a hilarious sight to see. One minute he would be laughing and the other he was scowling and cursing out loud.
"Wait, wait. I was actually having a conversation with someone?" Taehyung questioned as he got up and walked towards the wall and leaned down and picked up his phone, detaching the charger as he unlocked it.
"Yeah? Why? You don't remember?" Taehyung was silent for a few seconds. He checked his call logs. His father had called him an hour ago so there was a miss call from him. He then scrolled down and saw it.
He had actually called Jungkook at 2:03 a.m. and the call went on for fifteen minutes.
Silence fell heavily on Taehyung. There was only one thought crossing Taehyung's mind. Sure, he didn't ask him to be his boyfriend or anything but, had Jeon Jungkook actually hung up on his confession? Kim Taehyung's confession?
Jungkook was mortified. He experienced something phenomenal and horrifying last night. After the confession, Jungkook went into panic mode and when he noticed that Taehyung was waiting for a reply, he hung up and turned off his phone. He paced in his room for two hours after that, dreading that maybe he would show up at the door any second like he promised but he never came and eventually he gave in to the exhaustion and slept.
He was not expecting this. He didn't know what to say or do.
What was he supposed to say to him when he was telling him he had started to like him?
Did he mean it or was it the alcohol talking? Did that even matter? It's not like you were going to accept it in the first place, Jungkook thought.
Unless you want your family to kill you of course. But it was his first ever time receiving a confession and that too from someone like him, a literal walking time bomb so he really was in a turmoil. It was already four p.m. so maybe he doesn't remember doing it. Maybe, he was too drunk to remember.
That would be good because Jungkook really doesn't know what else to say to him if he does remember it. I hope he remembers that I can't be his boyfriend.
What the hell does he want me to do? I can't return his confession. I don't hate him but I don't like him either. But my feelings don't matter because I can't do something that risky no matter what.
He needs to realize my family situation. Maybe, he was drunk so he didn't remember how backward and slightly homophobic my family was and what would happen if they get a whiff of this.
Jungkook kept pacing his room while overthinking.
He had turned on his phone in the morning and to his surprise he had received absolutely no threats or anything so that was a good thing. Maybe, he really was over reacting to this. He knew it wasn't a dream because he deleted his call in the morning from the call log.
When he finally felt at ease with the reality that he wasn't screwed, his phone vibrated on his vanity. He picked up the phone and suddenly all his ease decided to take a dive from a cliff.
Hope: I am calling you. You better pick up. Find an excuse. And almost immediately Jungkook's phone started to ring along with the warning bells in Jungkook's head
He was so not ready for this. Maybe he just wants to check up on him. Yeah, that is probably it. What are the odds? I mean come on, Jungkook, you can't have such bad luck. With that positive mentality, Jungkook swiped the phone and placed the phone by his ear.
"Hello?" Jungkook said barely above a whisper.
"Did you reject me last night?" And Jungkook's positivity decided to take a leap along with his ease. When Jungkook remained silent, Taehyung lost what little chill he had.
"Did you hang up on me last night?"
"Uh, yes?" Jungkook said unsure as his voice got even lower.
Why? Do you like someone else? If you do, tell me so I can go kill him." Taehyung's voice rose with every word as he gripped the table.
"No, I don't like anyone else." Jungkook replied in a soft voice.
"What is the issue then?" Taehyung said as he paced the room while Yoongi watched him with genuine surprise. He looked like he was going to break things pretty soon. Namjoon had also joined them in the lounge and looked to Yoongi for answers.
"You know why I can't accept your confession. My family. Try to understand. This is wrong, Taehyung. I mean I respect your feelings but we can't happen." Jungkook tried to explain but Taehyung wasn't having it.
If your family has an issue with me then let's get married. You won't have an issue then right?" Yoongi and Namjoon looked at Taehyung in absolute shock while he continued to pace the room with a deathly look on his face.
