the small boy had never really been that kid to fantasize over cars and dream of driving super fast ones with pretty girls and adrenaline coursing through his veins. he's never actually driven a car, besides learning for when he went to get his license.
jungkook had a bike and two working legs to walk on, he never really felt the need for more. his lack of knowledge on cars however didn't prevent him from seeing that taehyung drove a really nice one. everything about it screamed expensive, and fancy, and just cool.
how lame are you? jungkook couldn't help but think to himself as he tried to pin point what it was about taehyungs car as he drove up to the smoothie cafe.
maybe it was just him, taehyung who made the car look cool with his laid back attitude and sunglasses perched perfectly on his nose, the way his hair would blow back and reveal more tanned skin looking smooth as ever.
jungkook thought all these things as the cadillac convertible pulled up in front of the cafe, his grip tightening on his tote slung over his shoulder and hitting the side of his thigh with each step towards the car. "hi." he whispered a quiet greeting, opening the passenger side door and sitting down.
"hello jungkook." taehyung said, glancing over to make sure the boy was settled in his seat before pulling out into the street, "where to?"
"it's not far, just around the corner to the right and it's the grey building with the bikes in front." jungkook said, only earning a hum in response and a quick click of the radio to play softly in the background.
taehyung had hoped he lived farther away, giving him more of a chance to talk to the boy about more than fruit and favorite colors. they always had tonight.
"thank you for the ride." jungkook said, noticing the car come to a stop in front of his building.
"no problem, 6 pm right?"
the raventte nodded and closed the door behind him, "yes, see you then."
"see you then."
——
to say the boy was a nervous wreck may have been an understatement. it was nearly 5 pm and jungkooks room was a mess of pastel colored clothing and mismatched socks.
"jungkook are you almost-" hoseok stopped mid sentence once he swung the bedroom door open, "ready."
the younger boy was sitting in the middle of the room amongst his clothes, nothing seemed to be good enough for tonight. "i really need a minute." jungkook said.
"knock yourself out." hoseok said, closing the door again and leaving the boy to stress some more on his own.
jungkook was a little annoyed over how bothered he was with his appearance. it usually didn't matter much to him, but tonight was the first time he'd see taehyung not in the smoothie cafe and not in his uniform. he had to make sure he looked extra cute tonight.
the chime on his phone broke him from his mini panicked state of mind, the boy diving onto his bed to grab the device. taehyung name lit up the screen with a quick message, he'd be here in thirty minutes.
jungkook yelped quietly and ran back to his closet to find some pair of jeans that fit snug and showed off the little curves he may have had but weren't too uncomfortable. "why do i have to think so much." the raventte mumbled to himself, turning around in the mirror attached to the back of his door.
that was as good as it was going to get, so he told himself, grabbing a loose pastel pink sweater that nearly dipped off his shoulder, it nearly looked white from the amount of times he's washed it. jungkook ran into his bathroom and flipped the light up to see what he had to work with in the span of fifteen minutes.
his hair wasn't too bad, all he needed was a comb and then to mess his bangs up a bit so it doesn't look like he tried too hard. this wasn't even a date or anything, but he couldn't stop his palms from sweating and his heart from beating so fast.
jungkook took his mascara and gently applied a small amount to his lashes along with some lip tint, glancing once more at the mirror before going to wait downstairs. not bad, he thought.
taehyung had gotten to the younger boys townhouse a few minutes early, making no move to walk to the door or text him. the sun visor was down and the older boy was checking his hair, flicking his bangs around to make sure they looked okay. with a glance at his watch, taehyung felt like it was now appropriate to knock on the door. he was right on time.
inside, the raventte was perched on one of stools swinging his legs and watching the door. maybe one day he'd stare at something hard enough and get exactly what he wants.
to his surprise, there were three quick raps on the door, echoing through the silent house and startling jungkook. it was finally time to go and jungkook walked slowly to the door so it didn't seem like he was waiting that eagerly.
with a quick mental count to three, jungkook finally opened the door and shoved his phone into the back of his jeans pocket. "hi."
"hey." taehyungs voice was a lot deeper than his. "you look nice kook."
he noticed the little makeup that the smaller boy had put on, a smile tugging at his lips as he wondering how someone could look even more appealing than usual. taehyung tried not to stare too long at the boys pink lips, focusing on guiding jungkook towards the car and opening the door for him instead.
"thank you." jungkooks cheeks matched his lips as he sat down and buckled in. the feeling in his stomach wouldn't go away as he sat in this attractive mans car and headed towards the ice skating rink. he really liked to ice skate, hoseok had always taken him thursday nights, it was their thing. except now, he had brought someone else along and he could tell which thing he was more happy about.
the ride was opposite of what either of them had expected, the two talked about random things the entire twenty minutes and closed their eyes with laughter that was drowned out by the wind blowing past them. it was strange to think they had so much fun together already, and they didn't even make it inside yet.
"have you ever been ice skating?" jungkook asked, the two had gotten out of the car and walked up to the entrance. hoseok and yoongi were already inside and waiting for the others. "i've been a few times." taehyung held the door open for the younger, earning a quiet thanks.
"i'm sure you're the pro here." taehyung said. the line to pay was short, only a few people in front of them.
jungkook opened his mouth to speak but was cut off by the older, who insisted on paying for them both. "i'm sorry, what did you want to say kook?" taehyung asked, his hand was at the small of jungkooks back and the poor boy was trying to process everything.
"um, i d-don't remember." he internally screamed at himself for stammering once again, sighing deeply while the other just chuckled quietly.
taehyung removed his hand and turned back to the man behind the counter, "a size 9 and a...."
"8," jungkook said, "please."
"and an 8." taehyung finished, pulling out his wallet and swiping his card.
there was something about this all that jungkook couldn't get out of his head. it was the way taehyung would open the doors and pay for things and just listen so intently to the dumb things he had to say. he knew this wasn't a date, he knew because he was the one that invited taehyung and there was no way he would ever have the nerves to ask.
but in the secret of his mind, jungkook was realizing that he really wouldn't mind if it was actually a date.
