Third person's pov
Even from an outside perspective it was very clear that the boys were unsure. In school they always pretended their relationship together wasn't anything more than friends. This mostly because Taehyung was being distant since Jungkook not in 2 full weeks had been starting a conversation about what they are. He didn't want to come off as rude so therefore, Taehyung decided to take distance from him so that Jungkook could figure out if they were a couple or not. What he didn't know though was that Jungkook this whole time thought it was pretty clear that they were dating, but that Taehyung was scared of showing off in public. That's when he himself started to get unsure cause Taehyung never actually seemed to wanna hang out. He always had an excuse.
"I need to study"
"I need to help Seokjin in the café"
"I need to help Jimin find his shoes"
"I grounded myself for 3 days"
"I need to walk my Xbox"
"I'm having a movie marathon.. alone.. today"
Never did he seem to have time for Jungkook, and this made him very sad. He didn't want to come off as rude though so Jungkook decided to be a little bit distant so that Taehyung could figure out what they are. And boy if they knew what the other one was thinking this whole time.
They were currently in the cafeteria with the rest of the boys who were talking about how Jimin was finally hitting it on with the guy from the café.
"He is literally the sweetest person I've ever met! He always listens to me when I have something in my mind, and always cuddles with me while watching movies! He's the best!!", Jimin said dreamingly while staring off in the distance. Jimin had really fallen hard for this guy, though they only had known each other for a little bit more than a month (A/N: at this point I can't keep track on the time lol), and officially had been dating for about 2 weeks.
"Pfft are you serious? From what Seokjin has told me, Yoongi doesn't seem like the one who would do such things", Namjoon said laughing in a teasing manner.
"Wait I didn't know you've been dating? When did that happen?", Jungkook said being confused for a while.
"Well that's because you've been so focused on your own relationship bro", Jimin said with his usual smirk playing on his lips. Taehyung looked up at this and was quick to answer,
"Well I certainly have noticed since you and I haven't been hanging out lately Jimin", a silence grew around the table. Hoseok and Namjoon looked around slowly and then at each other, not really understanding what was up.
"Is that what you think about Taehyung? It's not like you have had time hanging out with me either. So, why would you even have time to hang out with Jimin if you've been so busy lately?", Jungkook answer passive aggressive while rolling his eyes.
"Ehh... it's not what it looks like Jungkook. I just miss spending time with him"
Jungkook's pov
Well fuck that.. I thought for myself. I know that the two of them are great friends and stuff but by now, hasn't it been very clear that him and I are very close too?? Maybe I'm wrong. Maybe he still sees me as that one dude in his friend group that actually doesn't matter at all. Like, we freaking kissed!!! We've shared our emotions and have had many sentimental moments together but still, I'm not worthy enough.. great.
"I thought we had a moment last time you were at my place.. does that even mean anything to you?"
"I never said that Jungkook! Why are you so mad all of a sudden? Chill out will you.."
"Okay then, I'm sorry. I guess this only was a big misunderstanding.. I guess I was wrong about the two of us", I said without noticing that everyone near our table was staring at me. Taehyung looked down at the table again and crossed his arms. That hurt me even more since it was very clear that he simply didn't care about either me or my emotions. For the first time ever, Taehyung wasn't the one who was about to cry.. I was. I felt my breathing getting noticeably worse and how my body started shaking. The hot liquid started boiling up inside of my eyes before it fell down on my cheeks. I hate this... I hate this so much!
"Jungkook you okay?", Namjoon asked after a while. "Yeah do you wanna go talk about it somewhere else?", Jimin continued.
I looked up at them slowly before looking down again.
"Th-there's n-nothing here to.. to talk about", I pulled out my chair and left the table, in silence...
Third person's pov
"Well that's fucked up", Hoseok said confused before digging into his food again.
"Taehyung why are you so rude all of a sudden?", Jimin said in disbelief. "He genuinely only wanted an answer for his question. He's probably really sad right now.."
Taehyung looked up for the first time in a while now. You could see the regret that was playing in his eyes. Taehyung hated this so bad. That he always seemed to take the wrong decisions all the time. But he knew all of this was his fault, as always.. it wasn't like he didn't like Jungkook because that was truly false, he only did what he thought was the best at the moment, and it ended up being the worst thing he could ever have done. If I only was braver, he thought for himself. If I only was more confident in myself, then I would've seen that the thing between me and him wasn't a game for him. Jungkook after all was the one who seemed confident in the beginning so why did I have to ruin it...
"Taehyung please don't overthink this, I can so visibly see that you do. Let's forget about this for awhile okay? You can apologize to Jungkook when the time comes, cause right now, I think he needs a minute for himself", Jimin said while gently brushing Taehyung's cheek. Namjoon who sat next to the said boy patted him on his back and continued,
"We all and Seokjin and Yoongi were planning on go clubbing later today. Since it after all is Friday I think you should let go for today and party a little. How about that?"
Taehyung looked at the taller one and made an unsure face.
"If it helps, Jungkook probably won't be there after what happened today..?", Hoseok added carefully, since the topic still was pretty fresh.
Taehyung thought for himself for a while. He had never been to a club before, mostly because he was afraid that his friends would leave him in the crowd, but also since he in general didn't like small spaces with a lot of people in them. He looked at Jimin who was sitting in front of him and took him by his hand. He breathed out slowly and pressed the other ones hand slightly.
"Do you promise that you won't leave me? And that you always stay by my side..?"
Jimin sighed a little bit. He really wanted to hang out with Yoongi today but he knew that this probably wouldn't work out if Taehyung followed, so hid his emotions for now.
"Sure Taehyung", he smiled at him which made the other one smile back.
"Then it's settled!", the tallest one in the group exclaimed in a smile.
Yeah.. then it's settled, Taehyung thought behind his smile.
