Taehyung blinked at the screen, the words "my boyfriend" echoing in his head. He hadn’t expected that. Not at all.
His heart sank as he read the message. He stared at his screen, feeling a sharp pain in his chest. The excitement he’d felt moments ago vanished, replaced by a gnawing ache.

He’d been so caught up in the moment, and now, the reality of Jk’s hidden relationship hit him hard.

The male felt a wave of hurt and confusion, unable to look away from the screen. As he typed a response, he could barely muster the strength to keep his typing steady.

[@Vantae30_u]
Haha, gotcha. No worries. 😅
ur boyfriend’s a lucky guy.

He sent the message, hoping it sounded as casual as he wanted it to. But inside, he felt a knot forming, like he’d just stepped into a place he didn’t belong.

[@Vantae30_u]
Anyway,
what movie are we watching? 😌

He hit send, trying to steer the conversation away, but the words “my boyfriend” lingered in his mind, leaving him with a bittersweet taste he couldn’t shake. The night wasn’t ending the way he’d hoped, and the realization that JK was already taken cut deeper than he wanted to admit.

[@JK_moon_1997]
So, what’s been up with you?
Anything fun going on? 😁

[@Vantae30_u]
Not unless you count binge-watching
cat videos as fun. 😂 You?

[@JK_moon_1997]
Haha, sounds like a blast!
I’ve just been busy, you know,
dodging my boyfriend’s attempts to steal
my snacks. 😅

[@Vantae30_u]
Lol, priorities, ryt?
Snacks over everything! 🥨
But hey, tell him to share or
I’ll come and steal you away. 😏

**[@JK_moon_1997]** 
Oh, bold move, V! 😏 But he might fight
you for the snacks.
Dude’s serious about his chips. 😂

[@Vantae30_u] 
I’ll take my chances.
I’m a master of snack
theft and charm. 😎

[@JK_moon_1997]
Haha, I’m sure you are! 😆
But don’t say I didn’t warn you.
He’s got sharp elbows. 😂

[@Vantae30_u]
Elbows, huh? That’s cute.
I’ll just distract him with
a bag of Doritos.
Then you’re mine. 😏

[@JK_moon_1997]
You’ve got it all figured out,
don’t you? 😂

[@Vantae30_u] 
Always, JK. I’m a man with a plan. 😌

[@JK_moon_1997]
I’ll keep that in mind
next time we plan
our snack heist.

[@Vantae30_u]
Yeah sure! <3

[@Jk_moon_1997]
So, wanna do something a little…
different tonight? 😏

[@Vantae30_u] 
Different, huh?
You’ve got my attention.
What’s on your mind, JK? 😏

[@JK_moon_1997]
How about a little…
sex chat? 😈
You up for it?

[@Vantae30_u] 
Woah, jumping right in, huh? 😳
But, uh… won’t your boyfriend
have a problem with that? 😅

[@JK_moon_1997]
Nah, he’s cool with it.
We’re both pretty comfortable
with stuff like this. 😉

[@Vantae30_u] 
Oh, so you’re both chill like that?
Damn, okay. 😏

[@JK_moon_1997]
Yeah, no worries on that front.
So, what do you say? You down? 😈

[@Vantae30_u] 
I mean… if you’re that confident,
how could I say no? 😏
But you better be ready to
back up that talk. 😌

[@JK_moon_1997]
Oh, I’m always ready, V.
Let’s see if you can keep up. 😏

[@Vantae30_u] 
Challenge accepted. 😈

[@JK_moon_1997]
Alright, let’s start slow…
What are you wearing
right now, V?

[@Vantae30_u] 
Ooh, going straight for it, huh?
Just some sweats and a hoodie.
Comfy vibes, y’know? You?

[@JK_moon_1997]
Sounds cozy, but I bet you'd
look even better out of them. 
As for me...
just a tank top and shorts. Easy access.

[@Vantae30_u]
Damn, JK.
You really aren’t playing around,
are you?

[@JK_moon_1997]
Nope, I’ve got plans for you, V.
Wanna hear them?

[@Vantae30_u]
Oh, I’m all ears.
Lay it on me.

[@JK_moon_1997]
First, I’d slide that hoodie off you,
nice and slow.
Then I’d kiss my way down your neck,
taking my time…

[@Vantae30_u]
Damn, JK...
keep going.

[@JK_moon_1997] 
Then I’d push you back,
get those sweats off,
and run my hands over every
inch of you.
Think you could handle that, V?

[@Vantae30_u] 
You’re really making it hard
to sit still right now, JK.
But what about your boyfriend?

[@JK_moon_1997] 
He’s cool with it, remember?
No worries,
Plus he knows how flirty I'm...

[@Vantae30_u]
Guess that means
I’m all yours, then.

[@JK_moon_1997]
That’s right, V.
Now let’s see just how
much fun we can have.

As JK took the lead, Taehyung’s excitement shot up, but so did his nerves. The thrill was there, but he couldn’t shake the fact that JK had a boyfriend. The flirty messages were hot, but the whole situation felt complicated and tense.

[@Vantae30_u] 
Damn, JK, you’re really
turning up the heat. 😏

Even as he played along, the reality of JK’s relationship kept hanging over him. The playful energy from earlier had shifted, and Taehyung struggled to balance his feelings.

[@Vantae30_u] 
So, anything else
you wanna chat about?

[@JK_moon_1997]
Just wanted to make sure
you’re having fun. 😈

[@Vantae30_u] 
Yeah, it’s been...
interesting. 😅

Despite the fun they had, Taehyung’s thoughts were tangled with the reality of JK’s relationship. He decided to wrap things up, not wanting to push any further.

[@Vantae30_u] 
Alright, gonna call it a night.
Catch you later. 😌

[@JK_moon_1997]
Goodnight, V.
Sleep tight. 😉

As Taehyung turned off his phone and tossed his phone aside, feeling a mix of excitement and a heavy dose of regret. The chat had been wild, but as he lay there, he couldn’t shake the sting of reality. He stared at the ceiling, replaying the conversation in his head.

"Damn, JK’s got me all twisted. It was so hot, but... what about his boyfriend?" Taehyung confused composure remained as like as that.

He let out a sigh, trying to push aside the gnawing discomfort.

"Why does it have to be so complicated? I’m enjoying this, but is it worth the mess?"

Taehyung’s mind raced. The thrill of the conversation was fading, leaving behind a bitter taste. He was caught up in the excitement but felt hurt by the reality of JK’s relationship.

"If only things were simpler. This feels so damn wrong but also so damn good." His eyes hurt and his throat confiscated with guilt.

He closed his eyes, trying to drown out the mix of emotions. The spicy texts were fun, but the reality of JK’s situation hit hard. Taehyung knew this was going to be tough to sort out, and it hurt more than he’d expected.

Jeongguk couldn’t help but grin when he saw V’s text light up his phone:

[@Vantae30_u]
Yoo JK, I'm here.

His heart picked up pace, that familiar rush of excitement washing over him. Talking to V had become the best part of his day, something he looked forward to more than anything.

"This is what I needed," he murmured, a smile tugging at his lips as they started their usual back-and-forth. The teasing, the playful jabs—it was easy, natural. And when the conversation turned flirty, Jeongguk found himself leaning into it, enjoying the thrill.

Then, the kiss came up. Jeongguk typed his response without thinking too much, but as soon as he hit send, a wave of doubt washed over him.

Wait, did I just mess up? He stared at the screen, waiting for V’s reply, his heart thudding in his chest.

V’s response was casual, almost too casual. It caught Jeongguk off guard.

Is he not jealous? Like, does he not care? The thought crept in, uninvited, and suddenly the lightheartedness of their chat felt heavy.

As the conversation continued, that doubt lingered in the back of his mind. "Why’s V acting like it’s nothing? Does he not feel the same way I do?" Jeongguk wondered, a frown replacing his earlier smile.

The fun, the excitement, it all started to fade, replaced by an uneasy feeling he couldn’t shake. "Man, this sucks. I thought... I don’t even know what I thought. Maybe I’m just reading too much into this," he muttered, frustration creeping into his voice.

But the more they talked, the more Jeongguk felt it—this wasn’t just casual for him. He was falling, and hard, but V’s cool, detached responses made him question everything.

"Does he not care as much as I do?" Jeongguk whispered to himself, the doubt settling deep as he tried to keep up the conversation, his heart no longer in it.

Jeongguk didn’t even know how the idea of a sex chat with V popped into his head, but damn, it was there. And it wasn’t something he’d ever thought about with anyone else—definitely not with Shezam. But with V? Just a few texts, and he was already feeling things he hadn’t felt in ages.

He stared at his phone, excitement mixed with nerves. This was different, way different. The usual playful banter had suddenly taken a turn, and everything felt... electric.

"What’s going on here?" he muttered, fingers itching to type something bolder. The spark between them was crazy, even if it was just through texts. It was weird, but in the best way.

[@Jk_moon_1997]
How about a little…
sex chat? 😈
You up for it?

There was a pause, and Jeongguk’s heart sped up. Did he just go too far? But then V replied, and the tension shot up another notch.

[@Vantae30_u]
Woah, jumping right in, huh? 😳
But, uh… won’t your boyfriend
have a problem with that?

Jeongguk’s grin faltered. The reminder was a bucket of cold water, but only for a moment.

[@Jk_moon_1997]
Nah, he’s cool with it.
We’re both pretty comfortable
with stuff like this. 😉

He didn’t know why this felt so intense, but it did. Every message from V sent a jolt through him, something he hadn’t experienced in a while. With Shezam, it was just... physical. But this? This was different.

As soon as V said goodbye, Jeongguk’s heart sank. He didn’t wanna let him go, but what could he do? He typed and retyped a dozen times, trying to find some excuse to keep V around, but he knew it was time to call it a night.

Jeongguk typed back, thumb hovering over the send button like he could somehow drag out the moment.

The second the chat closed, that emptiness hit him like a ton of bricks. The buzz from their conversation just... vanished, leaving this big, gaping hole. He tossed his phone aside, but it didn’t do shit to help.

"Why’s this feel so damn shitty?" he mumbled to the empty room.

The silence was deafening, that heavy feeling in his chest getting worse by the second. All that teasing, the heat, the laughs—it was gone, just like that. And what was left? Nothing but this stupid, hollow ache.

He flopped onto his side, staring at the wall, wishing V was still there, even if just to say one more word. But it was just him, the dark, and this nagging emptiness that wasn’t going anywhere.

Jeongguk was lying in bed, phone in hand, chatting with V for what felt like hours. The sky was still dark, but he didn’t care. V had that effect on him, kept him hooked

He threw his phone aside and sat up, running a hand through his hair. A cigarette was the first thing on his mind. He lit one up and took a deep drag, letting the smoke fill his lungs. It didn’t calm him like it usually did. Instead, he felt restless, his thoughts circling back to V.

He sighed, flicking his cigarette ash into the tray. "Why does it always feel like I need more time with him?" he muttered to himself.

Bam whined at his feet, and Jeongguk bent down to give him a quick pat. "I know, boy. I’m coming."

You’re the only one keeping me sane, buddy," he muttered, scratching Bam behind the ears. The dog wagged his tail,
completely unaware of the mess in Jeongguk’s head.

With a sigh, he went through his morning routine, splashing cold water on his face, brushing his teeth, and making sure Bam got his usual pampering.

At the hospital, Jeongguk tried to focus on his work, flipping through patient files like a robot. But his mind kept drifting back to V, replaying their conversation over and over. Every time he thought about it, his chest tightened, that emptiness creeping in again.

Suddenly, a nurse knocked on the door, pulling them both back to reality. "Doctor Jeon, you’re needed in Room 203."

Jeongguk cleared his throat, "Yeah, coming." he muttered, grabbing his clipboard.

Jeongguk finally realized in the evening that he hadn’t talked to Shezam since yesterday. He stared at his phone, feeling a weird mix of guilt and relief. Things had been off between them lately, but he couldn’t exactly put his finger on why.

He shot Shezam a quick text, trying to keep it light.

Jeongguk :- "Yo, did I lose you or something?"

It took a while before Shezam responded.

Shezam:- "Nah, just giving you some space. Figured you needed it."

Jeongguk frowned. He didn’t really miss the constant texts and calls, but the distance was starting to feel noticeable. Not that he cared all that much, though. If anything, it was almost a relief.

Jeongguk:- "Space, huh? Since when do you give me space?"

shezam:- "Since you stopped reaching out."

Jeongguk leaned back in his chair, staring at the message. It wasn’t like him to leave things hanging with Shezam, but lately, he’d been feeling more distant, even when they were together. He shrugged it off, not really interested in digging deeper into whatever was going on.

Jeongguk:- "Don’t sweat it. I’ve been busy."

Shezam:- "Yeah, I noticed. But you know where to find me when you’re not."

Jeongguk didn’t reply right away. Instead, he tossed his phone aside, not really feeling the need to keep the conversation going. There was a time when a text like that would’ve made him feel something—guilt, maybe even a bit of longing—but now? It barely registered.

He got up, deciding to call it a night. The gap between them was growing, but for the first time, Jeongguk didn’t really mind. If anything, he was starting to prefer it that way.

(a/n:- finally i was waiting for this to come up!!!)
