Chapter 14

●●●

They spent the rest of the afternoon on the couch in Jungkook's living room, watching some k-drama Netflix had suggested and that had seemed bad enough.

Jungkook found himself oddly comfortable in Taehyung's presence.

Even though he was an alpha, Jungkook felt completely safe as he drifted off every once in a while.

It was interesting that, even without Jimin there, Jungkook felt this safe around Taehyung. Safe enough to sleep next to him.

Another episode finished, but this time Taehyung paused the show before it could automatically start the next one.

"Jungkook?"

Tiredly Jungkook grunted as a sound of acknowledgment because it was the only thing he was capable of right now.

Wrapped up in his blanket burrito, he really would have loved to sleep some more.

"I know we already talked about this over text, but I really think you should confess to Jimin..." Taehyung began and Jungkook pulled his blanket over his head.

Not this again.

He still had no clue why Taehyung kept trying to encourage him to confess. It was weird. Taehyung was talking about his boyfriend.

So unless he was trying to sabotage Jungkook's and Jimin's friendship it really didn't make any sense for him to suggest that.

"I don't want to." Jungkook murmured, pulling his blanket up to his face so only his eyes were peeking out to look at Taehyung.

"There is no point to it either way. Jimin is dating you and I'm happy being Jimin's best friend. It can only get worse from here."

Taehyung let out a sigh. "Trust me when I say it would be worth it. I can't tell you why because that's for Jimin to talk about but really... you should just confess. Get it over with."

Jungkook pressed his lips into a thin line. Taehyung wasn't making sense at all.

"I don't want things to get awkward between me and Jimin." He declared because that was the most important thing. Keeping the comfortable atmosphere whenever Jimin spent time with him.

A confession could ruin that.

"Trust me it won't. Just-" As if on cue the doorbell rang.

Taehyung got up to open the door. Both of them already knew it would be Jimin. While Jimin hadn't had time in the afternoon he had promised to show up in the evening.

"Hey." Jungkook heard that soft, familiar voice and then a very clear kissing sound.

"Hey."

Taehyung's voice was soft and Jungkook buried himself a little deeper in his blanket.

The way they talked to one another... Jungkook was kind of jealous of that. They spoke with so much love.

He wondered whether there was ever going to be a day when someone would speak with him in that tone.

"Jungkookie? How are you?"

Unwillingly Jungkook unburied himself from the blanket to greet Jimin.

When he saw the omega entering he couldn't help but notice Taehyung's expectant look too.

The alpha was actually expecting Jungkook to confess...

Jimin made his way over to him, whispering a soft 'hey' before pressing a kiss to Jungkook's forehead.

His scent washing over Jungkook made it impossible for him to keep his eyes open. So he closed them, simply enjoying Jimin's proximity.

"Hey."

He could feel Jimin's hand thread through his hair as he supported himself on his knee on the edge of the couch and pressed his flat hand against Jungkook's forehead, probably to check his temperature.

"Sorry I wasn't able to come earlier."

Jungkook shook his head, eyes still closed. "Don't worry. Taehyung was really sweet and took good care of me." Maybe he was a little loose lipped because Jimin's presence made him drop all his walls... but he also wanted Taehyung to know that he was grateful.

And Jimin that he had a great boyfriend. Because Taehyung really was.

"Thank you for taking care of Jungkookie." Jungkook could hear that Jimin was facing in a different direction.

The sofa next to him dipped as Taehyung sat down. "No worries."

He laughed. "Jungkook's kitchen is better than mine. Cooking was a lot of fun actually."

Jungkook smiled, still enjoying the feeling of Jimin's hands running through his hair.

"That's my mum's fault. When I moved in here she said anything could be cheap... but the kitchen is important."

He opened his eyes, finding Jimin looking at him with a soft expression.

"How are you feeling?"

Jungkook smiled, just to reassure Jimin. "Don't worry. I'm really feeling better now. As I said, Taehyung took great care of me." He reached his hand out to ruffle Jimin's hair too.

Jimin let him, closing his eyes as well.

"I'm going to the bathroom. I reaaaaally need to so I think it might take a while. Like, I don't know... half an hour." Taehyung's tone was off.

When Jungkook looked at Taehyung, raising a questioning eyebrow, he only got a little thumbs up back.

When Taehyung mouthed "You can do it." Jungkook finally got what he was trying to say.
