they met at a college orientation, both majoring in arts. jungkook was a shy kid when the were asked to introduce themselves in one word, taehyung saying "different" and jungkook saying "work". the older didn't understand why at this age jungkook was labeling himself as work but ignored as it wasn't his business, but now that they have an art project together it is.

"you need to let loose" he mindlessly tells the younger who is coloring with his tongue out. he's almost too cute to keep eye contact taehyung thinks. jungkook looks up with big doe eyes and mouth parted, "hm? don't be ridiculous and help" taehyung pouts but goes back to drawing the soles of the shoes.

after minutes of awkward silence jungkook steals glances up at taehyung uneasy, "what is it?" jungkook jumps in his seat.

"let loose? what do you mean?"

"we are, what? 18? 19? and what are you doing? i never see you out and if you are it's working at the the corner store or practicing at the football field. you don't know what having fun and relaxing is"

"my family has always been strict, i don't know how to not work" "that's fine.. i'll show you" taehyung scoots the chairs closer following jungkooks crazed graze. he words the words 'relax' and 'can i?' with a nod jungkook gulps letting taehyung place his hand in his thigh and a small peck to his neck.

"im gonna kiss you now" and they do. it's not the best but taehyung imagines that's because jungkook probably has never had a relationship.

and jungkook tastes like green apple.
