Jungkook gripped the sides of the table to stop himself from giving any sort of reaction but still let out a heavy breath which made the older smirk in the kiss because it clearly gave away how much the younger was trying to hold back but was failing. He tilted his face and deepened the kiss as he grind down again but before the young model could even moan a ring echoed in the kitchen.

Taehyungie, it's me. Bogum. Pick up~
Taehyungie, it's me. Bogum. Pick up~

Jungkook stopped responding to the kiss as his eyes opened wide upon the recognition of the voice. Taehyung felt the absence of slight bit of effort that was present before and hesitated to open his eyes because he knew what he would see when he would open his eyes. The cold gaze of his ex-costar who would look at him like all of that didn't just happen. The mood had been ruined but it wasn't what it seemed despite what it resulted in.

Taehyung slowly backed away from the younger's mouth and lifted his head before opening his eyes only to meet with an expected sight making him sigh.

"Get off of me."

The older brunette obliged despite wanting to ignore the call and continuing what they were doing. He hesitantly backed off before he got off of the table and turned around to pick the call.

"Hyung, hi!"

Jungkook took the opportunity to silently get up and move out of the place before he could be noticed. Taehyung didn't realize that the younger had left swiftly in a few seconds so when he turned around to tell the other to give him just a minute he was faced with an empty kitchen with no one but him in it making him sigh before talking to the older on the phone who was suggesting him to meet a friend of his and start dating.

"Hyung, I uh I already like someone. I'll tell you about him after a little while. I gotta go now. Sorry."

He ended the call and went to look for the young model but he was no where in sight in the entire house. It agitated him beyond words and he stomped the ground in his place.

"Damn it!"

He made a mental note of keeping his phone on vibrate mode around the other before going to the master bedroom to wake the others up. Of course he won't be telling them about what happened but he needed them out of Jungkook's house. He was absolutely sure that the younger would not return until he was ensured that his house had been abandoned.

----

Jungkook returned home after getting a call from his manager telling him that everyone else had left his house and he made sure to lock it before leaving. The brunette waited another hour after receiving that message on call before returning to make sure no one could pull a smart move on him if they were trying to.

When he unlocked the house and entered, the first thing that came to his mind was to play games. That was the best way to vent out his anger especially when it was an aggressive one he had in mind to play. The boy started setting up his console when his phone rang. He waited till he was done with that setup and went to grab his phone from the bed where he threw it after entering his bedroom, to see who it was.

Fag calling

Accept <<<<< O >>>>> Decline

Jungkook scoffed at the name and rolled his eyes but before he could hit the accept icon he recalled why he left the house earlier in the first place and his expression dropped so he threw the phone back on bed and returned his attention to the game he would be starting soon.

"I knew you won't pick up."

The young model jumped slightly at the sudden voice and whipped his neck around only to find his ex-costar removing the curtain from in front of him completely and stepping forward. He seemed to be hidden behind the curtain all that time. Jungkook was going to say he was startled but he didn't feel like talking at all so he didn't show any reaction as he turned back towards the screen that showed various options about what type of match he wanted to play.

Taehyung sighed as he put his phone back in his pocket and walked up closer to the younger to stand next to him.

"Why aren't you talking? Are you mad at me?"

Jungkook ignored him and put his headphones on to show that he wanted to block the other's sound although he wasn't listening to anything in the device yet. Taehyung pressed his lips and thought about doing the usual which was pinning the young brunette on the bed and making him listen because that always seemed to work but he decided against it because now that he thought about it, it seemed like Jungkook, kind of, gave up on trying to use energy to free himself in such situations and waited for whatever the older wanted to do with him to be over so he could get away from him. The mere idea of him forcing himself on the younger made Taehyung want to hit himself. Why didn't he think about it before?

The older brunette shook his head to get rid of those thoughts before speaking.

"Jungkook, do you like me?"

The younger didn't so much as flinch let alone respond as he focused on the screen in front of him. Taehyung looked to his side and repeated his question.

"Do you like me, Jungkook?"

Still nothing. Taehyung sighed before removing the headphones off of the other's head and throwing it on the bed behind him earning a glare but the older spoke up before he could get insulted.

"Stop pretending to play. I know you are just watching the replay of your last game. I'm not dumb."

The younger still didn't respond and even after getting caught looked like the older was sprouting nonsense.

"Answer me."

Jungkook looked passively at the other before ignoring him and going on the options to really start a game this time but the older stopped him by taking away his controller. This agitated the young model.

"Stop bothering me, bitch."

Taehyung sighed. At least he got a few words out.

"No. Not until you talk to me."

Jungkook scowled and went ahead to snatch the controller from the older before speaking coldly.

"I don't care what else you do but if you interrupt me one more time, I'll cut you."

Taehyung wanted to resort to an extreme measure but he knew it was no use unless he could get a decent conversation out of the younger and so far extreme approach didn't get him that so he was going for the softer side this time.

"I just want to talk, Jungkookie."

The young brunette kept his stare fixated on the screen as he almost pressed the start option but the older took away his controller once again before cupping his face gently as if holding a baby kitten.

"Please tell me if you like me or not because I like you so much that it's making me crazy. I don't want to be like this alone. I want you to return my feelings, Kookie."

Jungkook looked as stoic as ever despite the desperation dripping from the other's eyes and words which made Taehyung wonder if there even was any wall put up by the younger at all or was it just how he naturally was? Even his eyes were bland giving away nothing whatsoever. To ruin the moment, Taehyung's phone rang and it was same damn voice that bugged them earlier making him curse at himself for not silenting his phone.

Taehyungie, it's me. Bogum. Pick up~
Taehyungie, it's me. Bogum. Pick up~

The older shut his eyes and sighed knowing he blew it once again and dropped his hands from the younger's face but when he opened his eyes he saw a clear emotion flashing in Jungkook's eyes which he was failing miserably to hide.

Taehyung was about to speak when the other beat him to it proving the assumption about him to be correct.

"Your hyungie needs you. Go bother him and leave me alone."

Taehyung cut the call and smiled at the other sweetly. Jungkook was clearly jealous. It was a very meaningful revelation to Taehyung and he couldn't stop himself from hugging the other.

Thump thump thump thump

Jungkook might have been able to cover his apparent emotions but once their chests touched Taehyung felt like the other's heart was about to rip the ribcage and jump out of him. It was beating like crazy which meant that his words were affecting the younger after all. It wasn't a waste.

"How many times do I have to tell you to keep your fucking hands away form me?"

Jungkook tore away the hug but his secret was out making his facade useless now.

"Then stop being such a precious baby."

The younger gulped but stayed impassive as he only glared at the other's cooing before turning his back towards him.

"Get out."

Taehyung saw him trying to escape in the bathroom and stopped him with a back hug.

"I really like you Jungkook. Only you."

Jungkook wanted to lie again but his breathing was becoming difficult which could blow his cover which he thought was still intact so he stayed quiet. Taehyung chuckled because the struggle was obvious up close since he could practically hear the other's racing heart, short breaths and peaked nervousness.

At this point Taehyung was sure about two things about the young brunette. One, he was really good at hiding his true feelings and wouldn't break no matter what. It would take extremely keen observations or very close physical contact to notice the subtle changes in him to find out if anything affected him or not. Two, he wasn't ready to accept his feelings which the older supposed might be due to the fear of heart break. This had led him to hiding himself under the cover of arrogance which had become so frequent that he was hiding from himself too now.

Taehyung didn't want to call him out on either of those things. Everyone had flaws and weaknesses but that's what made everyone human and beautiful and he would be damned if he made fun of someone's weakness knowing well that they are not able to handle it.

The older male kissed the younger's earlobe gently before repeating in breathy tone making sure every breath gave full impact.

"I said, I really like you."

The younger's neck hair stood up visibly even though he said or did nothing. Taehyung loosened his hands from around his chest and slowly slid them down his arms before reaching down and placing them on his hips.

"Speak up, doll."

Taehyung's husky voice made the young model fist his hands but he stopped himself from letting out a lewd sound from his mouth. Before the older could move his hands to anywhere else Jungkook decided to cut the game right there. He didn't want to play anymore. So he removed the hands from his waist and stepped away from the older.

"Get out of my house. Now."

Taehyung blinked wondering what happened suddenly. He thought it was going well now but seeing Jungkook angry made him confused. Was he wrong? Was all that only his own assumption? Before he could think further he was dragged towards the main door and thrown out with the last words.

"Don't come near me again, you split personality psychopath. I don't care if you're a killer or not, I will beat you to a pulp even if you later come to finish me in my sleep. Now, get lost."

The door was slammed shut in his face and he stood there wondering what went wrong and where? On the inside of the house Jungkook walked back to his room only to hold his heart over his shirt as he sat on the bed.

"That.. bastard. Stupid fucking bastard is trying to play with me but I'm not falling for that shit. Never. He only likes me? Yeah right. Sitting in everyone's lap, throwing himself on his hyungs and giving them pet names? Who do you think you're fooling you son of a bitch?"

Jungkook didn't realize he was trembling right now as he sat there replaying the feeling of every skinship Taehyung and him shared.

"I won't fall for that. For you. Those shitty tricks don't work on me. You're just a manwhore and I'll prove it to your fucking face that I know your reality."
