Taehyung prepared the supper while Jungkook was playing video games in his room.

He was lost beyond belief. Everything was so overwhelming.

This was his best friend! He cannot drag him into all this chaos he has going on in his mind. And for that. He must be informed.

"Koo! Food is ready. Come on out!"

"Set it down on the table, I'll be out in five. "

Let me torture myself some more with my own thoughts till then.

Taehyung was phrasing and rephrasing what he wants to tell Jungkook when the mentioned boy walked out of his room, stretching, in his grey sweatshirt and lower.

"mmm this smells amazing. I'm starving. Macarons for breakfast? not a good idea!" Jungkook plopped down on the stool beside taehyung and started serving the food in both plates.

"Koo?" came from the softest silk voice which makes jungkook smile involuntarily.

"Yes,  babe?"

"I was telling you about my date before dad came."

"Ah yeah yeah.. All the apology and shit made me forget about getting the details on the date you were so anxious about. So, how'd it go with Laura?"

"Laurance."

"Yeah that. Pretty?"

"Good looking, yeah."

"Do i have to talk to her too?"

"No, I want a second date. Willingly."

Now that caught jungkook's attention. He put his spoon down and faced the other who was already doing the same.

"We've found the one?"

"I don't know about that koo, We had one meeting."

"Yet you want to see her again. Which is a miracle in itself. Tell me what happened!!"

"We kissed."

"She must be really good at that. Huh?  To have you wanting her!" exclaimed taking another bite of his food.

"It was just a peck actually."

"Must be a real talker to woo you then"

"Sure talks a lot."

Jungkook frowned.
"What's with all these dry half ass replies? Give me the tea comeonnnn.. Tell me about her tell me tell me" jungkook whined bouncing one leg up and down.

"Okay. 23. Blonde. 5'9"-ish. Blue eyes,  not sure if those were contacts or what. Casually dressed. Just started working at Yoonie hyung's firm about a few months ago. Lives with sister. Intelligent but talks a lot. Way too much" Taehyung smiled remembering the constant blabbing.

"That's how you define all the girls you run away from later. Tell me what makes it so different for her to stand out to a stuck-up bitch like you"
Jungkook asked then bent down to take a big slurp of his soup after blowing on it.

"Has a dick."

And just like that jungkook was choking.

"Oh my God! Koo!"

Face turned red coughing vigorously and unable to breath he stood up and bent forward in order to obtain airways.Taehyung ran by his side rubbing and patting his back but all in vain.

He got behind his back. Locked his hands around jungkook's thoracic region by holding wrist of his one hand in other. He tightened his hold and then did a mental countdown.

3. 2. 1.

He lifted jungkook with all that he had in himself locking him good in his arms that had jungkook's arms and legs flaying like a dying fish.

Jungkook's face had turned maroon by now.

He repeated the same process again.

Then again.

Third time was the charm.

A little piece of chicken went flying across the kitchen and Jungkook was finally able to breath.

Heimlich maneuver.
Taehyung smirked and patted himself at the back for remembering something from school.

"Do not play such jokes with me while I'm eating. I could've died. Literally." Jungkook spoke taking deep breaths and then gulped down the entire glass of water.

Taehyung waited for him to finish drinking so that he doesn't choke for the second time.

After he was done taehyung gestured him to come to the couch. Which he did. Both seated themselves and faced each other.

"It wasn't a joke Koo. I went on a date with a guy. Laurence is a boy."

Jungkook sat there looking like a wax model of himself. Not moving at all. Probably not even breathing.
Minutes passed and still no reaction came from the boy.

"Koo please say something."

"You're g-gay? "

"No! I mean.. I think! I mean.. probably! I don't know Koo.  I agreed for this because I wanted to know why I don't fall in love with any of the girls. Is there a problem with me or them.  I'm starting to believe it's me."

"Y-you're in l-love with this-this b-boy?"

"What? No! I'm not sure if I even like him that much too. But i know I like him better than Massie. And please stop stuttering "

"Literally anyone can be liked better than her. Are you sure?"

"I know i sound unsure but- but then he kissed me. And I wanted to die from how good and bad it felt. It felt so new.  Like with everyone else it used to be like 'hmm this kiss might give me an erection' but this one it felt like 'something like this can melt my heart'.  Koo please stop looking at me like that."

"You're g-gay." jungkook wanted to question but came out more like a statement.

"Bisexual or pansexual, I think. I don't not like girls."

"Bisexual. You like b-boys. M-men. M-males. P-penis? "

"Really Koo, you're not helping."

"How do you expect me to help?"

"I don't know. Support me. Console me that I'm not out of my mind and I made a good decision agreeing for a second date.  Tell me it'll be okay. And
for Beyonce's sake stop looking at me like that."

Silence

"okay fine! you can say that I'm out of my mind.  But just please say something. Anything. And really, fucking stop looking at me like that!!"

"How can you be g-gay when we've lived together since ever? "

"You're not making sense?"

"I mean you've never forced yourself on me."

"Forced myself?? You think all the gay men are some goddamned molesters?!"

"But we've slept in the same bed, bathed together so many times, cuddled shirtless"

"What is that supposed to mean??" taehyung got up from the couch,  offended. So did jungkook with still a shocked expression.

"We make all these sexual jokes. Holy shit!! you were serious all along??"

"Koo! What part of "I'm just finding out about myself" do you not understand? Whatever you said as a joke was a joke to me as well"

"Did I give you a wrong idea Tae?"

"What the fuck Koo!!  You're acting like a homophobe!! "

"No! No! I'll support whatever you want to do. I don't know why I said that. I just don't want you to think that I'm one of your kind too"

"Excuse fucking you?? Out of all the reactions I expected from you, being a scoundrel and making this about yourself is not what I had in mind at all. And just because I realized I like men doesn't mean I'm gonna jump on every fucking human with a dick and devour them or now you living around me is suddenly unsafe for you. 'My kind' is not a different species!!"

"Ofcourse not Tae, I-"

"Save it."

With that taehyung grabbed his coat and went to the kitchen. He came back and grabbed his phone, keys and wallet and speed-walked out of the apartment slamming the door loudly behind him making Jungkook, still standing with the same expression, flinch.
