It was now two weeks later. Jungkook's deadline was fast approaching, even though he was nearly finished, the stress was still getting to him.

Taehyung and Jungkook had fallen into a schedule now, with Jungkook being so busy.

Taehyung would have his tutoring sessions with Jungkook, and then straight after, he'd assist with Jungkook's assignment. Then, the two would make food together in Jungkook's tiny apartment and eat.

His two cats had taken a very big liking to Taehyung. And even liked Taehyung better than Jungkook, who shared his home with them for years, spent money on pointless things and even at one point brought them cat costumes.

And yes, the near drunken kiss wasn't forgotten. Jungkook remembered it as if it happened yesterday. He convinced himself that it was the beer running through his veins that made Jungkook so attracted to Taehyung.

But that still didn't explain he'd felt before the festival.

Before the two could kiss, Jimin and Yoongi had called them, forcing them to jump apart. Jimin was full on drunk. He couldn't even stand up straight, so the two boys were lucky that Yoongi was more focused on Jimin that what Taehyung and Jungkook were doing.

The four had come home, and went their separate ways for the night. Since then, Taehyung and Jungkook said nothing about what almost happened between the two.

Of course, Jungkook had presumed that Taehyung had forgotten all about it since he was so drunk the night before, but no, Taehyung remembered it clear as daylight. Taehyung had assumed that Jungkook didn't want anything to do with him, so he didn't say anything.

They were both in a sticky situation.

And the worst part of it all, Jungkook had still yet to tell his best friends. And that, he was going to try and attempt right now.

" So, guys... " He said, catching the attention of Jin and Jimin. They were both studying, Jimin on his textiles written exam and Jin on his DT food presentation.

" Yeah? " " What fham? "

" So you know that day we all had dinner and Jin cried...." He began nervously, the two boys nodded, telling Jungkook to carry on.

" Oh yeah, how are you and Namjoon doing, by the way? " Jungkook said, stalling. Jin smiled deeply, " I think a lot better. "

" Me and Namjoon talk more, we're not dating, I mean, the asshole literally took my virginity and then left me, so that lop-sided head ass who can't get a handshake for shit can't touch this cupcake. " Jin said, motioning to himself.

Jungkook laughed at Jin's description of Namjoon and then turned to Jimin, " what about you and Yoongi? " He asked.

Jimin looked up, " What do you even mean? Bout me and Yoongi, there's nothing. " He kissed his teeth, and rolled his eyes at Jungkook.

Jungkook silently laughed before saying, " What I mean is, we have barely seen you since the festival, and you're always with him. "

Jungkook wiggled his eyebrows at Jin, and Jin burst out laughing, " do I smell love in the air? "

Jimin scoffed, " no that's probably your feet. "

Jin gasped and faked being hurt, "Jimin, where did all that sass come from? "

Jimin sighed, " I'm sorry, it's just that I've been so stressed recently, with all of the exams coming up, and I've barely finished my assignment. "

" I know honey, we all have been. " Jungkook sighed, reading through his revision notes. When it came to exam season, all three boys were always so stressed. Grades were the only thing keeping students like Jungkook in this school. And this school was probably the only thing at giving Jungkook the are minimum of a future.

So whenever it was exam season, the mood between the three boys were always down. They would have the stupidest and pettiest arguments, but in the end they would make up.

Jungkook didn't want to tell Jin and Jimin because he knew that they'd make it into a big deal, but that's his friends, and at this point Jungkook was absolutely used to it. So what was stopping him?

Jungkook shut his book, and sighed heavily with his eyes closed. He opened his eyes and saw Jimin chewing on a pen and Jin peeling a banana.

" Guys...me and Taehyung nearly kissed. " He said quickly.

Jimin spat out his pen, and Jin chocked on the banana he was eating, " what?!?! " They both screamed, and Jungkook blushed in embarrassment slightly when people told them to shut up.

" Shut up guys, you're being so loud. "

" We don't give a FUCK! " Jin emphasized.

" Yeah, we really don't, now tell us. How, what, where, when, why and who? " Jimin said, picking his pen up, while Jin drank some water.

" Okay... " Jungkook said anxiously.

" Who, is obviously me and Taehyung. Why, I don't know. When, it happened on the day we went to that festival slash carnival thing. Where, in front of the basket ball stand. What, is that we nearly kissed. And finally how, is unknown, I don't know how. " Jungkook finished off, shrugging.

" Okay, girl, I know for a definite fact, that this information that you just gave me, told me absolutely nothing. " Jin said, and Jimin nodded, agreeing with him.

" Okay, how? I legit told you everything that you asked me. "

Jimin shook his head, " yeah no, that doesn't tell us shit. We want to know all of the itty gritty shit. Down to the type of shit you had that day, and what foods you had to make you have that type of shit. Capiche? "

Jungkook nodded, " understood. "

" Well, that day, I had a tough but really enjoyable shit. I had a breakfast bar, and some yogurt with tea. And then I took a sh-"

Jin groaned, " Jungkook! Just tell us, goddamn it. "

Jungkook laughed a little, and then shrugged, " I guess, I don't really know how it happened exactly. " Jungkook thought for a while, he didn't feel like sharing Taehyung's personal information with two, without Taehyung's consent so he skipped that bit out, " we were having fun. Fun included having some drinks, and by the end, we just, I don't know, bare in mind we were both drunk, it just happened. "

Jin and Jimin nodded.

" Okay honey boo boo, you do realize we got to go through protocol? "

" Yeah...." Jungkook said solemnly.

Protocol was a series of questions asked by the boys whenever a topic of 'could so and so, like this person?' comes up. Jungkook had only been through this protocol once in his entire life, and needless to say, it was terrifying.

Jungkook braced himself. Jin got out his pink sparkly notepad, and Jimin grabbed some glasses.

" So Jungkook, how did you feel in that moment of lust with Taehyung? " Jimin began to ask.

" I don't know, weird. "

" Jin, write that down. What do you mean by weird? "

" Like it wasn't supposed to happen, it felt wrong at the time. "

Jin hummed, and scribbled down whatever Jungkook was saying. " So would it have happened another time, it would feel....right? " Jin asked, looking up from writing.

"....I don't know. "

" Why do you suspect it happened? " Jin continued to ask.

" Because we were drunk? "

" Jin, write down the fact that Jungkook said that as a question not a statement, which meant that he's unsure of it. " Jin nodded and quickly wrote down what Jimin had said beforehand.

Jungkook rolled his eyes at how stupid his two friends were being.

" Okay Jungkook, now for the big question. Do you like Taehyung? "

" No. "

" Okay, write down that he's lying. "

Jungkook gasped, " I'm not though! It's like saying that every guy Jin has kissed, he's in love with. " Jungkook reasoned.

" To be fair, I liked them enough to kiss them, but not enough to say I like them. " Jin shrugged.

Jimin sighed and sat next to the now pouting Jungkook. Jimin put his arm around Jungkook, and sighed.

" Jungkook, ever since you told us about Hyungwon, we have realised that you don't let yourself be happy like the rest of us... There have been plenty of people who wanted to be with you, and cuff you but you restrained yourself. "

Jungkook didn't say anything to Jimin, he just put his head down. " Jungkook, you can't let what happened in your past affect what you do in future. There's always a reason as to why bad things happen, because, in our destiny, bad things happens to reveal the good things. " Jin said.

Jungkook listened intently, " I guess, it just feels like I don't deserve it. Hyungwon was my first love, and I'll always have that love for him. And I don't deserve to love him. "

Jin signed, and Jimin rubbed his back, " honey, what good is it if you're not happy? What good is it if you don't move on? He would want you to be happy. " Jin continued.

Jungkook sighed, " I have moved on, but I can't help but regret it. I always think, if I could go back and stop myself. He was happy here, and his homophobic parents probably hate him. "

Jimin hugged Jungkook, " years later, you shouldn't be worrying about that. I promise you, Hyungwon's probably happy with his own girl or boy, so don't let what you think is true cloud your judgement on doing the best for yourself. "

Jungkook smiled, " thanks you guys. It really helped with you guys being here. "

" We're always here for you. " "Anytime you need us. "

The trio went on to study in silence until Jin spoke up, " so does that mean you like Taehyung? "

" No! I've only known him for what? Two? Three months? You can't catch feelings that fast. " Jungkook said.

" Yes you can, Jungkook, you can be madly in love with someone you've known for years, and then you meet someone, and boom, you start liking them. Sometimes, you wouldn't even notice it. You'd feel hot with them, even when it's freezing. " Jimin said.

" Your belly will flip back and forth. "

" Your fingers will tingle. "

" Your heart will pace. "

" Your head will spin. "

" And at the end, " Jin started to say, " you'll just say that you're falling ill. "

Jungkook listened to them, these feelings that they were explaining to him seemed very familiar. Very.

" Well, I don't feel like that with him. " Jungkook said, lying straight through his teeth. Nope, he just couldn't like Taehyung.

Taehyung was an arrogant good for nothing rich snob, who only knew the language, money.

" Fair enough, but how do you feel around him then? "

" Like how I feel around everyone, " Jungkook shrugged, " I just want to beat everyone up with a watermelon."

Jimin started laughing, " stop the watermelon abuse 2019. "

" Jimin, your head top reminds me of a melon. " Jin randomly stated.

" You mean watermelon? " Jungkook asked. Jin shook his head, " no, I mean melon. "

" How? " Jimin asked, laughing loudly.

" Do you know when you feel the top of a melon, and like the texture is fucking weird and it feels dry? "

" ....Yeah.. " Jungkook said, already knowing what Jin was about to say.

" Jimin's hair feels exactly like that. Jimin, I found your twin. "

Jimin gasped and tried slapping Jin but Jin just raised his finger, warning Jimin, " you touch me and I will use my shoulders to whoop your tiny ass all the way to Korea. "

Jimin sat down, and then suddenly hit Jin. Jin gasped and grabbed Jimin by his head, and put him in to a headlock. Jungkook laughed when he saw Jin shove Jimin's head into his armpits. Sometimes, Jin really was like the mean older bully of a brother.

" Sniff my armpits idiot. "

People walking past gave them very very weird looks but Jungkook knew the two boys didn't care.

" It actually smells like flowers so, ha." Jimin's muffled voice came out.

Jin kissed his teeth, " tsk, goddamn it, I shouldn't have showered yesterday. " Jin let Jimin go, who looked smug.

Jimin walked away, most likely to get tissue and Jin instantly began to take off his shoes and socks. " What are you doing? " Jungkook asked.

" I'm gonna slap him with my socks. " Jin snickered evilly. Jungkook started laughing instantly.

His friends were so weird.
