"You're right," Jungkook shook his head, a smile pigment on his lips, his eyes were gleaming with a sort of nostalgic look, and he paused for a while.

Taehyung felt his heart lurch when the other took a short but immense glance at him.

"Who would've thought, I'd be here, sitting next to the boy I've had a crush on since middle school." The boy whispered, almost inaudible but the other caught onto it and color rushed to his cheeks like a damn forest fire.

Jungkook laughed nervously, his eyes now completely glued to the road, even though the car had come to a halt at the traffic lights, he couldn't bring himself to turn around.

Fuck he was sure his cheeks were about the color of the red colored light, that shaded over them. Fuckity fuck.

Taehyung wanted to giggle at the mortified expression on Jungkook's face, heck he was not expecting such a confession, he thought the boy was straight since in even middle school girls were fawning over him, twirling their hair and batting eyelashes.

Jungkook hated him back then too, using every chance to trip him up or kick his shin during football. Taehyung furrowed his eyebrows.

"I thought you hated me?" The boy questions, his whole body turned to face Jungkook, who still, had his eyes glued to the road ahead.

"I covered up a lot of things using hate, I figured if I couldn't show I loved you I'd show hate to you instead."

Jungkook shook his head, his grip tightening on the steering wheel.

"Stupid, I know, I was so foolish, I hated doing what I did hence why I took every chance I had to check on you or 'accidentally' drop a plaster by you."

Taehyung chuckled a bit at that, it truly was so strange, a time of confliction between the both of them.

"Were you scared of what you felt?"

The brunette moves his hand to rest on Jungkook's lap, the bold movement caused the other to shiver, the warmth that instantly spread to his thigh was unexplainable.

Taehyung made him feel this way, he made him go mad.

"Yes I was terrified, it didn't show a lot, I masked everything with anger, anger was the only thing that helped me cope."

Jungkook smiled his eyes glazed, his dark orbs were truly magnificent the other hummed subconsciously, how beautiful of a man was he.

"My anger diminished, when I saw you play the ukulele, your fingers strumming the chords to songs I never knew of,"

Taehyung didn't know whether to laugh or cry at this point, he just stared at the other attentively, his heart skipping beats.

"You coped through with that instrument, and I sat idling by, coping as I watched you play, your eyes would be closed, you'd look as if you were in pure bliss, you were my coping mechanism."

Jungkook whispered the last part, he finally turned his head to look at Taehyung, both caught each other's gaze, it could be deemed as one of the most intense moments.

"I love watching you smile, enjoy things, laugh. Fuck it's magic, but all I ever did was make you cry, you should hate me, I want you to."

Taehyung opened his mouth to protest, but Jungkook shook his head his hand resting over the other boy's hand.

"I would expect you to, correction, the truth is I want your love every single fucking bit of it, and every chance I get I'll take it."

The black haired male leaned his head back on his car seat, the light was still flushed red, cars were honking, things were chaotic. But Jungkook could only think of the words that spilled out his mouth, and Kim fucking Taehyung.

"Every apology I have to make, I'll make it, any promise I've broken I'll mend it, just please don't leave me, or fear what we could be,"

Jungkook gripped the boy's hand securely, his breathing ragged, as he spat out.

"I'm done with being scared."

The red traffic light still gleamed with its color, Jungkook took a deep breath, deciding to take this chance.

He holds Taehyung's head with both hands, smashing his lips against the other's in a long-awaited kiss.

Soft and sweet it was as the male slowly pulled away cupping the brunette's cheeks he stared into the boy's doe eyes.

"Stay with me, for a long time, I want to make you smile."

Taehyung breathed outwards, slowly, his hands held Jungkook's hands that were cupping his reddened cheeks, his eyes flickered to the other's swollen lips, they were pink and pleading to be kissed.

Taehyung pressed a chaste kiss to them, his eyes smiling, his whole being emitted warmth and security, safe, the boy felt safe and dare he think loved?

"I promise I will."

Jungkook kissed his cheek, his nose, his forehead, his lips once more as the boy giggled slapping his shoulder, he was so fucking happy.

"It's a green light you reckless shit!"

Jungkook smirked, stepping his foot on the pedal, the car purred moving forward, he never looked away from the other. His hands moved the steering wheel, his eyes fixed on the boy next to him.

Taehyung truly was fucking stunning caramel toned skin a pinkish hue to his cheeks, eyes mocha.

"Stop looking at me, look at the road!" Taehyung almost screeched, his hands shakily reach over to the steering wheel, his seatbelt slid up to his neck as he gripped it swerving the car to the side of the road.

The boy heaves a sigh of relief his hands slide off the steering wheel, he glares at the male sat in the driver seat, grinning like a madman as if he fucking won the lottery.

"Jungkook!"

"What?" The boy responds innocently, blinking.

"We might've died out there!"

Jungkook laughed, it was so boyish and contagious that Taehyung himself couldn't help but smirk a little.

"But we didn't, did we?" Jungkook tilts his head, he unbuckles his seatbelt, leaning over to place his lips against Taehyung's.

"See, we're still alive."

Taehyung looks at the other breathing out an exasperated grunt.

He pouts as he stares at his hands that slightly trembled.

"Don't believe me? I could just kiss you again-"

"Remind me, why do I even like you?" Taehyung mutters, his eyes shut, genuinely contemplating.

"Just because." Jungkook shrugs his tone dripping with utmost amusement.

Taehyung fought back a smile, he bites his lip looking away from the other male.

"Drive me home, this time keep your eyes on the road."

Jungkook salutes, chuckling.

"Yes, sir."
