When Taehyung goes out to party, he gets completely drunk out of his mind—however, he always end up safely at home. He can never remember who takes care of him by the next morning but he definitely doesn’t expect it to be someone he absolutely loathes; Jungkook. ImageImageImageImage

10.

Taehyung thinks about it the whole hour as he’s sitting inside his classroom with the professor’s words mumbling in the background.

Thinking about how peculiar the situation is, really who would make the effort to take care of him and not make it known who they are?
11.

It’s weird, Taehyung shouldn’t think this is sweet but he does and for some reason, he feels almost safe with whoever it could be.

So when he’s thinking who it could be, he starts out with his friends but soon begins crossing them out.
12.

It can’t be Namjoon, Yoongi or Jimin because they were all still at the party the first time.

It can’t be Jin or Hoseok because those two like to get just as drunk as Taehyung does.
13.

Soon after, other people from the basketball team come to mind.

/Bogum? Wooshik? Seojoon?/

He lists all names of everyone he knows who the culprit could possibly be.
14.

But then he’s crossing them out too because all of them have one thing in common; they have no reason to hide from Taehyung, no cause to pretend like they didn’t do it.

His thoughts are being cut off as he hears someone entering the room.
15.

He sees Jungkook in a black tshirt, a flannel over it, blue loose jeans and black platform boots that are walking towards the professor, handing over some sort of slip.

Shortly after, Jungkook begins walking up towards the older with a brief meet of their eyes.
16.

And then Jungkook’s sitting down to his assigned seat for the year; beside Taehyung.

“You come at me for being late but here you are, arriving 35 minutes later.” Taehyung starts, sneering at him.
17.

He doesn’t look but he can feel Jungkook rolling his eyes at the comment. “I was at an appointment, dumbass. I had an excuse.”

“Appointment for what? Penile Enhancement?”
18.

Jungkook scoffs a laugh before growing a smirk. “I think you mean reduction, baby.”

The older makes a face, grimaces, from the pet name. “Thought I told you not to call me names.”

“You actually said not to call you /babe/. I agree, it’s tacky. What about /baby/ instead?”
19.

“I would pay to take my hearing out if it meant never hearing you say it again.”

Taehyung folds his arms to his chest, ignoring the subtle bump he felt in his chest after he heard the pet name roll out of the other’s tongue.
20.

“You wound me, darling.”

“Shut the fuck up, Jeon.”

“Aish, someone’s feisty today. Tsk, tsk, tsk.” The younger shakes his head as he sounds out disapproval.
21.

Taehyung ends it there, doesn’t say anything back because he knows Jungkook won’t stop either and he’d rather not keep making conversation that’s not going anywhere, especially with Jungkook.

(Even if he did start it.)
22.

He’s beginning to continue his thoughts before Jungkook came in, still utterly curious on who it could potentially be.

His mind soon travels to desperate measures and thinks about the person that isn’t even on his list.
23.

Jeon Jungkook.

The /someone/ who’s right beside him.

Eyes widening slightly, he immediately shuts down the mere thought.

He decides there was absolutely no way it’s him. Jungkook doesn’t care and he shouldn’t, they’re not each other’s to care about. It’s just how it is.
24.

And with that, he also decides that maybe that’s enough thinking for the day. He’ll figure out who that person is somehow, eventually.

He doesn’t notice how he subconsciously starts to bite his lips and bounce his leg from feeling…uncertain.
25.

It’s not long before the professor is summarizing what was discussed for the hour and letting the students off.

Taehyung moves quickly up on his feet, gathering his things and throwing his bag onto his shoulder before turning around to leave.
26.

He was about to dash out if it weren’t for the sudden call of his name.

“Kim!” Jungkook yells, not too loudly for the whole room to hear.

“No.” Taehyung answers before he can think about it. Realizing what he just said, he turns around to face Jungkook.
27.

“What?” Taehyung sees Jungkook eyebrows furrowing, a confused expression appearing.

“Oh—I—what do you want?” He quickly asks.

Jungkook raises an eyebrow while he stands up from his own seat.
28.

“Try to be on time today and stop being a brat, yeah?” Jungkook is then abruptly moving on his feet, his shoulder bumping into Taehyung’s purposely as he slowly strolls past him.

And Taehyung? Oh if only looks could kill.
29.

A scoff leaves Taehyung’s mouth. Twisting his body faintly to the younger’s direction, he raises a fist as though he was about to punch him.

He’s walking out of the room as he ponders over the debate of whether he wants to comply and be at practice on time—
30.

Or if he’s provoked enough by a special someone to get there late again. He’s listing the possible pros and cons but it really doesn’t matter because it all leads back to one thing.

He’s never been one to comply a request from Jungkook.
31.

And that’s exactly how he ends up 7 minutes late to the gym later that day, giving his other teammates a nod once he enters.

They don’t quite mind Taehyung being a bit late because that only means that’s 7 minutes to spare from him and Jungkook bickering their ears off.
31.

Saves them 7 minutes of peace.

The older’s expression instantly changes once his gaze meets Jungkook’s, both players now glaring at one another.
32.

Taehyung didn’t lie when he justifies not coming on time mostly because of the coach doing the same. The old man likes to slack off, arrives after 20 minutes.

But Taehyung also won’t deny it’s fairly entertaining to disobey Jungkook’s demands.
33.

Finding it amusing to see that mad look on his face, doe eyes suddenly becoming a little too sharp for their own good and a tongue poking through his cheek.

He’d somewhat look more attractive; hot, if you prefer to call it.

Not that Taehyung would ever admit that.
34.

“I see you’ve decided to be a brat again for today.” Jungkook sneers as he stops bouncing the ball he was dribbling to hold at his waist.

Taehyung rolls his eyes, however, begins to grow a subtle smirk while he drops his sports bag on the ground.
35.

“Well. Maybe next time if you begged on your knees for me to come, I’d agree and do so.”

A pause of silence falls between them, almost deafening as if several balls weren’t bouncing in the background.

“Me?” Jungkook starts, taking a step forward closer to Taehyung.
36.

“Begging,”

Another step.

“On my knees,”

And another.

“For you.”

Another.

“To…”
37.

Once he lets out the last word, he’s standing in front of the older.

“Come?” Jungkook scoffs, tilting his head slightly to the side. Taehyung’s smirk has fallen off slowly.
38.

The younger doesn’t let him speak yet. “You know, I don’t think it works like that.”

Taehyung begins to look away, turning faintly to the side to get a view of his teammates only for Jungkook to press a finger to his chin so he’s facing the younger again.
39. 🔞

“Hm. Shouldn’t it be you on your knees, practically at the brink of tears while you’re begging for me to let you…come?”
40. 🔞

Taehyung takes a moment to process his words, his lips slightly part as his breath hitches for a split second before he gains his own confidence back. “Oh, you would love that, wouldn’t you? To ruin me while I’m squirming under you? I bet it’s your wet dream every night.”
41.

The older’s eyes travel down to the edge of Jungkook’s mouth where he can see that tongue poke again. “Do me a favor and wake up, yeah? The only holes that are getting something inside them here are the hoops from the basketballs.”
42.

All of a sudden, Taehyung’s pushing the ball resting on Jungkook’s hip out of his hold and dribbling it as he walks away from Jungkook.

Keeping his composure cool and ignoring yet another pound from his chest because there’s no reason for him to pay attention to it.
43. ImageImage
44.

Practice begins shortly after their little encounter. For the first few minutes, the team’s divided by Taehyung and Jungkook choosing their individual members for a couple rounds.

Starts off as a simple game between two groups, each person just as competitive as the other.
45.

They keep it steady without any fouls, wanting a fair game too.

Taehyung’s team ends up winning the first round, however—as their games go on, their wins alternate.
46.

After 4 practice tournaments, they decided to take a break for a couple minutes.

Everyone panting as their sweat drop down their bodies. Some reaching for a cup of water, others searching for the bathroom.
47.

It’s only a matter of time before they’re back on the court, dribbling the ball as they sprint and try to score.

The coach arrives mid game, observing each and every individual’s move.
48.

He stops their movements with a whistle to their ears, making their heads turn to the direction of the loud, pitching sound.

“Hey! Reset the scores back to zero. I want Taehyung on Jungkook’s team.”
49.

Mumbles fill the room as Taehyung raises his eyebrows in question. “What?”

“But Coach, each side is doing good right now. We’re matching each other’s strengths.” A voice in the back, Seojoon, speaks out while others start agreeing.
50.

“Exactly, you guys are stable on each side but it’s not always gonna be like that when we’re against rivals. In fact, it’s never like that because we won’t know their strengths and weaknesses as they learn our own until the game starts. So Yoongi and Taehyung, switch.”
51.

Jungkook tries to hide his disappointment of losing Yoongi as his teammate, he was the best of the best.

Receiving Taehyung was another loss for him and that, he doesn’t try to hide. “Try not to stumble with your clumsy feet if you’re planning to shoot.”
52.

It sounds like an advice if it weren’t meant in a mocking way.

“Can you just let that go? It happened once and it’s suddenly all you see in me. I’m just as good as you Jungkook, maybe even better.”
53.

The younger one huffs at the comment, takes a small step towards Taehyung.

He does it subconsciously, not aware that he tends to do that often. Unaware that they move like magnets. The instant they’re close, they only get closer.

They say keep your enemies closer right?
54.

Jungkook doesn’t get to talk back because a split moment later, their coach is calling them out. “Hey, lovebirds. Let’s focus on the game for now, yeah? Get to your positions and wait for my whistle to start. Now.”
55.

Early on, it continued as a friendly game just like before although the difference this time was that, it was a little trickier for each group even if it was just a pair that were swapped from one another’s side.

That’s how quick something can change sometimes.
56.

A good few minutes goes by and the intensity from the increasing scores on the board to the decreasing time left rises.

Everyone’s panting again, all eyes following the ball.
57.

It gets thrown from Namjoon to Jungkook in a swift movement and in an instant, the younger’s feet are swerving left and right.

However, he ends up getting surrounded by the rival team, his gaze rapidly scans around the area.
58.

A couple of his own teammates were scattered at the front but the ball would be blocked before it would even get to them.

“Jeon!” His eyes move to Taehyung, who yelled his name as an implication that he was open.
59.

He was about to throw the ball to the older up until he sees Wooshik who was behind Taehyung, guarding.

Even if Jungkook had tossed it to him, Taehyung seemingly hadn’t noticed Wooshik standing there and he would’ve been immediately blocked by him.
60.

The younger had no choice but to toss the ball to Namjoon who was further behind him.

His new plan was to hand him the ball back so they could gradually get closer to the ring.
61.

His mistake was that he underestimated how quick the seconds went because before he knows it, the whistle goes off again.

And granted, Jungkook’s team still won but a two point difference was too close for them to afford any risks.

81.

2 hours into the party and Taehyung doesn’t know what to do.

Maybe he really doesn’t know how to act, maybe he’s forgotten to.

He thinks he hasn’t planned enough on what he wanted to do. The idea was there but he hadn’t thought of the execution.
82.

He /can’t/ get drunk. But he has to look like it if he’s determined to find out who the culprit is so he’s been fake drinking.

He scans the place in the living room; loudness ringing everywhere from the music in the background to the screams and cheers from the people.
83.

Letting out a sigh, he sees the table filled with bottles and glasses. He debates over chugging down a cup.

The thing about Taehyung is that he’s a lightweight when it comes to liquor. He rather not drink a beer but tequila instead and yet he still can’t hold his alcohol.
84.

He decides there that one or so shouldn’t do much, so he reaches over and takes a shot or two of whiskey.

Grimacing as the liquid burns down his throat, he groans while placing down the glass that was in his hand.
85.

He recalls Jimin telling him that he’ll be heading to the kitchen with Yoongi for their own choice of liquors. Hoseok mentioned something about wanting to jump in the pool, Jin ending up daring him to do it and Namjoon following behind.

He doesn’t care where Jungkook is.
86.

Perhaps if he did, he’d give a second look to the room and sees the subtly hidden yet still familiar guy glancing to him from time to time.

Almost as if he were keeping an eye on him.
87.

Taehyung realizes he’s gonna have to act all over the place and suddenly he’s glad he took the drink a moment ago to loosen himself up.

Minutes later after he feels the alcohol inside him kicking in, luck’s moving to his side as he hears his party song coming on.
88.

He’s completely aware of how he is when having something in his system whether it’s from the stories he’s being told the next day from his friends or from media such as photos or videos to show as proof.
89.

So the next thing he knows, he’s audibly gasping while getting up on a table to scream out the lyrics.

“Drop top Porsche!” He starts.
90.

The audience he has seems to understand quick as they cheer and sing back up for him. “Porsche!”

“Rollie on my wrist!”

“Wrist!”
91.

“Diamonds up and down my chain!” Taehyung yells out as he gestures to the jewelry on his neck as well as the multiple rings on his fingers.

“Aha!” The crowd cheers more while laughter rises soon with it.
92.

Taehyung tends to steal people’s attentions and keep their focus on him, he knows how to woo them.

So as he’s dancing in the middle of the room, everyone’s gaze naturally stay on him.

Including the eyes that meet Taehyung’s for a split second before the latter looks away.
93.

As the song goes on, the room only grows louder and louder.

Jimin, Yoongi, Hoseok, Jin and Namjoon are back at the living now too, cheering for their friend before getting pulled up from Taehyung on the table with him as they howl out the last verse beside him.
94.

Some are starting to think that the apartment could possibly collapse from how strong the vibrations are surrounding them.

However, most are too drunk to care at this point.
95.

As the song slowly comes to an end, Taehyung makes sure to shout out the remaining lyrics for the last few seconds.

A hand goes around Jimin’s shoulder and the other gladly does the same around his own.
96.

“Yeah we got it goin’ on, got it goin’ on!”

“Don’t it feel so good to be us?!”

“Yeah we got it goin’ on, got it goin’ on!”

“You know it, you know it!”
97.

And when the last seconds drop, Taehyung’s hitting every beat with his body.

Not noticing how close his movements, his feet are stumbling gradually to the edge of the table.
98.

Everyone else including his friends were too into the mood to notice.

So when the song finally comes to an end, his foot is stepping onto nothing but the air right next to the corner of the surface and he’s gasping as he slowly loses balance.
99.

He was ready to fall and hit the ground, face first at that.

What he wasn’t ready for was a hand reaching to his arm and the other to his waist to stop him from falling further, holding him in place.

Scratch that, he wasn’t ready for /who/ was holding him, specifically.
100.

“Hey, I got you.” Taehyung hears the man speak shortly after, staring into those same eyes he met with moments ago.

He’s suddenly frozen in place; quite literally yet also figuratively as both his brain and body feel like they’ve stopped working.
101.

His breath hitches while his eyes widen in fear; confusion, as if he was waiting to wake up from a dream—or a nightmare, perhaps he prefers to call it.

And if that didn’t explain why his mouth was agape, it was the next words coming out of the other’s mouth. —
— “You ready to go home now?”
102.

Taehyung swears he felt his heart dropped.

Why the hell was Jeon Jungkook talking to him in such a soft tone?

Why the hell was Jeon Jungkook holding him with a gentle grasp?

And why the hell was Jeon Jungkook asking him if he was ready to go home?
103.

Taehyung’s being brought down the table in a swift movement by the other, making him let out a strange noise. “You alright?”

With the little bit of alcohol in his system and his ‘great’ acting skills, something in him shifts and he’s suddenly pretending to be drunk.
104.

Although he’ll have to thank not being fully sober because if he was, he wouldn’t be able to put on a show after processing what he had just found out.

He’s humming and stumbling everywhere his feet takes him, “I’m not leaving yet.” He mumbles.
105.

His head is leaned downwards, his eyes slightly closed as they peep down at the floor because he just can’t look at Jungkook right now.

“I think you’ve had enough for tonight, Tae.”

Not only does Jungkook have the audacity to chuckle but to call him by a nickname too?
106.

“No, go away!” Taehyung tries to break out of his hold, successfully doing so because of how gentle the younger’s grasp was.

He’s suddenly floundering his way through the the little crowd, he doesn’t want to think about what everyone has to say on what they’re seeing.
107.

Most people are buzzed at this point so they’re back to partying in their own ways but some eyes linger longer on them before eventually shrugging it off too.

It’s not like this was new to them, it was just new to Taehyung.

But it’s not like he knew that either.
108.

Finally, he’s out of the flat and walks into the hallway before stepping out into the outside, gasping for some fresh air. It’s become a little breezy.

Thank god Momo’s apartment was on the first floor.
109.

Taehyung squats down to take a seat on the little stairway, his head in his hands that are resting on his lap.

A shaky sigh coming out of his as he thinks that the whiskey is still becoming more effective. Everything suddenly feels too much for him.
110.

Initially, he begins wondering if it was just the drink that made him delusional for the moment.

/There’s no way it’s him./

He groans from his head starting to hurt from all the burst of thoughts, reactions and occurrences that are flowing through his mind.
111.

After a short while, he feels some sort of cloth being placed around his shoulders. Body jumping a little, his reflex forces him to look up and he instantly regrets it because a certain someone comes to view, who he really preferred not to see now—or ever, for that matter.
112.

Jungkook has taken off his black leather jacket and is left with a plain black long sleeve top yet still manages to look good.

Taehyung’s gaze swiftly goes back down, he’s never been one to be so embarrassed but he just can’t find it in him to look at Jungkook in the eye.
113.

“You know,” Taehyung hears Jungkook speak out first and it irritates him because the other is still talking in a gentle tone. “I don’t think whiskey’s your thing.” He offers a smile, something Taehyung can’t see.

“What’s it to you?” The older replies in a snappy tone.
114.

Jungkook only chuckles lightly. “Grumpy tonight, aren’t we?” He pauses, “hm. So when you drink whiskey, you get all grumpy. Noted.”

Taehyung doesn’t respond and as a result, they’re met with silence between them; the party fading in the background.
115.

The silence doesn’t last long, however. Soon, Jungkook is breaking it. “Tae?”

The latter doesn’t reply again but he does hear Jungkook slowly stepping closer towards him. “Taehyung?” He tries once more.
116.

Taehyung can /feel/ Jungkook’s presence squatting right in front of him, however, he still doesn’t say anything back.

“Hey, look at me.” While it sounds like a demand, Jungkook’s tone made it out to be more of a request.
117.

Taehyung contemplates for a few seconds before deciding to peek up slowly with ‘drunken’ eyes, their gazes meeting.

He also decides he doesn’t like it. Doesn’t like the shivers he felt, doesn’t like that Jungkook’s sharp look for him is currently softened.
118.

And he most certainly doesn’t like feeling helpless like this, not knowing what to do or what to say with a heart beating louder and faster than he would much rather prefer.

This isn’t them.
119.

“Do you wanna go home now?” The question is repeated as Jungkook tilts his head faintly.

Taehyung can’t help but notice how soft his features actually are with their proximity. A minute passes before he thinks that there’s nothing he can do but nod.
120.

“Here, hop on my back. You love it, don’t you?” Jungkook says as he gets up and turns around, arms ready to catch Taehyung’s legs.

/I do?/

Taehyung doesn’t talk as he hesitates.
121.

He starts to stands up and looks around the area. The street seems to be empty, vehicles only passing by from time to time.

Nobody would see them anyway, he concludes.
122.

He then hesitates more after putting out his hands to wrap around Jungkook’s neck. “You…you won’t let me fall?”

Taehyung believes it’s the alcohol in him that’s making him say these things, why he’s not shouting at the other to fuck off.
123.

“I won’t.” Is Jungkook’s response.

And so Taehyung just does it. He jumps to give himself a little boost as he wraps his arms around the other’s neck, feeling a pair of hands holding onto his under thighs.
124.

They don’t talk on the way, Jungkook assuming the older’s dosing off when really, he couldn’t be more awake. “Whiskey makes you grumpy, quiet to really sleepy.” He says, knowing he won’t get a reply back.

Taehyung’s head is on Jungkook’s shoulder. /He smells nice atleast./
125.

It’s a 15 minute walk to Taehyung’s place, Jungkook doesn’t seem to mind from doing it continuously.

He’s quiet, calm but cautious and he hopes Jungkook can’t feel the pounding in his chest.
126.

Taehyung starts to mumble once they reach his home. “Spare key is—“

“Is under the 4th flower pot, I know.”

And the older thinks he can take that as confirmation, that it is in fact Jungkook who takes him home every time he’s too intoxicated.
127.

/The/ Jeon Jungkook that absolutely despises his guts, the person who would rather set fire to himself than be in a room with the other.
128.

The door begins to open for them to come in and Jungkook doesn’t waste any time in placing Taehyung on his couch.

The younger has been here enough to know where the living room to the kitchen is atleast. He’s never entered the bedroom, specifically.
129.

And until now, has no utter desire for it. He wanted this to be the last time, and it would be; he swears.

“Need anything else?” Taehyung shakes his head to that.

“Okay, then I’ll be leaving. Take care of yourself, Ta— Kim.” He nods firmly before slowly he’s out the door.
130.

What the fuck just happened?

Taehyung thinks his head is about to explode.

That was the first time Jungkook didn’t stay to take care of him and wait until Taehyung would fall asleep, not that he would recall all details.
