Taehyung’s POV
After first period, we moved on to English. I settled into my chair, quietly observing that Jimin had a Chemistry class during this time.
Our teacher arrived and launched into a discussion about pronouns—a rather dry academic exercise.
(Time Skip)
Lunchtime arrived. Walking towards the canteen, I realized I couldn't find Jimin. I continued searching for him.
“TAEHYUNG!” I heard someone call my name. I turned to see Jimin waving enthusiastically. I waved back, smiling, and walked towards him, tray in hand.
“Hey Chim, how was class?” I asked.
“It was okay, but I’m so annoyed with that guy, Yoongi. Hayst, I hate him.” He answered irritably, but his annoyance was endearing. I chuckled softly.
“Why are you annoyed? Spill the tea, Chim.” I teased.
“Ugh, he keeps teasing me, calling me ‘cute.’” He replied, his cheeks flushing pink.
“Ooh, someone has a crush?” I teased him further.
“Yaahh, shut up!” He stuttered, flustered.
“Why are you stuttering, huh?” I said, gently poking his blushing cheek.
“Okay, okay, just shut up and keep it secret, okay?”
“Okay, I promise.”
“Thank you, Chim. I love you.”
“I love you too, Taetae.”

As the two continued chatting, the bell rang signaling the end of lunch. Students hurried off to their next periods. Taehyung and Jimin ran to catch up and said their goodbyes.
“Goodbye, Taetae, see you later,” Jimin said.
“Goodbye to you too, Chim,” Tae replied with a smile.
They separated, heading to their respective classrooms.

School had finished. Taehyung waited for Jimin so they could walk to their dorm together.
“Aisshhh, Jiminie is so slow…” Tae began, but his thought was cut short when Jimin called his name.
“Hi, Taetae, let’s go?”
“Yeah, yeah, you’re late.”
They walked together until they reached the dorm door, and bid each other goodbye.
_____
Taehyung entered the dorm, surprised to find it empty. He remembered Jungkook was often out at clubs, pursuing casual encounters. He shrugged it off and started preparing dinner, happily cooking while listening to BLACKPINK’s “Really.”
He was dancing and singing along when he felt arms wrap around his waist. The scent of alcohol filled his nostrils. He looked down and saw Jungkook, visibly drunk and smelling strongly of it.
“Aisshh, Kookie, you smell disgusting. Where have you been?” Taehyung said worriedly, knowing Jungkook had been at a club.
“Taehyungiee~” Jungkook whined, continuing to cling to Taehyung.
“Let me go, Kookie. Go shower before you cling to me,” Taehyung scolded him gently, but Jungkook didn’t budge.
“Don’t leave me, Taehyungiee, pleasee.” Jungkook pleaded.
“Okay, okay, let me give you a proper shower,” Taehyung conceded and led Jungkook towards the bathroom.
“Strip, Kookie,” Taehyung commanded, but Jungkook hesitated again, making Taehyung annoyed.
“Okay, if you don’t strip, I’ll never allow you to kiss or hug me.” Taehyung threatened him.
“Okay, okay, sorry, baby, just don’t do that.” Jungkook whined and began to undress.
Meanwhile, Taehyung found his thoughts drifting. Jungkook had called him “baby.” He quickly shook off the thought.
“I’m done, Taehyung baby.” Jungkook said.
Taehyung was shocked. Jungkook wasn’t wearing a shirt or shorts, only a pair of boxers. He blushed and stared longer, his heart racing.
“Like what you see, babe? It’s just a shirt and shorts I’d stripped. Do you want to see my big JungCock?” Jungkook teased, and Taehyung’s face flushed crimson.
“Yah, shut up!” Taehyung said shyly, hitting Jungkook’s chest. Jungkook chuckled at his cuteness.
“You said you’d give me a perfect shower, right? Or you’ll give me a blowjob?” Jungkook teased again.
“Yah, of course, shower, Kookie, you pervert!” Taehyung replied shyly, blushing.
“Okay then, start.” Jungkook demanded.
“Yeah, yeah, come here.” Taehyung said, and Jungkook walked over and sat in the bathtub.
Taehyung began washing his hair with honey-flavored shampoo and his body with strawberry-flavored body wash.

After giving Jungkook a “perfect” shower, Taehyung began drying his hair with a hairdryer. Then he picked out a pajama set and dressed Jungkook in it.
“Okay, done. Good night, Kookie, I’m going to my room now,” Taehyung said, standing up. But before he could move, Jungkook grabbed his wrist;
“Stay with me tonight, Baby, pleaseee.” Jungkook pleaded. Taehyung relented and sat on the bed beside him. Jungkook pulled him into an embrace, making Taehyung blush. Luckily, the lights were off, so Jungkook couldn’t see his reddened cheeks.
“Good night, baby.” Jungkook said.
“Good night to you too, Kookie.” Taehyung replied.
“I love you, baby Tae.” Jungkook said, shocking Taehyung.
“I - I love you too, Kookie.” Taehyung stuttered, knowing Jungkook was drunk and likely didn’t realize what he was saying. He knew Jungkook was straight, too.
Taehyung sighed sadly. He wished Jungkook meant the words he spoke. ___
