Enemies On the Battlefield, Lovers In the Dark
Between Fire and Ice
Jungkook look at tae hand
Tae’s gunshot wound starts bleeding again because he keeps moving too much
Jungkook forces him to let him take care of it, and this time, even though Tae is stubborn as hell and keeps resisting
They’re reluctantly close, the atmosphere tense, the cold biting, and the only warmth is from their proximity.
Tae winces as he moves his shoulder
Taehyung Kim
*gritting his teeth, eyes burning with defiance*
Stop. I don’t need your help, bastard.
Jungkook without looking up as he's focused on the wound
Jungkook Jeon
* voice calm but firm*
You’re bleeding out, Tae. If you don’t let me help, I’m leaving you to die. You really want that?
Jungkook’s hands are gentle—too gentle for an enemy
author
Hmm? 🤔 too gentle ? For a enemy? we have to think ?
Taehyung Kim
*growling* You don’t get to talk to me like that. You’re the reason I’m in this mess in the first place
Tae tries to move away, but his body gives out
jungkook catch tae easily as he's moving but still holding authority
Jungkook Jeon
*jungkook fingers brush too close to Tae’s skin as he tightens the bandage* Yeah, I know. But you’re not going to die on my watch, not when we’re stuck here together.
Jungkook Jeon
You’re not going anywhere unless I fix this
Jungkook leans closer, his hands working on the bandage, but he can’t help but notice how close they are. It’s a strange feeling. Something unexpected
Tae is growling, and it's though the pain which is visible in his eyes
Taehyung Kim
You don’t get to play hero now, Jungkook. You’re the last person I’d trust
Jungkook laugh lightly, though his gaze softens as he tends to the wound
Jungkook Jeon
Trust? Yeah, that’s rich coming from you. But we’re stuck here. So, shut up and let me help you.
Taehyung Kim
*tae heart hammering in his chest, but he hides it behind a sneer*
I’d rather die than owe you anything
Jungkook Jeon
*glancing up at him, a brief flicker of something unreadable in his eyes*
Funny. You don’t get to choose that, Tae.
Jungkook fingers linger a second too long against Tae’s skin, the touch barely noticeable, but it sends a shiver down both of their spines
Tae's eyes narrowing, but there's a flicker of something softer hidden beneath his anger
Taehyung Kim
Just get it over with, okay? *said and look away*
The snowstorm gets even worse
The cold is brutal, the fire isn’t enough. They’re exhausted, drained.
Something softens between them as the night stretches on.
Somehow, they end up talking— not as enemies, not as soldiers, just as two people forced into a war.
Jungkook sitting beside the fire, his voice softer than usual as the crackling embers dance in the dark
Jungkook Jeon
*Jungkook staring into the fire, his voice quieter than usual*
You know, I didn’t ask for this either. This war, the way everything turned out. None of its easy
Taehyung Kim
*tae narrowing his eyes, still skeptical*
Don’t make this about you. It’s not. It’s about surviving
Jungkook Jeon
I didn’t ask for this war. Didn’t ask for you to be my enemy... didn’t want to see you like this
Tae not looking at him, his mind racing, trying to ignore the warmth spreading from the fire and from Jungkook’s words
Taehyung Kim
Why are you even talking to me like this? You think you’re going to sway me?
Jungkook's voice is dropping and now he's looking at tae with an almost desperate edge
Jungkook Jeon
I’m not trying to sway you. I just... I just want you to understand that I don’t see you like that anymore. This whole thing—it’s not black and white, Tae
Tae eyes flickering and unsure if he should just shut him down or hear him out
Taehyung Kim
Stop. Don’t do this. It doesn’t matter. We’re still enemies
Jungkook is gently and his voice almost whispering now and there's a slight vulnerability in his tone
Jungkook Jeon
It matters to me. And I don’t want to fight anymore... I don’t want to fight you
Tae feeling the shift but masking it with a scoff
Taehyung Kim
Then we’re already screwed
Jungkook laughing softly even though the laugh doesn’t reach his eyes
Jungkook Jeon
*shaking his head, soft chuckle*
Maybe, but that doesn’t mean we can’t talk. You’re not just a soldier to me, you know.
Taehyung Kim
*A sharp intake of breath*
What the hell are you sprouting?
Jungkook Jeon
*Jungkook glancing at tae and his voice barely a whisper*
I’m saying… I’m not just your enemy, Tae.
Taehyung Kim
*tae eyes narrowing and somehow his chest tightening*
Don’t pull this shit on me. You think you’re just gonna—
Jungkook Jeon
*jungkook cutting him off and voice barely audible*
I know I’m your enemy, and I know what I did. But… Its not what you think tae !
A moment of silence stretches between them. Jungkook's gaze never leaves Tae, but he turns back to the fire, his fingers absently running through the ash. Tae can feel the weight of Jungkook’s words, and for a second, something deep inside him stirs
Jungkook gets a little too comfortable, and his teasing gets dangerous.
Jungkook Jeon
*Jungkook voice become soft and a smirk playing on his lips as he brushes a lock of Tae’s hair out of his face*
You always look so damn angry. It’s cute, you know?
Taehyung Kim
*jerking his head away from Jungkook and glaring at him*
Stop fucking around, Jungkook. What do you want from me?
Jungkook Jeon
*Jungkook fingers lingering on Tae’s face for a second longer than needed and his eyes softening before catching himself*
I want you to stop acting like you don’t feel anything. You can’t keep pushing me away like this forever.
Taehyung Kim
*tae heart starts pounding, but his anger keeps him in control*
Feel? What are you talking about? I don’t feel anything for you.
Jungkook Jeon
*grinning but there’s a flicker of uncertainty in his eyes*
Yeah, sure you don’t.
*pauses his voice is quieter now and almost vulnerable* But you can’t fool me, Tae.
Tae stares at him, something shifting in his chest. But he's quickly trying to mask it.
Jungkook leaning in just a bit closer as he grabs a new piece of cloth to help patch up Tae, his fingers brushing over Tae’s wrist unexpectedly
Jungkook Jeon
You really think I’m some kind of enemy, huh? After everything we’ve been through?
Taehyung Kim
*tae breath catching and feeling the heat of Jungkook’s presence too close for comfort*
I don’t know what the hell you’re talking about
Jungkook Jeon
* Jungkook teasingly though it’s softer now, like he’s testing the waters*
Come on, Tae. You’re not that oblivious.
Jungkook fingers graze the back of Tae’s hand, an almost unintentional touch, but it lingers for a heartbeat too long.
Taehyung Kim
*tae's eyes only flashing with irritation, and he pulled his hand back quickly*
Don’t touch me. We’re not friends. And don’t act like you can just—
Jungkook Jeon
*Jungkook smirk at him, but there’s a hint of tension in his eyes*
You’re cute when you act tough. But you can’t deny we’ve got something between us.
Taehyung Kim
*tae's pulse racing and frustrated by how much Jungkook is getting under his skin*
I said don’t touch me, Jungkook.
Jungkook laughs quietly, but his expression shifts into something more intimate than he intended, his gaze lingering on Tae a moment too long.
Time passes and everything weather gets worse
The snowstorm gets even worse, and the temperature drops and the fire goes out, leaving them both cold and vulnerable. Jungkook notices how shaky Tae’s hands are and takes the initiative to get closer—a bit too close.
Jungkook Jeon
*jungkook moves closer, his voice teasing*
What’s wrong, Tae? Too cold to keep that tough guy act up? Need someone to warm you up?
Taehyung Kim
*tae clearly trying to avoid getting any closer*
Don’t touch me. I’m not some damsel in distress.
Jungkook Jeon
*Jungkook's not backing off and his breath close to Tae’s ear now*
I don’t see a damsel here. Just a stubborn idiot who’s freezing to death. You’re going to make me carry you out of here?
Taehyung Kim
*tae gritting his teeth and his voice sharp as ever*
I can handle myself just fine, thanks.
Jungkook leaning in a little more and now his lips brushing against Tae’s ear as he speaks in a low, almost intimate tone
Jungkook Jeon
You sure about that? You’re shaking like a leaf. Or are you just cold... or maybe something else?
Tae tenses, his pulse quickening. He refuses to look at Jungkook, but his body betrays him. He’s close. Too close. And Jungkook knows it. Tae doesn’t pull away.
Jungkook Jeon
* jungkook moving closer and a reluctant smirk tugging at his lips as he notices how vulnerable they both are*
You know, well, we both need warmth. So suck it up and deal with it.
The cold is biting, and they have no choice but to get closer to stay warm. Neither of them makes a move, but their bodies inch closer for survival.
Taehyung Kim
*tae glaring at jungkook , but there’s no fight left in his voice now, only a deep, reluctant exhaustion*
This doesn’t mean anything. You know that, right?
End up with jungkook hugging tae
Jungkook Jeon
*jungkook's breath brushing over Tae’s neck as he speaks, voice low*
I don’t need you to tell me that, Tae. But if it helps you sleep at night, sure, it doesn’t mean anything
Jungkook Jeon
it feels like i came back to my home *in sleepy voice and hug tae*
Taehyung Kim
*mumble under the breath* bastard didn't even change a little bit
Taehyung Kim
A small smile form on his lips as jungkook nuzzle his head in tae's chest
Taehyung Kim
Telling me it helps me to sleep and now he's sleeping like a pig *sigh*
Their bodies stay close, sharing warmth, but the silence is heavy with something unsaid.
