Stay away.
The Night before the event.
The clock ticked past 3.13 am.
The room was dim but not silent. Both Taehyung's and Jungkooks silence was louder than bombs. And Their tension was palpable in passing every second.
Taehyung had long ditched his shirt, and was half naked on the bed. His eyes burned and his brain felt raw from the readings and reviewing, but he kept going.
Across form him, Jungkook hadn't moved for hours.
He was still in that exact same position he had taken hours ago… Elbows on the desk, one hand propped under his jaw, the other slowly flipping through a thick volume of a book .
That's what unsettled Taehyung the most.
Well it's been 2 weeks already that he moved into dorms. He had seen Jungkook revising and preparing but this, it's felt different.
There were no signs and No leg bouncing.
Taehyung actually felt JK as a machine that the people called him as..
Taehyung tried to focus. He really did. But he kept stealing glances watching the tension coil in Jungkook's stillness.
Kim Taehyung
Jeon.. you good?
His voice came out quieter than he expected.
No reply. He just turned another page. Taehyung pressed his lips together. He swallowed hard and looked down at his own notes.
Fuck , he wasn't going to let taehyung win.
Taehyung's hand curled tighter around his pen..
Kim Taehyung
I'll win anyways. Even if it kills me. Even if Jeon doesn't look at my way once💭
Because even if Jungkook refused to see him now , he'd have no choice when he was sitting beside him all semester.
Taehyung stared at him , one last time and stood up , pulled a shirt over and left the room.
The hallway felt a little warmer than in the room.
Taehyung leaned back against the wall outside their dorm room exhaling slowly. He rubbed his face and whispered.
Kim Taehyung
Why he is like this , dammit!!
The smoke curled lazily into the air , outside the door. His cigarette burned low between his fingers.
Taehyung rarely smokes. And if he does, it simply means he is hesitant or can't just choose what to do. Just like Jeon when he chews gums before exams or bounce his legs when he is stressed or can't focus.
And just now, Taehyung's mind seems off and couldn't help but smoke it all away.
He took a last puff and crushes the butt beneath his heel and opened the door quietly.
Jungkook hadn't moved. Not even an inch. It was starting to piss him off.
Taehyung stared at him and then at the bowl in his hands. He had made noodles. Not because he was hungry. Because he didn't want Jungkook starving.
He walked over and dropped the bowl in front of him. The chopstick gently clicked against the ceramic.
Jungkook frowned, finally lifting his gaze. And sharp onyx eyes met Taehyung's.
Jeon Jungkook
I didn't ask for that.
(He said flatly).
Kim Taehyung
I didn't make it for you to ask.
He replied calmly leaning at the corner of the table while staring at Jungkook.
Jeon Jungkook
I'm not hungry.
Kim Taehyung
I didn't ask if you were.
Jk stared for another second before going back to his book like the bowl wasn't even there.
Taehyung clicked his tongue and stared coldy.
He pulled the chopstick and pluck the noodles. He blew on the steaming noodles once, twice and then leaned down and shoved a mouthful toward Jungkooks lips.
Jungkook instantly turned his head away.
Kim Taehyung
Eat it. (He snapped lowly) .
Kim Taehyung
If I have to feed you myself , I swear to god-
Jeon Jungkook
You're fucking annoying.
Kim Taehyung
You're fucking starving.
Jk looked at him ,jaw clenched and with the icy glare. But taehyung didn't flinch. He blew gently on the noodles again and held them there , just close enough to feel the warmth on his lips.
Taehyung didn't say another word, he grabbed Jungkook by the nape and yanked him up from the chair. The book slid off the desk with the impact.
JK stumbled barely catching himself, but Taehyung didn't let him go. He shoved him back against the wall, with his forearm pressed into Jungkook's muscles chest.
Kim Taehyung
You wanna act like a brat, Jeon?
Kim Taehyung
Then I'll treat you like one.
Jungkook's breath stuttered.
Jeon Jungkook
You're seriously -
Kim Taehyung
Yes . I seriously am.
Kim Taehyung
Shut the fuck up.
Taehyung slammed a palm beside his head. JK blinked startled.
Kim Taehyung
You wanna pass out mid-event tomorrow?
Kim Taehyung
Is that your genius plan? Huh? You're either a genius or a fucking idiot.
Jeon Jungkook
I Can handle-
Kim Taehyung
You can't handle shit when your knees are shaking and your head's spinning. And i swear to god if you collapse out there tomorrow..
Kim Taehyung
I'll beat your fucking ass.
JK scoffed and looked away.
Jeon Jungkook
Let go , kim.
Kim Taehyung
I'm not letting go till you eat, Jeon.
Jeon Jungkook
I'm not eating.
Kim Taehyung
Then I'll fucking make you.
Taes hand slipped to the back of his neck and his long fingers locked into the hair there gripping tight. He tilted Jungkook's head back just enough to meet his eyes.
Kim Taehyung
You don't get to starve yourself around me… You don't get to treat your body like a goddamn machine and expect me to sit there and watch.
Jeon Jungkook
Why do you care?
Taehyung leaned in, so close Jungkook could feel his smoky breath.
Kim Taehyung
Because I do.
Jungkook swallowed thickly.
Kim Taehyung
You're not winning shit like this.
He whispered near his jaw.
Kim Taehyung
So sit. The fuck. Down.
He shoved him back into the chair, hard but not rough and stood with his legs parted sides on the legs of Jungkook.
He then grabbed the bowl again, scooped the noodles and blew them once, locking his eyes with Jungkook and said coldy.
Jungkook pressed his lips tight.
Taehyung shoved him back by suddenly leaning forward, his mouth just against his ear now.
Kim Taehyung
Open your fucking mouth before I do it for you.
And now when he brought it to his lips, the younger didn't fight. He opened his mouth.
Kim Taehyung
That's right.
Kim Taehyung
You can glare all you want .
He whispered bending close again.
Kim Taehyung
But if you don't finish that bowl, I'll pin you to this floor and spoon-feed you every bite with my finger.
Jungkook didn't say a word. He just picked up the chopsticks and kept eating. Quietly and obediently.
Kim Taehyung
After you finish that whole thing , You'll drink water. Then you'll go the fuck to sleep. Or I'll tie you to the goddamn bed myself.
Kim Taehyung
Am I clear .?
Taehyung said very intimidatingly with his almond eyes narrowed like a sharp knife and none could also ignore the aura he emitted.
And Jungkook he was mini shooked. Cause damn, he had knew Kim Taehyung is obviously very intimidating and cold. But to this level, that the man who ignores others, and he just manhandled him…! Like Him.!? Into what he says and wants..!!? This is something Jungkook can't accept.
But protesting also seems irrelevant.
He chewed angrily and for the first time that night, purposefully losing, and he didn't argue .
But there are things he wants to make clear. This night shall not repeat.
Kim Taehyung
Say thank-you, Hyung.
Tae chuckled leaning closer again brushing jungkook's hair off his forehead gently.
Kim Taehyung
You piss me off, Jeon.
Kim Taehyung
You make me wanna snap your stubborn little neck and then kiss it better.
Jungkooks jaw ticked as Taehyung's fingers brushed his cheeks again…
Jeon Jungkook
Don't. Touch. Me. Again.
Taehyung stilled and backed off slowly, unbothered.
Jeon Jungkook
Next time you force anything on me like that… You won't like how I end it.
He placed the empty bowl down on the desk and tossed himself onto the mattress.
He propped an arm behind his head and stared at Taehyung.
Jeon Jungkook
I'm not your responsibility and I sure as hell don't need you to play savior when you don't even know what the fuck you're saving.
He turned his face to the wall.
Jeon Jungkook
Just stay the fuck out of my way.
Kim Taehyung
Stay the fuck out of my way.
Taehyung mimicked with a scoff, arms crossed.
Kim Taehyung
How cute. Like I’d ever fucking follow that
