♥║ two ║♥

Jungkook taps his fingers on his desk, glancing at the piece of paper Jimin handed him earlier. He's been debating it for some time now, whether he should actually message Taehyung or not. Taehyung doesn't even know his name, so would there even be a chance of him answering? It's doubtful.

Which is why Jungkook decides to do it.

Not a picture, of course. He's not that stupid and would much rather keep his identity hidden in case this goes terribly wrong.

He types in Taehyung's (adorable, might he add) username, then lets his thumb hover over the chat. He forces himself to tap it before he can change his mind.

Oh God, what do I say?

Out of panic, he sends a simple: "hi."

Jungkook squeezes his eyes shut with a groan as soon as he does it. He wishes he were good at conversation like Jimin, or even like Taehyung himself. He's just far too awkward for his own good, unfortunately.

He puts his phone on silent and sets it screen-down on his desk, not wanting to see that Taehyung doesn't reply. He doesn't want to send a second chat. That's too weird, isn't it? He'll make it worse. He'll just forget this ever happened.

He goes downstairs for dinner sometime later, sharing the meal with his mom and younger sister like he always does. When he returns to his room, he glances at his phone and bites his lip. He'll check and see if Jimin texted him. Jimin likes to do this thing he calls "daily memes" to all his contacts, which is exactly what it sounds like: a new meme every day.

Why do I feel so anxious?

Jungkook scrunches his nose at his own behavior, then quickly snatches his phone up and clicks it on. His breath catches at the Snapchat notification. 

taelephant: hii... do i know you?

Should he reply? He should, shouldn't he? It would be rude to message him and then not reply. Jungkook pushes the negative scenarios as far away as he can before typing back.

jeoncena: um sort of not really

Yes, the username was Jimin's idea.

Yes, Jungkook is a complete failure when it comes to social interaction.

Taehyung's reply is only a couple minutes later, terrifying the younger immensely.

taelephant: i'll take that as a no then lol

how'd you get my snapchat?

jeoncena: it was written on a piece of paper in my desk

Jungkook's third slap to the forehead tonight.

jeoncena: there's a lot of jeons

and what if that's not my real last name

taelephant: i really don't like you wow

jerk

jeoncena is typing...

jeoncena: 😘|

Jungkook deletes the emoji immediately, his heart pounding. He can't be that bold. Taehyung already thinks he's a pervert.

He sighs and locks his phone, collapsing on his bed. He glances over at the night stand, shocked when he realizes how late it's gotten. He can't believe how rapidly the time had passed while chatting back and forth with the older boy.

He goes to sleep that night wondering if Taehyung will actually try to figure out who he is, and if he's correct, what's Jungkook going to do?
