Since ya'll were asking for an update and I didn't want to leave ya'll hanging, here you go😉❤

Taehyung's phone started ringing.

Jeongguk nervously looked at Taehyung as  he stumbled, searching his pockets for his phone as he mumbled incoherent words under his breath  about who could be calling at this time.

The rest hardly paid attention to Taehyung, as they were waiting for Jeongguk's phone call to be picked up by someone.

Taehyung finally fished out his phone and turned to look at the caller ID. Jeongguk's heart stopped beating when Taehyung glanced at Jeongguk.

"Dude you're calling me"

Silence followed. Jeongguk kept his head held down, not meeting anyone's gaze. But he could feel Taehyung's intense stare caving into him.

"Jeongguk you're calling me" Taehyung repeated.

Jeongguk kept silent. He hit the end call button and looked up at his four friends who were looking at him, waiting for some kind of reaction from him.

Jeongguk took a deep breath and gathered up all the courage he had. And spoke.

"Yeah I'm gay"

Silence followed. All his friends were looking at him, shock portraying their features. Jeongguk bit his lip and met the others' gazes, one by one until they reached Taehyung's. His face portrayed pure shock. Jeongguk gulped nervously. If Taehyung-

Namjoon started laughing. Jeongguk turned his head to look at the older in surprise and shock. Why the fuck us Namjoon laughing?

"You owe me ten bucks,  Hobi" he said, laughing.

"What the fuck? I really thought Jeongguk liked girls. How did you even know?" Hoseok groaned.

What the fuck is happening?

"Dude he's been scared of girls his whole life! How the fuck can he be straight?" Namjoon said.

Jeongguk looked at Jimin,  who was smiling and then at Taehyung who wasn't. His face was still scrunched with shock.

"Did you guys really bet whether I'm gay or not?" Jeongguk asked, bewildered.

"We did, last year" Namjoon said.

"What the fuck-" Jeongguk started, aghast.

He couldn't believe this. He knew Namjoon was smart as fuck but to guess that he's gay? He thought he was putting up a good act. Hell, he should've been awarded an Oscar.

"We support you,  Gguk. In case you were worried" Hoseok said.

"Yeah, man. You're our buddy no matter what" Namjoon joined in.

"I've kinda known for a while" Jimin said smugly,  earning a whoa from Hoseok and Namjoon.

"Am I the only person this didn't even cross the mind of?" Taehyung spoke up after what felt like an eternity. Jeongguk turned his gaze back to Taehyung nervously.

"You're dumb, Tae. We been knew" Jimin said.

Taehyung rolled his eyes.

"You're like that dumb blonde in the group, Taehyung" Hoseok said, chuckling.

"I'm not even blond!" Taehyung complained.

"You should've been lmao"

"Did you just say lmao out loud? The fuck?" Taehyung said.

The rest of them laughed, calling Hoseok weird. Taehyung was still aghast.

"Why didn't you tell me? You're my best friend" Taehyung asked quietly. Jeongguk didn't have the words to answer that question. What could he possibly say? That he didn't trust Taehyung enough to be accepting enough for him? That wasn't the case. But his anxiety got the best of him every time, making him doubt all his decisions and he ended up bottling up all his feelings.

Taehyung took the silence as an answer.

"Wh-what about your crush? Is it...is it me, Gguk?" Taehyung asked.

Jeongguk stared at Taehyung's dark orbs. His jaw was tensed, and it looked sharper from the shadows cast on his face from the dim streetlights. But beautiful nonetheless. He had always found Taehyung ethereal.

"Yeah I've been crushing on you for a while now." Jeongguk answered, despite the nervousness.

That was when everyone's smiles were slapped off their faces. It was as if mo one knew how to respond to that confession. Jeongguk didn't either.

An uncomfortable silence stretched between the five friends and Jeongguk could feel Taehyung's gaze burning holes into his skin. The silence was unbearably loud that Jeongguk could hear the thumping of his own heart.

He was so fucking nervous. Fuck, his whole body was cold from the anxiety building up inside him. It was suffocating and he felt the need to escape this uncomfortable situation.

Fuck fuck fuck he couldn't believe that he'd just confessed to Taehyung. He'd basically been crushing on the guy since the day they met and only now did he find the guts to confess. And now he wished he didn't.

Because as silence continued to stretch painfully, Jeongguk wondered which way the wheels spun inside Taehyung's head.

He must be in such an uncomfortable situation now. He's probably thinking about ways to reject Jeongguk politely.

How dumb could Jeongguk be? He was risking their friendship for a childish crush? He should've called Jimin, for fuck's sake. Jimin and he could've shaped it off later because he knows Jeongguk has a crush on Taehyung. Shit he is dumb.
What was he even thinking?

Taehyung is straight.

Taehyung is straight.

Taehyung is straight.

And then,

Taehyung kissed Jeongguk.
