Jeongguk's heart was pounding a bit too hard for just a text game. But he was in it now, so might as well keep going. His thumbs hovered over the keyboard, thinking of what to ask first. He wanted to play it safe but also wanted to dig a little deeper, get to know this "V" better.

[@Jk_moon_1997]
Alright, truth time.
What's one thing u've never
told anyone?

[@Vantae30_u]

Hmm...
I've always wanted to drop
everything and disappear
somewhere, start fresh !!!

Taehyung sent it and immediately regretted it, feeling like he'd just exposed a little too much. But what the hell, it was anonymous, right? JK didn't know who he really was. He could play this game without worrying too much.

[@Jk_moon_1997]
Damn, deep :0

Guess my turn...
same question?"

Taehyung smirked, feeling a bit of the tension ease off. Maybe this game was a good idea after all. He was curious about JK's answer. Was this guy as complicated as he was, or was he just playing around?

[@Vantae30_u]
Hit me with it ;)

[@Jk_moon_1997]
Sometimes I feel like I'm living a double life,
pretending to be someone..
I'm not just to keep people happy :/

[@Vantae30_u]
Damn, JK :#

Didn't expect that.
Feels like we're
cracking the surface here XD

[@Jk_moon_1997]
You started it ;)

But let's switch it up :X

What's the weirdest place u've ever...u know?

[@Vantae30_u]
Oh, you wanna go there, huh? ¿

Alright, a rooftop party.
Couldn't resist the view :)

[@Jk_moon_1997]
A rooftop? Bold :]
Mine's a gym locker room...
don't ask :0

[@Vantae30_u]
That's wild :^
Never pegged u
for a risk-taker like that :/

[@Jk_moon_1997]
Guess there's more to me
than you thought ;)

ur turn. Dare or another truth? :>

[@Vantae30_u]
^Feeling daring :(

hit me Xo

[@Jk_moon_1997]
Text the last person u hooked up with
and ask if they'd do it again :&

When JK dared Taehyung to text his ex, Taehyung's eyes widened in shock.

"Wait, what? Text my ex? No way!" he whispered, stunned.

He'd barely mentioned his ex, and the idea of reopening old wounds was more than just awkward-it was downright upsetting.

"Seriously, that's just not happening," Taehyung added, trying to mask his frustration. He wasn't about to let this chat dredge up his painful past, especially not when he was just trying to have a good time.

[@Vantae30_u]
Uh, nah, man.
That dude was a total pain :(

Not going there (ToT)

[@Jk_moon_1997]
What, too scared?
Thought u were up for anything, V

:b

[@Vantae30_u]
Scared? Pfft :#
More like I don't need that
drama back in my life :>

Some things are better left in the trash :×

[@Jk_moon_1997]
Fair point.
Didn't mean to bring up bad vibes :(

Taehyung smirks, relieved.

[@Vantae30_u]
Yeah, not worth the hassle.
Just keeping it real ;)

[@Jk_moon_1997]
Got it.
No more ex talk.
Your turn to dare me :)

Taehyung chuckles, feeling a bit more at ease.

[@Vantae30_u]
Alright, let's keep it light.
I dare you to-

Taehyung saying to himself, he mutters, "Glad I dodged that bullet. Didn't want to get into old crap."

[@Jk_moon_1997]
What was that? :/

[@Vantae30_u]
Nothing¡¡

just thinking out loud :>
Let's get back to the game.

Alright, Jk, I dare you to...

A

s Taehyung was just about to hit send when Jeongguk's phone buzzed again. He glanced at the screen and saw a message from Shezam. His breath caught-this was something different. The message was pure heat, no pictures, just words that painted vivid images in his mind.

Shezam:-"Been thinking about last night... can't wait to feel you again, the way you make me lose control. You up for round two soon? 🫦"

Jeongguk's eyes widened. He could almost feel Shezam's touch, the words stirring something deep inside him. But then he remembered where he was-chatting with V. The thrill from Shezam was undeniable, but there was something about this back-and-forth with V that kept him hooked too. He couldn't just ignore either of them.

[@Jk_moon_1997]
Uh, hang on a sec, V
Something just came up :(

Taehyung's heart sank a little when Jk paused. His finger hovered over the send button, uncertainty gnawing at him.

Was Jk losing interest already? Was this a game he'd regret starting?

[@Vantae30_u]
Everything cool over there?

Jeongguk hesitated. He didn't want to lie, but he also didn't want to get into what just happened. He quickly shook it off, trying to refocus on the game, but the thrill of Shezam's message kept his mind buzzing.

[@Jk_moon_1997]
Yeah, just... something spicy ;)
Anyway, back to the game :)

What was that dare u had for me? :^

Taehyung exhaled slowly, feeling a mix of relief and curiosity. What kind of "spicy" was Jk talking about? He pushed the thought aside, though, determined to keep things rolling.

[@Vantae30_u]
I was gonna say..
I dare you to tell
me something
you've never told anyone before.
:3

V's challenge, it felt like it was more than just a game.*

[@Jk_moon_1997]
u're rly going there, huh?
Alrt... but u gotta go first.
Fair's fair ;)

Taehyung bit his lip, wondering just how much to reveal.*

[@Vantae30_u]
Alrt, alrt...
I guess something I've never told anyone is..
sometimes I wonder what life would be,
like if I wasn't so caught up in everything.
Like, just dropping everything
and doing something crazy,
something that's not me at all. :> <3

[@Jk_moon_1997]
I get that. Sometimes I think abt
what it would be like to just...
let go. Do something wild
without caring what happens next...

It's kinda crazy how we never talk
about this stuff with anyone, huh? :)

There was a pause.

[@Vantae30_u]
Yeah, kinda makes you think.
So... your turn :)

What's your deep, dark secret, Jk?

*smirks*

Jeongguk hesitated. Should he keep it light, or should he let V in just a little more? But before he could decide, his phone buzzed again with another message from Shezam. He glanced at it, but this time, he didn't feel the same rush. Instead, his thoughts were tangled up with V, the unexpected bond forming between them.

[@Jk_moon_1997]
Uk what? I'll tell u next time ;D

Let's keep it a mystery for now :3

[@Vantae30_u]
Deal *handshakes*
But I'm holding u to that, Jk ;]

[@Jk_moon_1997]
Alrt, V, let's kick it up a notch!
How about we both ask each other
something a little... spicier? U down?
;]

[@Vantae30_u]
Spicy, huh?
u sure u're ready for that?
I'm game if u r ;)

[@Jk_moon_1997]
okayyy then—ever had a moment ..
Where u wanted something so bad,
u didn't care about the consequences?
Like, even if it messed everything up?

[@Vantae30_u]
Yeah... more than I'd like to admit.
But sometimes u gotta keep those
thoughts in check, right?

The tattooed guy felt a pang in his chest. V's answer hit close to home. He was about to push it further when his phone buzzed, the screen lighting up with a message from Shezam. A wave of guilt washed over him as he saw his boyfriend's name. He paused, staring at the message. He had to make a choice.

[@Vantae30_u]
How about you?

[@Jk_moon_1997]
Let's keep it a mystery for now, V.
Some things are better left unsaid
don't you think? :X

[@Vantae30_u]
Sure, if that's how u wanna play it.
But uk, mysteries have a way
of coming out eventually ;)

Jeongguk stared at V's message, feeling the weight of what was left unsaid.

[@Jk_moon_1997]
Gotta go, V.
Talk later?

[@Vantae30_u]
Yeah... sure. Take care, Jk.

As the chat ended, both Taehyung and Jeongguk were left with a sense of unfinished business, a connection that was growing stronger even as they tried to keep it at bay. And even though they didn't know it, the spark between them was only getting brighter, threatening to ignite into something neither of them was prepared for.

Taehyung stared at the screen, his fingers still hovering over the keyboard. The chat ending so abruptly left him feeling a bit off, like something was missing.

"What the hell, Jk? Just gonna dip like that?"

He tossed his phone on the bed, running a hand through his damp hair. The whole vibe had shifted too fast, leaving him confused and kinda annoyed. He wanted more, expected more.

"Guess I wasn't that interesting after all..."

He sighed, flopping back on his pillow, staring up at the ceiling. The conversation had started to get real, and just when he thought they were getting somewhere, Jk pulled back.

"Whatever, man. We'll see who leaves who hanging next time."

But even as he said it, Taehyung couldn't shake the nagging feeling that he'd been left wanting more, something deeper. And that bothered him more than he cared to admit.

Jeongguk leaned back in his chair, eyes narrowing as he stared at Shezam's texts. They were hot, alright-exactly what you'd expect from someone like Shezam. His fingers moved quickly over the screen, firing back just as much heat, but something was off.

Jeongguk:-"Yeah, baby, you know what I wanna do to u🫣🔞"

Shezam:- "Tell me every filthy detail, babe. I want it all😘💋"

Jeongguk smirked, his thumbs flying over the keyboard as he described exactly what he'd do if Shezam were there. But even as the words flowed, something felt off. It was all surface level, just words with no real connection behind them.

"Why does this feel... empty?" The question lingered in his mind.

He tried to push the thought away, diving deeper into the chat. Shezam ramped it up, sending another text that left little to the imagination.

Shezam:-"You're making me so hot right now. Can't wait to feel you, taste you... every inch of you🫦🥵💦"

Jeongguk:- "You're driving me crazy, babe. Can't wait to get my hands on you 💥💦"

Shezam kept the heat coming, sending more messages that were practically begging for Jeongguk's attention.

Shezam:-"I want u to make me beg for it, baby. I'm all urs, just say the word🤞🏼"

Normally, Jeongguk would be all in, but something held him back. He kept up the conversation, sending a picture that was bound to get Shezam worked up. And it did. The reply was instant and intense, but Jeongguk couldn't shake the feeling that something was missing.

"What the hell is wrong with me? I should be into this."

Jeongguk sat there, phone in hand, staring at the texts from Shezam. He knew he should be feeling something, anything, but his mind was elsewhere-stuck on V, stuck on that weird spark he couldn't quite explain. His phone pinged again, another steamy message from Shezam. But instead of replying, he hesitated.

Shezam:- "What's up, babe? You're going quiet on me."

Jeongguk blinked, snapping back to reality. He quickly typed out a reply, trying to keep things hot, but it felt forced.

Jeongguk:- "Nah, I'm here. Just imagining all the things I'm gonna do to you😏❤️‍🔥"

Shezam was quick to reply, clearly eager.

Shezam:- "Oh yeah? Tell me more, babe😝💓"

Jeongguk smirked, fingers flying over the keyboard as he started to type something spicy, trying to get into it. He sent a few details, teasing the hell out of Shezam, keeping the heat up like he always did.

Jeongguk:- "You won't be able to walk when I'm done with you🥵👅"

But as the conversation continued, Jeongguk couldn't shake the feeling that something was off. Usually, this kind of exchange would have him completely hooked, but tonight... something was missing. That spark he felt with V wasn't there. The excitement, the rush-it just wasn't hitting the same.

Shezam kept the conversation going, sending back all the right replies, but Jeongguk found himself zoning out, his thoughts drifting back to V and their chat earlier.

What was it about V that had him so damn distracted?

Jeongguk smashed his forehead lightly.
"Focus, man. Shezam's right here, giving you everything. What's your problem?"

He tried to snap back into it, sending a few more messages, but it felt forced, like he was just going through the motions. Even as Shezam sent something particularly steamy, Jeongguk's response was half-hearted.

Jeongguk:- "Yeah, I'm gonna ruin you😈"

But as soon as he sent it, he knew it lacked the usual fire. He sighed, leaning back, staring at the screen.

What the hell was going on with him? He should be all in, but his mind kept wandering back to V, to the way they clicked so effortlessly.

Jeongguk:- "Yeah, babe, can't wait to see u.🤩"

But even as he sent it, he knew he was done. He sighed, running a hand through his hair, the excitement completely drained out of him. His mind kept drifting back to V, to that damn game they'd been playing. Something about it felt... different, and it was bugging the hell out of him.

Shezam:- "You still with me, babe?🫣"

Jeongguk:- "Yeah, just got a lot on my mind. We'll pick this up later, okay? 😘"

He hit send, not even waiting for a reply before tossing his phone onto the bed. He sat there for a moment, feeling restless, frustrated. What the hell was going on with him? Usually, he'd be all in with Shezam, but now... it just felt empty.

Jeongguk thought, "What's wrong with you, man? You've got everything you want right here."

But even as he tried to convince himself, he knew the truth-his mind was somewhere else. Or rather, with someone else.

He got up, pacing the room, trying to shake off the weird vibe that had settled over him. But the more he thought about it, the more he realized... he didn't want to talk to Shezam right now. He wanted to talk to V. That's where his mind kept going, no matter how much he tried to fight it.

Finally, with a frustrated groan, he grabbed his phone again, flipping back to V's chat. Maybe it was just curiosity, or maybe it was something more. But whatever it was, he couldn't shake the need to see what V was up to.

As he typed out a quick message, he couldn't help but smirk, a little of that old fire creeping back in.

[@Jk_moon_1997]
So, what's next, V?
Got any more dares up
ur sleeve? ;)

He hit send, feeling more alive in that moment than he had all night. Maybe this was exactly what he needed.

(a/n:- Yaa? Do you love the way they talk?...uk, i want an angst so bad 😈)
