Jungkook doesn't know what's more embarrassing.

The fact that he's in the library because he has way too many essays to type out and because he wants to stay away from Jimin.

Or that he's on fucking WikiHow looking at an article on 'How To Tell If Someone Has A Crush On You'. Is he delusional and literally searching for more ways to be sad over his stupid crush on Taehyung and the fact that the boy doesn't like him back??? Yes. But y'know what, this is just his way of procrastinating.

The thing is, Jungkook know Taehyung doesn't like him like that. It hurts, yeah, but he knows it. Is that going to stop him from making up scnarios in his head where Taehyung runs up to him and scoops him up and kisses him in front of everyone and calls him his boyfriend?? No.

God, Jungkook was sad and desperate. Yes, he knows it would make more sense for him to pine over someone who actually likes him back.. but it's not like there's many gay guys to go around in this school- so he'll just stick with what he has.

He opened up the article and made sure no one around him could peep into his laptop (because that would be really uncomfortable to explain).

How to find out if someone has a crush on you

Jungkook sighed. Why the fuck was he doing this.

Take note of heavy eye contact. Try to pay attention to the difference between a normal stare when having a conversation versus a more intense, lustful glare.

Hmm.. Jungkook finds Taehyung looking at him a lot. Like, for instance, during Chemistry. Jungkook was answering the teacher's question and kept hesitating because Taehyung had this intense stare on him. The moment Jungkook finished answering and looked at Taehyung, the boy turned his head away and had a light blush on his face. That... probably didn't mean anything though..

See how close the person gets to you. This is their way of getting as physically close to you as they can to express how they care and enjoy being near you.

Alright. So- Taehyung gets up in Jungkook's private space a lot. Not that Jungkook's complaining, he's definitely not. To think of it.. Jungkook can't remember a single lunch or breakfast or dinner in the past few weeks where he hadn't sat next to Taehyung.. And-and Taehyung always makes his way to touch Jungkook on his waist or back or shoulder or chin...

Notice their interaction with you on social media.

Jungkook hesitated before taking his phone out and opened instagram, which is what they used the most. He went onto his most recent post and saw the comments.

______________________________

Okay, maybe Taehyung commented loads on each of his posts and almost liked and commented the moment Jungkook posted. But that didn't mean anything, right? Jungkook and Taehyung are friends. Friends do this kind of stuff. Even if.. Taehyung was the only friend like this.. This didn't mean anything. Taehyung doesn't like Jungkook like that.

Jungkook just clicked his phone shut and continued reading this stupid article that probably wasn't even accurate.

Watch for text messages that don't have any real meaning.

Jungkook rolled his eyes and opened his phone again looking at the recent messages with Taehyung.

______________________________

If someone is always willing to spend time with you and never misses a chance to see you, then you can be sure they have a crush on you.

Jungkook gulped and then continued texting Taehyung.

______________________________

If someone has a crush on you, they may lightly make fun of you, not to hurt your feelings, but to make you smile.

______________________________

< | im kidding youre cute

______________________________

If someone is crushing on you, be ready for compliments about even the smallest things you do.

Jungkook's eyes widened as he finished reading the article. No.. No, okay- just because Taehyung did almost EVERYTHING it says in this article, it didn't mean anything. Of course it didn't. Taehyung. Doesn't. Like. Jungkook.

Or.. does he?

"Hey." Taehyung's voice suddenly popped out of nowhere and Jungkook slammed his laptop screen down and turned to see Taehyung.

"H-hi." Jungkook said in a small voice and Taehyung smiled. Not a smirk, but his rare boxy smile.

"You look frightened." Taehyung chuckled, sitting down onto the wooden chair beside him.

"I'm not." Jungkook replied and Taehyung hummed.

"So, what were you doing here anyways?" Taehyung asked, his voice lower- more calm.

"Just- um- working on the history essay." Jungkook said and Taehyung snickered. "That's due in like 2 weeks. Chill out, Kook. You take this school stuff way too seriously."

"My parents will kill me if I don't get an A this time, V. And this essay is basically half our grade." Jungkook snickered and Taehyung reached his fingers to play with Jungkook's chin.

"It's cute how much you care about school. But either way, we have 15 minutes until dinner- so just type it another time." Taehyung said. Jungkook blushed softly and nodded.

"Good. Now- do you wanna play a game?" Taehyung asked in a hushed tone and Jungkook furrowed his eyebrows.

"A game?"

*

"Okay okay- Now, what's the definition of... adumbrate." Jungkook said, holding the dictionary in his hands. He giggled when he saw Taehyung's brows strew in confusion.

"Something to do with cars?" Taehyung asked and Jungkook burst out giggling, shaking his head.

"No, silly! It means 'to describe roughly'. Okay, your turn!" Jungkook said excitedly, handing the dictionary to Taehyung, who was giggling as well.

They both sat in the corner of the library, in between two shelves with books about Geology and Earth Science- so it was easy to say they were alone. They both had a dictionary and decided to read out words and have the other one guess the definition.

Yeah, it was the stupidest game ever and if it was anyone else Jungkook would've been bored. But he couldn't stop giggling and just having fun. His heart beating steadily and a warmth radiating through his body every time Taehyung smiled.

"Alright, Jungkookie. Give me the definition of... the word 'is'." Taehyung said and Jungkook snickered.

"What? The definition of is? Who knows that? Why is that even in the dictionary?" Jungkook asked and then reached forward to grab the dictionary from his hands.

"No- tell me the definition!" Taehyung laughed and Jungkook crawled on top of his thighs, giggling lightly.

"No-" Jungkook said brattily and then grabbed the book and tossed it to the side. Taehyung placed his hands on Jungkook's waist and both their giggles died down as they stared at each other.

"V?" Jungkook asked softly and suddenly- Taehyung gripped Jungkook's waist tighter. Jungkook saw a flicker of hesitation in his eyes. Then Taehyung's shoulders relax a little.

"Don't call me that." Taehyung said softly, leaning forward a little. "Call me Taehyung. Or Tae."

Jungkook's eyes widened a little and his cheeks turned pink. "R-really? I mean- I thought-"

"It's fine." Taehyung said softly, fondly looking into Jungkook's pretty doe eyes. "I don't want other calling me by my real name... but you-you're different." Taehyung whispered.

"Okay.. Tae." Jungkook said and Taehyung smiled. Taehyung opened his mouth to say something, but Jungkook cut him off.

"Why am I different?" Jungkook asked, suddenly feeling a lot braver than before. Something felt different. There was a spark. There was something in Taehyung's eyes which reflected how Jungkook felt.

"W-what?" Taehyung asked and Jungkook fidgeted with Taehyung's fingers.

"Why can-" Jungkook continued and then they both heard some talking and Jungkook instantly leaped off Taehyung's lap.

A head poked through the shelves and Jungkook almost groaned when he saw Jimin.

"Oh.. Hi Jimin." Taehyung said in a small voice and Jungkook cleared his throat awkwardly.

"What're you guys doing here?" Jimin asked, wondering why the two looked so guilty, caught in the library between the most boring books.

"Studying." Jungkook said quickly and Taehyung nodded hurriedly. They both stood up, pretending like nothing was going on.

"What-what're you doing here?" Jungkook asked. Jimin looked at him, his eyes showing signs of skepticism.

"I was looking for you. Can we- um- talk?" Jimin asked and Jungkook was a little puzzled but just nodded solemnly.

"I'm gonna go for dinner. See you guys there." Taehyung said, waving at them and walking away. When he was sure Jimin couldn't see him, he winked at Jungkook making the raven haired boy giggle lightly.

Jungkook turned his attention to Jimin, who looked rather disquieted.

"What were you guys actually doing here?" Jimin asked and Jungkook snickered nervously.

"Studying.. for-"

"For Geology and Earth Science??" Jimin scoffed and Jungkook paused qualmly.

"We-um-yeah. It's-it's for English-" Jungkook said in a small voice, both slowly walking towards the exit of the library.

"English? Really? So you meet up with V every single day and both of you sneak off during lunch and practice to do, what, English?" Jimin snapped and Jungkook stopped in his tracks, looking at Jimin warily. Both of them were outside the library now, where the sky was much darker and it was cloudy- most definitely going to rain.

"Why do you keep bothering me? I don't ask what you do before dinner every day-"

"I'm surprised you even noticed!" Jimin remarked, his eyes darkened in anger. "You wanna know what I do before dinner, Jeon? Because I'd actually tell you- and not lie and make shit up."

Jimin rarely ever gets angry. Usually he's bubbly and adorable and lovable- so when he did get angry, it was the scariest thing ever. Rain started falling down to the ground like sharp daggers.

"What do you want?" Jungkook exasperated, his arms falling to his sides. Jimin laughed humorlessly, raking his hand through his hair.

"I want you to act like how you used to act, before..." Jimin said and Jungkook rubbed his face in annoyance, a sound of lightning eliciting from the distance.

"Before what?!"

"Before you and V started doing weird stuff together! I don't know what you guys are doing- but clearly there's a reason you aren't telling me. And-and- I don't want to assume, but-" Jimin continued and Jungkook scoffed, thunder booming in the skies.

"Assume what, Jimin? What do you think we're doing, huh?" Jungkook sneered in anger.

Jimin looked a little hesitant. "I don't know- Yoongi thinks you guys are like- doing drugs together- or something." Jimin said and Jungkook almost let out a sigh in relief.

"What?" Jungkook let out and then breathed out. "We-we don't- we don't do drugs, Jimin- what the fuck?"

"Then what do you guys keep whispering and giggling to each other about all the fucking time?!" Jimin asked, almost desperately wishing for some kind of response from his so called 'best friend'.

"I-" Jungkook breathed out, eyes softening. "I can't tell you."

Jimin's shouldes dropped and he rolled his eyes. Both were outside the food hall now.

"Whatever. Shouldn't have expected more from you anyway. Why don't you just fucking go room with V?" Jimin snapped, a hint of remorse laced in his tone.

"Oh please- I much rather room with him than with you." Jungkook snapped and Jimin snickered.

"Who's stopping you?" Jimin threatened and Jungkook's eyes flared with anger.

"Fine." Jungkook mumbled. Then he walked over to the table where all the guys were seated. He saw Taehyung sitting with Hoseok, laughing at something, and instantly grabbed his arm.

"I need to talk to you." Jungkook said. Taehyung looked a little confused, but dropped his spoon onto the table and got off his seat.

"Um, okay." Taehyung said, never having seen Jungkook look so pissed and then followed him outside the foodhall.

Jimin snickered, sitting down beside Yoongi, who pursed his lips. "Those two are off again." Yoongi mumbled and Jimin rolled his eyes.

"So I'm not the only one who noticed they've been acting weird?" Hoseok asked and Namjoon and Jin shook their heads.

"I'm pretty sure everyone's noticed. Yugyeom was telling me something about it the other day. Whatever. Jungkook's been pissing me off anyways." Jimin mumbled.

The five just sighed and continued eating and talking, like nothing happened. They just assumed the two were secretive and probably sneaked off to play video games or some dumb stuff.

But they were wrong.

They didn't know that Jungkook was trapped against the wall right now, while Taehyung's hands were holding him down and kissing him roughly. They didn't know anything.

But Jungkook and Taehyung would like to keep it like that. Or maybe only Taehyung...
