The golden palette of sunlight seeps into the small room and brushes over the small boy that sits cross-legged on his bed. Taehyung surrounds himself with many notes and books, trying to revise some of the things that he learnt in school so he can keep up with his work. 

Taehyung had woke up dark and early that day. He would say bright and early but when he awoke the sky was still a black canvas littered with fading stars. He woke up THAT early. 

He recalls the reasoning for his early awakening. 

"Then why are you stuttering?" He asks with a smirk. 

A rosy hue flushes across Taehyung's soft cheeks as he looks down in embarrassment. 

"I-I think I'm g-going to go s-sleep now," he splutters out nervously. 

"At 6:30?" Jungkook asks with a smug smile. 

Taehyung nods as he pushes himself under the covers, hiding his flushed face from the other boy's intense eyes.

He can hear a light chuckle from the ravenette as he watches him hide under the covers, causing him to squirm in embarrassment. He can't help but feel like a loser, acting this way in front of the all-mighty Jeon Jungkook. 

Taehyung bites into the toastie he made, ensuring not to drop any crumbs on his neatly made bed. He had decided to go make some breakfast when Jungkook went to go shower and he unsurely made the decision to make Jungkook breakfast...again. 

Taehyung hopes Jungkook doesn't find his act of kindness weird because that would be another trait to the long list of bad qualities he has. It would probably be right under 'being gay'. 

Despite his worries, Taehyung had placed the ham and cheese toastie on Jungkook's bedside table and then trudged over to his own bed to start studying. 

The boy is so engrossed in his books that one major problem just flew right over his head. 

He is still in the room. As in, he's going to see a live reaction of Jungkook finding the meal. This fact doesn't seem to sink into the boy's head until he hears the bathroom door open and Jungkook step out in his half-naked glory. 

He shyly peeks up from his glasses to see Jungkook rubbing a towel over his firm abs while staring confusedly at the contents on his bedside table. Taehyung follows the boy's gaze only to freeze momentarily as he realises his mistake. 

 I'm is probably going to get beat up now.

He doesn't even notice Jungkook's rippling back muscles as he walks over to the plate of food and picks it up, inspecting it. Taehyung gulps before picking up a large book and pretending to read it, hoping that Jungkook just ignores the fact that Taehyung just made him breakfast, 2-days-in a row. 

Oh god, what if he thinks I like him! Taehyung shivers in fear at his own thoughts. He would kill me.

"Hmm, Bambi-eyes, what have you made for me this morning, huh?" 

Taehyung drops his book in shock upon hearing the ravenette's teasing tone and that...that nickname. 

Taehyung nervously nibbles on his lips, shyly looking down as he answers, "t-toastie."

Jungkook hums in acknowledgement before grabbing the toastie and taking a decent-sized bite. 

Taehyung stares at him with anticipation, attempting to look as nonchalant as possible but failing miserably.

Jungkook raises his eyebrows, seemingly satisfied with the taste. "Damn, this is good!" 

Taehyung blushes profusely at the subtle compliment and hastily picks up the book again to cover his reddening cheeks. 

Jungkook notices the smaller boy's actions and a smug smile tugs at his lips. "Now tell me," he says while walking closer to the boy. Taehyung notices this and tenses up behind the book. "Why are you trying to hide behind that book, huh?"

The blue-haired boy instantly pulls the book away from his face, revealing his somewhat flustered expression, which only intensifies when he notices the half-naked Jungkook walking towards him. 

"I-I wasn't hiding, I was s-studying." 

Jungkook's smirk intensifies, eyes sparkling in amusement. "Is that so?" He asks with a raised brow, leaning closer to the anxious boy. Taehyung can smell the sweet smell of shampoo and aftershave as Jungkook leans in towards him. "I didn't know you read your chemistry books upside down," Jungkook says, smug smile growing even further as he eyes Taehyung with his ever so intense gaze. 

Taehyung wants to dig himself a hole and bury himself in it. How utterly stupid could he be? The boy flushes in embarrassment, trying to stutter out an excuse."I-I," but his lame attempt at redemption is rudely interrupted by the sound of a ring tone. More specifically, Jungkook's phone ringing.

Jungkook, without even checking to see the caller ID, answers the phone. 

"Hello?"

Taehyung notices how the amusement in the ravenette's face washes away immediately and replaces itself with something darker; an angry scowl.

"What do you want?" the boy spits out to whoever is on the other side of the phone, turning away from Taehyung as he speaks. 

Taehyung notices Jungkook's form go tense as he continues speaking. "Haven't I told you before! I don't fucking want you here," he seethes out. 

Taehyung slightly flinches at the harshness of Jungkook's words, wondering what the other person on the line has done to deserve such treatment.

Jungkook's anger seemingly increases into a spiral of molten rage as he continues the phonecall. 

"DON'T YOU FUCKING DARE! LEAVE ME THE HELL ALONE, DON'T YOU DARE STEP FOOT ANYWHERE NEAR HERE."

Taehyung sits rigidly as the boy continues yelling, noticing that now the other end of the line has also increased the volume of their voice and is yelling back. 

"J-just let me live, goddamit!" Jungkook yells, sounding slightly vulnerable. 

A few more words are spoken from the other end of the line before the phone call abruptly ends. 

All that is heard in the room for a few seconds is Jungkook's heavy breathing but that is suddenly broken as Jungkook breaks into a fit of rage. He screams in pure anger before picking up the lamp from his bedside table and smashing it against the ground. 

Taehyung gasps and stares at the now broken lamp in fear and shock. Jungkook meets eyes with the blue-haired boy before marching right up next to him. Taehyung feels the intimidating glare on him as he hesitantly looks up. Jungkook's black irises are burning with an angry red as they stare into Taehyung. 

"This world is corrupt all because of fucking gay cunts like you," he seethes.

Taehyung chokes at the words, his heart squeezing painfully in his chest as the intensity of the words settles in.

Jungkook turns around and quickly starts getting dressed as Taehyung moves back against the bed until his back hits the wall. 

Jungkook puts his shirt on rapidly before rushing to the door. He suddenly stops midway and turns his attention back to Taehyung, who flinches at the boy's gaze and instinctively raises his shaky hands over his head to protect himself from any possible violence. An indecipherable look crosses over Jungkook's face as he looks at the small boy's shaking form but he quickly shakes it off before marching out the door. 

Taehyung sits there in the haunting silence of the room, the broken lamp that sits on the floor near him, acting as a constant reminder of the scene earlier.

The boy shakes as everything replays in his head. The harsh words of the ravenette playing through his mind like a broken record. 

This world is corrupt all because of fucking gay cunts like you

This world is corrupt all because of fucking gay cunts like you

This world is corrupt all because of fucking gay cunts like you

Jungkook's words hurt more than they should have. Jimin had warned him about Jungkook, he knew Jungkook wasn't fond of people like him, so why did those words hurt so much. 

Why does he feel like he's tainting the world with his sins? Is he really tainting this perfect world with his desire to love men?

Taehyung wants to cry, he wants to cry till his eyes are red and puffy and till he feels nothing but the dull headache from crying too hard. But the blue-haired boy forces back his tears, trapping them away in the overfilling bottle of emotions because he knows he can't cry in a place like this. 

Crying makes you look weak. It makes you unmasculine. It makes you look like a fucking gay cunt.

They say to use words rather violence but I'd rather have you punch me across the face than pierce me through the heart with your harsh words.
