A/N: There will be more dialogue and less texts in this chap. Also ignore time stamps <3

JJK, POV

The drive back to his shared home with Chaeyoung was a long one..to say the least. For starters, Taehyung was a very talkative drunk. He didn't hold back any of his thoughts, especially not ones that involved how he's gotten off to old sexting convos between the two of them. Tae was truly shameless in this state and if only he knew the way his words were effecting the male in the drivers seat. 

"KOOOKSS, isn't it so fuckning wild?!"

"What is, Taehyung?" Jungkook breathlessly speaks, not sure if he can restrain himself any further if Tae says another damn word about wanting to bring their past convos to life. 

"It's like, I don't know, like the sun and the moon and the stars and whateever the fucks elseesss out there are all alingging for us" Tae says with starry eyes looking at the male in the drivers seat but he's too far gone to notice the way Jungkook's breathing gets heavier and he gulps

"w-what do you mean?"

"You're my fucking NuMbEr NeIgHbOr BRO!!!! and okay *burp* one, we're both sexy as fuck. *burb* two, we're so close in age *burb* three we both LIVE IN FUCKING SEOUL LIKE WHAT ARE THE ODDS." Tae is giggling in between his burps

Thinking about it, it really isn't all that shocking that they both lived nearby each other, I mean typically numbers in a sequence are assigned in order, so why didn't they ever consider that an option to start with? Oh right. Because this was never supposed to fucking happen. 

Jungkook is about to speak but he hears a somber snore and feels a heavy weight plop against his arm. He can't help the way his arm tingles and he surely notices the butterflies that start swarming his stomach the moment he looks down at the gorgeous male. It takes the ear piercing ringing of his phone to snap him out of his gaze and return his eyes to the road.

"Hey, Chae. Did you get my text?"

"Yes, honey, I'm actually staying with the girls tonight anyway. We got caught up at rehearsal. I'll be home early in the morning though. I'll bring breakfast for us, have your co-worker stay for breakfast okay? I'd love to meet someone from your work!"

and Jungkook would have loved the gesture if that co-worker wasn't the same person Chaeyoung caught him whispering loving words to on more than one occasion..but she doesn't know. 

"Okay, Chae. Sounds good. I'll see you tomorrow. Be safe, for the baby, okay?" 

She just laughs as she hangs up the phone.

Suddenly they are back at Jungkook's home and he is carrying Taehyung bridal style into the house. He nearly lays the man down in his own bed before he suddenly realizes that he isn't single and this isn't just his bed. So he rushes across the hall to the guest room and lays Taehyung gently on the pillowy mattress. The gorgeous blonde makes a humm in contentment as he adjusts himself to get comfortable. It's also nearly 5 a.m. now and Jungkook is absolutely exhausted. He slowly helps Tae slide his shoes off and is about to leave the room whenever he feels his wrist being pulled and finds himself stumbling towards the bed. 

"Stay." Tae whispers, eyes still closed but not letting go

Jungkook has to gnaw on his bottom lip to keep himself from crawling into bed with Taehyung. "I can't...Tae"

and he halfway expects the older to remain asleep, thinking he only asked him to stay in his drunker stupor. However, he finds himself appalled whenever Taehyung is sitting up and staring right at him. With glassy, puppy eyes. 

"b-but...this won't ever h-happen again. and I've thought about it.. a-alot...we don't have to do anything...just l-lay with me" The words are whispered and stuttered. 

Jungkook gives in, only for a moment. He positions himself on his side while Tae nuzzles up against him. He finds himself tracing the shapes of various constellations on the warm skin underneath Tae's loose shirt. Wondering to himself how the hell this feels more natural with someone he's never met before today. Whenever he hears light snores coming from Taehyung, he releases a sigh and gently removes Tae's arm from his waist and slides his leg out from under the other's. 

He slides out of the mattress, reluctantly, but not before brushing the long blonde hair out of Tae's eyes and placing a soft, sweet, kiss on the males forehead. Seriously not understanding how he can feel the way that he does over someone he only talked to through texts and phone calls--and only for a couple months. The feeling even more overbearing than when he first fell in love with Chaeyoung. "Where were you 4 years ago?" he whispered, so quietly that he barely heard it himself. 

KTH, POV

The morning comes all too quickly whenever the sun is blinding him and suddenly his head is pounding. Panic overwhelming his body whenever he looks around the room not knowing at all where the hell he is. He jumps up frantically with a gasp but sits down quickly upon realizing that he cannot move that fast with the hangover he is currently dealing with. 

It's everything he has not to start puking on the really nice carpet he's standing on. Before he slugs his way into the hallway. Unsure of where his phone is, but assuming it's somewhere in this ginormous house. He hears snoring from the room across the hall and curiosity gets the best of him as he peeks in and sees none other than Jeon Jungkook. Asleep. Shirtless. Uncovered. Tussled Hair. Looking absolutely amazing. His jaw is dropped and he feels light headed suddenly, praying to god he didn't do anything he was going to regret. 

Not wanting to wake the male, he does his best to find a bathroom and allows himself to shower. As the warm water penetrates his skin, some spotty memories of the night before trickle into his mind. He remembers all the way up until he's in the bathroom with that guy...what was his name? Yumyum?? He chuckles, knowing there's no way that was the name of the guy he let fuck him in a public bathroom stall. Taehyung is overwhelmed by the need to know 1. how he ended up here and 2. where was Jungkook's pregnant fiance? 

As he comes out of the bathroom, he assumes Jungkook is still sleeping so he tiptoes into the room he came from. Shocked whenever he sees a pair of black sweatpants and white t-shirt folded neatly on the bed. He can't help the smile that comes over his face as he allows himself to change into the clothes. Loving the way they drape on his body...also loving the way they smell. 

KNOCK KNOCK

Tae gulps, knowing who is standing on the other side of the door and he reluctantly opens it. 

"I see you found the clothes" Jungkook says with a smirk

Tae smiles and rubs his neck "yeah, um, thank you.." he coughs "listen, I literally have no knowledge of anything that happened past like 3 a.m. at the club so, um, I-"

Jungkook's face blushes furiously "god, Tae, fuck. We didn't sleep together. Jesus" pinching the bridge of his nose whenever Tae let's out a relieved sigh "Though you did make several hints at wanting to." he smirks

"Oh god fucking just kill me now please" Tae groans as he plops back onto the bed and making the other male laugh 

"Hey, uh, my fiance mentioned wanting you to stay for breakfast. She was out with her friends last night but she'll be here soon." Jungkook asks nervously 

"Oh...sure...does sh-"

"No. Well, she knows of you. My 'texting friend' but she doesn't know who you are. what you look like or your name." they both smile softly but it's kind of a sad smile and they don't talk about why "You meant to call your brother for a ride last night but accidentally dialed me. I asked for your address but you were too drunk to tell me so I just brought you here. Sorry."

Tae hates the way his heart feels so warm at the way Jungkook not only actually picked him up in the middle of the night at a club but actually took really  good care of him. "Thank you, Jungkookie" he almost whispers 

and Jungkook's heart stops hearing Taehyung say his name like that while staring at him in person. They lock gazes for a moment before they both try talking at the same time. 

"So uh"

"Can we" 

They laugh but Jungkook talks first. "Can we get past this awkward in between stage? We're gonna see each other everyday and I honestly don't mind. I enjoy your company, Tae." 

and the older male smiles so brightly at that. Even though his heart is telling him to run. Because he already has more feelings than he should for the raven haired guy in front of him but instead he stands up and walks closer to him. "Jungkookie.." he looks at him with puppy eyes and Jungkook is terrified of what is gonna come out of his mouth but hums in response anyway "can I h-hug you? I just. We've had many conversations where I wanted to hug you but couldn't and after you saving me from myself last night.. I just wan-" and before he can finish it he feels two very strong arms engulfing his waist and holding him tightly. He wraps his arms around Jungkook's neck as if it was the most natural thing in the world and he nuzzles into his neck. Not even noticing the way he sniffs at the younger male's scent. Trying very hard to remember it. 

After what feels like an hour (read: 2 minutes) of hugging each other they finally pull away. Smiling and blushing, because who the hell hugs for two whole minutes. It's the sound of a soft voice from downstairs that makes them both finally look away and head down to the kitchen. 

Tae feels like he was just punched in the stomach whenever he is met with the woman in the kitchen that is hugging Jungkook tightly. but it isn't because she's hugging Jungkook. It's because she's the same woman that was clinging to Hoseok like a leech last night and suddenly he's fucking pissed. 

"Chae, I wanna introduce you to my co-worke-" Jungkook is cut off by Chae's gasp 

"Taehyungie?" She looks terrified but quickly plays it off as she runs and hugs him

 "Please. Not now" she whispers only for him to hear and if he didn't care so much about the guy looking at him right now, he would've cursed the bitch and called her out immediately. But he chooses to wait and get more information before outing her. 

"Jungkookie, you didn't tell me your co-worker was Kim Taehyung. I've met some of his friends at IDOL training events. We know each other." Chae smiles softly, still holding onto Taehyung's arm. 

Jungkook notices Tae's furrowed eyebrows and clenched teeth but doesn't comment on it. 

They eat breakfast fine and Taehyung thanks them for the hospitality. Jungkook offers to drive him home but he refuses. Not trusting himself to keep his mouth shut once they got a moment alone.

"Well, look what the cat dragged in." Namjoon scoffs as his brother makes the walk of shame 

"Not now Joonie... please. I'm really not in the mood." Tae sighs and he's thankful that his brother is so loving because Namjoon just smiles at him nodding and returning to his coffee. 

"Wanna ride into work with me today, Taehyung-ah?"

"Sure, sounds good. but I have lunch plans with Chim and Hobi."

"That's fine. I'm having lunch with Yoongs, Mr. Kim and Mr. Jeon anyway." 

Tae sighs heavily as he walks into his closet and picks out clothes for the day. Wondering how the hell he's gonna keep his cool around Jungkook knowing what he knows about their relationship already and knowing what he saw at the club last night. He's fucking pissed. 

Jungkook was so sweet and kind and caring. He didn't understand how that bitch could be so cruel. To fuck around on him, while pregnant. Tae doesn't even realize how fucked up this is until he feels tears streaming and has to slap himself. 

Stop. Don't feel. We don't feel. He has to remind himself. Jungkook is a friend. He cares for him like a friend should. He'd be just as mad if this was Jimin. Right?  

He scoffs, shaking his head. Fucking unbelievable.

"I'm off to work, Chae." 

"Okay Jungkookie. I have dinner plans tonight so don't worry about waiting for me to eat okay?" She asks sweetly kissing his cheek before heading upstairs. Jungkook isn't even surprised anymore. 

***

Jungkook really thought he'd be okay today. Honestly. I mean this morning was fine, surprisingly. Though he really did enjoy their hug a little too much. He didn't expect working with Taehyung to effect him this much. However, standing there in the center lobby talking to the receptionist about new security measures..he suddenly feels like the weight of the world is crushing him down when that gorgeous blonde strolls into the office. Laughing loudly at something Namjoon was saying. 

"Morning Mr. Jeon" Namjoon states happily shaking his hand 

Jungkook takes his hand and bows at the both of them "Morning, Namjoon-ssi..Taehyung-ssi" 

Tae just smiles at him before bowing back and carrying on the conversation with Namjoon walking towards the elevator. 

Jungkook is staring in awe, watching their interaction. Noticing every detail of the way Taehyung talks and finds himself mesmerized. Wondering how the hell he survived their close proximity last night and this morning. When he feels a hand on his shoulder "ahh, caught a glimps of Joon-hyung's brother, aye?" He turns to meet the familiar voice, his good friend and head of the scouting for JH Entertainment, Yugyeom. 

"N-no. Just was lost in thought. What's up Yugs?" Jungkook tries to brush it off with a fistbump but Yugyeom just laughs 

"You don't gotta lie to me Kooks. I know things aren't good at home. But I hate to break it to ya, I've got dibs on that one." Yugyeom winks and Jungkook doesn't know why the hell he feels so pissed but if the way his tongue is nearly piercing his cheek is any indicator--he's fucking fuming. 

"Dibs? He's not a fucking cattle at an auction, Yug." Jungkook grits and Yugyeom chuckles "I know that, Jeon. Jeez. but the way he was wrecked for me in the bathroom at Mikrokosmos last night..I'm pretty sure it won't be long before I'm with him again." 

"Y-you what?" Jungkook is really trying hard to maintain his composure but just the thought of someone seeing Tae...like that has him ready to explode.

"Sorry, Kooks. I don't fuck and tell. Not when it's someone worth keeping, anyways. I'll share details once I make him mine." Yugyeom winks once again before walking away and Jungkook knows there's noway in hell he's letting that happen.
