Taehyung looks at Jungkook in the eye almost as if to see if he's joking.

    "Jungkook." Taehyung starts even though he is completely speechless. "You. You're a nice guy and everything~"

    "I don't want to hear that Tae, I'm not one of those other guys, I care about you." Jungkook says.

Taehyung looks away suddenly feeling exposed.

    "I'm not judging you. And I'm not asking for anything but for you to give me a chance to treat you the way you should be treated."

Taehyung shakes his head looking down at his hands. "You don't understand~"

    "Then help me." Jungkook says trying to make eye contact but Taehyung avoids it. "Help me understand whatever it is you think I don't."

Taehyung sighs. "I'm just. I'm not ready for this. I'm not fit to be in a relationship."

    "That's fine. I'm not asking you to be ready now." Jungkook says.

Silence falls over them for a while before Jungkook speaks.

    "It's okay if you reject me. Because I'll just keep trying to win you over until I get everything right." Jungkook says standing. "I'm not a photographer or anything, but I can totally picture me and you together."

Taehyung can't help but laugh at the stupid line.

    "Come on." Jungkook says smiling and holding out his hand.

Taehyung takes Jungkook's hand and carefully stands.

    "How about we go back to mine and change. Then we can go get Hoseok and hangout for a while." Jungkook says.

    "O-okay." Taehyung says fumbling dumbly over his words for absolutely no reason. 

Jungkook laughs before leading the way back down the wooded hill.

Taehyung follows Jungkook all the way to the car where Jungkook opens his door with a smile.

    "You don't have to do that." Taehyung says.

     "Hush. I'm trying to win you over." Jungkook says letting him get in the car before closing the door and rounding the car.

Jungkook drives off in the direction to his house after getting in and starting the car.

Taehyung looks out the window listening to Jungkook hum softly along with the music.

Taehyung starts to really think about himself during the short car ride to Jungkook's house.

Why couldn't he be normal for a change and give Jungkook a chance.

He was nice to him. And even though he knows part of his secret he hasn't left him or looked at him with that disappointed look many of his ex-friends have given him.

And he hasn't tried to get with him now that he knows how easy he is.

But what does that mean?

Sure those little things set him apart from anyone who has ever tried to be more than a quick lay to Taehyung.

But what about Taehyung and his incessant need for sex.

Even now Taehyung's body craves the feeling of the addicting release.

Taehyung shakes his head trying to clear the thought from his mind.

Jungkook parks the car on the curb in front of his house.

    "Wait." Jungkook says as he unbuckles his seat belt and gets out the car.

Taehyung waits confused for a moment before Jungkook opens his door.

Jungkook smiles holding out his hand to help Taehyung out of the car.

    "Jungkook you don't have to win me over. I'm sorry but I honestly don't think I can be in a relationship." Taehyung says.

     "First rejection down. How many more to go? I don't know." Jungkook says still smiling softly as he helps Taehyung out of the car.

    "I just don't want to lead you on." Taehyung says.

    "Don't worry about it." Jungkook closes the door and leads Taehyung up the driveway.

Jungkook's house is huge and Taehyung wonders why a family of three need a house this big.

Jungkook takes Taehyung to his room and tells him to sit on the bed.

    "My clothes might be slightly too big but it's better than wearing that suit. Which you look amazing in by the way." Jungkook winks as he opens his closet.

Taehyung looks down hoping his face didn't flush at the compliment.

Jungkook gives Taehyung a pair of jeans he outgrew and a hoodie that was big on him so it'd be even bigger on Taehyung.

    "Bathroom's right outside on the right." Jungkook says handing him the clothes.

    "Thanks." Taehyung says taking the clothes and going to the bathroom.

Taehyung changes in Jungkook's clothes and he finds himself blushing when he looks in the mirror.

He likes the way Jungkook's jeans hang slightly off his hips and the way the simple hoodie engulfs him. 

The hoodie smells like Jungkook and Taehyung smiles a little.

After getting himself together Taehyung goes back to Jungkook's room knocking on the closed door.

Jungkook opens the door and Taehyung's eye instantly rake over his bare torso before he forces his eyes to stay on his face.

    "I texted Hobi and told him we were coming to get him." Jungkook says.

    "O-okay." Taehyung says stepping into the room.

    "You can leave that in the car so you can have when I drop you off." Jungkook says gesturing to the suit Taehyung had neatly folded.

    "Thanks." Taehyung says.

Jungkook takes his sweet little time finding a shirt purposely when he feels Taehyung's gaze on his back.

Once he does pull on the plain white t-shirt he turns to Taehyung who is lost in his own thoughts.

    "Let's go Tae." Jungkook says getting his attention.

Taehyung follows Jungkook out of the house and to the car.

Jungkook still opens the door for Taehyung but Taehyung doesn't complain this time.

--

Taehyung, Jungkook,and Hoseok all end up at Jin's house.

Even though Jin and Taehyung haven't spoken in a while no one brings it up and everything seems fine again.

    "Jungkook. Hoseok told me your parents were having a business party. What happened?" Jin asks joining the three in the living room.

    "Nothing. I just didn't feel like being there anymore." Jungkook shrugs.

    "It's been a while since we sat around like this hasn't it Hobi." Jin says sitting down on the single chair while Taehyung and Jungkook sit on the loveseat and Hoseok lays across the three seater.

   "Yeah. Too bad Joon's at work though." Hoseok says playing with Jin's dog.

    "Yeah. He's been taking on a lot of shifts lately. I'm not sure what that's about though." Jin says flipping through the channels on the TV.

Jin lived in a nice neighborhood and had nice parents that supported him in anything he wanted to do.

Jin's life was almost like a dream life to Taehyung.

Two perfect parents. A loving boyfriend. And a dog.

    "So Jungkook have you warmed up to us yet?" Jin asks.

    "I've always felt welcomed with you guys." Jungkook says.

    "Good. I guess that means you can call me Hyung now." Jin says.

Jungkook chuckles a little.

Taehyung's phone buzzes in his pocket and he drowns out the conversation and reads the message.

Appa:

Come home. Now.

Taehyung's entire body goes numb for a second when he sees the message.

    "You okay?" Jungkook asks quietly as to not draw attention.

    "Yeah. It's okay. I mean I'm okay." Taehyung says smiling at Jungkook reassuringly.

     "Is it your dad? Do you need me to take you home?" Jungkook asks, concern laced through his voice.

    "No. It's okay." Taehyung says locking his phone.

Jungkook nods and continues conversation with Jin and Hoseok.

It's like Taehyung had a death wish or something.

What was he doing? He should be hauling ass back home.

His dad would definitely kill him when he got home.

    "You're worrying me." Jungkook says talking to Taehyung again.

    "I'm fine." Taehyung says.

    "You're shaking." Jungkook says.

Taehyung shakes his head but then realizes he is actually trembling.

    "Um. I hate to leave when we just got here. But Taehyung has to get home." Jungkook says standing and pulling Taehyung with him.

    "I-I'll see you guys t-tomorrow maybe." Taehyung says trying his best to sound normal.

    "Oh. Okay. Are you alright Tae? You don't look so good." Jin says standing as well.

Taehyung shakes his head. "I'm fine. I think I'm just. Tired. So."

Hoseok stands concerned laced in his features. 

    "Alright. Well I'll see you tomorrow then." Jin says stepping to hug Taehyung.

Taehyung flinches at Jin's sudden movement but even though Jin notices he doesn't say anything as he hugs Taehyung gently.

    "You're always welcome to stay here Tae. You know my mom doesn't mind." Jin says pulling away and looking over Taehyung's face.

    "Thanks Hyung." Taehyung says smiling a little and hoping it passes as a real one.

Jin nods smoothing Taehyung's hair down. "Anytime."

Hoseok pats Taehyung's shoulder. "I'll see you tomorrow Tae."

Taehyung nods and heads towards the door.

    "Later guys." Jungkook smiles.

Jin smiles hugging Jungkook as well.

Jungkook hugs Jin back before letting him go and following Taehyung outside.

Taehyung stands by the car fiddling with the sleeves of his hoodie.

    "You ready?" Jungkook asks.

    "Jungkook." Taehyung says his voice shaking on the way out.

     "Yeah?" Jungkook asks standing next to him.

     "I know it's a lot to ask but, can I stay with you tonight?" Taehyung asks looking up from his sleeves.

      "Of course you can." Jungkook says without a second thought.

      "Thank you. It won't happen again I promise. I just. I can't do it~." Taehyung cuts himself off with a small sob that escapes him.

       "Hey. It's okay Tae." Jungkook says placing a gentle hand on the small of Taehyung's back.

       "I hate to be a burden." Taehyung says looking at Jungkook with teary eyes.

        "You'd never burden me." Jungkook says meaning every word.

Taehyung nods looking down and wiping his face.

Jungkook opens Taehyung's door before walking around the front of the car to get in.

Taehyung looks down at his phone to see the new messages.

Appa:

hwo daes you ignorre me

Appa:

Appa:
