sorry for the short chapter

tw // mention of suicide

***

"So, what's your worst temptation?", Jungkook wiggled his brows the next morning. Taehyung and him were waiting in front of the next simulation. "None of your business", Taehyung avoided looking at the younger, staring down to his feet the whole time.
"No, tell me, I should know if we go in there together", Jungkook said all excited, "Our task is to resist our worst temptations for 24 hours, right?"

"Right", Taehyung grumbled, looking tired as hell. He had not slept at all last night, fear keeping him awake of what he did with creating Jungkook. As sweet and innocent as he looked, the wronger that impression was. And going into a room full of temptations with this boy felt like walking right into the fire.
What if his worst temptation would be to kill Taehyung or anyone else? Would Taehyung be running away from Jungkook for the next 24 hours or what was going to happen in there?
"Now tell me!", Jungkook kept bugging him, trying to get his secrets out of him, "TaeTae!~"

"Stop with that name", the older groaned, "Why do you even want to know? You'll see it yourself in a couple of minutes."

"I just want to know", Jungkook sighed, "I want to know what we're going to face there. If there's gonna be a bank to rob or if there's going to be a knife to kill-"
"I think you're the one we should worry about", Taehyung grunted, "You're the psychopath who can't be trusted."

"Have I ever let you down?", Jungkook rolled his eyes.
"No."
"See", he shrugged and then pushed the door open, too impatient to wait a little more.

"Good morning you two", Namjoon said when he saw them stumbling in, putting his glasses down while biting onto a pen, "I must say I'm still impressed by yesterday. You two did an excellent first round."

"Thanks", Taehyung looked anxious.

"Of course it gets harder every day. Today we cannot control what you two will face in there. It is constructed by your own mind, your own morals. The temptation room is made to show you the worst behavior of yourself that comes with great pleasure. Usually we see hidden anger in there and a lot of murder. So, just to make sure you two know what you are about to face, if in any case you two might want to kill each other-, please remember that you two are not simulated in this room. If one of you dies, you really die. Anything that isn't you two is only simulated so feel free to let out your anger on whatever you face in there. Just don't kill yourself or your partner. Alright?"

"Kill ourself?", Taehyung asked shocked, "Has that happened?"

"It happens all the time, Taehyung. Suicide is one of the worst temptations a broken soul has to resist." Namjoon looked a little sad while saying all that, "Good luck. You'll need it. If you give in to your needs, you lose this round. If you resist, you are through the second round as well."

Jungkook sideglanced Taehyung and so did the older.
"Don't you dare fuck this up", Kook hummed and then the two boys entered the door to the simulation, got caught in full darkness and when they opened up their eyes again, everything had changed.

They were standing in a room, lights dimmed and the curtains shut. There were no doors, only a huge shelf full of knives, handcuffs and all kinds of ropes that you could imagine. Jungkook's mouth fell open as he saw all of that, glaring at Taehyung, "Dude what the-"

Taehyung however stared at the other side of the room, there was a huge bed, candles put all around it and roses thrown above the blanket. It looked romantic, absolutely pretty and completely different to the side Jungkook stared at.
"What the fuck", Jungkook repeated once again, "You sicko-"

Taehyung blushed as he saw the huge collection of knives and ropes, "So you're into knife play huh"; he joked awkwardly but Jungkook was not having it, he just stepped back and stared at Taehyung blankly, "Explain", he grumbled. "Why the hell am I standing in front of a shelf full of dangerous things and why am I the only one in a room with you right now?"

Taehyung remained silent, biting his lips for a while. Something about Jungkook seemed different in here, his eyes were a little more shiny and his whole presence felt as if he was glowing, drawing Taehyung in with nothing but his existence. "Taehyung?!"
But the older was far gone already, stepping closer to Jungkook slowly but surely. He approached him, putting his hands on the boy's slim waist while staring at him for a while, "I was so sure I'd see you kill someone today in here", he whispered, brushing along Jungkook's soft cheek, "But here we are. All your tempted to do is doing something really romantic with me, huh? Do you like me that much?", Taehyung wiggled his brows, shoving Jungkook over to the bed.

Jungkook's heart was speeding up, following the older's steps until they reached the bed and Jungkook let himself fall down on it, pulling Taehyung on top of him. "So you're tempted to do dangerous stuff to me while fucking me or what exactly does your collection of knives mean?"

"Mhm", Taehyung hummed, pulling out a knife from the drawer of the nightstand. He put it to the younger's throat and then just smiled, "I just like the thought of a monster trusting me enough to let me turn into the monster."

Jungkook went silent, eyes facing the wall now. He wasn't a monster.
Hearing that hurt.
"Taehyung", he pouted, "I'm not a monster, I'm your best friend. We were never meant to break apart back then", he let his hands wander down Taehyung's back until he reached his pants and slowly started pushing them down, "You're scaring me with the knife."

"How can something so bad want to be so good?", Taehyung asked delightful, smirking at Jungkook.
"Because I want to be good for you." Jungkook explained shyly and that's when they could not stay apart anymore, their lips smashed onto the other, hands roaming all above their bodies and the blanket made its way above them quicker than they could close their eyes and land roughly on the floor in Namjoon's laboratory.
"Ouch", Jungkook yelled out, Taehyung landing on top of him.

The position they were in gave away it all and made Namjoon sigh out loudly,
"Five minutes. That's a new record", he rolled his eyes and then just walked across the room. "You idiots couldn't even stay away from each other for more than five minutes-"

"Wait", Taehyung slowly sat up, "That's our worst temptation? Being with each other?"

"Yeah", Namjoon looked a little worried, "I never saw that happening if I'm being honest. Usually the temptations shown in there are those ones that cause great pain if reached. I don't know what would be the problem if you two-"
Jungkook and Taehyung shared one look, remaining silent because they knew, they just knew.

Two wrongs not always made a right.

"So that means we failed?", Taehyung asked after a while. "Can we try again?"

"Yeah, tomorrow", Namjoon hummed. "See ya."
He left the room and the two boys sat there, still on the floor and looked at the other full of shame. "Did we just-", Jungkook started but Taehyung cut him off before he could finish his sentence. "-yeah we almost did."

"So you're my worst behavior", Jungkook whispered, hovering a little closer, "That's funny because my mind is full of horrible things I feel like doing but you seem to cause the most damage if given into."
He leaned closer, shyly touching Taehyung's thighs. "So this is where the story begins, huh?"

"What story?", Taehyung asked, pushing off Jungkook's hand.

"Ours", Jungkook grinned, "I can't wait to find out what happens if you and me collide."
"Nothing will happen", Taehyung said harshly, "Because you and me will never happen, understood? You're my experiment, my graduation project. A monster that I accidentally brought to life."

"Yet you still love me", Jungkook chuckled, "And you're tempted to fuck the shit out of me, that's kinda cute."

"Could you please be quiet?", Taehyung huffed.

"Only if you promise me one thing", Jungkook grinned sheepishly, "If we ever give into each other, let's make sure to cause the human race a living hell, can we do that?"

Taehyung remained silent, his heart warming up in a weird way, "You're so fucking creepy, do you know that? What did the human race do to us to deserve hell?"
"Locked us up in space?", Jungkook snapped, "Created something supernatural like I am, something that takes everything human about us away. It's not fair, I deserve to be human as well."

"You're almost human, Kook", Taehyung said. "Almost isn't enough", Kook shook his head, "I want to feel things the way you do, Tae. All I ever feel is a blank space, darkness all the time. Nothing ever happens in my body. I want to feel something."

Taehyung gulped, "So that's why the room looked so romantic yet handed me knives to kill easily, you'd really die to feel something?"

Jungkook stayed silent.

"Wow. Maybe that's the most human part I've seen in you so far."
