"yes I'm a bad boy so i like bad girl. come here baby, we're gonna hit it off.

CHAPTER SIX

you're not mine but you're the best. my body twists and turns in front of you."

—

"Here."

Taehyung mumbles and shoves a grey headband into Jungkook's hands. Jungkook looks at him and then back at the headband, baffled. "What's this for?" He notices his best friend wearing a similar one to the one in his hands.

"You're helping me sort out my apartment ... it keeps the hair out of your face dumbass."

Jungkook hasn't been doing anything productive this summer like doing voluntary work, visiting his grandma, going on hikes, finding a job or anything that doesn't involve sitting at home, playing video games and eating food. He reassures himself that it's summer and he's allowed to be bored and lazy.

So once again, he's at Taehyung's apartment, ready to clean and move in furniture. Taehyung needs Jungkook to help but doesn't want to admit he's stronger.

Jungkook lifts up his arms to show the boy his toned arm muscles and Taehyung rolls his eyes, walking into another room.

He comes back with a cardboard box that he ends up dragging across the floor because it's too heavy. Taehyung points to the book shelf in the living room that Jungkook didn't notice until now. "Books. On that shelf. Let's go."

"You're so demanding nowadays. Calm down taetae."

"Look after my books! They're my babies!"

Jungkook observes the box before taking out a book covered in dust. He pretends to throw it and Taehyung leaps with fright.

"I'll kill you Jeon Jungkook."

"You wouldn't." He smiles.

The two boys work their way through Taehyung's apartment slowly. They clean, dust and wipe to make sure every spot is neat and shiny. Jungkook is busy placing books on shelves, taking his time whilst reading the blurb of every single one in different tones. He makes sure not to skip the romantic novels like he would normally.

Taehyung busies himself with photographs and aesthetic Polaroid's that he decorates the fridge and a white wall with. They're tied together with a piece of string near the front door and Jungkook walks on over, wanting to see his masterpiece. It makes him smile when he sees a goofy, cute picture of him and Taehyung.

"Okay what's next my majesty?" Jungkook asks after finishing the box and sitting on it. It turns out to be a bad idea since it rips.

"Ties."

"Okay. Let's get it!" Jungkook is strangely in a good mood and that's only because he's forcing himself not to think about Elianna.

He's distracting himself and doesn't want to pay a single thought to her when he knows for a fact, that he means nothing to her. It makes him depressed but he should've known after Taehyung's words. It's his fault for turning whatever they had into something messy.

They don't even have anything.

Jungkook takes out a tie and he stops because it's the exact colour of Elianna's eyes. He can't stop himself from thinking about her eyes as he holds the tie. He ends up thinking about how they looked up at him when she was beneath him, how they created an uneasy feeling in his stomach every time they made eye contact and how they looked in the dark, in the light.

Jungkook shakes his head, annoyed at himself and walks over to Taehyung who's sorting out silver utensils. He throws the tie around his neck playfully and pulls him back. "Do you want to go on a date later?"

"Sure, where to?" Taehyung replies thoughtlessly. "But if it involves kinky shit like this, no thanks." He takes off the tie.

Jungkook and Taehyung are so used to each other. 

"I was going to go to the gym. You want to come?" Jungkook questions.

Taehyung looks disgusted at the thought of the gym which makes Jungkook laugh. "I'm not coming to stare at your abs anymore, no."

Jungkook moves back to the box of ties and huffs, not wanting to sort out the tangled mess.

"I just remembered. Shit, I need to get my hoodie off Elianna. We can do this later." Taehyung says, randomly remembering and he moves towards the door. "We can grab some lunch on the way back."

Hearing Elianna's name suddenly makes Jungkook freeze. He tries to play it off though. "Why does she even have it?" He asks as they walk out of his apartment.

"She stole it from me at the last party."

Jungkook of course wants to come, he wants to see her. No ... wait, no he doesn't, he tells himself.

Jungkook and Taehyung walk out into the crisp air with short sleeved shirts and shorts. So the cold air creates goosebumps but Jungkook doesn't mind, he likes the cold weather but no rain.

Taehyung loves walking. He walks usually everywhere. He's a man who's close with nature and Jungkook knows that. Anyone could tell from the way he gets too carried away with walking that he forgets he's with someone, from the way he ends up staring at the trees or the fluff balls in the sky as they fade away so he ends up bumping into someone and you could tell from the way he moved his head quickly, every time he heard any kind of animal. 

Jungkook follows and they arrive at an apartment complex which looks similar to Taehyung's. It was a short ten minute walk.

Jungkook wonders why they're not at the big house where the parties are held, but he finds out it's actually Jin's house and he lets her host parties there.

Taehyung steps forward, knocking on the plain door with a gold engraved number, before stepping back to stand side by side with Jungkook. They wait patiently in silence and it catches them by surprise when the door swings opens abruptly, crashing into the wall.

Jungkook flinches because a loud bang is made and a tall shirtless man walks out. The two of them stay quiet, Jungkook slightly befuddled as they make awkward eye contact with the man who just came out of Elianna's apartment.

He stands there with a blank look on his face, embarrassed and Jungkook starts to stare at the crusty ceiling, not wanting to look at the half naked man in red boxers.

Jungkook once again, is disappointed because this is what Elianna gets up to, this is her life and she doesn't care about him the way he wants her to. The man resembles Jungkook in a way, a hook up. One for day, one for night.

Taehyung is about to say something to the random man and Jungkook imagines that it was probably going to be, what are you looking at or where's Elianna you creep? But Elianna herself appears in the doorframe, throwing a white shirt and a pair of ripped jeans at the boy who looks like he's shivering.

"Go away now." Elianna stares at him and her tone is emotionless. Her hair is down in waves, a ragged mess, her beige eyes droopy and she crosses her arms over her chest. Jungkook thinks to himself about how nice she looks in sweatpants.

They wait for the man to leave who seems to be taking his time. Elianna stares at him, tilting her head and Jungkook's staring at her, the way she looks tired of life, drained and how she's throwing daggers with her eyes at the man. Taehyung watches the man, bored with a look that says, can you fucking hurry up?

Then Elianna turns to Taehyung and Jungkook. "Hey." She smiles and her mood shifts completely.

Taehyung smiles back. "You alright?"

She nods and then shifts her gaze to look at Jungkook. Jungkook forces himself to keep eye contact with her and the way she smiles at him makes his stomach turn. It's such a contrast from how she was looking at the random man.

Seeing Elianna smile was something extraordinary but seeing her smile at him was heavenly.

Elianna pretends like a half naked man didn't just walk out of her apartment and asks what brings them to her home. "You're a thief. Where's my hoodie?" Taehyung raises his brows.

"Can I keep it?" She asks.

"No."

Jungkook would like to give all his hoodies to her.

"Fine." Elianna rolls her eyes and goes into her apartment to retrieve the hoodie. She gives it back to Taehyung and he grins, putting it on immediately.

"Thank you ma'am."

"You're welcome kind sir. I apologise for stealing your hoodie." She bows down before patting Taehyung's shoulders.

This is a side to Elianna he's never seen before and it makes him joyful. Taehyung really does bring out the fun side to people.

Jungkook realises how quiet he's being but he's always quiet and he hope Elianna doesn't question it. She doesn't and instead starts to laugh, uncontrollably.

"Holy fuck." Leaves her lips. "Look at your headbands."

"Hey." Taehyung snaps. "It's a look we're pulling off fantastically, would you just look at us." He flicks the back of his mullet.

Elianna smirks at Jungkook, an emotion he can't quite pinpoint is in her eyes. "I'm looking and I like."

Jungkook's cheeks feel hot and he has to look away from her.

"You guys look cute." She says.

"Okay go back to whatever it is that you do El. I'll see you soon." Taehyung says and starts to push his best friend away. "Come on Jungkook, let's go."

Jungkook sighs, wondering what it is that she does except play games with people.
