TAEHYUNG SIGHS OUT, UNABLE TO FOCUS ON ANYTHING.

He already misses Jungkook and he just saw him yesterday. He can't help it– he's already in love. Been that way since he first saw him the other day.

He's in love with Jungkook's smile– the simple quirk of his perfect pink lips or that bright smile with cute bunny-like teeth. Taehyung loves his soft laugh and dark eyes, the way he makes tea and how kind he is. He's nice to be around.

But Taehyung doesn't know him. Doesn't know his favorite things, how old he is, his hobbies, his birthday. Nothing.

Jin points this out, but Taehyung really doesn't want to hear it.

"You can't be in love with someone you don't even know personally," Jin tells him. "It's just an attraction, Taehyung. Trust me."

"But he makes me feel like..." Taehyung pauses, unsure of what he really means himself, "I don't know, but what I do know is that I wanna feel like that forever."

Jin shakes his head with a sigh. "You're hopeless," he says and almost laughs at how ridiculous Taehyung can be sometimes. "Tell me more about Jungkook and how much you 'love' him after you get to know him some more, yeah?"

"Fine," Taehyung grumbles, pouting. "I'll try to talk to him more without being weird about it. I don't want him to know how I feel yet."

"Alright, do what you want, Tae. Just please know that he might never feel the same for you. I'm sorry to say that but... it's the god-honest truth. He could even be in a relationship right now." Jin stands now, heading towards the kitchen. "In any case, how about I make us lunch?"

"Yeah," Taehyung says unenthusiastically, chewing on his bottom lip, "Yeah, uh, sounds great, I guess."

The moment Jin retreats into the kitchen, Taehyung breathes a sigh of relief.

Taehyung decides that Jin just doesn't get it. He doesn't understand how lonely Taehyung realized he is, how boring Taehyung's life is.

Jungkook is this bright, colorful, interesting spark of life in Taehyung's unextraordinary world. Taehyung won't let it just get away.

He decides that maybe he should talk to another friend of his about all of this, and hope they'll understand more.
