<Jungkook's pov>
The air in the gym was thick with the scent of sweat and something else... something distinctly him. I ducked under another one of his wild swings, the wind from his fist ruffling my hair. This was our "stress relief," apparently. For him, maybe. For me, it was just another excuse for Kim Taehyung to get under my skin. My every punch fueled by a potent cocktail of frustration and an inexplicable tremor that ran through me whenever he got too close.
He purred, his voice a low rumble that vibrated through my bones. A smirk, infuriatingly confident, played on his lips as he ducked my jab with an ease that suggested he wasn't even trying.

"You're being harsh on me."
Harsh? Harsh? I practically snarled, my fangs aching to extend. Baby? Fuck him. It felt like a calculated insult, a deliberate attempt to get under my skin - which, infuriatingly, it always did.
My blood, usually cool and collected, simmered with a heat I only seemed to experience when he was around. I feinted left and then delivered a sharp jab to his side. He grunted, a genuine sound of impact, but the smirk never wavered.
My knuckles stung, but a flicker of satisfaction went through me.
I panted, dodging another feigned hook.

"You're just slow, hyung."
I spat the honorific out, knowing it would irk him more than any punch. He hated being called 'hyung' like I was some respectful junior.
He chuckled, a low, rumbling sound that vibrated through the floorboards.

"Is that what you call it when you're trying to rip my head off, pup?"
My fangs ached. Pup. He knew exactly what he was doing. Every irritating nickname, every casual touch, every lingering glance... it was all designed to needle me, to provoke a reaction. And it always worked.
The urge to truly sink my teeth into him, to wipe that smirk off his infuriatingly handsome face, was almost overwhelming. It was a familiar, unwelcome surge of something primal that I couldn't quite place, but hated nonetheless.

"Just admit you can't keep up, Taehyung,"
I snapped back, my breath coming in ragged gasps. My chest burned, but it was nothing compared to the slow burn of irritation he constantly evaporates.
