Three Typing Dots
Still online
Jungkook
Hyung, it’s almost 3 AM.
Why are you awake?
Jungkook
Again?
You said the same yesterday.
Taehyung
Yeah… it’s becoming a habit.
Jungkook
Bad one.
What’s on your mind?
Taehyung
Do you ever feel like… someone is right next to you, but still far away?
Jungkook
Hyung…
Why does that sound like me?
Jungkook
I didn’t know you felt like that.
Taehyung
You’ve been distant lately.
Even when we’re together, you’re not really there.
Jungkook
I thought keeping space would make things easier
Jungkook
The one between us… and what we’re supposed to be.
Taehyung
And what are we supposed to be?
Jungkook
Just… us.
Nothing more
Taehyung
That’s the problem, Kook.
I don’t want “just us” anymore.
Taehyung
I tried ignoring it.
I tried acting normal.
But I can’t
Jungkook
You’re making this harder.
Taehyung
Then tell me to stop.
Say you don’t feel anything.
Jungkook
Because I feel it too.
Jungkook
I was scared if I stayed… I wouldn’t be able to hide it.
Taehyung
You don’t have to hide from me.
Jungkook
But what if everything changes?
Jungkook
And you’re okay with that?
Taehyung
As long as it’s with you… yes.
Jungkook
You always say things so easily.
Taehyung
It’s not easy.
It’s just honest.
Jungkook
…then be honest with me one more time.
Stay
Taehyung
I don’t like you.
I think I’m already past that.
Jungkook
What does that even mean?
Taehyung
It means I miss you even when you’re right next to me.
It means I wait for your messages even when I know you’re busy.
It means… it’s more than just liking.
Jungkook
Stay on call with me.
Taehyung
That’s your answer?
Jungkook
Yeah.
Because if I hang up… I’ll pretend this didn’t happen.
Jungkook
Then I’ll accept it.
Jungkook
That I don’t want distance anymore.
Not from you.
Jungkook
So stay.
Just like this.
Jungkook
…goodnight, hyung.
Taehyung
Goodnight, Kook. 💜
Dim dorm lights. A phone screen glowing in the dark. Outside, the city sleeps—but one window stays awake. Three typing dots appear… disappear… then appear again.
Taehyung and Jungkook find themselves caught between what they are and what they could be. In a world where closeness is constant, distance becomes the loudest confession.
" Still Online "
Taehyung
Why are you texting me when you’re literally in the next room?
Jungkook
Because if I walk in, the others will notice.
Taehyung
You’re overthinking.
Jungkook
Am I?
Yesterday you kept staring at me during practice.
Jungkook
Everyone noticed.
Jungkook
Namjoon hyung asked me if something was going on.
Taehyung
What did you say?
Jungkook
I said no.
But I don’t think he believed me.
Jungkook
Exactly.
So we need to be careful.
Taehyung
Careful… sounds boring.
Jungkook
Hyung, I’m serious.
Taehyung
I know.
I’ll behave.
Taehyung
But you started it.
Taehyung
Smiling at me like that.
Taehyung
The one that makes me forget everything.
Taehyung
See? You’re doing it again.
Jungkook
We are literally texting.
Jungkook
Hyung you are very naughty.
Taehyung
I learned it from you.
Jungkook
When I say such things.
Taehyung
I notice everything about you.
