kim taehyung
*Sleeping peacefully*
The first thing Tae heard that morning was someone banging on his dorm room door
someone
Tae If you don't open this door in the next ten seconds, I'm leaving without you
kim taehyung
*groaned and buried his face deeper into his pillow*
The door suddenly swung open
stood there with his backpack hanging from one shoulder and a coffee cup in each hand
Jeon jungkook
You forgot to lock the door again?
Tae sat up with messy hair and sleepy eyes
kim taehyung
You could've just texted
kim taehyung
*checked his phone*
Twenty three missed messages
Jeon jungkook
Get ready we're already late *rolled his eyes*
Jeon jungkook
Obviously If you're late I'm late
A smile appeared on taehyung face before he could stop it
That was jungkook
Always complaining
Always staying
Twenty minutes later, they were rushing across campus together
The university was already crowded with students, some were heading to lectures while others gathered around the courtyard chatting and laughing
Jeon jungkook
*suddenly grabbed taehyung arm*
The professor entered the classroom just seconds after they slipped through the door
Before taehyung could protest, jungkook dragged him across the lawn
The professor entered the classroom just seconds after they slipped through the door
They collapsed into their seats, trying not to laugh
Jeon jungkook
Made it *wishper*
Jeon jungkook
Still counts
The lecture continued but taehyung found himself glancing sideways
Jeon jungkook
*was scribbling random doodles instead of taking notes*
Jeon jungkook
*His dark hair fell into his eyes*
kim taehyung
*A small smile rested on his lips*
The sight felt strangely comforting it always did
For as long as Tae could remember, Kook had been part of every important memory
Their first day of college
Their first failed group project
Countless all-night study sessions
Every success ,Every disaster,
Every moment
Jeon jungkook
Why are you staring at me? *suddenly whispered*
kim taehyung
I wasn't *immediately looked away*
Jeon jungkook
You totally were
kim taehyung
I was looking at the board
Jeon jungkook
The board is in front of us
Kook grinned victoriously
kim taehyung
* kicked his chair*
Jeon jungkook
*nearly laughed out loud*
The professor shot them a warning look
Both instantly sat up straight
Five minutes later, they were laughing again
Some things never changed
By lunchtime, they were sitting under their favorite tree near the sports field
Jeon jungkook
*eating fries*
kim taehyung
*trying to finish an assignment*
Jeon jungkook
Stop stealing my fries
kim taehyung
I'm not stealing
Jeon jungkook
You literally have one in your hand
kim taehyung
Oh *tae looked down*
Jeon jungkook
Can't believe this betrayal *shook his head dramatically*
kim taehyung
You've survived worse
Jeon jungkook
Not from my best friend
The words were casual, simple
Yet they somehow made Tae chest tighten
Not because he disliked hearing them
Because he liked hearing them too much
He quickly pushed the thought away
And both start doing their things

The next morning,Taehyung arrived at campus carrying a worn backpack and a coffee he had made himself before leaving home
Unlike most students living in dorms, Taehyung rented a small apartment near the university to save money
It wasn't fancy, but it was enough
As he walked through the main gate, a black luxury car pulled up
The car door opened and Kook stepped out wearing sunglasses
Jeon jungkook
Why are you staring at me like that?
kim taehyung
Because you're dramatic
Jeon jungkook
This isn't my fault
kim taehyung
You arrived in a car worth more than my apartment
Jeon jungkook
Want a ride tomorrow?
kim taehyung
Because I enjoy looking poor on my own
For Jungkook , money had never been important, he had grown up surrounded by wealth, but he never acted superior
That was one of the reasons Taehyung like him
jungkook treated everyone the same,
especially taehyung
The two walked toward class together
Jeon jungkook
Did you eat breakfast *suddenly stopped and ask*
kim taehyung
*immediately looked away*
Jeon jungkook
Tae *narrowed his eyes*
Jeon jungkook
Did you eat?
Jeon jungkook
That's not an answer
Jeon jungkook
Come here*sighed dramatically and said*
jungkook pulled a sandwich from his bag and handed it over
kim taehyung
I'm not a child
Jeon jungkook
Then stop acting like one
Tae stared at the sandwich,kook always noticed
Every time Tae skipped a meal
Every time he looked tired
Every time something was wrong
It was annoying, and somehow comforting
kim taehyung
Thank you *take the sandwich*
Jeon jungkook
You're welcome
For a moment tae found himself staring again
His heart did something strange
Before he could think about it, a group of girls approached them
???
Jungkook are you coming to the party Friday?
Jeon jungkook
Maybe *coldly*
Another girl looked at him shyly
???
Everyone wants you there
taehyung quietly stepped back he knew this routine
People were always drawn to jungkook
his looks, his confidence,his popularity ,everything
Meanwhile taehyung blended into the background
sometimes he preferred it that way,sometimes he didn't
The girls eventually left
Jeon jungkook
That was exhausting
kim taehyung
Poor rich popular boy
kim taehyung
*rolled his eyes*
Jeon jungkook
*suddenly threw an arm around his shoulders*
Jeon jungkook
Atleast I still have you
Jeon jungkook
*didn't notice*
Jeon jungkook
Imagine if you abandoned me too
kim taehyung
Not happening
Jeon jungkook
Good *chuckle*
The words were simple but they stayed with taehyung for the rest of the day
Because jungkook said them so naturally like taehyung would always be there like nothing would ever change
taehyung wished he could believe that but lately every time he looked at jungkook his feelings seemed to grow stronger

The next few days passed normally or at least, normally for tae which meant trying very hard not to overthink every little thing jk did
Unfortunately,jk made that impossible
After their morning lecture
tae was organizing his notes when a cold can of soda suddenly appeared in front of him
Jungkook was standing there with a lazy grin
Jeon jungkook
You looked tired
kim taehyung
so you bought me a drink?
Jeon jungkook
Maybe *shrugged*
Sometimes Jungkook remembered the smallest things
It made tae heart feel warm in a way he didn't like thinking about
Later that afternoon, they were walking across campus together
jungkook was talking about a professor he disliked while tae listened
As they reached a crowded staircase, jk casually grabbed Tae's wrist and pulled him closer to avoid bumping into other students
kim taehyung
*smile his heartbeat sped up immediately*
The touch lasted only a few seconds
For tae, it meant everything
Jeon jungkook
And then he gave us another assignment *completely unaware continued talking*
Tae wasn't listening anymore
kim taehyung
* was too busy staring at the hand that had just let go of him*
That evening they sat in the library studying
jk was pretending to study
jk was pretending to study
Jeon jungkook
I'm tired *sighed dramatically and dropped his head onto tae shoulder*
tae nearly dropped his pen
kim taehyung
*His entire body froze*
Jeon jungkook
Wake me up in ten minutes
Tae stared at the textbook without reading a single word
his face felt warm jk head resting on his shoulder
Few minutes later he glanced sideways jk had actually fallen asleep
kim taehyung
*couldn't stop the fond smile that appeared on his face*
to Jungkook this is friendship nothing more
The thought made the smile slowly disappear
When they finally left the library
the sky was already dark
They walked toward the campus gate together
jk stretched his arms above his head
Jeon jungkook
Thanks for studying with me
kim taehyung
You slept for half of it*chuckle*
Jeon jungkook
Support is support
kim taehyung
*shook his head*
Jeon jungkook
*suddenly smiled at him
bunny teeth smile*
Jeon jungkook
see you tomorrow tae
kim taehyung
Yeah...tomorrow *felt his chest tighten again*
As he watched jk walk away one question kept repeating in his mind
was jungkook naturally this affectionate with everyone or was taehyung is the only one?
author
but main question is did he even want to know the answer?
