Kim Taehyung

The sun lazily filtered through the loosely drawn curtains of Jungkook's room, painting the dust motes in the air a golden hue. Jungkook himself lay on his bed, staring at the ceiling with a pained expression. His heart pounded against his ribs so hard it felt like it was about to break free. It was all because of Taehyung, his unspoken love, bright and painful, like a sunburn.

Taehyung was always surrounded by a swarm of admirers, like moths around a flame. Each one was beautiful, intelligent, and seemed perfect for him. Jungkook, however, felt dull and insignificant in comparison. He never dared even hint at his feelings, afraid of rejection and ruining their friendship.

The only person Jungkook confided his secret to was his best friend, Jisoo. She always listened to his endless complaints and supported him as best she could. On that fateful day when Taehyung accidentally overheard their conversation, Jungkook told Jisoo about the way Taehyung's eyes sparkled when he laughed, about his infectious optimism, about his talent for finding beauty in simple things.

He didn't know how long Taehyung stood outside the door, listening to his every word. But when Jungkook turned around, he saw Taehyung frozen in the doorway, with an expression he couldn't quite read.

"Tell me the same thing you told your friend, Jungkook." Taehyung frowned. "If you don't chicken out."
