Jungkook.

Taehyung had been in a stable, healthy relationship for four years now. It was built on mutual respect and peace. His boyfriend, Rino, was the embodiment of reliability—caring, attentive, and sincere. Everything was exactly as Taehyung had once dreamed.

Until he showed up.

Jungkook had appeared in his life by chance, during a vacation with Rhino. Taehyung had taken the new acquaintance as a pleasant opportunity to make a friend. Jungkook, however, had behaved differently from the very first glance. His attention was not friendly. And if at first Taehyung had brushed him off with mild bewilderment and internal protest, he gradually began to give in to him in small ways. In gifts that fulfilled his unspoken desires. In trips to places he'd only mentioned once in passing. In care that read his needs without words. Jungkook seemed to see the cracks in his soul that Taehyung himself had long since hidden under a layer of "healthy" well-being. And in response, something strange, long-forgotten, ignited in Taehyung's chest. A light, fluttering feeling, reminiscent of butterflies from his distant childhood.

Now they were at the edge of a cliff. Taehyung sat on a rock, his legs dangling into the void, looking at the sky, where the first stars were lit one by one. Jungkook was behind him, leaning against the hood of the car, simply watching, finishing his cigarette. How he knew Taehyung had always dreamed of being here, the boy no longer asked. In Jungkook's world, the impossible simply became fact.

• Taehyung.

His name, spoken in a low baritone, rang softly in the silence. Taehyung hummed questioningly without turning around. And at that moment, he felt a touch. A warm palm rested on his shoulder, through the thin fabric of his T-shirt. A simple, friendly touch.

But his body responded in a far from friendly way. A horde of goosebumps ran across his skin, and that youthful, uncontrollable thrill raged within, making his heart pound wildly in his chest.

"Do you like it?" Jungkook asked. His voice was quiet, but it sounded so close, as if he was leaning close to my ear.
