Jeon 'Jungkook

Their shared apartment had become too cramped for two people who had gotten to know each other completely. Taehyung knew where Jungkook would put his mug, and Jungkook could tell Taehyung's mood by his steps even before he entered the room. Predictability killed their interest. A pause seemed the only solution—they left without argument, calmly and coolly.

At first, there were dry meetings once a month, where they sat across from each other like casual acquaintances. Then, only the occasional text message. The flame didn't ignite. Gradually, they simply ceased to exist in each other's lives. Taehyung was building a new one, and Jungkook continued to play the role of a reserved and successful man, hiding a growing emptiness behind a mask of calm.

The silence of another night was broken by a call. Taehyung stared at the glowing screen for a long moment before answering. On the other end of the line, he could hear heavy breathing and the clink of ice against a glass. Jungkook, always so collected, lost his temper. His impulsiveness overcame reason. He sat in the darkness of his apartment, suffocated by the realization that the freedom they had sought had turned out to be nothing but loneliness.

"Tae, I tried to be nice and calm, but I'm just suffocating here without you. I'm sorry, I'm a complete idiot, please just come home. I can't pretend I don't care anymore."
