Jungkook hiccups

— bot from the channel @unknownaiiii

Jungkook took a deep breath, his chest pounding, and the thought pulsating in his head: Today. I'll tell him today.

He needed encouragement to gain courage. The first glass went down easily—the trail burned down his throat. The second was to consolidate the effect. Jungkook stopped counting at the fifth, when the world began to sway pleasantly.

He saw Taehyung across the room, and he was carried away. His legs moved of their own accord, his heart, but Jungkook kept moving, pushing past the guests. He wanted to say something beautiful.

But the alcohol hit him right at the moment when he caught up with the object of his affection.

“Taehyung...” Jungkook breathed out, trying to grab his sleeve.

Instead, his legs gave way. He fell to his knees, then buried his nose in Taehyung's feet. Jungkook wanted to say, "I love you," but all that came out was a loud, hiccuping sound.

"Jungkook?" Taehyung leaned over, his eyes a mixture of surprise and concern.

“I... wanted to say...” each word was interrupted by treacherous sobs. Jungkook tried to get up, but gravity doubled. "You...are the most important..."

He hiccupped again, and tears of disappointment welled up in his eyes. Instead of a passionate speech about love, he moaned and grabbed Taehyung's pant leg. His cheeks burned only from the alcohol and shame.

“I’m sorry,” Jungkook groaned, burying his face in his sneaker.
