sleeping arrangements.

TOMATO RED

taehyung focus
taehyung stomps down the path, heading out of school with rage and embarrassment swirling around in his stomach.
his phone vibrates against his hand and he slides the pad of his thumb against the screen, without realising that jungkook was calling him.

"you left before i could tell you about tonight." taehyung doesn't say anything and instead seethes silently at the male. jungkook continues, "i can't come over tonight."

taehyung's stomach fills with dread.

"my parents are having a dinner party and they want me around to greet family and friends." taehyung tightens his grip on the phone.

will i be okay tonight? of course i will, taehyung tells with himself fiercely.

"will you be okay sleeping without me?"

no.
taehyung pushes the tiny voice in his head to the back of his mind. he clears his throat and speaks into the phone,

"no, it's fine."

"you sure?"

"yes, jungkook."

"cause if you don't want to sleep alone, you can come over to mine."

go to jungkook's house? come to think of it, where does jungkook live? and is his parents okay with him sleeping over everyday? it's been a week already and jungkook has been sleeping over every single day. he hasn't said anything at all about his parents or home.

"but won't you have family over?" taehyung mumbles.

"well, yeah - you'll have to wait a bit in my room."

"no no - it's okay. you should hang out with your family. i can manage for one night - im not gonna die if i sleep by myself." taehyung jokes, cringing at his words. jungkook doesn't say anything for a couple of seconds.

"okay then. but ill message you my address just in-"

"jungkook - im going to be fine." taehyung cuts in.

"alright then. oh wait, taehyung?"

"yeah?"

"how did it feel when i touched your butt? nice huh?" taehyung could almost hear the younger's grin through the speaker. he wanted to reach into the phone and strangle the boy for teasing him again.

"fuck off." taehyung seethes and hangs up before the other could reply. he feels the familiar rush of heat in his cheeks as he slips his phone into his back pocket and continues to walk on ahead.

of course i'll be okay, taehyung tells himself, trying to calm his nerves and his tomato red cheeks.
