The door unlocked and a teenage boy stormed in loudly, his raven locks bouncing around freely.

"Son, you're home! How was schoo-- Jungkook what happened to you?!"

A loud sob racked through the hallways.

"M-Mom," he cried, his mom immediately standing by his side and hugging him tightly.

"Baby, what happened to you? Why are you crying?"

"M-Mom...," he cried again, Mrs. Jeon doing nothing but stroking his back in order to encourage him to keep going.

"...I love Taehyung."

"I love him too sweetie, what about--"

He cut her off loudly.

"No, you don't understand! I love him! I'm in love with him!," he continued, his tears still flowing.

Mrs. Jeon's jaw dropped.

Still proceeding to stroke his back, she gestured him towards the sofa even though she was shocked to death.

"W-Wait wha-- how-- okay, I'm officially speechless. How about we sit down and you tell me everything?"

Trying to calm down, he nodded and let himself fall onto the sofa.

"I-I don't know where to start. I think it started when he came out t-to me, I started thinking about it and I imagined being in a relationship with a b-boy and somehow, it worked. I-I think I'm bisexual and that was how I realized."

His mother gasped.

"Honestly, I didn't expect this. But Jungkook, this is great news! You should've told me sooner, I can't believe you had to keep it a secret for so long. I would've supported you instantly." She ruffled her son's hair, the latter slowly calming down.

"But that's not the p-point, mom. I somehow started seeing Taehyung from a different perspective since I knew about him and s-somehow, I fell in love with h-him." She smiled.

"But why are you so upset about that? Love is natural, Taehyung's a great boy and you liking him isn't as bizarre as you think. Tell him as soon as his parents change their minds about your friendship!"

And the ravenette started crying again.

"N-No, mom. I fucked up, I'm so stupid. So f-fucking stupid. He h-hates me forever now." She frowned, burying his head in her chest as he continued drowning in his misery.

"I don't understand. What could you have possibly done that made him hate you?" Jungkook sniffled.

"T-There's this girl I've been friends with for a while. There were many girls, a-actually. I wasn't comfortable with liking Taehyung b-because of our seperation and because I was just his best friend. I wasn't comfortable with liking boys, either. A-And then, I started playing with girls' feelings and kissed them and stuff, because I w-wanted to forget. Taehyung saw me with that one girl, I was being an asshole to h-her afterwards so he got mad."

She sighed.

"Oh Jungkookie, my poor baby. That wasn't a gentleman move but he will probably forgive you as soon as he realizes that you regret it wholeheartedly. Maybe apologize to the girl first, or was it the girls?"

He sniffled again.

"Y-Yeah, of course. I was planning to do all of that b-but there's more."

Nodding again, Mrs. Jeon encouraged him to go further.

"W-When he confronted me, I panicked and said that he wouldn't understand because h-he was gay. And then, he got really mad. Umm... so..." He tried to find the right words.

"K-Kind of a complicated story actually. He's friends with a g-guy named Jimin and that guy has... a cousin. And that cousin seems to like him, a l-lot. He and Taehyung are kind of friends but Taehyung's too dense to see that that guy obviously has the hots for him!," Jungkook then declared, his tears not falling anymore.

"Woah there, mister. I see this is not an everyday subtle crush, your jealousy shows it. You never say anything like that to him ever again. It can be hurtful and you know it's not true. But okay, carry on," she tried to lift his mood, making her son exhale shakily to tell her more.

"I think he asked him out sometime before, because after Taehyung got mad at me..." He took a deep breath.

"He just called for him and-- kissed him. In front of me. And it hurt. So much," he uttered, emotionless.

"And even worse, he flirted with him and told him he would go out with him. That was so painful to see, as if someone had a nail and a screwdriver and randomly decided to screw the nail into my heart painfully and slowly. So that I would be in even more pain," he whined.

"Oh Jungkookie, I'm so sorry. We can make this right, I'm sure we can. Do you know if he likes him back?"

The boy scoffed, defeated.

"He kissed him and said he would go out with him, I think the answer's pretty clear, mom." She seemed to be thinking for a while and then patted his head in a soothing manner.

"Whatever. I want you to make things right with Taehyung, he's important to me too. Then you can at least be his friend again. And you know what? I might have some ideas."

For the first time, Jungkook smiled.

"Thanks, mom. You're the best."

°○●○●○°

A ringtone beeped loudly.

The boy picked up.

"Hey, Jimin. What's up?"

"What do you mean, 'what's up'? Don't you have something to tell me?"

The boy furrowed his eyrbrows.

"Umm... I don't know. What do you mean exactly?"

"Oh my god, Taehyung! You finally agreed to go out with my cousin and you didn't tell me? Betrayal at its finest!"

The blonde took a relieved breath.

"Ohh, that. Yes, I wanted to tell you. Sorry Jiminie," he laughed nervously.

"It's okay, you lil idiot. Just make sure you guys have fun. And don't forget to use protection!"

Taehyung gasped, almost falling off his bed in shock.

"Jimin, no! We're teenagers!," he whisper-shouted, repositioning himself on his bed.

"Yes, that's exactly the point. Teenagers have sex, it's normal! But I can see that you're a shy virgin, it's okay, Taehyung. I was joking, sorry if you felt uncomfortable," he could hear Jimin chirping from the other end.

Wondering how he could be so casual about this, Taehyung smiled nervously.

"Yeah, it's fine." The redhead hummed audibly.

"Soo, are you excited?"

The younger stayed silent for a while, thinking about it.

He was ashamed to say that truly, he felt nothing but emptiness inside. No sadness, no happiness, no nervousness, just pure emptiness. As if someone just randomly took all of his emotions away.

Instead of telling his redhead friend, he just let out a high-pitched fake giggle.

"Yes, of course. How could I not?"

Jimin giggled aswell.

"Ah yes, it's your first date. I remember when me and my girl had my first date, we were so awkward and shy because we've known each other for so long but never confessed our feelings for one another... Anyways it'll be fun for you, I wish you guys the best. My mom's calling me, I gotta go," he rambled excitedly, Taehyung just nodding his head occasionally even though he knew the other wouldn't see.

"Bye, Jimin," he said before the redhead hung up.

Feeling like an empty shell without any sort of sense, he curled himself to a ball in his bed and sighed loudly.

He wondered why Mark didn't tell Jimin about the kiss.

Maybe he wanted to respect my privacy...

Maybe the date will be really great and I'm just being a pessimist, the blonde thought to himself.

He still couldn't believe he gave Mark his first kiss. His first kiss that he gave away out of pure anger and the desire of revenge towards Jungkook.

Nothing he could do about it, huh?

Lost in thoughts, he felt himself get sleepy and closed his eyes, feeling himself drift into the mysterious world of sleep.
