Taehyung's and Jungkook's first fight happened three days before their long-awaited reunion. A truly inconvenient time.

The two boys were amidst a sweet, quite impeachable video call, talking about how their day went and other extremely trivial things. How sunny it was, how many hours they had slept, what flavour their breakfast smoothie had, the usual. They kept blowing kisses at their screens and showed cute finger hearts and did silly yet adorable and playful gestures while giggling uncontrollably. Everything was just like always.

Until that happened.

"That's nice to hear, baby. Are your college professors still giving you a hard t-- What are you doing in my room? Not now, please. I'm calling someone right now."

Taehyung furrowed his eyebrows at his boyfriend's words, his voice changed into a displeased, rushed, and somehow even panicked-sounding one all of a sudden.

Was he talking to his dormmate? But Jungkook and his dormmate Eunwoo were on amazing terms, there's no way he would talk to him in that manner... Did they have a fight? Was there something he didn't know about, perhaps? Should he be concerned?

"Uh, Jungkook? Are you still there? Is someone with you?," he asked, feeling slightly suspicious. The ravenette seemed to move his laptop around and to attempt covering up his camera with a textbook, letting out a nervous laugh. "N-No, everything's fine. Eunwoo just got lost, I guess."

Then, all of a sudden, another voice started talking.

"Why do you keep avoiding me, Jungkook? It's been years since we last talked, don't you want to catch up?" It was quiet and the audio quality was debatable, however, it was evidently a girl's voice. The blonde's jaw dropped.

That voice sounded oddly familiar.

"Who's that, Jungkook?," he asked quietly, but firmly. The other let out an exasperated sigh, covering up his webcam with his hand and turning around sharply.

"Will you stop this already? I told you, there's nothing to talk about! Just because you're close to Eunwoo doesn't mean you have to be close to me! Us? That was a long time ago, Bor-- Fuck." Taehyung gasped, not believing his ears.

"Wh-What? Bora?! Lee Bora? She's there... What?!" He could hear a displeased groan from the other boy and was currently staring at a black screen. The younger boy had thrown his jacket over his computer, its camera completely covered up. Quick footsteps leading away from the device could be sensed.

An annoyed and muffled "Listen, not today. I told you I found someone and I have zero interest in you. Zero. Goodbye," could be heard, followed by the harsh slam of a door and shuffling of feet coming closer again until Taehyung saw the familiar outlines of his boyfriend's dorm room and the younger boy wearing a plain white t-shirt, clearly upset.

Silence filled the air for a while.

"Mind explaining to me?," the blonde then asked almost inaudibly. He felt upset, enraged and insecure at the same time, all of these negative emotions driving a painful hole through his stomach. What the hell was going on? Jungkook sighed again, ruffling his own hair in frustration and letting out a deep breath. He opened his mouth but then closed it again.

At some point, he finally decided to talk.

"So...," he spoke quietly and hesitantly. "Um, I'm guessing you remember Bora. My first love or whatever. The one who cheated on--" Taehyung sucked the air in sharply, cutting him off as he couldn't hold his emotions back anymore.

"I know what happened, it's how I fell in love with you! Cut the shit and just tell me what happened. What is she doing there with you?!," the blonde boy snapped impatiently, Jungkook slightly flinching at that.

"Will you calm down? I was just about to!," he then snapped back equally angry. "You may also remember that her hometown's Busan, just like my mom's. One of the reasons I used to love her but that's beside the point. Anyways, she enrolled in my college and has been trying to talk to me ever since she realized I'm here too. The fact that she's Eunwoo's on-off-girlfriend and she visits our dorm every second day doesn't help, either," he then explained, a tad calmer.

"Y-You knew she was there all year and didn't even bother telling me? You don't have feelings for her again, do you?" Jungkook let out a scoff.

"Seriously? I think you know the answer to that already." Taehyung shook his head slowly.

"No, actually. I don't."

Silence fell over them for a while. And then, Jungkook let out another scoff. "Wow, so your faith in me is basically non-existent. You know, you're reminding me of those teen girls from these cringey American teen romances right now. I knew you'd react like that, that's why I didn't tell you."

"React like what? React how any normal person would react when their boyfriend reunites with his first love without telling them? I was there all those hours you spent crying over her, I know how much you loved her. Are you seriously telling me she had no effect on you?," the older exclaimed, feeling utterly frustrated.

"What the hell? I avoided her the whole time! She kept asking me if I wanted to be friends but I kept ignoring her requests because surprise, I am . There was a brief moment where I considered taking her offer for Eunwoo's sake since I don't like it when she just comes to our dorm but I still didn't! Why are you being so insecure, Taehyung? Where's all that trust you always talk about, huh? Do you want to put a leash on me and control my every movement just because of that stupid girl? I was a dumb, fifteen-year old boy who didn't know shit about love and thought she was a sincere person. I thought you understood that," the ravenette spoke almost aggressively at first, but then lowered his volume little by little.

"Don't you think you're being a bit unfair right now? You were basically lying to me this whole semester and now you're getting mad at me for not being trusting enough? You're the one who lied, I have the right to be doubtful! Who was the one kissing Yiren and all these other girls for fun in junior year and who says you won't do it again? How could I not be insecure or at least slightly doubtful?" At that, the younger boy clicked his tongue and glared at his computer screen, clearly ticked off.

"Why do you keep acting like some sort of saint? The only reason I kissed those girls was because I was in love with you but too scared to admit it and you know that! I thought we were past that by now. You on the other hand, though, you kissed Mark in front of my eyes. You didn't even tell me you were being sent to America. If this had turned out differently, you would've left me here without a single explanation, I know it. This isn't easy for me, okay? I've actually spent days, weeks thinking about how to tell you without you misunderstanding and making a fuss but I guess there's no need for that now," Jungkook spoke coolly, Taehyung now being the one to scoff.

"Misunderstanding? Do you realize how hypocritical you're being right now? Complaining about my lack of faith in you but you yourself have zero faith in me! I kissed Mark because you made rude remarks about my sexuality. And that's not true, at some point I would've told you! How could I not? Now can we please drop these stupid talks about the past? This is about right now. How can you not expect me to get suspicious when you don't tell me your first love comes knocking at your door and wants to get back with you again--" He got cut off by an exasperated groan from the other end.

"You're the one that brought that topic up in the first place. And she doesn't want to get back with me, she said she wants to be friends again but I kept declining because I have no interest in her whatsoever! She likes Eunwoo, did you even listen to anything I said? The reason I didn't tell you was because I was searching for the right opportunity but couldn't seem to find it- I was struggling, okay?! I still am. , Taehyung, you got into Seoul University yet somehow, you can't think seem to think rationally or at least try to understand me."

"You know, whenever this place stressed me out to death, I always looked forward to talking to you because you calmed me down and made me actually feel sane! But right now, you're the one stressing me out the most. And you know what? I can't do this right now. Bye." All of a sudden, the screen turned black and the call was terminated and Jungkook's quite annoyed face vanished from his sight making the blonde boy gasp.

With shaky hands, he tried to call him again but let out a frustrated huff when no one picked up. "No, come back! We have to talk about this!," he screeched, pressing the 'call'-button over and over again and letting out a frustrated whine when he didn't pick up, not a single time.

He felt like he couldn't breathe, like he was having a nightmare. At this point, he didn't even care about who was right or who was wrong anymore, he just wanted at least one more minute to talk to Jungkook. But no matter how many times he tried to call him, he obviously never picked up.

He needed time to process this. What had even just happened? Was this the fight that would drive a bump through their relationship forever? Only after few years of dating? Or could they solve this?

All of a sudden, he felt scared. Jungkook was everything he had.

Well, not the only thing, but his main source of happiness. The one person he would sacrifice everything for, even himself. The reason he breathed and kept going, the person constantly occupying his mind and making him feel so loved, that kind of love you would die for.

Had he just ruined everything? All of a sudden, he felt regret. He should've heard the other boy out without complaining and interrupting, he should've simply listened and stayed still! He should've tried to empathise with him and encourage him. But he couldn't help it, he just felt so upset as soon as he heard Lee Bora's name leave the other's mouth. It wasn't a name he'd wished to ever hear again.

All of a sudden, he knew that Jungkook was telling nothing but the truth, there wasn't anyone more loyal than him. How could he have been so stupid to even think for a single second, that he actually had feelings for that girl again? He was better than that! The instinctive, sudden insecurities just got the best of him...

Grabbing his phone with a painfully throbbing heart and the all too familiar liquid welling up his eyes, he desperately spammed the ravenette with shaky fingertips, feeling a tear drop onto the screen every now and then and messing up his typing.

A knock on his door interrupted his sniffling and quiet sobbing, a handsome brunette peeking his head inside.

"Hey Tae, I made some delicious meat for din-- What in the world happened to you?!" Bewildered, Seokjin rushed into the room and gaped at the silently crying boy who was still gripping his phone tightly, wide-eyed.

"Hy-Hyung, I'm sorry but today I don't feel like it. I-I just had this horrible fight with Jungkook and now he hates me! I'm so dumb, why didn't I just l-listen to him?!" The blonde felt someone hugging him, lifting his head to see his dormmate patting his head in a comforting manner.

"Oh no sweetie, it's cute how dramatic you are about this. But c'mon. You think he'll seriously hate you for whatever thing you happened to fight about? Remember my words, you'll make up soon. We have semester holidays this weekend, at least by then you'll be fine. Don't be too harsh on yourself, Taehyung. Just give it some time so both of you can process and think about the things that made you mad at each other in the first place. And stop crying," he spoke quietly, still patting the younger boy's head.

Taehyung just tried to nod without saying anything, feeling a tiny bit better after hearing the older's words but still feeling utterly painful. Wishing nothing more than to be in Jungkook's arms in that moment, he hugged Seokjin back and pulled him closer towards him.

An anxious rumble in his stomach made its unpleasant appearance as he thought of what could happen.

Would they be fine?
