“You’re taking this too seriously.” Jungkook’s thumb moves once against Taehyung’s hand. “You’re the one who hasn’t let go.” Taehyung looks at him. “That’s for the bet.” Jungkook smiles. “Sure.” — Taehyung and Jungkook hate each other. At least that is the story they keep telling everyone, usually while standing too close, arguing too loudly and looking at each other for long enough that their friends have started losing patience. So the solution is obvious, apparently. Seven days of fake dating, acting like a couple in front of everyone to prove there is nothing there. Taehyung agrees because backing down would be worse than sharing a bed with Jeon Jungkook. Except Jungkook is good at pretending. He holds Taehyung’s hand like it belongs there, calls him baby like he knows exactly what it does to him and turns every fake touch into something Taehyung has to survive with his dignity intact. It's only supposed to last a week but seven days is a long time when the lie starts feeling easier than the hate. — or: Taehyung enters a fake relationship out of spite and discovers, tragically, that Jungkook makes a very convincing boyfriend.
