Summary
There’s something bugging Taehyung, like a heavy blot on the corner of his vision. The blot shifts, takes a drink, and Taehyung looks over and realizes with a jolt that it’s Jeon Jungkook. He’s standing there at the end of the swing, looking down, and maybe it’s weird to think of someone as alone at a party like this, but it somehow seems like he is.
“You guys remember Jungkook?” Hoseok asks sweetly. And Taehyung just blinks at him, because that’s like asking if he remembers the moon, or the existence of fireworks, or the Bengal tiger.
“We sure do,” Jimin says, not sweetly. Jungkook nods at them, but he only briefly makes eye contact. Taehyung registers that he looks older, his jawline sharper.
“How’s your summer?” Taehyung asks him uncertainly.
“Fine,” Jungkook says.
~~~
It's summer in the suburbs. Taehyung and Jimin are back in town after graduating, and they run into an old friend.

Summary
“I’m 25,” Jeongguk says readily, sucks another drip of ice cream off of his knuckles.
“Oh. I’m 28.”
It tracks, Jeongguk thinks, slots readily in with everything else he knows about him. “Wow. And your only job prospect is dishwasher?”
The bloom of Taehyung’s smile is slow. “I’m having a terrible time here on my fake honeymoon, by the way. Zero stars.”
“That’s a shame. Wouldn’t recommend it to other fake honeymooners?”
“Definitely not.”
~~~
Taehyung goes on a fake honeymoon!!! Jeongguk is just trying to get some work done.

Summary
When Jungkook was a lot younger, and didn’t know how to wall himself off, or that his body was this inexplicable thing liable to betray him, Hoseok used to joke that Jungkook had a huge crush on Taehyung. He teased Jungkook for his crestfallen looks when Taehyung chose another team, when he wouldn’t come watch Jungkook play video games, when he got the chance to leave practice early and actually did. “Give the poor kid a break,” Yoongi broke in at one point. “He won’t always get one.” Jungkook is older now, much more experienced at self-censorship. Sometimes he even just exists for long stretches of time, doesn’t consciously acknowledge how he’s always, always trying not to think too much about it. And then there are times like today in the recording booth, when he’s weak beneath it again.

Summary
His voice has this odd timbre, dark and a little low, and he’s good-naturedly ribbing Jimin with this bright, rectangular smile, strands of blue hair in his eyes, and suddenly Jungkook feels dizzy. He redirects his gaze to his bag, tries to remember what he was even pretending to search for.
Jungkook really isn’t looking for a crush. First of all because he tends to fall too hard, and he’s trying not to be that way anymore. And second of all because he needs to focus on this new program—to find his bearings, prove that he belongs. He doesn’t need any distractions. So this thing, where this guy he doesn’t know is ruffling Jimin’s hair and making Jungkook feel fluttery—it’s not ideal.
~~~
Grad school AU. Taehyung is a cagey history masters student, and Jungkook is a dance MFA with a big ole crush.
