### My Cute Enemy

---

**Tae**: Why do I always run into you, Jeon Jungkook?

**Jungkook**: Maybe because you secretly like me, Kim Taehyung. 😉

**Tae**: As if! You're more like an annoying fly I can't seem to swat away.

**Jungkook**: Ouch, Tae. That hurts. I'm wounded. 😢

*Tae rolls his eyes, trying to hide the small smile tugging at his lips. Despite the banter, there's an undeniable spark whenever they clash. Jungkook's playful grin and twinkling eyes always seem to disarm him.*

**Tae**: Well, maybe you should try being less... you.

**Jungkook**: And what would that entail, Mr. Kim?

**Tae**: Less smug, less irritating... and definitely less handsome.

*The words slip out before Tae can stop them, and he feels a flush creeping up his neck. Jungkook's grin widens, clearly enjoying Tae's discomfort.*

**Jungkook**: You think I'm handsome? I knew it! 😏

**Tae**: I didn't say that! I meant—ugh, never mind. Why am I even talking to you?

*Inside, Tae's heart is pounding. He hates how easily Jungkook can fluster him. It's infuriating. But there's also a part of him that loves their playful exchanges, the way Jungkook looks at him with those dark, intense eyes.*

**Jungkook**: Because you can't resist my charm. Admit it, Tae. You're falling for me.

**Tae**: In your dreams, Jungkook.

**Jungkook**: Oh, Tae, you have no idea how often you're in my dreams. 😉

*Tae's cheeks burn even more. He doesn't know how to respond to that without giving away how much Jungkook actually affects him. Instead, he huffs and turns away, trying to regain his composure.*

**Tae**: Whatever. I have better things to do than argue with you.

**Jungkook**: Sure you do. Like thinking about me?

**Tae**: Ugh, you're impossible!

*As Tae walks away, Jungkook watches him, his grin fading into a softer, more genuine smile. He loves teasing Tae, but he also loves the moments when he catches a glimpse of the real Tae, the one who hides behind all the bluster.*

*Jungkook thinks about how cute Tae looks when he's flustered, how his eyes flash with fire whenever they argue. It's a sight that Jungkook finds himself craving more and more. He knows there's something special about their dynamic, something that goes beyond mere teasing.*

**Jungkook**: (to himself) One day, Tae. One day you'll see how much I care about you.

*Meanwhile, Tae is trying to calm his racing heart. He hates that Jungkook can get under his skin so easily. But deep down, he knows there's more to his feelings. There's something about Jungkook that draws him in, even if he doesn't want to admit it.*

*That night, as Tae lies in bed, he finds himself thinking about their interactions. Despite the annoyance, there's a warmth in his chest that he can't deny. He wonders if maybe, just maybe, there's something more to their relationship.*

**Tae**: (whispering to himself) Maybe he's not so bad after all.

*The next day, Tae tries to avoid Jungkook, but of course, fate has other plans. They bump into each other at the campus coffee shop, both reaching for the same cup.*

**Jungkook**: Fancy meeting you here.

**Tae**: Don't start, Jungkook. I just want my coffee.

**Jungkook**: How about I buy it for you? As a peace offering.

*Tae eyes him suspiciously but can't help but feel a flutter of hope. Maybe Jungkook isn't just teasing him for once.*

**Tae**: Fine. But this doesn't mean I like you.

**Jungkook**: Of course not. It's just coffee... for now.

*As they sit down together, the usual banter gives way to a more genuine conversation. They talk about their classes, their friends, their dreams. Tae finds himself laughing at Jungkook's jokes and sharing stories he wouldn't normally tell anyone.*

*Jungkook listens intently, his eyes never leaving Tae's face. He loves seeing this side of Tae, the one that's open and vulnerable. It's a side he wants to see more often.*

**Jungkook**: You know, Tae, you're not so bad when you're not being all prickly.

**Tae**: And you're not so bad when you're not being a smug jerk.

*They both laugh, the tension between them easing into something more comfortable. For the first time, Tae starts to see Jungkook as more than just an annoying presence in his life. He starts to see him as someone he could maybe, possibly, fall for.*

*And as they continue to talk, Jungkook feels the same. He knows there's something special about Tae, something worth pursuing. He just hopes Tae will let his guard down long enough to see it too.*

**Jungkook**: So, Tae... how about a real date next time?

**Tae**: (smiling) We'll see, Jungkook. We'll see.

Next day

( for date )

**Tae**: Seriously, Jungkook? You couldn't wait five minutes for me?

**Jungkook**: Hey, you were the one who said to meet at noon, and it's now 12:05. Punctuality is important, you know.

**Tae**: Five minutes isn't going to kill you. And besides, it's not like you had anything better to do.

**Jungkook**: Actually, I had plenty of better things to do. Like thinking about you.

**Tae**: Oh, please. You expect me to believe that?

**Jungkook**: Believe what you want. But it's true.

*Tae crosses his arms, trying to look annoyed, but he can't help the small smile that creeps onto his face. Jungkook always has a way of saying things that catch him off guard.*

**Tae**: Fine. But next time, wait for me.

**Jungkook**: Deal. But only if you promise to be on time.

**Tae**: I'll try. No guarantees.

*Jungkook chuckles, ruffling Tae's hair affectionately. Tae swats his hand away, but there's no real annoyance behind the gesture.*

**Jungkook**: You know, you look really cute when you're flustered.

**Tae**: Stop it. I'm not cute.

**Jungkook**: Oh, but you are. And it's one of the many reasons I like you.

*Tae's heart skips a beat. He knows Jungkook is teasing, but there's a sincerity in his eyes that makes Tae's chest tighten. He hates how easily Jungkook can affect him, but he also loves it.*

**Tae**: You... you're impossible.

**Jungkook**: And you love it.

**Tae**: Maybe. Just a little.

*Jungkook grins, wrapping an arm around Tae's shoulders and pulling him close. Tae doesn't resist, leaning into the warmth of Jungkook's embrace. Despite the bickering, there's a comfort in being close to him.*

**Jungkook**: So, what do you want to do today?

**Tae**: How about we go to that new arcade? I've been wanting to check it out.

**Jungkook**: Sounds like a plan. But be warned, I'm a pro at arcade games.

**Tae**: Oh, really? We'll see about that.

*As they head to the arcade, the playful banter continues, each teasing comment laced with affection. The bright lights and sounds of the arcade create a fun and energetic atmosphere, perfect for their competitive spirits.*

**Jungkook**: Let's start with this one. Think you can beat me at air hockey?

**Tae**: You're on. Prepare to lose, Jeon Jungkook.

*The game begins, and they both quickly get into it, their competitive sides shining through. Jungkook's focus is intense, while Tae's determination is fierce. Every goal is met with cheers or groans, the friendly rivalry adding to the excitement.*

**Jungkook**: (after winning) Told you I'm a pro.

**Tae**: Beginner's luck. I'll beat you at the next game.

**Jungkook**: Bring it on, Tae. I'm ready for anything.

*They move on to different games, each trying to outdo the other. Laughter and playful taunts fill the air as they compete, but there's no real malice. It's all in good fun, and they both love every second of it.*

*At the basketball hoop game, Tae surprises Jungkook by scoring more points. Jungkook watches in amazement as Tae effortlessly sinks basket after basket.*

**Jungkook**: Wow, Tae. You're really good at this.

**Tae**: Told you I'd beat you. Looks like you're not the only pro here.

**Jungkook**: Guess I'll have to step up my game.

*They continue playing, their competitive spirits driving them to keep challenging each other. But amid the rivalry, there's a growing sense of camaraderie and affection. Every laugh, every playful push brings them closer together.*

*After a particularly intense game, they collapse onto a nearby bench, breathless and laughing.*

**Jungkook**: Okay, okay. You win this round.

**Tae**: Damn right I do. But you're not so bad yourself.

*Jungkook looks at Tae, his eyes softening with affection. He reaches out, gently tucking a stray strand of hair behind Tae's ear.*

**Jungkook**: You know, I really enjoy spending time with you.

*Tae's heart skips a beat at the tender gesture. He feels a warmth spreading through him, and he knows that despite all the teasing and banter, there's something real between them.*

**Tae**: Me too, Jungkook. Me too.

*As they sit there, catching their breath, Tae realizes that he's not just playing games with Jungkook. He's falling for him, bit by bit, and he's okay with that.*

---

*Later, as they leave the arcade, Tae can't help but smile. Despite their bickering, despite the teasing, he knows that Jungkook cares about him. And he cares about Jungkook too.*

**Jungkook**: So, same time next week?

**Tae**: Sure. But next time, I'll definitely win.

**Jungkook**: We'll see about that, Tae. We'll see.

*They walk away, side by side, their shoulders brushing. And for the first time, Tae feels like maybe, just maybe, his cute enemy is becoming something more.*

---

*That night, Tae lies in bed, thinking about the day. He can't help but smile as he remembers their playful fights, Jungkook's teasing words, and the warmth of his touch. There's a part of him that can't wait to see Jungkook again, to feel that spark, that connection.*

**Tae**: (whispering to himself) Maybe this isn't so bad after all.

*And with that thought, Tae drifts off to sleep, dreaming of a future filled with more laughter, more teasing, and a lot more love.*

---

**Jungkook**: (texting Tae) Goodnight, Tae. Sweet dreams. 😊

**Tae**: (texting back) Goodnight, Jungkook. See you tomorrow. 😊

*And as they both fall asleep, they dream of each other, their hearts filled with the promise of something beautiful.*
