Campus Bet: Dangerous Desires! (Taekook)
Episode 01
The lights in the cramped dorm room flickered slightly as the tension thickened.
Cards shuffled, laughter echoed, and a group of guys leaned forward over the table, their eyes locked on their hands.
The stakes had been set, and the air was filled with the intoxicating thrill of competition.
Jungkook, ever confident, leaned back in his chair, his dark eyes glinting with smugness.
Jeon Jungkook
You sure about this, Taehyung?
Jeon Jungkook
Your poker face isn’t as convincing as you think.
Taehyung tilted his head, a slow, lazy smile curling on his lips. His sharp features looked almost devious under the yellow light.
Kim Taehyung
Oh, I’m very sure, Jungkook. Are you sure you’re not about to regret this?
Jeon Jungkook
Regret? Please. (Jungkook smirked, tossing a card into the center)
Jeon Jungkook
I don’t lose.
The table erupted in murmurs of approval, but Hoseok, sitting next to Taehyung, chuckled.
Jung Hoseok
Better not get cocky, Jungkook. Tae’s on fire tonight.
Jeon Jungkook
Fire my @ss! (Jungkook retorted)
Kim Taehyung
Well, your @$$ is really beautiful being on fire.. (smirked teasing him)
Jeon Jungkook
You’re all just hyping him up because you know I’ll win. (Just ignore them)
Namjoon, the ever-calculating strategist of the group, raised a brow.
Kim Namjoon
If you’re that confident, why don’t we raise the stakes?
Jungkook’s brow furrowed, but the excitement in his chest surged.
Jeon Jungkook
What do you mean?
Taehyung’s smirk deepened, his fingers lightly tapping the edge of his cards.
Kim Taehyung
Simple. Whoever loses does what the winner says. No backing out.
The room collectively leaned back, the challenge electrifying the atmosphere.
Jeon Jungkook
Fine!! (Jungkook said confidently)
Jeon Jungkook
What’s your move, Tae?
Kim Taehyung
Confess to Lisa! (Taehyung said smoothly, his tone nonchalant but his eyes glinting with mischief)
The entire table erupted in hoots and gasps. Jungkook froze, a flicker of surprise breaking through his confidence.
Jeon Jungkook
What the hell, Taehyung?
Kim Taehyung
You said you don’t lose, right? (Taehyung drawled, twirling a card between his fingers)
Kim Taehyung
So what’s the problem? Or are you chickening out?
Jeon Jungkook
Chicken? Me? (Jungkook laughed dryly, though the tips of his ears burned. He glanced at the others)
Jeon Jungkook
You’re all hearing this, right? He’s insane.
Yoongi, who had been silently observing the game, shrugged.
Min Yoongi
Sounds fair to me. You agreed to the bet.
Jung Hoseok
And Lisa is campus queen. You’d practically be doing her a favor.
Jeon Jungkook
Shut up!! (Jungkook snapped, narrowing his eyes)
Jeon Jungkook
Fine. Deal me in.

Episode 02
The final round was brutal.
Jungkook’s confidence began to waver as the cards dwindled, his hand weaker than he’d anticipated.
Across from him, Taehyung maintained his enigmatic smirk, as though he already knew the outcome.
Jeon Jungkook
Three of a kind. (Jungkook said, laying his cards down with forced confidence. He leaned back, arms crossed, waiting for Taehyung to fold)
But Taehyung didn’t blink. With deliberate slowness, he laid his cards down.
Kim Taehyung
Straight flush.
The room erupted into chaos Hoseok doubled over laughing, Namjoon slapped the table, and Yoongi gave a rare smirk.
Jung Hoseok
Holy shit! (Hoseok cackled)
Jung Hoseok
Tae, you genius!
Jungkook stared at the cards in disbelief.
Kim Taehyung
Oh, there’s a way. (Taehyung said, his voice practically purring. He leaned forward, his chin resting on his hand as he met Jungkook’s stunned gaze)
Kim Taehyung
A bet’s a bet, Jungkookie. Tomorrow, during the lunch rush, you’ll confess to Lisa in front of everyone.
Jeon Jungkook
You’re kidding me. (Jungkook growled, his voice low and dangerous)
Kim Taehyung
Do I look like I’m kidding? (Taehyung asked innocently, though the twinkle in his eyes betrayed his amusement)
Namjoon clapped Jungkook on the shoulder.
Kim Namjoon
Better start practicing your speech, man. Lisa’s a tough one to impress.
Jeon Jungkook
Shut up. (Jungkook muttered, glaring at Taehyung)
Jeon Jungkook
You’re such an @sshole. 💢
Taehyung chuckled, standing up and stretching lazily.
Kim Taehyung
I’m just a man of my word. You said you don’t lose, and yet… here we are. 😏
Jungkook gritted his teeth as Taehyung walked away, leaving him to stew in the aftermath of his defeat.

Episode 03
The next day, the cafeteria buzzed with energy as students filled the space, their voices mingling in a cacophony of chatter.
Jungkook stood near the entrance, his fists clenched and his jaw tight.
Kim Namjoon
Relax! (Namjoon said, standing next to him)
Kim Namjoon
The sooner you do it, the sooner it’s over.
Jeon Jungkook
Easy for you to say. (Jungkook muttered)
Jeon Jungkook
You’re not the one humiliating yourself.
Across the room, Taehyung sat at a table with Hoseok and Yoongi, his arms crossed and his lips curled into a triumphant smile. He caught Jungkook’s eye and gave him a subtle wave, mouthing.
Jeon Jungkook
Smug b@stard!! 💢 (Jungkook growled under his breath)
Taking a deep breath, Jungkook strode into the center of the cafeteria. He spotted Lisa sitting with Jennie and Rosé, her perfect smile lighting up the room.
His stomach churned, but he pushed forward, determined not to give Taehyung the satisfaction of seeing him falter.
The room quieted as Jungkook approached Lisa, the sound of his footsteps echoing in the suddenly still air.
Jeon Jungkook
Lisa!! (Jungkook said, his voice steady despite the pounding in his chest)
She looked up, surprised.
He cleared his throat, glancing briefly at Taehyung, who watched intently from his seat.
Jeon Jungkook
I… I like you. Will you go out with me?
A collective gasp swept through the cafeteria. Lisa blinked, her expression unreadable for a moment before she laughed softly.
Lisa Manoban
Jungkook, you’re sweet. (she said, her voice carrying a note of amusement)
The crowd erupted into whispers, and Jungkook felt his face burn with embarrassment. He turned, his gaze locking with Taehyung’s.
Taehyung raised his drink in a mock toast, his smirk widening.
As Jungkook left alone at his place in the cafeteria, seething with humiliation, one thought dominated his mind: I’m going to get you back for this, Kim Taehyung.
