Friends for Benefits Friends

It's my first time writing, so it wouldn't be That good, but I hope you will support me

and yeah English is not my first language

Taehyung and Jungkook are walking through the school hallway after class, discussing their plans for the day. As they approach the exit, Jungkook's expression sours

jungkook (JK)

You sure you want me to come over to your place again? he asks, sounding reluctant.

Taehyung tries not to show his disappointment, but it's hard to miss.

taehyung (V)

Yeah, I thought we could study together. Plus, you can finally try my mom's cooking... you always say you want to, he says, feigning nonchalance.

jungkook let's out a sigh.

jungkook (JK)

Yeah, yeah, I know. But I just hate that area, it's always so crowded and dirty. His tone is a mix of resignation and annoyance.

Taehyung can't help but feel a pang of hurt, but he covers it up with a smile.

taehyung (V)

I get it, it's not the nicest area. But I promise it'll be fine. We'll have some peace and quiet to ourselves at my place.

Jungkook shrugs, still not looking enthusiastic about the idea.

jungkook (JK)

Yeah, I guess. But we're not gonna study the whole time, right? I don't want to be stuck at your house the whole night.

Taehyung nods, trying to sound enthusiastic.

taehyung (V)

Of course not. We'll take breaks, watch a movie, do whatever.

He's aware that Jungkook probably has other plans with his rich friends, but he keeps that thought to himself.

Jungkook pats him on the back roughly.

jungkook (JK)

Alright, alright. I'll come over, but only if we actually study. And don't make me stay too long, okay?"

Taehyung forces a smile, nodding.

taehyung (V)

Sure thing. And don't worry, we can leave whenever you want.

Internally, he wonders if Jungkook ever looks forward to hanging out with him or if he's always just a convenient option.
