No reply for a few minutes. Jungkook watches the typing indicator come and go
Taehyung
Hey! Sorry - just dealing with some work stuff
Taehyung
Glad you still use this number
Jungkook
Of course. Old habits
Jungkook
You back in town?
Taehyung
Mm
Taehyung
Just for a few days - family stuff. Nothing fun
Jungkook hesitates before tying again. Last time they spoke was years ago. The silence between them is loud
Jungkook
Right. Sorry to hear that.
Jungkook
If you need anything, I'm around
Taehyung
...Thanks
A long pause before Jungkook is halfway to putting his phone down when another message pops up
Taehyung
Hey - want to maybe catch up?
Taehyung
Or are you busy?
Jungkook
Busy with work mostly
Jungkook
And other stuff
Jungkook thinks about his new job, his morning gym routine, the never-ending to-do list on his desk - all distractions from thinking too much about Taehyung
Taehyung
you sound... Tired
Jungkook
Guess I am.
Jungkook
You?
Taehyung
Same
Taehyung
But I'd still like to see you, if that's okay
Jungkook's heartbeat is faster for reasons he won't quite admit - and he doesn't reply for a long moment, choosing his words carefully
Jungkook
When?
Taehyung
Tomorrow evening?
Taehyung
There's this quiet café I like. I'll send the address.
Jungkook feels a strange knot in his chest. This was too familiar and too different at once. Something about Taehyung's tone - casual on the surface, but with something deeper beneath - draws him in
Jungkook
Okay. See you then
Taehyung
Great
Jungkook sets his phone aside, staring at the darkened screen for a long time. There's a lingering ache - a feeling that whatever they'd had before was still there, tangled and uncertain, and this meeting would pull at those threads in ways he isn't sure he's ready for
