Cloaked Hearts - 25.7k - Jeongguk has enough on his table trying to get over an ex, dealing with other’s expectations of him and attempting to graduate Hogwarts with top grades. But no, he couldn't just leave it there—of course not. As on top of everything, somewhere along the way he ends up falling for someone who hates his very guts, because if there is anything he is, it’s unlucky.
The Sum of Shared Memories - 51.7k - Sixth-year Gryffindor Jeon Jungkook is dying because of a Hanahaki curse. Now the simplest thing would be to go find the one he loves, confess, and hope his feelings are reciprocated. There’s only a slight problem: Jungkook was Obliviated... and he doesn’t remember who that person is.
The Kim-Jeon Wedding Affair - 112.5k - “What was your first thought when you saw the other for the first time?” Taehyung laughs and Jeongguk sighs. “I’ll go first,” says Taehyung. “I thought he was very good looking and also very annoyed. His eyes were glaring at everyone.” “I thought that amongst the incredibly annoying Korean boys, Taehyung was the hot one.” (Or, a 'how Taehyung and Jeongguk met at Hogwarts' exposé by Kim Seokjin.)
as i am - 91.2k - Since their first year at Hogwarts, Jeongguk had been captivated by Taehyung, resignedly believing he would forever remain unnoticed in Taehyung's world.
Comets and Dragons - 11.2k - “I don’t think you’re expecting me to forget whatever happened at the tournament during our time at Hogwarts,” Taehyung blinks innocently back at the younger male and tilts his head, smiling, “My, whatever do you mean, darling?” Or (Taehyung and Jungkook reminisce their years in Hogwarts when the quinquennial Triwizard Tournament was at its peak.)
Truth Potions and Strawberry Quills - 10.6k - Hogwarts' resident Head Boy Taehyung catches Quidditch Captain Jeongguk mid-prank and some how ends up paying for it with the world's dumbest bet. Although, it might not be all that dumb if it means he gets a date out of it... OR the one where Taehyung finds out who's been helping Peeves prank the first years, he doesn't expect to run straight into a lion's den (quite literally), when he catches Jeongguk and his friends in the act.
“I should tell you beforehand that I have no interest in falling in love with you or having an actual married life with you.” Taehyung states.
Jungkook laughs before holding Taehyung’s waist and pulling him close. “I can assure you that the feeling is mutual. I don’t have any interest in falling in love with you either.” he says, his grip firm on Taehyung’s waist. “You’re not my type.”

Summary: the difference between want and have is you
his eyes roam the words carefully printed on the wall, on the lower left part of the painting. it is where the title, date and artist are usually placed.
a piece of me is always found right beside you
it follows you wherever you go
it’s lonely from what i see where i stay far from you
alone.
taehyung, these days, is alone.
he is used to it but routine never makes it okay to be alone.
his sadness should not be a routine but, oh well, it is.
he stays in his average house that’s one in the lined town houses in the village. the area itself is decongested, only the people habituating each house goes in and out of their little village and everyone is almost familiar, if not knows, each other.
his own house in particular looks lived on. more so on the side of used but not so worn out. maybe the walls are not as white and clean as they used to be, a few scratches and dirts that got on it as days pass by but no ceiling has started falling down unprompted and everything works how they’re assigned to function.
taehyung would like to think he’s more sad than alone. he still has friends anyway but friends cannot always live with you on your house guised under the cover of it being a sleepover that turns into days.
but friends just like him have their own personal matters and cannot always be with him. he understands when hoseok cannot stay for more than two days and has to leave just before lunch to meet up with a close friend of his, one from outside of their group of friends so taehyung can’t have the option to ask to come with. he understands when jimin cannot come on days he’s asking him to and sometimes comes on a saturday instead of his friday night invite.
when he’s so down, he thinks he’s not entitled to his friends times but they assure him it’s not the case.
so no, he is not alone.
he goes over to the next display, going over the sculpture itself and then to the artist description posed near the display. the sculpture itself is a form that resembles a man that is slightly haunched, although it takes more than a second to realize as the form only captures the head to chest of a human body, but considering that the back part of it protrudes slightly the way a man would when lax. the main body is that of charcoal color but it was designed to portray a visual effect of a dripping paint from its head, represented with different colors which are bright enough to contrast its dark body.
the display is almost familiar and it has been staring at him longer than he stared at it.
the title is printed in bold, a sinner
love is not a sin but my thoughts about you and the way i see the word love around you is
taehyung moves on to another display, it being a worn out stack of paper that looks as if it has 300 pages of a4’s binded by a clip. he steps closer to it to inspect, knowing displays are off limits and can only be appreciated through the eyes, he skims over the word of what he found out would be a script of some sort.
he reads,
i’m drunk, i love you
the difference between want and have is you
he walks over to the last one if its placement by the exit is anything to go by, just like the last one he’s looked over, it’s a display with a single ring in the middle.
all alone
and it sits there as if it has been assigned to mock him and the ring that sits on the very bottom and far end of a box full of things he doesn’t need but can’t seem to throw away.
he reads the title and wow, yes. it’s definitely mocking him. he had been giving it the benefit of the doubt but the title is the last straw. this whole exhibit is out to mock him.
taehyung thinks he’s being over dramatic. but he also thinks this last display is offensive to him, absolutely personal.
—
taehyung sits at home, eyes on the tv he has playing as he waits for night time news.
it seems like the words of the last display he went to see that day have been imprinted on his brain, on the wall in front of him, on the ceiling as he looks up, when he close his eyes.
—
Once you told me,
your eyes are always on me.
And you did, you took care of me.
Because you are that kind of person.
You put me before you.
All the time.
Which is why you are the best.
To be honest, I would not even put me before me.

taehyungiehyungihyung,
have you been well? i hope you are. the longest time i’ve been away from you is now and still counting— the present. the second one would be during Christmas breaks because you and your family spend it on your relatives home alternately and don’t come back until after new years. anyway... is your hair longer now? i hope it is and i hope you dont cut it. i seem to have a lot of hopes.
im packing up for a trip to a long trail not too far from here. they said it was too pretty to pass up and you get to reach the clouds.
, jungkook
taehyung reads the letter. he received it yesterday late afternoon and it doesnt have a date. jungkook often forgets to write dates so he assumes they were written at least three days ago.
it wasnt the first letter he received. he doesnt keep count but he has a few kept behind his door where he puts his mails.
in the first letter, jungkook said its best to not have taehyung write back. he goes from one place to another, he said. so, taehyung merely reads them and keeps them.
in the first letter, he also said about his sudden departure. he wanted to be away for a while and he knows his best friend would need him for the wedding so he decided to do it after. he didnt even get to say goodbye and only got a whiff of the younger when the letter came that day.
jungkook didnt say why he left and where he went. he just did. right after taehyung’s wedding, he packed up and went away from taehyung’s vicinity as far as he could.
does he know? taehyung asks. does he know i’m not married anymore?
—
his divorce with minji was something that stemmed off a petty thing.
falling out of love is a petty thing.
but, he guesses, they both cannot trap themselves in a house they’re not happy in anymore.
it was sudden, the divorce.
minji told him that she doesnt feel the same anymore. they agreed to stay off the house and after more than a week of a cool off she said she doesnt feel anything at all.
in taehyung’s case, he did not feel it the same way minji did. he only noticed once minji told him she felt that way. it made him feel that the heaviness in the room when they’re both in it was a foreboding for something.
taehyung is a giving lover. the time away from minji made him think a lot. he knows he doesn’t have a choice but to agree on the separation. forbid his thoughts, but he doesn’t want the time to come when the both of them completely falls out of love and seeks warmth from another person and then go home at night to sleep in the same bed.
he texts minji, because as accepting as he is about the decision, he’s not too keen watching a soon to be ex wife pack up and leave.
both of them were gradually moving out their personal items from the house. properties they bought with their shared money will be sold as secondhand items and some are donated.
in between moving out and settling in to a new apartment, he’s had namjoon and jimin with him and if yoongi has extra time mostly at night, he helps sort out his things.
he knew there was a missing person. he wanted to tell jungkook about it.
but jungkook wasn’t there.
—
until one day, jungkook is back.
suddenly, he’s there attending the dinner party for jin’s birthday, sat beside hoseok.
he casted him wary glances throughout the night. at some point he was even referencing to taehyung like everything’s so normal, but taehyung knows it’s just a very jungkook way of letting him know ‘i’m here and i will talk to you and acknowledge your presence whether you like it or not’. taehyung isn’t one for being petty so he went along with it. thankfully, their friends don’t seem to give too much thought into their two other friends sat on the opposite sides of the table.
the next day, jungkook seems to have arrived in taehyung’s new home at the same time a delivery for taehyung came. it eased jungkook’s nerves that he doesn’t have to go through knocking and then purposefully being ignored.
“did you order anything?” jungkook asks just as the delivery person makes their leave.
“i went and bought some essential oils.” taehyung silently gestures for the other to come in and jungkook did, locking the door behind him.
“how are you, taehyungie?” jungkook was sat in front of taehyung in the living room. there’s only the makeshift coffee table and some mats on the floor to sit on since taehyung have yet to buy a sofa.
“tired these days. in between work and unpacking. i’m jealous of kids who do nothing when they’re moving into a new home because they get a free pass to not do things around.” taehyung pouts silently, looking at the soda in can at hand while he traces a finger on the lid.
jungkook chuckles at that and after, no one speaks until, “i’ve heard about it.”
when taehyung makes no motion to respond to it, jungkook continues, “jimin hyung mentioned it to me one time that they were helping you move out so i asked... sorry.”
“it’s okay. i had friends who helped me. i got by.” taehyung winces.
“i wasn’t.” jungkook says, the here that follows hangs in the air which they know would follow.
“you were busy.” taehyung says instead.
jungkook would retaliate but he knows there’s no point.
“i sent you an invite to my exhibit. you went?” jungkook asks, hopeful.
“i did.”
“you didn’t insist to text me or write. i kind of assumed you would once you see it, but it’s okay. at least you did go to it.” jungkook pats his own thigh lightly to distract him.
“i wouldn’t know what to say. at the wedding, and even before that. i would feel something but i didn’t want to be that person and assume. i could be seeing it wrong, i don’t know.” taehyung rambles. “but then the other boys would also drop a few comments here and then.” and it’s true. sometimes jin would say teasing words and taehyung only acts as if he doesn’t get it and sometimes, he acts as if he didn’t hear it at all.
“you were happy. i don’t have any excuse.” jungkook whispers.
“now-“
“now what?”
“i guess to some extent, i liked you back. but i didn’t see it until now so i’m not going to rush this and jump into a relationship with you right away. it’s not fair to the both of us.”
“i understand. after all, your divorce is not yet finalized. i’d be here for you but i’m not gonna distract you from it.” jungkook assures him and that’s all he needs. everything will be okay.
“i know it’s the last day of your exhibit today. wanna go together?” taehyung smiles at jungkook and indeed, everything’s okay.

Enjoy~~
My constant - One evening on an award show, Jeongguk’s insecurities and jealousy make an appearance. Once he and Taehyung get back to the hotel, things get heated but in the middle of it, Jeongguk loses it and Taehyung makes him talk it through. Jeongguk is afraid that Taehyung would get bored of him and leave him so Taehyung shows him how much he still loves him and wants him.
(Afraid to Get) Close - The five times Taehyung saw someone else touching Jungkook, and the one time he touches Jungkook himself.
Don't Cry JK - Jeongguk and Taehyung used to mess around. And then they grew up. And Taehyung has been trying really hard to be a good friend since. But in his heart he knows he never really grew out of it. What he doesn't know is that he isn't the only one with that problem on his hands.
Love Yourself: Loving Him - Taehyung doesn't know why Jimin's dirty suggestion got to him like that. He also doesn't know how much truth there is in that statement. One thing is certainly true. Even if he doesn't know himself as well as he could, his life was never destined to be simple—especially in respect to a certain roommate of his.
fresh laundry - after his talk with tae, some of jungkook's old feelings rise to the surface
Words of Wisdom - Taehyung has to get his wisdom tooth out, and ends up confessing his feelings to Jeongguk while still under the influence of the anaesthesia. Jeongguk's had a crush on Taehyung since forever, so this is a dream come true - except that Taehyung doesn't remember anything that happened when the drugs wear off.
you're the only one (that i get like this for) - jeongguk wants taehyung's attention.
