Work Text:
“I want to leave please !
- Don’t be such a pussy Taehyung, come on.
- I don’t want to !”
Taehyung struggles to get out of the seat while his boyfriend tries to keep him seated. Jungkook’s eyes turn red as he makes big steps towards the front seats. Taehyung tries desperately to break free from his bf’s grip as he strengthen it.
“Stay sit for fuck sake ! You are making a scene !
- I want to leave !!
- Stop.”
A firm voice halts them both as they turn to the source of it. Jungkook stares at them and once they stopped, he gets to work. He unlocks the front seats and remove the security bar. He stands up, allowing Taehyung to get up as well and leave the seat. His boyfriend tries to grab whatever he can from Taehyung’s body to keep him on the seat.
Fortunately, he failed. Taehyung is now on the attraction platform, standing behind Jungkook.
“You are such a coward Taehyung ! You are embarrassing me. Pussy. Can’t believe I am going out with such a weakling like you !” he spits at Taehyung, eyes filled with disgust.
Taehyung’s eyes brim with tears, and before he talks back, Jungkook is faster.
“And you, are an asshole. Are you /that/ frightened to ride this train alone ? I hope we never see you again in this park. Security will escort you out.”
The guy looks around and is shocked to see the security guards walking towards him.
“H-hey ! You can’t do this to me, I paid for this ! You can’t do this !” He tries to get off the security guards’ grip, but failed miserably. Taehyung watches him leaving with the guards, still shaken up by the situation.
“No one wants a partner like you by the way !!” Jungkook lastly shouts.
More staff joins them, and ask if Taehyung is okay. Taehyung nods, but the staff still escorts them to the staff cabin, and make him sit down.
“I can handle this”. The staff nods and leaves Jungkook alone with Taehyung. He gives him a cup of water.
“You okay ?” Taehyung nods, and stares at his cup. He feels little, now that he is alone with this man.
“Breathe. You are fine. He is gone.” He nods again, and takes a sip. He looks at Jungkook-
Wow. He is ethereal.
Flustered, he tries to remember his words. “T-thank you for earlier. Sorry to cause this much trouble…”
Jungkook kneels down to be at Taehyung’s eye level. “Hey. That’s fine, don’t worry. It wasn’t a big deal. Usually, there are bigger troubles. Don’t worry.”
Taehyung nods, and continuously stares at his cup. He doesn’t know what to do. He feels like he needs to be honest.
“I don’t know what to do now… I am single and alone at an attraction park.” Should he go home ? Ugh, but he will feel even more like shit. Ending the day this early would confirm that this day is ruined. He should make the most of it. But how ? Riding rollercoaster alone isn’t that bad after all. He could listen to music to compensate his loneliness.
“Hey, I have an idea.” Taehyungs turns his head to Jungkook’s direction, giving him his attention.
“You will be a VIP for the day. I will be your guide. How does that sound ?”
Taehyung stares at him, surprised by the idea. This doesn’t sound bad… But him ? alone with a man ? a stranger in addition to that ?
“You will be fine ! You can ride the attraction alone if you want ! Or I can be with you too, it’s up to you ! I am your guide, I will accompany you throughout the day and you will skip the queue because you will be a VIP. You have a free lunch at any restaurants of the park, the limit is 50$ though. Does this sound interesting to you ?”
Taehyungs gets lost in Jungkook’s doe eyes. “Can we really do that ?”, he asks, unsure.
“Working at an attraction park has its perks”, he winks, “Though, I can’t do this to everyone. But for special cases like yours, we can.” He smiles, hopefully it reassures Taehyung. After a short silence, Taehyung agrees to the idea, with a quiet whisper, “okay”, that Jungkook caught.
The latter stands up with a smile, and extends his hand. “Let’s go ?”
Taehyung smiles and takes it.
Jungkook walks him through the park, as he tells him about the history of it, and Taehyung listens carefully as he learns more knowledge about it.
At the end of the day, Jungkook guides him through the exit of the park. Taehyung spent a very good day with his company. They rode rollercoasters together (they held hands !), ate lunch together, it was a wonderful day. He doesn’t want it to end, but he is very tired from all the walking (he did 22k steps ! His feet will remember this day).
Taehyung holds his phone, in his hands, as they are walking towards the gates. He has to make a move now. Now or never. He can’t loose this opportunity. He fidgets with his phone, and musters his courage.
But then, he remembers. He remembers that Jungkook did that because it’s his job. Not because he particularly appreciates him. It’s his job. And that is it.
Taehyung sighs, and pockets his phone. He looks defeated, but it is how it is. They say goodbye, and Taehyung feels like it’s wrong, but that’s life.
THE END
Just kidding.
They walked towards the gates together, while Jungkook tells him stories he experienced while working here. Most of them are funny, but some of them are weird. Taehyung can tell that this is not an easy job.
As they arrived at the gates, Jungkook is the first to speak (or, he continues to talk).
“I hope I made your day better, despite its rough start.
- Yes ! Definitely. Thank you for everything. I-
- Do you wanna do this again?
- What ?
- I mean, us. Hanging out. Do you wanna do this again?”
Taehyung pinches himself discreetly. Jungkook saw it, but he doesn’t comment on it. He suppresses his smile as much as he can. He can tell that Taehyung is about to explode, he doesn’t want to add even more.
“Yes, I want to ! It was fun. Should we exchange numbers ?
- Sure !”
They exchange their phones, and enters each other’s numbers. Once they registered their numbers, Jungkook gives back Tae’s phone, “I am glad that this douchebag left. You deserve so much than that.”
There is no doubt now. Jungkook is flirting with him. Taehyung gains a little confidence,
“Like what ? A private date at an attraction park ?” His smile reaches his eyes.
Fuck, he is adorable, Jungkook thinks. His confidence is nothing but endearing.
“Exactly. Though it was a part of my job, today count as a date.”
Taehyung’s heart is happy. As they part ways, Jungkook yells, “I will show you how love feels like !” and Taehyung giggles.
They both smile on their way home. One got a wonderful date after being dumped by a douchebag, the other got a date with his love at first sight who is now, fortunately, single.

Anyway, they fell in love and Jungkook asked him out on their third date, and they lived happily ever after and adopted 2 dogs : Tan and Bam
Lots of kisses and more under the sheets, they were very much in love <3
