“God hyung, I can’t wait to seriously freakin’ hate you!”

And even though these were only ten of the frequent words infallibly escaping Jungkook’s lips, unfailingly lingering through the radio waves and electrons, traveling beyond the stars and wholly occupying the snowy mist of Daegu, Taehyung could inarguably picture the younger smiling – his sweet, genuine, breath-taking smile which ever so constantly makes his heart skip a beat and let purple butterflies invade his stomach.

“I know, Kookie~ I love you more, I always have and I always will.”

And Taehyung knew these words would never be enough to close in the vast, infinite space separating Busan from where he is now, but having to hear these muffled sobs, uneven breaths and countless “I hate you’s” as a reply, he was certain his message went to where it belonged and that his feelings reached its one true destination.
