Obsession (vkook)

18

Taehyung feels guilty as he looks down at the number on the scale he kept in his bathroom. His hands fidgeting as he waits for Jeongguk's reaction.

"It's nothing we can't fix," He says, taking Taehyung's hand as he steps off the scale. "It's not your fault they took advantage of you in that hospital."

"What will we do today?" Taehyung asks as he gets dressed. Noticing that Jeongguk still hasn't changed his clothes. He was too afraid to ask why.

"I figured we could just stay in and catch up. We can make dinner together," Jeongguk says, rearranging the things on Taehyung's dresser. "Make it feel like old times again."

Taehyung smiles as he buttons the last few buttons on his shirt, turning to Jeongguk who has busied himself with putting his perfume bottles in order. "You're quite particular aren't you?"

"I always have been." Jeongguk smiles softly as he looks up at Taehyung. "Everything has to be perfect, right?"

"Not everything can be perfect, Jeongguk."

"It could be if everyone put in some effort."

Taehyung falls silent, letting the younger have the last word. "Gguk?"

"Hm?" Jeongguk smiles, his smile faltering when he looks over and sees the apprehensive expression on his face. "What's wrong, beautiful?"

"I just...I can't help but notice..." Taehyung trails off, looking down at his hands.

"Notice what, my love?" Jeongguk asks, walking over and standing in front of him. "You can tell me anything."

"Why don't you ever change?" He asks without looking up at him.

"Perfection and consistency go hand in hand." Jeongguk takes Taehyung's hands and making him look at him. "You know that."

"Who told you that?"

"You know who."

"Who, Jeongguk?"

Jeongguk falls silent, his eyes narrowing slightly as he looks Taehyung in the eyes. "What's going on here, Taehyung? Are you doubting me?"

"Why don't you ever change your clothes?" Taehyung asks, his voice shaking nervously. "I've never s-seen you wear anything else...why?"

"I can't believe you," Jeongguk says, shaking his head in disappointment. "What's gotten into you?"

"I couldn't help but notice~"

"You're taking your medicine again, aren't you?" He asks suspiciously. "Don't you dare lie to me. Are you?"

"No, Jeongguk, I'm not," Taehyung says, shaking his head. "I swear, I haven't."

"Prove it."

"Prove it?"

"You've never questioned me before. The only time you've ever questioned me is when you took that shit they gave you. So prove you aren't taking it."

Taehyung stammers for a moment before falling silent, looking at Jeongguk to be sure he was serious.

"Where the hell is it?" Jeongguk asks, already walking to the bathroom. "Where is it!?"

"Stop yelling, someone will hear you," Taehyung says, rushing after him. "Why would I lie about taking it? I know what it'll do to me~"

"Flush it," He says pointing, to the full bottle sitting on the counter next to the sink. "I want to see you do it, now."
