Quid Pro Quo. TaeKook AU

Coming undone

As the day turned into the night, we all had dinner together and afterwards agreed on a fire on the beach. Tae and I went back to the hotel room and changed into some lounge clothes, both of us wore sweats and regular t-shirts with jackets

"Steve wants to know if we want anything from the liquor store"

"Are you sure that's a good idea for you?" I asked as I put my hair up 

"Probably not" he shook his head 

"I'll take beer" 

"Okay" he nodded and texted Steve back "I'm Uh, I'm sorry for earlier" 

"What about it" I shrugged as I grabbed my phone and wallet and stuck them into my pockets 

"I don't want you to feel like I used you I guess"

"Tae, we have a contract. I'm your boyfriend, and bodyguard. As your boyfriend it's supposed to look as real as possible, so if that's how you wanted it to happen, that's fine. Let's just go" I shook my head and walked away to put my flip flops back on 

"Yeah but, between last night and today, I just feel like I might have taken advantage of the situation" 

"It's fine" I shook my head "I knew what you were doing and I went along with it. You're the one that has an issue with physical contact, not me" 

That sounded a little harsher than I had meant. But I needed to remind myself that he's paying me, so I have to do my part right? 

"If anyone should be sorry it's me, I shouldn't have pushed the kiss further or let you cuddle with me in your underwear" 

"I'm okay with it, you have nothing to apologize for" he shook his head 

"Okay, let's go then" I smiled and reached my hand out for him, he took it with a small smile and followed me down to the lobby and out onto the sand. 

"There they are!" Sandra squealed with a giggle 

"Hey" we smiled as we greeted everyone and sat down in the sand 

"I wasn't sure what type of beer you wanted Jungkook so I grabbed a six pack of Bud"

"That works, thanks Steve" I reached into my pocket for my wallet and handed him some cash 

"Oh? Thanks" he smiled as he accepted it "no one ever pays anyone for anything at these things" 

"Well I'm not a rich snob so" I shrugged and laughed making him laugh obnoxiously and nod his head 

"Want one babe?" I asked Tae as I took the cap off one of the bottles 

"Just one, after last night I shouldn't be drinking" he mumbled 

"You actually drink that shit?" Namjoon said with a chuckle as he and Paul were drinking whiskey or scotch, I couldn't tell from the bottle 

"Yeah? What, am I supposed to drink expensive whiskey whenever I want a drink with my boyfriend?" He rolled his eyes as I wrapped my arm around his waist and chuckled before sipping on my beer 

"I tell him that all the time, he doesn't listen. If it's less than a hundred dollars the man won't drink it" Sandra shook her head and giggled 

"Nothing changes then" Tae laughed 

"Oh that's right, I forgot you guys used to be friends! Awww Joonie, were you guys close?" 

Ouch. Friends?
