SECRETS & LIES | VKOOK ✓ [EDITING]

thirty-six.

hours unanimously passed that quickly the sun was even setting. the sky was coloured in beautiful colours that mixed themselves. it was the early afternoon and it was already getting darker, just because in the winter the nights were longer than the days.

and the whole time, taehyung was staying together with jeongguk. he even forgot he was there for a so-called 'just a quick visit'. to be honest, there is no such thing as a just quick typically visiting somebody, you would always stay longer than the expected.

''hold on there, that's how choi joowon ended on the street with no job and home and then died on the first week?'' taehyung was asking suprised in a smile when jeongguk was just telling him stories he missed thru the years.

''y'know, I was in some kind of a dark place after the accident so...let's say I got rid of many people.'' jeongguk hummed and looked on his back where taehyung was sitting comfortably on the couch and looking at how jeongguk was picking the next wine for them to drink.

he got himself comfortable pretty quickly, just in the first half hour he got there. currently he had a glass in his right hand, unbuttoned the flowered shirt a little bit and back turned so he could face the other behind him. and a gracious smile on his face, hearing of the stories.

''I guess he deserved it anyways, he used to torture many students in arcadia.''taehyung hummed and drank the last sip of his alcohol, leaving his glass now epmty. ''including me..''

jeongguk made his way, hiding the bottle behind his back and getting closer to taehyung, ''hey, he's gone. everyone who tortured you is gone and living in hell.'', jeongguk whispered, pouring taehyung's glass in the meanwhile talk.

taehyung hummed as how jeongguk was leaning closer to his lips and filling up his glass with a just bought bottle of one of the expensive macallan imperiale, costing 628 thousands in just dollars. ''hmm, aren't we all gonna end up in hell?''

jeongguk softly chuckled and put the bottle on the floor really quick, ''at least we will be there together, darling.'' and slowly attached their lips in sync, taehyung smiling in lust the whole making out session.

taehyung did the same and put the glass on the nearby table, trying his best not to leave the touch of the other's lips. it was just all it felt right. it felt so fvcking right to feel this lips, to be with him again, to talk and breath the same air as him. it was just perfectly right.

they were trying to fall in love with each other again, and what about it?

there was absolutely nothing wrong in that. there's not supposed to be and never will be. kim taehyung and jeon jeongguk have always been a bit dead inside, that's why they were fitting each other perfectly. just as a puzzle, completed with all its peaces.

''mr. jeon,sir eun-seok would like to make an reservation to be seeing you. do we have your permission?'' his private secretary, of course, had to disturb the tension between the two of them. partly it was right to make, or else it was going to get more heated.

but just the name made taehyung disconnected from the kiss and look in a random place in the room, breathing thru his mouth.

''inform him it would be for another time, nobody will be disturbing me in the next hours.'' he announced louder, since the man that was needing jeongguk's attention so much was making him annoyed as ever.

jeongguk walked over and muted once again the calls, even from his secretary. ''hey hey, what's wrong?'' jeongguk quickly quit the annoying act and walked to taehyung and sat beside him.

taehyung's hand reached to his own throat and rubbed it softly, ''e-eunsok..'', taehyung breathed out harshly, still looking in a random place of the corners of the room.

''as p-park eunsok?'' his hand was slightly shaking, yet jeongguk noticed fast and put away the hand on his throat.

''taehyung?''he said and got no answer from the boy, that forgot how to speak or either breath in a matter of seconds. ''taehyung.'' he now said sternly, trying to make him talk and break out the so sudden anxiety.

the boy was denying to speak, only breathing sharply thru his mouth and his eyes watering slowly. ''taehyung, talk to me for god sake.'' jeongguk shook a bit taehyung, his hands managing to softly shake him.

the male gulped harshly and looked up at jeongguk, ''where do you know him from?'' he asked in a no-emotional face and a tear streaming down his cheek until it lend on his lap.

''he is just a rascal that makes me be involved in the hera palace building, nothing more.'' jeongguk told him the truth so quickly, just because he was getting curious why taehyung changed his emotions so fast. ''what's the matter with him?''

jeongguk frowned from how taehyung laughed humorously at the sentence he got questioned. ''wh-what's the matter with him?'' he asked again, opening his eyes wider and smiling as if he was getting out of his mind.

''t-the fvcking matter..'' he said thru his broken laughs, but jeongguk was standing beside and trying to figure out the male's reactions of each word.

''that man is the reason why my death was faked.'' taehyung looked sharply at jeongguk's eyes, the pain and truth spilling out his mouth as if they were sinning ones.

jeongguk shook his head slowly, trying to procces what taehyung said. why taehyung was tearing, why taehyung was broken, why taehyung was laughing. what was even the funny thing in this fvcking situation?

''taehyung, what are you talking about?''jeongguk asked while shaking his head in disbelief.

taehyung gulped once again, collecting all his power to prepare for the hardest talk he ever will ever have to tell to anyone. because whats he was been thru, it was not just complicating, confusing or hard hard to understand why it happened. it was painful, as hell.

''jeongguk, I think it's time to tell you the truth..'' taehyung sadly smiled at jeongguk and placed his only a bit smaller hands over jeongguk ones, ''the real fvcking truth.''
