CONTRACT MARRIAGE ||KookV||

13

Being kissed like that out of nowhere confounded Taehyung's entire being, his only response was to widen his eyes and gape at the close proximity between himself and Jungkook.

Jungkook pressed his lips chastely onto the younger man's without probing any deeper, simply holding them snug against the boy. Yet, that simple touch triggered a thunderous pounding to arise in the young man's heart, and his mind to set itself ablaze.

Such an unprecedented form of intimacy, to him, felt like a hand reaching inside-ripping open his protective shell to stir his heart.

The man gently caressed Taehyung's lips before retreating, then tossing the little book back into the lad's open hands. Taking a glance at the other, Jungkook saw the boy still stuck in his daze and so said, "As I said, my seal."

BANG---

Those words acted like a switch, smacking Taehyung out of his stupefied state, as well as forcing his face to become blanketed in a blush. Upon noticing he was face-to-face with that man, he twisted his head towards the window facing outside.

"Chicken." Jungkook teased.

In that split second, Taehyung, unsure of whether it was due to a burst of courage birthed from the rage welling up deep within him, whipped his head back towards Jungkook's direction and pursed his lips with an unyielding glare aimed at the other man.

Jungkook in reply to the younger man's action, asked in surprise, "Why aren't you saying anything as yet? Are you still so mad you......"

Soft lips touched. Jungkook still lacked any semblance of a reaction, even when Taehyung withdrew to once again resume his earlier posture and stare beyond the car's window. With him sitting in such a position, Jungkook was unable to properly view his expression, only managing to catch a glimpse of his originally pale neck, now seeming as though it was stained in blood with how red it had become.

Taehyung had kissed him? He had kissed him of his own free will?!

When that realisation finally hit Jungkook, a jolt of electricity quickly spread from his ears leaving him in a state of utter satiety, his lips still tingling with a bit of pain from where Taehyung had bumped into him. He now stared intensely at the boy's flushed ears, to the point where he could almost imagine how soft they appeared to be, completely unable from stopping his hand as it reached out to touch the reddened lobes. But, just as his arm hung outstretched, the loud blare of a horn interrupted him.

The traffic light had turned green.

"......Damn, turns out you're more of a tiger, huh!" In the end, only Jungkook can say such words with such resolve.

Still excited from the man's actions not too long ago, Taehyung's brain was on fire and after what he himself had done, he felt absolutely foolish. His heart had also become a tiny exploding volcano, whose magma heaved, wanting very much to submerge him.

He had kissed Jungkook.

He had kissed Jungkook, willingly.

Oh My God! He actually chose to kiss Jungkook!!

The lad's heart was flooded with those actions of his! Not only that but also of Jungkook's kiss and his own initiated kiss both surprisingly having not one ounce of disgust trailing them. His only feeling at that time was just of his lips heating up excessively, and that solely by that touch, he was set afire.

Following this, neither of these two men spoke a word for the remainder of their journey to the Jeon family's mansion.

Knowing it was the day the two men had gone to register their marriage, Yejun made the chef prepare a few meals. Also aware of Taehyung's recent stomach troubles, she especially urged the chef to prepare some congee for the benefit of the lad's recovering tummy.
