After-Hours (VKOOK)

Chapter 18: Fragile

That day of their return they had spent a lot of time together. All of their members wanted to hang out together and enjoy the moment. Celebrating their successful honeymoon and wishing them a happy marriage. Jungkook hoped that he could he a happy marriage with Taehyung as Jin and Namjoon had. Currently spent from playing twister with an energetic Jimin. He was laid out on the floor, on his bank and breathing heavily.

Taehyung on the other hand was trying to beat Yoongi in a drinking competition. The two of them currently gulping down full glasses of alcohol while Namjoon and Hoseok shouted 'Chug, Chug, Chug' repeatedly. Though Jin wasn't supportive of this competition he still found it a little bit amusing to watch. Eventually Taehyung gave up and laid his head down on the kitchen table. Namjoon deems Yoongi the winner, though the male seemed like he hadn't just taken 3 full glasses of beer down in his system. He enunciated properly and seemed sober, but in reality Yoongi just perfected how to play it off.

Jin watched as Taehyung sat up and ran over to the window, opening it up and puking out into the grass. The older male started complaining as right below the windowsill he had planted some lavender for natural scented candles.

Jungkook laughed at the whole ordeal before he sighed and shook his head. Stepping away from Jimin who was distracted enough with helping Yoongi stand up properly, he walked upstairs. The man walked into his own bedroom and sighed as he closed the door behind himself. Jungkook smiled as he laid down on his bed and closed his eyes. Relaxing into the bed covers as he sighed and yawned, stretching his arms and legs out as he heard the door slowly creak open after. It was taehyung, he could tell by the man's tipsy walking. He was surprised his husband managed to get upstairs without injuring himself.

Taehyung grabbed at his waist and tried to pull his pants of as he opened his eyes. Jungkook grabbed his hands, "Babe stop." He muttered out as he sighed. "The guys will hear us." He said as Taehyung groaned. "Come on kookie..just let me. I'll be quiet if you be quiet. I need to feel your walls around me." He begged out as Jungkook sighed. Knowing he would keep persisting but he just slowly took his hands off of Taehyung's, pushing them away slowly.

Taehyung tried to pull Jungkook's pants off but he grabbed his hands again. "Tae stop it! Seriously! I said no!" He yelled at him as the older male started to glare at him. "No?! Seriously?!" He responded. Jungkook nodded as he sighed and pushed his hands away. Taehyung scoffed as he stood up and walked over to the other side of the bed, sitting down with his back facing his husband. Jungkook turned to look at him, "Tae..are you ok?" He gently tapped his shoulder. The male stood up and brushed him off, "You don't even care do you?" He muttered out.

"What? All this just because I said no?" He said with a confused expression. "Jungkook what is today?!" Taehyung shouted at him loudly. The younger slowly shrugged as his husband sighed. "So you don't remember anything about today?" "Tae what's going on..." Taehyung shook his head as he looked down. "Unbelievable. Today is the anniversary of my grandmothers passing." He said quietly. "I got drunk..to push down my hurt. When I found out there was a party today..I used it as a way to cope. Everybody else came to me and comforted me while you didn't even remember. I wanted you because i want to forget for one night." He explained.

Jungkook felt his heart burn as he frowned. "Tae.." His husband shook his head as he sighed. A tear slowly falling down his cheek. "Do you even know me? I mean...we've been together a long while." He said as Jungkook started to sigh. "Babe please sit down and talk to me, we can work this out." He said as he pulled Taehyung down gently. Taehyung just quietly hugged Jungkook tightly. "Just please don't let go.." he said with a crack in his voice. Jungkook was in shock.

He's never once seen Taehyung break down so hard like this. The older was usually always hiding his real emotions to please others, due to him caring so much. Jungkook just held his husband as the male cried against his shoulder. Rubbing his back and whispering soothing and soft words to help him calm down. They spent that night in each other's arms...talking and trying to keep Tae's mental health in good shape. Jungkook didn't even let go once that night, holding him. They fell asleep in each other's arms as Jungkook promised to never leave his husbands side until he was 100% again.
