"no..." jungkook said in his most quietest whisper. He didn't hesitate much, and his face had the usual expression but the only change? He looked confused. He looked like he was asking himself the question can he kiss me?

"...okay" taehyung said in the same whisper and proceeded to still stay in the same position -his forehead on Jungkook's- with closed eyes and a small understanding smile. "just on the cheek?" he asked again but didn't even proceed move from his current stance.

Jungkook shook his head, his hair bangs that covered his forehead brushed tae's nose as it moved and taehyung just stared at him and said "what do i have to do to earn a kiss?"

"I don't know.."

"okay.... do you want more water?"

"yeah"

"okay" he responded giving him a bottle of water.

Jungkook took in the fact that taehyung's response to the word 'no' was heavily practical and positive that he couldn't believe it was real or just an act.

"how are you feeling Mr.jeon?" doctor asked coming in after a minute of their silence.

"slightly drowsy and my arm hurts"

"good, drowsiness is the side effect of the anaesthesia for the stitches." the doctor then checked all the little details like his pulse, temperature, vitals and said "you're okay Mr.jeon, eat healthy and you'll be out of here in a jiff" he smiled and went away.

"heard him? Eat healthy, like peas" taehyung said as soon as he left

"yuck, I don't mind staying a little longer"? He said putting out his tongue to show his disgust of bland food.

"your brother is here" taehyung said ignoring him but looking at his phone.

"Ohhhh.... Oh no! No. No! Wait he's gonna think-"

"he knows everything, jimin told him"

"you sure?"

"we're sure" jimin said coming inside the room. And behind him namjoon walked in too and coming closer to jungkook for an embrace.

"you okay?"

"I mean, yeah I'm better than that time my hand almost went into the chainsaw"

"jungkook don't even remind me of that"

"you guys are a pair of wild siblings" jimin commented.

"how did that even happen?" yoongi asked.

"Meh just another one of my missions"

"have you eaten?" namjoon asked.

"yeah pea soup" he said with his tongue out to show his disgust again

Namjoon just gaped with his eyes wide open and asked "they fed YOU pea soup??? Who? Tell me jungkook who made YOU eat it?!"

Jungkook lifted his head up in light speed and said "no one"

"uhm I did?" taehyung said blowing his cover and also confused as to why he had to hide that fact.

"Mr. Kim i don't have a lot of requests her-"

"taehyung"

".... Right... Taehyung... I don't have a lot of requests here, can you convince him to eat healthy till he's discharged?"

"sure?" taehyung replied still confused

"great" namjoon said and jungkook went inside his bedsheet "I thought I wouldn't live to see the day you would agree to someone"

"stop over reacting you flamingo, Where's the RM in you?"

"he's asleep and so should you be" namjoon said pulling him out and tucking him in.

"James?"

"with Mr.green, tomorrow's the hearing"

"oh..." he said and took a minute to process "Wait what hearing?"

"you guys didn't tell him?"

"he woke up like half an hour ago?" taehyung answered.

"we made sure hwanseok could not come out of jail for 50 years. He's in the private hearing, the press knows he's in jail for kidnapping but no one knows who it is. The court accepts the case as kidnapping with the help of Mr.green, there's video evidence too. Thats it now, doctor told you to rest so go to sleep" namjoon said.

"I can't sleep though I was sleeping for 29 hours already"

"well you gotta rest, I'm not even gonna let you touch your laptop until you recover"

"okay— wait can't I Atleast watch dramas?? What am I gonna do? Stare at this white freaking ceiling?"

"sigh... I can't stop you can I?"

"what an understanding brother" jungkook smiled at him

They all watched namjoon tiredly walk out the room defeated. And left too after a bit of questioning.

Jungkook looked at taehyung who came back inside and looked like he had something to say but just just stood there and stared at him. He also stared back till the curtains swished around till it finally carassed Jungkook's face, he turned to his side to tie it up and smiled while saying "wanna watch with me?"

"huh?"

"this new drama that I'm watching"

Taehyung looked like he grew another head but his face clearly showed his thought do I look like someone who spends a whole day watching romantic drama? Why is he stepping on all my walls... And why can't I say no... He can step all he wants... I don't even want to try to stop him

He nodded and sat on the sofa next to the bed, jungkook gave him a questioning look till he rummaged to open his sheets, and patted the area beside him. Taehyung didn't say anything but sat next to him after taking off his shoes.

"so I found this new horror drama, I don't know what you watch so-"

"want to know?"

"it's okay don't waste your breath I'll just see your watch history"

"don't do that, ask me, ask me what I like or dislike. I'll give you that right"

Jungkook gave him a perplexed look, he couldn't take how blunt this man was. Was he doing the right thing? He's not avoiding him, what's gonna go wrong with this relationship? Because taehyung clearly isn't looking for a short term or to be just dating relationship. He wants more, he knows it, but what is stopping him? Its not about his job, I mean why would it be that? I'm literally doing the same except I'm also with the government. Maybe what's stopping is....
My experience.

I've never been in a serious relationship, will I be enoug- wait did I just think that??
Will I be enough?? I will be too much to handle! It's gonna be okay right? If we ever get in one, I mean he can give me anything that I can give myself, he's caring too. God... I hope I won't ever regret this...
