Sunrise With You | Taekook

Chapter 9

Jungkook P.O.V.

Taehyung was standing at the doorway. His face dumbfounded and eyes covering the room as he assimilated the situation. The rest of us with our jaws open looking at him.
His eyes on mine now for what felt like ages until Jin spoke standing up from his seat and facing Tae.
"Tae Tae, what are you doing here?!" He said nervously. Taehyung redirected his attention to his hyung, who was now standing in front of him.
"Hyung" he said in a whisper. Jin waited patiently for him to form the words. "I-.. I think I left my project paper here yesterday" he stuttered. His eyes now inspecting the room looking for something. Jin nodded and turned to inspect the room too. I took the opportunity to snap out of my shock and speak.
"Tae hyung, what are you doing here?" I said trying to understand why he was here and what was his relation with Jin.
"Good question. I was gonna ask you the same" he said scratching his brows.
"We were here to eat something and hang out with Jin hyung" I said trying to explain the situation.
"Jin hyung?" He said looking from me to Jin who now was leaning on the back of Namjoon's chair looking at us trying to hide his surprise.
"Uhm" I hummed. "How do you know him?" It was now my turn to ask. Taehyung opened his mouth to answer as Jin's voice reasoned in the room. He was now walking to Taehyung, closed the door behind them and put his arm around Taehyung's neck. Both Namjoon and I, stiff in our seats.
"This is the donseng I was talking about before" he side with a bright smile.
"Wait, so you're going to Taehyung's hometown for Thanksgiving? You must be close to each other" said Yoongi next to me. Taehyung looked as if he was still shocked by the unexpected situation.
"We surely are. We've grown up together, actually. He's like a real baby brother to me" said Jin proudly. Taehyung's lips curved in a small smile.
"Hyung!" He pouted getting out of the older's embrace. "Don't embarrass me please". And oh my god, he was so damn cute that I just wanted to pinch his cheeks. Jin chuckled at the younger's cuteness.
"Don't worry my baby bear. I wouldn't do that" he said as he ruffled the younger's hair.
"Hyung!" Taehyung cried out. I couldn't help but smile at the sweet boy.
"Sorry, but am I the only one who doesn't know him?" Intervened Hoseok from his chair.
"I don't either, although I have a hunch about him" said Namjoon, redirecting his gaze to me and giving me a knowing look. Oh God, I would have a lot of explaining to do later. I decided that now was a good time to start.
"He's my friend. He helped me out a couple of times." I said now standing and going to Taehyung, who was looking at me with a cautious look. I put my hand on his back and made him move a little forward. His body trembling to my touch.
"Tae hyung, this is Namjoon hyung." I said pointing at the platinum haired boy seated in front of us. Namjoon stretched his hand and Taehyung shook it calmly.
"Nice to meet you, I'm Taehyung" he said, bowing to him. Namjoon smiled and I pressed the hand on Taehyung's back slightly to turn him to Hobi.
"And this is Hoseok hyung" I said pointing at the cherry red hair boy. Hoseok smiled brightly as he shook Tae's hand as well as the latter bowed to him too.
"Nice to meet you hyung. Can I call you that? Yoongi hyung nagged me when I addressed formally to him the other day". Said Taehyung timidly looking at his now new friends. Both Namjoon and Hobi answered happily.
"Sure you can!" Said Hobi.
"Jungkook hasn't many friends so anyone who is with him is our friend too" said Namjoon with a dimpled smile.

I realized I still had my hand on Taehyung's back and quickly removed it, gaining the looks from all our friends. Tae's face tinted a beautiful pink as he detached from my hold. I put my hand on my pocket so I wouldn't do anything stupid again. 
"Hyung" called out Yoongi. Jin turned his head to look at him, inviting the younger to continue. A smirk on Yoongi's face as he looked at Namjoon and me before turning again to Jin and finally speaking. Nothing good ever came out of his mouth when he had that playful look. Namjoon and I looked at each other with nervousness as Yoongi spoke again.
"Now that we know that your donseng is Taehyung and we all know each other, why don't we go with you to celebrate Thanksgiving? We can get to know each other better and also, we won't be bored to death in the dorms." Namjoon let out a gasp and gave a death stare to the blonde boy who was now sitting alone on the other side of the table. I held my breath for a long time trying to follow Yoongi's train of thought. What the actual fuck was he thinking about?!
Jin seemed to be taken aback to the suggestion too. And the next person who spoke was Hobi.
"Yesss pleaseee~! We really need to get out of that dorm". He said with his hands imitating a pleading posture and his face with a pity look.
Jin looked at Taehyung who was next to me and I did the same. His face was unreadable as he looked at all of us bewildered.
"You want to come to my house with us for Thanksgiving?" He said pointing to us. Yoongi and Hobi were the first to nod energetically, Namjoon and I followed later, not that enthusiastic. I wanted to go, that was obvious. But I didn't want to interfere with their previous plans for the holidays or make Taehyung uncomfortable. Although just the thought of being with him for three days made my heart skip a bit. We all looked at Taehyung who was staring at Jin. Both of them were silent but communicating with their eyes.
Jin started speaking.
"Look guys, I would really like that but I-" he was cut off by Taehyung.
"It's okay. You guys can come if you want. But.." he stopped to play with the hem of his blue shirt. "One more friend of ours is coming too and you guys are, uhm, famous. So maybe you don't really feel comfortable with that." He said still looking at his feet. He just looked up again when Hoseok spoke.
"That's perfect! The more the merrier. And if he's your friend I'm sure we don't have to worry about him letting everyone know about us". He chirped happily from his seat.
"No, yeah. Jimin wouldn't say anything, that's for sure. But he might be a bit too much at times" said Taehyung, scratching the back of his neck. I gave him a reassuring look as I spoke.
"Hyung! I'm sure we'll have a lot of fun all together, don't worry about that".
Taehyung stared at me and nodded silently.
Well, now that we have everything sorted out.." started saying Yoongi. "We can exchange numbers. I'll do a new group chat so we can decide on what to bring and how to get there." He said looking pleased with how things turned out.
Namjoon was still silent in his seat taking in all the new information and I was trying to contain my happiness. We'll be traveling, having free time out of the dorms without the managers and on top of that, with Taehyung.
As everything was finally sorted out, Taehyung started looking for his paper again. I helped him and went to look under the table, where I found it next to Namjoon's feet. I crawled over there and took it.
"Hyung" I said from under the table. "I found it!" I started crawling back when Namjoon decided to stand up and stepped on my hand, making me jump in surprise and smash my head into the wood crying out a 'Fuck!'. God, a bit more and I could've just burned alive myself too. I heard Namjoon apologizing again and again at the other side of the table and Yoongi yelling at him for being a clumsy. I put my hand on my chest and with the other one touched the back of my head trying to send away the pain. My eyes closed shut and my mouth cussing secretly at Namjoon's clumsiness.

I didn't realize someone was now under the table with me until I felt a hand caressing gently the back of my head. I opened my eyes to find Taehyung down on his knees next to me. Our faces were so close that I could feel his breathing in my lips. His eyes glittering with concern and his lips pressed together making a fine line before he spoke.
"Are you okay Kook-ah? Does it hurt?" My eyes on his cherry lips before looking again to his dark orbs. I nodded slightly as my hand still burned and my head hurt. His left hand was still caressing the area and the other one was traveling to take mine on his, careful to not make it more sore. The movement made us come even closer. My heart was beating faster than ever and I was sure it was even visible from the outside. I would die of embarrassment if Taehyung could hear it from where he was. He took my hand and put it closer to his mouth, just millimeters keeping it away from his lips. His mouth parted slightly and he blew out to make the burn feeling go away. His breath warm to my skin sending chills all over my body. My eyes closed shut as he caressed the back of my hand with his thumb and his eyes fixed in his movement. I swallowed hard as a warm and strange feeling was storming out in my stomach. My face and ears burning to the touch of both, my hand and head. I couldn't help but open my eyes and look at his lips again. They were cherry red and plump. I bit my lower lip nervously at the thought of kissing him, feeling his soft lips on mine, on my neck, on my chest.
Oh my god. What the actual fuck was I thinking about right now?! I came back to my senses and removed myself from his touch, crying out inside for losing the warmth. His eyes were now squinting, looking at me in wonder and something else… something like disappointment? No, no way. I tried to control my breathing and stop my thoughts. I couldn't fall for him. He didn't like me. We just started being friends. Why did I have to do this to us? To our friendship?
"I-.. I'm ok-okay hyung. Thanks." I snapped out in a stutter as I made my way out from under the table, leaving the papers there and not looking back at Taehyung, who was now left  alone with his thoughts.
