MARKED [namjin+taekook fanfic]

Chapter-9

"Do you like attack on titan?" Jungkook asked the boy who was standing near the door, not daring to move an inch.

"N-not really" Taehyung stammered. He was still processing how he had ended up here in the first place.

An hour ago, he had called Yoongi to ask about his brother's whereabouts because for some reason he wasn't picking up his phone. Yoongi had told him that there was a possibility Seokjin might not come back home for the night, leaving out the reason completely, and told Taehyung to come back home on time. Now he would have loved to but the problem was, Taehyung didn't have the extra keys with him, and going to Yoongi's place wasn't the best idea, seeing that it was freezing out there.

He was thinking if he should walk all the way to Yoongi's or stay at the parlor when Jeon Jungkook proposed the idea of him staying at his place tonight. Now Taehyung fancied the boy yet he hesitated because he was a spoiled kid who was never left alone. His brother was always with him. However,  Jungkook seemed harmless and not to mention extremely adorable, that Taehyung agreed to spend the night with him.

So here he was, standing inside a very messy one-room apartment with Jungkook crouched in front of the television, trying to find something to watch.

"How about Tokyo Ghoul?"

Taehyung has no idea what Jungkook was saying. He had heard about these shows, a better word would be anime, from Namjoon's mouth but he was sure none of these were up to his alley. Taehyung liked rom-com and not these horror Japanese cartoons. (ik anime is not cartoon. please forgive me)

"I don't know" he muttered. He didn't want to sound uncool in front of his crush but he also didn't want to watch something he didn't like.

"It's okay. You can pick whatever you want"

Thirty minutes later, Taehyung was wearing Jungkook's clothes and sitting crossed legged in front of the TV screen with a pizza box in hand. They were watching Frozen, something that Taehyung loved, and munched on the food. A comfortable silence enveloped them and only the movie could be heard.

"That was awesome. Elsa is so cool" Jungkook picked up the dishes and walked over to the sink to wash them. "Disney is fun"

"Told ya"

The two boys cleaned the living room together and headed to sleep. Taehyung was tired but the sleep vanished from his eyes when he realized that there was only one bed.

"I'll take the couch" Jungkook announced. "You can sleep here comfortably"

He was about to walk out but Taehyung was quick enough to grab his hand and stop him in his tracks.

"You need something?"

"Sleep with me" Taehyung blurted without realizing how wrong his sentence sounded. "Let's sleep together"

Jungkook was red and his face was burning hot. He knows what Taehyung meant yet he couldn't help but think the dirty.

"W-what?"

"It's big enough for two people. You won't be able to sleep comfortably on the couch. It's too cold"

Taehyung dragged his friend to one side of the bed and climbed in after him. "We each take one side"

Jungkook was furiously blushing and their close proximity wasn't helping. He looked into Taehyung's eyes and saw the boy was equally flustered but the two pretended that the thick tension didn't exist.

"Sleep tight Kookie" Taehyung mumbled before his eyes closed and he drifted off to sleep.

Jungkook lay awake beside the sleeping boy for the rest of the night. His heart was beating hard in his chest and he realized that it was time to let Taehyung know how he truly felt.
