✔ The Secret Santa Plot - A BTS Taekook Fiction

4

Two days of relaxing with books, board games and long walks through the beautiful scenery of this small village follow. All of them couldn't imagine a better Christmas. 

The day they were waiting for is now only one night away. Tomorrow, the Secret Santa event will be the highlight everyone is excited for. They decide to go to bed early, to be well rested in the morning. 

Jeongguk enters the shower after Taehyung just came out of the attached bathroom. It's nothing new for them to share a bed. Both live close to each other and have sleepovers more often than not. The atmosphere, however, is different with all the Christmas decorations, sweet scents in the air and the snow surrounding them outside; it's pretty romantic. 

Taehyung loves to cuddle with his best friend and knows that it's the same for Jeongguk. He'd be lying if he says that he doesn't want to kiss him every time they're close. It feels so right to be in his arms, to tell him that he loves him, even though its meaning is different from what Jeongguk thinks it is. 

Little does he know that his friend feels the same. Jeongguk often pretends to be asleep so that he can stare a little longer at Taehyung's beautiful sleeping form. 

Now being only a few meters away from him, a closed door in between them, makes him giddy. He has to hold himself back from doing things in the shower, he doesn't want to risk getting heard by him. After putting on some stylish pajamas, Jeongguk crawls under the blanket next to him. His feet are cold and he just loves to tease Taehyung by warming them up with his own. 

"Guk! I just got cozy and warm." Taehyung whines, but instead of pushing Jeongguk away, he rubs them gently. 

"Yeah, just for me. You're the best hyung ever." With a low chuckle, Jeongguk cuddles more into him, allowing Taehyung to wrap his arms around his middle. He could get used to it. Actually no, he already is, but wants to have him like that every night. 

Jeongguk is about to fall asleep when a deep voice begins to whisper into his ear. "What did you buy? You can tell me, I'll act surprised when you give it to your recipient. Please."

"Hyung, you're so nosy, I won't tell you. Just wait like all the others." Jeongguk turned his head a little, which was a mistake. Taehyung is still so close, the corner of their mouths touch slightly. Jeongguk immediately looks away, clears his throat, pretending that it never happened. He distracts himself by thinking about what happened during their stay here, that didn't include a certain someone. 

The past two days were stressful for him. Seokjin put the mistletoes in places where it was unavoidable to be kissed or kiss someone. To his surprise, it’s never been with Taehyung. It's as if he tried his best to stay away from the cursed green branch. He found himself caught under the decoration with Yoongi, who wasn't amused at all. His grumpy friend didn't get enough sleep that night and mumbled something about not having brushed his teeth yet. Of course Jeongguk used his slow state and instantly pressed his lips to Yoongi's and then ran for his life. The second time it happened was with Jimin, he pulled him into a head lock and peppered his face with wet kisses. Hoseok was having a field day, laughing so hard that he almost choked on his spit. Jimin used Jeongguk's brand new shirt to dry his face, swearing under his breath. 

Taehyung was watching them from a safe distance, giggling the entire time, he could see it from the corner of his eyes. 

What he didn't know was that Taehyung wished to be Jimin in this exact moment, but he's too much of a coward. He had enough opportunities to get his kiss, but chickened out at the last minute. Taehyung knew that he'd expose himself by blushing and being a babbling idiot afterwards. 

Jeongguk suddenly hears light snoring behind him. The sound is so calming, that it makes him close his eyes as well.
