Secrets - Namjin Yoonmin Taekook

Ten 🤐

Taehyung stops on his tracks before getting home. The night was fun but he needs to walk the other way. Without wanting to give an explanation he just tells Jin to go ahead. He'll meet him at the house later. Since the older is too tired to argue or go with him, he agrees. Tae stops himself from asking Jin to join him. He can see how strange he's been acting lately. Even though most people didn't notice.

He walks a few blocks. Maybe four or five. And there he finds it. Jungkook's house. Where it all started. Or how JH put it in his message earlier...

Look at the picture I found! You look so nice together! He kept you in the basement...but I think now he keeps someone else. You'll get some advantage if you tell me who's there!

JH

Taehyung doesn't believe his words. There's no way Jungkook lets anyone else in that basement. He was an exception and he knows it. And the picture JH sent...the one of him and Jungkook kissing...he can't believe Kook still has it. He promised to erase it back then! Upset, he walks closer to the house, trying his best not to make any noise. In the backyard, he can see the little window at the bottom of the house that leads to the basement.

The shadow of someone inside alerts him. Maybe if he can see his face he can tell JH and in exchange he'll keep his secret. But as he gets closer there's no one there. Not that he can see at least. It looks empty. There's only the same things as last time he was there. And seeing the place he can't help to remember.

It was Jungkook's birthday when it all happened. Since Yoongi was such a close friend he was invited and so was Tae. Honestly, he didn't wanna go. He didn't want people to know he was in the poor kid's house. But Yoongi insisted so he agreed. There wasn't many people and they all knew each other. He felt uncomfortable and Yoongi was to distracted to give him attention.

He walked around the house, alone. There wasn't much to see. Until he found the basement. The house was very small and old but he still wanted to know every room in it so he just got in. There, he found himself amazed by all the things Jungkook had. Turns out he had over ten hobbies and he was amazing at all of them. He found boxing gloves, paintings, photographs, instruments...that kid really tried lots of things!

- You can play that if you want

Taehyung turned around almost scared to death to find Jungkook there.

- I-I don't know how to

- Really? I thought the one and only Kim Taehyung could do anything

- Not playing piano. I'm amazing at many other things though

- You're not very humble, are you?

Jungkook smiled through his words. He had talked to Taehyung many times, even before that night, thanks to Yoongi. And truth is, he found him to be very entertaining. Partly because he was so different from what he was expecting when he met him. And even though it was his birthday and his friends were upstairs, he spent the whole night talking to Tae. By the end of it, the boys were laughing and a little drunk.

- I'm telling you! You should open an Instagram! Maybe you could gain some popularity if you show people your abs!

- Is that what you do on insta? I might get one to follow you

- I don't have much to show hahaha usually it's just pictures of me with Jimin or my brother

- Or Yoongi?

- Actually, no. I always ask him for a pic of us kissing! But he says that's too private

- Well, that's dumb.

- I know, right?!

- Any excuse to kiss you would sound good to me

It was just two seconds later that a blushing Taehyung saw the other boy take out his camera. He studied some photography before and the look in his eyes was too tempting for Tae. He could blame the alcohol all he wants but he was actually dying to do it.

- What do you say? We don't have to post it after...

Jungkook was definitely crossing a line. Yoongi was his best friend. He shouldn't be doing that. But he couldn't stop himself. Taehyung looked too perfect in his eyes and to just imagine himself kissing his lips was enough to make him forget about anything else in the world. To this day, the picture they took sharing a sweet kiss that became deeper seconds later, is still his favorite.

Currently, things are very different. Taehyung is standing in the boy's backyard trying his best to see who's in his basement. But a noise alerts him and he has to stay still and silent. The steps come from the front door and his heart stops as he sees Jungkook get closer holding a baseball bat.

- Who's there?!

Taehyung holds his breath. He can see Jungkook is trying not to be scared. Yes, he's strong. But defending himself is not that easy when you can't see. He knows it. He saw him get bullied more than once. Thankfully, most of those times Yoongi or Yugyeom came up to help him. Something Taehyung never dared to do.

- Shit...

Jungkook feels like there's someone. But there's not even a sound. And no matter how hard he tries, his tears come out. Ever since the incident his life made a turn. Everything is so different. He feels too weak. And even though he has more than one friend back in the house. He feels alone. Suddenly, footsteps make their way closer to him. He holds on to the bat ready to defend himself. But then a sweet smell hits his nose and something soft touches his hand.

Reaching out he finds himself holding some flowers. He can recognize they're from his own garden. Whoever is there won't hurt him. He shows a very faint smile before talking. And in front of him, trying not to say a word so he doesn't get recognized, Tae listens.

- Thanks for my own flowers... but you should seriously get out if you don't want me to swing this thing at your head.

Taehyung rolls his eyes looking at him. A second a go he was crying and now he's playing tough with a cute bunny smile on his face. However, he obeys. It's not like he could do what JH asked him to. He walks past him being completely sure Jungkook has no idea who he is. Meanwhile, behind him Jungkook has to take a deep breath before going back in to the house. Because he really wants to get over the boy who's expensive cologne he could recognize anywhere...
