"Hey you" Jungkook chimed softly at the elder who was putting his cigarette out,
turning his full attention to the boy walking over.
"Hey Kook" Tae muttered back, looking at the boy straight into his eyes.
Jungkook stood in front of him, with them being at a comfortable distance.

But something in Taehyung changed, something in his heart told him to ignore his mind for once and follow his gut feeling. So he stood up and walked closer to the younger.

His hands slipped to the younger's waist, bringing him closer to his body, making Jungkook blush hard and hold the elders chest in surprise.
"Is this okay?" Taehyung whispered out nervously, while also worrying that Jungkook could feel his racing heartbeat.
He's not usually a nervous guy, but the fear that this could all go wrong, only made it more nerving.

"Yeah, this is fine" Jungkook looked up at him and gave him a comfortable smile, showing him that he wasn't going anywhere.
Taehyung breathed out quickly, relief that Jungkook didn't feel uncomfortable by the sudden closeness.

Silence surrounded them as they looked into each other's eyes. Taehyung could see the whole galaxy in the boys eyes, while Jungkook could see fondness in the elders. The night was unexplainable. A lot of emotions has suddenly been spread out, all in one go. The feelings had been growing silently and loudly burst all at once, which is not what a 'normal' relationship is like.

But we already knew this wasn't going to be a 'normal' relationship. Although the feelings had been growing unknown to either of them, Jungkook had found out some of Taehyung's biggest secrets which he had been able to hide from everyone. Jungkook had seen Taehyung at some of his most vulnerable states only a few months into knowing one another. It wasn't a normal relationship, but that's what makes it so real. This is why their feelings are so real.

"You're so beautiful" Taehyung whispered, rubbing his thumb in small, gentle patterns on the younger's clothed hip.
"As are you Taehyung" Jungkook replied trying to ignore the heat growing to his cheeks, by slowly moving his hands from his boss's chest to around his neck.

Tae ducked his head down and rested his forehead against the others. The pair shut their eyes, soaking up the warm feeling they had as they embraced each other again.
"Can I kiss you?" Taehyung spoke softly out of his mouth.
Jungkook bit his bottom lip gently in excitement and nerves, but nevertheless he nodded, "please".

Taehyung brought one of his hands up and cupped the younger's face delicately. He looked at the younger one last time before moving his face closer and pressed his lips to Jungkook's soft ones which were coated in a cherry lip balm. Jungkook's hand went to the back of Taehyung's head allowing his fingers to play with Tae's hair as they moved in sync.

The contrast of Jungkook's lip balm, the subtle taste of cigarette and the lingering sweet tasting alcohol, mixed between their mouths. Jungkook didn't like the idea of smoking himself, but the taste lingering on his lips from Taehyung made his stomach flip and his knees shake. It was hot, so hot.

They pulled apart, both having small smiles on their faces while catching their breathes back, before they moved back in and connected their lips together. Taehyung sucked on the boys bottom lip softly, waiting for the younger's reaction, which was him gasping. Taehyung slipped his tongue in and explored the boys mouth, allowing Jungkook to suck on his tongue every now and again.

When they decided to pull away, before they got carried away, the two panted in an attempt to catch their breath.
"That was hot" Jungkook giggled breathlessly.
"Fuck you have soft lips" Taehyung traced his finger over the younger's bottom lip while also licking his own lips, taking in the feeling he just felt.

Jungkook laughed and gently pressed his lips onto the elder again but this time it was only a little peck. He then wrapped his arms around the elders torso and hugged him tight, placing his head against his chest while Tae just held him close.

"Do you want to go back inside? Or do you want to go home?" Taehyung asked.
"Can I come to yours? It's a longer walk to mine" Jungkook questioned, looking up at him with hopeful eyes. No desire, no lust, just hope.
"Sure" Tae chuckled at the boy.

You might think they are both plastered. But they are not, in fact, although the alcohol was still running in their system, adrenaline also acted in force making them sober up quickly. And although they aren't completely sober, they were aware of what they were doing and they did have control of their actions.

The pair went in doors and said goodbye to everyone, with Jackson giving Taehyung a wink the duo left and walked to Taehyung's apartment. They walked side by side, being only a few centimetres away from one another. They weren't touching hands or anything like that, they were just walking. Taehyung had his usual expression on, but he really wasn't feeling it on the inside.

They went to Taehyung's penthouse and stood outside the door. Taehyung sighed and his hands began to shake as he put the key in to the door of his penthouse. Jungkook noticed and took the elders hand into his own. He took the key himself and opened the door, while giving Taehyung a squeeze of the hand.

"It's okay" Jungkook reassured.
He wasn't going to judge, not then, not now, not ever.
Taehyung nodded his head and they walked in. There again, was a few empty bottles on the counters.
Taehyung looked down in shame. He hated this.

Jungkook noticed it again, he stood in front of the male and placed his hand on the man's cheek. He rubbed his thumb against the elders cheek softly, looking up at him.
"Tae, it's okay. Don't be ashamed" Jungkook pulled the elder along and to his room, as he already knew the way.

"Shall we sleep? We've got work tomorrow" Jungkook suggested, ruffling his hair softly.
"Yeah that sounds good" Taehyung nodded. "Do you want to freshen up?"
"Yeah sure" Jungkook replied.
"Okay well I'll grab you some clothes while you wash." Taehyung said passing him fresh towels.
"Yeah sure thank you" Jungkook pressed a small kiss to the elders cheek and went into the bathroom.

Taehyung ran around the penthouse grabbing empty bottles and new bottles, hiding them in places which Jungkook wouldn't see. Once everything was hidden he ran back upstairs and grabbed some clothes for the younger. He took a pair of shorts and one of his tops.

When they both finished up cleaning, Taehyung looked at the boy in his clothes, looking beautiful as ever.
"I'll sleep in the spare room, you can take my bed" Taehyung suggested rubbing the back of his neck awkwardly.

The alcohol had worn off quite quickly, and they were feeling more shy and awkward around each other.
"No no it's okay, it's your room, I'll take the spare room" Jungkook smiled, stopping the elder from leaving.
"I'll see you tomorrow okay" Jungkook kissed his cheek and left the room to the spare one.

They settled down for the night and drifted to sleep. But due to the alcohol wearing off Taehyung didn't have his peaceful night and again was trapped in a memory.

Jungkook woke up feeling very thirsty and went to grab a drink. But as he was in walking back to the room he passed Taehyung's room and heard whimpering.
Again this wasn't the first time, Jungkook had encountered this, so he quietly opened the door and slipped into Tae's room.

He walked to the elders bed and saw him covered in sweat and tears. Jungkook's heart broke looking at him so he silently laid on the bed were there was enough spaced and guided Taehyung's head to his lap. Jungkook brushed his fingers through the boys hair and caressed his face to discard the few tears which has escaped.

Jungkook heard a small sigh from the boy and felt Tae latch onto his body, hugging his legs while pressing his face into Jungkook's thighs. Jungkook giggled at the scene and thought it was cute that he reacted like that in his sleep. But the best of it his cries had stopped and he didn't whimper in pain.

Whatever Taehyung had been through must have been traumatic to make him have nightmares like these. But Jungkook promised himself he was going to try to help Taehyung, even if it was the last thing he does. He wants to help him, because Taehyung was becoming someone special to him and he wanted to see him happy.
