A fish, when thrown out of water, will flap its body rapidly. It would flail around in search for water. The slime on its skin would start to dry and its mouth would part, gasping for water. The gill arches of the fish would soon collapse, leaving its blood vessels no longer exposed to oxygen. It would suffocate and die a slow, painful death.

Jin was in the last phase of suffocation, having admitted defeat that he would never be dampened by Taehyung's touch. He was turning into an arid land, parched and cracked under the scorching heat of wolves he encountered on the way. But he had probably reached his destination now, because all he could feel was torrential rain drenching him through Taehyung's lips.

It is said that touch is the first language we speak and that every touch has a memory. A simple touch can be the best and worst way to express oneself to others. The same touch which hurt and terrified Jin minutes ago brought immense pleasure and happiness to him now. How contradictory his heart was! He didn't feel the fear anymore. He didn't have the urge to push Taehyung away. Instead, he wanted to attach himself more to Taehyung. He wished Taehyung to be more aggressive and more passionate with him.

Jin smiled through the kiss when Taehyung's lips caught his tongue in between them and sucked it ferociously, forcing it out of his mouth. He was breathing hard and fast, trying his best to return the mind-boggling kiss as efficiently as his hazy mind could let him. However, Jin had always been weak to Taehyung, especially when the elder touched him like he was the most delicate flower. Taehyung always gave him the warmest hugs, no matter how intimate the moment was, like now, even when he was being devoured belligerently, Taehyung's hands held his body like he was cradling a new born baby.

Jin felt himself leaning closer to Taehyung, as if it was possible with how close they were standing near each other already. His fingers raked through Taehyung's densely populated hair, while Taehyung's hands were wrapped around his waist securely. He could feel Taehyung's long fingers caressing his lower back with care before grabbing him tighter. Jin hissed softly when Taehyung's nails dug into his skin over his shirt and he did not like the fact that there was something separating him from Taehyung, no matter how thin or sparse it was.

On the other hand, it was a free fall for Taehyung. He didn't know how deep he was going or how fast he was falling. All he knew was that his boy was in his arms and that he was returning the kiss. And that's all it took for Taehyung to forget all his anger and madness. He released Jin slowly to apologize, only to have Jin chase his lips and kiss him again. The way Jin trembled when he moved away showed how vulnerable the younger was at that moment, and Taehyung instantly took Jin back into his arms without any hesitation.

Taehyung could still remember the shy pecks that Jin gave him during their first night together. Back then, both were very young and there was an essence of innocence in their love-making. They were both nervous and excited. It was a night full of wants, desires and hormones. But now, both were desperate and impatient. Both were emotional and unstable. Both were in need of an assurance from the other. It was more of a need than a want for them, and Taehyung doubted if this was the right way to take things further without addressing the giant elephant in the room, which was their unresolved feelings.
