Long Lost Brother

Breakfast

Jungkooks "quick nap" turned into the rest of the evening and until like 5am. He rubbed his head and looked at the clock on the bedside table. "Oh Fuck...Janes friend..." he groaned and changed out of his fancy clothes and into a pair of sweats and a long sleeve black t-shirt. He made his way downstairs to get some water.

He took out a pretty fancy cup and poured some water for himself. His parents definitely seemed to be better off financially than they used to. Based on the upgraded...well everything. Even the cups.

He wiped his mouth and decided he'd go on a run. He made his way from the kitchen towards the living room where the front door was. He made it outside and took a deep breath.

The smell of his home country. He started on a route around the block.

Last night Jane had asked Taehyung to sleep in her bed with her since Jungkook seemed like he was too deep in sleep. He didn't mind at all.

He slept perfectly fine. That is until around 6 am he started to get restless. He gave up on sleep and made his way towards the bathroom in his room. He noticed that Jungkook wasn't in there and assumed he was...well somewhere else. He went to the bathroom and did his morning routine.

He was using the airpod in his ear for music as he did his skincare so he couldn't hear when someone entered the room. He was in the bathroom connected to the room.

Jungkook didn't notice any sounds due to his own music and just started stripping out of his sweaty clothes. He was tired of feeling it after an hour of running. He put on another pair of clean sweats.

Taehyung walked out of the bathroom in his sleep shorts and his sweater. He stopped in his tracks when he saw a shirtless stranger. This immediately caused him to shriek in surprise.

"Oh my god I'm so sorry- I-I'm Janes friend, I had to use the bathroom, and I didn't see you in here." He tried to cover his eyes as best as he could.

Jungkook quickly threw on his shirt and gave a shrug. "It's okay,..it's partly my bad too. I didn't notice you in there..you can look now, I'm clothed. And I don't have cooties."

Taehyung blushed furiously in embarrassment. "Hi..I'm Taehyung."

Jungkook reached out his hand to shake taes hand which confused tae.

"Oh I'm sorry..it's a US custom," he then bowed instead. "Sorry...I've been gone for so long I just..I'm Jeon Jungkook..."

Taehyung nodded and inspected him from top to bottom. He didn't look like some trouble maker. But he guessed a lot could happen in 7 years. "Sorry for taking over this room..you can totally have it back."

Jungkook was quick to deny the offer. "No it's okay I promise. As long as you don't mind me using the closet and bathroom then I can totally use the cot in the living room."

Taehyung thought he was quite a gentlemen. "Well thank you then...How kind of you."

Jungkook grabbed his watch off the night stand and checked the time. "Hungry?"

Taehyung nodded extremely fast. "God I am..,"

Jungkook fastened his watch on his wrist. "Let's go pick up breakfast for everyone.?"

Taehyung grabbed his arm. "No sir. We're gonna cook breakfast together." Jungkook groaned. "Bold of you to assume I cook. My boy- well ex boyfriend used to cook all the time..I never got the hang of it,"

Taehyung was taken aback to hear Jungkook refer to an ex. That and a boy ex. "You're into boys?"

Jungkook washed his hands after Taehyung did and made a surprised noise after Tae tossed him an apron. "I'm just into people. I'm pansexual."

Taehyung nodded and started get out all of the ingredients. "Well I'm as gay as the day is long." He snickered at his own joke.

Jungkook finished putting on his apron and walked over towards Taehyung. "What are we making anyways?"

"We're gonna make a traditional Korean breakfast. You've lost some of your roots I'm afraid" he teased.

He gave him some vegetables to cut up. "Tuck your fingers as you cut so you don't lose a finger."

Jungkook listened to all of his instructions and got curious. "So you're gay. Do you have a boyfriend?"

Taehyubg laughed unusually loud on accident. "Oh god no. I'm so single it's really sad. I flirted with this one guy awhile back, but he turned out to be a walking red flag. He was secretly taking pictures of my feet."

Jungkook cringed hard and shivered in disgust. "Dogded a bullet there huh?"

Taehyung was cooking up the rice and humming a little tune. "It sucks to be single when the holidays are approaching. But I have your family. I love them."

Jungkook finished up the vegetables and handed them to tae. "They're all cut. What now?"

Taehyung put them in a pot. "We are now gonna steam them." He proceeded to do that while making small talk. "You going to school?"

"Oh no..I already have a job." He leaned against the counter and crossed his arms, unintentionally showing off his veiny arms.

"What's your job?" He leaned against the kitchen island opposite of him.

"Can't say. It's top secret." He half joked. "What about you?"

Taehyung checked on the veggies and then added some sauce to them. "I go to Uni, I'm half way through college. I'm hoping to become a writer."

Jungkook was intrigued by this. "How old are you...?"

Taehyung finished up and started to plate the food. "I'm 22. You?"

"I'm 25. That means I'm your hyung." He found himself relaxed with Taehyung. He was extremely grateful that he found a friend already.

"Oh shush. That also means I could call you Oppa." He snickered at the weird face Jungkook made.

"Oh gosh that's kinda cringe." He noticed how taes pretty long hair flowed down after he took it out of his sleepy bun. Wow...this boy was gorgeous. he can't be thinking of someone else,..his goal is to wait on Jake until he was ready to come back to him. What was he thinking? He just met the dude. Oh but he's got pretty tan legs too..

Taehyung snapped in front of his face. "Hello.? Earth to big tough guy.? You're zoned out. Food is done. I alerted everyone that breakfast is ready."
