Soundtrack Chapter 1:
(Chapter fully re-edited October 2023)
To say that Jungkook has been looking forward to the Christmas holidays, is an understatement.
There is only one stop left on his journey home and that is to pick up his wonderful boyfriend (almost husband) Taehyung from the university library, so they can go home together and start their holiday celebrations.
They both studied here for their undergrad degrees years ago, so the place is familiar to Jungkook, but it's always a little strange to be back after so long. He is proud to support Taehyung, who is fulfilling a long-time dream of his to come back to university for postgraduate study.
After he saw Jungkook's photographer career slowly take off, he was inspired to finally go and chase after his own dream and now, he is only a few months away from completing his Master's degree. His dedication to his studies is why he is at the library after everyone else has already gone home for the holidays.
Jungkook drives through the large, silent campus. It's strange to see no one around when normally, given any time of day, there are swarms of bodies pressing through the streets with tight faces and heavy bags, whatever the weather. Now, the paths are empty and the place has a strange air reminiscent of post-apocalyptic dystopia.
There is a small car park with a single car right outside of the large, modern building with tall windows and wonky corners. It's the only place that still has lights on.
Jungkook parks the car and heads inside. Dressed all in black, in his bomber jacket, combat trousers and big boots, he looks like he could still be a student here. His hair is longer now than it was back then – and he has more tattoos.
The automatic doors hiss quietly to permit entry. He has been here enough times for the person behind the counter to know who he is, she merely nods toward the escalator leading upstairs, where Taehyung has taken to studying. Her tired smile is tinted with gratitude, she's probably keen to start her own holidays.
Since it's almost closing time, other than the long-suffering librarian, there is not a soul in sight.
The quiet suits Jungkook's plan to perfection.
Taehyung sits in between the sparsely scattered fake plants with his head too deep in his studies to even notice Jungkook heading toward him.
The quiet, beige-toned corner is muffled with soft carpets, there is a set of arm chairs huddled around a low table currently stacked high with books and then there is Taehyung, a man simply too beautiful for this world. Even after all these years, Jungkook's insides flip at the sight of him.
The focused figure doesn't look up when Jungkook approaches, his steps silent on the textured floor. In his cream knitted jumper and khaki slacks, Taehyung suits the place, looking soft and relaxed, his thick black glasses resting low on his nose. The dark, tousled hair, the honey skin, the full lips that always seem to be begging for kisses... yes, Jungkook still doesn't know how he got so lucky.
He sighs like a teen in love when long, graceful fingers push the glasses back up, Jungkook must have seen the little move more times than there are stars in the sky, yet it still squeezes him all funny inside.
It's the perfect opportunity. Yet doubt niggles inside Jungkook when he notices how tired his boyfriend looks.
