What's other way to describe whipped without saying whipped??

Simple--Just say 'Jungkook'

____________

Author's POV:

Jungkook slowly blinks his eyes, ridden with sleep. With half opened eyes, his arm reached out to find his mobile on nightstand.

He checks the time. 4:37 am.

He finds himself covered, but he doesn't remember pulling any cover over himself? In fact he doesn't even remember laying on bed at all.

But then it clicks him. Taehyung. He fell asleep in his embrace last night.

Oh God. Just how much more embarrassing it can get?

Had he really made it obvious how much Tae's closeness calms him to the point of falling asleep right the moment he is into his arms.

Jungkook wonders what it would be like to experience that warmth everyday? Everytime he wants? To have that privilege of having those arms around you.

He's not that lucky.
He knows it was just one-time thingy.

Their relationship with each other hasn't gotten to a stage-- where they could go around hugging each other freely.
Or that's what Jungkook thinks.

He sighs as his line of vision meets the person on the couch, cuddling to a pillow as always.

Out of many little things that Jungkook got to know about Tae in these days. One of them is him being a heavy sleeper.
And that's perhaps the very reason Jungkook- every other night-carries him to bed. To make sure Tae is comfortable in every way.

Strange thing is they don't talk about it in the morning.. it's like a silent agreement going on between both of them. But, one thing is quite confusing;

Why Tae still sleeps on couch? Knowing very well he would find himself on bed in the morning....!?

Is he just sticking to his words?
Or---- he actually enjoys this?

A smile plays on Jungkook lips at the thought as he slips one arm underneath Tae's back and other, underneath his legs, scooping him up in his protective arms as gently as possible.

A sleepy and very much pouty Tae leans his head to Jungkook's chest, unconsciously releasing a sigh of contentment.

Jungkook lowers him on bed very slowly not to disturb his peaceful slumber. But as he bends down, he gets a whiff of lavender and peppermint. Tae's smell.

Jungkook is extremely sensitive to all kinds of scents-one of the reasons he doesn't use strong cologne-but never in his life, he has met someone who smells even near as good as Taehyung.

But his smell doesn't drive Jungkook's mind crazy with lust, rather it clouds Jungkook's senses with a pure and serene feeling. He finds it soothing instead of alluring..

He tucks Tae properly and then goes back to couch wrapping himself in the comfort of Tae's scent that was lingering on the sheets there.

"Mom?" Tae asks, finding Aerum tiredly sitting in the living room, her gaze fixed at a frame in her hands. She is caressing it time to time with moist eyes

She gives a hasty wipe to her cheeks at Tae's voice and smiles a little as she turns to her son in law. "Oh Tae.. come here hun" She says, gesturing to the seat beside her.

Taehyung politely settles on the chair beside her, his eyes now focusing on the frame she is holding.

"H-how's my Kookie?" Her voice comes out shaky. Tae understands she's feeling guilty for whatever happened to Jungkook last night, she thinks it's her fault that she can't protect her son.

Tae's expression relaxes into concern for her as he scoots closer taking her hand gently, "Mom it's alright. Jungkook is resting now. I will go to office alone today."
He tells her.

Aerum let's out a sad smile "Tae, he won't go to your office anymore.."

"What do you mean Mom? He's co-" oh... he squeezes his eyes shut at the immense anger he feels through his bones, slowly invading every inch of his body.

"He said he'll appoint someone else. Jungkook doesn't deserve that position not after b-betraying him." She confirms. "Tae you have to be very careful. He wants your company"

"I won't let that happen mom. Don't worry" Tae assures " Either way it's only a matter of year. Our deal will end. He'll take his shares back. My company will stand on its feet. Lastly, Jungkook and I both will be freed from his sick games"

Aerum looks at Tae, her eyes having both hope and desparation for her own son "You will leave after the contract is over?"

She search for Tae's face about how he might react. Does he want to stay here? Does he want to give his relationship with Kook actually a chance or something?

But Tae avoided both her eyes and question. "Is it Jungkook?" He points at the frame instead.
Aerum looks at him sadly before averting her gaze. "Yeah both of my boys" she says, nostalgia hitting her.

Tae observes the kids in the picture. Jungkook looks probably 8 to 9 years old with his wide toothy smile on full display at the camera. Another boy of age about 13 stands close to him, his arm loosely draped around Jungkook's shoulder, looking at his brother fondly.

It's clear from the picture how close these two must have been.

Unknowingly Tae traces Jungkook's face tenderly. "He's adorable" he mumbles catching Aerum attention.

Upon realizing what he just did, he tries to divert the topic "so.. he never comes to meet you?" Tae asks, directing to Jungkook's brother of course.

That makes Aerum heart to ache. "It's been a year since I last saw him in person. We do call or facetime sometimes. Me and Jungkook" she explains.

Tae hummed "What's his nam-"
He was about to ask the name but their conversation is interrupted all of a sudden by a ring.
"Sorry mom.." Tae excuses himself, taking his mobile out of his pants pocket.

"Hello?"

"Hi partner"

Tae's brows scrunch together at the unfamiliar voice. He pulls the mobile back from his ear to look at id. It's an unknown number.

"Excuse me do I know you?" Tae asks.

"Not yet. But you soon will pretty"

Tae rolls his eyes at the name stranger used. Okay he's getting on nerves now.

"I don't have enough time to listen to your useless self. Don't bother again" he grumbles and was about to hang up but-

"You may be salty that the co Ceo of your company is not your husband anymore. But it doesn't mean you can talk to me like that"

Tae curses Jungkook's father for the millionth time. Did he really dared to appoint some piece of shit as the co Ceo beside him?

"Just tell me your fucking name" Tae says through gritted teeth.

"Park Bogum."
