Fallen (Taekook)

CH 7 - First Kiss

Over the next couple of months, Jungkook and Taehyung went on several dates. The two were growing closer with every passing day and found it harder and harder to be apart. However, during this time, Jungkook was unable to get answers to all of his questions, mainly because he would either forget to ask or Taehyung would not answer forthrightly.

For example, when he asked Taehyung why "angel" songs always played when he came into the café, the beauty just smiled. When he asked him how old he was, Taehyung just asked him how old he thought he was. He was always cryptic with his responses or would say, "I'll tell you everything some day."

Jungkook was in his room getting ready for another date. Tonight they were going to a movie, so he was changing into jeans and a t-shirt. Yeonjun watched from the doorway, "Are you seeing a romance or action movie?"

"It's a rom com. Taehyung likes romance movies more than action." Jungkook smiled as he pulled on a black t-shirt and a bucket hat.

"Are you finally going to kiss him tonight?" Yeonjun knew that even though the two had gone on several dates, they only ended up hugging. He thought it was well past time that one of them made a move. Yeonjun had gone out with them a couple of times and could tell by the way they acted that they had strong feelings for each other.

"What's it to you?" Jungkook turned to his roommate and arched an eyebrow. "He'll kiss me when he's ready." He did wonder why Taehyung hadn't tried anything yet. He knew that the older man was a bit old-fashioned with regards to physical contact. Not to say that they didn't do anything. Often while sitting together, Taehyung would caress Jungkook's fingers and from the reaction it caused, you would think he was doing something much more salacious than just that.

"What?! Since when were you afraid to make the first move?" Yeonjun knew good and well that Jungkook was not afraid to kiss and occasionally have sex with someone even on the first date. "Is it because you haven't dated a man before?"

"I've dated a man before!" Jungkook said, stretching the truth some. During some high school parties, he did have a few drunken make out sessions that kind of counted.

"Don't lie, I know you too well for that." Yeonjun met Jungkook through their mutual friend, Soobin, who had grown up with Jungkook. So before Yeonjun agreed to become roommates with him, he got the low down on him, including all of his dating and hook-up history. "If you don't kiss him soon, I'll do it."

"You wouldn't dare!" Jungkook glared at Yeonjun. He did not enjoy the thought of Yeonjun making a move on Taehyung. Especially not before he did. He didn't even like Yeonjun joking about it.

"You'd better do it first, because if I have to listen to you whine for another week about how you've only held his hand, I'll do it myself." Yeonjun was grinning as he watched Jungkook get irritated. He figured it was a small price to pay, if it worked to get Jungkook to first base.

"Calm down. You know I would never do that to you." Yeonjun gave his roomie a light punch to the shoulder. "But seriously, if you want to talk about anything, I'm here for you."

Jungkook's phone buzzed indicating that Taehyung was downstairs. He slid his shoes on and turned to Yeonjun, "Thanks. I know you're trying to help. Of course I'll come to you if I need advice about...you know."

During the movie, the two men held hands and whispered into each other's ears. Taehyung's lips brushed Jungkook's ear several times, which sent shivers down Jungkook's spine. He was barely paying attention to the movie, since Taehyung's caresses were too distracting. All Jungkook could think about was kissing the angel. He was determined that today was the day, at least in part because of Yeonjun's threat.
