Fallen (Taekook)

CH 10 - Vampires

The first time Jungkook slept over with Taehyung, they spent half the night talking and getting to know each other better. There were occasional breaks in conversation to make out and it was after 3am before Jungkook fell asleep with his arms wrapped around the angel.

Three months later, the two were nearly inseparable. Jungkook had been spending more time at Tae's apartment than his own, though he felt bad leaving Yeonjun alone. Taehyung invited Yeonjun to stay in a guest room, and Yeonjun took advantage of the offer a few times. Jimin was still staying at Taehyung's, but would go to parts unknown sometimes over night. During those times, Jungkook happily took care of the leopard cub. She was growing big and strong.

As for Jungkook and Taehyung's physical relationship, they were taking it slow. While Jungkook was perfectly content to kiss and cuddle the angel, Yeonjun was in disbelief that he didn't want more. He visited Jungkook in the café during a slow time so the two could catch up.  "You're telling me you haven't even seen him with his shirt off at this point?!" Yeonjun asked incredulously.

"What? I told you he's old fashion. He doesn't feel comfortable changing around me."  Little did Jungkook know that the real reason was because Taehyung wasn't quite ready to tell him the truth. Or more accurately, Jimin talked Tae into being extremely cautious about revealing too much.

"I'm just surprised that you haven't managed to sway him to your wicked ways." Yeonjun teased his friend.

"My wicked ways?! I'm pure as the driven snow," Jungkook responded almost as if he believed it himself.

Yeonjun choked on his drink at that assertion. "You're hardly pure. But you are a good guy, and I'm just giving you crap. Honestly, I really think he is perfect for you. So being sure is a good thing."

"I do really like him," Jungkook admitted.

""Like"? Seems more than that. You know you can be honest with me." Though Yeonjun hadn't spent a lot of time with his friend recently, they were still very close and they both trusted each other.

"Ok ... I am head over heels in love with Taehyung. He makes me feel ... so good I can't even find the words to describe it." Jungkook looked so happy as he admitted his feelings that it made Yeonjun momentarily jealous.

"He's your one," replied Yeonjun.

"He is." Jungkook smiled contentedly.

"Are you his one?" 

"I think so." Though they hadn't spoken about it, Jungkook was pretty confident that Taehyung loved him too.

"Have you said the "L" word to each other?"

"No. Not yet." Yeonjun's questions were causing various thoughts to enter Jungkook's head. Scenes flooded his imagination ranging from them falling madly into each other's arms to Taehyung telling him that he didn't feel the same way.

"Are you going to move in with him?" Yeonjun wondered. He thought that he would either need to find another roommate or an even smaller place if that happened.

"He's insinuated that I would be welcome to do so. But he still seems to be guarding something. I don't know what, but I feel like he's holding something back." Jungkook felt all along as if there was something that Taehyung wanted to tell him, but didn't for some reason.

"He and his friend are very different that's for sure. Maybe they're vampires or something?" The thought had crossed Yeonjun's mind a few times, but this was the first time that he said it out loud.

"What?!" Jungkook looked incredulously at his friend.

"Think about it. It would explain why he's so wealthy and able to collect all of that invaluable art. And also why he's old fashioned," Yeonjun reasoned.
