Chapter 98

A/N:

Hey my people. 

I wanted to complete the bit in the past with this chapter, which is why I didn't upload this chapter on Sunday. But I just couldn't find time these couple of days to do any writing. So I'm uploading this now and in the next chapter we'll wrap it up and get back to the story-line in their present time.

Keep in mind, this is criminally unedited. I can't imagine how many mistakes or shifts in the tenses there are. If you spot anything, feel free to point it out so I can fix it once I start editing the book. 

Please comment if you like the chapter and give me your feedback. 

With that said, please enjoy~

Jungkook left it alone. Of course he did. V's statement had left no room for discussion, and by the looks of it, speaking of whatever darkness had an apparent hold on his heart was a fast way to fuck up his mood. If being groped was a walk in the park then whatever this was, it wasn't something to discuss halfheartedly, under the influence of alcohol.

"You know what? You absolutely did the right thing." – V expertly changed the conversation topic back to Jungkook – "You have one life and you do owe yourself a chance at happiness. Living with someone you do not love or in the very least have any physical attraction to, only to appease your parents and their expectations of you is a crime against yourself and a one-way ticket to depression. Do not, under any circumstance, convince yourself at any point that by choosing yourself and your own happiness over their satisfaction is wrong. And don't silence yourself, ever, out of fear of being not being accepted. The people who want you in their lives will surely stand by you no matter how much you deviate from their values on your journey."

Jungkook listened to V's advice intently and gratefully. Hearing those words weas never something he expected to be possible. For the first time since he could remember he wasn't hiding, and he was seen. He was seen and accepted for what he was and who he was.

"Now. Since we got the important bits of emotional blah blah-s out of the way, let's circle back to the most important piece of information that was unveiled." Jungkook stared at V in suspense. "You are gay... As am I... Ain't that something?" – V held his gaze unyieldingly as he spoke in slow but sure words, his voice sultry once more, an instantaneous shift from what it was a moment ago as he advised the boy. That voice was performing that sensual dance yet again on the surface of Jungkook's ever thinning resilience against V's ever increasingly bold advances.

What was he trying to imply? Jungkook was afraid to make assumptions because he wasn't sure what he wanted all this to mean. What he was sure of was that his entire body responded to V like it was compelled to. As he visibly gulped down the aftertaste of V's words, the latter dared to watch that sexy Adam's apple make its way up and down the front of Jungkook's throat. V's tongue gave his lips a little lick in response.

It was a tease-fest.

Nothing, no amount of logicality would have had the power to stop the next words out of V's mouth.

"Another drink?"

Another drink would change the course of the rest of the night. It would either fuck them up enough to mute the noisy, raging tension or give V the push he needed to take Jungkook for himself and give Jungkook the courage to let him. Another drink was a must.

V's intense, unwavering gaze ignited feelings in him, feelings he was never given the opportunity to explore. Jungkook wasn't sure he had the guts to go ahead with taking a step into uncharted territory without some more of those drinks.

"Yes. Can we do some more shots?"

"We can do anything you're comfortable with." – V wasn't sure if Jungkook understood the meaning of his words. Would he be able to read between the lines? He guessed he'd have to see.

V returned with their shots and the first of the two were drunk in no time. The conversation started again soon after.

"So what are you planning to do when you have to face your parents again?" – asked V, genuinely interested in the answer, regardless of the already slurred speech that now matched Jungkook's.

The boy sighed – "I really don't have a single idea as to how it's all gonna go. I might have bit off more than I can chew."

"That's not true. I'll tell you what you're gonna do. You are not going to go back wearing a sad face begging for approval. You're going to stand your ground and make them understand that this is non-negotiable. Okay?"

Jungkook could only nod. Now this was guidance. He learned the difference now. Yes, he was told what to do, but he had a choice now and his own wants were taken into consideration now.

V quickly drank the second shot and Jungkook followed his actions.

He could tell he was very drunk. What was it they said? Drunks never admitted to being drunk? Well ask Jungkook, he'll tell you the truth; he was very, very drunk.

V could not take it anymore. He needed to make his move. In a quick motion he slid his palm over Jungkook's hand that was resting on the couch they were seated on.

The tension grew thicker, so thick, Jungkook's lungs were about to collapse. He couldn't help trying to pull his hand away. He was scared and this was all very, very new.

V tightened his grip on the boy's hand. It was time; he had to make his intentions absolutely clear – "What are you afraid of?"

Jungkook's heart was pounding mightily. He knew it; he knew exactly what the answer was.

"Everything I've never known." – Jungkook's voice was small and shaky.

"Take a leap of faith and let me show you everything you've never known and more. I don't need the alcohol. The question is: do you?"

The truth was V's statement was false. He didn't need the alcohol because it already had a hold of him. He was thriving off of the boost in confidence that came with drinking. He might have been very out there and unafraid of adventure, but something about Jungkook was daunting. And if he were to be very honest, what was scaring him was the chance that Jungkook would decide to let this night be what it has been so far, a night of flirtatious conversation. After all, this was Jungkook's very first time actually exploring his sexuality.

Jungkook didn't need the alcohol either, because just like V, he was already fully under its influence and from that point on there was one thought on his mind... He could blame it on the alcohol later.
