Author's POV:

Slowly as the effects of alcohol started to leave his system with the cold water that cascaded down his body, it was time for the certain things to sink in...

Jungkook being Jungkook, prolonged his shower as much as he could. Hoping desparately for Tae to be asleep before he gets back to the room. Just so he could avoid interaction. He knew it was meant to happen sooner or later. But he needed more time to prepare himself.
Just a little more...

At the moment, Jungkook was facing a kind of heartache that's hard to put into words--- a combination of fear, sadness, and a longing for something that might never be.

He catches himself imagining scenerios where things could have been different for him...

Where Taehyung was not the CEO of company making this deal with his father's.

Where Taehyung was not his long term high school crush whom he had to get fake married for a year but ended up falling for him.

Where he is an ordinary boy and so is Tae.

Where they are dating and living a happy life like many other couples of their age.

Where they both are in love.

But sometimes life has it's own plans and it's a hard pill to swallow. You might wish that circumstances would align in your favour but there's a sort of beauty in the way life take unexpected turns.

You fall head over heels for someone you are not supposed to. Your heart feeling intense affection for someone you don't know can reciprocate the same or even fraction of it. You understand that circumstances and other commitments stand in the way....putting this invisible wall of distance between you two. It's like wanting something so bad but also being in terms with the fact that it might never happen.

Loving someone you can't have is like having a beautiful story written in your heart but fearing that it's pages might never be fully read.

And yet in the midst of all this sadness, it's a reminder of your capacity to love with all your heart, even when it unbearably hurts.

It's a reminder that emotions can be very messy and complicated and maybe, just maybe that's what makes us human;

Our ability to love, even in the face of heartache.

After 45 minutes or so, Jungkook finally decided to stop hiding in the bathroom, a soft sigh of relief making it's way out of his mouth when he saw silhouette of Taehyung under the covers with eyes closed.

He tried to be as quiet as possible while getting onto the bed and slipping under the blanket, turning his back to Tae and scooting at the farthest end of bed. He didn't have it in him to get close to Tae without knowing what the other thinks about him now.

Oh how much he wanted to tuck his face between Tae's chest and chin like he do usually and have his husband's gentle  fingers comb through his hair, easing Kook into soothing slumber like every night.

Jungkook was in desparate need of comfort and solace. But the irony is-- the only person he wanted to seek it from was the very reason of his restlessness and nervousness.

What if Taehyung only ever wanted to maintain this platonic campanionship between them for the time he is forced  to spend with Jungkook?

What if his confession scare Tae away?
