Fading Away | Taekook

12 - Thoughts

Taehyungie is here.

Jungkook receives the notification on his phone when Taehyung enters his condo (the younger gave him the passcode so the boy can access the parking lot).

The elevator doors opens and Jungkook walks towards the spot where Taehyung must have parked.

From distance he watches Taehyung pick up his backpack as he walks towards him. Wearing a gray hoodie, a cap and a pair of sweatpants, he had never seen the boy in this casual outfit before and yet he manages to look elegant. So boyfriend material.

Stop.

One hand in his pocket and the other holding a small potted plant. His eyes turning in crescent moons as he approaches with a big boxy smile.

Fucking beautiful.

With a hug the boys greet each other and Jungkook guides the brunette to his apartment.

It is a spacious very monochromatic decorated apartment, all in shades of white, gray and black. But obviously Jungkook managed to reflect a little of his personality in the decorations of the fancy place. Taehyung murmurs little "wows" as he enters the living room with his small baggage. Approaching the window he admires the view of the busy street seeming so far away, since Jungkook lives on the 17th floor.

"For you", Taehyung says, handing the small mint pot into the younger's hands, "please keep the plant alive and healthy", he said while also handing the tattooed man a small bottle containing mint essential oil extracted by himself, "This is wonderful, you can put it in a humidifier or apply directly to the skin for massage, if you have a headache, apply it to your temples. Trust me"

Jungkook's butterflies were more alive than ever.

The ravenette guides a short tour through the apartment until he shows Taehyung his suite. Jimin's old room seems better than any hotel room Taehyung has booked in until today.

"From now on you stay here whenever you need to come to Seoul, ok? It doesn't make sense to pay for a hotel when I have so much space here in the apartment. And besides, if you really accept the job we can go to work together", well, Jungkook practically just informed the older so there was nothing to discuss.

This tattooed young man is just so cute.

As the duo talks and Taehyung settles in, the sound of the doorbell echoes through the apartment and Jungkook has a sudden bad feeling.

And he's right.

"Move, bitch", as soon as the ravenette opens the door, he is run over by a tipsy Jimin (judging by the blush on his cheeks) dragging an apologetic Yoongi by his hand into the apartment.

"Where's he? Oh heeey! Nice to finally meet you! I'm Jimin and this is my handsome plus sexy boyfriend Yoongi," the blonde holds Taehyung in a hug like he known him for years and Taehyung reciprocates with the same warmth, smiling widely and giggling.

Fucking Butterflies.

"We're here to invite you both to our apartment for a hangout and some drink. Please come, Jimin is too much for me to handle alone today", Yoongi said with pleading eyes.

The group then crosses the building's hallway and goes to the couple's apartment, Yoongi pulling Jungkook to help him with appetizers while Jimin and Taehyung sit on the couch and talk.

"Now I know why Jungkook won't shut up about you, you're even more handsome in person! And you're very tall too."

Taehyung's smile gets even bigger when he hears that the ravenette talks  about him to his friends. It makes him not feel alone since he also doesn't stop talking about the boy to Jin.
