The close knit position of their naked bodies under the blanket was the word of honour Namjoon needed to feel there was someone with him in his inexplicable state of mind. His one arm was stretched on the bicep of which Jungkook had his head rested and the other was circling the younger's waist. After the afternoon session, Namjoon found a text from Taehyung stating he will be gone for some work. This gave him more time to spend with Jungkook who didn't have a second thought before attempting to be under the producer.

It's almost midnight now when they got out of their haze. Namjoon lost all his control whenever he was with the other and there was no remonstrance from Jungkook either. This was doubtlessly the longest they have been together.

"I'm sorry for going overboard." Namjoon said rubbing his hand on the bare skin of Jungkook.
"It was fine." He turned sideways towards Namjoon with hand placing on the elder's shoulder.
"Thanks for being there, Jungkook."
"How many times would you repeat that?" Jungkook said chuckling in a tired voice. He knew this was his place, this is where he should be, in Namjoon's arms.

"Can I ask you something?"
"Yeah."
"Have you been with someone else while we weren't-"
"No." Jungkook responded in a straight tone locking his eyes with Namjoon's.
"Have you?"
"I wasn't myself these days, just work and home, that's all."

Jungkook closed his eyes in relief and buried his head in the elder's neck.
"When is the next court date?" He asked in a mumbling tone referring to the other's ongoing divorce with his ex wife.
"25th of next month."
"So, four more weeks. Do you want to me to go with you?"
"It will raise unnecessary questions. They can pull you into the mess and no good will come out of it."

Jungkook raised his head and pecked on Namjoon's lips before asking, "What do you want, Namjoon? If your ex wife apologises to you and agrees to give this marriage a chance, will you accept her?"

Namjoon's answer should be positive. He is still in love with her even after all the evidences of her debauchery were presented in the court by Jimin. He is not ready to accept permanent separation from Sa-ra, but he is not able to answer to Jungkook's question instantly either.

"I don't know!"
The half hearted answer won Jungkook's heart all over again.
"You will get through this time, Namjoon. I will visit you everyday from now on."
"I can't just-"
"I'm willing to."

The charm and beauty of the person would always stir up uncontrollable sexual urge in the billionaire's body. Self resistance has failed every time he touched the chiseled yet curvy body of the younger. Towering over that beautiful body, he started kissing on his lips with passion.

Jungkook extended his hand to put the framed picture of Namjoon and Sa-ra down. It would always haunt him while having sex with the man. Namjoon might be still fostering some unexplained hope to get back with his ex wife, but for Jungkook, Namjoon was the only person in his life who was aware of his true version.

"Are you serious, hyung?"

Taehyung exclaimed at his boss right after Jungkook left in the morning. He bumped into the other while entering and the fresh red hickeys on neck and upper chest couldn't escape from his hawk eyes through the few loosened buttons of Jungkook's shirt. It was inappropriate for Taehyung to ask anything, hence the anger had to be vented on Namjoon.

"Good morning, Taehyung. Want to have some breakfast? Jungkook prepared French toast." Namjoon gestured his manager to sit across the table after gulping a sip of coffee. Taehyung took the seat, unable to ignore the delicious smell coming from the food. Taking a big piece of toast and drizzling some honey on it, he started talking with mouthful of food.

"I hope you know what you are doing, hyung."
"What do you mean?" Namjoon got confused for a moment.
"About Jungkook. His neck is looking like a report card of your exam."
"You were staring at him?"

Taehyung's chewing stopped at the realisation that his boss was being jealous of him for taking a look at the man who happens to be his friend with benefits. Swallowing the food messily with some water, he expressed his further concern.

"Are you jealous?" His eyes, lips and brows all supported the same interjection making Namjoon astounded at his own words. No words came out at first, gradually he started making gibberish noise, finally able to form the actual sentence.
"I'm not jealous! But you shouldn't be checking out other's-"
"Other's what, hyung? Other's boyfriend?"

Taehyung wasn't teasing the elder. He was more concerned of Namjoon as well as Jungkook who seemed to be a nice person to him.
"I knew you guys would do something stupid, that's why I left yesterday but didn't know he would spend the night here. Don't you think this is a little off the limit?"
Taehyung sighed in frustration and leaned on the table with his elbows at the edge of it to read Namjoon's reaction who didn't utter a single word ever since the younger in the room made use of the word 'boyfriend'.

"Hyung, I understand you are going through a very rough phase and feeling a bit relieved when Jungkook is with you. But I hope this is the same feeling from Jungkook's side as well. You know what I mean?" Taehyung softened his tone this time.
"You think he expects something more from me?" Although it was portrayed as a question, Namjoon knew this was a new fear unlocked for himself.

"What if he does?" Taehyung countered back.
"Then I guess I should talk to him. I cannot let him get hurt because of my pleasure." Namjoon said staring at his coffee mug while his mind was picturing the beautiful face of the discussed person.

"I think that would be a matured act, hyung. Everything with Sa-ra noona is taking a toll on you, I don't want you to run towards a new problem while trying to run away from the old one. If you genuinely feel something for Jungkook, then I won't interfere, but if you are just finding solace in him with no intention to face the consequences, then you need to talk to him. If he is in this on a casual mindset just like you, then that also you should confirm."

"He said so when we started-"
"That was few months ago but yesterday I saw him actually caring for you. Feelings are unpredictable, hyung. What if he is changed now and doesn't look at you like a casual hookup?"

Namjoon nodded his head in silence agreeing to each word coming out of his manager. Facing the truth is the manly way to handle the situation.

"I will talk to him."

Jungkook knocked on his father's office cabin door before barging in. Jun-ho didn't protest when his son texted him of staying over at a friend's place last night. He missed him at the breakfast table where he was stuck with his obnoxious wife as Jungkook is the source of light in his mundane life after Seokjin left.

"Good morning dad."
"Good morning Kookie. How was your stay?"
Jungkook's slow and limping steps were not unseen to his father, but there could be a bunch of reasons behind those.
"It was good, I will be visiting my friend often. He is going through a lot." The son sat on the couch instead of the chair as the aftermath of last night was overbearing.

"Are you okay? You look kind of exhausted."
"I'm fine dad. I just want to talk to you on my next assignment."

The day was hectic due to all the paperwork Jun-ho assigned to him, but every now and then he would check the time with an idiotic smile lingered on his lips in the excitement of seeing Namjoon again in the evening.
