36. Secret

Third Person POV :

Heart is a cage where you confine your emotions and desires. The longer you try to deny them and suppress them, the more those unexpressed emotions and hidden desires yearn for liberation from the cage.

You can lock them only for a certain limit, and if you try to hold them back more than you can they find a way to break free in the most threatening way. Just like the air in a balloon that bursts when it finds a small way to escape.

Once you accept your emotions you can find peace with your desires. Otherwise you'll be caught up in an eternal struggle of desires and fears. However, in this conflict of emotions, most of the humans let their fears win the battle at last. Jungkook is not so different.

Jungkook was so disgusted by himself at the fact that he tried to touch Taehyung. He had been denying his feelings for the brunette and ignored the way his heart fluttered everytime Taehyung was in a close proximity. He didn't realise that only pushed him to the edge to a point where he couldn't restrain himself anymore.

It was the next day when he woke up with Taehyung's face so close up to his face almost inhaling each other's breath. The tips of their noses were almost touching each other's and lips inches apart. Still in the daze of sleep and an urge to feel those luscious lips against his lips, he leaned in slowly further and further until their noses brushed against each other.

He really wanted to retreat when he realised what he was about to do. But when he saw the brunette licking his lips in his sleep making them more glistening and thus, inviting, he let his desires win and moved forward placing his lips on Taehyung's, feeling the softness. Before he could move his lips, the alarm went off piercing through his ears that broke his half conscious state.

His actions made him question his own senses and sanity. He quickly took his mobile and tapped on Hoseok's contact but decided against it and dialed Jimin and asked him to come immediately. Jimin was Taehyung's friend whom he knew before Jungkook. So Jimin was the correct person now.

Thus, Jimin was there with them right now and the three were having their breakfast. Jungkook was silent while the two childhood friends were talking about all the random stuff and giggling.

"So, Jungkook, what's so urgent? You didn't tell me yet." Jimin asked his friend when he noticed his silence who replied shrugging "It's nothing urgent. I just wanted you to come and spend time with him."

The other two smiled at that and went back to their conversation filling the room with giggles and laughter. Jungkook felt a little jealous but nonetheless relieved seeing the brunette smiling happily. He could also see how Jimin was trying to be all cheerful but his eyes gave away the guilt he was still feeling inside.

"Stay here for a few days and take some rest. I'll supervise the work at the office. You can come when your presence as CEO is needed." Jungkook said but Jimin disagreed "No, Jungkook, you don't need to. I'm all good now. I can manage. Eunwoo had to take a lot over him. I need to show up at least now."

"Tae wants to spend time with you too... don't you?" The ravenette turned to Taehyung at the last words. Taehyung nodded eagerly. In excitement to spend time with his friend, he didn't realise where this was going. Jimin finally agreed and Taehyung squealed and pecked Jimin's cheek thanking him.

Jungkook frowned at this action as he remembered something. "Wait....so you are that pervert hyung?" He asked as realisation hit him.

"YAH!! Jungkook! Why would you say that? Why am I a perv here?" A very offended Jimin asked.

"Why would you ask him to kiss you?" Jungkook retorted. "I would have known soon... I wondered why it sounded familiar when he said kiss for a thanks.... you asked me the same too. Why did I miss the hair colour?" Jungkook still dread the days he was forced by Jimin to dye his hair because Jimin wanted to show his parents that even an obedient kid gets a hair colour.
