Chapter 14 : Jungkook's Secret Desire

The next morning, Taehyung woke up to find Jungkook still snuggled against him, his face peaceful and serene.
Taehyung smiled, running his fingers through Jungkook's hair, relishing the quiet moment.

Last night's intensity still lingered in the air, but Taehyung couldn't shake the feeling that there was more to Jungkook's clinginess than just their shared desire.

As Jungkook stirred awake, he blinked sleepily at Taehyung.
"Morning, Tae," he mumbled, his voice raspy with sleep.

"Morning, Kookie," Taehyung replied softly. "You seemed like you had something on your mind yesterday. Was it just...what happened last night?"

Jungkook's cheeks flushed a soft pink as he sat up, rubbing his eyes.
"Actually, there's something else I wanted to ask you," he admitted, looking slightly nervous.

Taehyung's curiosity piqued. "What is it, Jungkook?"

Jungkook took a deep breath, gathering his courage. "I know we've been really close, but I want us to take our relationship to the next level. I want us to be official, Tae. I want hyungs to know that you're mine and I'm yours."

Taehyung's heart swelled with emotion.
He had always known there was something special between them, but hearing Jungkook's heartfelt confession made it even more real. "Are you sure, Kookie? This is a big step."

Jungkook nodded, his eyes filled with determination.
"I've never been more sure of anything in my life, Tae. I love you, and I want everyone to know it."

Taehyung smiled, his own feelings mirroring Jungkook's. "I love you too, Jungkook. Let's do it."

With their decision made, the two of them got ready for the day, feeling a new sense of excitement and anticipation.
They knew the rest of the members would support them, but they were still a bit nervous about making their relationship public.

As they joined the others in the kitchen for breakfast, Jin was, predictably, the first to notice something was different.
"You two look like you're glowing," he commented with a wink. "Something you want to share?"

Jungkook glanced at Taehyung, who gave him an encouraging nod. "Actually, yes," Jungkook began, his voice steady.
"Tae and I have decided to make our relationship official. We're together."

The room fell silent for a moment before erupting in cheers and congratulations. Namjoon clapped them on the back, Jimin and Hoseok hugged them tightly, and Yoongi offered a rare smile of approval.

"We were waiting to finally hear this but we're happy for you both," Namjoon said warmly. "You deserve all the happiness in the world."

Jin, always the joker, couldn't resist. "Just don't let your love get in the way of our practice, okay? We still have a world tour to prepare for!"

Everyone laughed, the atmosphere light and joyful. The support and acceptance from their friends made Taehyung and Jungkook feel even more confident in their decision.

Throughout the day, Jungkook couldn't help but be extra affectionate, stealing kisses and holding Taehyung's hand at every opportunity.
It was as if a weight had been lifted off his shoulders, and he could finally be his true self.

As the evening approached, the members gathered in the living room for a movie night. Jimin, ever the instigator, decided to play matchmaker. "Let's pair up! Taekook, obviously, Namjin, and Yoonminseok," he announced, winking at the last trio.

Yoongi groaned but didn't protest, secretly enjoying the playful banter. "I swear, Jimin, you're the only one who gets away with this."

Hoseok grinned, draping an arm around Yoongi's shoulders. "You love us, admit it."

Yoongi rolled his eyes but couldn't hide his smile. "Yeah, yeah."

As the movie started, Taehyung and Jungkook cuddled together on the couch, feeling more connected than ever.
Their friends' support meant the world to them, and they knew that whatever lay ahead, they would face them together.

Jungkook nuzzled Taehyung's neck, whispering, "Thank you for being mine, Tae."

Taehyung turned his head to kiss Jungkook softly. "And thank you for being mine, Kookie. I can't wait to see what the future holds for us."

With their hearts full and their love out in the open, Taehyung and Jungkook settled into the comfort of their friends and the warmth of each other's arms, ready for whatever new awaits them.

"Well everything is good and all but did you guys really thought we can't hear you both last night...

"-shut up jimin-ah!"
