Love Me Again...

Chapter 25: Dimple

"Kookie, how do you feel?" Tae asked with concern while reaching for the switch for the bedside lamp, "Was it too much?" "It was everything I hoped it would be," Jungkook whispered as he slowly sat up. Tae helped him sit up and then put on his own pants. "Don't get up yet. I'll get a bath ready for you," Tae said as he made his way to the bathroom, "It'll help relieve any sorness that you might feel." He returned clutching a warm wet towel. "Let me clean you," Tae asked, waiting for permission. Jungkook slowly nodded. Tae carefully sat by Jungkook and lowered the sheets. He gently wiped off Jungkook's abdomen. Jungkook automatically leaned his head back, gasping at the feel of Tae's soft touch with the warm towel. "Careful Kookie," Tae drawled, smirking "Don't tempt me again! I won't be able to stop myself." Jungkook couldn't help but giggle as Tae made his way back to the bathroom to check on the bath.

"The bath's ready," Tae called out from the bathroom. Jungkook slowly shifted and sat up at the side of the bed while putting on his pants. "Are you feeling sore?" Tae asked wearily, making his way to Jungkook's side. "A little bit," Jungkook winced as he gingerly got off the bed. "I'm sorry, Kookie" Tae mumbled, his arm reaching to support Jungkook. "Don't be sorry, Tae hyungie," Jungkook muttered with a gentle smile, looking into Tae's eyes, "This was my first time. We both knew I'd be sore. The bath will help." In the bathroom, Jungkook was glad to see that Tae had laid out some towels, soap and a robe. Tae helped him with his pants and guided him into the bathtub. "Aahhh," Jungkook sighed as he settled in the tub, "This feels good. The temperature is just right." Tae smiled, adding, "I'll go see if Jiminie has something for soreness since he always travels with a first aid kit."

Tae knocked on the adjoining door. A few minutes later, Jimin opened the door looking worried. "What's going on, Tae?" he asked with concern on his face. "Do you have any pills for pain or muscle soreness?" Tae asked after stepping into his soulmate's room. "Is everything okay?" Jimin asked with alarm while turning on some lights. "We're both fine, Jiminie," Tae mumbled while staring at the floor, "We just... Oh God! This is awkward. Do you have it or not?" Jimin squinted his eyes in suspicion and then finally understood the situation. "Are you serious?" Jimin asked wide eyed, "It happened tonight? You two actually did it? With me sleeping on the other side of this door?!" Tae nodded, unable to find the words to answer Jimin's barrage of questions. "For his sake, I hope you were gentle," Jimin smirked as he looked through his first aid bag for medication. Tae struggled to hide his embarrassment. "Here, give him one tonight and if he's sore tomorrow, he can have another dose tomorrow morning. Now go take care of him," Jimin advised before ushering Tae out of his room.

By the time Tae walked back into the bathroom, Jungkook was putting on his bathrobe. "You're already done?" Tae asked, watching Jungkook staring at his clothes, "Need some help?" Jungkook nodded, "Yes please, Tae hyungie. Did you get the meds?" Tae nodded while helping him put on his pants and carefully guided him back to bed. Before getting into bed, he gave him the med. After taking a quick shower, Tae got under the covers and slid close to him. He pulled him close and hugged him, nuzzling close to his neck. "Thank you for tonight, Tae hyungie," Jungkook mumbled, kissing Tae's forehead and hugging him back, "Thank you for taking such good care of me. Sweet dreams." "I'll be dreaming of you, Kookie," Tae drawled as he dozed off. Jungkook smiled and played with Tae's silky soft hair until his eyelids felt heavy. Soon both of them drifted off to sleep, dreaming of each other.

The next morning Jungkook woke up before Tae. He smiled when he noticed their position in the bed. He was almost at one corner with Tae taking up the majority of the giant king sized bed. Jungkook was lying flat on his back with Tae's head on his chest and his arms wrapped tightly around his abdomen. Jungkook reached for his phone and started scrolling through his emails with one hand, while with the other hand he absently started spearing through Tae's hair. A few minutes later, he felt Tae stirring so he put his phone away and focused on him. As last night's events flashed in his mind, he couldn't help but blush. He could still feel Tae's soft and gentle touch all over his body. He slowly turned to face Tae and placed a tender kiss on his forehead. Tae slowly opened his eyes and peered at Jungkook. "I feel like Sleeping Beauty, being awoken by a kiss by my Prince Charming!" he quipped, yawning.
