Forbidden Love ➸ Taekook ✓

- Twenty-sixth -

Jungkook stood in front of the mirror in his room, watching himself carefully to see if there was anything wrong with his outfit. Today was the "big day", the day of the party organised by the Kim brothers' company. So, while waiting for Taehyung to arrive, Jungkook prepared himself meticulously.

The two of them hadn't seen each other much this week, either because of Jungkook's classes or Taehyung's work. With this famous party, he'd been very busy. He'd often come home after Jungkook had gone to bed, but the teenager had never missed the way Taehyung had taken him by the waist every time he'd joined him in bed, bringing the boy against him and whispering a few words of apology in his ear before placing a kiss on his temple.

And it was getting late. It really was. And Taehyung still wasn't there. Jungkook was worried. Because if Taehyung wasn't there, it could only mean one thing: he was still working. The man was wearing himself out, and Jungkook couldn't even stop him. He felt useless. As long as he remained hidden, he had no real power over Taehyung's life.

As if reading his mind, his phone vibrated, and it only took Jungkook a glance to see that it was his man. He picked up immediately.

"Hyungie?"

"My love, I'm sorry, I'm stuck at work again..." Taehyung sighed.

It was just as he thought. And his concern only increased when he heard the tiredness in the man's voice.

"Hyungie, you seem exhausted..."

He heard him laugh lightly, a warm, relieved laugh.

"Hm, but now that I've heard your voice, I feel better..."

He paused, suspecting that Jungkook was probably blushing. And he was absolutely right.

"Sweetheart, I don't think I will finish before the party starts, so I've asked Yoongi to come and get you. I'll meet you there..."

"Are you sure? I can wait for you hyungie..."

Taehyung shook his head, remembering just then that Jungkook couldn't see him. Tiredness was even beginning to attack his common sense.

"Don't worry, baby. Yoongi should be here in about twenty minutes, so take your time. And I promise, after tonight, I'll be all yours again."

Jungkook smiled a little. He'd missed his hyungie this week, especially after what had happened over the weekend. Taehyung was terribly angry at himself for abandoning him this week, but he'd been so swamped with work that he hadn't been able to do anything else. He intended to make up for it later.

"Okay, then. You'll have to take me for an ice cream, Hyungie."

"Hm, among other things."

The low, sensual tone he had taken made Jungkook shiver. Okay, he was a little sexually frustrated too. They hadn't done anything this week, and it was starting to get long. Especially as he was forbidden to touch himself when Taehyung wasn't around-

"Well, I've got to get back, darling. I'll see you later, okay?"

Jungkook nodded.

"Yes, see you later hyungie. I love you."

"I love you too, love."

They hung up and Jungkook turned back to the mirror. He had twenty minutes to do his hair; there wasn't a minute to lose!

When Yoongi and Jungkook stepped into the large room reserved for the party, the teenager was immediately locked in a powerful embrace, the scent of roses invading his nostrils.
