It's surprising how quickly things go to a normal Taehyung thought they'd never have.
He goes back to work and every day, mid-morning, after Jungkook wakes up – for the second time – he comes for a visit at the bakery.
He no longer buys bread though.
And every day, Taehyung feels the same butterflies when he sees him arrive, as if he didn't spend every hour of his life, outside work, with this man.
As if he doesn't know he'll always be doing it.
One Sunday, after leisurely love-making and silly breakfast with very messy pancake batter, Jungkook is washing the dishes when Taehyung walks in with a small box in his hands and eyes flashing in anger.
As soon as Jungkook sees the box, colour drains from his face. Busted.
"What is this?" Taehyung asks, annoyed hip jutting out, fingers spreading over the curve of it. "I found it in the laundry basket. In your pocket." He accuses.
Jungkook smiles, Taehyung is so adorable with his pouty lips and big eyes.
He feels bad for teasing but can't help it. "A box?"
"And this?"
Taehyung opens the box, yanks out the key and shoves it in Jungkook's face in an angry wave, pouting even more. The vulnerability in Taehyung's eyes is obvious. It's clear what's going on. Taehyung is jealous, he thinks this has something to do with someone else.
"A key?" Jungkook tries to look cute until Taehyung gives him the evil eye. "It's for you... us." He adds quickly, drying his hands on a small towel.
Immediately, annoyance turns to wide, puppy eyes and uncertainty.
"W-well, what does it open?"
Jungkook pulls Taehyung closer by the waist, tugging the lip away from the ruthless teeth with his thumb. The need to comfort is immediate.
He wraps a hand around the fingers holding the key. "This opens a flat upstairs. A bigger one. For both of us... if you want it."
Taehyung blinks at Jungkook and blushes sweetly when he understands what Jungkook is asking.
"Together?" Jungkook smiles at the small voice and nods.
"Well, I figured you wouldn't want to move away from here since you have your bakery and I thought I could have the other bedroom as an office... Say something."
Taehyung just blinks, biting at his lip again.
"The landlord said we wouldn't have to worry about deposits because it's the same guy who owns all of them so it would just be a straight swap. But I mean... I should have asked first, I'm sorry... It's no big deal, I didn't promise-"
"I'd love to..." Taehyung whispers, eyes welling with tears.
"You sure? It's just a suggestion, I was going to talk to you about it..."
Taehyung kisses the words right out of his mouth.
"When can we move in?"
Jungkook's smile is so bright, it squeezes the corners of his eyes.
"Whenever we want to."
Immediately, Taehyung runs to the front door, grabs his shoes, stops to look at Jungkook with a hand on the door handle as if to say well?
"You want to move now?" The tease is soft, Jungkook is totally besotted.
Taehyung laughs and runs back to him, only to kiss him breathless. Still hanging off his neck, he says:
"No, silly! I want to see it! Let's go, baby!"
He pulls Jungkook by the hand, grinning happily, and off they go to see the next chapter of their lives, together.
