Fated hearts ( taekook ff )

chapter 26

Jungkook: What did he say?

Taehyung: He's out of town.

Jungkook: Where do we go now? We have no place to stay.

Taehyung: We need somewhere to rest, at least for tonight. Maybe we can find a cheap motel or something?

Jungkook: Not a bad idea, but can't we just go to a hotel?

Taehyung: Hotels are too expensive. Motels are cheaper, and we don't have much money.

They begin walking through the dimly lit streets, trying to come up with a plan. The streets are empty, and the cold night air adds to their uncertainty.

Jungkook: (Looking around) We can't just keep wandering like this.

Taehyung: There isn't any motel nearby, so we'll need to search a bit more.

After searching for a while, they finally find a small, rundown motel. The neon sign flickers above them as they approach the front desk.

Motel Clerk: (with a smirk) Welcome to Lovers' Haven. How can I make your night special?

Taehyung: (awkwardly)Uh, we just need a room for the night.

Motel Clerk: (raising an eyebrow)This place is more for... couples, you know? Are you sure you're in the right spot?

Jungkook: Y-Yeah, we're sure.

Motel Clerk: A room for the night, huh? Alright then. Can I see your IDs?

Taehyung and Jungkook exchange nervous glances before handing over their IDs.

Motel Clerk: So... are you two a couple?

Jungkook: What?! No, no, we're just—

Taehyung: (cutting him off)Yeah, we are.

Motel Clerk: (with a smirk) Who's the top then?

Taehyung quickly snatches the key from the clerk, bowing slightly before grabbing Jungkook's hand.

Taehyung: Thank you for the key. Let's go, Jungkook.

Motel Clerk: (calling after them with a smirk) Room 12, second floor. Enjoy your stay, lovebirds.

They head to their room, both feeling a mix of embarrassment and relief.

Jungkook: That was... something.

As they enter the room, the door creaks loudly behind them, adding to the uneasy atmosphere. The room is small and modest, with a single bed in the center, a nightstand with a flickering lamp, and an old TV mounted on the wall. The wallpaper is peeling at the edges, and the carpet looks worn from years of use.

Jungkook: Well, it's... cozy?

Taehyung: (forcing a smile) Yeah, cozy. At least we have a roof over our heads.

They both stand awkwardly in the middle of the room, unsure of what to do next.

Jungkook:So... are we really going to sleep in the same bed?

Taehyung: (hesitating)We don't have much choice, do we? Besides, it's just for one night and we dont have couch.

They both start to get ready for bed in silence. Taehyung takes the left side of the bed, while Jungkook hesitantly takes the right. They lie down, facing opposite directions.

As they lie in bed, the silence between them becomes charged, the small space amplifying the unspoken emotions. The dim light from the nightstand casts a soft glow over the room, accentuating the tension in the air.

Jungkook turns slightly, facing Taehyung's back. He watches the rise and fall of Taehyung's breathing, his mind racing with thoughts he doesn't quite know how to express. The room feels warmer, or maybe it's just the proximity—lying this close to Taehyung, he can feel the heat radiating from his body.

Taehyung shifts, turning onto his back, his eyes half-closed but very much aware of Jungkook's presence beside him. He can sense Jungkook's gaze on him, and it sends a shiver down his spine. His hand brushes against Jungkook's accidentally, the brief contact sparking something that neither of them can ignore.

Taehyung: (in a low voice) You okay?

Jungkook: (swallowing nervously) Yeah... just thinking.

Taehyung: About what?

Jungkook: (hesitating)About how close we are.

Taehyung's breath hitches at the honesty in Jungkook's voice. The space between them feels impossibly small, and the air is thick with tension neither of them dares to acknowledge out loud.

Taehyung: (barely a whisper) It's not... uncomfortable, is it?

Jungkook:(shaking head)No. It's just... different.

taehyung:softly i think we sould sleep its past night
