Important Business

Part 12.1

Taehyung looked at the screen of his phone and smiled. Jungkook had sent him a picture of himself, standing at a shooting location outdoors, somewhere by a beach. He had that smolder on his face Taehyung could die for. He was such an attractive man and everytime Taehyung complimented him, he waved him off and blush adorned his cheeks. It was cute and he loved to tease him about it.
Several weeks had passed since the weekend in Sokcho, and the weekend after. They had spent Saturday exploring some other parts of Seoul that weren't too crowded. He had been in disguise again, so they could enjoy their time together. Jungkook was still tense when people spoke to Taehyung but he saw the effort that he tried to adapt to it. His protective instinct was big and Taehyung wondered if something had happened in the past, but he didn't dare to ask. Though he did solve the puzzle why Jungkook was reluctant at first and where his rule came from. Jungkook witnessed a relationship that began at work turn bad, when the couple split. It had been ugly until one of them left the agency. Taehyung could understand his reluctance, but it still didn't apply to them.
Sunday...It had rained all day and they had spent it mostly in bed exploring each other.

And now they were... Taehyung didn't know what they were. Neither of them labeled what they were. They spent their time off together, exchanged at least one text a day or talked on the phone, but their time was limited. Jungkook would leave in a few months again, probably after new years, and Taehyung would stay in Korea. So they were enjoying what they could and stayed in the moment.
Another picture came in, showing him a huge, freshly fried corn dog and the caption showed a winking emoji.

Taehyung snorted.
You want to tell me something?
The inappropriate jokes I could
make now.

The reply was a photo of Jungkook biting into the corn dog and Taehyung closed his eyes and shook his head.

You are so evil.

This was payback.

For what? I didn't do anything.

You were picturing your dick in
my mouth, didn't you?

Well... yeah. Wasn't that your
intention to torture me while
I am a hard working actor?

Since you can answer me,
I think you are on a break.
But no, it wasn't.
I love food, you know that.

Of course Taehyung knew that because Jungkook enjoyed eating a lot and when he really liked something, he got that angry face while chewing and started humming. Sometimes even moaning. It tested him every time they ate together.

I do.

Can we visit your Halmoni
again? I would like to eat there
with you once more.

Taehyung smiled. Jungkook was.... gosh, he had to be careful not to fall for him.

Sure we can.
We will finish filming in
a few days and then I will be
back. There will be promotional work
but I will be in Seoul.

Perfect. I need to get back.
Hoseok is giving me evil eyes.

Taehyung feels a tug on a strand of his hair and looks up, meeting Seokjin's eyes in the mirror.

Seokjin gives me the stink eye too,
Talk to you later, have fun.

An instant later, a kissing emoji was sent by Jungkook and Taehyung's stomach felt like he's going down a roller coaster at high speed. It wasn't the one with the heart, but it was after all a kissing emoji. Did he send it by mistake? Was it next to the V-sign he often used? And if so, who did he send kissing emojis to? It was better not to go down that route in his thoughts.
