Someone to me

Part 18

...

Heart pounding, Taehyung sprang into action, scrambling to compose himself. He quickly straightened his clothes and attempted to look nonchalant, all while trying to gauge the identity of the newcomer.

Just as he managed to school his features into a neutral expression, the bedroom door swung open. In walked none other than Yoongi

T: Yoongi! What brings you here so early?

He kept a firm grip on the bedside railing, using it as a barrier between himself and the unwelcome visitor. His gaze flickered briefly to Jungkook, still fast asleep, before returning to focus on Yoongi with an air of calm detachment. Despite his best efforts, Taehyung felt a twinge of anxiety at the sight of Yoongi.

T: Well... This is unexpected...

He remarked dryly, crossing his arms over his chest. Forcing himself to maintain eye contact, Taehyung studied Yoongi closely. There was something about the way he carried himself - confident and self-assured - that irked Taehyung.

T: So... What brings you here so early?

He questioned again, keeping his tone casual despite the tension coiling within him.

Y: Nothing taehyung just wanted to check on you, I've been calling you since yesterday but you didn't replied. Soo I came here *said yoongi *

Y: And I wanted to ask some days off, jimin isn't feeling well..

Taehyung raised an eyebrow at Yoongi's explanation, finding it hard to believe that such a typically lazy individual would bother coming all the way here just because he hadn't responded to texts.

T: Oh really? *He questioned skeptically, maintaining his composed facade.* That's quite the change of heart...

His gaze flickered momentarily towards Jungkook before returning to fixate on Yoongi.

T: But if Jimin needs help... *Taehyung conceded grudgingly,*...then I suppose you should take care of him.

Y: thanks tae ill see you in office.. by

Watching Yoongi depart, Taehyung released a heavy sigh. Relief washed over him, knowing that he had narrowly avoided disaster. However, a lingering unease persisted - the knowledge that Yoongi might return unannounced at any moment.

Turning his attention back to Jungkook, Taehyung allowed himself a small smile. Despite the interruption, he felt grateful for the precious moments they had shared together.
Leaning in close, he pressed a feather-light kiss upon Jungkook's forehead.

T: Rest well, my love... *Taehyung murmured tenderly.* I'll be here when you wake up.

With those parting words, he settled back into the chair beside the bed, content to watch over Jungkook as he slumbered peacefully.

Even though he knew it was probably for the best, the idea of having Yoongi underfoot made Taehyung uneasy. Especially considering their current circumstances.

After some time

Feeling a rush of warmth at the sight of Jungkook stirring awake, Taehyung pushed himself up from his seat. His heart pounded in his chest as he approached the bed, eager to see the dawning realization in Jungkook's eyes.

T: Good morning...

J: morning

He greeted softly, his voice laced with tenderness. Reaching out, Taehyung gently brushed a hand through Jungkook's hair, taming the disarray left by sleep. A soft smile played upon his lips as he took in the sight of Jungkook blinking groggily against the bright light filtering through the window.*

T: How do you feel? Did you rest well?

His fingers traced along Jungkook's jawline, savoring the sensation of skin-on-skin contact after what seemed like an eternity apart.

J: I did..

A genuine smile graced Taehyung's face at Jungkook's response. He couldn't help but feel a sense of relief wash over him, knowing that his beloved was feeling better.

T: That's good to hear...

He murmured, allowing his hand to linger upon Jungkook's cheek for a moment longer before reluctantly pulling away. Glancing towards the window, Taehyung noted the position of the sun in the sky. It was later than he had initially thought, and he knew that he needed to make arrangements for work soon.

T: I'm afraid I can't stay much longer...

J: whyy??

He admitted regretfully, his gaze returning to meet Jungkook's.

T: But I promise I'll come back as soon as I can.

J: hmm were are you going??

At Jungkook's question, Taehyung hesitated for a brief moment before responding.

T: I have some business to attend to...

He explained vaguely, not wanting to reveal too much just yet. However, the intensity of Jungkook's gaze compelled him to offer a bit more information.

T: It's nothing urgent, but I need to handle it today. I shouldn't be gone long, though.

Taehyung's thumb absently stroked across the back of Jungkook's hand, seeking comfort in the simple touch.

T: Can I trust you to wait for me here until I return?

J: of course you can.. but don't take too much..

Hearing Jungkook's reassurance, Taehyung felt a wave of relief wash over him. He leaned down, pressing another gentle kiss onto Jungkook's forehead.

T: Don't worry... I won't keep you waiting for too long.

He promised, his voice low and soothing. Pulling back slightly, Taehyung gazed deeply into Jungkook's eyes, imprinting every detail onto his memory.

T: Remember, I'll be back soon.

With those final words spoken, Taehyung turned to leave the room. As he did so, he glanced back once more at Jungkook lying there in peaceful repose.

J: Oki..
