Part 17

The embrace doesn't stay innocent. Jeongguk has missed Taehyung too much, and Taehyung has been craving for his boyfriend for a while now. Their hands begin to roam on each other's bodies, touching where they can, and the kisses get hungrier by the second. How they manage to lock the door, or walk backwards to have Jeongguk sitting on the bed with Taehyung straddling his lap, without breaking their kiss, is something that can be attributed to the fact that they are Bangtan, there is nothing that they cannot do (I don't have another explanation handy!)

What I do know is that Jeongguk's possessiveness has taken over, and he wants to simply brand Taehyung as his . He's not thinking, acting on pure impulse. And Taehyung, for him it is like living his dream, feeling Jeongguk's grip tighten over his body, the soft yet intense demand of his lips on his own, the heady feeling that he has this effect on Jeon Jeongguk. Jeon Jeongguk - the love of his life. Taehyung always waited for this day, but he never really believed it would happen. That one day, Jeongguk will grow desperate to show him off as his. That one day, Jeongguk will be ready to fight the world for love - love for his Voo. That one day, Taehyung will feel Jeongguk's physical need to belong with him, and him alone. He never thought that the day would come. When he was on the verge of giving up hope, of starting to prepare himself mentally to see Jeongguk be with someone else, his life changed. And what a change it was. With Jeongguk's obsession of being the best, he knew he scored a boyfriend who's going to try and outdo all the boyfriends in the world. Being at the centre of his attention made him the luckiest person on earth, no?

Currently, however, said boyfriend is trying (and wonderfully succeeding, even if Taehyung doesn't have much experience ) to be the best kisser in the world, destroying Taehyung's lips with every ounce of feeling he has, and exploring his mouth like he's on a mission to find Aladdin's treasure. After what feels like forever, and not enough at the same time, they take a break, and immediately Jeongguk's face is buried in the crook of Taehyung's neck, inhaling his scent like its oxygen that he needs for survival... which soon turns into kisses, and then, it takes Taehyung a while to realise that he's going to have to wear clothes that cover his collar bones well for a few days. He isn't complaining. Not one bit.

In fact, what he's doing, involuntarily, is edging his boyfriend on with the way his grip in Jeongguk's hair has tightened, and it's almost like its Taehyung who's guiding Jeongguk's mouth to the places he wants to be touched at, and not the other way around. Well, they do work well together, that's not a surprise anymore. They're always in sync. And that's no coincidence either.

"Ggukie... Ggukie... Gguk?"

"Mmmm...hmmm? Huh?"

"Ggukie?"

"You want me to stop?" (He's breathless)

"No... I... Uhh... no?"

"Then?"

"Ggukie" (Taehyung whines)

"Yes my love?"

"Can I... can... mmm... would you mind if..."

"Mark me as yours, hyung"

On pure instinct, Jeongguk bares his neck and guides Taehyung to it, as Taehyung sighs, realising he just fell in love with this man all over again. When you're so attuned to each other, you just know.

Even as they keep touching, kissing, holding each other to express the intensity of their feelings for each other, they revel in the feeling that this is it for them - they both know that they're endgame for each other. Being idols, members of the same band, two men in love in a country not too kind to their kind, they know that the need to show their affection for each other physically will be restricted for them. They know they will have to hide their love. They know that it's not going to be easy. But they also know that it's them against the world - and not just the two of them, they know it's seven. That very knowledge keeps them rooted, secure, and functional. They know that once the secret is out in the open for the group, the other five will go out of their way to support them. BTS is their safe space, has always been, will always be.
