[Jungkook x Taehyung] Bloodlines and Ties

//9

Taehyung sat on the edge of the bed, still restless. Jungkook, noticing his discomfort, suggested, "If you can't sleep, why not work on that portrait of me we talked about? It might help you relax."

Taehyung looked thoughtful for a moment, then nodded. "You're right. Drawing might help clear my mind. Let me just get my sketchpad."

He went to his desk and retrieved his sketchpad and pencils. Jungkook watched with interest as Taehyung set up his workspace. "I know you wanted to get your stolen items back," Taehyung said as he started drawing. "But I guess this is a good way to keep my mind off things."

Jungkook leaned against the desk, observing Taehyung's focused expression as he worked. "I'm curious to see how you'll capture me," he said with a teasing grin. "Just make sure it's flattering."

Taehyung chuckled, "Oh, I'll do my best. But remember, you asked for it."

As Taehyung sketched, the atmosphere between them grew more relaxed. Jungkook occasionally offered light-hearted comments and jokes, which helped ease Taehyung's nerves. The drawing session turned into an unexpected bonding moment, allowing Taehyung to focus on something productive and enjoy Jungkook's company in a more casual, friendly manner.

Taehyung finished the drawing in about half an hour, his focus evident in the meticulous details of the portrait. He carefully examined the final touches, ensuring it was just right before handing it over to Jungkook.

Jungkook took the sketch, his eyes scanning the portrait with a mix of surprise and appreciation. "Wow, Taehyung. This is really impressive," he said, a genuine smile spreading across his face. "You captured me well. I didn't think you had it in you."

Taehyung blushed slightly at the compliment. "Thanks. I'm glad you like it. It helped me take my mind off things," he admitted.

Jungkook looked at the portrait again, nodding. "It's even better than I expected. I'll make sure to keep it safe."

Taehyung sighed with relief. "Good. I guess that means we're even now?"

Jungkook's smile widened. "Yeah, I suppose we are. And thanks for letting me stay over. I appreciate it."

As Taehyung went to put away his drawing materials, Jungkook continued to admire the portrait, clearly impressed. The moment was a rare, peaceful one between them, a brief respite from their usual tension and rivalry.

Jungkook, his gaze lingering on the portrait, leaned in and offered a soft kiss on Taehyung's cheek. "It's really awesome, Tae," he said, his voice filled with genuine admiration.

Taehyung's cheeks flushed a deeper shade of red at the unexpected gesture. "Th-thanks," he stammered, trying to keep his composure. The warmth of Jungkook's kiss lingered on his skin, making his heart race a little faster.

Jungkook then moved to sit on the bed, his relaxed posture in stark contrast to the earlier tension. "Why don't you come sit here? We can talk or just hang out until you feel sleepy," he suggested casually, his tone inviting.

Taehyung, still a bit flustered, hesitated for a moment before joining Jungkook on the bed. As he settled down, he couldn't shake the feeling that this was a different side of Jungkook—a side that was more genuine and less confrontational.

They sat in comfortable silence for a while, the only sounds being the occasional rustle of the sheets and the distant hum of the night. For a moment, it felt like they were just two people, sharing a quiet, peaceful moment together.

Taehyung, trying to ease the lingering tension and find a distraction from his racing thoughts, suggested, "Hey, how about we watch a movie together? It might help take our minds off things."
