Love Again

23

The morning sun streamed through the curtains, casting a soft glow across the room as Seokjin slowly blinked awake. He stretched lazily, expecting to feel Jungkook beside him, but the space next to him was empty. Confused, Seokjin sat up and rubbed his eyes, his head still a little foggy from the events of the previous night.

He heard soft grunts and the sound of weights clinking coming from the living room. Curious, Seokjin slid out of bed, still dressed in the wrinkled clothes from their night together. He padded to the doorway and peeked into the living room, where he spotted Jungkook, completely drenched in sweat, finishing up his early morning workout.

Jungkook's muscles rippled with every movement, the sweat glistening off his tanned skin. His tattoos—intricate designs running down his arms and chest—stood out against the sheen of sweat, making them look even more striking. He was shirtless, his toned abs flexing as he worked through a set of push-ups, completely immersed in his workout.

Seokjin blinked, a little taken aback by the sight. Jungkook was always attractive, but seeing him like this—focused, muscular, and covered in tattoos—was something else entirely.

Jungkook must have sensed Seokjin's gaze because he suddenly stopped mid-push-up and turned his head, flashing a playful grin. "Good morning, hyung," he called, his voice slightly breathless from the workout. "Enjoying the view?"

Seokjin rolled his eyes, though he couldn't hide the small smile tugging at his lips. "You're unbelievable, you know that?"

Jungkook stood up, wiping the sweat off his forehead with the back of his hand as he walked over to Seokjin. "I could say the same about you," he teased, stepping closer until they were inches apart. His chest still heaved slightly from the workout, his breath warm against Seokjin's skin.

Seokjin tried to ignore the way his heart sped up at the sight of Jungkook standing there, shirtless, his muscles and tattoos on full display. "You're already up working out? After last night?"

Jungkook chuckled, his eyes glinting with mischief as he leaned in, his lips brushing against Seokjin's ear. "I needed to get the energy out somehow... unless you're offering me another way."

Seokjin's cheeks flushed, and he playfully shoved Jungkook's chest, though it barely made a dent in his firm, muscular body. "Are you serious? I'm still sore from last night."

Jungkook laughed softly, wrapping his arms around Seokjin's waist and pulling him closer. "Come on, hyung," he murmured, his voice low and teasing as his hands roamed over Seokjin's body. "You know you love it."

Seokjin groaned, his resistance quickly crumbling as Jungkook's lips found their way to his neck, planting soft kisses that made Seokjin shiver. "You're relentless," Seokjin muttered, but even as he complained, his body betrayed him, leaning into Jungkook's touch.

Jungkook's lips curved into a smirk against Seokjin's skin. "Maybe, but you like it," he whispered, his voice deepening as he trailed his kisses lower.

Seokjin whined softly, half-heartedly trying to pull away. "I'm really sore, Kook," he protested, though his voice lacked conviction.

"I'll be gentle," Jungkook promised, his hands sliding down to Seokjin's hips, gripping them firmly as he pressed his body against him. "Just trust me."

And despite his sore muscles and the lingering exhaustion from the night before, Seokjin found himself giving in once again, unable to resist the pull Jungkook had over him. His protests melted away as Jungkook's lips met his in a slow, heated kiss, and soon, the morning workout turned into something much more intimate.

Despite Seokjin's initial whining, they both ended up tangled in each other once again, their playful teasing turning into something more passionate as the morning unfolded.
