Ignore the mistakes plz :)

Third Person POV

Jeongguk had recovered from the hit very quickly. Though, he admits it was certainly not a pretty start and would leave nasty would for a few days but fuck that when there's an embodiment of sin and sex on legs of a man standing in the crowd and looking at him like he wants his insides rearranged right there and then.

Kim Taehyung is surely full of surprises even with the most mundane things and Jeongguk absolutely, madly loves him for that.

Taehyung's demeanor doesn't change throughout the fight. He once even smirks when Jeongguk gets yet another hit on a stomach. Well, certainly Jeongguk would love to know what was do impressive about his opponents hitting him.

Jeongguk wins and the thunderous applause is all around but Jeongguk's eyes are simply on Taehyung who's timidly clapping with a cheeky smile and a dangerous glint in his eyes.

Jeongguk tilts his head towards the changing rooms, giving his hint all so clear but Taehyung only rolls his eyes and keeps standing in crowd while conversing with Eunwoo. Jeongguk didn't even see him there.

Jeongguk pokes his inner cheek as his boyfriend has the audacity to keep looking at him while Eunwoo tells him something and it feels like a deja vu of sorts, only this time, he is going to have Taehyung for himself later.

He gets out of the ring and walks towards his changing room while Yoongi hands him a towel. He takes a quick glance behind him and watches Taehyung getting away from the crowd and then continues walking towards the room.

Taehyung watches Jeongguk leave before signalling him to follow and he knows being a brat like this will lead to---well he'll know what but he won't deny that it isn't exhilarating and fun because fucking hell, it is.

"You two left your jackets in the club on Jin's birthday. They're in my car, take them before I forget and take them back again." Yoongi says as Taehyung reaches him.

"Will do." Taehyung says. Yoongi goes to the room where the rest are and Taehyung walks towards Jeongguk's changing room.

His heartbeat is thundering with every step he takes and the thrill of what's to come is just too much that Taehyung already feels goosebumps on his body.

Taehyung stops for a moment when he's a few steps away from the room to catch his breath and calm his nerves even though nothing has even happened yet but it's always like this when with Jeongguk. It's always exciting and exhilarating.

He doesn't get to take another steps when there's a hand holding his arm and turning him around so fast he can't even fathom what has happened for a few seconds.

He comes face to face with Jeongguk who's looking at him with those obsidian eyes that look like they've accepted the challenge, the fire in them already burning Taehyung so good.

"You fucking brat." Jeongguk mumbles with a voice so deep that Taehyung becomes putty in his arms and lets himself be thrown over Jeongguk's shoulder and carried inside the room.

Taehyung gasps when his back collides with the door rather hard and he knows all that he'll be getting now would be no soft Jeongguk and he's all on for it.
