✔️I know What I Want

6. Bold talk

Seokjin had been feeling the distance for days. Every time he had a free moment, Taehyung was busy. And when Taehyung tried to reach out, Seokjin’s phone was often off due to his military schedule. Today, with a few minutes to spare before dinner, Seokjin found himself fiddling with his phone, hoping for a moment of connection. As if on cue, his phone rang.

It was Taehyung.

His heart fluttered, but he quickly glanced around. He didn’t have much time, but cutting Taehyung off? Impossible. "Just a minute," he promised himself before accepting the call.

"Hi Tae," Seokjin greeted warmly, trying to contain his excitement.

"Hyung, thank God you answered. I thought we wouldn’t be able to talk again today," Taehyung said with relief, his voice carrying a note of frustration.

"I thought the same... almost missed you," Seokjin replied, smiling at the thought of them trying so hard to connect.

"How are you doing?" Taehyung asked, his tone softening.

"Great. Everything's going well here," Seokjin responded, trying to keep things light even though his heart was heavy with the longing to see Taehyung.

"You’re enjoying it?" Taehyung probed further, his voice curious.

"Definitely. And you? How’s everything going on your end?"

"I’m in Madrid right now, shooting," Taehyung said casually.

"Wow, Madrid! Beautiful place, right?" Seokjin asked, a tinge of jealousy coloring his voice. He wished he could be there with him.

"It is," Taehyung agreed, before adding, "And the people I’m with... they’re different."

Seokjin raised an eyebrow, intrigued. "Different how?"

"They’re not afraid to talk about anything. There are no boundaries... they’re open about what they like," Taehyung explained, his voice a mix of curiosity and amusement.

Seokjin laughed softly. "That sounds... interesting."

"You know what they talked about during dinner?" Taehyung continued, his voice dropping slightly as if he were about to share a secret.

"What?" Seokjin asked, fully invested now.

"They were talking about their sexual preferences," Taehyung confessed, his tone playful yet hesitant.

Seokjin blinked in surprise. "Woah... that’s pretty... open," he chuckled, not quite expecting the conversation to go this direction.

"Yeah, one of my colleagues said he prefers, uh... receiving," Taehyung said, his voice lowering further.

"Receiving?" Seokjin asked, genuinely confused.

Taehyung let out a breathy laugh. "Let it be."

But Seokjin wasn’t about to let it slide. "Are you hesitating to share with me?" he teased lightly.

Taehyung hesitated, then asked, "You really want to know?"

"Of course," Seokjin replied, though now his heart was starting to race. He wasn’t sure where this conversation was heading, but the tension in the air was undeniable.

"He said he prefers bottoming... rather than topping," Taehyung finally said, the words hanging in the air.

Seokjin’s face flushed with warmth. His pulse quickened, and he could feel the blood rushing to his ears. They had never discussed such intimate topics before, and hearing Taehyung speak so openly about it made his mind spin. He could feel the heat rise in his chest. What was happening?
