Book Of Tease

Tomato

As the evening settled in, the warmth of the Jeon house wrapped around them, but the air between Jungkook and Taehyung was anything but calm. Taehyung had been hoping for a break after the intense moments earlier, but Jungkook clearly had other plans. He seemed determined to turn every second they spent together into another opportunity to see how red he could make Taehyung blush.

After their playful exchange in the living room, Jungkook led Taehyung upstairs, a mischievous glint in his eyes. Taehyung tried to keep his cool, but his heart was still racing from the kiss and the teasing words that followed. He found himself half-hoping that maybe-just maybe-Jungkook would give him a little bit of peace. But as soon as they stepped into the guest room that Jungkook had commandeered for their time together, Taehyung knew he was out of luck.

Jungkook leaned casually against the doorway, his arms folded, as Taehyung tried to find something to focus on other than the way Jungkook was watching him. The room, though spacious and comfortable, suddenly felt too small, and Taehyung's nerves crackled with awareness.

"So, Tae..." Jungkook started, his voice smooth and playful. He tilted his head, a smirk playing on his lips. "You really thought you could run away earlier?"

Taehyung turned to face him, his cheeks already pinking at the memory of his failed escape. "I-I wasn't running," he muttered defensively, folding his arms across his chest. "I just remembered I had to... uh, check something upstairs."

Jungkook chuckled, taking a few steps closer until he was standing right in front of Taehyung. He leaned down slightly, bringing their faces closer, and Taehyung's breath hitched. "You're a terrible liar, you know that?" he murmured, his voice low and teasing. "And it's kind of cute."

Taehyung's blush deepened, and he looked away, feeling the heat rise to his ears. "Stop... calling me cute," he mumbled, the words coming out in a flustered rush.

"But why would I stop?" Jungkook pressed, his tone turning almost sing-song as he reached out, gently tilting Taehyung's chin back up to meet his gaze. "When it's so much fun to see you turn red like this?"

Taehyung swallowed hard, feeling his resolve start to crumble under the weight of Jungkook's gaze. He tried to take a step back, but his legs bumped into the edge of the bed, leaving him trapped between Jungkook and the mattress. "Jungkook, I-"

Jungkook didn't give him a chance to finish. He leaned in even closer, their faces barely an inch apart now. "You know, I was thinking..." he murmured, his breath brushing against Taehyung's lips. "I should make it my mission to see just how red I can make you before we go to sleep tonight. What do you think?"

Taehyung's eyes widened, and he sputtered, his mind spinning at the implication of Jungkook's words. "W-What kind of mission is that?" he stammered, his voice going high-pitched with nervousness. "That's... that's ridiculous!"

"Maybe," Jungkook replied, a playful glint in his eye as he leaned back slightly, giving Taehyung just enough space to catch his breath. "But you're not saying no."

Taehyung opened his mouth to argue, but before he could get a word out, Jungkook reached out and brushed a stray lock of hair away from Taehyung's forehead, his touch lingering longer than necessary. "You're pretty cute when you're flustered, you know that?" Jungkook added, his voice softening as he watched Taehyung's reaction.

Taehyung felt his face heat up even more, and he turned his head to the side, trying desperately to hide how much Jungkook's teasing was affecting him. "I'm not... flustered," he muttered weakly, but the tremor in his voice betrayed him.

Jungkook's smirk turned into a full grin, and he leaned in again, this time pressing his forehead gently against Taehyung's. "You know what, Tae?" he said softly, his tone turning just a bit more sincere. "You're actually pretty adorable when you're trying to act tough. And I think I like seeing this side of you... a lot."

Taehyung's heart skipped a beat at the unexpected sincerity in Jungkook's voice, and he found himself at a loss for words. He glanced up, meeting Jungkook's eyes, and for a moment, the world seemed to narrow down to just the two of them.

But just as quickly, Jungkook's smirk returned, and he pulled back slightly, his teasing demeanor slipping back into place. "Now, let's see if I can get that blush to go all the way down to your toes," he teased, reaching out to gently poke Taehyung's cheek.

Taehyung sputtered, his blush flaring even brighter as he swatted Jungkook's hand away. "You're... you're impossible!" he exclaimed, but the words lacked any real heat. Deep down, a part of him couldn't deny the thrill he felt whenever Jungkook turned his attention on him like this, no matter how much he tried to fight it.

Jungkook just laughed softly, stepping back and giving Taehyung a little bit of space. "You're right, Tae," he said, his grin softening into a warm smile. "I am impossible. But I think you kind of like that, don't you?"

Taehyung didn't know how to respond to that, so he just looked away, hoping that the darkness of the room would hide the way his blush was spreading down his neck. But Jungkook wasn't finished yet. He stepped closer again, this time running a finger down Taehyung's arm, watching with amusement as the blush traveled from Taehyung's face all the way to his neck, then down to the very tips of his ears.

"I can't believe you're this red, Tae," Jungkook teased, leaning in close enough for his lips to brush against Taehyung's ear. "Do I really make you that flustered?"

Taehyung's breath hitched, and he closed his eyes tightly, trying to will the redness away. But Jungkook's presence was overwhelming, and the way his voice dipped into a lower, more seductive tone only made things worse. "You... you know you do," Taehyung finally managed to whisper, his voice barely more than a breath.

Jungkook pulled back just enough to see the full effect of his words. Taehyung's cheeks were flushed, his lips slightly parted as he tried to catch his breath. It was everything Jungkook had hoped for, and he couldn't resist leaning in once more, this time pressing a gentle kiss to the tip of Taehyung's nose.

"Perfect," he murmured against Taehyung's skin, his voice filled with satisfaction. "You're perfect like this, Tae."

Taehyung was practically burning from the inside out, and as Jungkook pulled back with a triumphant smile, he found himself wondering how he had ended up in this position. All he knew was that being around Jungkook made him feel things he couldn't quite put into words-feelings that left him breathless and wanting more, even when he didn't understand them fully.

Jungkook, satisfied with the reaction he had coaxed from Taehyung, finally gave him a bit of space. But the look in his eyes made it clear that he wasn't quite done yet. "Get some rest, Tae," he said with a smirk. "We've got three whole days together, after all... and I plan to make the most of every single second."

Taehyung could only nod, his mind still spinning from the intense teasing and the way Jungkook's presence seemed to fill the entire room. He watched as Jungkook turned off the light, leaving them in the soft glow of the moon filtering through the window. And as he settled onto the bed, his cheeks still tingling from Jungkook's kiss, he couldn't help but feel that this was just the beginning of something he wasn't quite ready to name.
