Book Of Tease

Shower

Taehyung stepped out of the bathroom, his hair damp from the shower, water droplets clinging to the strands. A cloud of steam followed him into the room, swirling around as he tightened the towel wrapped around his waist. It covered him from just above his hips to mid-thigh, leaving his shoulders and chest exposed to the cool air of the bedroom.

He had thought the room would be empty. But as he turned the corner, he froze in place.

Jungkook was still there, casually sprawled on the bed, one hand holding his phone while the other rested lazily behind his head. When the door opened, Jungkook glanced up, and his eyebrows shot up at the sight before him. A playful smirk tugged at his lips as he took in Taehyung's state, his eyes glinting with mischief.

"Well, well, what do we have here?" Jungkook drawled, his voice dipping into a low, teasing tone. He pushed himself up, turning slightly towards Taehyung, but made no move to leave. "You look... very comfortable, Tae."

Taehyung's face turned a deep shade of red, and he immediately clutched the towel tighter around his waist, backing up a step against the bathroom doorframe. "I-I didn't know you were still here!" he stammered, his voice wavering. "Get out-"

Jungkook's smirk only grew wider. He turned his back to Taehyung, facing the opposite wall, but his head angled slightly as he peeked over his shoulder. "Oh, come on, I'm not looking... unless you want me to?" His tone was rich with amusement, and Taehyung could hear the smile in his words.

Taehyung spluttered, his blush spreading down to his neck. "Y-You're insufferable!" He tried to sound angry, but the shakiness in his voice betrayed him.

Jungkook chuckled softly, and despite facing away, he didn't move an inch toward the door. Instead, he stretched his arms above his head casually, as if settling in for a show. "Relax, Tae, I'm just giving you some space. But you know, I don't mind if you take your time."

"Jungkook, seriously, just-turn around and actually leave this time!" Taehyung's words were sharp, but his voice still trembled. He could feel the heat in his cheeks burning even hotter under Jungkook's barely hidden gaze.

Jungkook finally turned his body halfway, enough to catch sight of Taehyung's flustered expression. He grinned, clearly savoring the reaction he'd managed to draw out. "Why so shy all of a sudden?" he teased. "You're the one parading around like that."

Taehyung's grip on the towel tightened, and he tried to glare, though his face was so red it only made him look more flustered. "I'm not parading-this is my room! And you're supposed to be gone!"

Jungkook tilted his head, his smirk never fading. "I said I wouldn't look... but if you keep making those cute faces, you're making it really hard to resist."

Taehyung bit down on his lip, struggling to hold back a retort, but it came out as a frustrated huff. He could feel his heart racing in his chest, and he turned on his heel, retreating back toward the bathroom door. "Fine, just-just stay over there," he muttered, retreating to grab his clothes, all too aware of Jungkook's lingering gaze.

But before he could reach his clothes, Jungkook's voice stopped him again. "Hey, Taehyung."

Taehyung paused, half-turning to look over his shoulder. "What now?"

Jungkook's smirk softened into something more sincere, but the glint in his eyes was just as playful. "You know, you don't have to hide so much around me. You look good, you know that, right?" He winked, and Taehyung's blush flared even deeper as he stumbled back into the bathroom, closing the door with a hasty slam.

As he leaned against the door, his breath coming in quick, flustered bursts, Taehyung pressed a hand to his burning face. He could hear Jungkook's chuckle from the other side, low and teasing, and it did nothing to calm his racing heart.

Jungkook, meanwhile, stayed right where he was, a satisfied grin playing on his lips. It was all too easy to get under Taehyung's skin, and he couldn't help but savor every second of it. After all, there were still three days left to see just how many shades of red he could turn Taehyung.
