Worlds Apart - Taekook - Book 2

Chapter 288 - I Have Something To Tell You.

The bathroom is steamy, the ceiling twinkles, Jungkook opens one eye to find the angelic, sopping wet face of his husband watching him. When he returned to the apartment after coffee, Taehyung had run a bath and ushered him into the bathroom which was strange because usually he would be desperate for a shower. The CEO was a huge fan of a sweaty, post exercise Jungkook but he was a bigger fan of a sweaty Jungkook who was naked and in need of a shower where he could be washed and tease his way to being pressed against the tiles. Having his chest pressed against the shower wall was one of his favourite things... to go with the many other 'favourite things'. Tae had taken this into consideration when designing the bathrooms in the new house, perhaps he should ask whether heated walls were a thing?

Jungkook wasn't opposed to having a hot bath after he'd run off the choca-pistachio-cream drink on the way home. Running back prevented him from thinking too much about the coffee time with Han-Shik, there was a lot to think about!

"Do you want me to move?" the dancer asks. He'd been told to lay back and let his husband take care of him, which made him suspicious but he welcomed the offer on this day in particular.

"No... you stay where you are..." Tae responds. He was quite happy sitting astride Jungkook with the water jets doing their thing around their naked bodies. He'd washed his husband's hair and even gone to the trouble to comb in conditioner before rinsing it all out with the shower head.

"What have you done?"

"Nothing."

Jungkook eyed him suspiciously... before closing the eye and resting his head back. "Are you sure?"

"You were only gone a couple of hours."

"You could've bought another island in that time." He says in jest.

"Kookie?"

Jungkook daren't open his eyes, "Please tell me you haven't?"

"No, I haven't bought anything."

"Oh... okay... what is it?" He hums a sound of approval as his arm is picked up and is lathered up with two soapy hands.

"Are you okay?"

"Yeah... what makes you ask?"

"You've been really quiet."

Jungkook opens one eye again, "Have I? Sorry."

"I thought you sounded strange on the phone when you called me on your way home."

"Strange? How was I strange?" Jungkook takes deep breaths as his second arm is given the same attention as his other arm.

Tae's hands slide up and down from Jungkook's arm pit to his forearm. He measures the circumference of his husband's bicep with the fingers and thumbs of both his hands. Touching Jungkook's body was a pastime that he'd added to the list of favourite hobbies. The topic of hobbies was a post sex, basking in the glow of peak pleasure conversation. The CEO thoroughly enjoyed creating his list, he was highly entertained.

Jungkook... wasn't so enthralled and spent a lot of time rolling his eyes.

"Did Han-Shik upset you?"

"No. He pissed me off when I first got there but we moved on."

"Kookie... what happened?"

Jungkook opened his eyes and used both of his hands to sweep back his freshly washed, sopping wet hair. He was familiar with the apprehension and awkwardness that was sitting in his gut. There were too many recent situations that caused these feelings, which was comical.

"I think Han-Shik knows some personal things about us... I'm sorry, Tae." Guilt sat somewhere between the awkwardness and apprehension.

Tae's index fingers traced the ridges of his husband's torso. He'd been thinking about Jungkook's workout regime until bewilderment replaced those thoughts. "Personal things? Would you like to tell me about it?"
