VKook/TaeKook Chronicles

STIGMA 2

Taehyung wakes up with a splitting headache that makes him want to bang his head on the wall.

"You want some coffee?" Jimin offers as he enters Taehyung's room.

"That would be great, Chim," Taehyung says as he sits up. The headache worsens but he forces himself to remain upright. Jimin comes back with Taehyung's cup of coffee. It is gone within second despite it still being hot. Jimin looks at Taehyung with a look of disbelief on his face.

"What?" Taehyung asks, as he places his cup on his bedside table.

"Your tongue isn't burned?" Jimin asks him back.

"Chim, I have a headache that hurts like hell. It is enough to distract me from the burning pain," Taehyung says.

"You've got a point," Jimin says before leaving the room.

Feeling his headache subside a little, Taehyung decides to go take a shower. He let out a soft moan as soon as the warm water makes contact with his skin.

When he steps out of the shower, he hears muffled voices in the living room.

"-practice today, hyung."

"I know. I was taking care of my friend who has a hangover."

He recognizes the second voice as Jimin's but he doesn't recognize the first, although it is familiar. Taehyung decides to go to the living room to see who Jimin is talking to.

Jungkook sees a head peek around the doorframe of the hall doorway. He narrows his eyes to see who it is. His eyes widen as the person peeking jumps out from behind the doorframe. It was Kim Taehyung.

Jimin notices the change in Jungkook's facial expression. He notices that the latter is looking at something or someone behind him. Jimin turns around and sees his housemate standing at the doorway to the hallway. He smirks knowingly when he sees Jungkook gaping at Taehyung.

Taehyung stares at their visitor. Jungkook looks good as usual, his sense of fashion always on point. Taehyung sees Jimin smirking at Jungkook, the latter then glares at the former. Jimin erupts in laughter and taps Jungkook's shoulder.

"I'll go change into my practice clothes first," Jimin says, before leaving the two alone in the living room.

It becomes silent as soon as Jimin leaves. Jungkook's gaze travels down to Taehyung's torso. Only then does Taehyung realize that he is wearing nothing but a towel that is wrapped around his lover body. He tries to stop the blush from coming on his face.

"Jungkook!" Taehyung greets, masking his embarrassment with enthusiasm. Jungkook jumps a little and brings his eyes to meet Taehyung's.

"T-Taehyung, hi," Jungkook says. Taehyung's bare upper body is embedded on his mind like he took a picture of it. It take all of his self control to stop himself from looking back down there.

"What are you doing here this early?" Taehyung asks.

"Early? It's already noon. Anyways, I'm here to fetch Jimin-hyung. We have dance practice at one," Jungkook says.

"Really? It's already noon time? Oh wow," Taehyung cannot believe that he woke up so late. He is usually an early rises even though he is sick or hungover.

Before Jungkook could reply, Jimin comes back.

"We'll be going, Tae. See you later," Jimin says.

Taehyung waves at them. Jungkook waves back before the door closes behind them.

Taehyung goes back to his room to change into comfortable clothes. He then lies down on his bed to read his script for the theatre club's upcoming play. Taehyung plays the lead so he was given the script ahead. After reading his script, Taehyung decides to watch anime reruns on his laptop.
