TAN

            

jungkook focus
that night, jungkook finds himself staring at the expanse of tan skin taehyung reveals by lifting his arms. he watches over the top of his laptop as taehyung struggles to properly pin up the set of fairy lights on the wall, his sweater rising every time to expose smooth skin.

jungkook wants to snake his hands under that damn sweater and wrap his arms around taehyung's waist, his fingers pressing against his warm skin.

no jungkook, no, you don't want to do that.

taehyung makes a little grunting noise and irritatedly sorts through the know tangled fairy lights. he easily managed to detangle the mess and smiles to himself.

yes, yes i do want to do that, he thinks as taehyung leans up to attach the fairy lights to the wall. once he's finished, he jumps off his bed and pads over to the switch and flicks it on, the fairy lights coming to life.

taehyung beams as he surveys his work and grins at the white glow the lights gave out.

"i feel so christmassy now." taehyung smiles, sitting on jungkook's bed to gaze at the fairy lights.
"speaking of christmas, are you going home tomorrow?"

"huh?" jungkook asks, breaking away from his thoughts.

"end of term exams finish tomorrow so students are free to leave for christmas break. didn't you know?" taehyung explains, flopping back on to the bed to lie beside where jungkook was lying.

"oh. i think im gonna stay here."
taehyung turns to face him.

"how come?"

jungkook shrugs, "mom invited my dad for christmas dinner and it's gonna be pretty tense with my mom's fiancé there. i don't wanna be caught up with it." jungkook starts to aimlessly type the essay he was supposed to be working on.

"your mom's fiancé?"

"yeah, my parents for divorced last year and now my mom's gonna get married again. in two weeks actually."

"oh, well congratulations to her."

"yeah." jungkook pauses, "what about you?"

"im going home tomorrow and im gonna be there for a week." taehyung says with a happy smile. "also, since im gonna be away for a week, how do you plan to woo me?" taehyung grins.

"think im gonna have to postpone the last seven days until you come back." jungkook says, laughing softly.
"wow, nearly a week had passed by." he adds. taehyung hums in reply.

"wait - you won't be here on sunday so we can't go ice skating." taehyung nods, "then let's go tomorrow."

"sure okay." taehyung murmurs, snuggling against the covers. "now hurry up and finish your essay. i wanna see the fairy lights in the dark."

"okay okay, im done. go ahead and switch the lights off." jungkook says, closing his laptop and sets the thin device on the bedside table. taehyung swings his legs over the covers and jogs to the main light switch, flicking it off and let's the fairy lights glow alone.

"it's so pretty." taehyung voices out as he wanders back to the bed, his eyes trailing the string of lights.

"not as pretty as you."
jungkook laughs at the unimpressed look taehyung send him.
