Smoke The Color Away | Vkook

eight (part 1)

Jungkook slept late last night due to a post on Instagram which kept lingering in his thoughts for hours. His sister had uploaded a photo of hers with some friend. She was smiling and if he didn't know her he would have thought it's sincere.Does he even know her? Maybe it is but he doubts it, rather he refuses to believe a girl of sadness could ever turn to a girl of happiness and as Taehyung had said he's always too stubborn to accept anything else. Maybe he doesn't want to see his sister happy, maybe some tiny part of him became jealous of her, the moment she left the house. Such a disputable smile was haunting him all night leading to a mess, the ones Jungkook despises. He obviously didn't listen to his alarm and now Taehyung is ringing his door bell.

He panics for some seconds before answering to the boy. He rushes to the bathroom to wash his face leaving the front door open. The older boy arrives a few moments later with a suspicious look on his face. Jungkook leaves the bathroom to say hello to the other. He must look like a mess because Taehyung chuckles.

"Did you seriously stay up late?" Taehyung asks ironically before Jungkook even greets him, raising an eyebrow on him.

"Good morning to you too" He answers casually, rolling his eyes.

Taehyung's wearing a dark blue hoodie, a pair of tight navy jeans and a burgundy beanie which enhances perfectly his blond hair. Jungkook decides blond Taehyung is his favorite. He must have caught Jungkook's gaze because he points to his clothes.

"Aren't I cute?" He asks as if it is the most usual thing in the world. He knows the answer and Jungkook can tell.

Jungkook doesn't reply, he shrugs showing off his bad sleepy mood.

"I'll be done in a couple of minutes make yourself at home," He says and disappears in his bedroom. He really regrets agreeing on this trip. He gets some casual clothes out because a second pair is never unnecessary. He is a little bit skeptical about what he should wear and that's new. He takes off his T-shirt and he curses because he forgot his axe in the bathroom.

Taehyung's POV

"You know yesterday I clearly pointed out that we must sleep early and it makes me sad that you never list-," Taehyung's gaze meets Jungkook's bare body and he takes in his well-made form, forgetting all about what he wanted to say. He looks down immediately. Marks. There were marks on his back ruining his flawless skin.

"What?" Jungkook shouts as he heads to the bathroom.

"It's nothing." Taehyung thinks he must be making a mistake. He focuses on the room. It's is big and fancy betraying his comfortable financial state. Taehyung's amazed. He had listened to the rumors before but seeing this place himself is something different. Seeing Jungkook's naked body is something different as well and some part of him hopes there won't ever be rumors about it, he feels privileged.

The boy rushes to him, all dressed and neat. Black jeans and a beige shirt.

"You have a nice place," Taehyung says.

"Thanks, have you eaten?" Jungkook makes a face of disgust as if he hates his place.

"Yes I am okay," he enjoyed some pancakes just before he got there.

Jungkook eats quickly and gathers his stuff, photography equipment, and his bag. Some minutes later they are on the road.

Jungkook's POV

Taehyung's driving and Jungkook find his mild driving calming this time. It's too early in the morning and Jungkook notices some elementary kids getting off to school smiling to each other and some high school girls whining about the early hour. What is it about growing up that makes people all grumpy?
