"Thanks for saving me back there." Jeongguk squeaks, sitting uncomfortably on the leather passenger seat, trying to bring up conversation after the awkward silence.

He takes a quick peek at Taehyung, who was steering the wheel, looking straight ahead at the road. He was wearing a long-sleeved black shirt, that had a V-neck, showing a little bit of skin. He also had a thin, sliver necklace around his neck, resting gently on Taehyung's two collarbones. His hair was beautifully ruffled, wearing black pants.

"Yeah, no problem. I know a shithead when I see one." Taehyung informs, smirking a little. Jeongguk could see Taehyung's bloody knuckles, it made him wonder why Taehyung went through all that trouble to save him and actually would risk hurting his knuckles for him, he felt guilty.

"Are your knuckles okay?" Jeongguk worries, cringing a little.

Taehyung's eyes travel down to his bloody knuckles for a few seconds, "Oh, yeah they're fine, i'll put some ice on later." Taehyung answers.

Jeongguk nods, still confused about Taehyung's kindness, he had to be straight forward. "Um, I'm just a little confused. Why are you being so nice to me?" Jeongguk asks, looking down at his lap.

"Well... I feel really bad for being rude to you at work. What I did was wrong, and I want to make it up to you. How I treated you... Wasn't fair in anyway." Taehyung admits, looking a Jeongguk for a few seconds and then back at the road.

Jeongguk choose not to say anything back and just nod, he forgave Taehyung. And didn't dislike him as much anymore.

"I guess I was going through some stuff and took it out on you. I'm sorry. But that person who was rude to you at work. That's not me. Okay Jeongguk?" Taehyung finished. He truly felt bad for his rude behaviour.

"Okay." Jeongguk replies.

"Were you just walking to your car and you saw me or?..." Jeongguk trails.

"Oh yeah I was. I wasn't following you around or anything I was just coming back from seeing a friend in a cafe and then I saw a guy beating up someone, so I went closer and then I was like 'isn't that Jeongguk?'" Taehyung explains.

"I had to step in." Taehyung adds.

Jeongguk smiles at Taehyung's story, "Thanks again."

"Yeah, no problem Jeongguk." Taehyung grins. It felt so weird for Jeongguk to hear his actual name come out from the mouth of Taehyung.

"Does he always give you trouble?" Taehyung wonders.

"Yeah. But he usually just teases me, never usually violent."

"Shit, man you should talk to someone or get a restraining order or something." Taehyung says.

"Yeah..." Jeongguk stares out the window, thinking about what Taehyung just said.

The two walk into Taehyung's apartment. It was small, but cozy-cute looking. Taehyung continues walking into the kitchen and Jeongguk stays at the entrance looking at the interior of Taehyung's apartment. The walls had posters scattered of different bands.

I can trust him, right?

"Hey Jeongguk, come here." Taehyung's voice echoing from the kitchen, Jeongguk follows Taehyung's calling, still nervous Taehyung could be lying about who he really is.

He was in the kitchen, rummaging through his first aid kit, hearing Jeongguk's footsteps his turns around, "Come here." he looks back down at the kit.

Jeongguk walks closer and was now beside him awkwardly.

Taehyung looks up again, He then pats his hand on the kitchen bench, "Can you sit here so I can get a better look?"

Jeongguk stares at the bench Taehyung was patting, without thinking Jeongguk sits down on the bench in front of Taehyung, his knee brushing Taehyung's arm.

"Okay..." Taehyung mumbles, concentrated on the tissue he was wetting with water.

Taehyung moves closer to Jeongguk, standing in between his two dangling legs, squinting at Jeongguk's lip, dabbing the cold, wet tissue on the dried up blood on the surface of Jeongguk's lip.

He flinches at the coldness of the tissue, staring at Taehyung's concentrated face.

"Sorry, it's a bit cold, ay?" Taehyung whispers, smiling as he cleaned up Jeongguk's lip.

Taehyung was so close right now, both of their clothing was touching. The front of Taehyung's shirt and the fabric of Jeongguk's pants.

Jeongguk inspected Taehyung's complexion, there wasn't one dent on his face he looked flawless, Jeongguk looks down from his face and to his chest, his skin was even smoother than his face, holy fuck. He never thought of Taehyung like this until now, before he thought of him as this annoying unfair mole and now...

It made Jeongguk feel nervous, all he knew was that he had to keep it together before Taehyung felt something poking on his stomach that he shouldn't.  ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡° )
