You can't spell space without ace (vkook)

내게

a/n: the title means "to me" and the solid reason why the chapter is named that is because I was listening to that song by got7 all the while when I was writing,,, I love that song a lot.

Jeongguk was sure to still keep a safe space between him and Taehyung while they were sleeping. He is sure he is down for cuddling but just not right now.

After spending another night over at the other's loft Jeongguk was left feeling all sorts of warm and fuzzy inside. He woke up that morning to Taehyung smiling at him and if in that moment he wished he could wake up like this every single day, no one needed to know.

The first thing that had left Taehyung's mouth after he noticed the younger was awake, was the word baby and God forbid if anyone ever finds this out, but Jeongguk felt his heart double the size inside his chest and he had to force his mouth to remain a line instead of opening up in a wide smile, after the word left his boyfriend's lips.

He couldn't understand why such a ridiculous word had this effect on him, especially because he absolutely despised pet names.

Whenever Yugyeom would use them on him he would want nothing more than to strangle his friend. Whenever he heard his friends using pet names for their significant others, he would roll his eyes – internally, he is not that much of an asshole – and cringe at them. Whenever he heard any pet names he would just wish he could ban the words forever.

But hearing Taehyung calling him that made him feel content, made him feel cared for in a way he never felt before and he hated this. He absolutely hated how such a thing could make him so happy.

He had told Taehyung that he could call him that, but only when they were alone, because if any of his friends knew about this they would never let Jeongguk live peacefully again. And if such a thing happened the younger would be forced to murder his friends and let's just say he wasn't fond of the idea of going to jail.

Of course his boyfriend agreed with him and smiled widely after, making Jeongguk smile back at him because the younger can't resist it. Taehyung's smile is contagious.

That lead the older to keep calling Jeongguk baby every other minute and the younger wasn't sure how long his heart could take such a thing before it exploded inside of him.

His relationship had a lifespan of only a day but it was already the cheesiest thing ever and he cringed at himself for that because he claimed he had no heart before and now he could feel it melting when he did as much as glance at his boyfriend.

The worst of it all was that even if he was cringing deep inside, even deeper inside he absolutely loved the whole thing. He loved it so much he was sure he would lose his mind soon enough.

Jeongguk had made them both breakfast that morning again, this time without the flour fight, and they had eaten on the table and smiled at each other over their mugs of milk and coffee, and held hands once they were done, and the whole thing felt absurdly domestic and soft and the younger wanted nothing more than burst into tears every now and then because he couldn't believe this was really happening to him.

He never took himself to be such a sappy, but shit he was and that needed to stop.

As they had agreed on the day before, both of them left soon after their breakfast to go over Jimin's so they could tell their friends the news.

Jeongguk was only doing so because he couldn't avoid it forever and because it would be hard for him to keep this hidden from Jimin considering his boyfriend is Taehyung's best friend.

The younger was considering texting Yugyeom about it and telling his sister, but he wasn't sure if he would do that.

It didn't take them long to arrive at Jimin's place and as soon as the boy opened his door Jeongguk regretted not texting before showing up.
