✔ || Save Me [[SEQUEL to DISTRACT ME]]

Chapter 37

Jeongguk threw his legs up beside him on the couch, snuggling deeper into Taehyung's side. Without looking up from his phone, the elder looped his arm around the maknae's shoulders, lightly trailing his fingertips up and down his arm.

They had migrated to the living room after taking a quick shower and were now leaning against each other on the sofa. Jeongguk was playing Overwatch while Taehyung scrolled through Twitter.

"Did you know people ship you with Jimin?" the elder suddenly commented.

Jeongguk rolled his eyes, hardly fazed. "They ship me with everyone. You too. All of us." He quickly smashed a few buttons on his controller before adding, "Sometimes we're both shipped with Jimin. Like, at the same time. And I'm pretty sure some people think BTS is just one giant seven-person orgy."

"Yeah but, Jimin?" Taehyung grumbled.

Jeongguk grinned victoriously at the TV screen before pausing his game and sitting up, turning to the elder. "Are you jealous?"

"A little," Taehyung admitted.

The maknae cocked an eyebrow. "You do realize we're the most popular ship, right?"

Taehyung eyed him. "We are?"

Jeongguk shrugged, "I actually don't know. Maybe it's Namjoon and Seokjin." Taehyung snorted, most likely at both the ship and the maknae's lack of honorifics. "But I don't let that stuff get to me. I've been shipped with my hyungs since I was fifteen."

The elder rolled his eyes, pulling the maknae back against his side. "I guess I just need to get used to it. I haven't been an idol very long, you know."

"It'll eventually stop being awkward," Jeongguk promised.

After a few minutes, Taehyung snickered at something, and Jeongguk paused his game again and peered over his shoulder. The elder tilted the phone so he could see, and Jeongguk smacked his arm. "Why are you looking at fan fiction about us?"

"Because this author thinks you're a dom," Taehyung said, "and it's adorable."

"Hyung," Jeongguk reminded him, "I was a dom literally, like, three hours ago."

"And you were a sub," Taehyung checked his phone's clock, "one hour ago. Shit, it's been that long? How are we surviving right now?"

Jeongguk rolled his eyes, "Remember when you thought I only liked you for sex?"

"Hey!" Taehyung cried indignantly, "It's not my fault your body is addicting!"

Jeongguk snorted, but a blush crept up his cheeks. "Shut up, hyung."

"Speaking of your body," Taehyung began.

"I swear to god -"

"How is everything feeling?" Taehyung continued, eyebrows furrowing in gentle concern. "We've done a lot today."

Jeongguk took a mental inventory. "Nothing's broken."

"You're setting the bar pretty low," Taehyung chided.

The maknae giggled, poking the elder's nose. "I'm fine, hyung. I'll be sore tomorrow, but I have plenty more rounds left in me if you're suggesting we go again."

"Wow," Taehyung snorted, "I'm impressed. Are you sure? It won't hurt my feelings. Just taking care of you is enough for me to be happy."

Jeongguk snuggled deeper into his arms. "I know, but I'm serious. Eat, nap, and fuck, remember? Hell, if you wanted me to suck your dick the rest of the afternoon, I would. Though it'd be way more fun to do that and also fuck, but hey, it's not all about what I want." Taehyung groaned at his words. Mischievous, Jeongguk picked his controller back up and resumed his game. "But right now, I'm playing Overwatch."
