Perfect Fit [hiatus]

Tabloids

The rest of the week went by smoothly. The line was coming along great and Taehyung had been a huge help. He and Jungkook had been getting along better and better each day and he even stopped rolling his eyes at Taehyung's flirtatious comments. Instead he just blushed and laughed it off, however when they got home and were behind closed doors was when things got a little... tense. If Jungkook thought Taehyung was revealing outside and at work, he was definitely not ready for his lounging around the house attire. It usually consisted of a loose see through button up shirt and tight boxer briefs. Jungkook was finding it harder and harder to resist his attraction to Taehyung, which was still very confusing to him. His whole life he'd been attracted to women, kissed women, slept with women. He had no idea a man could be this beautiful.

To make matters worse, the weekend was quickly approaching, meaning he'd have no work distractions to keep his head clear and Taehyung free. He was both excited and terrified, knowing he'd either push Taehyung away, drying out any substance their relationship had built over the past few days, or risk drowning in him completely. He decided that he'd have to risk his emotions getting in the way, as a rocky relationship at this point would only make work life more difficult. He needed this line to be perfect so he shoved his fears to the back of his mind in order to make that happen.

Jungkook was pulled out of his thoughts by Taehyung waltzing through the door, a box of donuts in one hand and a tray of iced coffee in the other.

"Good morning sir. Donut?"

"Don't act like we didn't just see each other 20 minutes ago. Plus, you should stop buying me food, you're gunna make me fat."

"Oh boo, your washboard abs can handle a donut. Besides it's Friday, treat yourself."

Jungkook smiled and took the box, opening it and choosing the powdered one with a jelly filling. He took a bite and handed the box back to Tae who was more than satisfied with his persuasive abilities.

"You should really learn how to knock too. Just because we're also roommates doesn't give you special privileges here. Even Namjoon knocks before coming in." He washed the sugary pastry down with a sip of the iced coffee.

"Well, speaking of knocking..." Taehyung trailed off, dipping his finger into the chocolate frosting of an eclair and sucking it off his finger.

"Okay that was not my fault, you didn't have the door closed all the way and I did knock."

"Oh please, you pushed it right open. And I know you liked what you saw don't lie to me."

Jungkook felt the familiar flustered feeling wash over him: eyes wide, mouth dry, cheeks hot. He cleared his throat and took another sip of his coffee.

"Look, I'm not into you like that but..."

"But...?"

"But, there is no denying how" Jungkook averted his gaze from the model, "attractive you are. You're a model for a reason, that's all I'm going to say." He let out a breath before looking back up at Taehyung, eyes a bit surprised but his smirk still there as it was rarely absent from his face.

"Wow, I never expected you to actually admit it." He laughed, biting into his éclair and sitting on the office couch.

"Shut up. Finish your fucking donut and get to work."

"Aye aye captain." Taehyhung mumbled out, a mouthful of food puffing up his cheeks. He pulled out his laptop and started to put more collages together for the upcoming photoshoots next week. Jungkook hadn't really prepared himself for a model to be so hands on, so he ended up sharing his office with Taehyung and assigned him the job of creating mood boards for the photoshoots. Contrary to popular belief, or rather Jungkook's expectations, they had very similar ways of working and thinking. Above that, their visions for the line matched up as well, which is one of the reasons why Jungkook has allowed Taehyung to be a part of his creative team for the time being. Another reason being so that Jungkook can keep a close eye on him as many of the staff and other models have been flirting with Taehyung. Jungkook couldn't help the overwhelming sense of protection he had over the boy. He knew Taehyung was used to this industry and the people in it but he still felt the need to watch over him. Protecting was what he told himself he was doing at least because in reality it was possession, hunger, and jealousy that made him want Taehyung within an arm's length at all times.
