His Buried Past| Taekook

Chapter 31

V cracks his eyes open, groaning at the light shining through the window. As he stirs, the burning ache in his lower half draws a hiss from his lips. Slowly pushing himself to the edge of the bed, he slips his feet to the floor, wincing with each movement. Finally pushing himself to stand, a sharp gasp spills from him, his wobbly legs almost giving out beneath him. Carefully, he holds on to the wall as he inches his way to the bathroom, muttering under his breath the whole way, "That stupid Kookie, making it so I can barely walk. I'm gonna beat him up so bad once I can move again."

Reaching the bathroom, he turns the water as hot as he can before stepping into the massive shower, hoping the hot water will loosen up his stiff and achy muscles. Moaning, he struggles to make it through his shower, the massage of the hot water only somewhat easing the pain in his lower back. Drying himself off, he manages to slip into some comfy sweats and a loose t-shirt before grabbing his phone from the pockets of the crumpled clothing from the night before. 'Oh my jisoos, it's past noon!'

With a little whine, V forces himself to stand up straight before carefully creeping down to the kitchen. He's relieved to see no one around, and immediately rummages around for some painkillers, gratefully swallowing a pair before heating up some toast. After breakfast, the assassin begins to feel suspicious, 'Where the hell is everyone?'

As if summoned by his thoughts, a figure limps into the room, his pink hair ruffled and face still puffy from sleep. V arches a brow, a grin playing at his lips, "Morning Chim."

The other boy moans and gives a half-hearted wave, before taking out the same painkillers V had just taken. The younger chuckles, "Did Hoseok-hyung go hard on you last night?"

The other boy flushes a deep scarlet, before mumbling, "Not exactly."

A shuffling sound has V turning his head to see Suga staggering into the kitchen as well, grumbling bitterly under his breath before he pours a cup of coffee and holds out his hand for the painkillers Jimin's still holding. The scene has V frowning, as he tries to figure out what exactly happened to put his hyung in such a bad mood. "Yoongi-hyung, are you ok?"

The older scowls, shaking his head as if he's about to say something negative, until a chipper redhead strides into the room, "He's fine V, no need to worry. He's just a little sore." Hoseok sends a sunny smile to the other two grouchy boys. "I've got some work to do, but I'll be back later. Try to get some rest babes."

Jimin gives a tired nod, while Suga just gives a sullen glare before flipping off the cheerful other boy, laying his head on the cool marble of the counter. After the redhead is gone, V observes the two remaining older guys. As Suga goes to move to get another cup of coffee, a wince crosses his features, before a soft curse word slips through his lips.

Jimin looks at the older, his lips in a pout, "It's karma jackass. After all, you're the reason I'm in pain."

The mint-haired older shoots an icy glare at the younger over his coffee cup, not saying anything. Unable to hold back his curiosity, V's brows are drawn together in puzzlement. "Hyung, what does Chim mean? And how did you get hurt? And did you both notice Hobi-hyung seemed more cheerful than usual?"

The two older each flush, Jimin's face matching his hair while Suga's ivory skin is a bright red. Frowning, he glances between them, before the pieces finally click in his mind, making his mouth fall open wide and eyes bug out in shock,"Oh God, Chim, did you and Yoongi-hyung...," his eyes fly to Suga, "And Hobi-hyung..." The shock sends him reeling, his feet taking a step backwards, the sudden movement drawing a pained yelp from the younger, his hands flying to his lower back.

Immediately, Jimin's pink lips pull up into a teasing grin, "Hmm, looks like we're not the only ones who are sore this afternoon."

Suga's eyes narrow, his jaw tensing in displeasure. "Guess I'll be having a talk with Jeon."

V sucks in a sharp breath, "Don't you dare kill him Hyung. I mean it!"

The older shrugs, only to be interrupted by a scowling Jin, his hair damp from a shower, "Who is Suga killing? And where the heck are the painkillers??"

Time skip

After everyone is done teasing and bickering in the kitchen, the pain relievers have kicked in enough that although he's still sore, V feels he can move a little easier. Following Suga out the kitchen door, he reached out, halting the older with a hand on his elbow, "Hyung, I mean it, you can't go killing Jungkook."

The older assassin arches a brow, "Why not?"

"Because! You can't go killing the leader of the Jeon Organization just because we had sex," his belligerent voice trails to a soft mumble as he continues, "Besides, I think I might like him."

Suga gives a disbelieving scoff, "Well considering you let him fvck you, I would hope you like him."

The younger feels his face heating, "Hey!", he snaps, "You have no room to talk! And really Hyung, both Jimin and Hoseok?? Although I'm honestly kinda surprised you let Hobi-hying-"

Suga cuts him off, "Yah! That was a one time thing! Next time I'm totally gonna own his ass!"

V's face screws up with disgust, "Can we please stop talking about your sex life? I just ate."

The older gives a nod, relieved to drop the subject. The younger clears his throat, "Remember, no killing Jungkook."

Suga clicks his tongue in annoyance, "Fine."

"...........No maiming him either."

"Define 'maiming'."

"Hyung! No causing harm that can't heal on its own! And no permanent marks."

The older nods, his expression thoughtful, "But bruises are ok?"

V rolls his eyes, exasperated, "Well, yeah. He did leave me barely able to walk, after all."

Baekhyun's office

Baekhyun's fingers rub at his forehead as he speaks into the phone, "Any luck yet?"

Sehun sighs on the other side of the line, "I'm still trying to figure out who wants your brother dead. But, I do have a lead on who was hired to take him out."

The mafia leader sits up, his eyes instantly alert, headache forgotten, "Who?"

AN: Jin is trying to kill me y'all, seriously. I was driving when the trailer dropped, and had to pull over into a McDonald's parking lot so my 10 year old and I could watch it several times and freak out.

I also published a Vkook short story. It was gonna be a one-shot, but it felt too long for that. The idea is very loosely based on "Somehow 18" starring Choi Minho. It's titled "Somehow, Again". Take a look if you're interested. I 💜 you!
