You're In Danger (#WATTYS2019) [COMPLETED]

A Ray of Sunshine Chapter 20

Since the night Hoseok and Taehyung have kissed they have been talking about what is going on between them. Neither wants their feelings to be fake but this is all new to them. Taehyung always thought it was Jimin that he was in love with. Yes, he loved Jimin deeply but here was this other person who has loved Tae since trainee days. Oh, not like Jimin loved Jungkook but their love did grow until they realized there may be something more there than just the brotherly love they had come to know.

There were other issues too. It took the group quite some time to get used to the idea of Jimin and Jungkook as a couple. How would the group react knowing there may be another couple in the group? Were these relationships forming because their intense closeness to each other? Were these relationships true relationships designed to meet the human need to be loved by someone? Or, were these relationships that were created only because they live with each other and have grown to love and understand each other in ways that no outsiders would ever understand or accept? Because of the so-called "dating ban" within the industry dating outside of the group was impossible. Not to say that it may not have occurred but it was done very quietly and ended just as quickly if even the sniff of two people being together was in the air. There had been some rumors such as Jimin and Jeonyoung and Seulgi or Suga and Suran and Adora and a couple of the other members but none of them were found to be true or there was such minute information to support the rumor they often died away quickly. So were these relationships formed to meet the human need to be loved by falling in love with the one closest to you whether that person happened to be male or female?

Those were the thoughts that ran through Taehyung's mind as he thought over his feelings for Hoseok. He had never thought of himself as someone who would fall for another man but he couldn't deny the feelings he was developing. He wanted to explore those feelings with Hoseok. He, also wanted to know what it was like for Jimin and Jungkook to be in love with each other so much. While Taehyung could never get close to completely understanding that Jimin and Jungkook's love for each other was on a level that was infinitely deep, he would develop a whole new appreciation for it. For now, until Tae and Hoseok sorted out what was going on between themselves they would not talk about it with the others. Although, like Jimin and Jungkook the others knew that something was going on.

"Hoseok, is Tae still sleeping in your room?" Namjoon asked one evening.

"Yeah, why?" Hoseok said putting down the book he was reading in the living room.

"Just wondering. I would have thought he would have gone back to his room by now or is he still that upset?"

"Well, Joon he is still pretty upset. We are all still upset. It's like we live on pins and needles waiting for any information about Jiminie and Kookie. Taehyung feels comfort sleeping in Jimin's bed and if it comforts him then I'm not going to tell him he has to leave." Hoseok said.

"I understand. I think he is comforted by you too." Namjoon said.

"I hope so. He comforts me too."

"Hhhmm. I guess I'm glad you two have each other for that then." said Namjoon.

"What do you mean? I am glad we are helping each other through this. I think as the two who share such strong bonds with Jimin and Jungkook it makes us more empathetic to each other regarding our feelings about their disappearance. Is there anything wrong with that?" Hoseok asked.

"No. Just be careful brother. I don't want anything to happen to either one of you but I don't want you two to do something and come to regret it later." Namjoon said.

"Not sure what you mean, but I'll note it." Said Hoseok as he returned to reading.

Namjoon leaves the living room to go to his room and just as soon as he is out of eye shot Taehyung comes into the living room. He sees Hoseok seated in a chair reading a book. He skips over to Hoseok with a boxy smile on his face. Takes a look around the room as if seeing if anyone is near then leans in and gives Hoseok a kiss. Hoseok returns the kiss with a bright smile and says nothing more. The doorbell rings to the dorm.
