Paint Me | TaeKook

"That you will leave me again in the end

I wear a mask again and go to see you...

...but I still want you."

--The Truth Untold, BTS

AS distracting the stars above may be, Taehyung was more distracting, standing in front of Jungkook, hands on his pockets, eyes staring straight at him, Jungkook was still as a rock, he isn't even tied up but yet he felt as if he had been tied up a lot of times with spears pointed to him like it was the prehistoric era (yeah, yeah, I know, I've been a little too much there).

They've been maintaining a good amount of space between them as both of them still can't believe how they got to meet here at such an unfortunate occurrence. Jungkook coming out as an auction item, and Taehyung buying him at 500 million. Yeah, what an unfortunate occurrence, indeed.

When both of them want to let go of their growing feelings and act as if nothing happened.

But fate does some shit too, leading them to meet again at a time like this.

Jungkook already removed his mask a while ago, and he suddenly regrets it because Taehyung stares straight at his face, eyes showing unknown emotions. He internally laughs, quite bitter at their situation.

Jungkook looking like a dish, Taehyung eyeing him like a delicacy.

Yeah, fate just like to mess with people like them.

He wished that they met at a different day, at a different situation, at a different lifetime, at least. Well, they're already here, so there's no room for I wish and I hope's anymore.

Jungkook was seated almost near the far end of the L-shaped sofa, seating properly, hands on his knees, creating a reasonable distance from the other male who was seated at a separate couch a few inches away from the seat.

Jungkook has a lot of questions, and he knows Taehyung has a lot too.

But if we keep on waiting on who'll speak first, this'll take eternity.

Jungkook was still on his thoughts when that he hadn't noticed Taehyung scooting a little, startling him a bit when he heard the friction between the male's coat and the leather of the sofa, causing him to speak, making Taehyung stop in his act

"So, 500 Million." he said in a whisper, Taehyung looking at him, puzzled and he moved a little also,

"Uh, yeah." Taehyung said, scratching the back of his head, chastising himself as it sounded like he was bragging as he saw Jungkook look away and covered his face, "Hmmm, yeah." taking in deep breaths, as if he was stopping himself from tearing up.

He was about to come close to him when Jungkook raised a hand and stopped him "Stop, stay where you are Tae," he hiccupped "Stay where you are."

"Okay, I'll stay here." Taehyung said, compliant to what Jungkook says. He's unable to keep still and quiet at the same time, mind bugged with so many questions.

"Jungkook," he begins "I can't keep still, I really don't know why you're here and the thought bugs me a lot." He looks to the youngers eyes brimming with tears, sounding as sincere as he can "and the reason why I got you here is I just wanna know how are you, and I've been... looking for you these past few days, you're bugging my mind, and when I saw you earlier, I thought that may be chance for us to talk."

Then Jungkook remembers Taehyung's project.

"It's about your project, isn't it? If that what you're thinking I---"
