Chapter 12

It was late in the afternoon when jungkook sat on the counter, legs swinging back and forth as he licked the remains of vanilla frosting on a wooden spoon. He was making a dessert with taehyung, after all both their sprouts of sudden energy drained them out to say the least.

Taehyung kept on staring at the younger, eyes darting back to his bowl full of cake batter when realizing he couldn't just do that. He had to be cool.

" tae, do you think we forgot anything? " jungkook asked. He was staring into mid-air intensely, clearly focused.

" uh, " the latter glanced quickly at the younger's muscular legs, " dunno. Why don't you check? "

" hmm, 'm kinda sore. " jungkook blushed. Taehyung wasn't that gentle with him, even if it felt like he was at the moment. Now that he's in a clearer state everything seems different.

The older chuckled loudly. " aww! Sorry for that. "

" no need to be sorry... you were really nice.  " jungkook Laid back onto the counter, shivering a little when the cold white marble came into contact with his body.

They shared a comfortable silence until taehyung gasped loudly. " sprinkles! "

" ooh! Funfetti cakes are the best! " the younger was already drooling at the thought.

He hopped off the counter and ran to the small pantry taehyung had, grabbing a family-sized sprinkles box and bringing it back proudly. He felt kinda bad about not knowing anything about cooking and always having taehyung cook.

" thanks bunny. " the older winked at him. Jungkook blinked for a couple seconds and then sat back on the counter. God, it's so much different without being horny. I almost died from that!

He wasn't very sure what he and taehyung were now. Yes, they had sex and yes, he marked him but besides being mates, were they officially a couple? He was so confused for the way these things worked.

" tae. " he called softly. The said-male looked at him and chuckled. " yeah? What is it? "

" are we like... boyfriends? " the younger rubbed his mark. It made him feel safe.

Taehyung stopped what he was doing and turned around slowly. " do you want to...? I mean, I thought we were. I marked you and everything and we even- "

" stop talking! " jungkook giggled, legs thrashing around in the air. " I want to. Do you want it too? I, I mean do y-you want me too? "

A soft pair of lips touched his own and his eyes widened in shock as they moved steadily, seemingly having life of their own. " kiss me back, Jeon. " taehyung mumbled against his lips.

He moaned in agreement and parted his lips, deepening the kiss and allowing his boyfriend to take control.

His whole body tingled at the feeling. He was so, so in love with his hyung. All he wanted to do was to kiss him forever, touch him forever, feel him forever. It was ridiculous how much his heart swelled at the thought. It was all clear now; his frantic thoughts about him when they were apart, the way he missed him so-so dearly and the warm feeling he got every time they looked at each other. It was love, he just didn't know it yet.

" hyung, please make love to me. " he whispered hazily. Taehyung swiped his thumb against the soft skin of his cheek and examined his eyes. They were so shiny and glossed-over, sparkling beneath long black eyelashes.

" we need to eat. Don't wanna tire you out anyway, we still have just a couple more hours  before it starts again, remember? "

He was so soft spoken and gentle that jungkook automatically nodded. When his mind processed what he actually said, he nodded again. " okay. " he added just to ensure that he really understood.
