The One For Me || vkook

This chapter and the next were gonna be only one, but I didn't want to you to feel like you're reading the Bible, so it's getting split up. This really wasn't necessary for me to say, but I wanted to do it anyways. You're welcome.

Leading jungkook into his room, taehyung pushes open the door to his bathroom and closes it for privacy. Turning to the elder, he is taken back by staring straight into his warm brown eyes. He glances down, trying to avoid eye contact, but is then conflicted with staring at jungkooks well chiseled abs, almost drooling at the sight of water from his hair running down the defined muscles.

"Uh- um. I- you... um.." taehyung becomes a stuttering mess, smacking himself on the forehead internally.

Jungkook chuckles at the cute male in front of him, but says nothing.

Regaining his composure, taehyung turns around to gather some things up for the elders use, "h-here, you can uh.. use my shampoo and soap if you- if you want. S-sorry I don't have any different scents," he mutters, embarrassed by the strawberry Creme scented shampoo and vanilla sugar body wash.

"No problem tae, thank you." Jungkook says to the younger, eyes never leaving him, but slightly frustrated because taehyung hasn't looked at him yet.

He grabs the bottles that taehyung hands him, but sets them aside, "Tae?" He now almost whispers, putting two fingers under the youngers chin to make him finally look up.

"Yeah?" Taehyung whispers back.

Although he feels nervous, looking into jungkooks eyes somehow causes him to get lost in thought, unable to pull away. Not like he had any thought of doing so, though.

"Why don't you look at me?"

Gulping, taehyung replies, "I dunno. Embarrassed, that's all."

"Of what? Do I make you uncomfortable?" Jungkook asks in worry, slowly pulling away from taehyung.

"No! No, it's not you. I just- don't feel confident? It sounds stupid, I know. But I... don't like how I look? It's not only you though, don't worry... I'm always looking down. Trying to avoid eye contact." Taehyung chews on his lower lip, missing jungkooks small touch.

Now you've really done it taehyung, he mentally scolds himself for letting such a stupid worry slip out of his mouth. Sighing taehyung leans against the sinks countertop, "that was dumb- I'm sorry. I should go now. You should shower. You-"

But his words stop once jungkook walks over and places his hands on either side of him, gripping the countertop and leaning down to be eye to eye with him. Staring at the other with big innocent eyes, taehyung chews on his lip again.

"Tae.." Jungkook murmurs, "you have got to stop apologizing for everything you do or say. Because it's not a problem at all. And you have to stop beating yourself up over who you are. I know you don't see it, but you're... god, you're beautiful tae. You're so ethereal it's insane. And I know it's not all about looks. You're personality is definitely 100xs better than how you look, which I didn't know could be possible... but i can't let you think so little of yourself. You should feel confident in your own skin- and you... you deserve it tae. You're small imperfections make you perfect. You're eyes sparkle. You're random freckles remind me that you're real, and not an angel, although you may resemble one. Youre the definition of beauty, you-" Jungkook cuts himself off, noticing he was ranting so much.

He doesn't know where this sudden confidence comes from, but he's glad to tell it to taehyung because he truly believes he deserves to know.

Taehyungs mouth opens, but he can't form words, "Jungkook, I-" he shakes his head and laughs a little.
