Chapter 18

Taehyung woke up in the middle of the night, and he immediately got out of bed.

He unlocked the door and looked around to see that all the lights are off, and he assumed that everyone was sleeping. It was a relief to him- maybe nobody heard them. Maybe they were safe.

But as he closed the door and crawled back into bed with jungkook, he could feel his heart parting into two. One part craved jungkook, and everything they had together while the other was terrified of what everybody will think.

All he knew was that he loved jungkook more than anything, and that he was so precious to him but he couldn't help his fear. They were surrounded with homophobes (as far as he knew), the only thing comforting him was how strong seokjin and namjoon were, being together so proudly in a world where being gay was more than just a sin.

He looked at jungkook, his heart swelling up with love and happiness, and thought; I wanna spend everyday like this. Every night like this. Every moment of my life... it was more than just two boys kissing each other. It was love, and he could feel it whenever jungkook were around- no, scratch that- all the time. With him or without him- his heart ached no matter what.

It was hard to fall asleep with all of that on his mind, so instead he studied Jungkook's features, tracing them with his fingers and biting his lip. His eyes and long eyelashes, red lips still bruised from where he bit them so rudely and his perfect nose which jungkook was always insecure about- he loved it.

He smiled thinking about a child of their own, one that'll have jungkook's nose and eyes and lips- maybe taehyung's hair- it didn't matter.

All that mattered was that he really wanted what they had. He really loved jungkook, really wanted jungkook. He wanted him, and that's almost equivalent to love- because unless you want to dedicate your life to someone, and want to care for that person, love isn't enough. There must be responsibility too.

He felt his eyes close, and he moved closer to jungkook, holding him tight.

And maybe he fell asleep somehow.

" today is a very exciting day! " seokjin giggled and bumped namjoon's shoulder, who choked on his coffee, " yeah- yeah. We planned an interesting activity for you guys. "

Kai looked at them and rolled his eyes, quickly returning to look at his phone and Jimin sat beside him, " what kind of activity? "

" better be good... " hoseok sighed and ate his cereal. He was still exhausted from their usual morning workout and every muscle hurt; but food made it better.

" it involves something we thought you'd like, " seokjin hummed, arms wrapped around namjoon in a back hug lazily, " or at least some of you like. " he said looking at jungkook.

Jungkook's eyes widened but he kept his mouth shut. " girls, " namjoon said, " we're meeting girls today. "

And of course hoseok glanced back at jungkook, and so did seokjin and namjoon, Jimin sighing and sipping his tea while kai continued to play sudoku on his phone. Shit's awkward.

" damn, finally bruh! Y'all really took your sweet ass time with this... I'm ready for some ladies! Yeah! Tits and stuff... " jungkook said in his best manly voice- attempting to copy taehyung's alpha voice. Hoseok sighed and took his empty bowl to the sink.

" call your friends down here so we could explain why we're meeting them. " namjoon finally said after some time and got up.
