Yes! He Bottomed

Third Person POV

Jimin grabbed Taehyung’s arm once he’d calmed down again and led him slowly out of the room. He was nervously fidgeting around, not knowing what to expect.

Jimin looked at him, smiling slightly to try and comfort him.

“You’ve met Jin Hyung already, and the others are really nice. Well, Yoongi can be a bit blunt sometimes, but he means no ill will."

Taehyung nodded, biting his lower lip as they rounded a corner and found themselves in an open room.

Four men were sitting on the couch, conversing quietly, but they all stopped when they noticed two new comers entering.

“Jimin.” Namjoon greeted. His eyes flicked over to the man beside him. “And you must be Taehyung.” He rose and walked over, extending a hand. Taehyung couldn’t stop his body from flinching ever so slightly at the movement, but he hesitantly reached out and took his hand. “The name’s Kim Namjoon.”

“N-Nice to m-meet you.” Taehyung managed.

Namjoon retracted his arm and stood back a bit, to study the man. “We haven’t heard so much about you. And we're all curious to know how you know Jungkook.”

“I-I think you know, already.” Taehyung muttered.

“Well, even so.” Namjoon said with a smile. “We want to hear it from you.” Taehyung nodded and was led over to the others and seated down.

“Hi! I’m Hoseok. You can call me Hyung, too, I wouldn’t mind.”

“Yoongi.” The one next to him offered simply. Taehyung nodded, feeling his eyes go a bit wide. Jin scoffed and smacked Yoongi on the back of his head.

“Ow!”

“Be nice.” The man muttered.

Yoongi muttered something else underneath his breath, but from another threat from Jin, was quiet.

They all turned their attention back to Taehyung.

He shuffled open his seat a bit uncomfortably.

“So, how do you know Jungkook?”

“I...m-met him in high school.”

“Okay, let me cut to the chase. He really bottomed?”

“We’ve already established this!” Jimin groaned.

“But I can’t believe it! And I never will!”

“D-does it matter?” Taehyung asked quietly.

“Of course it does! We gotta know if he took it up the ass!”

“Enough.” A voice growled out. Everyone fell silent. Jungkook stepped into the living room. “If you must know, Yes, I have bottomed before.” Jungkook ground out. “And it was only for one person I would willingly do so. So stopped pestering him with questions.”

The others remained silent as Jeon glared at them.

They started to shuffle around uncomfortably in their seats. Taehyung sighed. "It shouldn't matter, anyway. It was an equal relationship and no one was less important just because they topped or bottomed in bed."

"I know it was just--"

"C-can we stop talking about this? Please?"

He others nodded, already feeling bad.

Taehyung stood slowly and walked over to Jungkook.

"C-can we talk?" He said quietly.

Jungkook nodded, slightly stiff.

They'd already talked. And every time they'd 'talked' it hasn't been about something good.

Was Taehyung having second thoughts about them again?

No, he wouldn't. He said he'd wanted to start over.

They'd agreed to start fresh.

They made their way to an office and Jungkook closed the door behind them.

"What did you need to talk about?"

"Jimin...told me about your occupation." Taehyung whispered. Jungkook paused, feeling a small wave of panic coursing through his body.

"A-and?"

"I just..."

Here it comes.

The rejection.

"I'm sorry, it may be hard me, but I love you, bun." Taehyung whispered. "I just wanted to talk to you about it, as it can't be something I can just ignore. But...I can accept it. Well, I can try to, at least."

Jungkook was left frozen in shock, but he felt a smile widen onto his lips. He rushed forward and gently enveloped the man into his arms.

"God, I love you so much, Taehyung."

"I...love you, too." Taehyung embraced the man as well, loving the warmth he was getting.

They pulled away and Jungkook couldn't keep the smile off of his face. "Well...we've had one to many deep conversations already, today. How about we just go and relax for a bit?"

"Can we cuddle?"

"Yes, you big pile of mush, we can cuddle." Jungkook whispered.

Once again he was hit with the feeling of knowing that the two of them had a lot to work out.

That the two still had a lot left to say to one another.

But right now they would take what small happiness they had.
