❀ trouble

Chapter 28

Jungkook woke up to a morning he'd wished for many times. His face pressed against taehyung's chest who snored, head lulled back and mouth slightly open, pouty lips a bit chapped after a night's sleep but perfectly kissable either way.

He smiled and got up slowly, trying to make out his whereabouts. He noticed it was taehyung's room, which he shared with Jimin. Looking back at his sleeping boyfriend, not anymore, I guess.

His feelings were still hard to understand. He felt complete again and it seemed just like before everything began to go up in knots, they picked up right where they left and it wasn't supposed to be that way- but it was.

And that's all that mattered.

As jungkook got up, the snoring stopped and taehyung cracked one eye open, " kookie? Come back to bed... " his groggy voice sounded.

" get up shithead. We got stuff to do. "

" hey, " taehyung whined, still half asleep, " it's too early for stuff. Come back... I want kisses. "

How could he say no to kisses?

-

" good morning lovebirds! " seokjin greeted them when they finally came down the stairs.

It was about noon and they had plenty of sleep. Taehyung wore fancy pajamas and finally put some protective serum on his damaged hair which was fading into blonde, Jungkook did the same and even went the extra mile and did a face mask, it's a mental health thing.

" good morning. " they said in unison, " breakfast? " the eldest asked and they nodded together, already syncing up like proper mates.

Soon they would be eating some eggs and toast along with other small things seokjin made and found to be appropriate for brunch, and taehyung would be thinking, why didn't I come out earlier? This is the best I've felt in weeks.

Of course. Who would've known coming out would make it easier... maybe taehyung was blinded with prejudice. And maybe he was just stupid. Probably both.

" I need to call baekhyun hyung and apologize. I'm such a dipshit. " taehyung noted. " jungkookie. "

Jungkook looked up, " yeah? "

" we need to tell Junghyun. "

There was silence, and only the scent of fried eggs filled the air. Besides that, nothing. Jungkook looked at his boyfriend, " you know we can't do that. "

" why not? " taehyung groaned, " we're out. We're... gay. Yeah. Gay. Fuck, saying that felt good. "

Jungkook smiled at his boyfriend's antics. " because... my brother will kill you. We can't. "

Taehyung hummed in agreement, " true. "

And then, a shuffling of feet was heard and before they both turned around Jimin was already jumping into the seat facing them with a huge smile on his face. " good morning! "

" uh fuck, jimin, I'm sorry for taking over the room it j- "

" stop that! I slept at jungkook's last night. It's all empty now that hobi left, so you guys can move there today. I didn't mind it. " he smiled and got up to help seokjin with the food, constantly telling him to sit down and save all of his power for the baby.

" ...hoseok hyung left? " the couple looked at each other.

" yeah, took off when we came back. You two must've been so tired you don't even remember. " seokjin voiced from the kitchen.

The crackling of frying eggs was heard and jungkook sighed. His mate looked at him, " listen, kooks. I need to talk to you about hoseok. " he said softly. His mind immediately went to the kiss, and how bad and guilty it made him feel.
