Beautiful Stranger II Taekook

2. Drunk

"Thank you so much for letting me sleepover." Jungkook said as he stood on the doorstep of Taehyung's apartment building.

The night had gone pretty well. Jungkook taught Taehyung how to make five-minute cakes and they had eaten it while watching a movie, to which Jungkook had quietly muttered something about it being way too old? It was Spider-Man homecoming, the movie could be max two years old. Taehyung had shoved it off pretty quickly tho. After the movie, they went to bed. Jungkook slept in the guest room, wrapped in all the sheets Taehyung could find in the house while Taehyung himself laid there in the heat, dying in his pajamas.

Jungkook was dressed in one of Taehyung's old sweaters after the blue boy had literally forced Jungkook to wear it. Taehyung smiled at the sight, feeling rather uncomfortable and proud at the same time. Uncomfortable because it was eighty degrees Fahrenheit outside and Jungkook was happily standing there in the thickest sweater ever and proud because damn, he looked cute.

"I had a fun time, I'm definitely going to eat a lot of cake from now on," Taehyung said, making the small boy smile. It went silent for a few seconds. "Uhm, well, if you need something, you know where to find me."

Jungkook nodded, taking a step backwards. "Bye, Taehyung."

Jungkook walked away, almost stumbling over one of the steps. Taehyung watched until he was around the corner of the street, feeling a little empty and very alone.

It was pretty unusual. He'd normally feel relieved after someone left, mostly because it had gone well, but also because he could just be alone for a little while. But he didn't feel it at all now.

Hm...

"Watch out, boy." An older man yelled as Jungkook crossed a pedestrian crossing without looking. He quickly jumped out of the cycling man's way, only to jump against a car.

The owner of the car opened their window, sticking their head out of it. "Are you alright?" He asked. It was a younger man who had way too many bags under his eyes for the age category he resembled to be in.

Jungkook nodded, unsure. He started walking again but he honestly had no idea where he was going. The hotels he had found were all way above his budget, which was really not much.

The man yelled something Jungkook didn't catch but the redhead didn't care enough to stop and ask him to repeat it. He just wanted assurance that he had a good place to stay for the time being.

Until the man started honking. Jungkook turned around, seeing some people look around in confusion as to why the random man on the street was disturbing their peace. He put his hand over his face in embarrassment and walked back to the car.

"Sir, please." He said softly when he was close enough, just wanting to leave. The man frowned before he put the sunglasses he had on down.

He had put his car to the side of the road by that time and stepped out, confusing Jungkook a lot. He slightly opened his mouth, wanting to say something but not knowing what. Until he didn't need to 'cause the man chuckled.

"Jeon Jungkook, didn't think I'd ever see you here." The man said and Jungkook's brain went wild, trying to find any possible connection with the man but not being able to find one. He just dryly stared at the man with his mouth hanging open. The man chuckled again. "You don't know me, I'm Jung Hoseok."

Jungkook indeed didn't recognize the name. He was debating with himself whether he should stay and listen or run. His decision was made pretty quickly when the redhead saw the icon on the man's shirt.

"You're from the U.C.G too?" The small boy asked surprised and the man nodded. "How do you know me?"

"C'mon boy, everyone knows you. You're the most famous person in the U.C.G... Well, were apparently." The man said and Jungkook scratched his neck, feeling a little ashamed. "May I ask what someone like you could've done to end up here."

Jungkook sighed. "I don't think I should tell you." He said and Hoseok shrugged.

"Maybe, it's not like I'd be able to do anything with it." He casually said and Jungkook sighed.

"Alright."

-

"Oh my god- did he really?!" Hoseok giggled and Jungkook nodded, slapping his knee while dying of laughter.

The two had gone to a bar after a while of talking and found out they got along pretty well. They were already pretty tipsy and it was clearly visible on both of them.

The bartender shoved a drink in Jungkook's way and Jungkook looked at him with a small bit of confusion. "I didn't order that?" He said questioning, still clearly audible in his voice that he had been laughing.

"The gentleman over there did." The bartender said, pointing behind him and the small boy looked at the person.

It was Taehyung, he was looking at the boy with a sweet, goofy smile and happy eyes. He gave Jungkook a small wave, waiting for him to do the same. But the redhead didn't react.

It wasn't like Jungkook didn't want to respond. He was just caught up in the beauty of the blue boy. He asked himself how he hadn't noticed this the first time they met.

He looked so handsome yet elegant in the Hawaiian style clothing he was wearing, the colors making his slightly tanned skin shine in the bar's blacklight. Jungkook felt very, very gay.

After a solid two minutes of staring, where Hoseok had started a pretty interesting talk about dick shapes with the person sitting on the other side of him, Jungkook finally waved back. It made him look like a complete idiot to the other but Taehyung didn't really care. He just laughed.

The small boy looked down at the counter, feeling a little stupid for what just happened. He looked up again when he felt a hand touching his shoulder.

"The house is pretty empty without you." The person who the hand belonged to said and Jungkook looked him in the eyes.

He smiled. "You've known me for less than 24 hours," Jungkook stated and Taehyung sighed sadly. "B-but I miss you." Jungkook quickly said, not liking the other's sad face.

Taehyung smiled. The two stared at each other for a moment before the blue boy put his hand on Jungkook's cheek. "You literally radiate warmth, Jungkook." He said, Jungkook not responding due to how taken aback he was from the sudden touch of the pretty much stranger.

Taehyung rubbed his thumb over the small boy's cheek. "Is it a part of your sickness?" He asked and Jungkook stared at him, having no idea what the other was talking about.

Until he realized the dumb excuse he had came up with the night before. The redhead 'sadly' smiled and nodded.

Jungkook was pretty sure Taehyung was tipsy, if not completely drunk. He could also tell that the other was a very touchy drunk, judging from the fact that he hadn't touched him the night before but he did now. Except holding each other's hand on the way to Taehyung's apartment, of course.

Taehyung moved his hand from the others cheek to his hair, looking Jungkook In the eyes to make sure he wasn't

Then he did something he maybe shouldn't have. Sober him had been thinking about it since he'd first seen him and drunk him brought the thoughts in action. He pulled the smaller boy closer by his hair and leaned in himself, closing the small gap that was left between their faces into a sloppy kiss.
