"Jeongguk I can't believe you did this" Taehyung slams the door once he enters the room, the ravenette was laying on the bed, scrolling his phone-----startled by the presence of Taehyung.

"Geez, what happened?" Jeongguk sits up, the expression on Taehyung's face says one thing---Jeon Jeongguk, you fucked up.

"What day is it?" Taehyung asks, sternly as Jeongguk purses his lips and then speaks.

"Wednesday" the ravenette says with a grin as Taehyung's expression turns into a hurt one----maybe he's overreacting----it's not like Jeongguk would remember it.

"yeah, right-Wednesday" Taehyung says with a bitter chuckle, stands up and grabs his sweater before walking out, Jeongguk follows him.

"Where are you going?" Jeongguk asks, mildly concerned.

"to hell, wanna join?" Taehyung says, obviously annoyed as Jeongguk leans on the wall.

"With you----I may go anywhere baby" Jeongguk says and Taehyung hates how his heart flutters----it should not, he's mad at Jeongguk for forgetting---

The artist stands up, stumps his feet on ground loudly and walks out but before he can open the door he hears Jeongguk's voice.

"Taehyung, I love you." Jeongguk says, this time his voice is deep and a little shaky----- the artist turns around and frowns.

He knows when and why Jeongguk says these words---hates the reason yet always asks.

" Another mission?" he asks, in a mere whisper as the ravenette sighs, walks towards Taehyung and pulls him close to his heart, pats onto his head.

"I will come back for you, for us" Jeongguk whispers these words every time------as if reminding Taehyung that yes, he will come back no matter what---- he is coming back sooner or later.

The artist hates this feeling-----this weird churn of his stomach, this ugly feeling---fear-----fear of something wrong to happen.

Taehyung says nothing, just holds the ravenette's forearm and sighs, keeps his head on his heart and the beating of Jeongguk's heart calms him.

"I love you too gukkie, please stay safe" Taehyung always-----always replies these words, exact words.

These passing minutes----seconds become more precious than before, more valuable and more powerful than before.

"when are you leaving?" He mumbles, the ravenette sighs as he brushes the strands away from Taehyung's face, looks him into eyes and replies.

"tonight" he says and Taehyung feels his heart being shattered in million pieces-----fuck the day it is-----it's not more important than Jeongguk.

Taehyung says nothing, they stay like this-----in each other's arms, feeling the warmth and secure.

"Would you be able to call me? Just for once?" Taehyung asks desperately.

Jeongguk shakes his head, knowing very well that Taehyung will be sad but there are rules and he can't break them, risking his life and his team members.

The artist doesn't leaves that day-----stays in Jeongguk's arm, in their bed the whole day except when the ravenette had to leave, keeps watching him with sad eyes as the ravenette gets ready.

Before leaving, Jeongguk pecks the crown of Taehyung's head making the artist to flutter close his eyes, lips linger their and so does the feeling, a smile appears on their lips and soon their lips lock together in for a luscious kiss----where Jeongguk assures him, promises him that he's gonna come back and Taehyung replies with same----telling him that he will wait for him to come back.
