Taekook || Siren!AU / Mermaid!AU / Deaf!AU
The Pacific Ocean holds secrets beneath its waters. Secrets like sirens, hunters that lure their prey into the deep with their Voices. But when a diving accident renders Jeon Jungkook deaf, Kim Taehyung fin...
Hello and welcome to a new chapter! Just so you're aware, my friend and I are working on a writing collab/challenge on Tumblr, and our resulting stories will be posted tomorrow at 9pm EST. It's a vampire AU, and I will post it here as well, but if you'd like to follow me on Tumblr, my username is bangtanramsia. Okay, that's all, let's get to the new chapter!

Jungkook learns.

Jungkook stayed rooted to the bed for a while after Taehyung left, blood buzzing. He felt sated, sure, but also nervous. What if Taehyung thought he was too easy now? What if he was disgusted? Great job, Kook, who knew? All it'd take was him telling you you're together to get in your pants.
He groaned, burying his face in his hands. How was Taehyung so good at that, anyway? That was the best handjob Jungkook had ever gotten, though to be fair, his level of experience was pretty low. What if he wasn't as good? What if he couldn't make Taehyung happy?
"Shit!" he shouted, jolting off the bed.
Fucking idiot. That's what he was. He hadn't offered to return the favor! But, then again, Taehyung hadn't asked. What if he didn't want Jungkook to touch him? Why wouldn't he want that? Why -
Why was Jungkook being a little bitch about this?
He paced away from the bed, grumbling. He was not this stupid. No. No way. Get a grip.
God, Taehyung, he mused. What are you doing to me?
The bathroom wasn't really a room, per se, but it was behind a privacy screen and that was enough. There was a pool of freshwater (how that happened, Jungkook wasn't sure) large enough to relax in, always a warm temperature thanks to the little orbs of light embedded in its sides. He'd bathed in it once before, but somehow the water was always clear and clean. Taehyung had just shrugged when Jungkook asked him how it worked. ("Do you know how your own plumbing works, Kookie? My hyungs helped me build this place, they're the ones that did this part.") A ledge of stone jutted out of the wall with a small pool of the same strange freshwater that always stayed clean, a bar of soap that Hoseok had made (according to Taehyung) sitting on the ledge. As for a toilet, there was a literal hole in the floor that required squatting if one needed to sit for any reason. There wasn't a flush mechanism, but Taehyung managed to offer a half-assed explanation that pressure differences between the grotto and the ocean outside created a vacuum effect.
