Azalea [KookV]

28. Counting the days

"Go home." Taehyung glanced at the clock which showed that it's already midnight.

While Jeongguk can only put a pitiful face. "Can't I stay overnight?"

"Nope."

"Tae, please."

"No." Taehyung looked at Jeongguk, his arms crossed in front of his chest.

"Aren't you worried about me? It's already midnight, what if during the way home something bad happened to me? Even though my body is muscular, I'm actually not that strong. I'm a weak man."

Oh, come on, Jeon. You can even kill anyone you want just by looking into their eyes. And you say you're a weak man? But of course, Taehyung is oblivious to that.

"Alright, considering the favour because I once spent the night at your studio."

"You're the best," Jeongguk said while pinching Taehyung's cheeks.

"I'll withdraw my words. Get out of here."

Jeongguk laughed at Taehyung's adorable expression, pursed lips and rounded eyes. A perfect amount of cuteness.

When Jeongguk was about to lay down on the sofa, Taehyung pulled his arm. "What are you doing?"

"Trying to sleep?"

"Do you think I'll let you sleep here?"

"Awww ..." Jeongguk pulls Taehyung's waist closer, thinking that the man would get angry or even slap him, but apparently, Taehyung is staying still.

"Are you worried I'll be cold all night?" Jeongguk added.

"I'm afraid my father will have a heart attack seeing a stranger sleeping in his house." The Azalea quickly dragged Jeongguk to go to his bedroom.

"There are no empty rooms in my house, so you have to sleep here."

"Yes, sir."

"And don't try to do anything," Taehyung warned, pointing his index finger right in front of Jeongguk's face.

"Believe me, I will keep you safe from anything, even from myself."

Taehyung smiled at that, then pushed Jeongguk towards the bathroom in his room. "Clean yourself, then we sleep."

"I feel like I have a husband who's taking care of me so well." Jeongguk teasing Taehyung again, he was addicted to seeing the red blush on his beautiful face.

"Talk nonsense once again, I'll lock you in the bathroom."

After both of them finished cleaning themselves, they lay aside on Taehyung's bed which unfortunately wasn't as big as Jeongguk's bed in his studio. So their bodies are brushed against each other.

"What are you doing?" Jeongguk asked curiously when he saw Taehyung staring at the ceiling while patting his own head.

"I always do it before going to bed."

"When you stayed in my studio, you didn't do it."

"You just didn't see me do it."

"So what are you doing?"

"I'm thanking myself for getting through today," said Taehyung while smiling. He then closed his eyes and murmured, "Taehyung, you have survived a lot. And you will survive whatever is coming."

"You make me even more interested in you." Jeongguk changed his sleeping position to face Taehyung who was also doing the same thing so that both of them lay face to face.

"Are you interested in me because you need something from me?"

Jeongguk was startled to hear that. "Why do you think so?"
