true to his words, taehyung found himself cooperating with jungkook after a few weeks of living together. he never really tried to engage himself in a proper conversation with his bodyguard as he was busy with school works and going out with jimin.
yes, jungkook has finally allowed taehyung to go out because he doesn't want to repeat the same scenario that a few weeks ago, with always an unexplainable emotion in his eyes when he does so.
the two would always spend their time in taehyung’s dorm cuddling or saying disgusting things to each other, courtesy of jungkook.
he found taehyung being extremely happy and he was trying to trust taehyung too but he just couldn't bring himself to not investigate about jimin.
jimin park. 22
born on busan, south korea
an only child of a famous publishing company CEO
those were the ultimate information he could find from the record section of the university, nothing more. no, he did not do it by himself, he had to call his friend namjoon, who worked under the CIA to do all the work for him.
such a mysterious man with only limited information indicated.
he glanced at the wall clock, and it read 6:20 pm which means taehyung is on his way to the dorm soon, he grabbed his phone from the table and started hastily dialing his friend’s number, putting the conversation on speaker as he stared at files below him.
“hey?” a gravelly voice was heard at the end of the line.
“hey hyung, just want to find out if you already started conducting your additional research about park jimin?”
“ah yeah, the boyfriend of the president’s son right?” answered namjoon.
“yes, taehyung’s boyfriend..”
jungkook was too immersed in conversing with namjoon that he didn't hear that front door opening.
“why are you investigating my boyfriend?” taehyung asked standing in the door way with a confuse look on his face.
this had jungkook’s eyes widen and the next he knew he was already scrambling to end the call, “ah shit. i’ll call you back later hyung.”
“taehyung..” he faced the other acting nonchalant, “you're back—”
“im asking you mr. jeon, why the fuck are you investigating my boyfriend?” taehyung repeated, crease forming in the middle of his eyebrows.
“it's for safety purposes taehyung.” jungkook said in a calm tone.
“again with the safety purposes?” the other snorted, “with my boyfriend? how dare you?” taehyung pointed at jungkook accusingly.
“because i dare taehyung, besides.. you don't even exactly know your boyfriend yet.” jungkook said air-quoting the second to the last word, snorting.
“what the hell are you talking about? ofcourse i know jimin! stop talking nonsense—” taehyung stated disbelievingly, hands flying in the air.
“are you sure?” jungkook inquiried, raising his eyebrows at taehyung.
this demeanor had the other hesitating, does he really know who jimis is?
“i mean, you could see it for yourself if you want to.” jungkook shrugged, leaving taehyung hanging right infront of the door to get his leather jacket.
“come with me.” said jungkook who opened the door for taehyung.
taehyung battling himself internally, why does he feel so convinced with jungkook’s words? why does he feel like something’s coming up? he closed his eyes and gulped nervously. does he really wanna take the risk?
he locked eyes with jungkook who was patiently waiting for him, he heaved a deep sigh and “where are we going?”
〣〣
later that night, taehyung found himself riding jungkook’s motorcycle while clutching the man’s middle for dear life while closing his eyes.
“could you please go a little slower?” he pleaded a while ago but jungkook only answered “no. i want you to see the real park jimin so you could get rid off him fast.” as he proceeded to drive the motorcycle much faster.
taehyung swore he was about to pass out but when jungkook told him to let go, he only buried his face at the hard back of jungkook.
“trust me taehyung, you’ll feel a bit more liberated.” jungkook shouted into the airy night.
“are you sure?” he yelled back, eyes still closed.
“yes. do you trust me?” asked jungkook who slightly glanced at taehyung.
taehyung contemplated for awhile but still answered honestly, “i do. yes, i trust you!”
then, he felt his hands being detached from jungkook’s torso while he slowly opened his eyes.
“relax, it will be fun.” he heard jungkook yelled before he leaned back, one hand now holding onto jungkook’s shoulder.
taehyung never felt so liberated and free when he felt the cool breeze of air gently hitting his skin, and just like what jungkook have said, indeed— riding the motorcycle at night while waving your hands around like an excited monkey was so much fun.
taehyung laughed from the euphoria inside his stomach, he feels like evaporating with the cold air and just be like that forever.
“told you.” jungkook comments as he parked the motorcycle in a unfamiliar secluded, forest.
“this could be the best night of my life!” taehyung squealed like a child. “thank you jungkook.”
“..but happiness aren't meant to last long.” jungkook stood up, chuckling. “when i asked you if you really knew who jimin is, why did you hesitated?” he asked taehyung whose smile slowly vanished from his face.
“you made me doubt my belief. you made me curious about my own boyfriend even more. i don't even know why i'm here with you but the voice in my head says it’s the right decision.” taehyung answered looking at jungkook unexplainably.
the man infront of him had the power to manipulate his beliefs and he felt like it was the right to do despite it being scary.
“you ready to see your boyfriend?”
“im scared.. but” taehyung stopped and looked jungkook, “i trust you.”
