VENDETTA | VKOOK

┌TWENTY SIX┐

"I don't know, Bam. I've tried asking." Taehyung mumbled into his phone, standing in the corner of the basement. The boys were in the room, and Taehyung had just excused himself to grab a call.

"Well ask again! We need to know how Junghyun was killed, Tae. Jackson's father really wants to know." Bambam said through the phone, and Taehyung rolled his eyes.

"Well tell Jackson's father that I've tried getting information but it's not working. People don't just spill stuff easily. I've gotta go now. Bye." Taehyung said quickly and then cut the call.

When Taehyung turned around, his eyes widened. Jimin stood there, confused look on his face.

Shit.

"Oh. Um- hey Jimin. What-what happened?" Taehyung asked nonchalantly, and Jimin furrowed his eyebrows.

"Who were you talking to?" Jimin asked, and Taehyung gulped, seeing the dubious look on Jimin's face.

"N-no one. Just my.. um.. my friend." Taehyung said quickly, and before Jimin could ask more questions, Taehyung moved past him. "C'mon, let's go in. Namjoon's probably looking for us."

Jimin nodded hesitantly, and Taehyung cleared his throat and walked into the room. The moment he walked in, Jungkook turned his head towards him and his eyes lit up. Yoongi and Namjoon were on the side, quarreling about something or the other as usual. Jungkook was sitting on his own, and smiled giddily when Taehyung came in.

Taehyung felt something in his heart. That feeling that he felt every time he saw the boy. Like his insides were pulsing and contracting, and his organs forming a whirlpool everytime Jungkook smiled.

Taehyung walked up to Jungkook and lifted him up, making him squeal in surprise, and placed him on his lap. "Hello there," Taehyung said, and Jungkook began giggling, hitting Taehyung's chest with his fist.

"You're a meanie." Jungkook giggled, and Taehyung tickled his waist but looked at him with a fond smile.

"Aw, what'd I do?" Taehyung asked, pouting. Jungkook grabbed Taehyung's face and gave him a kiss.

Taehyung closed his eyes, feeling Jungkook's pretty soft lips against his. Fuck, Taehyung could kiss him forever. Taehyung opened his eyes slowly and saw Jungkook biting down on his lip.

"You weren't there when I woke up! You always wake up before me! Next time wake me up too-" Jungkook said, and Taehyung felt a little pang in his heart.

He can never wake Jungkook up because he never fully gets to sleep with him. Getting 2 or 4 hours of sleep is something Taehyung has accustomed himself to- but he feels bad for never getting to properly sleep with Jungkook.

"Sorry. Won't do it again, baby." Taehyung whispered, and Jungkook smiled and they both began kissing again.

"Ahem. That's enough, you two." Namjoon cleared his throat, and both pulled away, flustered. Jungkook bit his lip and turned towards Namjoon, biting his lashes innocently.

"Jungkook, get off Taehyung's lap." Namjoon said, and Jungkook huffed and sat down on the chair beside them, pouting.

Taehyung looked at the boy and couldn't help but smile a little, the way his cheeks puffed out and eyebrows crossed when he was pouting, but he still looked so adorable.

Dammit, he doesn't want to hurt him. He-he can't. He can't hurt him.

Suddenly, the door opened and Jin walked in, looking a little confused. "Has anyone seen Hoseok?"
