they entered the wrecked and ruined apartment flat at around five am. jeongguk was completely unprepared for what was inside, though not shocked. taehyung had made a lot of noise the previous night and the older wasn't surprised to see the mess.
taehyung went ahead and began searching for his phone whilst the taller inspected the mess that the silver had made. there were a lot of broken ornaments, chipped, scratched and fallen furniture and, strangely enough, a bathtub with pink water in the centre of the living room.
why the fuck is there a bathtub in the middle of the living room?
the ravenette approached the tub, hearing a clang as he stepped on something. reaching down, he lifted his black boot and grabbed a sharp edge, hissing slightly as he almost cut himself. he swiftly changed his hold and pulled the object up, an eyebrow raising when a blood-encrusted kitchen kife came into view.
so that was what taehyung had used to cut himself.
the said boy walked around the corner at that moment, a sleek, rose gold iphone x in his right hand. he walked over to jeongguk, who was staring at the bathtub filled with bloody water and looked up at the older. there was a look in his eyes that made taehyung feel fuzzy inside.
the silver slipped his phone into his back pocket and sat at the edge of the tub, ignoring the taller's curious eyes as he dipped his fingers into the cold, pink water, swirling them around, watching the surface ripple with small waves.
jeongguk found some sort of admiration for the boy. he was so brave for being able to effortlessly visit the site of his near-suicide without completely breaking down into an anxiety attack. taehyung looked up at him, eyes sparkling with unshed tears as he stared at the ravenette, the older sighing as he dropped the knife and sat next to the silver, pulling him into his chest and rubbing comforting circles on his back.

eventually, they made it to a different neighbourhood, the ravenette feeling out of place in an area full of pastel colours, even taehyung himself seemed to be the type who decorated his room in pastel colours. they walked towards a baby pink apartment block as the shorter took his hand and dragged him inside, running up the steps to the very top.
he just got out of the hospital for nearly killing himself and he's already running. how much energy can one person have?
the door to the younger's apartment was painted a pastel yellow, his keys an assortment of pastel colours. taking the blue one, he unlocked the door and dragged the taller inside. the silver slipped off his shoes at the entrance, jeongguk doing the same before getting tugged into the living room.
surprisingly, the older quite liked the decor, despite it being completely pastel. taehyung sat him down on the sofa before sitting down next to him, sighing and laying his head on jeongguk's shoulder. the aforementioned was shocked at the sudden action, but it's not like he was complaining. he quite liked the skin-ship, despite not really being a big fan of it with his other friends.
"would you like anything?", the younger questioned in a soft voice. "tea, coffee, water maybe?"
jeongguk smiled softly at the silver's antics, wrapping his arms around taehyung's waist, bringing him closer.
"no, not really", he mumbled. "but i do want to take a nap", he paused for a moment, looking down at the shorter who was snuggled up to his side. "and maybe cuddle?"
at the word cuddle, the smaller let out an excited squeal and he immediately stood up, intertwining their fingers and dragging the ravenette into his bedroom, jeongguk almost cooing at how many stuffies taehyung had on his bed.
the room was all in a solid pastel pink that was almost white, the translucent curtains had false roses in several shades of pink sown onto them in dangling strips, the bedsheets were grey, pink and white, several fuzzy, sequined, striped and patterned pillows crowded the bed.
his desk had rows and rows of stuffies on the shelves, the very top being a collection of pokemon stuffies. a pink sofa chair with a faux fur blanket draped over it sat in the very left corner of his room, a pink ottoman in front of it.
the wall above his bed had 'gucci' in silver lettering, lined by pink led lights and the entire room had led lights stuck on the wall. the lights reminded jeongguk of tik tok.
the younger dragged him to the bed, peeling back the duvet and several blankets layered on top of the duvet itself, getting under the sheets before making grabby hands towards the older, making jeongguk chuckle before he shed his leather jacket and t-shirt before crawling into the bed with the smaller.
taehyung stared at jeongguk's sculpted body before realising that he was staring and looked away, blushing heavily, making the ravenette chuckle as he carded his fingers through the younger's hair, resulting in a hum from the silver as he turned back around and latched himself onto jeongguk, quickly falling into a deep sleep,
the older watched with a soft smile on his face as he continued to massage the shorter's scalp, sometimes just caressing taehyung's hair, marvelling at how soft it felt.
it was strange for jeongguk. he had never felt this way. he had never, in his entire life, wanted to protect someone so badly, wanted to wrap someone in his arms and shelter him from the world, keep him from getting hurt and help them avoid any emotional pain, not even his best friends, whom he now considered his family.
kim namjoon and kim seokjin, who were together, and the polyamorous relationship, jung hoseok, min yoongi and park jimin. jimin had actually come to them roughly one and a half years ago through yoongi, the mint-haired older having saved him from domestic abuse.
when the orange-haired boy arrived at their shared flat, he had been crying and sobbing, saying his best friend was right and that he should have just trusted his best friend instead of letting false love blind him. he continued on, talking about how he had thrown away fourteen years of friendship for someone who ended up physically hurting him.
around three months after his arrival, yoongi and hoseok announced that jimin was with them now, and they had all been happy for them, teasing jeongguk since he was single, but he didn't care.
until recently, the ravenette hadn't found someone who was able to make his heart race and his stomach feel fuzzy and fluttery. he hadn't met anyone who intrigued him and captivated his attention until he came across taehyung.
the boy just had something about him that jeongguk was attracted to. he knew he would have to get to know taehyung first before he would take the next step in their relationship, but he knew he wanted something more with the boy.
