Obsession (vkook)

7

Taehyung is woken up by a continuous knocking against his front door, the gentle taps almost go unnoticed but luckily he is a bit of a light sleeper.

When he opens the door his eyes widen is shock. "Jeongguk?"

The younger looks up at him and Taehyung's even more alarmed by his bruised face.

    "W-What~ Jeongguk, what happened?" Taehyung asks, bringing his hands up to his face. "Who did this to you?"

Jeongguk looks down as a sob leaves his lips, stepping forward and wrapping his arms around Taehyung's torso.

He hugs him back, soothingly petting the his hair. "It's okay."

Taehyung pulls him inside and shuts the door, taking him by the hand and bringing him to the couch.

He turns the light on before going to the bathroom to get the first aid kit, grabbing an ice pack from the freezer.

    "Here, let me see." He stands before him, gently wiping his tears away. "Who did this to you, Gguk?"

    "He knows, Tae. Jimin knows." Jeongguk sniffles. "H-He knows I've been coming here. I-I thought I was careful but I w-wasn't careful enough~"

Taehyung shushes him, not wanting him to get worked up again. "It's okay. Breathe, Gguk."

Jeongguk takes a shaky breath, trying his best to stop crying. "H-He hurt me, Taehyung. He n-never hurt me like this before. He ruined my face, my face is ruined."

    "You aren't ruined, you'll be fine after I clean you up. It looks worse than it is," Taehyung promises as he opens the first aid kit. "He shouldn't've done this, Gguk. This isn't okay."

    "I tried telling him that we study all the time but he didn't believe. He thinks I'm cheating on him." Jeongguk flinches a little when Taehyung wipes the blood from his lip. "I thought if we only met here and the library he'd never notice us."

Taehyung feels a bit selfish for wanting to know exactly what Jeongguk meant by 'us'.

    "I knew there was a chance he'd catch us but I just wanted to be with you, Tae, I still want to be with you," He continues. "You make me so much more happier, like you always know what to say."

Taehyung smiles a little. "You make me happy too, Gguk."

    "I love you, Taehyung."

The blond's movements falter as he dabs the cut on Jeongguk's lip, looking up into the brunette's eyes. "W-What~"

    "I love you," Jeongguk repeats, hesitantly. "I-I know you haven't noticed me but I've noticed you, I've been noticing you for so long. A-And I love you."

Taehyung drops his hand, confusion crossing his features. He didn't understand how Jeongguk could possibly love him.

    "Don't question it, just believe me. Okay? Trust me," The younger says, desperately wanting Taehyung so accept his words. "Don't doubt yourself."

    "You love me?" The blond asks. "Really?"

Jeongguk chuckles, cracking the smallest smile. "I do. I want to be with you."

Taehyung continues to clean up the younger's face. "We can't, not while you're still with Jimin."

    "Why?" He asks.

    "It's wrong," Taehyung answers.

    "So, you don't feel the same?" Jeongguk asks, pushing his hand away from his face. "You don't like me?"

    "I-I do. I mean~ I do have feelings for you~"

    "Then be with me," Jeongguk says, standing. "We can keep it a secret. Nobody has to know."

     "Gguk~"

    "We don't have to tell anyone. If you don't tell anyone I won't. Nobody has to know. Jimin won't know~"

    "Jimin caught you once what makes you think he won't again?" Taehyung asks.

    "We won't make those same mistakes. I know how to keep it from him now," Jeongguk says, putting his arms around Taehyung's waist and pulling his body against his. "We can try, if it doesn't work we'll end it."

Taehyung presses his hands against Jeongguk's chest. "You'll get hurt."

    "Not again," The younger says. "We've already wasted so much time that we could've used together. I don't want to waste anymore time, Tae. Please?"

Taehyung tries to swallow his tears but they form in his eyes, wetting his cheeks.

    "I love you," Jeongguk repeats, closing the space in between them gradually until their lips press together in a gentle kiss.

Taehyung releases a breath he didn't know he was holding when Jeongguk kisses him, his shoulders relaxing and his mind completely consumed by him.

It's like the entire world disappears around them and it's just them, existing in each other's presence and drowning in each other's touch.

Jeongguk deepens the kiss when he feels Taehyung kiss him back, holding him as close as he could in this moment that he wishes could last forever.

Taehyung's hands travel up to Jeongguk's neck, his fingers running through his hair soft hair as he parts his lips, letting the younger's tongue slip into his mouth.

A sound escapes Jeongguk as their tongues explore each other's mouths, his hands gripping Taehyung's waist tighter.

Taehyung breaks the kiss first, leaning his forehead against Jeongguk's as he catches his breath.

Jeongguk wraps his arms fully around Taehyung and lays his head in the crook of his neck.

    "I'll try," Taehyung says after a few silent moments.

    "Thank you."

Jeongguk stays with Taehyung throughout the rest of the night, he sleeps in his bed and they hold each other as if it was the last time they'd ever be able to be at peace alone together.

    "We should go somewhere," Jeongguk says at some point through the night.

    "Where?" Taehyung asks, his voice heavy with sleep.

    "Anywhere away from here."

    "Hm...anywhere?"

    "Anywhere."

Taehyung chuckles, a bit deliriously. "My father has a beach house in Busan. We could go there."

    "Would you have to tell your father?" Jeongguk asks.

    "No. Family access. They know me there," Taehyung says. "The housekeepers live there when no one's there."

    "Could we leave tomorrow?" The younger asks. "Just for a few days?"

    "What are you going to tell Jimin?" Taehyung asks, he wanted to go but he didn't want him to get hurt again.

    "He'll think I've gone home. I usually go home after big fights," He answers, his own words become more and more slurred as he starts to fall asleep.

    "Where do you live?" The older asks out of curiosity, even through his half asleep daze he was curious.

"Let's go to the beach tomorrow."

    "Okay...tomorrow."

    "Tomorrow."
