¤ Make You Feel My Love
Sleeping at Last ↲

I could make you happy, make your dreams come true
There's nothing that I wouldn't do
Go to the ends of this Earth for you
To make you feel my love, oh yes
To make you feel my love

"Press halfway down on the button. Once you hear the beep, you'll know the camera has focused. Then press down the rest of the way."

Taehyung brought the digital camera back up to his face, looking through the viewfinder and seeing Jungkook on the other side. The younger waited patiently, a serene look evening out his expression as he let Taehyung play around with his camera.

It was almost a week after Jimin and Hoseok's dance show, which was a night Taehyung knew he wouldn't forget any time soon. Spending the outing with Jungkook and his family was a dream - it felt like the Jeons were his people. His love for Jiho and Juyeon grew just as it did for Jungkook, and he knew he'd feel the same about Jaewoo soon enough. And while it saddened him that he didn't grow up with supportive and loving parents, he was so thankful to see that families like that did exist.

During the show's intermission, when Jungkook took Juyeon to buy some candy, Jiho pulled Taehyung aside and softly thanked him. She expressed how lucky she felt to have her son taken care of by him, and how her husband agreed with that sentiment as well. The admission was so heartfelt that Taehyung pulled her into a hug, trying to express his gratitude in the only way he knew how.

Now, on a sunny Saturday morning, the two boys were in Taehyung's art room. Jungkook arrived a short while ago, having not slept over the previous night. His mother was out with friends and needed him to watch Juyeon, and Taehyung let them have their own sibling time.

Jungkook had brought his old digital camera, wanting to take portraits of Taehyung for his personal collection. But, once Taehyung saw that the younger was wearing one of his sweaters - a beige cable knit piece - he begged to take pictures of Jungkook instead. So for the last ten or so minutes, he played with the camera and took cute pictures of Jungkook wearing his clothes.

After following the younger's instructions, Taehyung took a picture he particularly liked. Jungkook wore a soft expression, a small smile playing at his lips while his eyes were tender and full of love.

"How do I favorite a picture?" He asked, still gazing at the photo. "I want a copy of this one."

"Let me see." Jungkook joined him, gently taking the camera and pressing a few buttons. "There. I'll print off thirteen copies for you. Think you need more than that?"

Taehyung stuck out his tongue, going to the chair Jungkook was just in. He sat, arms resting on the back. "I'll never get enough photos of you. Though I'm beginning to think I have too many of you clothed."

The younger was adjusting some settings on the camera, but looked up incredulously at those words. "We're literally in a room with over a dozen naked drawings of me. And you're saying you don't have enough?"

"Those are just drawings, I want photographs," Taehyung pouted, hearing a couple clicks as his picture was taken.

"Well, I don't have naked drawings or photos of you. So how is that fair?" Jungkook countered, smiling wide when looking at the most recent image he captured.

That was a fair point. So, to make it more even, Taehyung pulled off his shirt and threw it to the side. Jungkook was so preoccupied looking through the pictures he took that he didn't notice, so Taehyung waited patiently for him to realize.
