Jungkook somehow pulls Taehyung towards his car. He is stern on getting a piggyback ride, muttering something gibberish into Jungkook's neck but the younger ignores him.

Jungkook opens the door of the passenger seat, "C'mon Tae, get inside." He grabs Taehyung's waist to support his weight, the elder lets out a whine, "don't wanna," Taehyung says, pouting, tugging at Jungkook's shirt.

"I'll buy you strawberries if you get inside the car."

Taehyung quickly gets inside the car, smiling, looking like a kid who just scored an A+ on a math test. Jungkook can't help but smile at his kiddish behavior.

Jungkook walks around the car to take the driver's seat, he puts on his seatbelt and then bends to put on Taehyung's seatbelt too. Taehyung mostly stays quiet, letting Jungkook do whatever he wants.

"Taehyung, give me your address," Jungkook says, pulling out his phone and giving it to the elder to put his address on the maps.

Taehyung is lost in his own world, drunk out of his mind to even process what Jungkook is saying, "What address?" he says, eyebrows scrunched.

"Where do you live?" Jungkook tries again, hoping that Taehyung will understand this time. He doesn't.

"In my home, with Tannie!" he says, smiling at Jungkook, all excited to talk about Yeontan. Taehyung is being very difficult and Jungkook is starting to have a headache.

"You know what, never mind. I'll take you to my apartment." Jungkook sighs, driving his car towards his own condo. Jungkook doesn't really have a problem with Taehyung spending a night at his apartment. It's not the night, it's the morning that Jungkook is more worried about.

The car ride to the apartment is silent, save for some gibberish words that Taehyung says to Jungkook when he sees something intriguing outside. By the time they reach the apartment, Taehyung is dozing off, trying to fight the sleep and failing.

Taehyung whines again for a piggyback ride and this time Jungkook gives in, especially because pulling the elder towards the apartment seems like a task that will take the entire night. Taehyung rests his chin on Jungkook's shoulders and clings tightly to him, arms circling around Jungkook's neck and legs locked around his waist.

Jungkook struggles a bit while opening the lock of the door, when he does, he walks straight towards the bedroom to drop Taehyung on the bed. Taehyung lets out a small 'of' when his butt hits the mattress. Four years ago Jungkook would have crawled between his legs and kissed him dumb, but it's four years later and right now he cannot do anything except wallow in his own pity.

"Let me remove your shoes and then you can sleep," Jungkook says, squatting down to the bed level to tug Taehyung's shoes off, Taehyung pulls his leg back, "Why would you remove my shoes?"

"Because you're drunk." Jungkook wraps his hand around Taehyung's ankle to tug his leg forward, he pulls it back.

"No, I'm gay," he says, enjoying the game of tug and pull that they both are playing with his leg.

"You're drunk and--"

"You can't think straight when you're drunk, so m' gay," Taehyung cuts off Jungkook's words, laughing at his own joke, nudging his shoe on the younger's shoulder.

Jungkook wants to leave Taehyung with his shoes and overcoat on, by his own, but he decides against it. Ignoring Taehyung, he tugs on his leg and pulls it to remove his shoes. Taehyung doesn't protest this time, more focused on the joke he made and smiling to himself when he finds it funny.

Once Jungkook is done he removes Taehyung's jacket, he is wearing a turtleneck beneath it, but the hickeys on his neck are quite visible, purple-pink bruises trailing down from the side of his jaw and disappearing behind his black turtleneck. Jungkook tries to ignore them, tries to focus more on the task that is in his hands, but he fails. Especially when Taehyung looks like this, hair disheveled, lips swollen, tight fitting black sweater which is hugging his insane body proportions, tucked into his fitting jeans. Taehyung looks like an epitome of sin right now and Jungkook wants to kiss him till he cannot breathe.

Jungkook somehow resists his urges though, it's not the right thing to do, he finally removes Taehyung's jacket, deciding to leave him in jeans and sweater. It looks really uncomfortable sleeping like that but Jungkook doesn't want Taehyung kicking him in the balls next morning so he let's the elder be.

However, Taehyung looks like he has other plans, just when Jungkook is about to pull the blanket on Taehyung, he kicks it and smirks to himself, trailing his hand down from his stomach to his belt and then beneath it, "Wh-what are you doing Tae?" Jungkook says, he knows from past experiences that drunk Taehyung can also be horny Taehyung.

"M' removing this damn sweater, s' not comfy," he slurs, moving his hand downward, other hand buckling the belt open. Oh god

Jungkook's sanity is on the line right now, he quickly walks into his closet and takes out a T-shirt, by the time he comes out Taehyung has already removed his sweater. Jungkook gulps when he sees Taehyung's tanned bare chest, muscles defined and taught.

He throws the T-shirt towards Taehyung, "Wear this," he says. Taehyung looks up to him and nods, trying to wear the T-shirt, but in his drunken state his head gets stuck into the sleeves, "Huh?"

Jungkook sighs, "You're a big baby." He helps Taehyung to wear the T-shirt properly, he mumbles a small, "No m' not," when the T-shirt slides down his face, pouting at Jungkook.

"Yes, you're. Now sleep," he says, tugging Taehyung under the covers. He looks very soft right now, sleepy and fluffy. Jungkook wants to cuddle him till he falls asleep but he decides against it. Drunk Taehyung is benevolent, sober Taehyung will scream in Jungkook's face for even touching him.

Jungkook pulls out an extra pair of blankets and his night clothes from the closet and goes into the living room. He changes his clothes and slumps on the couch. All these years and he forgot how tiring it was to handle drunk Taehyung.

He tries not to think much but his mind and his thoughts betray him. Taehyung's kissed lips and hickey adorned neck is not something he can forget. What is more saddening to him is that he cannot even be mad at Taehyung, Jungkook lost that right himself. Whatever or whoever Taehyung does stopped being Jungkook's business right from the day he stepped out and cheated on Taehyung.

Jungkook stares at the ceiling, once, twice, and his vision starts blurring. He doesn't even realize that he is crying until he feels his tear seep down from his eyes to his ears and it starts to get uncomfortable. Jungkook has never been a one to cry, in fact, he hates crying. But he has no control over his emotions when it comes to Taehyung.

He loves Taehyung for fuck's sake.

He cannot be angry at Taehyung for moving on, for choosing some else, for not forgiving Jungkook, he just cannot. But that doesn't mean that he cannot drown in his own guilt, and that's what he does until sleep consumes him.
