More than friends.. (Taekook)

The Taxi Ride - Part 1

It was the end of the Seoul concert and the band members were quickly getting changed to avoid being stuck longer in the changing room, due to the fans descending to the car park. It had been a long day and the boys were ready to go home. Namjoon, Jin, Suga, Jimin and J-Hope were first changed and exited the changing room with hurried chatter between themselves.

"Hurry up you two or you will be stuck here all night" Jin shouted as he left the room.

"We'll take the first car home and wait for the food to arrive" Namjoon said, commenting on their after-concert meal. Today they had ordered a mixture of takeaway options including fried chicken, the members favourite. They also had a selection of beers at home which meant a slightly tipsy evening was sure to present itself.

"We'll try not to eat all the chicken before you get there" Namjoon laughed as he threw his bag over his shoulder and exited the room. As the leader of the group, Namjoon always tried to make sure the boys got home safe and ate properly after long events, such as tonight. They usually had three or more cars to come pick them up, resulting in the members splitting up to ensure they safely got home. J-hope grabbed a bottle of water from the beverage table in the centre of the room and ran to catch up with Namjoon.

"Oh chicken! Last one home has to do the dishes" Jimin commented as he put an arm around Suga, who was quietly listening to music, and left with the others. The rest of the team, including the makeup artists and managers, were tidying up the changing rooms and left swiftly leaving the two boys and a couple stage members. Taehyung and Jungkook were the last two to get changed due leaving the other side of the stage after the closing number. This required a longer walk to get back to the changing rooms, while trying not to get hit with the props and staff working around the stadium. Jungkook was also exhausted after the final few songs, so the walk back to the room took a lot longer than Taehyung had expected.

Taehyung swiftly pulled on his long duffle coat and filled his shoulder bag with the few items he needed from the counter. Quietly, he hummed to himself as his eyes glanced to the corner of the room. Jungkook was still trying to catch his breath after the lengthy and tiresome performance. A thin line of sweat trickled down his neck as he poured water into mouth.

God he's attractive Taehyung thought. Shaking himself from the thought, he grabbed his phone and put his headphones on. All the members were single, despite what tabloids and the media said. The members had been single since the group had debuted, and although the members had other friends including girls, no one was dating that he knew of. He wondered if this was due to the tiresome schedules the members had or if they were too scared of what their agency would say. The older members were focused on creating new music, so they had little time to think of romance or dating. This made sense to Taehyung. Although also busy, the younger members had slightly more time outside of work, maybe this was why romance had crossed his mind?

As he continued to let his mind wonder, Jungkook had gotten changed and was smiling at Taehyung from the other side of the room. He was wearing black sweatpants and a baggy black hoody, a very usual look for Jungkook.

"Are you planning to spend the night here? Because I don't fancy sleeping on the floor. Especially when I know there's food and beer at home" Jungkook laughed and signalled Taehyung to come with him. Smirking to himself, Taehyung followed Jungkook as they were ushered round the many corridors and finally out of the stadium. The car park was at the very bottom of the building and fans had started to accumulate where the cars left. The two boys huddled closer together as their bodyguards surrounded them to the car doors. Jungkook was first in the car and began to get settled when he noticed Taehyung was struggling to get past the growing group of fans. Jungkook's stomach dropped and without much thought, he got out of the car and pulled Taehyung to him. He felt his pulse quicken as he helped Taehyung into the car, by nearly forcing the boy on top of him. With a quick bang the doors were shut and Taehyung looked up to see Jungkook's startled face. Taehyung was sat on top of Jungkook and felt strong thighs under him. Heat creeped to his face. He braces his hands on Jungkook's thighs as he lifted himself off. The car abruptly moved forward, causing Taehyung to fall back onto Jungkook. This time Jungkook, worried for Taehyung, grabbed the boys waist held him still. Both boys were startled by the sudden close proximity and it took several minutes before they separated.

The following hour back to the house was quiet and uneventful apart from the few awkward glances between the boys. As the car entered the drive, Taehyung felt Jungkook's eyes on him. Was he embarrassed about what happened? Taehyung wondered. No, this happens all the time he wouldn't be embarrassed by something like this anymore. Taehyung let out a sigh, his mind wondered to the thought of Jungkook's body so close to him, which resulted in a blush to his cheeks. It's too hot in here...He justified to himself. The two left the car and entered the building, both a little nervous and hot, despite the cool temperature out of the car.
