JUNGKOOK

The rest of the breakfast, everything seemed to go back to normal as we all decided to ditch the topic from earlier. The only thing I notice was the nervous looks Taehyung kept giving around.

For some reason, even if we decided to keep it a secret, I am maybe too relaxed for all of this. I wouldn't mind if they found out another way. I actually felt ready to tell them right now.

Everything is new for us and I feel like something this huge should be talked about with everyone. And who are our brothers to not accept our relationship? They always knew how close Taehyung and I are.

After breakfast was done, we played rock paper scissors to decide who does the dishes. Everyone knows we would also select the next president of Korea through rock paper scissors if we could.

I was relieved that it were Namjoon and Hoseok who had to do the dishes, knowing that Taehyung and I can use that spare time to talk about earlier. Taehyung went into his room and I followed him and entered a little later.

"Hi," I spoke once I entered.

It took Taehyung a smile and not a whole second to run towards me and cling himself to me. I caught him in my arms effortlessly, welcomed his lovely hug with a chuckle and a smile. Oh what this man does to me.

"Already missed this, hmm?" I laughed, placing a kiss on the side of Taehyung's head.

"You don't know. I don't want to waste any opportunity."

I grin, brushing my hand through his soft hair. "There's more to come."

Taehyung's smile softened and I notice the way his thoughts kept running again.

"What are you thinking about?" I asked softly.

He grabbed my hand, holding it with both of his hands. A nervous gesture. "Earlier... you implied you said hurtful things. That's not true."

Surprised, I watched his genuine expression. "Yes it is, though. I made you cry—

"But you didn't intend to. You said.. you know that we are just brothers and that's just totally normal and the only reason it hurt me was because of how I felt. You didn't intend to hurt me, you just kept our image in front of that Army."

It made sense, yet I still felt guilty for what I said, considering where we ended up right now. "Deliberately or not, what I said hurt you and I don't know how to make it up to you, besides show you that none of that is true."

"I know now that it's not true," he smiled softly, then let go of my hand to move closer. A grin appeared in his lips. "I still need you to show me that it's not true, though."

I caught on his mood change and responded to his grin with my own. "Do friends touch each other like this?" I moved my hands down his waist, grabbed his hips and him impossibly close to myself.

"Hmm, maybe?"

I chuckled, knowing he just wanted me to do more.

And who am I not to give in?

"Do friends do this?" I leaned my face close to his, giving his lips only a featherlight kiss.

He fluttered his eyes shut instantly, slowly, humming against my lips. "Now that's valid proof."

I kissed him properly. With everything I had because I might have said we're just friends some time in my life, a week ago even, but none of that is true. Because there's no way in any universe where I would be able to keep Taehyung at such a distance now. Not when his scent and presence is the only thing I crave around me.
