03 | many ridiculous rules

━CHAPTER THREE━

the ride to taehyung's was quiet.

jeongguk tapped around on his phone, looking at memes with little interest.

he was just trying to distract himself from the extremely intimidating male driving the car next to him. a large veiny tanned hand gripping the steering wheel, effortlessly turning with such grace it even held the younger captivated.¨

and before jeongguk knew it, they parked in some sort of big garage where several other vehicles stood.

taehyung got out, and quickly walked to the other side to open the door for the teen. jeongguk was a little taken aback at the gesture, but just replied with an eyeroll as he climbed out.

he followed the much taller figure out of the parking garage, silence enveloped them in the elevator as the older punched the 'floor 9' button. the highest floor.

"you live at the top, huh?" the teen found himself pointing out, the silence was kind of killing him and making him feel slightly awkward.

taehyung looked at the smaller boy, then tilted his head to the side with a glint of playfulness in his eyes.

"darling, i own this entire building."

jeongguk's eyes widen, both at the shocking revelation and nickname.

"w-what?"

taehyung's melodic chuckle resonated in the small box space. and suddenly the teenager feels trapped between the walls, as if they were closing in on him.

"you get so much money just for letting teenagers stay at your place? damn, i should re-think my career choices." jeongguk joked, a little sarcastically.

"this is only a side-job, jeongguk." taehyung mentions. "i have a much better paying job otherwise." the elevator dinged and the two stepped out into large room.

a living room.

"although, i do like to stay humble. i only use the top floor of the building, the first few ones are rented out for offices and things like that." the older hanged up his coat, and gestured for the younger to give him his.

jeongguk just made an 'ew' face and stomped right into the room, shoes on and all.

taehyung only tsked.

of course, the younger did this on purpose, he knew it would piss the taller male off. he smirked in victory when he heard the other's reaction.

he slung his bag onto some sort of small table, and walked around the room.

it was a pretty simple living room. a white fluffy carpet. a flat-screen tv. a nice broad white couch. a wooden coffee table decorated with a bouquet of flowers tucked into a glass vase.

it looked normal.

which, for some reason, jeongguk wasn't expecting at all.

"we need to have that talk now." the older suddenly voiced, striding over to the open kitchen. he waved the younger over, jeongguk gave another eye roll but followed him.

"what's the talk?"

"there are rules." the two males sat at the kitchen counter, taehyung glided over a piece of paper to the teenager. the smaller picked it up in his dainty fingers, eyes skimming over the sheet.

"read them out for me, darling." taehyung rested his chin into the palm of his cheek, his elbow resting on the countertop and he watched the younger, looking amused.
