Thin Walls

Chapter 8

He's not saying Taehyung looked great, but that's also exactly what he's saying. The other somehow managed to pull off jeans and a t-shirt better than anyone Jungkook's ever seen. I mean you could say he's opinion is biased, but it's still true. 

There was something about just seeing Taehyung that took his breath away. The feeling was something he knew, but one he's tried to ignore for almost three years now. 

But it's that same feeling that had him still stuck in the middle of the open doorway, just staring at Taehyung. As soon as he opened the door, Jungkook was taken aback by how beautiful he looked, eyes unwavering from the man before him. 

Taehyung on the other hand was also staring at Jungkook, but with a completely different thought in mind. He didn't want to be rude and tell Jungkook to stop being weird, but that's also exactly what he wanted to do. 

He was trying to figure out why Jungkook was staring at him so intensly. He looked down at his clothes and felt around his face and hair, checking if anything was out of place or if something was there that wasn't supposed to be, but he found nothing. 

So why is Jungkook staring at him? Weird. 

"I don't want to interrupt your staring contest but are you coming in or?"  Taehyung looked at Jungkook suggestively, the other seeming to take the hint and eventually coming to his senses and stepping into the apartment, letting Taehyung close the door. 

When they were inside, Taehyung looked Jungkook up and down quickly, taking into account how good the other looked in casual clothes compared to the suits he always sees him in. It was definitely a nice change. 

It was while he was checking out Jungkook that he noticed the box of chocolates and champagne bottle that was in his left hand. 

"Trying to seduce me Jeon?" He gestured towards the items. 

Jungkook looked down at his hand and the back up to Taehyung, a slight smirk on his face when he looked up again. "If that's what you want, I could make that happen..." 

"You-" Taheyung cut himself off and just stared at Jungkook before scoffing and walking past him towards the dining room, not in the mood to have this conversation. 

He continued walking for a bit until Jungkook's hand gently held him back by his waist, feeling a weird flutter in his stomach which made him uncomfortable, yet relaxed at the same time. 

Jungkook just smirked at the way Taehyung's body tensed. In the slight reflection in the window he could see Taehyung having an internal battle with himself, seemingly about whether to stay in Jungkook's arms or not. But he still hasn't moved yet, so it seems as if he chose to stay. 

Sensing the others slightly relaxed stance, Jungkook put the chocolates and champagne down on the closest counter, hand never leaving Taehyung's waist. Once he put them down he hesitantly attached his other hand to the other side of Taehyungs waist, revelling in the feeling of being able to touch him like this again. 

He gently tugged on Taehyung's waist, pulling him back against his chest. His thumbs traced light circles on Taehyung's waist, almost soothing the remaining tension throughout Taehyung's body. 

Jungkook slowly leaned forward, his breath fanning over the shell of Taehyung's ear sending shivers done his spine. Jungkook let out a soft deep chuckle, right before whispering softly into his ear, "You're too easy, Taehyung..." 

Taehyung tensed again and somehow managed to get his thoughts back on track. He used his hands to remove Jungkook's grip on his waist, suddenly feeling uneasy. There was something in the way he held him that felt familiar, almost as if they'd been like that before, but when? He took a few deep breaths before managing to sum up his confidence and turn to face Jungkook.
