True to Taehyung's company's endeavours, he does get busy. He goes to Japan for eight days, coupled with a week before that he spends in Seoul but locked in his office, drowned in work.
Unfortunately for Jungkook these same two weeks happen to be the weeks he has no workload, no emergency cases and no overtime at the clinic. Jungkook comes back home to Yeontan and even though Yeontan is a special dog, he gets tired of seeing dogs at the clinic and then at home. The urge to shove Yeontan under the bed grows day by day but everytime he does think about it - a picture of Taehyung biting off his ass comes to his mind and it might sound sexual but it's not. Jungkook loves his own ass as much as he loves Taehyung's, so he continues to pet Yeontan and gives him extra treats whenever he misses Taehyung a little too much for his heart's liking.
It's fine, really, because it's Thursday night and as promised Taehyung facetimed him when they're both in bed. Good for both of them that there are no time differences between Japan and Korea.
"I'll talk till you fall asleep," Jungkook says, adjusting his phone on the pillow opposite to him so that he can lie down sideways and see Taehyung.
"Sounds really good to me, I'll fall asleep easily listening to your voice." Taehyung copies Jungkook and sets the phone in front of him. White light illuminates his face, flaunting the sharp features. Jungkook's chest fills with fondness when he sees the soft, sleepy and drowsy look on the elders face.
"How was your day?"
Taehyung hums, "M' really tired, had meetings back to back. How was yours?"
"It was good, Yoongi hyung dropped by the clinic today for lunch."
Taehyung scoots closer to his phone and winces, "My back muscles hurt like hell," he says, rubbing his sore back to ease some tension.
"I wish I was there to give you massages." Jungkook grins at the screen when he catches Taehyung smiling at him.
"I wish you were here too. How was your lunch with Yoongi hyung?"
"If I tell you this, Yoongi hyung will whip my ass." Taehyung snorts upon hearing that, curiosity bubbling inside him.
"C'mon Gukkie, tell me - I wouldn't tell anyone." Taehyung tries to muster the best puppy eyes he can and looks at Jungkook through the screen.
"I hate you-" Jungkook rolls his eyes because Taehyung with that adorable look on his face should be illegal, -"Don't tell anyone, not even Jimin. Yoongi Hyung is going to propose."
Taehyung's eyes widen comically when he hears that, "Yoongi Hyung! I always thought it would be Jin Hyung who'd do that."
"I did too, but Hyung is very adamant about it, he already has a ring ready, and with this pace I think he has a wedding planned too."
"That's great, I'm so excited for this!" Taehyung cheers, twisting on the bed so that he is again face to face with Jungkook.
They both talk like that for a while, slurred, sleep slicked words and dopey smiles. Few minutes later when Jungkook is rambling about some cat who scratched his forearm, he hears Taehyung's soft snores and puffed breathing. Fondness spurts into his heart, something very akin to the L word.
He shuts off the face time along with his phone and sighs. It's only eleven in the night, too early for Jungkook to fall asleep, but surprisingly he feels very relaxed.
And even though Taehyung is miles away from him, he doesn't feel the distance. It feels like Taehyung is close to him more than ever. Four years ago, Taehyung would be in the same bed as Jungkook and he'd still feel lonely. But this time it's different, this time he has Taehyung. After a very long time Jungkook is not lonely.
__________________________________
To say that Japan was tiring would be an understatement, the workload really sucked the soul out of Taehyung's body. Seeing his condition and credits to his hard work, the head manager decided to give him a two day holiday coupled with the weekend. Jungkook's face was a very endearing sight when Taehyung told him that so when Jungkook asked if Taehyung can spend the holiday at his home, Taehyung couldn't stay no.
Unfortunately for Jungkook he has work so he grumbles every morning when he has to leave for the clinic and asks for extra kisses which Taehyung willingly gives in to. It's domestic, Taehyung hasn't done this in a very long time but with Jungkook everything is easy.
It's Friday night and Jimin decides to invite them for lunch, now that the passive quarrel between Jungkook and Jimin is resolved they can hang out together like old times. It's fun, very family like.
They all sit on the dining table, eating and talking, "I have some gossip," Jimin says, taking a bite of his bulgogi and humming at the taste.
Everyone who knows Jimin knows that 1. If he invites you for dinner then he has some gossip and 2. Jimin loves gossip. Taehyung wonders who can be stupid enough to confide in Jimin. He might be a good secret keeper but things are never hidden from Jimin, he always knows.
"My sources tell me that Jin hyung is going to propose."
Taehyung hears Jungkook choking on his Japchae and he reaches out to rub his back when Jungkook mumbles a "Sorry, what!?"
"He took me for ring shopping two days ago and told me it's for a 'friend'!? I know he's lying, they've been dating for what- six years now. It's about time they get married."
"Yeah it's about time, I hope everything goes fine for them," Taehyung consoles. What he really meant to say was that this is going to be a chaos with both of them trying to propose to each other at the same time but Jimin doesn't need to know that.
They all talk more about how much of 'disaster gays' Jin and Yoongi are until they're done with their dinner. It's later when Taehyung is helping Jimin load dishes in the dishwasher that Jimin speaks again, "How are things going with Jungkook?"
There it is, Taehyung was expecting this question from some time now. Few days ago maybe he would be unsure but not now, "We're fine, great actually."
Jimin raises a questioning brow at him, "You sure?" Taehyung repeats the question in his head, again and thinks. "Yes, Jungkook- he's trying his best, I can see he wants to make this work."
"So? You trust him now?"
Taehyung wants to say yes, he really does but it doesn't come on instinct. Can he really trust Jungkook? "We're not there yet, but I know we will be. I trust the process."
"That's good to hear." Jimin loads the final dish into the dishwasher and then they both go into the living room where Hoseok and Jungkook are sitting and talking.
A sweet bunny-like smile crawls on Jungkook's face when he sees Taehyung, immediately scooting and making space for him on the couch. Taehyung happily skips over to him and sits beside him, pulling Jungkook closer by his waist.
"What's up with you? Why are you being so cute?" Jungkook questions when he spots red hue decorating Taehyung's cheeks.
"Me? Nothing." Jungkook doesn't believe him and he pinches Taehyung's thigh, rolling his eyes which makes Taehyung giggle.
"I trust us." Taehyung says finally.
"Hmm?"
"I trust us, we'll be fine."
