Secrets In The Sunset | KTH 18+ ✔️

Chapter Sixty-Two

With my fever broken, I begin to feel like myself again. Taehyung still refuses to leave my side and now that I know that these last days together are for sure the last we'll have for a while, I start to think that he's using my illness as an excuse to spend as much time together as possible. Even if that means staying cooped up in a small room, eating nothing but take-out and doing the same activities together.

But if him using it as an excuse is what he needs to fill the same hole spreading in his heart that I feel spreading in my own, then that's fine with me.

I haven't felt nauseous since Friday morning and I can even feel myself being able to breathe better again. The plane ride back home won't be as miserable as I was thinking it would be. Being incredibly sick while also dealing with an aching heart during a multi-hour plane ride doesn't sound appealing in the least.

"Can we please get out of this hotel room tomorrow?" I beg. "It's my last day here. Even if we just go for a walk in the park. Something!"

He looks me over, judging on if I'm really feeling better or if I'm faking it just because I have cabin fever. "Sure gongju. But if you start to feel bad again, we're coming right back."

I clap my hands and immediately make a what the hell face at my dorky show of excitement. Taehyung chuckles and shakes his head at me as he continues to study for a test he has coming up on Monday. Watching him study brings a smile to my face. The way his brow furrows every so often while he reads and the way his tongue snakes out when he's concentrating on writing down his notes are some of the cutest things I've ever seen. Whenever he doesn't comprehend something, he scratches his head and when he suddenly does understand he nods as if he's agreeing with the context. I've seen him make these same faces and same gestures whenever we would study together while video chatting, but seeing it in person really brings it to life.

"I can feel you staring at me." He says without looking up from his large textbook, startling me out of my daydream.

"Sorry." I look down at my phone and continue scrolling through social media.

"I didn't say it was a problem." He says as he turns to face me, winking at me when I look up at him. "I like that you want to look at me."

"Yeah?" I smile over to him, setting my phone down and striding towards him.

"Mmmhmm." He hums as my hands graze over his shoulders and start to massage the tense muscles forming from him sitting for so long.

His head droops down as he relaxes under my touch. Small goosebumps form on the delicate skin on the back of his neck, barely visible under his wavy head of ebony colored hair. Small purr-like moans vibrate in his chest as my thumbs begin descending down his spine, kneading out the stress of learning all of this material.

Glancing over to the desk, I take a look at the textbook he's looking at and my eyes grow wide at all of the Hangul writing. I knew it would be in Korean because I mean, duh, but it also just seems like a lot of information in general.

"Thank you baby." He leans his head back with his eyes closed and lips puckered.

I lean down to kiss him, his hands reaching back to grip onto the backs of my legs to keep me from moving away. We both smile as we continue to peck each others lips over and over in a playful way until I eventually stop and squish his cheeks together and his eyes open up to look at me.

"Quit using me as a distraction and study." I scold him.

"Yes ma'am." He mumbles, smiling again once I let go of his cheeks. "That was kind of hot."

"Oh yeah? Do you want to be the sub next time?" I tease walking back over to the bed. "Should I use the whip and handcuffs on you?"

He laughs out and shakes his head furiously at me. "Don't you ever dare to try that on me. That's strictly for me to use on you."
