Through Games & Sorrow

㉞I Will Never Do That Again

 
The next few days passed by in a flash. True to his word, Jeongguk met with Taehyung every day after his work, making it up to him for the days he didn't call him. That was the reason they met daily — or more accurately — their excuse.

It was a pleasant routine for both of them. Jeongguk would go to his house around nine, they would drink a beer and chat for some time before ending up in Taehyung's bedroom. Even if they had sex every day, they were always eager, exhilarated, and horny as if they hadn't met for weeks.

Then, they would take a bath together, mostly cuddling the whole time as they chatted some more or just enjoyed the comfortable silence. They would shower, then order something to eat, and sit in the living while waiting for the food.

Taehyung nagged him to let him pay every time, but the younger wasn't having it. They settled on taking turns in paying for the food by Jeongguk's persistent requests, even though Taehyung repeatedly said that he didn't mind paying every time.

And at last, they would lie in the bed together, holding each other, and drift off to sleep with imperceptible smiles on their faces.

They didn't talk about them at all; Taehyung ignored the constant butterflies in his stomach, and Jeongguk ignored his constant need to kiss and cuddle him. They simply enjoyed their happy place and both wished not to end quickly, but it was already their last day.

And they didn't know what would happen from here.

Jeongguk also hung out with his friends after their classes often, but no matter how many times they asked him about Taehyung, he didn't say anything.

Yuju tried to talk to him at the uni multiple times, but he brushed her off and said that he was busy these days. He didn't feel the need to have sex with her and that puzzled him a tad, but he ended up thinking that it was because he was meeting with Taehyung every day.

Taehyung, of course, didn't have time to meet his friends because of his busy schedule and because he spent his free time with the younger. They talked on the phone during his lunch breaks, but he didn't say anything to them about Jeongguk. He didn't really know what to say, and talking about whatever was happening with him over the phone didn't seem right.

It was officially Friday, the last day they could spend together with the excuse of making it up to Taehyung for the six days Jeongguk didn't call. What made that day even worse was that Taehyung's mother practically ordered him to go to their house and have dinner with them since he had been avoiding them for a while now.

With a heavyhearted 'okay', he hung up the phone and texted Jeongguk.

Taehyung: Hey, we need to change the time tonight, my mother basically commanded me to have dinner with them *sigh*. I'll leave an hour earlier from work, go home, take a quick shower and go to the devil's house. I don't know why I just wrote that, you probably don't care, haha. Anyway, is ten okay?

That's a really awkward text, Taehyung thought as he reread it. What surprised him was that he got a reply not even a minute later.

Jeongguk: You're cute even through texts. Why are you going if you don't want to? You don't have to listen to her.

A smile crept across his lips the moment he read the first sentence.

Taehyung: I've been avoiding them and they won't leave me alone if I don't go. And aren't you supposed to be at uni right now? Why did you answer so fast?

Jeongguk: But we have to sleep early and we won't have that much time... And yes, I'm in class and it's really boring so I was playing games.

Taehyung: I know, I'm sorry. But I really have to go or else they'll keep nagging me. Pay attention to your class!!!!
