40 | Chapter 38

POV AMERICA

The hotel door opened.

"Taehyung?", Jungkook called without looking up from his book.

He was sitting on the double sized bed, blanket over his knees, back leaning against the wall.

A few minutes after Taehyung had put his shoes next to Jungkook's and threw his jacket on the floor, he climbed onto the mattress and sat on Jungkook's lap without hesitation.

He let his head fall on his shoulder.

"Um, Tae? You okay?"

"Mhm."

It was already the second day of shooting photos and modeling for the fashion companies.

Taehyung came home very late, every night because they just couldn't get enough of him, JK assumed and of course Taehyung was too kind to say anything against it.

Every morning, he woke up, still tired from the day before and every night he came back home even more exhausted.

He hid his face in Jungkook's chest and felt the warmth coming from him.

Jungkook just calmly stroked through Tae's hair and went back to the book he was reading.

After a good few minutes, Tae slowly began kissing Jungkook's neck a little and received a quiet humming as response.

The older went upwards his neck and marked his jawline with kisses.

Willingly, Jungkook tilted his head a little, still trying to concentrate on the words in his book.

Taehyung placed kisses under his chin and let his fingers search for the book in Jungkook's hands, before he grabbed it and laid it beside them on the nightstand.

He cupped the younger's face and starting kissing him. His tongue made its way to Jungkook's, before it started swirling around it.

Jungkook quietly smiled into their kiss and let his hands snake around Taehyung's waist, pulling him closer, grabbing a piece of his shirt here and there.

Taehyung tasted quite nice. He didn't know what it was, but it tasted really good. It had this unique Taehyung flavor, kind of the same as his unique scent. Everything about Taehyung made Jungkook want more.

And as he even traveled with his hand underneath Jungkook's shirt, his heart started beating irregularly.

How his hands were so soft and careful, yet so longing for touch, drove him crazy.

These sparkles whenever Taehyung touched him caused an amazing feeling in his stomach.

If there was any way, intimacy was supposed to feel, it was this.

Tae's lips wandered down and without further ado he stuck his head underneath Jungkook's shirt, leaving kisses behind.

Jungkook started stroking Tae's back and closed his eyes.

Just as their lips connected again, their manager Hitman bang knocked on the door, not waiting long enough before he walked in.

Jungkook and Taehyung jerked away from each other but not fast enough.

Hitman Bang saw them.

"Taehyung, we need to talk", he said.

Without objection or looking at Jungkook, Taehyung got up, walked past their manager and out of the hotel room.

"Taehyung, Jungkook is the youngest in the group", Hitman bang started, "so of course I understand that you, as closest of age, feel rather responsible to guide him in some ways. But you are going too far."

Should Taehyung tell him? That Jungkook and he were actually dating?

"Hyung we... we're good friends."

"Yes of course, now I understand that. But you have to grow up. Both of you. Stop playing around."

"We- well, Jungkook and I, well we get each other like no one else does."

"I'm glad you two met each other, you provide really good fan-service as well, which is good for the company and the group. You start getting more and more attention. But you should not continue that aside from public or cameras. Friends don't do that, Taehyung, do you understand?"

Even though Hitman Bang was smaller than Taehyung, it felt, as if Tae was looking up to him.

"Yes, I understand."

"Good. Now you and Jungkook should break up. I think your relationship could get in between the group and we don't want BTS to split up because of some messing around, do we?"

It was not just messing around.

"No, of course not."

"Very good, I see we hear each other. Now end your little games and start focusing on the important stuff, for example your careers. Maybe you should pick up another photoshoot tomorrow to get it going."

With that he left Tae alone, standing in the hallway of the hotel.

He was supposed to break up with Jungkook.

How would he even do that? He didn't want to do that either.

Obviously.

What was be supposed to do?

After a couple of minutes he decided to get back inside.

"Taehyung! Are you okay?! What did he say? Was he... very mad?"

Taehyung just walked over to him and leaned his head on Jungkook's chest.

Eyes closed, he sighed.

"Tae?"

Taehyung didn't answer.

"Oh baby", Jungkook said and caressed him.

Stroking his shoulders up and down slowly, he wrapped his arms around him.

For a second, Taehyung melted into the touch and tried forgetting the conversation from before.

"Let's just sleep", Taehyung then mumbled and slurped past him into bed, not losing another word.
