A/N: Finally, the intro is done. Now, we're starting 😊 mild mention of smut with Jin as the bottom.

12. Morning came

Taehyung looked at Seokjin's smiling face. He is enjoying the games as he watched Taehyung's co-workers play like kids in the sand. Taehyung kept brushing his hair with his hand. He is feeling anxious, Seokjin never spoke a word about what happened last night. When he woke up the next day, Seokjin already cooked and told him about his co-workers knocking on their door looking for him.

He also took note of the room they were in. It was the same room that Seoyeon booked. He wanted to ask the older what happened and how did they get here, but he doesn't have the guts to ask. Aside from that, he is also contemplating whether to tell Seokjin that he remembers almost everything, but he figured that it will only reopen wounds from the past, so he is choosing not to do it.

His brain tells him to do it, to tell Jin what he knew, but his heart is saying otherwise. He is afraid because Jin said to him before that once he gets hurt, he will leave Taehyung be and for sure, with what information he holds now, Jin will finally walk away from his life, and he don't want that. Seokjin leaving him would be the last thing he wants.

Maybe feigning innocence and acting like he can't remember anything would be the best for them. his head is hurting just by thinking of it. He hates the heavy feeling in his chest, but his cowardice is getting the best of him. It's like the devil's whisper, the minute he thinks of telling Jin everything, he backs out. Taehyung can't even reassure himself that it's okay because it's not.

Besides, he also knows that he is just using the "Jin might get hurt" agenda to keep himself from being the one in pain instead. He knows that there is a high possibility that the worst will come, but what can he do? He just wants to protect himself and somehow protect Jin by letting him stay innocent of what he really feels right from the start. It's better to let hm think he was unloved, than knowing he is indeed treasured, but like a jerk that Taehyung is, he took no care of his precious gem and let it get bruised and shed tears.

Seo Joon is right when he said that loving him – Kim Taehyung – is dangerous. Chaos. Disastrous.

But little did they know, loving Seokjin is like falling in an endless pit. You never know if you will end up breaking into pieces or be greeted by a soft pillowy hug.

Jimin and him is great example, but unlike him, Jimin is no coward. He boldly pursues Seokjin. he saw that, he is the main witness because even Jimin comes to him for advice before. Jimin loved Jin too much that Jimin easily chose Seokjin over him without a second thought. Jimin is like Seokjin's knight in shining armor, but just like Taehyung, fear engulfs him too. For Jimin, Seokjin is too good to be true, that being able to hold his hand is a great blessing for him.

Taehyung envied Jimin for that.

Growing up, Taehyung never learned the art of being thankful. He is always ready to take, but always not prepared to gift gratitude. Same goes to Seokjin. Taehyung knows he wants Jin, but when he got the older, he took it for granted. He is just so lucky that Jin loved him and stayed.

And that's another fear of Taehyung.

Seokjin stayed for too long, he fears that one wrong move, he will slip away. And that one wrong move is at the tip of Taehyung's fingers.

"Fuck," he unconsciously voiced out.

Jin, alarmed, looked at him and took his hand, "What? Are you okay?"

"I'm okay hyung." He smiled.

Another thing that bothers him is this. Seokjin is not speaking about his almost kiss with Seoyeon. Other boyfriends would be frantic and ask fuck loads of questions, but Seokjin has none. Taehyung is waiting, but Jin never did open that topic.

"Taehyung-ssi, we are partners for the game." Seoyeon spoke to him and grabbed his hand away that is on top of Seokjin's. "Stand up. You need to cooperate and not just sit here with your boyfriend."

He looked at everyone and their eyes are already at them. Taehyung sighed, removed his hand away from Seoyeon and looked at Jin, "Is it okay if I join?"

"It's up to you." Jin spoke briefly. His mood changing in 180 degrees. The smile faded and expression turned icy cold. Taehyung knows best than to join, he looked and saw that the game was the apple game where partners needs to eat an apple hanging by a thin thread. No way he'll do that.

Taehyung nodded at Jin knowing what he needs to do, he looked at everyone and he spoke, "Don't wanna. Kinda hangover." He faked a smile. "In fact, I want to rest for a while. I feel like vomiting. Can I pass for today's game?"

Everyone muttered yeses and he thanked the crowd. Taehyung pulled Seokjin up, but before they can leave, Seoyeon stopped them. Taehyung looked around only to see his co-workers avoiding to look at the scene. He felt nervous. Everyone there knows what his relationship with Seoyeon was before. He then looked at Jin again who is now looking at Seoyeon's hand on Taehyung's arm. Taehyung shrugged them away and grabbed Seokjin by the waist.

He grew more anxious than he already is when Jin moved away from him slightly.

"Taehyung-ssi, let me take care of you." Seoyeon suggested.

Taehyung thought that Seoyeon is going crazy. He sees Jin beside him, Tall and broad, yet Seoyeon is acting like Jin doesn't exist.

"Like how I used to, Sir." Seoyeon added. Taehyung noticed that everyone peacefully exited to give them some privacy, "Let's go to your room, and I will cook for you. You love my congee, right?"

Seokjin just stood there with a straight face. Taehyung's heart thundered more. Jin is dangerous when he speaks, but fucking intimidating when he looks like this – all cold and stoic.

"What are you saying, Seoyeon-ssi?" he asked and laughed. He held Seokjin close, not allowing him to escape even though he did try to. "You must be drunk still. Go to your room and sleep."

Seoyeon just made an innocent look, "But we have the same room. You wanted me to book us that suite, right? I am even surprised that Seokjin-ssi came and you haven't told me. Does he know?"

"The fuck!? You are lying!" he looked at Jin, "Hyung, that's not true!"

Seokjin doesn't look at him at all.

"What is not true, Sir Taehyung?"

Taehyung didn't paid attention to him, but kept his focus on Seokjin.

"Hyung! Please say something."

Again, nothing came out of those lips.

"Sir, please, stop pretending like you don't now who I am to you! I am the one you fucking love! Not that –"

But before Seoyeon even finished, Seokjin already landed a fist on him.

"I hate both of you." He muttered and was ready to leave.

Just before Jin can turned his back, then Seoyeon spoke, "Sucks to always be the second option huh?" Seoyeon stoop up and spat the blood in his mouth. He took out his ring with small diamonds that came together to form a moon and his moon necklace. "Look, your fiancé gave me this. What does he got you? You don't even have a ring for the engagement!"

Seoyeon mockingly laughed at Seokjin.

"Stop!" Taehyung pushed Seoyeon.

"Why would I? he needs to walk out of your life. You don't need him! that's why you left him that night of your accident, right? You had enough, Sir. You can't stand him. he disgusts you!"

"He doesn't! I love him!"

Seoyeon chuckled. Seokjin just stayed emotionless, but his fists are clenched.

"You heard me, Seokjin? HE. IS. DISGUSTED. AT YOU! You are obsessed with him even begged your best friend to enter I a relationship with him. Taehyung just became your boyfriend to feed your fantasies, bitch! You creep him out. you will never be enough! You stayed for years, yet he didn't love you! You only get these affections from him because of that damn amnesia! You mean nothing! I –"

Taehyung tried stopping him, but Seoyeon kept speaking. The moment he got fed up, he gave a punch to Seoyeon and ran to Seokjin's side to take his hand and they ran away from them. they reached their room and he cupped Seokjin's face.

"Hyung, please speak to me." He said, his voice trembling.

"I hate you."

Shocked, he held Jin tighter, "No, hyung, please no! I do love you! Not just because of this amnesia. I loved you even from before! Since high school! Hyung, please believe me."

All his strength left his body when Jin kept his eyes trained on Taehyung but no emotions can be read from them.

Then Seokjin spoke, "Then kiss me. Kiss me like you love me."

And Taehyung did. He made their lips meet and he devoured Jin in a way that he knows Jin will feel his love. The kiss is not rushed, not lustful, but still has the passion in them poured at every stroke of their lips. He can feel tears coming from Seokjin's eyes. He wiped them using his thumb without parting their mouths.

"Don't cry." He shushed him with a gentle voice. "I hate making you cry, I am sorry."

"I— Tae, make love to me, please. I am begging you. Please fuck me like you love me." Seokjin didn't gave Taehyung a chance to protest because he crashed their lips together and discarded Taehyung's clothes. Taehyung let him take the lead. He let Seokjin suck him and push him to the bed. He was fully naked, but Seokjin won't even let him undress him.

"Take it off, hyung." He whispered.

"Don't wanna." Seokjin said and pulled his short down just enough to show his ass and shoved Taehyung's cock in him.

Taehyung's eyes opened wide. Seokjin took him raw and it must've hurt so much. Taehyung sat up and hugged Seokjin.

"Shit hyung, you should've let me prepare you first!"

Seokjin pant and hid his face on Taehyung's chest. "I'm fine. I'm fine."

Seokjin started moving. Taehyung found Seokjin's clothes a hindrance, so he tore Jin's shirt apart and kissed his chest up to his jaw, "I love you, hyung!" Seokjin just groaned and moved faster above Taehyung.

They made love. Taehyung tried his best for it to not just be sex. He see to it, that Seokjin will feel it in his thrusts, in his whispers, hugs and kisses.

"I love you so much, hyung. I love you." He said when he came.

Seokjin closed his eyes shut and sighed. They fell asleep after that. He hugged Seokjin tightly under the covers professing his love even in his sleep.

But when he woke up, Seokjin is not there beside him. and he didn't showed the next morning.

Then days turned weeks, weeks turned to months, and months turned to a year, then another year, and another.

Note: I lowkey did thought of ending this with JinMin bcuz of the last chapter. But we never know, I might change my mind as the chapters progresses.

Thoughts?
