In these past few hours, Jungkook felt like his bond between Taehyung has strangely grown so fast. Suddenly, the two were comfortable with each other, sharing their own life stories, cheering each other up... and even to the point where they were able to lean on each other's shoulder.

The boys talked and talked until Jungkook had completely forgotten about the troubles they were in. At that moment, it almost felt like everything was okay. Just him and his friend Taehyung in a hotel. That's all.

Jungkook also noticed the ease in Taehyung eyes. How his brown eyes glowed when he talked and his boxy smile would spread as he spoke. It honestly relaxed the boy, encouraging him to open up to Taehyung.

Jungkook lost track of the time, realizing that it was already evening and his stomach was starting to feel hungry all over again. The boy's stomach grumbled.

Taehyung, who heard the boy's hunger, broke away from the conversation in realization. "You hungry, Jungkook?"

Jungkook nodded his head, revealing his bunny smile, "very."

And that's how the boys ordered spaghetti. Taehyung took the elevator down to pick it up.

Jungkook flopped on the bed, waiting for the boy. He breathed in a sigh of relief. Honestly, the boy has never had such a conversation like this with anyone. Not even his parents. Somehow, he felt safe, being in this boy's guidance.

Well... he thought too soon.

Taehyung came back with a bag on one hand, and... a wine bottle in the other.

"Don't even think about it kid. The red wine's for me. Sejin's gift to me."

The two sat down on the table and started to eat. Jungkook watched as Taehyung downed the wine like it was nothing.

"Bruh. Gimme some too." Jungkook eyed the glass of wine in his hand.

"Nah, I know you're not the type to handle this kinda stuff." Taehyung leaned his face on his hand, smiling smugly at Jungkook.

Jungkook narrowed his eyes, "I'm not a pussy. I can take that too okay."

Before Taehyung could say anything else, Jungkook took a sip of Taehyung's glass, wiping off Taehyung's smile.

"Shit. What the hell, do you even kno how much alcohol is in this?" Taehyung took the glass from Jungkook's hand. "And we have a mission tomorrow. Are you insane?"

Jungkook shrugged off cooly, "It's not that bad, Taehyung. See? I'm fine."

Taehyung scoffed in disbelief, "you don't even know." Though, part of Taehyung was a little surprised the boy didn't get drunk.

After dinner, Taehyung lied on the couch, facing the window with stars decorated in the sky.

Jungkook suspected that Taehyung must have gotten drunk and didn't want to show that side of him to Jungkook. So Jungkook followed him out just to check on him.

Taehyung's face glowed from the night sky. Jungkook could even see a tiny smile on his lips. The kind of smile Jungkook rarely saw. It was the smile of peace. Something Jungkook believed Taehyung had not felt in a long... long time. The emotion painted on the boy's face made him so pleasing to look at. Strangely, it gave Jungkook happiness.  A safe feeling.  

"Pretty, isn't it?" Taehyung started, breaking Jungkook's train of thought. Jungkook panicked, realizing that he must have been focused too much at Taehyung's visuals.

"UH. Y-yea."

The two boys awkwardly stared at each other until Taehyung realized the misunderstanding. Jungkook wasn't referring to the stars in the sky. He was referring to Taehyung. Taehyung laughed internally, letting it go.

"Something told me it was your idea," Jungkook spoke suddenly, breaking the silence once again.

Taehyung sat up from the sofa a little, glancing at the boy. "For what?"

"You know... ordering me to strip." Jungkook continued, shaking his head in disbelief, though laughing at the same time. It was a little silly, now that he thought about it.

Taehyung, who noted Jungkook's joking tone, laughed. "No... it wasn't my idea but..." His mouth twisted into a smirk, "that was kinda hot..."

Jungkook rolled his eyes, internally taking deep breaths to keep himself from blushing. "You fuckin' pervert."

"Oh you know, don't you?" Taehyung leaned in, licking his lips jokingly.  Jungkook felt his chest tingle, realizing the boy's attempts to making him blush. 

Of course, Jungkook isn't gonna let this guy win. So he followed along with his joke. "Mmm yeah, you are cheeky. But that's not the way to treat your hyung." he grinned, swinging an arm around Taehyung's shoulder.

Taehyung cocked his eyebrow, brushing off Jungkook's shoulder, "Uhmm... actually... I'm your hyung."

Jungkook was legit jungshook. "What? You're kidding."

"I'm serious, Jungkook! I'm a year older than you. I did my research ya know." Taehyung placed his hand on Jungkook's thigh. Jungkook swallowed.

"Maybe... a little too much research," Taehyung whispered, leaning into Jungkook's ear.

Jungkook felt the older's hand squeeze his thigh. He bit his lower lip.

"Now pay that respect to your hyung, pretty boy," he whispered. And Jungkook felt a weird feeling in his chest. His cheeks turn hot as the alcohol started to kick in a little.

But that's not gonna stop Jungkook. The boy then laughed hysterically, "So what, I can treat my hyung however I like." Jungkook tried again to snake his arm around Taehyung, but failed again as Taehyung tickled the sides of his waist.

"Hey! Stooop!" Jungkook burst into giggles.

"Bad boy. Time for hyung to show you your place." Taehyung smirked, tackling the younger to the sofa. Jungkook squirmed from the tickles, unable to breathe from all the laughter.

"Pleaseee, hyung -AH stoppp!" Jungkook pleaded, his eyes filled with tears of laughter. Then, he felt Taehyung's fingers slide under his shirt, lifting it a little.

Jungkook gasped, sitting up from the sofa, his hands stopping Taehyung. "What- did you just..."

"Sorry, I got carried away," Taehyung said, though his hands were still at the hem of his shirt. His eyes looked at Jungkook as if he was expecting acceptance from him. At that moment, Jungkook realized something... a little off with the relationship between them. No, they were not friends...

"Taehyung... what...do you want from me?" Jungkook asked, his doe eyes stared curiously into Taehyung's, still unsure with what the older felt.

Swiftly, Taehyung pulled in the younger close by the waist, which startled Jungkook. "Jungkook... I want you to trust me. I want you to be safe."

Taehyung then leaned in even closer to Jungkook, his lips hovering over the boy's. Though this time, Jungkook did not back away. He felt the older's nose brush against his. "But most of all, I want you to love me. Because I really really love you, Jungkook."

Jungkook felt the warmth burst in his chest, his eyes blurring out.  At the same time, he couldn't believe what he was hearing and he wanted to badly to...

The younger went in for the kiss, shocking Taehyung.   Taehyung kissed back, his strong arms embraced the younger's body. Jungkook closed his eyes, lightly placing his hands on the older's chest for support. He felt the older's soft lips against his as warmth grew in his chest. The feeling of safety, of eternal trust...

... and finally, love. So much love.

Jungkook pulled away from the kiss, gasping for air, dizzy from the kiss and the alcohol. Jungkook couldn't see straight, but he could see Taehyung's boxy smile spreading as the older brushed Jungkook's bangs aside. "My little Kookie..."

Jungkook giggled at his new nickname, leaning in for another kiss. This time, allowing Taehyung to enter as he opened his mouth slightly. The older slid his tongue, exploring the sweet taste of the younger. As their lips separated for a brief moment, Taehyung managed to place Jungkook on his lap as they continued making out.

The older's fingers slipped into Jungkook's shirt, caressing his waist. Then to his chest. It was all too much for Jungkook, the alcohol, the kisses and the touches giving him heaps of pleasure. It was a weird feeling, but Jungkook enjoyed every second of it.

"T-tae..." Jungkook managed to say between the kisses. Taehyung then leaned into Jungkook, letting him fall gently to the sofa as Taehyung pinned him down. Taehyung kissed the boy's neck, and then to his collarbone. Meanwhile, Jungkook was breathing ever so heavily, sweat trickling down his forehead. He felt Taehyung lifting Jungkook's shirt, kissing him on the chest as well. The younger blushed even harder, unable to cope with the mess he was in.

He felt his body gently lift from the sofa as the strong arms carried him bridal style to the bed.  Jungkook was so happy, so so happy.  He wanted to badly to tell Taehyung how much he loved him too.  How much he had wanted this to happen.  "Taeh..." Jungkook started but was hushed by Taehyung as the older's fingers brushed his bangs.  "My little Kookie's sleepy, isn't he?" The older's deep voice sounded as Jungkook's eyelids were closing.

And the last thing he saw was Taehyung's loving smile.
