"I'm so scared of loving you. That even my touch would send you to crumbles."

In Heaven || Nine

-

Jeongguk sat in between Taehyung's legs with his back to his chest. Taehyung's arms were wrapped around him, holding him in his grasp. Jeongguk took a deep breath, the auroma of Taehyung and flowers making him feel at peace.

They sat proped up on a tree that was in the middle of the garden, all the strong and wilted flowers around them as they sat in the warmth of each others hold.

Taehyung kissed Jeongguk's cheek, nuzzling his nose into the crevice of his neck and shoulder inhaling the sweet smell of his perfume,
"You're so quiet today sweetheart, something bothering you?" He asked sweetly kissing his neck.

Jeongguk giggled at the feeling of Taehyung kissing his neck,
"I just- something happened yesterday is all." He replied fiddling with his fingers not knowing if he should tell Taehyung or not.

He felt the other turn him around so he was facing him, "Was it something bad? Your cheek is kind of red and you weren't wearing a band-aid when I last saw you." Taehyung said as he gently traced the band-aid, his fingers going down to Jeongguk's pink cheek.

Jeongguk didn't have enough strength in him to look up at Taehyung, instead keeping his eyes on his chest as his fingers played with the buttons on his shirt, "It was nothing." He whispered back, keeping his voice low and frail.

Taehyung gave a sad frown, slipping his fingers under Jeongguk's chin,
"Jeongguk, are you telling me the truth?" He asked looking into his soft brown eyes that stared back at him.

Jeongguk felt his heart pang when Taehyung said his name instead of the usual 'star' or 'sweetheart'. He took in a deep breath, adverting his eyes away from Taehyung, "I'm not telling you the truth. I'm sorry." He said dryly, feeling the lump beginning to form in his throat.

"Then what's the truth, Jeongguk?" Taehyung asked cupping his face softly, his thumb moving back forth as he looked into his star cluster eyes,
"What's hurting you so bad that you don't want to say it out loud?"

Jeongguk moved his face, placing his head onto Taehyung's chest. He smiled gently when he heard the others heart beating, it was beating fast like a drum. He placed his own hand onto his chest, feeling his heartbeat. He felt his heart pounding in his chest, the sound of Taehyung's heartbeat filling his ears as his hand clenched onto his shirt feeling his heartbeat fall into the same rhythm as Taehyung's. He broke out into a small smile as tears dripped down onto the window of his face, feeling the hot tears work their way down his face and onto Taehyung's shirt.

He began crying harder when he felt Taehyung's arms wrap around him, holding him firmly but ever so softly.

He clenched onto Taehyung's shirt, gripping onto it with all his might.
"I'm s-sorry, I can't t-talk when I c-cry." Jeongguk stuttered out as his chest heaved.

Taehyung held him close, his hand going up and down his small back,
"It's alright, sweetness. Just cry now and talk later, ok?" He whispered softly into the crying boys ear, kissing the spot behind his earlobe. He kissed his cheek softly, letting his lips linger on the soft sweet delicate skin.

Jeongguk hiccuped, his head starting to hurt from crying so hard. He sniffled softly, his weeping coming to a slow, "It hurts." He mumbled into Taehyung's neck.

Taehyung brought Jeongguk's face out from his neck, his hands caressing his puffy cheeks, "Tell me what hurts so I can kiss it better, star." He said with a little smile. Jeongguk blushed a little, sniffling, "My head hurts." He said.

Taehyung placed a small chaste kiss onto his forehead, "What else hurts, dear?" He asked pulling away from him, "My eyes are puffy from crying." Jeongguk said, bringing his hand up to his eyes feeling the puffy-ness of them.

Taehyung leaned down and gently placed a kiss onto his right eye, moving to his left and kissing it softly too. Jeongguk giggled softly with each heartfelt kiss that was placed onto his smooth silky skin. He smiled softly as Taehyung pulled away from him.

"Anything else that I can kiss better?"

Jeongguk looked down at his lap,
"My heart hurts." He voice above a whisper as he held his hands over his chest. That heavy and guilty feeling making his chest sore with bruises. He felt as if something was weighing him down from getting to surface of the ocean.

He could feel his heart beating against his chest, the sound was deafining as it swallowed him up. Sometimes he questioned why he felt like he was dead even though his heart was beating. Or why his heart always seemed to beat faster whenever Taehyung was near.

He felt Taehyung gently take his hands away from his heart, kissing them gently before placing them onto his lap. Jeongguk blushed as Taehyung leaned down and placed a kiss onto his chest right over his heart.

Taehyung could feel Jeongguk's heartbeat quicken beneath his lips, the sound of his heartbeat filling up his ears. He smiled and kissed his way up to his jawline. He moved his lips up to his cheek, planting a chaste kiss there.

Jeongguk felt all the blood in his body rushing up to his face as Taehyung kissed his way up to his cheek. Feeling even more shy because they were right in the open, with the thought that anyone could see them.

Taehyung took his lips away from Jeongguk, "Is there anything else I can kiss better, doll?" He asked Jeongguk who looked back at him with his cherry red face. Taehyung chuckled at the sight of his red flustered face.

Jeongguk smiled a little as he grabbed the collar of Taehyung's shirt the older giving him a skeptical look.
He carefully leaned in and pressed his soft lips onto Taehyung's. Smiling when he felt Taehyung kiss back, wrapping his arms around his waist.

The second their lips touched Jeongguk felt all his worries leave him as the warm feeling and colors bled in, feeling the smooth caramel like lips that belonged to Taehyung on his own. He threaded his fingers through Taehyung's sandy brown hair, tugging at it lightly. All he could smell was the flowers and Taehyung's cologne.

Their lips moved against each other slowly and lovingly. Jeongguk pulled away for air, a light blush on his face as he put his hands on Taehyung's chest. He could feel his heartbeat beneath his hand, his heart was going a thousand miles an hour. Jeongguk could hear his own heartbeat in his ears, he could feel how hard and fast his heart was pounding in his chest.

"Well, I wasn't expecting that." Taehyung let out with a breath making Jeongguk blush even more.
"I told you yesterday that I would give you the rest of your kisses today." Jeongguk mumbled out as his fingers played with the buttons on Taehyung's shirt again.

Taehyung chuckled as his hand went up to tuck a piece of Jeongguk's hair behind his ear, "You did say that didn't you." He replied leaning in and kissing the tip of his button nose.

Jeongguk giggled and scrunched his nose as Taehyung kissed his nose. He leaned in and kissed Taehyung's cheek in return moving his lips to kiss his lips again. He pulled away his face feeling flushed and hot as his fingers played with the grass.

He giggled lightly when Taehyung started kissing his neck, leaving butterfly kisses all across his silk like skin. "When I was looking at the flowers earlier, they reminded me of you." Jeongguk said turning to face Taehyung, his hands going play with his sandy brown hair.

Taehyung laughed, "Why may that be?" He asked softly, his hands tracing circles into Jeongguk's waist. The boy giggled, "Jin once told me that a rose looks so pretty you're blinded by it's beauty that when you reach out to grab it you get pricked on it's thorns. But the flowers here, their stems are soft and green. And it reminded me of you." He replied smiling sweetly up at Taehyung, his nose scrunching up.

Taehyung stayed silent letting Jeongguk finish talking as he listened to his sweet voice with a lovesick smile on his face, "Some of the flowers are wilting, they're not as strong as they used to be. They reminded me of myself, but I started to question if I was ever really strong in the first place." Jeongguk finished off as his smile slightly turned into a frown, his hands dropped down from Taehyung's hair into his lap.

Taehyung leaned over to the flower bush, picking out a wilted flower and a strong one, twisting the stems together. Jeongguk watched him in confusion, not saying anything. Taehyung placed the flowers behind Jeongguk's ear, tucking them in nicely with a smile.

"Sweetness, it doesn't matter if you were strong in the first place or even now. What matters is that this teaches you to become stronger." Taehyung said looking into Jeongguk's eyes,
"If a flower is wilted to become stronger it needs sunlight and water. You need sunlight and water, Jeongguk. If a flower is torn and wilted that doesn't make it any less beautiful, right?"

Taehyung took Jeongguk's hands into his, gently squeezing them,
"Star, a strong flower can become wilted. A wilted flower can become strong. Each flower grows another one within itself, and you, sweetheart, is starting to grow another flower." He smiled sweetly at Jeongguk who looked back into his chocolate golden brown eyes. He leaned in and kissed Jeongguk, pulling away, "We'll become strong again."

Jeongguk was astonished by Taehyung's words. He sat there letting his words soak into him. He felt tears well up in his eyes as he looked back up at Taehyung, "Let's become strong together, Taehyung." He said with a smile. Taehyung chuckled and nodded.

"Taehyung, which flower are you?" Jeongguk asked playing with his hands. Taehyung smiled weakly at him, "I'm wilted." He responded squeezing his hand. Jeongguk reached over to the flower bush, picking a wilted flower and a strong one. He twisted the stems together, placing it behind Taehyung's ear, tucking it in nicely just like Taehyung had done to him.

He leaned in and pecked Taehyung's lips, pulling away and cupping his face gently, "You can be the sunlight and I can be the water." He said softly making Taehyung laugh. The older nodded his head as he felt his chest flutter, "Ok. We'll be just that then."

-

Jeongguk giggled as Taehyung carried him bridal style into his apartment, laughing as his tightened his hold onto Taehyung not wanting to fall onto the ground. "Don't drop me! I'm very tiny!" He smiled as Taehyung shut the door with his foot taking his hand away and locking the door.

Taehyung rolled his eyes as his set Jeongguk down on the kitchen counter and slid between his legs,
"I would never drop you, star." He said sweetly as he pecked Jeongguk's pouty pink lips.

The tiny boy chuckled, "We should have stayed at school." He said as his fingers grazed the flowers tucked behind Taehyung's ear. The bell had rung signaling that lunch was over but Taehyung had other ideas. Convincing Jeongguk that they should skip and go home instead of going back to class.

The boy protested at first but Taehyung had won him over with the promises of kisses and cuddles. And he really did love kisses and cuddles, so he gave in and said yes.

Taehyung laughed, "But then I wouldn't get to kiss you." He replied leaning in and kissing those pink pouty lips he loved, "And I don't really see you complaining either." He shrugged his shoulders earning a smack on the chest from Jeongguk.

Jeongguk pouted, "You said you were going to take me on a date." He whined as Taehyung placed his head onto his shoulder, inhaling his sweet perfume. "This can be our date." Taehyung moved his face away from his shoulder and smiled sweetly at him.

Jeongguk turned red and looked away, he could never say no when Taehyung looked at him like that. "Well it better be a good date then." He whined and pouted his lips, crossing his arms. Taehyung rolled his eyes at his braty-ness, "I'll make it good doll, don't you worry." He whispered into his ear and gently kissed his neck.

Jeongguk felt his cheeks turn red in embarrassment and pushed Taehyung away a little, looking at him with a glare, "Don't be such a flirt! You always make my face red." He said patting his face, feeling the hot skin underneath his fingertips.

Taehyung laughed placed his hands on his waist, "That's how I know I'm doing good." He chuckled and kissed up and down Jeongguk's neck leaving his skin tingling. It was then he noticed something missing, he gently grazed Jeongguk's neck with his fingers.

The younger looking back at him in confusion, "Is something wrong?" He asked Taehyung who looked back at him with confusion. "Didn't I give you hickies?" He asked making Jeongguk blush.

Jeongguk covered his neck with his hand, "Y-You did, but I covered them up with makeup." He told the older. Taehyung pouted, "Aw, why? I thought they looked quite nice on you." He said making Jeongguk laugh.

"I can't be walking around school with hickies all over my neck, Tae. It's not appropriate." He replied with a little laugh, running his hands through Taehyung's thick locks.

Taehyung sighed and nodded his head, "Alright, whatever makes you most comfortable dear. Also call me Tae or Taehyungie more often, it sounds cute coming from you." Jeongguk nodded his head, "Ok then, Taehyungie." He replied his cheeks having a pink tint to them.

The elder chuckled sweetly before pecking Jeongguk's soft lips making him giggle. Jeongguk slid off the counter walking over to the cupboard and getting a cup, filling it up with water. He took the flowers that Taehyung had tucked into his hair and placed it into the cup, walking over and putting the cup in front of Taehyung.

"We should let them grow huh?" Taehyung said taking the flowers from behind his ear and putting them into the cup. Jeongguk nodded,
"I'm gonna put them on the balcony, I think they'll grow strong out there. They have each other to grow strong with so they won't get lonely."

Taehyung smiled at his words nodding in agreement, "I like the sound of that." He replied following Jeongguk out to the balcony, the stale cold air hitting his face. He took notice of the small table and two chairs. "Do you sit out here a lot?" He asked sitting down on one of the chairs as Jeongguk placed the cup onto the table.

Jeongguk sat down smiling softly over at Taehyung who grinned back at him,
"Sometimes. It's been a little too cold to sit out here, but with you it's warmer." He said growing a little shy.

Taehyung chuckled in delight,
"My, you're starting to get confindent in your words. I like it." He smiled largely as he pinched Jeongguk's cheek making him giggle and swatted his hand away.

Jeongguk brought his knees up to his chest, looking over at Taehyung,
"Tae?" He called out making the boy look over at him. Taehyung hummed prompting the boy to go on, Jeongguk swallowed thickly, "I w-want to tell you what h-happened yesterday." He said mumbling a bit.

Taehyung widened his eyes and sat up more straight, "Oh- okay then. Should we go inside?" He asked pushing his hair out of his face. Jeongguk nodded standing up and holding his hand out for the older to take it. Taehyung smiled gently at him making his heart race as he took his hand and intertwined their fingers together.

Jeongguk led them inside but walked past the couch making Taehyung tilt his head in confusion, "We're not sitting on the couch?" Jeongguk looked back at him and shook his head, "I wanna lay in bed." He replied as they walked into his bedroom.

Taehyung nodded slowly feeling his face grow warm. Taehyung sat down on Jeongguk's bed while Jeongguk closed the door behind them. "Your room is always so clean." Taehyung said looking around, "There's not even a single crease in the bedsheets." He added on as his fingers traced over the thread on the blanket.

Jeongguk walked over to his closet and took off his blazer, "I g-guess so. My Dad always yelled at me if my room was messy, so it just stuck with me to have a clean room." He replied hanging his blazer on a hanger, his hands went down to untuck his button up shirt from his pants.

Taehyung looked back over at him, growing flustered, "Oh- Are you
c-changing?" He asked standing up as his face went red. Jeongguk nodded tucking his hair behind his ear, feeling his face grow hot.

Taehyung adverted his eyes, awkwardly scratching his neck,
"S-Should I leave?" He asked but groaned, "What kind of- of course I should leave." He said scolding himself, he looked over at Jeongguk "I'm gonna leave so you can change."

"No!" He replied abruptly growing shy, "No, you don't h-have to. I'm just taking off my p-pants that's it." He said looking down shyly his fingers fumbling with the button and zipper of his pants.

Taehyung felt his eyes move down to the tiny boys butt but shook his head and looked away, "I'll turn around t-then." He managed to stutter out and turned around. Growing red when he heard the sound of a zipper and clothing being placed on the ground.

He heard Jeongguk get into bed and mumbling the words 'You can turn around now', Taehyung turned around trying to calm his hormones down. He took off his blazer, placing it on the chair to Jeongguk's desk and crawled into bed with him.

Taehyung looked over at him, grinning a little once Jeongguk's doe eyes hit his, "You can tell me now. I'm listening." He said softly and wrapped his arms around Jeongguk. The boy felt his heart skip and nodded his head.

Jeongguk inhaled, "It happened after you dropped me off yesterday." He started off, his finger making little shapes onto Taehyung's broad chest,
"Someone knocked on the door and when I opened it, it was my Dad." He let out a shaky breath, he wasn't going to cry this time.

Feeling better when he felt Taehyung begin to stroke his back, "I let him in, I w-was scared because I didn't know what was g-going to happen." He snuggled closer to Taehyung, breathing in his cologne, "At first he was just talking but then he noticed the hickies on my neck."

Taehyung felt his stomach drop, suddenly feeling at fault for this.
Jeongguk looked up at him noticing his sunken eyes, "It's not your fault! Don't worry, ok? It's not like we knew what was going to happen, so d-don't blame yourself, Tae." He exclaimed caressing his face gently.

Taehyung sighed, "I just can't help but feel like it is my fault though." He replied to the boy with a tired look. Jeongguk moved up and pecked his lips, "It's no ones fault but my Dad's. I'm sure he would have hit me either way." He mumbled into Taehyung's chest.

The older only sighed in response and kissed the top of his head prompting him to continue, "He started yelling all sorts of things at me. Saying things like how I should stay away from you or if I stayed gay I would-" Jeongguk felt his voice crack and tears well up in his eyes, "I would end up d-dead like Jeonghyuk."

He shook his head, sniffling,
"But I told him no, that I didn't want to leave you. Because I can't leave you. I can't." Jeongguk whispered out with that shaky broken voice of his. The thought of leaving Taehyung made him sick to his stomach.

The thought of Jeonghyuk made his heart crack at the edges. The thought of dying didn't scare him. The thought of him dying and leaving Taehyung scared him more.

Taehyung moved away from Jeongguk, placing his big hands on Jeongguk's small fragile face,
"I'm sorry I wasn't there to protect you, Jeongguk. I'm sorry that happened to you, you didn't deserve that." Taehyung whispered gently.

Jeongguk smiled a little at him,
"It's ok. I got to see you today so I feel a lot better already." He giggled lightly as his hand went up and covered Taehyung's. "At first I wasn't sure what to say to you. I thought that if I just left you things would be better for the both of us. But the second you hugged me- I don't know- I guess I just realized that I could never leave you." He said making Taehyung smile.

"You're too precious, I can't leave home. I don't have any other home to run to." Jeongguk said softly, sliding their hands off his face and intertwined their fingers. Taehyung leaned forward and kissed his forehead, his lips touching the band-aid that covered his wound.

"I would have been heartbroken if you left me." Taehyung admitted,
"I'm glad you didn't. I know we just started talking recently but you mean too much to me to lose so quickly." He said as his thumb stroked the back of Jeongguk's hand.

Jeongguk squeezed his hand,
"I'm sorry, Taehyung." He said sadly as his voice cracked. He felt Taehyung scoot closer to him, "Why are you sorry?"

He turned on his back and looked up at the ceiling, "Because I'm scared." He replied as Taehyung let go of his hand and wrapped his arms around him instead. "What are you scared of?"

"Myself."

"Why are you scared of yourself?"

"I want to love you but I'm scared that I'll mess it up and I don't want to lose you because of my actions or past."

"You know, I'm scared too. I'm scared that I won't be strong enough for you. That my past will come and mess things up for us. I try my best to be strong for you but sometimes I just want to cry because I'm so scared, Jeongguk." Taehyung sighed as his chest felt heavy. Turning on his back and looking up at the ceiling too.

Jeongguk turned to him, grabbing his hand and squeezing it gently,
"We can be like the flowers." He spoke catching Taehyung's attention,
"They're together for a reason so they can grow strong together even though they're scared they each other." Jeongguk said stroking the back of Taehyung's hand with his thumb.

Taehyung looked into his sparkly yet dimly lit eyes, with a small smile he replied, "Would you like to be scared with me and grow strong with me, Jeongguk?"

Jeongguk smiled back at him,
"I wouldn't want it anyother way."

So they layed there with each other not saying anything more than the words that were on their mind. In silence they heard one another through their singular and erratic heartbeats.

Like the flowers they had picked earlier that day, they were broken yet strong. Their fate and destiny now intertwined with one another just like the two different yet similar flower stems.

No matter how cold it got, even if the rich yellow golden sun rays didn't hit them, and the lighthouse stayed unlit, it didn't matter. They had one another to find their own light.

So they fell asleep in the grasp and hold of each other.

Just like the flowers that were perched on the balcony outside.

The wet and torn edges of the paper had began to dry from the tear drops of the thick and dry air.

-

Jimin knocked on Jeongguk's front door with Yoongi by his side,
"Maybe he's not home?" He said turning to Yoongi with a confused look. Yoongi shrugged, "Well where else would Jeongguk go? I bet he's just asleep."

Jimin nodded his head, taking his spare key out and unlocking the door,
"I can't believe he just ditched school during lunch. Do you think he was feeling sad?" He asked as they walked inside. Yoongi shut the door and locked it, placing his bag on the floor next to Jimin's.

"Maybe? He didn't answer our calls or texts." Yoongi replied looking around the apartment, "Still clean as ever." He said inspecting the neat and organized interior of the small apartment.

"Gguk? You here?" Jimin said out loud walking into the hallway with Yoongi following him. He opened the door and saw the pants to their school uniform on the ground. Squinting his eyes in confusion, looking over to the blazer that hung on the chair beside the desk. He knew it wasn't Jeongguk's blazer.

"Um, Jimin." Yoongi whispered making the smaller one look up at him, "What?" He replied. The older only pointed to the bed. Jimin walked up to bed letting out a small audible gasp, covering his mouth.

In the bed lied a very tired and still sleeping Jeongguk and Taehyung wrapped in each others arms. Jimin awed and took out his phone. Yoongi rolled his eyes, "What're you doing?" He whispered.

Jimin snapped a picture and smiled,
"Taking a picture for memories!" He whisper-shouted back at the boy who only crossed his arms, "They're so cute!" Yoongi nodded his head in agreement, "We should go Min, I don't want to wake them up."

Jimin nodded his head, walking over to Jeongguk's desk getting a sticky note out and writing something down. Sticking it on Jeongguk's night stand before leaving the room, closing the door behind him.

"So Jeongguk ditched with Taehyung?" Jimin asked Yoongi who grabbed his bag off the floor and handed it to him. "Most likely, I don't know why I didn't think of it." Yoongi replied getting his bag.

"Do you think they like each other?" Jimin asked as they headed outside and shut the door, locking it. Yoongi tilted his head as he thought about it,
"Hm. I think it's more of a love than a like, Min."

Jimin's eyes widened as they made their way to the elevator, "You think so?" He asked as he pushed the button. The older nodded, "I mean, they have to right?"

"I guess so."

"Let's go back to my place today."

"I'm fine with that."

-

Jeongguk opened his eyes, squinting at the bright rich moonlight that had dripped it's way into his room. He groaned and snuggled back into Taehyung's embrace. He felt a kiss being given to him on the top of his head, looking up and seeing Taehyung's warm chocolate golden eyes looking back at him. That same heart fluttering smile painted on his handsome face.

Jeongguk giggled as his hand went up to caress his face, "Sorry, did I wake you up?" He asked, his voice a little scratchy from just waking up. Taehyung shook his head,
"No. But I could get used to waking up next to you everyday." He teased the younger. His voice was deep and rich from just waking up. Contrasting from Jeongguk's light and scratchy one.

Jeongguk laughed and smacked his chest, "You're such a flirt. It's all you do." He said with a smile as Taehyung pulled him closer to him. Making their chests touch, "I don't see you complaining much, doll." He said kissing him all over his face.

Jeongguk smiled and giggled with delight at the feeling, "Taehyung?" He asked as the kisses came to stop. The other smiled at him sweetly making his heart skip a beat, "Yes, star?"

"You told me that if I was able to make you flustered one day, you would give me a present." Jeongguk reminded him with a little pout that was hidden with a sly smirk. Taehyung raised his eyebrow in suspicion, "Don't tell me you had this all planned out now." He joked making the other laugh.

Jeongguk shook his head with a tiny giggle, "No, but the memory came to mind." Taehyung pecked his lips,
"Hm, ok then. What do you want as a present then, sweetheart?" He asked as he draped his arm over Jeongguk's small petite waist.

The tiny boy smiled, "Kisses and cuddles!" He exclaimed cutely making Taehyung laugh at him heartily, he threw his arms over the boy hugging him with all his might, "We didn't get to kiss earlier, only cuddles." He pouted as he looked up at Taehyung with his bambi eyes.

Taehyung chuckled at his childness and carded his hand through the boys thick black locks, "Should we leave out the cuddles to squeeze in some more kisses then?" He asked with that sweet honey soaked voice of his that sent shivers down Jeongguk's spine.

Jeongguk hummed, tilting his head to think about it as his bottom lip stuck out in a pout, "I want cuddles too! But a little more kisses." He said nodding his head finalising his decision. Taehyung chuckled and pressed his lips against his smooth cheek, leaving a kiss there, "I can work with that just fine."

Jeongguk squeaked at the sudden move growing shy, "I-I'm gonna go wipe off my makeup really quick." He said getting out of the bed and walking out of the room into the bathroom next door. Taehyung mumbled a ok, loving the way his dainty hips swayed back and forth as he walked out of the room.

Jeongguk turned on the bathroom light, seeing his pink face. He sighed and got out a makeup wipe, going to his neck and wiping the foundation off. The tiny splotches of purple coming into view as they trailed all over his neck. They weren't big in size, being small but still noticeable. Of course that wasn't the first time Taehyung had ever given him hickies, but he knew the other didn't want to make him embarrassed or hurt him in any way, shape or form.

He wiped the little bit of makeup on his face off. Feeling his warm skin beneath his fingertips, his skin all this time had been left burning and tingling under the mere touch of Taehyung. It left him wanting more.

He huffed and tossed the makeup wipe into the bin, turning off the light and walking back into his bedroom seeing Taehyung smile at him. He stumbled over his pants that were on the ground, "Ah, I knew I should have just put them in the laundry basket." He said bending over and picking them up, tossing them into the basket next to his closet.

He turned around to be met with a blushing Taehyung, tilting his head in confusion, "What's wrong?" He asked standing there. Taehyung coughed, awkwardly scratching the back of his neck, "Jeongguk, a-are you wearing-" he cut himself off as his voice began to strain, "Are you w-wearing
p-panties?"

Jeongguk felt his stomach drop and face turn beat red, "W-What?" He croaked out to make sure he had heard Taehgung correctly. The older adverted his eyes, "A-Are you wearing p-panties?" He asked again.

Jeongguk lifted the bottom of his button up shirt a little, exposing the bit of the baby blue panties that he was wearing. It was made of soft cotton that was trimmed with dark blue lace at the top, adorned with a small silk bow in the middle.

Fuck. He had forgotten he was wearing panties. No one pays attention or keeps check of what undergarment they wear.

Jeongguk feeling flushed and hot, pulled down his shirt, "Um- yes." He responded feeling even more embarrassed seeing Taehyung's red face. "Jimin bought m-me a couple pairs of p-panties for my birthday as a joke. But I f-found them comftorable. S-So..." He told Taehyung, fumbling with the hem of his shirt.

Taehyung coughed, "Well, I t-think it looks really n-nice on you, star." He complimented making Jeongguk blush even more as he crawled under the blanket where Taehyung was now sitting up, deciding to plop himself onto Taehyung's lap.

"Y-You think so?" He asked looking down at his lap feeling embarrassed and shy. Taehyung chuckled and nodded his head, "Mhm, you look extra pretty." He answered, leaning and pressed his lips onto his in a short chaste kiss, placing his hands onto Jeongguk's waist.

Taehyung pulled away, his eyes traveling to Jeongguk's neck. The view of all the hickies he had painted onto the smooth sweet silk like canvas that was Jeongguk's skin. He smirked,
"I think I like this more than the panties." He said making Jeongguk blush as his hand went to his neck and grazed his masterpiece.

Jeongguk smacked his chest making him laugh, "Why are you saying things like that?!" He pouted as he crossed his arms making the other coo. Taehyung smiled at him and leaned in kissing him, "I'm sorry, dear. Just can't help myself."

"You can apologize in kisses."

Taehyung shot him a smirk as his eyes sharpened, "I like that idea a lot." He replied and placed his lips onto Jeongguk's before the other had time to respond. He smirked feeling Jeongguk immidetly return the kiss, wrapping his arms around his neck. His fingers tugging at his sandy brown locks.

Jeongguk let out a whimper when he felt Taehyung's tounge lick his bottom lip, opening his mouth and granting Taehyung permission. He groaned at the feeling of Taehyung's tounge in his hot cavern. He tilted his head to kiss him deeper, feeling dizzy and hot from the feeling of Taehyung's hands traveling all over him. He moaned when he felt Taehyung's hand grip his ass.

Their lips moved in sync together, fast and passionate and full of lust as their noses brushed one another. Jeongguk tugged on Taehyung's hair making him emit a deep groan. He let out a small whine when Taehyung took his sweet lips away, letting out a whimper when he felt him attach them onto his neck. He moaned a little at the feeling of Taehyung licking and sucking on his neck.

Tilting his head more to the right to give him more space. He let out a loud gasp when Taehyung bit his collarbone. Taehyung pulled away with worry in his eyes, "I'm sorry- did I hurt you?" He asked brushing Jeongguk's bangs out of his face. They were both breathing heavily with a thin layer of sweat on them.

Jeongguk shook his head, "N-No, just s-surprised." He mumbled with hooded eyes, before placing his lips back onto Taehyung's, pulling him into another deep love filled kiss.
Leaving a hand on Taehyung's neck as his other carded through his thick locks.

His moans were swallowed up by Taehyung, opening his mouth once again and letting their tounges engage in a lustful dance with one another. He could feel Taehyung's hard erection beneath his ass, needing friction he began to grind down onto Taehyung. Moving his hips in a way that made Taehyung's mouth water.

Taehyung moaned into his mouth at the sudden movement of his hips, his hands slipping under his shirt and gripping at the smooth silky snow like skin. Helping him move up and down.
Jeongguk was going crazy. Absolutely losing his sanity at the feeling of Taehyung gripping his bare skin that went on for miles and miles, the way he would move his hips up in sync when he grinded down on him.

God. Jeongguk was hard as fuck.

In the back of his mind he knew that he was feeling anxious, but it was clouded by the lust and actions taking place. He pulled away for air, a thin line of saliva connecting their mouths as they looked at one another with hooded eyes. Their chests heaving.

Not wasting a second, Taehyung attached his lips onto Jeongguk's neck. Nipping at the skin making the boy whimper and moan. He was hard, the feeling of Jeongguk rolling his hips back and pressing his ass onto his hard-on was making him want to do more than just kiss him. But self control is key.

Jeongguk let out a loud broken moan, when Taehyung sucked on the spot behind his ear, "A-Ah! Taehyungie." He moaned out, whimpering at the end when Taehyung licked the newly made hickey. He felt Taehyung chuckle against his skin, "Your mouth tastes like strawberries and cotton candy, but your skin tastes of sugar and cinnamon, doll."

Jeongguk blushed hard, feeling his face heat up, "It's the body wash that I use." He replied, nuzzling his face into Taehyung's neck, breathing heavily.
He could feel Taehyung's hard-on the more he moved up and down. And well- from what Jeongguk could tell, he was big.

He gently sucked at Taehyung's neck, not really sure how to make a hickey. Copying and pasting from what Taehyung would do, he licked and sucked at his deep collarbones making Taehyung groan. Pulling back and looking at the light purple hickey that he had made.

He yelped when Taehyung flipped him over onto his back, the blanket falling off of them. Jeongguk was left looking up into Taehyung's eyes that seemed to be a darker shade of brown, with a sharp look in them instead of the warm chocolate brown eyes he was used to.

Taehyung sat in between his legs, hovering over him, "You look beautiful." He complimented with a tiny smile. The way Jeongguk's eyes were filled with the rich moonlight letting all the stars twinkle and glimmer in those big doe eyes of his. His long eye lashes casted pretty elegant shadows down his face. His lips were plump and cherry red just like his puffy apple cheeks. Yet his white snow like skin looked smooth and silky as it always did.

His neck was littered in purple and Taehyung loved the sight of it. His chest was heaving up and down, and his skin was shimmering from the thin line of sweat. He was glowing under the moonlight rays. He looked prettier than any star Taehyung had seen or counted at night. The brightest one in his line of sight.

Jeongguk looked back up at him with his big shimmering eyes that made Taehyung's heart skip a beat. The look in his eyes. God. Taehyung just wanted to kiss him all night. He chuckled and leaned down, kissing the small boy on the lips,
"Jeongguk?" He asked pulling away and caressing his face gently.

The boy let out a small giggle,
"Yes?" He answered making Taehyung's heart flutter in his rib cage. Taehyung only smiled at him heartily.

"I like you a lot."

Jeongguk felt his heart stop at Taehyung's words. He smiled big as his nose scrunched up cutely,
"I like you a lot too." He replied, his chest felt light and fluttery. His stomach was full of butterflies that were soaring.

Taehyung connected their lips. Jeongguk kissed back slowly. Both of them savoring the sweet moment between them. This kiss different from the ones they had just had. It was loving and slow. Just wanting to kiss one another and savor the feeling. They both felt loved.

Smiling into the kiss, Jeongguk felt his heart pounding in his chest. Pulling away, "I love your kisses." He said giggling as he pecked Taehyung's red lips. Taehyung chuckled sweetly, placing the tip of his nose onto Jeongguk's in a eskimo kiss,
"I love your kisses too."

Jeongguk leaned into kiss him but got interrupted by Taehyung's phone ringing. He pouted as Taehyung got off him and leaned over to the nightstand and grabbed his phone. Sitting up and he pressed himself onto Taehyung's broad back, feeling his chest vibrate as he talked to whoever was on the phone.

Taehyung muttered a quick,
'I'm sorry' and a 'It won't happen again' before hanging up. Jeongguk kissed his neck gently, "Who was it?" He asked as Taehyung turned around and brushed his hair out of his eyes,
"It was my Uncle and Aunt. They're mad at me because the school called them and told them that I left during the day. So they want me home now." He explained.

Jeongguk tilted his head and pouted,
"But you promised me last time you would stay the night." He counter argued and crossed his arms getting a little upset. Taehyung only smiled and chuckled lightly, "I know, but my Uncle and Aunt sounded really upset. And I doubt your clothes would fit me."

Jeongguk sighed, "Promise to stay next time then?" He asked sulkly, sticking his pinky out. Taehyung wrapped his pinky around his sealing a promise, "Next time, star. I promise." He said leaning in and pressing their lips together before getting off the bed.

Jeongguk grabbed his phone from the nightstand noticing a little sticky note next to his phone. Growing confused he grabbed it, reading the little message on it.

Hey! Me and Yoongi stopped by earlier but found you and Taehyung sleeping. So we left, but text me when you wake up! - Jimin

Jeongguk smiled at the little note,
"Did you hear Jimin and Yoongi come in earlier?" He asked Taehyung setting the note aside. Taehyung turned around, fixing his blazer, "They came in earlier? I didn't hear them." He replied.

The floorboards creaked under the weight of Jeongguk getting out of the bed, scurring over to Taehyung and helping him with his blazer,
"They left right after they found us sleeping. They could rob a house if they wanted to." He said as he smoothed out Taehyung's shirt. Feeling his slightly muscular chest beneath it.

The other grinned at him while he fixed his blazer, "It would have been a shame if they woke us up, huh?" He said, placing his hands onto Jeongguk's waist. Feeling the dip of his hips as he moved his hands and up down, feeling the smooth curves of his body.

Jeongguk smiled as he got on the tips of his toes and kissed Taehyung before falling back onto his feet,
"You're too tall for me, I can barely reach you." He stated, taking in their height difference. Taehyung laughed,
"You're just too short then, sweetheart." He replied, kissing the top of his head.

Jeongguk felt his heart flutter at the affection, "It's not really my fault though." He pouted, his hands trailed to the collar of Taehyung's shirt,
"Kiss?" He asked as his lips puckered up.

Taehyung chuckled and nodded his head, pulling him a little closer and connected their lips in a kiss. Jeongguk smiled into the kiss feeling all giddy and happy, like a toddler who had just gotten candy. Taehyung pulled away, only to peck his lips shortly, "I'm starting to think you like my kisses more than me."

"That's not true! I like cuddles too." He answered making Taehyung laugh at his response. "You're too cute for your own good, you know that?" Taehyung said leaning down and pressing their lips together for a second.

Jeongguk squeaked at the sudden move. Smiling when Taehyung held his hand as they walked out of the room and to the front door.
"Do you really have to leave me?" He asked as Taehyung slipped on his shoes and opened the front door, his bag over his shoulder.

"Only for tonight. Unless you want me to disappear under the wrath of my Uncle and Aunt for skipping school." Taehyung joked as he stepped outside, Jeongguk standing in the middle of the door with a smile plastered onto his face.

"Can we have another date tomorrow?" He asked leaning against the door frame. Taehyung smiled and nodded, "Of course! We can go back to my place tomorrow and you can meet my Uncle too." He answered.

Taehyung looked at the time on his phone, having a frown on his face,
"If I need to make it back on time I have to leave now." He said as his put his phone back into his pocket. Looking at the saddened boy in front of him. He smiled lightly, "Don't get too sad now, I'll call you when I get home." He compromised.

Jeongguk stuck his bottom lip out,
"Ok then, make sure not to forget though." He said as Taehyung promised him he wouldn't.

"Oh, hey Gguk." A voice said drawing the couple out of their conversation. Taehyung turned around being met with a boy who had grocery bags in his hands. Jeongguk remembered he wasn't wearing any pants and hid behind Taehyung.

"O-Oh, hi Eunwoo." He greeted back. Eunwoo looked at Taehyung and squinted his eyes as he set the bags of groceries down in front of his door,
"Oh! You're Jeongguk's boyfriend right?" He exclaimed connecting the dots.

Well shit.

Jeongguk felt his face grow warm in embarresment. Taehyung tilted his head in confusion, glancing back at Jeongguk who had his face pressed into his back, "Uh- Yes, that's me." He replied awkwardly feeling shy at the sudden title.

Eunwoo chuckled, "I thought so. I saw you the other day but didn't get to say hi. Jeongguk told me you were his boyfriend so I figured it'd be nice to say hi." He explained making Taehyung mumbled a small 'oh'.

Jeongguk knew Taehyung was smirking on the inside. That sly fucker.

"I'm Jeongguk's neighbor, Eunwoo." The neighbor said sticking his hand out as Taehyung smiled back and shook his hand. "Kim Taehyung." He greeted.

Eunwoo trailed his eyes to Jeongguk, looking at his neck and tried to stifle a laugh, "Uh- Gguk, I think you got a little something on your neck." Eunwoo pointed out as he smile to hide his laughter, his hand pointing to his own neck.

Jeongguk placed his hand on his neck and remembered all the hickies that Taehyung had given him. He flushed red and immidelity slapped his hand over his neck in embarresment,
"Oh- right. S-Sorry." He mumbled as Taehyung and Eunwoo laughed at him.

"Alright, I'm gonna go in now. It was nice meeting you Taehyung. Goodnight, Gguk." Eunwoo said bidding a farewell and stepping into his apartment leaving the two of them alone.

Taehyung turned around and smirked at the boy who was blushing cherry red, "Boyfriend, huh?" He said teasing the boy who backed up into the door frame growing shy. Jeongguk looked at the ground, fumbling with the hem of his shirt, "I didn't k-know what else to say when he asked me." He replied, his voice small.

Taehyung smiled leaning down and pecked his lips catching him off guard, "Jeon Jeongguk's boyfriend Kim Taehyung. I like how that sounds, it has a nice ring to it." He said making Jeongguk scoff with a little smile as he looked up at him.

"I think we'll have to wait a longer before we reach that." Jeongguk replied with a little smile on his plump red lips, placing his hands on Taehyung's chest. The older kissed his sweet lips, "I'm fine with that, but to be fair you did say it first."

"Well what did you want to me to say? I panicked, ok." Jeongguk pouted as he crossed his arms over his chest. Taehyung rolled his eyes with a little laughter, "Ok, ok, I believe you." He said and kissed the top of his head,
"I should start heading back now."

Jeongguk frowned, "Do you want me to walk you down?" He asked. Taehyung shook his head, "I'll be fine. And you aren't even wearing pants, sweetheart." He said pointing to Jeongguk's bare legs that were out in the open.

Jeongguk glared at him and pulled down his shirt a little more,
"I can go put some on really quick." He replied bouncing on the balls of his feet. Taehyung ruffled his hair,
"I'll be fine, Gguk. It's a little late already so you should eat dinner ok?"

The boy nodded and gave a little sigh at the others response. Taehyung turned around to leave but got stopped by a hand grabbing onto his wrist, turning around and seeing Jeongguk with a tiny pout on his lips,
"No goodnight kiss?"

Taehyung smiled at him, "You're beginning to sound a lot like me." He said as he placed his hands onto Jeongguk's tiny waist. The boy just giggled in response waiting for his kiss. Taehyung leaned down and attached their lips in a sweet kiss.

Jeongguk tilted his head and trailed his hands up to Taehyung's neck, bringing him closer into the kiss. Smiling when he felt Taehyung gently squeeze his waist. Loving the way their lips moved in sync and the taste of caramel in his mouth.

Taehyung pulled away, pecking his lips, "Ok, I really have to go now if I don't want to get in trouble." He said making Jeongguk laugh. The boy nodded and kissed him once more,
"Ok fine, you can go now."

Taehyung smiled and kissed his cheek, "I'll see you tomorrow, thank you for today. I enjoyed it." He said as he walked down the hall towards the elevator. Jeongguk giggled and waved to him, "I enjoyed it too." He answered as Taehyung walked into the elevator and disappeared out of sight.

He huffed and walked back inside closing the door and locking it. He smiled thinking about Taehyung as he walked back into his room, giggling to himself as he thought back to what had happened.

He couldn't stop smiling as he texted Jimin about what happened.

Taehyung couldn't stop smiling as he drove home, thinking about a certain raven haired boy that wouldn't leave his mind.

They felt like they were in love.

Hello, your author-nim here 😔✋ I don't know why it took me so long to update like what- also sorry for any grammar issues I can't spell for some reason.

So how was it?? 👀 Good I hope 😔

I kind of feel like my writing is so repetitive, and I try to fix it but my vocabulary is so plain and boring. Sorry for that y'all 😢

I try to make my writing beautiful to suit your guys reading tastes, and I do try my best to make it as beautiful as it can be. But I have realized lately that in beauty there is so much simplicity. I look up at the sky and the way the clouds are arranged makes me feel happy. I think now, beauty is simple yet sharp and defining as it always will be. Beauty is like a cloud, it can be big and small, there are many sides and curves to it, it can come in different forms and colors. But it all ties back to something. Simplicity.

Confused on anything? Comment here and I'll answer!~

Stay safe and healthy bubbies~ 😚
