"These are really good, Jungkook." Taehyung says as he looks through the designs.

Jungkook appears from the bathroom brushing his teeth. "'heir nhot hat hood."

"Yeah. I'll pretend I understood that." The pinkette says flipping through the pages.

Jungkook goes and rinses his mouth out before returning and plopping down next to Taehyung. "I said they're not that good."

"They are. You've got everything from classy streetwear to formalwear here." Taehyung says. "Then there's the T-shirt and jeans aspect, totally you. And then there's the stylishly baggy style that I don't understand."

Jungkook chuckles. "They're just stupid designs."

"What's the V stand for on all of these?" Taehyung asks.

"Hm? Oh, that? It's like a logo I was trying. The v's for victory." Jungkook says as he cuddles up next to Taehyung. "Do you actually think these are good?"

"I do. They're amazing." Taehyung says putting his arm around Jungkook.

They continue looking through the sketchbooks, Jungkook commenting and giving back stories on some of the looks.

"It was really cold one day and I kept wishing I had a coat that wasn't some hideous bubble coat." The younger explains. "So I made this really cute semi bubbly coat."

"Semi bubbly." Taehyung chuckles.

After a while Taehyung puts the sketchbooks away and pulls Jungkook onto his lap.

"What?" The younger asks looking down at him.

"Kiss me." Taehyung says as if it's the most obvious thing to do.

Jungkook chuckles and leans in to kiss the other.

Taehyung smiles into the kiss as well and they both end up laughing.

"You're so annoying." Jungkook complains, rolling off of Taehyung.

The pinkette chuckles softly. "Hey, baby?"

Jungkook hums, sitting next to him against the headboard.

Taehyung holds his hand out and the younger takes it. "What did he say to you today?"

Jungkook knows he's talking about Yugyeom. "Why do you ask?"

"I just want to know where your mind is right now." Taehyung says honestly. "I know you were with him for a long time and~"

"What are you saying, Tae?" The younger asks, his tone even and patient.

"He didn't make you want to go back, did he?" The pinkette asks straightforwardly.

Jungkook sighs with a sad smile. "You have such little faith in me."

"No. No it's not that, it's not that at all~"

"I love you, Taehyung." The younger says. "I'd never even dream of being anywhere with anyone, just right here with you."

Taehyung nods. "I'm sorry. I'm an idiot."

"You're not. I'm not feeling old feelings, I promise. Okay?" Jungkook says squeezing Taehyung's hand with a smile.

"I love you." The pinkette says.

"I love you too." Jungkook responds, leaning in and kiss Taehyung softly on the lips.

"What time is our flight tomorrow?" The younger asks.

"8am. Why?" The pinkette asks.

Jungkook shakes his head and kisses Taehyung again, it's more heated and eager than before but Taehyung isn't complaining as he follows Jungkook's lead.

Jungkook positions himself so he's straddling Taehyung's waist, tangling his fingers into his soft pink locks.

Taehyung's hands grip Jungkook's waist as their lips move together in sync.

The kiss is heated and they both are eager, Taehyung's grip tightening on Jungkook's waist as the younger absentmindedly moves his hips.

Jungkook's hands move from Taehyung's hair to the front of his shirt, gripping the fabric tightly in both his fists as he purposefully moves his hips now.

Taehyung breaks the kiss. "Jungkook."

"Hm?" The younger hums, trailing kisses down Taehyung's jaw leading down to his neck.

"M-Maybe we should try to sleep now." The pinkette says breathlessly.

Jungkook's actions stop all together and he looks down at Taehyung. "Why?"

"Because our flight is early tomorrow and~"

"No. Why do you want to stop?" Jungkook asks, his mind hazy with lust.

Taehyung shakes his head. "No, it's not that I want to. I just..."

"Just what?" The younger asks.

"I don't want to do it like this." The pinkette says honestly. "Us, together for the first time. I don't want it to happen like this."

Jungkook nods, blaming his lust for the disappointment he feels.

"I want to be with you. I do, Jungkook." Taehyung says after reading the younger's disappointed expression. "I just want it to be special. And planned. Not just out of nowhere."

Jungkook nods again, climbing off of the pinkette. "I understand."

"You're upset." Taehyung says with a sad expression.

"No. I'm not, really." The younger promises. "I want it to be special too. I'm not mad. Okay? Don't be sad."

Taehyung tries to smile as Jungkook kisses him softly.

"I'm gonna wash my face." The younger says before climbing off the bed.

Taehyung sighs, pulling a pillow to his chest and hugging it.

    "Here. Find something for us to watch while we fall asleep." Jungkook says handing Taehyung the remote before going to the bathroom.

The rest of the night isn't awkward or uncomfortable but it's obvious that they are both trying to make up for either being upset or for ending their little make out session.

At the end of the night they end up asleep and cuddled up to each other like nothing ever happened.

—

    "I want to take a break."

    "What?"

    "A break."

    "W-Why? Taehyung, what are you saying?"

Taehyung sighs. "Have you been listening to me for the past thirty minutes?"

    "I have." Jin says from the other side of the phone. "But I don't understand, Tae. What happened?"

The pinkette sighs, looking out his bedroom window as he sits on the windowsill.

Jungkook had went out to shop for some things they needed around the apartment before it got too late, even though Taehyung told him that he usually sends other people to do those kinds of things.

    "I just think I need a break from everything. Especially modeling." Taehyung says. "I just want to focus on myself and my relationship for a while."

    "How long is a while, Tae? We've got events backed up all the way through September." Jin says, stress already forming in his tone.

    "I'm not quitting, Jin. I'm taking a break. My contract runs out in August and I won't renew it until I feel ready." The model says. "I thought you'd understand."

    "Tae." The older sighs. "I understand, I do. But if you take too long of a break it might take your sales down."

    "I know." Taehyung says. "I just think it'd be good for me. Not statistically speaking but emotionally and physically and mentally. I need to get out of the spotlight for a little while. I'll still be me when I come back."

    "Okay. I'll let the company know." Jin says, his voice still apprehensive.

    "But anyways, I need your help with something." Taehyung says.

    "Sure, what is it?" Jin asks, never one to turn Taehyung away when he needed him.

    "First, you have to promise you won't laugh."
