CHAPTER EIGHT
***
Bacon, eggs and the smell of freshly cooked coffee were that kind of morning vibe Jungkook wished to get to feel every single day.
If only he hadn't had thrown up all over Taehyung last night and the memory of that just got back into his brain when he saw Taehyung sitting next to him in bed, holding a small table that was specifically made to have breakfast in bed. "Good Morning sleepyhead", he grinned, taking a sip from his coffee.
"My head hurts like shit", Jungkook grumbled, sitting up slowly.
The older pointed towards the younger's nightstand where he had placed a glass filled with cold water and some pain killers next to it. "Take those and you'll feel better", he suggested.
Jungkook sighed and then did exactly that. "Thanks, man."
"You're welcome", Taehyung said softly.
"I'm sorry for throwing up on you last night", Jungkook added shyly, "Didn't mean to get that drunk."
"It's fine", the older said, "Just know that you're not going out by yourself so soon."
"I'll never drink alcohol ever again anyway", Kook groaned, still holding his head after he dunked the whole water without stopping once. He felt as if his whole inner body was dry and drained out as if it hadn't gotten any water in years.
Plus, his tummy kept turning upside down every time he looked at the breakfast Taehyung still had placed in front of them.
"Is that for me?", Jungkook asked quietly, worried if he was even able to eat something that early in the morning with a tummy like that.
"No, that's for me", Taehyung laughed. "Rosie always makes it when I have a rough day ahead of me."
"Why didn't I get any", Jungkook pouted, crossing his arms.
"You would have if you wouldn't have thrown up all night, baby", Taehyung leaned over and gave him a kiss to his forehead. "Rosie will be here all day so once you feel like eating she'll make you whatever you want to have."
"Wait, I'm not coming with you today?", Kook asked in a small voice. "Why not?"
"It's a business day full of meetings and boring stuff. It'd be annoying for you to be around all that, just take the day off and have a nice day to yourself, alright?"
"Mhm", Jungkook said. "Fine, if you give me your Netflix password-"
"It's tannie01", Taehyung grinned.
"Oh right, where's the fluffball?", Jungkook asked, looking around because he couldn't see the little freaky dog from yesterday.
"He's currently getting his hair done", Taehyung explained. "Rosie is taking him out for that."
"Your dog is a spoiled brat."
"Just like you", Taehyung chuckled and then got up and put the breakfast aside. "You two are very much alike."
And with that he changed into business clothes and grabbed his bag full of scripts and papers.
"When will you be back?"
"Around 8pm-ish."
"That's the whole day!", Jungkook exclaimed, "I'll be so fucking bored here in this huge house all alone-"
"Welcome to my life", Taehyung sighed and then left the room to avoid further discussion.
He would've loved to take Jungkook with him all day, just to have his company throughout the boringness of business life. Yet he wasn't allowed to bring the younger, his company told him in the morning not to bring his boyfriend in today.
So what choice did Taehyung have? Right, none.
*
"Why is everyone looking at me like that", Taehyung grumbled after entering his company's main building. His whole team was sitting around a table, just waiting for him to arrive. "Did I get into a scandal or-"
"Not yet", Jisoo replied, looking at Taehyung all serious. He sat down, anxiety taking over him. There was nothing worse than not knowing what everyone was thinking. Being able to read minds would actually be really helpful right now since nobody was saying something.
Even after two more minutes, none of them was answering Taehyung's question, they just read through papers and then looked up at him again.
"Taehyung who allowed you to get into a new relationship?", his social media assistant asked to finally release the tension in here and get the conversation going. "No one, it's my personal life and I'm capable of taking care of it on my own?", Taehyung said awkwardly, "Why, where's the problem?"
"There's not necessarily a problem in dating", Jisoo grumbled. "But did you do a background check on who you are with though? I'm telling you, this boy basically screams drama."
"Oh so now you've got a problem with me being gay?", Taehyung laughed out, "Hate to break it to you but we're in the 21st century and society is much more open-minded than you think it is. And if they're not, I couldn't care less."
"That's not the problem Taehyung, calm down", Hoseok mumbled. He hated to be somehow responsible for all of this. At least he was the one who brought Jungkook into Taehyung's life. "So Jungkook's the problem?", Taehyung lifted his eyebrow in disbelief, "He didn't do anything to you, how can you say he's drama?", the boy now hissed towards Jisoo.
"Do you seriously think we don't have our eyes on you at all times?", she chuckled, "This kid has been drunk two days in a row, making a public scene and you had to pick him up both times. What if the media sees it, it could ruin your reputation if you're seen around bars and around an alcoholic."
"He's not an alcoholic", now Hoseok cut Jisoo off, staring at her. "He's just a kid, let him be. He just turned 21 some months ago, let him live."
"I do", Jisoo said, "But as long as he's part of Taehyung's life he has to live his life in secret and not in public. And this boy won't do so, he doesn't listen. He just does whatever he feels like-"
"And that's amazing", Taehyung interrupted. "I really fucking need someone like him in my life. I've had to be mature since I can think, I never got to live and having him by my side makes up for it. It's good for me, he's refreshing."
"And a danger to your career", his social media manager said. "We can't have people like this around you."
"This is not your decision to make", Taehyung snapped. "None of this is. Stay out of my private life, your job is to manage my career. Jungkook isn't part of it. Get used to me having someone else in my life other than you guys. I can't be working all the time."
"It's not like we're giving you a choice Taehyung", Jisoo said. "You're not going to bring him to any other business related things, he'll stay home and if he goes out in public you will not go outside and pick him up. We don't want you to be seen with a guy like this in public, is that clear?"
"I'm so close to firing you", Taehyung snapped at her but she only gave him a laugh.
"You wouldn't do that."
"You're right", Taehyung said in a small voice, knowing way too well why he would never fire Jisoo from his company. "But you should really get over it, I'm not breaking up with Jungkook, Jennie is dead and I'm done crying over a dead bitch who cheated on me for years."
Jisoo didn't say another word. She just turned around and left the room, not coming back anytime soon.
Taehyung however gave his team a smile, "I'll take the day off. Bye", he turned around and left the company not even half an hour after entering it. Jungkook hopefully would be happy to have him back so soon.
When he did come back though, he found Jungkook sitting at the dining table together with Rosie and Yeontan. The dog was sitting on the table, watching them doing a puzzle while barking every time Jungkook tried to put two wrong pieces together.
Taehyung's heart made a few skips when he saw the three of them sitting there so peacefully, looking all cute and almost like a small family.
What a view.
"Oh, you're back early", Rosie said as she noticed Taehyung entering.
"I took the day off, my team pissed me off", the boy explained and walked over to see what puzzle they were doing. It was a spongebob puzzle.
Jungkook was still focused and busy, not giving Taehyung any attention until he had solved that puzzle. "Is your tummy feeling better?", the older asked softly, wrapping his arms around Jungkook's neck while hugging him from the back. Maybe that way he'll get some of the younger's attention.
"What?", Jungkook said, pushing him off. "You're interrupting my braincells working", he snapped and then looked back at his puzzle.
"He's been like that since we started", Rosie shrugged. "He's really dedicated, I think it's cute-"
Taehyung rolled his eyes, "Yeah but now I'm home so he can dedicate his day to me-"
"Well, I doubt you'll get him there", the girl chuckled.
Taehyung grumbled something under his breath and then took his dog, "Let's go upstairs then, right Tannie?"
One second and Jungkook's head shot up.
"Oh you really prefer cuddling him instead of me???"
For a second Taehyung gasped in disbelief. Did he just snap at him after pushing him off literally a minute ago when he tried cuddling the boy.
"Do I have your attention now?", Taehyung laughed but only earned a pissed glare from the younger. "I thought I'm your boyfriend, not that dog."
"My dog prefers me over a puzzle though", Taehyung winked and then walked off, grinning when he heard Jungkook pushing his chair back and rushing after Taehyung. "Hey so you're back early, is it because you rather spend your day with me than with work?"
"No, I simply needed a day to myself", Taehyung replied sharply, so the boy wouldn't feel too confident in himself. Of course Taehyung came back because spending time with the younger sounded ten times more entertaining to him than lame business meetings with a team which didn't approve of anything Taehyung was doing with his life lately. Especially the dating part.
Jungkook nodded and then hopped onto the bed after Taehyung straightup entered the bedroom. "So what are we doing? Are we having sex again because damn, I'm so fucking down for it", Jungkook blurted out, legs going wide automatically. "N-no", Taehyung said in a small voice, "I'm not really in the mood for that, sorry-"
"Why? Have I been that bad last time? 'cuz dude you've been so good. You could do that for a living and get rich from it."
"From fucking someone?", Taehyung asked, eyebrows furrowed.
"Yeah. You fuck like a pornstar."
"What even is that comparison", Taehyung sighed, "Funny how you compared me to a pornstar when you met me and do it now again."
"Maybe you should do porn instead of normal movie acting", Jungkook giggled, "Bet millions of people would love to get off to you on their screen."
"You'd be fine with me doing such a thing?!", Taehyung asked in disbelief, a little disgust swinging along his voice. "Yeah sure", Jungkook laughed, "Why wouldn't I?"
"I don't know-", the older hummed, "Just thought you'd prefer if you have me to yourself."
The younger chuckled amused, "Do I look like the jealous type?"
"Yes", Taehyung let out, simply pointing onto Yeontan to prove his word with one small action.
"Yeah but like", Jungkook gulped, "That's different. I wouldn't really care if you'd do porn tho"
"I'd literally kiss and fuck someone else-"
"Yeah and I'd be jealous if this thing was something real, y'know. But do I look like I'm in love with you?", Jungkook giggled, "I'm not so you do you and I watch", he winked and thought he said the right thing with that but when Taehyung only nodded and then turned away, he knew; that wasn't what Taehyung wanted to hear.
The boy grabbed a book and started reading without bothering to answer Jungkook anymore. "Yo", Jungkook sighed, "I thought we'd fuck or something-"
"I told you I'm not in the fucking mood for it", Taehyung snapped lowly, sounding way harsher than intended to be.
"Okay Okay", Jungkook said quickly, lifting his arms in defense, "No need to be that pressed. Why are you in such a bad mood? Did something happen at work?"
"No, fuck off", Taehyung grumbled.
"Dude what did you wanted to hear? Did you seriously think I'd say oh yes baby I would get so jealous if you would fuck someone else, dude I don't care. I'm being paid to pretend to be in love with you, not to actually love you."
Taehyung nodded slowly, "It's enough, Kook."
"Love yourself first, otherwise no one will ever love you the right way", Jungkook shrugged and then got up from the bed. "Have a nice day, I'm going shopping."
"I thought we'd spend the day together", Taehyung sighed, trying his best to hide how mad he actually was.
"So what you wanna do?", Jungkook grumbled. "I'm not in the mood either to hang out with Mr Grumpyass if that's how you're gonna be all day."
"I thought we could maybe have a movie night and order pizza, or maybe just talk and drink some wine. We could also play games or just cuddle and..-"
"Yes"
"What? Yes?", Taehyung asked in surprise, taken aback by Jungkook's sudden smile all over his face.
"I'm down for all of it. Let's get some wine and talk outside on your balcony while cuddling, then once the sun sets we'll go inside and order pizza while watching movies, does that sound good?", Jungkook gave him that innocent smiley look he had up the day they met.
Taehyung nodded, gulping dryly because he still was highly confused by Jungkook's sudden change of mind.
He seemed super bratty seconds ago and now he sounded like the perfect boyfriend?
"Sounds perfect to me", Taehyung replied though, smiling softly when he saw Jungkook putting on a hoodie by the older, cuddling himself into it as if it was the prettiest thing he ever wore.
"Great", Jungkook grinned at him, eyes sparkling through his dark lashes.
Little did Taehyung know that Jungkook was gonna be the better actor in all of this;
even though Taehyung was the professional.
