Taehyung looks at the blue sea in front of him. The sun is shining brightly making the cold day turn into a pleasant one. This is what he needed to calm himself. The beauty of nature.

As he stands on the edge of the water, a pair of arms wrap themselves around him. The warmth of the sun and the body warmth makes him feel so comfortable, kind of happy and relaxed. The wind makes Taehyung's skirt flow in the air, making it appear like the most beautiful scene ever.

"You're so pretty, Tae." He hears him say.

"Am I now?" He asks for reassurance but instead of getting an answer, he feels a pair of lips pressing at the back of his neck. Taehyung can already make out that the other is smiling.

He feels a hand cupping his jaw and turning him to face the other. He knows what's coming. They are going to kiss each other in the most romantic way.

"Taehyung!" The man calls out his name ever so loving.

"Yeah?" He replies.

"Tae!"

"Taehyung!" The blue haired boy wonders if the other person is just going to call out his name and not say anything else.

"Tae, wake up!"

"Wake the fuck up, dude. Are you sure you're sleeping and not unconscious?" Jungkook's irritated voice finally reaches him as he slowly opens his eyes. Taehyung looks around and blinks his eyes multiple times to adjust to the sunlight that is seeping through the bedroom.

"Wow, took a lot to wake you up." Jungkook says shaking his head as he walks over to his table and starts putting some books in his bag.

"What time is it?" Taehyung asks as he slowly sits up. "Half past eight." Jungkook replies and turns to look at Taehyung who has been stretching his sore muscles. The blue haired boy's eyes widen. "Holy shit! I'm late. Why didn't you wake me up earlier?" Taehyung shouts and dashes towards the bathroom to do his morning routine, leaving a laughing Jungkook behind.

"You literally just showered last night so you can shower after coming back from your classes. If you do that, you won't be late." Jungkook shrugs as he looks at Taehyung inside the bathroom.

The blue haired boy spits the toothpaste in the wash basin and glares at him. "Shut up! I'm still mad at you for not waking me up earlier."

Jungkook walks to the bathroom and leans at the door frame with his arms crossed across his chest. He has an amused smile on his face, "It's usually you who wakes up earlier though."

"Well, it's you who slept after me and woke up earlier than me just in order to avoid me a few days back." Taehyung says in a 'matter of fact' tone and Jungkook can hear the slight bitterness in his voice. He sighs. He didn't want to ignore Taehyung. He really didn't but he also does not want to drag the boy in his shit. The kind of life Jungkook lives is not a cup of tea for everyone and staying close to Taehyung would only increase his roommate's chances of being in danger.

But even though Jungkook is the future mafia boss, he is still a human with a heart. He is cold hearted, of course, but not for the blue haired boy who is standing in front of him right now with toothpaste dripping down his chin but he is still managing to look absolutely adorable.

Whenever Jungkook looks at Taehyung, he knows that he is fucked. He cannot resist Taehyung and his beauty. He feels these warm feeling in his chest that he has never felt before whenever he is with his roommate. All this is just too weird for Jungkook. He has been admiring Taehyung from afar but now that they are in the same room, it's even harder for him to control himself.

"Earth to Jungkook!" Taehyung says as he snaps his fingers in front of the ravenette's eyes.

"Huh, what?"

"Why did you ignore me, Jungkook?" Taehyung decides to ask. He is a bit nervous because he does not want Jungkook to start ignoring him again but he cannot contain his curiosity even if he had decided not to indulge himself too much in Jimin and Jungkook's matters.

"I... I didn't want to." Jungkook says and looks down. He does not want to lie to Taehyung but he cannot tell him the truth either. Not only it would put Taehyung in danger, it would also make Taehyung think differently of Jungkook. Maybe like a criminal? Maybe he would get scared of his own roommate and not want to be friends with him anymore? Maybe he would think of him like he thinks of Jimin and start avoiding him? Well, he should actually be avoiding Jungkook but both the boys are doing exactly what they shouldn't be doing.

"Then why did you? I thought we're friends. Friends don't ignore each other for no damn reason." Taehyung says as he looks at Jungkook through the mirror. He sees the ravenette staring at him through the mirror too which slightly makes him conscious. He quickly washes his face so that he at least looks a little presentable.

"I had a reason though." Taehyung hears Jungkook's voice, this time from much closer, as if the ravenette is standing right behind him. He steps a little away and tries to turn around but a pair of hands grip his hips. A gasp leaves Taehyung's mouth and he slowly lifts his face to look at Jungkook who is already looking at him through the mirror.

"We're going to be l-late, Kookie." Taehyung manages to say somehow. The proximity has already made his heartbeat erratically.

"We can stay like this for five minutes." Jungkook says and pulls the other boy more into himself. Taehyung doesn't know how to feel about this. He totally loves this position but he is also unsure about it. Are they going to pretend as if this never happened, just like their kiss?

"What reason?" Taehyung asks almost in a whisper. He really wants to know why Jungkook ignored him like that.

"Hmm?" Jungkook buries his face in Taehyung's neck making the blue haired boy inhale sharply.

"The reason why you ignored me?" Taehyung prompts, hoping that he gets an answer. He places his hand on Jungkook's hand that are now locked around his stomach. He looks in the mirror. They just look perfect.

"It's kind of like... a secret, Tae. I really cannot tell you right now." Jungkook decides to say, not wanting to lie to the other but not wanting revealing too much as well.

"Oh, okay." Taehyung mumbles, slight disappointment is evident in his voice.

"Can I kiss you again, Taehyung?" Jungkook asks making the blue haired boy shocked by the suddenness of the question.

"Are we... are we gonna pretend like it never happened?" Taehyung asks, wanting Jungkook to say no.

"Only when we are in public." Jungkook says, hoping Taehyung doesn't take it otherwise. Its just that Jungkook cannot have the blue haired boy being seen with him. It will make him a potential target of his enemies.

"Okay." Taehyung agrees as well, primarily because he knows the kind of fandom Jungkook has in their university and the kind of reputation he has himself. Everyone would start hating him more than they already do if he is seen with the most popular boy in the university so this is the best deal he could get to save his ass from getting into further trouble.

"So is that a yes?" Jungkook asks. Taehyung nods shyly. Jungkook turns him around by his waist and pulls him so close such that their bodies are perfectly moulded together.

Taehyung's arms go around Jungkook's neck while the ravenette places his hands on Taehyung's waist. Their breathings become rapid as their lips start coming closer.

"Aren't we gonna be late though?" Taehyung asks as his lips are just a few millimeters away from Jungkook's.

"You should've thought about that when you decided to oversleep." Jungkook says, his one hand going under Taehyung's shirt only so much that it rests on the bare skin of the blue haired boy's waist.

"But I got off late from work." Taehyung pouts and Jungkook's cannot not kiss his pout.

So the ravenette pulls him closer and captures his lips. Taehyung's eyes widen slightly at the suddenness but then he closes his eyes. His one hand goes in Jungkook's hair and he plays with his soft, black locks.

Jungkook sucks at Taehyung's lower lip and brings his one hand up to Taehyung's cheek. He caresses the blue haired boy's face while his other hand makes random patterns on the skin of his waist.

Taehyung traces Jungkook's lips with his tongue and softly hums at the smoothness of the kiss. Jungkook takes this as an opportunity to open his mouth and enter his tongue inside the younger's mouth.

Their tongues play together. Jungkook explores Taehyung's mouth and his hands explore the blue haired boy's body over the clothes. His touches make Taehyung feel so good. He has never been touched in such a way, with such care. All this feels like the dream he had while he was sleeping. The only difference is that here it's Jungkook but in his dream, he could not see the face of the man. Could it be Jungkook perhaps? Or would it be too silly for Taehyung to think like that?

Once they run out of oxygen, they unwilling pull away. The both of them have a smile on their faces. Jungkook pecks Taehyung's lips once and whispers, "Words cannot define how beautiful you are, Kim Taehyung."

He notices how his blue haired roommate's cheeks turn into a deep shade of red. He looks absolutely adorable. Taehyung looks up at Jungkook shyly and hugs him, hiding his face in Jungkook's chest because he is too shy to face him.

"Thank you, Kookie." Taehyung says, unsure if this is how one responds to a compliment. Well, you see he has never been complimented before. Everything he is experiencing with Jungkook is entirely a new experience for him. Everything.

"You don't need to thank me for saying the truth, sweetie." Jungkook says, making Taehyung blush harder. The blue haired boy smacks his chest with no strength. He feels so happy right now.

They stay like that for a while but then they pull away when they hear a bang at the door. It sounds like someone is kicking it.

"JUNGKOOK! YOU ASSHOLE! YOU PROMISED TO HAVE BREAKFAST WITH ME!" Jimin's voice is heard through the door. Jungkook just sighs while Taehyung curls his hand on his chest, fear enveloping him as he remembers that night he saw Jimin shooting the unknown man.
