With you all, It's forever💜.

The naked body of Taehyung stretched under the sheets as the man steered awake from his sleep. He blinked open his eyes and a new day welcomed him with bright light, the first feeling that surged through him was panic. Panic about being late to the office, he hurriedly sat up and grabbed his phone just to see on the screen…

Sunday 9:40 AM

After a relieved sigh, Taehyung plopped down on the bed again. It's a free day, he can sleep some more.

But his mind had already started processing the previous night, he looked around himself only to find that he was not in his bedroom. It's Jungkook's room. 

His body becomes more conscious when he turns on the bed to check out the other side of the bed but it was all empty. Jungkook might have woken up early.

Taehyung yawned loudly and pulled himself up, the sheets were wrapped around his middle and he knew he was naked beneath them. 

He blinked the sleepiness away and found that the room was thoroughly cleaned. There were no remnants of the night before on the floor and the sheets were new too. 

Taehyung stood up, holding the sheet against his waist and waddled to the bathroom. 

The bathroom had his own memory when he entered, washed himself and took a cool shower. The bathroom was neat, no used condoms inside the bins, a fresh paper laid out in the bottoms of bins.

Taehyung smiled that he loves cleanliness around him although sometimes he likes messy work as well.

With the sheets still wrapped around him, Taehyung went to his room and chose some comfy clothes for the day. He was standing naked in front of his body-length mirror when he noticed the hickey on his thigh. His fingers lingered there pressing it to see if those purple bites reflected any pain.

A dull throbbing under his fingertips led him to his back and Taehyung turned his back to the mirror. 

His eyes widened when he saw a series of red and blues on his left asscheek, littering with a lot of finger marks and harsh hickeys. 

He shakes his head while massaging his asscheeks, he just wishes he didn't feel any pain while sitting or moving. A smirk widened on his lips when he realized that it would be Jungkook who would have a hard time to sit and move.

He was ready to start his new day when he stepped inside the kitchen. An empty kitchen. 

His nose twitched when he smelled the heavenly roasting bread in the oven, a garlic paste already cooked and placed on the stove, And the brewing tea in the kettle.

He wondered how early Jungkook might have woken up, his eyes wandering to find the younger.

He walked around his house till he reached the back door. He twisted the knob and found the younger one sitting on the patio while working on the compost of the plants.

It happened two weeks ago when Jungkook suggested his interest in gardening to Taehyung. He said that gardening relaxes his numb fingers after his working hours. So Taehyung agreed, after all, who wouldn't want some greenery in their houses.

Taehyung has only one condition that he will fund the garden no matter how low and high its expenses would be. Jungkook consented after a little argument when he realized that this is Taehyung's house after all and it's not like he would be able to throw the garden over his shoulder and shift it to his own house after the treatment. 

Taehyung watched how Jungkook was focusing on the tiny details of the compost, he was moving from one side of the garden to the other.

Well. There was a small limp in this walk.

Taehyung bit his lips when he remembered he had taken the younger again in the early hours of the day.

It wasn't his fault, Jungkook was rubbing his ass right over his-

"Instead of standing on the threshold, you can come here to help me, you know." Jungkook glared at Taehyung while a playful smile was spreading on his lips.

Taehyung saluted and followed the younger's movements to falten the compost in the roots of the plants. 

"I was about to propose an idea. I have had it in my mind for a few weeks now."

Beside him Jungkook frowned," What Idea?"

Taehyung hummed grumpily when his wet hair struck inside his eyes, he flicked his head and continued," As you know, my recent case was a huge success. So till I find another case that matches its ratings, I'm considering taking my patch of holidays."

"Your government holidays?" Jungkook asked.

"Yeah. My law firm pays the expenses of a family trip once a year. So what do you say? Should we go on a trip?" Taehyung shot his idea as if it wasn't a big deal.

Jungkook kept quiet for a moment, his fingers still working," With me?"

"Shouldn't you wait and then use this trip with Mehrin? I mean it's her right." Jungkook worded it out very softly, as if his voice would hurt the plants around him.

Taehyung went silent at that. His mind goes back to the memory of when he last went on a trip. It was Paris, two years back. Their honeymoon.

And he remembered how he buried those memories right there when his wife screamed at him for the first time in bed. 

You are a monster. 

Taehyung cleared his throat, "You are right. I will use it later. I suggested it because I know you submitted your project yesterday and thought it would be better if we take a break and just hang out." 

Jungkook looked back at Taehyung but Taehyung had turned his back to Jungkook as he was tending to the other side of the plants. 

There was something inferior in Taehyung's voice as if he didn't deserve to travel. The thought rendered something ugly inside Jungkook and he spoke again," Can't we go on a trip on our own? I mean that way I wouldn't feel like I am taking advantage of Mehrin's spot or taking something away from her." 

Taehyung paused in his motions and turned toward the younger, both of them were scrunching down on the ground, " You aren't taking advantage of anything here. It's not like that."

Taehyung's lips pressed close in silence and Jungkook thought he might have crossed a line here. Their relationship… wait no. They are strangers actually, there is no relation between them. They are here together for the treatment as a couple. He shouldn't have mentioned his wife.

But sitting here, hands filled with cold compost and watching Taehyung lost in his thoughts, Maybe something is going on inside him.

"I went with my wife-"

"No, Please. You don't have to share something with me. I'm sorry, I shouldn't  have mentioned her like that." 

Taehyung tilted his head at Jungkook and sat on the ground fully, crossing his legs comfortably," It's okay. We aren't strangers anymore. I'm sure we will remain friends after the treatment as well."

Friends.

Is it what they are?

Yes, outside the bedroom that is.

Jungkook stared at him when Taehyung raised his eyebrows and continued," Our first and last trip was our honeymoon. It happened after six months of our marriage actually, because we both needed time to get to know each other better."

"Mehrin was the first choice of my parents for me. Before marriage, we met a few times and I found that she was a very sought-after kind of girl. Many admired her for her beauty and maybe that's why she became a favorite to my parents."

By this time, Jungkook too had taken a seat on the floor beside Taehyung. He doesn't know why but it looks like Taehyung has never shared these things with anyone else before. So he finds himself getting more curious after each sentence. 

"What does she do for a living?" Jungkook asked.

Taehyung hummed for the answer," She was studying fashion design. But after our marriage, she dropped out."

"Dropped out? Why?" Jungkook still felt a throat-tightening hesitation in asking questions. 

"Told me that she wants to take care of me more. I mean she said she doesn't find comfort anywhere else other than our home. I told her to do whatever she likes and she decided to stay at home." 

Jungkook was listening to everything carefully and he isn't from the society that judges a person with their life choices but the reason didn't settle down inside his chest. Taking care of Taehyung? By doing what?

Since the three weeks he is staying here, he observed that Taehyung has a very busy job. He comes back home mostly after 8. Taehyung does the cleaning and dusting of the whole apartment and they order take outs for breakfast, lunch and dinner.

So what exactly was she doing to take care of Taehyung? Maybe moral support? Jungkook shook his head, it's not appropriate to judge someone like that, it's not his business.

Taehyung had a small melancholic smile on his face while talking,"We decided to plan our honeymoon after our love confessions. It was good and everything was going amazing till the night came and she screamed at my face calling me a monster."

Jungkook's mouth fell open as he gaped at Taehyung with wide eyes.

"It was my favorite destination but from that day I erased all of my memories of that city." 

Jungkook was still looking at Taehyung who was looking down on his lap," I had relationships in my law college as well. From the start I know one should be understanding towards the other for a happy bond. So I understood my wife and supported her, still doing so. Just sometimes her words echo in my head negatively."

Taehyung stopped talking after that. He didn't mean to talk this freely but once the first sentence pushed forward from his lips, it started becoming paragraphs and then a story.

"She loves me, you know. I love her too. Living beside her for two years was good. I hope this treatment… will bring us closer." His throat contracted when he finished the sentence, he doesn't know why?

Jungkook hummed beside him, lost in thought of his own marriage. He envied Taehyung for talking so freely about his feelings, meanwhile his internal fears were stopping him from converse. 

He should talk too, after all if Taehyung can find a friend in him then he can share a piece of his life too.

"My schooling isn't from here," Jungkook said.

Taehyung yanked his head towards Jungkook in urgency as if he didn't expect Jungkook to speak up. 

"I studied in LA. Came back here during my wedding week. Yeonsu is my Father's bestfriend's son. Both have been business partners since their young age. He proposed the wedding to me and asked me to go on a date with my husband." 

Jungkook wasn't looking at Taehyung now, he had picked up a pot from behind and started to work, to keep his hands busy.

"My husband is nice. We liked each other and then got married. Now after four years, I think I am happy too."

Taehyung didn't question anything when silence surrounded them once again but he could sense a but at the end of Jungkook's talk.

"He has made me feel very special in our four year married life, taking me on dates, planning extravagant trips abroad, texting me confessions throughout the week." Jungkook was close to choking on his words by how much depth they are coming from.

"Yet. Yet he believes that pleasuring a man is exactly the same as pleasuring a woman. I mean… four years of love won't make him realize that this is a lie. You know it's now about the sex actually." Jungkook stopped working and continued," It's about the lack of interest of your partner in you? Right?"

Jungkook asked Taehyung who was too stunned to speak, a man who married another man doesn't know how to pleasure him in the span of four years? It was too much for his empty stomach to digest.

"I don't think being with Mehrin during treatment would be helpful or not. For Mehrin it will be but for Yeonsu I can't say. We will be back to square one once I go back." 

"I am sure that doctor has planned something for that too." 

Jungkook nodded," Yeah, he said so. Yeonsu will be visiting the doctor once a week and the doctor will direct him through the knowledge of gay sex."

Their microwave tinged signaling the time out and Jungkook stood up from his seat," The breakfast is ready, come." 

"Ah, Yeah. You go, I will be right behind you." Taehyung said and started wiping his muddy hands on the towel. Jungkook was already ahead of the path to the kitchen.

Taehyung bit his lips in confusion and fished out his phone from the pocket. The receiver picked the call after two rings," Mr. Park, have you gathered any information yet?" 

His face was passive while listening to the boy," You have one week. After that either you will get me all the information or you will rot in prison." He didn't listen to the other party and cut the call.

Something is wrong, really really wrong. You claim you love a person and yet you haven't any interest in that person. What the. 

Jungkook was spreading the garlic spread on the bread when Taehyung joined him at the table. He filled two glasses with juice and put one at Jungkook's side while Jungkook put the toast on Taehyung's plate.

"So… About the trip. How does Italy sound?" Taehyung proposed again. 

Jungkook's eyes lit up at the mention of Italy," Italy? This is where you wanna go?"

Taehyung sensed the excited tone under Jungkook's wide smile," Yeah. Why? What happened?"

"I have been to Italy with my friends during college. The drinks are just," He made a clicking sound with his tongue and then threw his head back before rolling it forward again," And Food!!! It's just heavenly."

Taehyung's eyes twinkled at the mention of food," Yeah? You sure? Then it's done! You will be my guide. It's my first time visiting that country. What do you say?"

Jungkook raised his thumbs up because his mouth was filled with toast and Taehyung didn't even stop to finish his food, already taking out his phone to book the tickets. 

"The reservation goes per week. Should I book for one week or two?" Taehyung asked and Both of them stared at each other. Jungkook was chewing his bread while Taehyung was looking at him for an answer.

And then both of them spoke up at one time," Two weeks definitely." Their laughter echoed over the dinning table as Jungkook took sips from his juice.

~

The plane landed in the capital of Italy, the beautiful city, Rome. The colorful buildings with classical Greek architecture over mountains were mesmerizing. One can't take their eyes off the fascinating sights. 

The roads were filled with different kinds of flowers on either side, narrow alleys in between huge buildings and never-ending staircases as if they were leading you to heaven.

Over crowded shops, the aroma of fresh bread and delicious food was all around the market.

It was nighttime when Taehyung and Jungkook reached their reserved hotel after an 11-hour flight. Both of them checked in and Taehyung took the two keys from the reception. It was a small hotel, situated in the upper part of the mountain. It has an open pool but Both of them are too excited to go to Jungkook's favorite bar to look around properly.

Glorica

It was a family bar Taehyung realized when he saw children sitting along with their parents, there wasn't any prohibition at all. Jungkook grabbed Taehyung's wrist and led him to the farthest corner of the bar counter.

"One Negroni and one Limoncello, Please." He placed the order for their drinks and joined Taehyung who was still looking around the bar.

"Wanna look at the upper floor?" Taehyung looked at the younger and nodded excitedly, Jungkook again grabbed Taehyung's wrist and led him to the upper floor. The smile that was spreading on Taehyung's lips was really silly if you ask him, his eyes were stuck on Jungkook's hand on his wrist.

The way they skipped steps on the stairs while laughing and pushing each other, no one can conclude that they were just strangers that met a few weeks ago.

Taehyung wondered what's even happening in their lives but before he could ponder in his thoughts, his eyes went wide watching the difference between the ground floor and first floor of the bar. 

Jazz music was playing loudly on records, the middle of the floor was full of drunk people dancing in each other's partners' arms. Totally wasted, a man was going down on a girl who was gripping the table behind for support. She had erotic expressions on her face, one hand grabbing the head of the man to pull him closer.

Jungkook smirked at the shocked expressions of Taehyung and nudged him towards an empty table.

"I didn't expect that actually. There are literally children on the ground floor. What the hell?" Taehyung asked when he finally got the vibe of the bar.

Jungkook waved off his worries," They aren't allowed here. The security is pretty tight and their parents are enough guards for them. Did you like the music?" 

Taehyung closed his eyes and hummed," It's totally my type. But I need a partner to enjoy this music with me." he said while lifting an eyebrow at Jungkook.

Jungkook makes an innocent face and gaped his lips before nodding," Well, there are many people around you. You can pick one and enjoy your night."

Taehyung tilted his head, catching up on Jungkook's innocent play so he smirked as well," Is that mean we are allowed to take another person home? Wouldn't it count as cheating?"

Jungkook raised one eyebrow at him, it was a silent challenge in his eyes," Well, I'm not saying that you should sleep with them but healthy flirting is a way of living life and I was talking about…. dance actually." 

"Awhh so you were talking about dance, okay let's see which fish will get this hook." Taehyung said and walked to the dance floor, leaving Jungkook alone on the table who just rolled his eyes in response but still looking back at his waning back.

Taehyung smiled at the couples dancing around them, charming the audience and started moving his body to the beats of Jazz, his waist flowing in rhythm as if the droplets of alcohol were sliding down someone's throat. Too smooth but leaves enough burn behind.

He received compliments from the elder couples, stares from peers and desires from the teenagers.

Kim Taehyung is a man of charm. His aura is too attractive to get unnoticed, each and every fiber of his body felt inviting. Lastly, the big smile on his lips left all the hesitation and soon he was surrounded by many people.

They were just dancing around him, he observed. He smiled when a lady took a circle and grabbed his hands to dance, their bodies moving together in dance steps. 

The lady was laughing shyly around him, Jungkook sighed and grabbed his drink that just arrived. 

He hummed in satisfaction when numby taste of alcohol slid inside him. He savored the flavor, it's still the same. He looked up from his drink and find that lady holding Taehyung's neck while whispering something in his ear.

Taehyung laughed in reaction and replied something. And the lady jerked away from his arms immediately. 

Jungkook frowned at that but he averted his eyes from the dancing stage when he saw Taehyung coming towards him.

Taehyung sat on the chair, his breath ragged but a big smile was on his face.

"So?" Jungkook asked.

"So? So what?"

"Find someone to take home?"

"Nah. We were just dancing. She proposed but I declined. She has some moves though." 

Jungkook gulped the last sip of his drink and grimaced at the bitter taste it left in his mouth.

"What did you say to her? I'm pretty sure she looked adamant." 

"You were observing? "

Jungkook poked his cheek in annoyance," Don't be smart. Just answer what I asked."

"Woah, Daddy Jungkook is mad."

"Taehyung, I will kill you."

"With what? Your lips? Or…"

"Finish that sentence I dare you."

Taehyung rolled his eyes, with a bright teasing smirk he winked at Jungkook," It's a secret. Whatever I told her, it will be a secret forever."

Jungkook shrugged but he wanted nothing more than to strangle Taehyung till he spurt out the answer but he controlled.

"Fuck your thoughts, I'm out to the floor." 

"I will cheer for daddy!" Taehyung lifted his glass in the air while Jungkook totally ignored that asshãt's voice.

Jungkook joined the dance floor, his both hands going in the air while his hips rolling in slow circles. The alcohol was doing good to his body, he felt control leaving from his fingers as he started dancing with others.

The song changed along with the partners and suddenly the same lady landed in his arms, he gave a small smile before they started dancing together.

"Is it your turn for the dare now?"  The lady asked.

Jungkook, whose eyes were moving around the tables to locate Taehyung, frowned suddenly," Excuse me?"

The lady smiled," Your husband, he told me about your dare." 

Jungkook's face got stunned along with his heartbeats, his steps faltered, movements went slow and his focus zeroed on the lady.

"You have a very charming husband, fella. I am not that good at receiving rejection but when your husband showed me your ring on his finger and then I caught your glares. It was the cutest." The lady laughed while covering her mouth. 

Jungkook coughed and stood a little away," It's not like that."

The lady looked at him funnily, "So should I pursue him?"

"No."

"I mean. You should not. He's-"

"Hey, my gorgeous baby." Jungkook shrieked in surprise when Taehyung came from behind and hugged him.

The lady's laugh turned into a happy smile," Here he is. Don't worry, I am not taking your husband away from you."

The lady left. And Jungkook's body slumped against Taehyung’s chest," Why did you tell a lie?"

"Well, I'm in a relationship with you right now. And I'm married. Where is the lie?"

Jungkook goes silent at that. These word play teases the sensations of his body, bringing the strikes over his heart. He should back away from this man.

This man is dangerous.

Jungkook turned into Taehyung's arms, now facing him directly. Taehyung was glowing under the dancing lights, he noticed. He noticed his gaze on his own lips and dived into it.

The kiss was feverish, too hot and too messy. 

Taehyung whimpered in Jungkook's mouth when he felt teeth digging into his lower lip. He squeezed Jungkook's ass in response, kept kneading it till their lips molded against each other in a good way.

The tongues played with each other, sucking and slurping the salivas down the throat. 

"Where do you want it?"

Taehyung asked while his hand was already palming Jungkook's crotch at a slow pace.

Jungkook captured Taehyung's lips into a kiss again. This time, moving their feet along the feet. Taehyung had no idea which direction they were heading but he could feel the darkness around him growing into the cold breeze of the streets.

"Here. I want it here." 

In the back alley of the bar, a small space between two big buildings, Jungkook demands the cock of his impostor husband.
