The silver head pulled a thin loose shirt over his head as he dressed into comfy sweatpants. The hot shower certainly relaxed his tensed muscles but it didn't help to soothe his raging heart. Slowly, he made his way to the room opposite his and stood there with his forehead pressing against the mahogany wood.

Should I?

His silver bangs were dripping in droplets as he missed out to dry his hair after the shower. His heart contemplated if he should enter the room where Jungkook is probably asleep or worse, just out of the shower.

Taehyung thought for a second. He didn't want to come across as a predator on loose after what happened in the living room but his heart is not convincing him to leave the place without checking on the raven head.

"Screw it."

The older pushed the door handle down but he realized that it was looked from the inside. "Aish." He groaned. Soon, a cheeky smile crept into his lips when he looked down at the handle and looked at the keypad attached to the door with numerical values.

"010997, ding!"

The door opened magically as per the silver head's wish. What Jungkook probably didn't know was how Taehyung has changed the doors to password encoded where he alone can unlock any doors from the outside in his house.

As the door was opened gently, Taehyung tried to keep his footsteps quiet not wanting to alert the raven head. He slowly made his way and closed the door shut examing the dimly lit room with the assistance of the bedside lamp.

It wasn't difficult to spot the figure laying on the bed as Taehyung's eyes caught the curvy hips and lengthy body of Jungkook as the younger was lying sideways facing the door. With the shallow breathing raising his chest up and down, Taehyung can only assume that the younger is in a deep slumber.

The silver head inched closer to the king-sized bed. With the illuminating light by the side, the silhouette of the raven head was outlined in all the right places. Taehyung's lustful eyes trailed his naked chest to his crafted abdomen as his biceps were showing its tone figure as the younger was supporting his head with the palms of his hand.

Jungkook is way muscular than Taehyung envisioned. "Wow." The older gasped as his eyes turned back to take in the younger's face. Not only that, Taehyung was hooked with the area just underneath the younger's ears trailing down to his collar bone. "Bloody hell." The older gasped when he saw the marks he left on the raven head bruising to shades darker than before.

Once again, the silver head gulped in guilt. He shouldn't have done that. "I'm sorry bun, I didn't mean to." Taehyung ran his fingers down the younger's side profile, admiring the sweet little innocent face.

"You just make me behave out of my mind Jungkook. You need to stop provoking me." Taehyung whispered, not risking the chance of awakening the younger.

"Sleep well bun."

Taehyung leaned forward. The gentle kiss on the younger's forehead didn't reach it's destined place as Taehyung froze in the middle. He didn't complete his heart's desire. He couldn't kiss the younger without his permission. It's not the right thing to do.

"Im sorry." The silver head stood back up and turned the bedside lamp off before making his way out. He even ensured to lock the door from the outside just to make sure Jungkook will not be alarmed if he finds the door unlocked the next morning.

The night fell on the pair as Jungkook tucked himself in deeper into the comfort of the cotton bed while Taehyung spent a few hours tossing in his sleep where unpleasant memories never stopped its hunt in the silver head's dreams.

.

"Morning Jungkook. Do you want some coffee?"

The raven head was waddling sleepily to the kitchen for some water when he was startled by the silver head who stood in the middle of the room with a cup of apple juice.

"Y-you have coffee?"

"Why does that fact surprise you if I may ask?"

"Coz you don't drink coffee. It tastes like poison to you." Jungkook chuckled lightly with the funny thought about how Taehyung once presented a debate on why coffee is a poison to his soul.

Taehyung sipped on his apple juice while eye-ing the younger. How did Jungkook know such a personal fact about him? Not even Taehyung's secretary who worked for him for years knows about this. Mrs Lana always packs a cup of coffee for Taehyung which the younger never touched and still it didn't seem to alert the middle-aged lady that her boss dislikes Americano.

The raven head's chuckle depleted when he notices he just said something really stupid. As a person who just met the older, Jungkook shouldn't have known this fact.

"I-I..."

"Have your coffee Jungkook. I requested my maid to get it for you." Taehyung pointed at the cup of steaming hot coffee at the counter while he leaned against the island, dangerously sipping on his apple juice.

"Thanks."

"No worries. Didn't know you'd hate me so much that you refuse to wear my clothes. Although appreciate you put on some pants and hopefully some boxers on." Taehyung said with a monotone.

The raven head's eyes widened as he looked down at his own body and mentally stabbed himself the hundredth times when he stared at his naked upper half. "Fuck."

"Oh with pleasure but maybe not right now coz I'm a little tired." Taehyung wiggled his brows at the stunned male as Jungkook sprinted his way back to the room trying to find a shirt to dress.

Minutes later, Jungkook had his walk of shame back to the kitchen where the silver head is now sitting in front of a big platter breakfast, enjoying them deliciously.

"Your share is over there." Taehyung pointed at the seat across of him and sure enough, an identical breakfast was there for Jungkook to dig in.

"Thanks."

The raven head took his seat and stared at the plate aimlessly. His stomach was growling but he was so reluctant to take a bite while Taehyung was devouring his food right in front of him.

"Are you not going to eat?" Taehyung placed his utensils down on either side of his plate and used the white napkin on his lap to wipe his mouth.

"S-sorry, I was just thinking. Thanks for the breakfast Mr Kim."

"Call me Taehyung."

"I don't think so that's very professional to-..."

"Jungkook, would you please stop treating me like a stranger?"

The raven head looked at the older. Breaking the barrier of formality is not going to do Jungkook any good as he will only hurt himself more if he ever gets comfortable with Taehyung. The past is a past which Jungkook has no rights to retrieve for he chose to escape from.

"I'm sorry Mr Kim, that won't be possible. I think I should leave. Thanks for being very considerate last night in allowing me to crash the night."

Jungkook said politely in a low voice. Truthfully, he was indeed grateful for the older's grace on him. Taehyung did react impulsively but he also ensured Jungkook was not leaving in a state where he couldn't uphold himself.

He walked back to the room as he was looking all over the place for the clothes he wore last night to only find it tossed in the bathroom floor. "No, I can't wear that now." He sighed in annoyance. He regretted his decision by not properly folding his outfit to reuse today.

"I guess I just have to wear his clothes then."

Jungkook was packing his suit into a paper bag he found oblivious to the presence inside his room. "What's the rush bun?"

"Omg!" The raven head was so startled he leapt a few meters off the ground sending the paper bag in the air. "Mr Kim! I thought I locked the door." Jungkook looked past the silver head and saw the door was closed and the lock was on.

"This is my house Jungkook. Of coz I can enter and exit anywhere I please." Taehyung took a step forward with his arms crossed as Jungkook inched backwards.

"Mr Kim..."

"Taehyung."

Jungkook wanted to say something but words were failing him terribly.

"Didn't you call me Taehyung last night when you were under me Jungkook? Do I have to repeat the same scene for you to call me by my name? I don't particularly fancy repeating myself. I get annoyed fast."

Taehyung tilted his head to the side with a naughty smirk on his lips.

"O-ok T-taehyung. I will be out of the way." Jungkook was hoping he could sneak past the young tycoon but it was probably the dumbest (smartest) move he would have pulled. With swift motion he was pulled back against the older's chest with his waist securely positioned in place by Taehyung's strong pair of arms.

"Why are you always running away from me Jeon?"

Taehyung's breath fanned down the younger's neck as Jungkook closed his eyes shut.

"Why don't we end this once and for all Jungkook? Why don't you tell me truthfully on the reason behind your behaviour and we can talk about it."

"There is nothing to talk about Taehyung. I said that it was a misunderstanding. It won't happen again. I won't be rude or annoying anymore. I'm sorry."

Jungkook said softly. He was losing his control and his body was on fire.

"How is it a misunderstanding when you know about my preferences Jungkook? No one I known for years can pick out my hate for coffee coz they are people born out of ignorance. How did you know?"

The raven head bit his lower lips for the simple yet deadly mistake he made.

"Now tell me bun, what are you not telling me? Why do I feel like you're forcing a facade and it is not what you really mean?"

Taehyung slowly released his grip from the younger's waist and held onto the side of his hips turning him around. Jungkook was like a puppet in strings being controlled by his master. The younger turned around inch by inch following the guidance of the older as his eyes remained on the ground.

His heart speeds up like a racehorse as heat travelled throughout his body, turning his cheeks and the tips of his ears to a blushed tone. Nothing went unnoticed by the older. Taehyung is fully aware of how timid Jungkook has turned whenever he touched the raven head.

It's like Jungkook reacts as a whole different person when Taehyung touches him versus when he is not doing so.

"Jungkook, are you ok?"

The raven head nodded. He is not breaking down. Hell, Jungkook is far from breaking down. He was soaring internally with the familiarity of the silver head's touch. Every single friction between them right now is taking Jungkook to places he once thought of his paradise. Being with Taehyung was Jungkook's dream and the 20-year-old him will never forget the feeling of finally being able to call the man as his own.

Unfortunately, it wasn't meant to last long. Right now, Jungkook is feeling selfish and ignorant for he is enjoying the touch of the man whom he can't call his own.

Taehyung doesn't belong to me. He doesn't. I'm not the one for him. I didn't mean anything to him. No. No, it can't be.

"NO!" Jungkook jerked away. The panic in his face and horror in his eyes confused the silver head.

"Jungkook, it's ok. You don't have to react like this. I want to talk. I promise I won't do anything else."

"I can't. It's not right Taehyung. It shouldn't be happening. I promised."

"What are you talking about?"

"I can't..."

"Jungkook, listen to me." Taehyung cupped the younger's face as Jungkook momentarily found his calm. He stopped panicking and stayed still under the older's touch.

"I have no fucking idea why are you behaving like this but I know you don't mean what you say. I can feel it deep inside my heart that there is something more to this. You know me before this project, don't you?"

Jungkook didn't want to answer that.

"Your silence is driving me against the wall Jungkook and trust me when I say this, I am the one to decide who shall associate themselves with me. Now, whether you like it or not, I have my eyes on you and I will not stop till I get what I want."

The raven head shivered slightly as he felt the goosebumps all over his body.

"You're mine bun. I know from the start you will agree to be with me. It's not that difficult to fall in love with me isn't it?" Taehyung chuckled as he watched the 20-year-old raven head blushed.

"Stop sounding like a creep." The younger rolled his eyes playfully.

"Oh Jungkook, am I not your favourite creep? I will not stop till I get what I want though and I got what I want in my arms now." His deep voice ring like a loud horn in Jungkook's ears as he felt the older caging him in a hug.

"I love you Tae."

"I love you too Jungkook."

The memory of their confession flashed in Jungkook's mind. At that very moment Jungkook knows that loving Taehyung was a sweet decision.
