CONTRACT MARRIAGE ||KookV||

22

Taehyung thought he had already gotten along well with Jungkook and had also gradually come to understand the depth of that man's affections. But it never occurred to him he had yet to touch the tip of it.

"Taehyung." Jungkook's voice came from outside, jolting him back to reality. Eyeing the doorway, he quickly put the newspapers and pictures back into the box, covered it, then returned it to its original place before hurriedly climbing down the ladder, three steps merging into two, as he ran out of the study.

Jungkook stood in the doorway of their bedroom, the towel used to dry his hair hanging around his neck. Seeing Taehyung exit the study, he then said, "What are doing staying up so late? Come over here."

Taehyung's head was completely filled with all the pictures from inside that box, and after setting eyes on Jungkook, his steps halted; and soon after, he did something that even after many years had passed, his recollection of it made him feel ashamed to return back to his village.

Making his way over to Jungkook with quickened steps, he threw himself onto the other when he was finally right before him. That's right, he threw his whole self onto him, jumping on the man with both legs wrapping around the other's waist and arms tightly encircled around his neck.

Jungkook got quite a scare by the smaller man's pouncing, the impact causing him to draw backwards by free steps before he could steady himself, and use both hands to prop him up by the butt as he held him.

"Hiss!" Jungkook's face got knocked by Taehyung's forehead. Sucking in a breath, and with an unhappy tone, he said, "Are you throwing yourself into my arms, or are you trying to murder your dear husband?"

Taehyung gave him no reply, instead choosing to tighten his embrace and bury his face with the hollow of the other man's neck while repeatedly calling out his name softly.

"What happened?" Jungkook noticed he was acting a bit odd.

Taehyung sniffed his nose, his voice a bit hoarse as he asked, "Why are you so good to me?"

"Why, hm? " Jungkook thought about it, then replied, "It's probably because I'm a good man, right? I don't want to see you crying, okay. It's too ugly."

[T/n: the word for ugly used here also means embarrassing]

Bull-crap. Taehyung said internally. It's obviously because you love me...you've loved me for such a long time.

Taehyung did not expose him. Since Jungkook wanted to conceal it, he chose to treat the matter as something he had never discovered in the first place

"Jungkook..." hugging for a while, Taehyung finally spoke.

"Hm?" Jungkook replied.

"Please let me down," Taehyung said. This kind of position was too embarrassing, as there will always be this kind of feeling after performing such a jarring action.

"Let you down?" Jungkook raised a brow, "Who was the one who launched himself like a rocket onto me a moment ago?"

Taehyung's face became flushed by his words, it was just that a moment ago he was simply too moved. Knowing that Kookie held such a big secret in his heart made him unable to restrain his repressed emotions, thus giving him the urge to do something so embarrassing.

"Hm? Where did all that vigour you just had gone, huh?" Jungkook dragged his hand over the other's buttocks, pinching it harshly, "Scared?"

All those stirred up emotions he felt from his discovery of that Kookie's secretly being in love with him had yet to be tempered, and now because of that man's teasing, Taehyung's mind grew heated, causing him to cup the man's face and go straight in for a kiss, delivering a reckless kiss against his lips.
