Chapter 39: Together, Apart

Taehyung longingly watched Jungkook. With one hand grasping the spoon and the other tightly around it, he committed him to his memory. The way his brows furrowed and his forehead creased. The continuous nods while he chew. The puffing of his cheeks when he had a mouthful. The characteristic hum he does when the food is good. The way his eyes become laser focused. It would be the last time he'll see him eat in person.

He did the same the night before. Despite being overwhelmed with passion, Taehyung kept his eyes wide open to see everything when they made love. He watched him bit his lower lip as he deeply and powerfully thrusted into him. He cherished how his eyes rolled back and how his lips parted in pleasure. He took in how he clenched their hands tightly against the mattress. He marveled at each and every sound he made and the way he called his name. He got lost with how he felt under his touch and within himself. It hurt him but it felt enormously good. He reveled on the warmth and the high he bestowed him. Taehyung kissed Jungkook's tears and held him like tomorrow will never come. And that's exactly what he wished.

But it came, so he was left with nothing else but to stare at him again. It was what he was doing until then.

"I'll just go for a while. Why are you looking at me like I won't be coming back?"

Taehyung finally blinked. "I miss you already."

"I don't want to go." Jungkook seemed like he was pleading.

"No." What Taehyung wanted is totally opposite of what he was saying.

"Come with me then." He dropped his spoon to reach for Taehyung's hand.

"What will I do there?" He asked, pouting.

"Anything. You can be a model there. Or you can start a Youtube channel." He was swinging their hands together.

"What will I do in Youtube?"

"I don't know. You can just stare at the cam. It doesn't matter. I bet people will still watch."

"That's absurd!" He moved his chair closer to him. "Let's just see for a few weeks. If we can't, we'll think of a way." He pulled his head to his shoulder. "You packed everything you need?"

Jungkook shook his head.

"Why? You forgot something?" He shifted to look at him.

"Can't be packed." He answered sulkily.

"What is it?"

"You."

...

"Take care of yourself. Never miss meals. Don't deprive yourself. Just call me if you need something okay? Bundle up when it's cold. Always bring a map, a dictionary or a companion with you. Call me anytime. Jungkook, that's anytime. Anytime you want and you need." Hoseok reminded Jungkook while checking his bags.

"I will, hyung. And don't worry about me." He gave him an assuring smile.

"Train and study well. Mom, said be careful there."

Jungkook sadly smiled and nodded.

"Take care. Call us whenever you want. We may be apart but we'll be there for you." Namjoon said.

"Don't worry about anything. We'll hold the fort here." Seokjin firmly held Taehyung's shoulder.

"We'll keep Taehyung in line while you're away." Yoongi reiterated.

Taehyung was standing ahead of Jungkook, holding one of his luggage. He strode closer to bring it to him. He stopped directly in front and looked him in the face.
