Chapter 3

There's an adorable blush on Taehyung's face when Jungkook pulls him into himself as soon as they're settled in bed. With an overwhelming fondness, Taehyung remembers how the maknae used to stiffen at the slightest touch from any other member when Tae had just joined the band. How he had immediately thought about befriending the boy the moment he'd set his eyes on him. He can still see Jungkook's beautiful doe eyes looking at him in wonder from his baby face, if he closes his eyes. From there to being the first one to be allowed to cuddle with Jeon Jungkook, to being the first one with whom he'd shared his food (or anything he owned, Jungkook was a fiercely possessive boy, still is!), to becoming his confidant, his soulmate, his most favourite person in the world (Jungkook's words, not his), it has been quite a journey, and he wouldn't change a thing.

Jimin keeps telling him that it's about time that Jungkook confesses his real feelings. But Taehyung knows that the younger is not there yet, he really doesn't know how he feels for Taehyung, and if pushed, he will just end up confused, and frustrated. Taehyung doesn't want that. He's happy with the attention he's showered with everyday, anyway. Jungkook doesn't treat him any less than a devoted boyfriend, minus of course the more intimate things that couples do. But sometimes he looks at Taehyung in a way that makes him feel devoured, especially when Taehyung has just removed his makeup, or when he stares at him after waking up, or when he's just changed into some really well-fitting clothes, or just when he's sitting, all spent from a dance practice. Taehyung just blushes a deeper shade of red, realising that there's nothing he particularly needs to do to see Jungkook looking at him like he's the centre of his universe. Thank god the lights are off, he thinks to himself.

JK: Voo, what're you thinking?

V: Nothing much

JK: Don't lie

V: Gukkie, it's really nothing

JK: You're thinking about me, aren't you?

V: Wha... no.. nopes.

JK: Then who? (Jungkook feels jealousy rearing its head)

V: Tannie

JK: Ohh, then that's ok (phew)

V: What do you mean that's ok? I can think about anyone I want!

JK: Not when you're in my arms, no!

V: What?

JK: What?

(He's not realised what he's said)

V: Never mind you jealous bunny

JK: I'm not jealous. I'm cool

V: Of course

JK: You know Voo, I wasn't kidding. I am going to tell them that I don't want to talk about you like that. They can make others talk like that about each other. Why does it always have to be us?

V: It gives us more ratings, more people talk about it, more trends on Twitter... Guk-ah, you know about this. People love us, anything about us is news

JK: That's true. Hey, did you know about this? Apparently, this year at the Grammy's we were the most talked about couple!

V: Cou...what?

JK: Yep. Seems like everyone was asking each other if we were dating, we looked so in love! And some even said we seem like a married couple! Imagine

V: (goes into a fit of violent coughing)

JK: Voo! Hey... hey... drink some water. There... there... feel better

No I can't, not with your hand under my t-shirt, rubbing my back, trying to soothe me, It's not working Jeon, Taehyung wants to shout.

He just nods his head instead.
