Taehyung went to the kitchen first and then to the living room to see Jungkook on the sofa watching television. He was laying down on his side, his head laying on the arm of the sofa.
He looked so peaceful, but he also looked stressed.

When Taehyung walked into the room he lifted his head and looked at him.

“Hey? You okay?” Jungkook asked as he propped himself up on his elbow. His hair stuck to the side of his face from how he was lying down.
It made Taehyung smile.

Instead of answering him right away he walked over to the sofa and sat down when Jungkook moved his legs so he could fit.

Taehyung looked at him and smiled. This was it. This would be the moment that would hopefully change everything for the better.

“Tae..please answer me. Are you okay?
Did i do something?” Jungkook frowned.

Taehyung grabbed his hands and watched as Jungkook looked down and then back up at him with confusion, but he gripped his hands back nonetheless.

“You didn't do anything wrong kookie and yes, I'm very much okay now.” Taehyung said as he rubbed his thumbs over Jungkook's knuckles.
“I wasn't for a few moments, but Jin said like 2 sentences that knocked some sense into me.”
He smiled brightly.

Jungkook softly smiled, still confused, but happy that he was okay.

“You look so beautiful..” Taehyung whispered.
He watched as Jungkook's eyes widened and as he looked down and blushed. Taehyung's heart melted. This boy was the one he wanted.

“Stop that.” Jungkook said shyly. “I look the same as i did earlier, probably worse.” he laughed.

Taehyung dropped Jungkook's hands and reached up to cup his face.
“shush. No negative talk.”

Jungkook felt like his heart was going to beat out of his chest. This wasn't expected.

“What are you doing?” He said quietly as Taehyung came closer to him.

“Looking at you”

“But why? This is the most you've looked at me in weeks.” Taehyung frowned. He knew it was the truth but he hated hearing it.

“I want to change that” he came closer.
“I want to fix everything.”

Jungkook felt like he couldn't breathe as he felt Tae's breath on his lips.

“Please let me.” Taehyung brushed his lips against Jungkook's. “Let me make you mine."

Jungkook felt Taehyung press his lips against his so he kissed back. He kissed back and he heard a moan come from Taehyung. He immediately moaned back, loving the way Tae sounded when he made such noises.

Taehyung pressed Jungkook back against the sofa, his hands moving up and under his shirt.

Jungkook was happy, really, but despite that, he broke the kiss and spoke with a breath.

"No."

Taehyung hesitantly pulled back, resting his hands on Jungkook's bareback.

“No? Are you okay?” Taehyung's voice became concerned. He didn't want to force Jungkook to do anything that he didn't want to do.

“Not like this Taehyung.” Jungkook said.
“It hasn't even been a day yet and I don't want you to want me just because of something Jin said.” He became quieter as he spoke but he never broke eye contact.

Taehyung's hold on him became tighter as he continued to speak. “If we go any further with this, i don't want it to stop” Jungkook reached up to grip the arms holding him.

“because i don't want just you Tae, i want us, and i only want that to happen when you want it too.”

Taehyung looked at Jungkook softly but spoke frantically. He didn't want to lose Jungkook now. Not in this moment over something like this.

“I do want you. I really do and i know it took a long time for me to realize it but i want you.”

“I've been such a bad friend. I've pushed you away so it's no wonder you're questioning all of this.” Taehyung moved his hands down to rest on Jungkook's waist.

“And I'm not only doing this because of what happened with Jin. He just helped me open my eyes to everything."

Taehyung watched as Jungkook sadly smiled and sat up a bit.

“If it took Jin to open your eyes, what are you going to do if you close them again?
You can't just keep going back to Jin.”
jungkook asked, truly wanting to know the answer.

"I'll come to you or do something myself." Taehyung knew this was a serious conversation. This could determine if they end up together.

Taehyung and Jungkook talked for 30 minutes. They went over their fears and they went over what they shouldn't do when they doubt things.

"Okay, so we have concluded that you don't run away from me anymore, right?"
Jungkook said while looking into Tae's eyes.

"Yes we have. You also have to take care of yourself and we don't let the media hurt us." Taehyung smiled.

"Correct! I'm sorry that i brought all of that up,
i just didn't want you to make a mistake that you'd regret." Jungkook stood up and stretched.

Taehyung followed and reached for the boy's hands again. He was definitely more comfortable thinking about the future now and he honestly felt like he was on top of the world.

"I don't blame you for asking. I'm glad you did." Jungkook smiled and looked into Taehyung's eyes.

The tension that was between them earlier was no longer there. Having a real conversation with each other after so long definitely made both of them feel better.
