Chapter 9: Light

"Jeongguk---are you okay?" Taehyung wonders what made Jeongguk so furious. Did he had a fight with someone? Jimin? Yoongi raises Hoseok hyung?

"Just---please?" Jeongguk pleads and Taehyung automatically nods. There is no way he can say no. And he might also know what 'for a while' might mean.

"Yeah---yeah. Okay." Taehyung says and takes off his apron. He walks out from behind the counter and Jeongguk immediately takes his hand in his own---softly yet firmly. Taehyung hopes Jeongguk will tell him what happened.

Jeongguk walks a little faster---just wants to get out of here, just wants to be with Taehyung. They reach the parking and Jeongguk opens the passenger door for Taehyung again. Might not be the right time but it makes Taehyung flustered again.

The whole car ride is in thick silence, it's tense. Jeongguk's expression is still firm, eyebrows drawn together and Taehyung had to look away. He doesn't even want to ask him where they are going.

Jeongguk stops infront of a building which is far more elegant than Taehyung's.

So Jeongguk's taking me to his apartment. Okay...

Jeongguk does unbuckle Taehyung's seat belt again and leans forward to open the door too but it's almost immediate and Taehyung wishes it was in slow motion.

They both get out of the car and Taehyung follows Jeongguk inside the building---into the elevator and his apartment---silently. Taehyung gets a little time to admire Jeongguk's apartment as he is spun around and being embraced by Jeongguk in a tight hug.

Jeongguk's arms are tight around Taehyung's waist and Taehyung slowly circles his arms around Jeongguk's shoulders. Taehyung is dying to know what happened but right now---he wants to stay like this for as long as possible.

Jeongguk hesitantly tilts his head and hides into Taehyung's neck and the blue haired boy shudders as he feels Jeongguk's breath on his neck. Taehyung begins to rub Jeongguk's nape softly with his fingers and he can feel Jeongguk's lips almost touching his skin.

"I hope you don't mind." Jeongguk whispers and Taehyung shivers as Jeongguk's lips does touch his skin.

"I don't." Taehyung whispers back. A moment later, Taehyung breaks the embrace and they part just a little so they can look at each other. Taehyung slides his hand to Jeongguk's chest as they look in glittery stars of eachother's eyes.

"Can we---can we get to know eachother---after this?" Taehyung says and Jeongguk looks at him in confusion.

"After what?" Jeongguk asks and Taehyung doesn't answer---he leans in, hand curling onto Jeongguk's shirt, eyes closing, heart going wild as he softly locks his lips with Jeongguk's.

It's a really soft press of lips and Jeongguk feels like he's imagining it but no---such euphoric feeling can't be imagined---it can only be felt in reality and he is feeling it right now.

Jeongguk is just a little surprised because it's Taehyung who initiated it. Though Taehyung panics slightly when Jeongguk doesn't respond and pulls back---expression morphing into shame.

"I'm sorry---I---". Can't complete as Jeongguk's lips are on his and they are soft. Jeongguk pulls Taehyung incredibly closer---leaving no space between them as they close their eyes and bask in the melody of their lips.

Jeongguk takes Taehyung's bottom lip between his lips and sucks gently---earning a soft whimper from Taehyung and it encourages him but he decides to take it easy---doesn't want it to end up like first time. Though Taehyung wants Jeongguk to kiss him like more and more because he knows he can never regret it.
