The Bodyguard •Taekook•

chapter 3 (edited)

"..nice name" He forced a smile before grabbing his empty plate and placed it onto the sink as he then felt his phone buzz in his pocket.

It was a text from Jimin, wondering if he wants to hang out with the rest of the group tomorrow.

"I wish" He muttered to himself and texted his friend back, saying that he'll ask his father first.
...

The time finally came as he was now in front of his dad's office room. With a deep breath he reached his hand and knocked on the door before taking a step back.

"Come in" He heard his father call from the other side of the door.

"Taehyung, what brings you here?" The younger bit down onto his bottom lip as his eyes shot over at his father who was seated at his desk, leaning back onto the chair as he waited for an answer.

"I wanted to ask you something, if that's possible" He uttered in a low voice, still unsure how to bring up the question.

"Sure, go ahead" Mr.Kim nodded as the boy took a final deep breath before speaking.

"One of my friends just texted me and asked if I could hang out with them tomorrow. I wanted to ask for your permission since I'd like to stay for longer than 8 p.m" Taehyung managed to say as he nervously played with his fingers.

"You can but with one condition. Your bodyguard will accompany you"

"Understood dad" He nodded. Somehow, Jungkook accompanying him doesn't affect him anymore. In fact, he started to really enjoy Jungkook's presence.

He also really likes the fact that Jungkook started being closer and caring to him, even though it's possible that he's doing all this for his job it's still a nice feeling.

"Thanks dad" With a sincere thanks he stood up and left the room, now heading to get something to drink from the kitchen.

He opened the refrigerator and grabbed himself and Jungkook a drink before closing the metallic door back.

Yet, as he was about to climb the stairs his phone started buzzing in his pocket so he fished it out and saw that Jimin was calling.

"Hey hyung"

"Hey Tae. Wanted to check if you talked with your dad about tomorrow"

"I did and he's okay with it. Jungkook's coming with me though, I hope you don't mind that too much"

"Of course I don't. Actually, I really enjoy Jungkook's company" Jimin remarked and Taehyung was 100% sure that he had a mischievous smirk while saying that.

"You midget, stop with that!" He half yelled into the phone, irritated by his overly flirtatious best friend.

For as long as he can remember, Jimin has always been the flirty type, especially when it includes attractive people and Taehyung usually doesn't give a damn. Yet, this time is different since it's because of Jungkook that he's this overly flirtatious and that bothers him for good.

"Why Tae? Hmm.. are you jealous in any case?" Jimin teased.

'This bastard, teasing me every chance he gets' Taehyung thought as he rolled his eyes.

...

As he finally got back in his room he found the cough empty as the sound of running water came from the bathroom.

He placed one of the soda cans on the coffee table and laid on his bed, scrolling through his phone as he waited for Jungkook to finish.

Soon after, the door of the bathroom opened as he was met with Jungkook, his hair was still wet as drops of water slided down his neck and finally sank into the white towel that was loosely wrapped around his neck. Just a perfect view for the younger's eyes.

"What took you so long?" The older asked as he ruffled his hair with the towel.

"Talked with Jimin on the phone. I brought you a drink from downstairs, drink it while it's still cold" Taehyung said as he was pulled out from his not so innocent thoughts.

"Alright, thanks"

"You're welcome" Taehyung showed off a small smile.

"Don't you think you stare for too long?" Jungkook chuckled out and looked over at the younger, who's been silently staring at him for a while now.

"The wet hair really suits you" Taehyung bursted out, but just as fast his eyes widened in shock at the realization of his suspicious compliment.

"Thanks I guess" The older said before nonchalantly taking a sip from his soda, as Taehyung on the other hand was internally screaming at himself for saying his thoughts out loud.
