"Stop staring me at Tae." Jungkook mumbled as he opened his heavy eyelids. It was 10 a.m. on a Monday. The two had slept for longer. But why not? Their winter break would get over in 2 days. They wanted to make the most of it.
"How'd you know I was looking?" Taehyung whispered, voice groggy, heavy and rough. Yet still, so so beautiful to Jungkook.
"Staring." He corrected.
"You were staring so bad I could almost feel your gaze on me."
"Shut up." Taehyung chuckled but didn't look away. Now, the two just looked at each other, admiring each other and their beauty.
"You're really pretty Tae." Jungkook whispered, his hand almost instinctively flew to caress Taehyung's cheeks.
"You're really pretty too babe."
"You know that's the first time you've told me I'm good looking?" Jungkook raised one eyebrow.
"Bullshit." Taehyung scoffed.
"I called you hot without even seeing your face. Those muscles and that sleeve tattoo did the job Jungkook."
Jungkook smiled and scrunched his nose. Taehyung's heart melted immediately and he didn't try to hide it.
"Gosh your smile is everything." He whispered as if amazed by this human in front of him.
"Yours too baby."
"God, are we going to be like those cringey couples who go 'You're cute' 'No, you're cuter'?" Taehyung spoke in a high pitched voice.
"Dunno, I'm just stating facts baby." Jungkook leaned in to kiss Taehyung.
"How are your lips not chapped?" He asked.
"Well, I like to take care of my skin Jeon."
"Hm, I can see that." He touched a pimple on Taehyung's face.
"Ow, don't do that!"
"Sorry." Jungkook giggled.
Taehyung rolled his eyes.
"I can stay here forever." Taehyung whispered, scooting closer to Jungkook and melting in the curve of his body.
"Me too. Let's do that then." Jungkook wrapped his arm around him.
"What? Stay here forever?"
"Mhm."
"But I'm hungry." Taehyung pouted.
He smiled as he felt Jungkook laughing above him.
"What are you going to cook for me in your house Taehyung?"
"You're gonna have burnt eggs and bacon if I cook."
Jungkook laughed again, "I don't mind baby." He stroked his hair.
"I do. Wanna have pancakes?" Taehyung looked up with sparkling doe eyes.
Jungkook looked away immediately, not wanting to fall in his trap.
"Uhm no. It's not good for your health-"
"Shush, you can handle it." Taehyung said as he patted Jungkook's stomach, reminding him that his perfectly sculptured body could take it.
"But Tae-" He protested.
"That's the only thing I can cook baby." Taehyung got up, already on his way to the kitchen.
Jungkook followed him, "You can make pancakes but not eggs and bacon?" He chuckled.
"There's something called as ready made pancake mix my love." Taehyung spoke from the kitchen.
Jungkook chuckled at his boyfriend's cuteness and blushed at Taehyung's nickname. He wondered how long it will take for his stupid heart to not beat so fast every time Taehyung called him a pet name or got too close to him. Or will it ever slow down?
He wondered.
|6:00 p.m.|
"So what exactly does one wear at a New Year's Eve party?"
"Flashy shit. All sequins and shiny and yeah, that kind."
"Been to a lot of parties, have you Jeon?"
"Been to one New Year's party, wore a fucking suit and tie."
Taehyung laughed in Jungkook's neck, "Why?"
"Business party. Dad took me there." He murmured, mindlessly running his fingers through Taehyung's hair.
"Was it good?"
"Disgusting and Boring."
"What made it disgusting?"
"There were women clinging on to me and eyeing me like I was a piece of meat. I felt like I was getting sexually harassed without even getting touched." Jungkook sighed.
Taehyung laughed.
"Well, do you have flashy shit in your cupboard?"
"Nah, I'm gonna wear simple shit. I don't wanna stand out."
"Hm same. Let me go see what I've got. Then we need to drive to your place too."
"Hmm."
|7:15 p.m.|
"Is this fine? Like am I looking good? Fine? Is it too less? Like do I look like I'm ready to go mourn someone's death? Is it o-"
"Shut up." Taehyung whispered after kissing him.
"You talk way too much. You look good, fine, better than fine."
"But isn't it too simple?" Jungkook looked at himself wearing a white shirt, a black leather jacket, black leather pants and black boots. Black was his favourite colour to wear, evidently enough.
"Maybe," Taehyung honestly replied.
"But I like it. Never told you but men in leather jackets are just so umph"
"Really Tae?" Jungkook snorted.
"Yeah like leather jackets and a watch on their wrist and you'll find me on my knees."
"For all men?" Jungkook raised an eyebrow, pulling his jacket sleeve a little up so Taehyung could get a view of his watch too.
"Especially you." Taehyung winked.
"Whatever." Jungkook rolled his eyes.
"Awe jealous much?" Taehyung giggled.
"Shut up." Jungkook mumbled.
Taehyung wrapped his arms around Jungkook's torso and rested his chin on Jungkook's shoulder. A wide grin on his face as he looked at Jungkook through the mirror. Jungkook couldn't help but smile back.
Taehyung looked so pretty like this. He wore simple clothes too, just a deep blue silk shirt and ripped jeans but he made it look so good. He'd done a little makeup too. His face glowed as light reflected off his highlighter, the pink tint on his lips made them look even rosy than they normally do and his cheeks looked red with a hint of blush.
"You look handsome my man, like you always do." Taehyung kissed his cheek.
"Here, wear this. It'll look good." He bent down to Jungkook's dressing table to grab a long silver, dangling earring.
He pushed it to Jungkook but raised his eyes in confusion when he saw a mischievous glint in Jungkook's eye and him folding his hands.
"You make me wear it."
"No Kook, I have to go put my shoes on and we're getting late."
"It's a party Tae, no one is late for a party. You reach at 12 and they'll say you're early. Just put it on please?" Jungkook widened his doe eyes and shifted his lips in a pout.
Taehyung sighed as he muttered a little 'annoying piece of shit' only to laugh along with Jungkook a second later.
"Since when did you start calling me Kook?" Jungkook chuckled at Taehyung's focused expression as he put the earring in Jungkook's ear.
"Heard the hyungs calling you that, I liked it. Sounds good." He patted Jungkook's shoulder once he was done, gesturing to the mirror so he could see if it looks good.
"Nice, do I look less boring now?"
Taehyung chuckled and rolled his eyes, "If you call this boring then you're calling my type boring."
"Really? Am I your type?" Jungkook pulls Taehyung in a back hug and faces the mirror. Taehyung continues to get ready, putting on a few earrings on himself.
"No, I'm dating you for the heck of it." He replied.
"So I am?"
"No shit sherlock."
"Okay, whatever." Jungkook kisses the side of his face as he goes to wear his shoes.
In the next ten minutes, they're out of the house and on their way to Hyunseok's party.
|8:30 p.m.|
"What would you have darling?"
"I'll just take a martini. You kook?"
"I'll have the same." Jungkook grumbled.
The bartender shot a judgemental look towards Jungkook before he smirked at Taehyung and looked away to make the drinks. Taehyung just smiled.
Jungkook pulled Taehyung's stool next to his so there was almost negligible distance between the two and rested his hand on Taehyung's shoulder.
"What're you doing Kookie?" Taehyung asked, trying to be a little quiet but he ended up screaming anyway. The music was too loud.
"The guy's giving you the look. He called you darling, you're my darling." He tightened his grip on Taehyung's shoulder.
Taehyung laughed at Jungkook. Obviously he had seen the flirtatious glint in the man's eye and had heard that tone in his voice but he just brushed it off. He wasn't naive, he just didn't care.
"That's his job babe." Taehyung chuckled.
"Well, he's flirting with you, I don't like it."
Taehyung softly smiled. He purposely leaned in and kissed Jungkook's ear as he said an 'I love you baby', loud enough for the bartender to hear when he had returned to give them their drinks.
He got the hint as he resumed servicing the other guests.
Taehyung's heart swelled on seeing Jungkook's possessive side. He liked the feeling. The feeling of being owned and wanted.
Jungkook whispered a little 'Thanks' that Taehyung couldn't hear beyond the earsplitting rock music but understood anyway.
The 7 boys had met outside Hyunseok's house and had then gone their own ways. Jimin was on the dance floor. Taehyung and Jungkook could see him from where they sat and laughed when they saw a guy come and grab his ass. Jimin had just pushed him away after throwing a few curses at him. Namjoon and Jin were probably in some corner, making out or something and Yoongi, well, he was probably sleeping. Yeah, sleeping. He hated parties, went there just for the sake of it. He would always find a corner and just scroll through his phone or take a little nap. He was what you would like to call the 'sober friend'. He rarely drank alcohol. He would be the one driving everyone home. And Hoseok, was right there.
"Tae, Kook." He called out for them.
"Hey Hobi Hyung! What's up." Taehyung asked before taking a sip of his martini and then wincing. He could never get used to the taste.
"This party is boring as fuck." Hoseok whined, sitting on a stool.
"It's actually quite happening. What if you are the boring one?" Jungkook teased.
"Shut up. I hate in here, don't you?"
"To be honest, yeah. The music is really fucking loud." Taehyung complained.
"Agreed. I rather be at the cafe and listen to like jazz or R&B."
Hoseok's eyes lit up at Jungkook's statement. Jungkook and Taehyung looked back at him with raised eyebrows. But without any verbal communication, they understood him and sighed.
"Jimin's gonna probably kill us." Taehyung said before gulping down his entire glass of Martini.
"What the hell babe?"
"You can't waste it now. C'mon chug it or let me have it."
Jungkook gave him an amused smile but ended up chugging down his drink in two sips too.
|30 minutes later|
"We're certified losers." Taehyung took a sip of his beer. The same one they had yesterday in the same cafe.
"Who the fuck's stupid idea was this?" Jimin fumed. He huffed as he walked across the cafe.
"Chim, it's no biggie. It's better here, calmer." Taehyung closed his eyes, listening to the low hums of jazz music.
"Well, no biggie for you. You've got a whole ass big boyfriend with you. Would've at least let me stayed there till 12. There was this hot, really hot guy and maybe he would've given me a New Year's kiss." Jimin finally plopped down on one of the sofas. He snatched Taehyung's beer and took a sip.
Taehyung just raised a brow at him.
"Y'all know where I found Namjoon and Jin Hyung?" Hoseok asked, a mischievous smile playing at his lips.
"Where?" Jungkook asked with a liitle smirk. They knew the answer already but they wanted to hear it anyway.
"Hoseok-" Jin scolded.
"Shush, they probably know it already."
"Well, they were at this corner, like a proper corner, hidden from everyone. Even the music there was super low and they were making out. I would've gone a couple of minutes later and you'd find them fucking." Hoseok laughed.
Namjoon and Jin just glared.
"Expected." Yoongi snorted.
"Yoongi hyung was watching cat videos man. At a fucking party. We have a cutie in our group." Jungkook cooed.
"Don't call me that kid."
"You are one." Taehyung inputted.
"Shut up." Yoongi said, but anyone with eyes could see that he loved it. Anyone who knew Yoongi as well as Bangtan did at least.
"So what now? We sit here and cry to sad music?" Jimin asked.
"You give me my beer back first." Taehyung grabbed his bottle back from Jimin and just smiled at him. Jimin rolled his eyes.
"The party was fire though." He mumbled.
"No." All six of them said in unison.
After a few minutes of scrolling on his phone, Jimin suddenly spoke up, "Guys! There's this fireworks show happening nearby. It's at 11:30 and it's free. It's on a rooftop. Next to it there's this super cool restaurant. Wanna go?" His eyes were sparkling, he knew the answer already.
"Heck yeah.", "Oh hell yes." and "Yup."s were heard as they all got up, ready to go.
"I'm so bored of this cafe food. Let's eat out." Hoseok said.
Jin glared at him, "You're an ungrateful brat." He smacked his head.
"Ow!" Hoseok whined but proceeded to laugh and hug Jin anyway.
"You better be thankful Park Jimin is your bestfriend or you would've been rotting in this place." Jimin was suddenly full of energy again as he happily walked to the car.
The others rolled their eyes and followed him.
|11:10 p.m.|
"Ah, we're early." Jimin smiled as he laid a blanket on the roof top.
They had 20 minutes before the show would begin. Around them were just a few couples and another group of friends. The 7 bestfriends proceeded to sit on the blanket. Some of them still had a beer in their hand.
The rooftop was a pretty good place chosen for fireworks. There was no dense vegetation that would block their view from seeing the celebration and because it was on a rooftop, people's heads would also not come in your way. There was a DJ there that played soft songs, mainly instrumentals. The chilly air and calming vibes didn't really suit heavy metal or fast beat music.
"Ahh, it's so cold." Taehyung shivered.
"You want a blanket love?" Jungkook asked.
Taehyung smiled as he nodded his head.
"Come here." Jungkook grabbed a blanket they had gotten from the cafe. He wrapped it around himself and then opened his arms wide so Taehyung could come sit between his legs. Taehyung happily smiled like a child as he rested his back against Jungkook's chest and leaned his head on Jungkook's shoulder. Jungkook wrapped the blanket and his arms around Taehyung.
"Feel warm?" He whispered as he kissed Taehyung's cheek.
"It's super comfy."
"Good." Jungkook rested his chin on Taehyung's shoulder.
"Gosh, get a room you two." Namjoon threw a piece of crumbled paper at Taehyung and Jungkook. It was the restaurant's bill.
"We aren't publicly fucking like you two did. We're just cuddling." Taehyung scooted back, pressing his body even firmer into Jungkook's chest. Jungkook just chuckled. The others except Namjoon and Jin of course, started rolling on the floor due to laughter.
Namjoon opened his mouth to speak but realized there was nothing he could say. He just shook his head.
Jimin turned from facing the sky to look at his friends, "So who's giving me my New Year's kiss?" He asked with a pout.
"No one. Ain't no one here gay for you." Yoongi replied.
"Meanie." Jimin pouted even more.
"Can't you like just kiss my cheek or something? My hand maybe? I dunno..."
"Kiss your own hand Chim, it's just as good." Hoseok replied.
The others laughed. Jimin just turned around to face the sky.
At 11:30 the show had begun, but, obviously they wouldn't be displaying fire crackers for 30 minutes. That was reserved for last the 5-7 minutes. Right now, there were live singing performances by a couple of people. Everyone present on the rooftop swayed to the lovely voice and vocals, it was a man and woman, they sung really well and harmonized really well too.
They sung for about 20 minutes after which they stopped and proceeded to get ready for the fire works show.
In the short 5 minutes break that the viewers had, they started chatting among themselves. Yoongi was swaying to the music that the DJ played, Jimin and Hoseok were having a conversation and so were Jin and Namjoon. That's when Taehyung heard a little whisper.
"Baby."
"Yes Kookie?" Taehyung whispered back.
"Before the fire works start and everyone gets all excited and everything I want to tell you something." He held Taehyung tighter and closer.
"Go ahead."
Jungkook glanced at his initials shining brightly and looking so gorgeous on Taehyung's honey skin. He felt his own pendant near his collarbone.
"I want to tell you what my New Year resolutions are, so you can keep me on track and see whether I'm following them or not."
"Okay, tell me baby." Taehyung whispered. Jungkook stopped swaying Taehyung who had his eyes closed and a little smile on his lips. He looked breathtaking like this, like he always does.
"I want to love you more and more every single day. I want to cherish every moment we spend together. I want to take care of you and make you feel loved. I want to make you stay happy and healthy. So we're not eating pancakes everyday."
Taehyung, who's heart started beating rapidly and blushed the second he heard Jungkook whispering his first resolution melted into giggles on listening to his last line. He shifted his head so he looked at Jungkook.
"You're perfect Jungkook. Perfect for me." He smiled. Jungkook was leaning in for a kiss when Taehyung whispered, "Wait." Jungkook looked at him with raised eyebrows.
He looked directly in Jungkook's eyes and spoke, "I promise the same to you. I'll love you and cherish you everyday too. I'll take care of you too. I'll make sure you're happy everyday too. I think you're pretty well versed with the healthy part, so you can take care of that." Jungkook laughed.
"I'll make sure we both stick to our resolutions. But, promise me you'll let me eat pancakes or waffles at least once a week?" He pouted.
"Promise Tae." Jungkook chuckled, immediately leaning in to kiss Taehyung. Then, they heard a loud boom and the crackling sound of fire works. They parted and looked up to see the beautiful multi-coloured sparks in the sky. It was truly beautiful and mesmerizing.
Time went by fast and they didn't even realize when there were only 10 seconds left for the New Year to begin. They heard the countdown.
"10"
"9"
"8"
"7"
"6"
"5"
"4"
"3"
"2"
"1"
"HAPPY NEW YEAR!" Everybody on the rooftop screamed. Jin and Namjoon kissed each other and Jimin, Hoseok and Yoongi went in for a three way hug. In the end, Yoongi and Hoseok ended up kissing each of Jimin's hand as he jumped in happiness.
Taehyung and Jungkook looked at each other and kissed each other too. Muttering a 'Happy New Year' once they parted. They went on to hug their bestfriends and returned in each other's arms.
"I love you Taehyung." Jungkook kissed Taehyung's head and rested his head on it.
"I love you too Jungkook." Taehyung mumbled in Jungkook's chest and pecked his neck.
