Taehyung stayed in the hospital for two more days and is now at home. He was a bit anxious as to why Jungkook didn't bother to see him after he confessed that he was falling for Mr. Post It...and it's already day three since that day.
He's now in his room fixing his wardrobe closet as he decided to auction out old clothes for a foundation he's involved in. As he was rummaging through his closet, he found a box at the corner and he got curious as he can't seem to remember putting one there.
I guess I made myself forget about this too. Taehyung thought...which is actually the reason why he did forget about the box in the first place.
He got it and took it back to his room and then opened it on his bed. He froze when he saw photos of him ang Hyung Sik and other stuff he believed was his ex-boyfriend's. He looked at the photos one by one and then he stopped when he saw a familiar image standing behind him and Hyung-Sik. It was a man dressed in all black with a mask on. Taehyung couldn't help but smile as he grabbed a pair of scissors from his bedside table and cut out his stalker's photo.
He then placed all the other stuff back, went outside his room and sat down in fromt of the fire place. He opened the box again and threw the contents of the box into the fire. As he was staring at the fire, Taehyung felt his heart beat race as he started to get flashbacks of the car accident. He crawled backwards away from the fire as he started to feel a slight headache building up. He felt his windpipes tighten and he began to hyperventilate.
"Ta-tae save him." He heard his mom's voice and Taehyung started screaming as he felt his head throb.
"Ahhhhhhh! Stop stop stop!!!!" Taehyung screamed. At that instant, his front door opened and someone came rushing to his side, engulfing Taehyung in his arms.
"Shhhh, Taeh, it's alright. I'm here now, just listen to my voice. It's going to be okay." The person said, panting as he ran from his house the moment he saw Taehyung sat in front of the fireplace.
Taehyung's breathing slowly normalized as he snuggled closer to the other's neck and hugged him.
"Jungkook." Taehyung mumbled as tears slowly travelled down his cheeks. "You came."
"I'm sorry love. I'm here now. I'm not going anywhere." Jungkook said as he placed Taehyung on his lap, the latter straddling him.
"Why didn't you come sooner?" Taehyung asked without looking at Jungkook.
"I had to do something. I'm sorry." Jungkook said as he kissed Taehyung's head.
Taehyung sat upright and looked at Jungkook. He raised his hand and touched the latter's hair to look at his right temple and there he saw a scar from when Hyung-sik threw a vase at him.
Taehyung smiled and before he could stop himself, he kissed the scar and immediately blushed, realizing what he had just done.
Jungkook smiled. "I guess I have no excuse now, huh?" He said.
Taehyung looked at Jungkook. "Were you at your gym before coming here?"
Jungkook was shocked at his question. "H-how did you know?"
"I saw your monitor there." Taehyung said.
"Huh? W-when? How?" Jungkook asked.
"The day you invited me for coffee."
"So that was why you were at the basement. But, how did you know my passcode?" Jungkook asked as he was playing around with Taehyung's hair.
"I guessed? Took me three tries. I can't believe you used the same code of my front door!!" Taehyung said as he playfully hit Jungkook's chest.
"Force of habit?" Jungkook said shyly.
"How many times have you come here while I was sleeping?" Taehyung asked.
"Not once! I wasn't that kind of a stalker!" Jungkook defensively said.
"Oh yeah? So what kind of stalker were you then?" Taehyung teased.
"The respectful kind?" Jungkook answered, making Taehyung laugh.
"I loved the post its. It was creepy...but sweet." Taehyung said.
"I had to find a way to get my message through as you can be so stubborn and oblivious sometimes." Jungkook said.
"Thank you for letting me know that Hyung-sik was cheating on me. I wouldn't have known." Taehyung said.
"In my defense, I didn't want to. That envelope was sitting on my table for the longest time until Jin hyung placed matters in his own hands." Jungkook said.
"What?! He was the one who sent it?" Taehyung said.
"I told you. I didn't want to meddle with your relationships. Especially when I could see you happy. I did want to send it so bad, but I stopped myself. But hyung couldn't take it anymore. I could still remember your reaction when you saw the photos and I was so mad at hyung and didn't talk to him for days." Jungkook explained.
"But, I'm glad that he did. I wouldn't have known. He was a sly asshole." Taehyung said and then he remembered something.
"What about that night with Kai?" Taehyung asked.
"What about it?"
"You brought me home."
"Yes, I did."
"I was kissing you."
"That wasn't you. That was the drugs in your system."
"You didn't kiss me back at all?"
"No, I wanted to but only when you're in your right mind."
"Well, I'm in my right mind now." Taehyung said as he looked at Jungkook's eyes.
Jungkook gulped. He couldn't believe that he has Taehyung this close to him. He's been wanting to kiss him for the longest time and it's about to happen.
He touched Taehyung's chin and moved closer when...
"Soulmie!!!" Jimin shouted as he entered fhe living room. "Oops!"
Taehyung and Jungkook sprang to their feet and looked at Jimin.
"Did I interrupt something?" Jimin asked, smirking.
"No" (Junglook) / "Yes" (Taehyung)
"Which one is it?" Jimin asked.
"I'll get going, Tae." Jungkook said.
"No. Stay. And you, what are you doing here?" Taehyung asked Jimin.
"Ouch. That hurt." Jimin playfully said. "Can't a worried best friend check on his soulmie who just came from the hospital?! I even brought you japchae for lunch!" Jimin said, pouting.
"Fine, let's go eat." Taehyung said as he took the paper bag of food from Jimin and then grabbed Jungkook's hand and dragged him to the dining area.
Taehyung asked Jungkook and Jimin to sit on the dining table as he went to get plates and utensils for the three of them. While Taehyung was in the kitchen, Jimin looked at Jungkook.
"So, I guess your secret's out in the open?" Jimin asked Jungkook.
"Yoongi hyung told you didn't he?" Jungkook asked back.
"Yeah, he did, just right after Jin hyung brought Taehyung to the hospital. But, I have to say that I was releived to find out that you are his stalker." Jimin said.
"Why is that?" Jungkook asked with furrowed brows.
"Well I was so worried because I sensed that he was already falling for his stalker." Jimin said and before Jungkook could respond, Taehyung jumped in the conversation.
"In my defense, he wasn't that kind of a stalker." Taehyung said as caught what Jimin said.
"Sure, whatever you say, bestie. I have nothing against it now anyway. I mean, who would've known that your stalker would be this hot billionaire gaming-magnate right?" Jimin teased as he looked at Jungkook.
Jungkook's face turned red as he looked down. Tarhyung noticed it.
"Stop it, Jimin. You're making him uncomfortable. Besides, I didn't love him for that." Taehyung said as he sat down beside Jungkook and placed a plate and utensils in front of him.
"Come on, love. Eat?" Taehyung said as he looked at Jungkook. The latter looked at him, wide-eyed.
"What did you just call me?"
"Love? That's what you call me anyway. Can't I do the same?" Taehyung innocently asked.
"Y-yeah, but don't just say things like that randomly. You almost made me faint." Jungkook said, making Taehyung laugh.
"HELLO!!! In case you two forgot, I'm here. I've no plans of third wheeling today." Jimin said.
"Then shoo!" Taehyung said.
Jimin glared at him. "You ungrateful brat."
"I'm just kidding, Chim. Sorry, I'll try not to be sweet and keep my hands off Jungkook while you're here." Taehyung said and Jungkook couldn't help but smile and cover his face as he felt his cheeks go hot again.
"Fair enough." Jimin said as he placed japchae on his plate.
Taehyung got some for himself also and gestured for Jungkook to get as well, so the latter did.
"Wait, I just remembered something. Did you put togther that video of Kai bullying people back in highschool?" Jimin asked.
Jungkook chuckled as he remembered the look on Kai's face as he got expelled from high school. He looked at Jimin and nodded proudly.
"I thought you started stalking me when I started working? But, that was back in highschool!" Taehyung said.
"I didn't stalk you, I stalked Kai. As you saw in the video, it was all him and the bullied students." Jungkook said.
"Which just happened to be me and two other nerds, right?" Taehyung said with an amused tone.
"Right." Jungkook smiled sheepishly.
"But you never even went to our highschool!" Jimin said.
"You don't have to be physically present to stalk, Jimin." Jungkook proudly said.
"So how did you do it? I'm really curious." Jimin said.
"Well, five of my game testers went to your school and I promised them a job at Jeon Entertainment." Jungkook said.
"Wait, how old were you then?" Taehyung asked.
"13. Jin hyung and I were already working on our business proposal then." Jungkook said.
"And did you really end up giving them jobs?" Jimin asked.
"Yes of course. Kang Taehyun, Choi Soobin and Choi Bomgyu are senior game developers now; Kim Minseo is now an Executive Producer and Namjoon hyung now leads our music label." Jungkook said.
"Namjoon? As in Kim Namjoon, Yoongi's cousin?" Jimin asked.
"Yeah, and also my hyung's boyfriend." Jungkook said.
"Wow. Such a small world, and I've to say you're something else Jeon Jungkook." Jimin said
"You never fail to amaze me." Taehyung said as he looked at Jungkook intently.
Jungkook looked back and flicked Taehyung's chin gently, "I find ways to keep you safe."
"Ok, that's it. I'm outta here before I barf out the japchae. You two are too sweet for my liking." Jimin said and the two just laughed.
"Bye soulmie." Taehyung said as Jimin said goodbye before walking out of the house.
"So..." Taehyung said, looking at Jungkook.
"So?" Jungkook asked, dumfounded.
"Are you going to kiss me now?" Taehyung asked.
"Oh, sorry. A bit slow on these things. I'm not used to being this close to you." Jungkook said.
"It's a good habit to start." Taehyung teased.
Jungkook moved his chair back and tapped his lap. Taehyung just looked at him confused.
"Let's continue where we left off." Jungkook said and Taehyung smiled, shook his head and went to sit on Jungkook's lap. He placed his hands on Jungkook's shoulders and stared at the younger's eyes.
"Look who's getting bolder by the day." Taehyung said.
"Well, I'm just following my doctors orders. He asked me to think about my trauma and find out new ways to live with it. For the longest time watching you from afar helped me with my PTSD. I just thought that maybe keeping you this close would be more helpful." Jungkook said.
"Were you in therapy for the past two days?" Taehyung asked.
"Yes. I wanted to get rid of the monsters in my head before I face you again." Jungkook said.
"So, how does it feel being close to me?" Taehyung asked as he started caressing Jungkook's neck with his thumbs.
"Calming and euphoric at the same time."
"So, I'm basically a downer and an upper at the same time, huh?"
"Which basically makes you the perfect cure." Jungkook said as he gently held on Taehyung's nape and pulled him down closer. Their lips connected and both of them sighed in content. The kiss was brief but full of warmth and love. They pulled away at the same time and simultaneously said,
"You taste like japchae."
They stared at each other and suddenly burst out laughing. They laughed so hard that both of them ended on the dining room floor holding their tummies and crying of laughter.
When the laughter died down, Jungkook stood up and scooped Taehyung from the floor and carried him bridal style. He walked towards the living room couch and sat down, placing Taehyung gently on his lap.
"Memorable first kiss huh?" Taehyung jokingly said.
"Yup, one for the books." Jungkook said as he touched Taehyung's lower lip with his thumb.
"It seems like you want more." Taehyung said as he looked at Jungkook's lips.
"And you don't?" Jungkook smirked.
"Of course I want more. More than kisses even." Taehyung said as he looked into Jungkook's eyes.
"Just a sec." Jungkook said as he pressed two buttons on his watch.
"What was that for?" Taehyung asked, with eyebrows raised.
"Turned off your CCTV and double locked your front door." Jungkook said, making Taehyung laugh. "Sorry, force of habit." He added before laying Taehyung on the couch. He moved in between the older's legs and hovered on top of him.
"I love you so much, Taehyung." Jungkook said.
"I love you too, Mr. Post It." Taehyung said in a deep raspy voice in Jungkook's ear before kissing the scar on Jungkook's temple once more.
Jungkook groaned as he started to feel hot. "I don't think I can control myself this time, love."
"I'm all yours, love. Do whatever you want with me." Taehyung said and with that, Jungkook pressed his lips on Taehyung and kissed him with all the love he's been keeping inside him for years.
