Jin's gaze remained fixed on the man seated across from him, his attention drawn to the sight of rolled-up sleeves that revealed the well-defined muscles of his arms. The veins, visibly protruding beneath the skin, added strength and vitality to his appearance.
As the man diligently went about his work, Jin was captivated by vivid thoughts and sensations, prompting him to take a deep breath, fully immersing himself in the moment.
Feeling a strong need for a distraction from his thoughts, he turned his gaze towards the plane window. The sight that met his eyes only deepened his wonder at his impulsive choice to join Jungkook on his trip to Alaska.
He had firmly convinced himself that the upcoming trip to Alaska would be free of any noteworthy incidents. It was an opportunity for him to embark on a unique adventure and explore the scenic wonders of Alaska, particularly after learning about Jungkook's hectic schedule. He knew he would have ample time to enjoy solitude and freely explore without any interference from Jungkook.
Upon learning that Jimin's mistake was the reason behind Jungkook's decision to travel to Alaska, he felt an increased sense of responsibility to accompany him. Even though Jimin did not explicitly ask for it, the decision was made by him independently. Additionally, he knew how stressful the recent changes that had happened in Jimin's life had been for him, and he wanted to prevent him from experiencing any additional stress.
"Seokjin, you do not need to remain seated here and observe me while I work. You can enter the room and find a comfortable spot to lie down and rest by taking a nap. I will wake you up as soon as we reach our destination." Jungkook, with his eyes shifting away from his laptop screen, directed his gaze towards Jin, his attention fully captured by the latter's presence.
Jin immediately rolled his eyes at his words, "Thanks, but I'm sitting here because I'm enjoying the view-"
"I appreciate your kind words and recognition of my physical appearance. It is gratifying to know that you perceive me as handsome. However, it appears that there are noticeable bags under your eyes that require attention and care.
During our trip, you will have ample opportunity to appreciate and admire all the qualities, talents, and experiences I possess and can bring to the table.
I am stationary and have no plans or intentions to move from my current location." Jungkook said as he casually adjusted his attire by unbuttoning a few buttons on his dress shirt. This action allowed a glimpse of his well-defined chest, adding a touch of attractiveness to his appearance.
Jin, visibly annoyed, unfastened his seatbelt and rose to his feet. He fixed a piercing gaze on Jungkook to let out his frustration, "One thing that is undeniably true about you, regardless of your physical appeal, is that it all diminishes once you speak.
You don't even have the ability to keep someone turned on. I now understand why you are wealthy, handsome, and still single. It is highly unlikely that anyone with sound judgment would choose to be with you unless they have ulterior motives and wish to exploit what little you have to offer.
Even in that scenario, they would still deserve recognition for enduring the challenges of being in a relationship with you."
Without waiting for a response from Jungkook, Jin quickly moved towards the rear of the plane. Seeking peace, he retreated to the confines of the room. After his recent interaction with Jungkook, a wave of regret washed over him for agreeing to join Jungkook on the trip.
"Such a rude fucking asshole!" Jin's frustration was evident as he let out a curse under his breath, his eyes scanning the bedroom within the confines of the plane.
"What was I thinking?" He questioned himself, still concerned about how he could have considered going on a trip across the world with Jungkook as a smart decision. He was already annoyed by the man's rudeness even before they reached Alaska.
Just as he was lost in his thoughts, the peaceful atmosphere of the room was abruptly shattered by the sound of the door swinging open. Without even needing to glance in the direction of the disturbance, he instinctively knew the identity of the unwelcome visitor. Feeling frustrated and concerned, he couldn't help but release a deep, weighty sigh. His mind became consumed with thoughts of whether or not there were any parachutes within his reach.
"Seokjin, I find it difficult to respect your tendency to make certain statements without providing factual evidence."
Jin, feeling exasperated, responded to Jungkook's words by rolling his eyes and emitting a deep sigh, "What is your problem now? Didn't you send me to sleep to take care of the bags under my eyes? How am I supposed to do that with your neverending disturbance?"
"You mentioned that I lack knowledge of maintaining someone's arousal. I'm curious to understand how you came to this conclusion. Could you please provide more details or examples to support your claim?
Throughout our relationship, there has never been a moment of intimacy between you and me. You lack the knowledge or understanding of my capabilities and limitations. I want to clarify that I would never make a statement like the one you mentioned without having substantial evidence to support my perspective."
Jin turned to face Jungkook and chuckled, saying, "I already have enough evidence; I don't need any more. You can attract someone without speaking, even from a distance. However, you can easily turn them off by just opening your mouth. With that, I am standing by my previous statement. If you don't like it, I suggest adjusting your attitude and stop expressing your unwanted opinions to others.
I was sitting out there minding my own business, didn't once bother you-"
Jungkook, in cutting Jin off, said, "I respectfully disagree with your statement as it seems biased and lacks validity. Your emotional interpretation of your beliefs appears to influence your perspective.
I didn't think I said anything wrong when I was being a gentleman and suggesting you sleep. Also, I previously informed you that I was not interested in participating in this trip for various reasons. I have a huge workload that demands my complete focus and commitment.
I attempted to accomplish some tasks, but it is proving challenging with you sitting directly across from me. Your behavior of biting your lip and intensely staring at me, Seokjin, was quite distracting."
Jin averted his gaze, his eyes darting around the room, avoiding Jungkook's gaze. "I wasn't biting my lip and staring at you," he mumbled.
Jungkook, with determined steps, approached the spot where Jin stood. As he reached him, he gently grasped Jin's hand, intertwining their fingers. With his free hand, he gently guided Jin's face towards his, ensuring their eyes met. "We are both adults," he said.
"I know I am attractive, and I also think that you are equally attractive. It's understandable for you to feel some desire toward me. It would be questionable if you didn't. Seokjin, I have told you this before: I am attracted to you-"
Jungkook's words were abruptly silenced when Jin leaned forward, closing the distance between them, and pressed his lips against Jungkook's. Initially, Jin had intended the kiss to quiet Jungkook and release the pent-up frustration that had been building within him. However, to his surprise, the kiss quickly escalated into a passionate exchange that surpassed all expectations.
Jungkook found himself unable to resist the captivating allure of Jin's lips, succumbing to his desires. He eagerly responded, their lips melding together as he instinctively wrapped his arms around Jin, pulling him closer.
Their tongues intertwined in a passionate tango, their hands exploring every inch of their electrified bodies, igniting a fire that consumed them. The kiss deepened, fueled by an insatiable hunger, growing stronger with each passing moment.
As Jungkook moved forward, with his arms possessively wrapped around Jin's waist, Jin's legs collided with the bed, causing him to gracefully fall onto his back, his heart pounding with anticipation. As Jungkook loomed above him, his lips parted from their kiss, and his gaze pierced into Jin's soul.
"We should stop. I would prefer that our first experience together does not take place while we are on an airplane." After saying this, Jungkook leaned in towards Jin, his lips barely touching Jin's forehead, as he planted a tender kiss. After a brief moment, he slowly moved back, creating a small distance between them as he leaned against the room wall.
Jin was in disbelief as he stared at him, but the moment between them somehow left him speechless as he sought to figure out his emotions.
"Furthermore, as you make an effort to rest, I kindly request that you take a moment to reflect upon the remarks you made regarding my perceived inability to keep someone aroused, particularly concerning yourself," Jungkook said as he skillfully unbuttoned his shirt, revealing his toned frame. With a determined expression, he smoothly shrugged off the shirt, showcasing his impressive strength and athleticism.
When Jin didn't respond to him, Jungkook, with a smile on his face, politely expressed his intention, saying, "If it's alright with you, I would like to take a shower. I won't cause much distraction as you attempt to sleep. However, taking a shower will help me regain focus to complete the work that needs to be done effectively."
As he casually approached the bathroom, he unfastened the buckle of his pants. However, just before Jin could glimpse anything further, he swiftly closed the door, ensuring his privacy.
"Wow, he is such a jerk!" Jin let out a deep, audible groan, expressing his frustration and inner turmoil. He shifted his body, deliberately turning onto his stomach as if physically trying to distance himself from the overwhelming thoughts plaguing his mind.
*****
Feeling a slight chill in the air, Jin carefully wrapped the jacket around his body, ensuring that every part was snug and secure. He walked closely behind Jungkook, his footsteps echoing softly in the hotel's hallway, which served as a pathway to their respective rooms.
He had heard numerous accounts and anecdotes about the notoriously frigid weather conditions in Alaska, yet he had not anticipated the extreme coldness he was experiencing.
As soon as the plane touched down, he was immediately struck by an intense and unexpected wave of temperature that enveloped him, leaving him utterly unprepared for the extreme conditions. He longed for a comforting bath that would provide warmth and relaxation.
His thoughts abruptly ceased as Jungkook halted his steps, reaching for a key to unlock a nearby door. He held the door open with a considerate gesture, allowing Jin to enter.
As Jin stepped into the hotel suite, he took a moment to observe his surroundings. The room he entered had an open layout with a kitchenette on one side. It had modern appliances and neatly organized plates on the island's countertop. Adjacent to the kitchenette was a cozy dining area with a stylish table and seemingly comfortable chairs.
His gaze shifted towards the living room area, seamlessly flowing from the dining space. The living room was simple yet elegant, featuring a plush sofa, a coffee table, and a sleek entertainment center. Jin noticed that the living room had large windows that showed a balcony just beyond, but he had no immediate plans to venture outside.
"Is there a designated room assigned to me, or do I have the freedom to choose any available room," Jin asked, his mind vividly replaying the memories of the previous unfortunate trip he had embarked on with Jungkook.
"There is no need to choose as there is only one room," Jungkook responded as he carefully examined the name tags attached to their bags, which had been thoughtfully delivered to their room before their arrival.
The unexpected response took aback Jin, his surprise evident as he raised an eyebrow in disbelief. "We are sharing a room?"
"Yes, Seokjin, we will be sharing a room. Initially, I planned for us to have separate rooms during our stay; however, after considering recent developments and the growing likelihood of us becoming intimate while here, I have concluded that it would be more advantageous for us to share a room rather than have separate accommodations.
However, if my thoughts on this matter are incorrect and if they make you feel uneasy, please do not hesitate to inform me." Jungkook confidently approached Jin, maintaining unwavering eye contact as he spoke.
