Taehyung's eyeslids felt heavy, he was fighting for keeping them open as he drifted slowly into sleep. He had to come to the studio at an early hour to fix the last issues for his future album. He had so much to do that he didn't have time to feel nervous or to realize how much his body was sore.
When he stepped outside he knew his legs would give up eventually. He prefered not to confirm this hypothesis and jumped onto the first bus dozing off at the moment he sat on.
He finally gave up and fell asleep. As the bus ran his head was following the movement, a sudden break made his head hit the window awoke him up. 'Fuck' he muttered brushing his hurt head. He slipped his hand into his pocket, reaching for his phone and sighted when he saw his phone had died.
'Sorry, may I have the time please ?' He asked to the man beside him, glancing up as he was taller.
'9:36 pm man'
'Thank you'
His stop came soon after and he jumped off, walking quickly to his flat. Still in a dozed mind, he mechanically pressed on the lift's button. Taehyung placed his hand on his mouth as he loudly yawned. He climbed onto the lift and rest his back closing his eyes again. Soon the bell rang signaling he reached his floor. The older stepped out but froze when he noticed someone was sitting at his front door.
'Jungkook ?' He rushed toward him, the sight of his friend was enough to power up his mind.
'Hey Taetae, seemed like you forgot' the younger laughed.
'I'm so sorry, I was so busy today and my phone died and..' He apologized hugging him, burrying his head onto the other torso.
'I know, don't worry, do you mind if we go inside ? I brought dinner' Jungkook giggled breaking the embrace as he finally showed up a plastic bag.
'You are an angel Kookie' He unlocked his door and started to take off his coat but Jungkook stopped him.
'Let me take care of you alright' he then took off both of their coat and lead Tae on the sofa, 'Rest, I'm gonna warm up a bit the food, wait for me.'
Taehyung nodded and plopped on the couch, eyes already closed and head resting against the soft cushion.
'Thank you' muttered Taehyung under a yawn but Jungkook managed to hear anyway and smiled for himself.
After a while, he entered again in the living room and settled the food onto the table in front of the couch.
'I'm tired too, it's so complicated with the new choreography. Anyway, Taetae food's ready' As no-one answered he turned his head and met with a sleepy Taehyung, mouth slightly opened where low snorings came out. Jungkook stared for a while at the peaceful face in front of him. Some hairlocks fell above his eyes, so he casually brushed them away, leaving his fingers a bit too long. His fingertips barely stroking his cheek to not waking him up. However Taehyung moved lightly, he was awaking up.
'mmmh' finally, Taehyung opened his eyes as Jungkook took away his hand like nothing happened, cheeks reddened.
'What time is it ?' asked him with a sleepy voice.
'You slept for a few minutes that's all, don't worry, eat Taetae'
'It smells nice' They rushed for their chopsticks and stuffed the most food into their mouths. Dinner time was silent except for the loud chewing and little talks.
'Alright I'm full, that's was delicious.' Tae exclaimed while putting everything onto the table and patting his stomach.
'Thaï food never disappoint us. Alright go to sleep Taetae, i'll do the dishes and be going' The younger stood up leading Taehyung holding his hand. He heard him laughing but followed him anyway. He turned the doorknob but stopped himself, embarrassed, why do I feel embarrassed it's just a bedroom Jungkook get yourshits together, he thought. He shrugged off and pushed Taehyung into the room and closed the door behind us.
'Pretty room, hyung' Jungkook told him mouth gaped.
' Thank you' He started undressing himself not minding the other presence. Jungkook still visiting. He let his fingers go onto the furnitures gazing at everything. Until he faced a drawer with picture frames set on it.
There were four people on one, probably Taehyung's parents and little brother. They seemed all happy, with big smiled on their faces. Jungkook turned around with the photo in his hand : 'You've never talked about your family before'
He faced an half naked man, eyes widened, 'Oh I'm sorry I didn't notice you were changing, I'm going bye' He put the frame back and rushed to the door, a blush on his cheeks.
'Wait kookie, I don't mind'
'I'll do the dishes goodbye Taetae' He waved and went in the kitchen.
Taehyung smirked, his plan was going slowly but surely. While he was getting ready to bed, he could heard the plates collided. He could not help but imagine what their life could be if the shy man was more than a friend. But no, he wasn't, Taehyung sighed before turning back to his room and jumped onto his bed, landed on his front, face in his pillow. He heard that the water had stopped running in the kitchen and his front door unlocked. But muffled steps could be heard and getting louder and louder as they were approaching his bedroom.
'Taetae ?' The door squeaked as it was opened.
'mhmh' He said into the pillow.
'What's wrong ?'
'mfmf'
He felt the bed sank a little as Jungkook sat. The younger put a hand on the other's back and shyly he rubbed it, for comfort.
'What's wrong ? Do you wanna talk about it ?'
'humph just nervous about the album I suppose' Taehyung had turned his head and looking up at the younger.
'Don't be, you work so hard it will be amazing Taetae' He grinned.
They stayed like that for a while staring at each other, lost in their thoughts, Jungkook never stopped rubbing. Taehyung could feel the nerves getting out gradually of his body. He even surprised himself leaning onto the touch.
'I'll be going then' muttered Jungkook but neither him or Taehyung moved.
What made Jungkook stood up was when Taehyung turned himself lying now on his back.
'Bye see ya'
'WAIT!' Taehyung grabbed his hand,
'could you stay with me tonight ? J-just, I'm really nervous for the mini-album and I would like you to listen to it before anyone else, you know.' He whispered with pleaded eyes.
'Of course Taetae, but let me sleep in your bed, my back is so sore I don't want to sleep on the couch again' as he said so, Taehyung's face lighted up. He glanced at his clock and noticed the time.
'Look it's almost midnight ! Grab some fresh clothes on the closet, I prepare the laptop ! I can't wait for your feedbacks' Said an excited Taehyung.
~~
Their back was resting on the headboard waiting for midnight to come.
Then Jungkook plugged the earbuds on, reassuring Taehyung with a smile. Taehyung clicked play and the beat invaded his ears.
His eyes closed right away and he made himself comfortable. Taehyung scanned the other's face barely blinking aware of any reaction but Jungkook only smiled during the 6 songs that was on the tracklist. Without noticing, Taehyung began to chew on his fingerstips nervously as many negatives thoughts spun in his mind.
'Wow Taehyung I'm impressed' The younger had removed the earbuds and was staring at his friend.
'You liked them ?'
'A lot ! Specially the fourth one, actually' Taehyung frowned and scratched his neck, looking down.
'Did I say someth...' Jungkook tilted his head with a question look.
'No it's just, you know the song I was struggling with a few months back ?' The younger nodded
'Well it was the fourth one...'
'See ? I was right, all you needed that time was some rest, and look ! It's the best one for me' He then lifted his thumbs up.
If only you knew what's this song is about, kookie thought Taehyung but smiled grateful that his friend liked his songs.
'Thank you a lot Kookie ! It means a lot' He leaned forward and managed to hug the younger tightly.
'My pleasure, you are a good musician. Your lyrics speak a lot at least for me, I can feel you had wrote them with your heart and soul. Then the beats are on point. Your first mini-album has a soul and I'm sure the following would be as well.'
Taehyung broke the hug and pecked softly Jungkook cheek before setting his laptop on the ground and turned off the light.
'Goodnight Kookie' He managed to say as the dreams land welcomed him for the third time today.
Jungkook was blushing as hell still sitting frozen because of the kiss.
He shyly smiled and laid down on the matress pulling the duvet above him.
