"I know Chim. I forgot, okay? I'm sorry."

Taehyung stood in front of his mirror, trying on some clothes. He's been finding the perfect outfit for his date with Jungkook.

He knows he shouldn't be too excited because they're just going to watch movies in his house, but he couldn't help it.

Being with Jungkook anywhere it might be brings joy and excitement to his heart. Just the fact that he asks him for a date anywhere he wants, makes Taehyung beam.

"You promised you'll spend time with us today."

Jimin's voice came again from the other line, sounding like he's sulking or something.

Taehyung dropped his shirt on his bed, coming in front of his phone to see his friend's face. They're in facetime for a long while now with Jimin's unending whines.

Turned out, Taehyung forgot he promised Jimin and Jin that they'll hang out today since it's Sunday.

"I'm so sorry, Chim. Something came up, sorry." He said, feeling guilty.

He hasn't told his friends about him and Jungkook yet. It feels like it's not yet the right time to share it to anyone. He wants them to be private, for now.

Jimin's face turned into a scowl." But you promised." He pouted, tugging into Taehyung's conscience even more.

Any moment now, Jungkook will arrive and he hadn't gotten himself ready yet.

"I'll make it up to you, okay?" He muttered in an apologetic voice.

"Fine. You'll be treating us for being such an ass." Jimin said, finally smiling now.

"I will." Taehyung responded. He heard the sound of Jungkook's car arriving, making him panic, eyes wide in horror.

"Who's that?" Jimin asked, eyes focused on the door.

Footsteps were heard and Taehyung panicked even more.

"Okay. I'll call you later. Bye." He hurriedly clicked the end call, just in the knick of time when Jungkook's voice echoed inside his house.

"Hey baby, you in there?"

The door to Taehyung's room opened, revealing Jungkook in his usual godlike appearance, rocking a plain white shirt and jeans.

The brunet gulped, clutching his phone in hand. "You're early." He said, eyes turning wide when he noticed the pile of clothes on top of his bed.

Before Jungkook could even notice it, Taehyung is already pushing him out of the room.

"Um. Wait for me there." He uttered, cheeks tinted red from embarrassment. He couldn't let Jungkook see that he's so hooked up into finding the right clothes for the day like a teenager.

The ravenette looked at him in amusement before taking a seat on the couch.

In one quick motion, Taehyung went back to his room, stuffed all his clothes in his cabinet, and picked the shirt he's been eyeing earlier.

A brief 5 minutes and Taehyung is done. He checked himself in the mirror before deciding to go out. He saw Jungkook resting his head on the couch.

"Let's go." He mumbled, stirring Jungkook.

There's a grin on Jungkook's face when he stared at Taehyung, eyes checking him out deliberately.

"What?" Taehyung asked.

The ravenette just shakes his head before standing. "Nothing. You just look perfect in anything." He mumbled, walking for the door, leaving Taehyung with his blush creeping on his cheeks.

The ride going to Jungkook's house is calming, with his hand intertwined with his own, soothing music on the radio, and the cold wind gushing in their faces.

Turned out, Jungkook is taking him to his private villa in the most exclusive vacation place just an hour away from the city.

Jungkook had put down the roof of his 2019 Audi R8 Spyder, giving them the touch of the bright sun on their skin and the refreshing hit of the wind in their faces.

Taehyung breathed in the beautiful landscape that awaits him, his eyes gleaming as he stares at the vast sea in the other side of the road.

"This is beautiful, Jungkook." Taehyung said in amazement. He lifted his hand, letting the air hit it as if he's flying.

Jungkook smiled at him, loving the gleam in his eyes and the bright smile in his lips.

"Wait till we get there." Jungkook grinned, taking Taehyung's hand near his lips and kissing it with affection.

They've reached the villa in no time. Taehyung was lost for words when he saw how huge the place is, with an even amazing view on its side.

It's the perfect vacation house to unwind and find peace away from the toxins in the city.

The brunet hurriedly went upstairs, excitedly going to the veranda, overlooking the blue sea.

"Wow."

Taehyung lets himself get drowned with the beauty in front of him, his mouth gaping wide.

He felt Jungkook's hands wrap around his waist, hugging him from the back. He settled his chin on his shoulder, embracing him so tight.

"It's beautiful, isn't it?" Jungkook whispered to his ear.

Taehyung smiled even more. "It is. This is perfect, Jungkook." He murmured under his breath. He loosened Jungkook's arm on him so he could turn around and face him.

"It's even perfect because I'm here with you." He whispered, kissing Jungkook in a soft passionate way that speaks of how happy he felt.

They stared at each other, smiling like a love sick fool as if nothing else matters as long as they are in each other's arms.

For the whole day, the lovers roamed around the villa, tried the different cuisine made by the resident chef, before deciding to just lock themselves inside one of the rooms in the second floor.

"Do you always come here?" Taehyung asked, dangerously throwing his body on the bed next to Jungkook.

The ravenette immediately wrapped his arms around him. "No. This is the first time I come here for years." He muttered in a soft voice.

Taehyung sat up, head resting on his hand. "Why is that? Too busy from work?"

The ravenette sighed, pulling him until his head is resting on his chest. Taehyung could hear the loud beating of his heart, his calm breathing, and honestly, it's like he's being pulled in a satisfying sleep.

"That.. and a lot of things." Jungkook murmured, his hand caressing his brunet locks.

"What are those other things?" Taehyung asked, his eyes slowly turning sleepy.

Everything in this place is calming, like he's being drawn to slumber. He felt refreshed, and it's even amazing with Jungkook's warmth against him.

He felt Jungkook heave a deep sigh, hesitating and unsure. "We used to stay here when we're still....complete." He whispered the last word, so low that Taehyung almost hadn't caught that one up.

"Mmm.." Taehyung hummed, he lifted his head to look at Jungkook after hearing the pain in his voice.

Another deep sigh left his lips, smiling at the brunet in a forced manner. "This used to be our family's vacation house." He muttered before adding, "Now, it's just an empty house with no family to live in it."

Taehyung nuzzled his head in the crook of Jungkook's neck, trying to hide the pain in his eyes. He could feel the hurt in his voice, and Taehyung's not dumb not to realize why.

Even though Jungkook doesn't tell him anything about his family other than his father cheated on his mom, Taehyung could put the pieces together.

He knows how hard it is to have a happy family and then one moment, everything just crumbles down.

"But with you here..." Jungkook mumbled, taking Taehyung away from his train of thoughts. His hand resting at the back of Taehyung's head as he continues, "it feels like home all over again."

A long but calming silence filled the room. Taehyung felt his heart swell at those words. It took him all his courage not to cry. He just pressed himself more to Jungkook, satisfied by the warmth in his arms.

They stayed like that for a while, no words were uttered, only the loud beating of their hearts.
