"No"

"It's a dare and you have-"

"No, Jungkook," Taehyung said as he gave Jungkook a slight push so that he continue walking back to the lodge. "As I said before, the kiss from last night was closure. No more kisses."

"Well, that was some shitty kiss," Jungkook said as he began to walk behind Taehyung.

Yeontan, being forgotten by his parents, tried his best to keep up with them on his little legs.

"I'm sorry you didn't like the kiss." Taehyung sarcastically replied.

Jungkook scoffed, annoyed. "Whatever, I still hate you."

"And I still hate myself too."

Jungkook rolled his eyes as the two walked back to the lodge- along with Yeontan- without saying another word.

A worried Jin was waiting for them outside once they had walked back.

Taehyung walked past Jin and headed inside to his room where he closed the door and fell onto his bed.

Meanwhile, Jungkook has embraced Jin and his worried friends before realizing that he forgot about Yeontan.

He looked down to find the little dog only to him laying on the ground, tired from all the walking.

Jungkook picked him and kissed Yeontan's head before heading inside.

Jungkook and Taehyung avoided each other for the rest of the night.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Taehyung excitedly jumped into the lake water before rising up to the surface. He hadn't realized that he had splashed some water at a shy Yoongi who was too shy to show his chest.

Taehyung laughed as Yoongi angrily splashed water on him with one hand while using his other hand to try covering up his chest.

"Hyung, we're all men here," Taehyung said.

"I don't care, just don't wet me. I already feel exposed without having a shirt on."

"Jimin doesn't," Taehyung smirked as he turned to look behind Yoongi. "He seems to be enjoying displaying his abs."

"W-what?" Yoongi turned around and literally almost drooled. "Park Jimin, what are you doing to me," Yoongi whispered under his breath as he stared at the younger's abs.

Jimin noticed Yoongi staring at him, so he splashed water on him, making the older snap out of his daze. "I noticed you staring, hyung," Jimin said after approaching Yoongi. "We can't let the others know about us, yet."

"Wait!" Taehyung whisper shouted. He got close to the two of them and then proceeded to whisper, "Are you guys dating now? Yoongi hyung, why didn't you tell me? And Jimin I thought we were best friends."

A bit annoyed, Yoongi splashed water onto Taehyung's face. "Taehyung, mind your business. Jimin and I are not ready to share what we have going on."

"Why are you so mean Yoongi hyung?" Taehyung muttered as he wiped his eyes from the water that was splashed on him. He looked around and saw Hoseok alone so he went to go join him instead.

"Hi hyung!" Taehyung said cheerfully.

"You're in a good mood," Hoseok noted. "Last night you were mad. Was it because of Jungkook?"

Taehyung sighed and turned to look at the said other. He watched as he talked with his friends and laughed as they splashed him with some water before turning to look back at Hoseok.

"Everything seems to be because of Jungkook these days." Taehyung quietly spoke.

Including my feelings for him.

"Woah, I didn't mean to drop your mood there. Forget I asked that, just enjoy yourself today." Hoseok said as he smiled at the younger.

The rest of the day everyone swam in the water enjoying the sun hitting their backs and everyone splashed water on to one another.

Jin got out of the water before everyone else because he was afraid of his skin getting wrinkled due to the long-time he had spent in the water. He would lay on the grass as the sun-dried his wet skin and once he would begin to feel hot he would get in the water again until his skin began to get wrinkly once again.

"Hyung you won't age fast just because you spent so much water in the water," Namjoon said as he laughed at Jin who was currently applying some anti-wrinkle lotion.

"No, you guys will age, but not Kim Seokjin because Kim Seokjin never ages." Jin continued to apply some more lotion until he was covered in a thick white layer of it.

"Hyung, what are you doing?" Jimin asked as he noticed what Jin was doing.

"Not aging, that's what," Jin replied as he set up his towel and laid on the grass again.

"But you will get a sunburn," Yoongi said as he was beside Jimin. "Oh wait, I think I already see a sunburn." He teased.

The two boys and Namjoon laughed as they watched Jin quickly applied some sunblock over his thick layer of anti-wrinkle lotion.

"BAMBAM COLLECT YOUR MAN!" Jungkook shouted at the top of his lungs, making everyone turn his attention- except for Jin because he was still applying on sunblock- towards the scene beforehand.

Yugyeom was currently holding Jungkook in a chokehold. "Admit or I'll dunk your head underwater." The younger threatened.

"Yugyeom, leave Jungkook alone, please," Bambam said with a sigh.

"Not until he admits it."

"Admits what?"

"That I am more muscled than him."

"I think the most muscled one here is Jungkook." Hoseok suddenly stepped in. "Have you not seen his abs? He's a muscled bunny."

"Yeah, but Jimin has abs too." Yoongi suddenly blurted out.

Everyone turned to look at Yoongi. Yoongi's cheeks turned red from embarrassment. "He doesn't have his shirt on and I saw his abs." The older tried to defend himself.

Jimin nudged Yoongi and the older turned to him. Jimin winked causing Yoongi's cheeks to turn a darker shade of red.

"You heard Yoongi," Jungkook said trying to break out of Yugyeom's hold.

"Babe, come on. Let go of Jungkook please." Bambam said. "I personally think you're very muscled and handsome."

Yugyeom reluctantly let go of the other. "This isn't over yet, you muscled bunny." He said as he splashed some water onto Jungkook.

Jungkook splashed some water in his direction as well and soon both boys began too engrossed with each other while Bambam just decided to let them.

By the time the sun started to set, everyone had started to get out of the water and sat on the grass with a towel wrapped around them.

Taehyung had already gotten out of the water and was currently drying his hair. He watched as Yugyeom and Bambam, two of the last people, come out from the water and began to dry themselves.

Jungkook was the last person to come out of the water. Taehyung watched as the sunset cast a beautiful glow on the younger's chest, water droplets dripping down his abs.

Taehyung literally drooled.

He quickly wiped it off with the towel he was using to dry his hair and turned to look somewhere.

Jungkook smirked. He had seen the other's reaction.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Just like they had planned, everyone was sitting around the bonfire in a circle, talking with one another, and cracking up jokes.

"Okay, I have a good one," Jin said. He started laughing before he could even tell his joke. "What do you call a pile of cats?"

"Yoongi!" Jimin exclaimed.

Yoongi turned his head to look at Jimin with a questionable expression. "You mean, hyung?"

"No... well yeah that too, but a pile of cats... it's called a Yoongi!" Jimin said excitedly.

"You think you're really funny, huh," Yoongi said as he gave his deadliest, yet softest glare at Jimin.

"Aww hyung, but you really are a cat," Jimin said as he reached out and wrapped his arms around Yoongi and rested his head on the older's shoulder.

Hoseok winked at Yoongi.

Taehyung smirked at Yoongi.

Both males knew exactly what was going on, especially Taehyung since he basically knew almost everything the two had done while on their vacation.

"No Jimin, it's a meow-tain." Jin laughed at his own joke and slapped his knee. "Ahh, that was a good one."

Nobody laughed. Except for Namjoon. Just a boyfriend supporting his boyfriend.

"I'm bored, hyung." Taehyung piped up, clearly unimpressed with the joke just as everyone else. "Can we play a game?"

"Let's play truth or dare!" Jimin said excitedly.

At the mention of truth or dare, both Taehyung's and Jungkook's widened and they looked at each other before quickly looking away.

"How original." Yoongi rolled his eyes.

Jimin ignored the older. "To make things interesting, the person can choose whether or not they wish do complete their truth or dare and if they don't wish to, they have to drink as much beer as the other person tells them to."

"Beer? Namjoon frowned. "You're brain isn't fully developed until you turn twenty-five and drinking beer before the age of twenty-five Can be bad. Half of us here aren't even twenty-five yet, only Jin hyung, Yoongi hyung and I are at least twenty five."

"Hyung, you have to be twenty-one to drink alcohol."

"But-"

"Namjoon I went out and bought beer yesterday, so it would be a waste of money and besides it's our last night here, let's get drunk before we have to get back to work in a few days."

Namjoon sighed, defeated. He couldn't say no to his boyfriend. "Alright, but I'm not going to be the one hungover tomorrow."

Jin quickly went inside to get the beer before coming back outside again with the alcohol.

"Okay, since I am the oldest here, but still looking strikingly handsome, I should go first," Jin said as he looked around the circle of friends. "Hmm... who should I call on," Jin's eyes landed on Hoseok.

Hoseok nervously swallowed.

"Yoongi!"

Hoseok let out a sigh of relief as Yoongi was called instead.

Yoongi sighed. "Truth,"

"Wow, you're so boring Yoongi. I was hoping you would pick dare, but I guess I can think of something." Jin pondered for a few moments until a wide smile spread across his face.

Yoongi remained unfazed. He just wanted his turn to be over.

"Who is the most handsome person here?" Jin asked.

Yoongi rolled his eyes. "That question is highly biased."

"How? It should be easy to answer." Jin said.

"Well, I have one answer, you have another answer, and I'm pretty sure everyone in this circle has a different answer so..."

"Just say Kim Seokjin," Jimin whispered to the older. "He'll leave you alone if you say his name."

Yoongi sighed. "The most handsome person here is... you hyung."

"Thanks, Yoongi," Jin said satisfied. It was the answer he wanted to hear. "Your turn to pick someone."

"Jungkook, truth or dare."

"Dare," the younger responded confidently.

"I dare you..." Yoongi pondered for a moment until he met Taehyung's eyes. He smirked. "I dare you to kiss Taehyung and it better be a real kiss not a peck or kiss on the cheek."

Both Taehyung's and Jungkook's faces turned red from embarrassment. Jungkook hesitantly stood up and slowly made his way to Taehyung. Jimin, who was beside Taehyung moved over so that there would be room for Jungkook.

Taehyung felt like digging a hole and burying himself as Jungkook stood in front of him with a nervous yet excited look.

Jungkook took the now empty space beside Taehyung and slowly reached his hand to Taehyung's cheek. Taehyung leaned his face into Jungkook's touch and his eyes. He shakingly took a deep breath as he prepared for the moment.

But Jungkook's lips never touched his.

Taehyung didn't feel Jungkook's hand on his face anymore, so he opened his eyes. The younger was looking down with a defeated look on his face. "I think I'll take the beer."

Yoongi handed Jungkook a beer, feeling a bit disappointed that the two didn't kiss.

Jungkook quickly opened the beer bottle and began to chug the whole thing down.

"Wait, I didn't tell you how much," Yoongi said as he watched Jungkook drink the whole thing.

Once he was done, Jungkook dropped the empty beer bottle before and turned to look at Taehyung. "Alright, pucker up."

"Jungkook what are you doing?" Yoongi asked but the younger ignored him.

Jungkook reached out and held the older's face again. Taehyung took another shaky breath and closed his eyes.

Jungkook connected their lips and kissed Taehyung with so much hunger. He was craving the older's lips.

Taehyung was unsure whether to kiss back or not but slowly moved his lips against the younger's. He didn't know why, but he missed Jungkook's lips.

Taehyung began to move his lips to match Jungkook's hungry lips. They had both missed each other's kisses. They also didn't know when they would kiss again or if they would kiss again, so they didn't want to throw this chance away.

"Um... when I specified that it had to be a real kiss... I wasn't expecting this." Yoongi said as the two slowly broke away from the kiss.

Jungkook gave one last peck before sinking back into his seat. In a daze, he reached out and lightly touched his lips.

Taehyung was no different. He couldn't believe he had kissed back and with so much hunger especially in front of everyone. He felt a wave of confidence surge through him.

"What the fuck was that?" Yoongi asked, shocked from the kiss just like everyone else.

Yugyeom and Bambam stared at Jungkook. They could not believe their best friend was that bold.

Jimin was shocked but had recovered quickly and smirked at the two.

Hoseok, Namjoon, and Jin stared with their mouths agape.

"I couldn't do the dare without feeling confident, so I drank the whole beer bottle down," Jungkook said.

"I think Jungkook and Taehyung have already won at this game and Taehyung hasn't even had a turn yet. The game just started!" Jin said still very shocked.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

After the kiss between Taehyung and Jungkook, everyone has decided to just enjoy the beer themselves, but they had enjoyed it too much and everyone was drunk.

Well, except for Namjoon and Taehyung.

Taehyung was still very shocked about the kiss earlier. He still felt a wave of confidence inside of him. He sat in his seat and watched the fire as his thoughts roamed his head.

Namjoon had gone inside with Jin to go to sleep and everyone else had followed.

Jungkook who was still beside Taehyung, laid his head on his shoulder, unaware of who it was. He looked up at the sky watching the stars while listening to the fire as it was dying down.

"This feels nice." He said.

"It really does."

Jungkook whipped his head up upon hearing a deep voice reply. Taehyung shyly smiled at him.

"I didn't mind." He said and motioned for the younger to lay on his shoulder again.

Jungkook laid his head on Taehyung shoulder and looked up at the night sky once again. He felt Taehyung reaching for his hand and intertwined their hands. Jungkook let him simply because he was drunk at the moment and wasn't aware of what was happening.

"Jungkook, I love you," Taehyung confessed. "And I'm sorry for hurting you. I thought I would be doing you a favor by staying away from you. I thought you'd eventually forget your feelings for me because I was too scared to love you back, but I ended up hurting you more and myself."

Jungkook frowned. "Why were you afraid to love me back."

Taehyung dryly chuckled. "Would you believe me if I told you that I was afraid of loving a guy? I tried convincing myself that my feelings for you would eventually go away, by acting mean towards you, but once we started those dares, they only grew stronger, the urge to just hug you, hold your hand, to hold you, to call you mine and to kiss you... it all grew stronger, especially kissing you. You always had such a cute face and I wanted to kiss you."

"Do I have a cute face now?" Jungkook quietly asked.

Taehyung looked down at the other and smiled before nodding. "Yeah, you do."

"Do you also want to kiss me?"

"I really want to kiss you."

"Okay," Jungkook said as he sat up, removing his head off Taehyung's shoulder and turning to him. He gently placed a hand on the older's cheek and whispered, "I really want to kiss you too."

In a swift moment, Taehyung connected their lips, slowly kissing the younger. Jungkook kissed back, smiling into the kiss causing Taehyung to smile into the kiss as well.

The kiss from earlier played in their heads and Taehyung couldn't help but kiss the younger with the same passion once again. He nibbled on the younger's lip asking for an entrance to which Jungkook gladly opened his mouth. The younger felt Taehyung's hot wet tongue exploring every inch of his mouth.

The two kissed passionately for a few more minutes until they broke away from the kiss to take a few breaths of air before connecting their lips once again.

Taehyung cupped both sides of Jungkook's face as the younger kissed back eagerly.

Jungkook reached out and tugged on Taehyung's shirt. Taking the hint, the two broke away from the kiss again. Taehyung let Jungkook take off his shirt before connecting their lips once again.

Jungkook's hands roamed every inch of Taehyung's chest, his thumbs slightly brushing over the older's nipples causing the older to shiver from the touch.

"Let's continue this inside," Taehyung said as he broke away from their kiss once again. He picked up his shirt and held Jungkook's hand as they made their way back to the lodge.

Everyone was sprawled out in the living room sleeping, Namjoon and Jin cuddling, Yoongi spooning Jimin, Yugyeom resting his head on Bambam's shoulder, and Hoseok was laying comfortably with a blanket over him.

The two made sure to be quiet and once they reached the closest room, which was Taehyung's and Hoseok, the older opened the door and threw his shirt inside before pulling Jungkook in the room with him and closed the door. He made sure to lock it.

"Taehyung," Jungkook whined as he reached out and pushed Taehyung against the wall. The older let him and just watched as Jungkook approached him. Taehyung rested just head against the door as Jungkook gave him a light and gentle kiss on his neck before he began nibbling behind his ear. Taehyung turned his head to the side, wanting the younger to mark him.

Taehyung moaned as Jungkook sucked on his neck.

Should I let Jungkook do this to me? He's drunk, doesn't know what he's doing?

But Jungkook knew exactly how to satisfy Taehyung even in his drunk state of mind, so Taehyung just let him.

Jungkook wrapped his arms around Taehyung's and gently kissed him again because the two couldn't get enough of each other.

Taehyung moaned into Jungkook's mouth as he felt the younger's crotch rub against his.

This only turned Jungkook on even more, so he broke away from the kiss to quickly remove his clothing and then proceeding to help Taehyung remove his as well.

Taehyung smiled as he looked at Jungkook's doe eyes. He pulled the younger towards him and lightly pecked his lips. "I love you Jungkook." He repeated for the second time.

Jungkook smiled before he wrapped his arms around Taehyung again and let himself get picked up and carried to the bed.

The two shared more sweet and gentle kisses throughout the night as Taehyung showed Jungkook how much he loved him.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I decided to not include any details of what Taehyung did because Jungkook wasn't aware of what was happening. He gave consent while he was drunk, but it isn't the same when you give someone consent while being sober. You shouldn't be taking advantage of people, so that's just a little heads up for the next chapter.

I'm also not sure when the next update will be my depression and anxiety come and go as they please and my OCD is no better it gets really bad sometimes, but hopefully, the next update will be soon.

In the mean time go check out my other Taekook book, Loved
