Jeongguk went home late that night. After his talk with Namjoon, he said he needed a drink so they went to a nearby bar they often went to and didn't have to worry about telling them that they didn't serve alcohol to minors. The guy who was working there was understanding and allowed them to drink some beers, but of course, he always kept an eye on them.

After that, he took the last bus and arrived home around one. He dropped his body into the bed and didn't even realize when he drifted off to sleep.

But the next morning, he didn't hear his alarm because he hadn't set any. He completely forgot about it and Mirae couldn't wake him since she had to leave early for work.

Taehyung stopped by his house to give him a ride to school, even though Jeongguk didn't call him nor texted him at all last night. He still wanted to see him and give him a ride. He rang the doorbell since it was kind of late and the younger hadn't come out yet, but he didn't get an answer. So he took out his phone and called him.

"Mmm?"

"Jeongguk? Don't tell me you're still sleeping."

His eyes split open at the words he strove to process, a sleepy frown of utter confusion adorning his face. But the confusion soon altered to panic upon glancing at the time. "Fuck!"

"I'll wait for you," Taehyung muttered with a sigh.

"You're gonna be late. Just, um, just go to school. I won't be on time for the first class, anyway."

"Are you sure?"

"Yeah, don't worry."

"Okay, we'll talk later."

. . .

This is not a good day. Jeongguk entered through the school gates and scuttled to his class with Taehyung, which would start in two minutes.

"Where were you?" Jimin asked.

"Um, I fell asleep."

"Namjoon said you guys had a good time yesterday," Seokjin commented.

"Yeah, it was nice."

"So are you gonna talk to us about whatever you guys talked about or what?" Yoongi asked.

"Well, not here."

"Tonight then?" Namjoon suggested, smiling.

"Good morning, class," Taehyung greeted as he walked into the classroom.

Jeongguk twisted his head to glimpse at him. "Maybe tomorrow. I have something to talk about with someone else first." A delicate smile made its way to his lips as he gazed at the older. He found it extremely hard to take his eyes off him at times.

Jeongguk anxiously waited for Taehyung to appear after their classes. He had a little trouble finding his car because he had parked a little further away from school, probably because he wanted to avoid sudden encounters with other teachers and students.

The suffocating tension pressing down on his heart amplified when he spotted Taehyung shuffling towards him. "Hey." Jeongguk smiled in an attempt to secrete his awkwardness.

"Hi."

Sadness crossed his face at his blunt greeting. He would usually smile at him and initiate some small talk, but he did neither. He chewed on his lower lip to literally bite back his pout and slid into the car. "Are you okay?"

"Not really."

Jeongguk didn't say anything else for the rest of the ride. He laid his hand on his nape and kept it there, caressing his soft skin until they reached their destination.

"Do you wanna come in?" he asked with a faint smile and got a mild nod in response. Again in taut silence, they got out of the car and trod to the door. "Coffee?"

"Maybe later."

Jeongguk's chest deflated with a quiet sigh, his gloomy eyes studying him as they perched on the couch. He hated seeing the older like this. Concerned, sad, uneasy. He ventured to grab his hand and intertwine their fingers as he turned his body to face him. "You're sad," he stated in a whisper. He drew a soft kiss on his cheek and then rested his forehead against his shoulder.

Taehyung sighed, his fingers creeping up his back to stroke his nape, and he leaned his head against him.

"I don't know for what to say sorry first."

"There's only one apology you owe me and only for one thing." Taehyung withdrew enough to cup his cheeks, peering into him.

The expression on his face was unreadable to Jeongguk. He could only discern fractions of sadness darkening his eyes that pricked his heart more. "For what?"

"For thinking that I'm fucking other people when I'm with you."

"When you're with me?" he questioned with a trembling voice, startled.

"Aren't we together?"

"We are?" he asked, eyes still wide and heart thumping so loudly Taehyung could almost hear it.

"Jeongguk, what the fuck did you think?" he snapped at him; the softness from his face and words vanished in seconds, causing the other to inch away. "What were we doing for so long? We were just fucking? That's what you thought? I have said so many things, I've told you so many times how perfect you are, how much I like you, the fact that you make me feel things, and you thought that we were just fucking? That's what it was to you?"

Silence. The only thing Jeongguk could do was listen to him while he clasped his hands and kept his gaze glued to the floor.

"I feel things for a seventeen-year-old guy, a guy for the first time in my whole life, and he thinks that I'm sleeping with him for fun? A seventeen-year-old guy, who is my student too, and he thinks that it's just because I wanna have some fun? This is making me seriously so fucking mad. How could you think that after everything I've said and after seeing how fucking attached I am to you? How could you even—"

Lips were smashed desperately against his mouth, swallowing his fierce outbreak, and hands clutched his sweater. "Please stop," Jeongguk choked out, tears leaking out of his closed eyes. He climbed over him, his knees digging into the couch on each of Taehyung's sides, and grasped his nape to pull him into another fiery kiss.

Taehyung responded in an instant and raised his hands to hold his face, but hot tears dampened his fingers, something that brought tension to his muscles and led him to break the kiss. Jeongguk resisted with all his might, not wanting Taehyung to see him cry again, but Taehyung didn't yield either. "Kook, you're crying."

Jeongguk claimed his lips again, more tears pouring down his cheeks. He sneaked his hands beneath his sweater and let them wander his body as he ground against him.

"Jeongguk. Hey—"

"Can you—" He cleared his throat as his voice came out hoarse and shaky. "Just this once... don't say anything and just... take me upstairs."

Taehyung swiped tender thumbs over his wet cheeks and pecked his lips. He took him in his arms and carried him to the bedroom as Jeongguk so desperately requested.

He laid him in the bed as gently as possible and gave him sweet kisses on his forehead, cheeks, and his desirable lips. Their tongues brushed against each other at a slow pace, savoring every moment.

Taehyung pulled away only to take his shirt off, and the younger found the opportunity to do the same. He leaned closer again and paused for a stretch, gazing at him with eyes filled with tenderness as he caressed his cheek with a knuckle. "You're so beautiful, Jeongguk," he said in a heart-melting tone and trailed loving kisses from his cheek to his neck.

Taehyung's one hand roamed on his body and the other tugged at his hair lightly as he bit and sucked his sensitive skin. He felt tremoring hands grasp his hips, as Jeongguk rubbed their crotches together.

Taehyung peppered delicate kisses on his skin as he shifted to his nipple and took it in his mouth. He licked and swirled his tongue around it as he rubbed the other, making Jeongguk throw his head back at the pleasurable feeling. After spending some time getting the buds hard and wet, he moved further down and removed his sweatpants and boxers with such affection it left Jeongguk in amazement.

Jeongguk moaned as smooth, long fingers curled around his dripping cock and pushed his head deeper into the pillow. But he perked it up just as fast when he felt something warm and wet trace his length. He spectated in depth and awe as Taehyung licked a thick line on his cock and twirled his tongue around the tip before he eased half into his mouth. "Tae—ah—h-hyung," he cried out at the warm, tingly feeling.

Being more at ease now since it was his first time, Taehyung started bobbing his head a notch faster as he toyed with his balls with one hand and teased his hole with a finger, using as lube his saliva.

Jeongguk whimpered in pure rapture. The feeling of his cock being devoured ever so heavenly as his hole was filled with Taehyung's long fingers was truly ecstatic.

Taehyung thrust his two fingers inside him fast and drew back to catch his breath. "Is it okay?" he asked with a low, husky voice as he continued stretching him open.

"It's amazing, hyung—ah—you're amazing," he breathed out as he tilted his head back, moans flying off his mouth.

Taehyung sighed in relief mentally and added the third finger as he deepthroated him, making Jeongguk cry out from pleasure. He was close, and he didn't want to cum inside his mouth since it was his first time, so he grabbed his head and slowly pulled it back.

"What's wrong?" Taehyung asked through his uneven breathing.

"I'm close. I can't hold it."

Taehyung dragged his tongue over his balls to the tip and retracted his fingers. He fetched the lube and squirted a generous amount on his hand. He pumped his cock a few times and settled over the younger again.

He joined their lips gently while he aligned his cock to his hole, feeling Jeongguk's hands grip his nape as he pushed in. He swallowed every broken whimper Jeongguk let out and passed his fingers through his hair to soothe him. "It's gonna be okay." He left open-mouth kisses on his neck, sucking it in the most delicate way. "That's right, breathe."

After two minutes give or take, he sensed the younger relax underneath him and dragged his hips back, testing his reaction. When he felt nails dig into his back and Jeongguk meet his movements, he accelerated his rhythm and connected their lips in an avid kiss.

Their tongues pressed against each other eagerly as their bodies rocked together at a satisfying pace and both moaned without end into the kiss.

"You're so perfect, Jeongguk, so perfect for me," Taehyung murmured against his lips as his hands traveled all over his body.

The answer dangling on the tip of his tongue got tangled into a sonorous moan as Taehyung hit his prostate. "Hyung! There, fuck!"

Taehyung struck into him at the same spot over and over. He relished way too much to have Jeongguk beneath him, crying out in pleasure like that and especially when he called him hyung. He didn't know why, but it drove him crazy every time that word came out of his mouth in such a needy way.

He rammed inside him fast as he bombarded his neck with hungry kisses, hearing Jeongguk's melodic moans right next to his ear and feeling a fire blaze deep in his belly. He wrapped his hand around Jeongguk's cock and rubbed his thumb over the slit as he continued pounding into him.

The moment his erection received the slightest attention, the heat in his gut boiled over and cum spurted from his cock in thick ropes. A jumble of moans erupted from him mixed with the word Taehyung loved so much to hear. Hyung.

Taehyung followed soon enough and released deep inside his hole that was clenching around him. He dropped his tired body on him and caressed his hair as he trailed small kisses from his cheek to his lips. He remained inside him as he crashed their lips together, and Jeongguk responded in the same desperate way, mewling softly.

They broke the deep kiss with lots of pecks, and Taehyung patted his head as he stared at him with another expression Jeongguk couldn't interpret.

"Tae," he whispered and cupped his cheek, caressing it. They stayed there in their little bubble, looking into each other's eyes and both feeling an ocean of unexplainable things, but neither dared to say anything. At least not at that moment.
