iKON (아이콘) - Return
사랑을 했다 (LOVE SCENARIO)

❚❚ ►_____________________________ 3:29

Jeongguk blinked his eyes open as a ray of sunlight sparkled through the shut curtains of the big window front of the hotel room, hearing the tickling sound of the shower going off in the room beside him.

His first instinct was to check underneath the big poofy blanket, seeing his body wrapped in fresh clothes that were still in his luggage yesterday not recalling putting them on though.

His memory was wiped out after Taehyung collapsed onto him, remembering his eyes feeling heavy and body weak as he fell asleep before he could do anything further.

Yes, he still could recall everything that happened yesterday -- everything and he wanted to regret it but he couldn't, he didn't.

But what he wanted to slap himself for was that he felt things that he shouldn't be; from butterflies coursing through his gut to enjoying calling the older one by hyung.

It made him want to rip his hair out since it made him appear vulnerable and weak for Taehyung which is what he didn't want to be, he wanted to opposite -- he wanted to feel strong for once in his life.

His string of thoughts got cut off as he noticed the constant sound of water falling down from the showerhead disappear and seconds later the door to the bathroom open as well, a cloud of steam puffing out, making the mirrors in the hallway slightly foggy.

Gguk watched as Taehyung stepped out, only a blank white towel held loosely around his crotch, sending him into flashbacks from last night, gripping at his blanket and bottom lip unconsciously caught between his teeth.

"What you staring for, Jeon? Already thinking about next time?" One of Taehyung's eyes closed itself in a wink as he walked over to his bed, kneeling down to his suitcase and throwing seemingly random clothes onto his bed.

"Who said there will be a next time?" Gguk sat up and scoffed at him, knowing very well himself that he enjoyed last night but he had no intentions to tell Taehyung that.

"We both know there will be." He smirked as he dropped the towel, exposing his crotch, Jeongguk insantly blushing and using his hand to cover his eyes.

"For fucks sake, Taehyung. Don't do that and also another time will only happen in your dreams." He still had his hand covering his line of sight, eventhough he knows himself he had already seen -- all of Taehyung.

"Don't you mean Taehyung hyung?" He could almost here the smirk and confidence dripping from the older one's voice as the word 'hyung' left his lips, Jeongguk now trying to hide his blush streaked face with his hand as well.

"Stop." Gguk parted his pointer finger from the rest of them to make a small gap to check if Taehyung was now wearing something and he could ready in peace.

He saw Taehyung wearing his classic white gucci shirt and grey sweatpants, wet hair still tinted a faded turquoise, almost a minty color and staring right into his soul and walking closer to him.

"You didn't tell me to stop yesterday, did you babe?" He watched the older one edge closer, now directly infront of him, Jeongguk not moving an inch or uttering a word as his blush was already giving his nervousness away.

He felt Taehyung's hand slide to his thighs, picking him up swiftly, somehow a smile appearing on both their faces, Gguk's arms wandering around Tae's neck.

One of his hands left his thigh and pressed itself to the younger one's neck, inching him closer until their lips connected in a kiss.

Jeongguk's eyes shot open in surprise as a whirlwind turned his stomach upside down and his heart pumped faster, taking his hand and hitting Taehyung on his shoulder repeatedly, feeling his blush getting worse.

It was a quick kiss that Taehyung ended up releasing with a loud smaking noise, setting Jeongguk down again.

"We should pack, we are leaving at 3 which is in an hour." Taehyung turned around walking to his bed again and beginning to try and stuff all his belongings in his suitcase.

"Why did you-" Jeongguk still had surprise written all over his face, remaining frozen at his spot, fanning his face with his hand wanting to cool down the peachiness spread across his cheeks.

"Don't know. You looked pretty cute, Jeon." The older one explained as if it was nothing, continuing to gather his belongings

With eyes still wide and heart feeling like it was going to explode, Jeongguk also decided it would be a good time to start packing, luckily Nayoo was so nice to have put his luggage at their room door since he was getting ready at her room yesterday -- she's really truly an angel.

It took a good amount of time to even figure out how he got all his stuff in that suitcase in the first place as it was seemingly overflowing now, Gguk ending up with the typical sitting down on top of it to weigh it down and closing it that way.

As Jeongguk was still somehow done much earlier than Taehyung he made his way down to the lobby deciding to wait there, seeing all his colleagues with sunglasses and caps covering up their pale from the hungover faces.

He looked around spotting Nayoo sitting alone on a sofa, immediately walking up to her as her face seemed not as cheerful as her usual self, worry spreading in his thoughts.

"Nayoo!" He saw her face shoot up from her phone, mouth edging into a sweet smile as he opened his arms to hug her.

"Kooks." She mocked his tone of voice, hugging him back. "You did have fun yesterday, huh?" She wiggled her eyesbrows suggestively as Gguk released her from his embrace sitting down next to her.

He furrowed his eyebrows in confusion before realising what she was actually talking about, eyes widening in surprise.

"How do you know? Does everyone else know too?" He whispered, feeling his hands shaking slightly and his eyes tear up at the thought of people finding out -- it opened mental scars from years go for him to just think about it.

He saw Nayoo's eyes flood with panic as he felt her hand softly attach to his. "Kooks, everything is okay. No, everyone was way too blackout drunk to have registered anything and i only heard you and Taehyung occasionally. Don't worry, everything is fine." She continued to smooth her thumbs over his hands, Jeongguk trying to calm down, closing his eyes and taking a deep breath.

"Okay, okay. Can we change topics?" Jeongguk looked down at her, his eyes still a bit teary but seeing her nod nontheless. "Well, how did your call with Yiu go?"

He saw her face fall again immediately upon mentioning her name, her body slumping down a bit. "Well i don't have a chance with her either. She's hella straight and has a boyfriend at that."

Gguk saw her evident pout as she crossed her arms infront of her body. "You will find someone way better in the future. You are so amazing and bet there's so many girls swooning over you already. You are pretty, cute, good sense of humor and are down for anything."

A smile crept up on her lips as the pout faded. "Thanks, dumbass." Before they could go in for another hug, Hoseok called everyone to load their luggage in the vans that were waiting for them so they could leave soon which is what they did.

Jeongguk took his and Nayoo's suitcase, placing them into the back of the van and helping her get in without any complications, sitting down at the same spots as the time they drove here.

Which also meant that Taehyung took the spot beside him, sitting there airpods in his ears and staring out the window.

Gguk was more or less half asleep for the majority of the two hour ride as he was last time but somewhat around the last half an hour in, he felt a soft hand lift his head from the window and put something soft between his head and the hard glass surface which actually began to hurt.

He blinked his eyes open when they came to a halt ans everyone began russling with their things, looking out to the dance studio right infront of him, just now noticing what he was sleeping on.

It was a grey puma hoodie, kind of looking like the one he had, actually not kind of but exactly looking like it.

Slightly confused, he spread it out on his legs, looking for a specific little scratch mark along the right sleeve that Coconut had left there one time while he tried to pick her up and well -- she wasn't having the best day.

"You left it in the hotel room. You looked uncomfortable sleeping so i made it a pillow." He heard Taehyung's voice from his side, not knowing how to respond to actually such a sweet and kind action from well -- him.

"Oh, uhm, thank you." Jeongguk nodded, slightly bowing with his head before opening the door and getting out to get his and Nayoo's luggage out the back before helping her to get into Hoseok's car who would drive her home.

After hugging her goodbye, he took his own suitcase, walking into the direction of his apartment, excited to get some rest but also to see Coconut again.

But before he could even take another step he was interrupted by someone shouting out his name loudly behind him, turning around to see Taehyung running his way.

Gguk tilted his head in confusion, gripping at his suitcase to turn it around, facing Taehyung.

"I lost my keys. Can I maybe stay at yours for the night?" Jeongguk was taken aback by the sudden question, almost dropping his belongings in his hands.

"Uhm, why me? And i don't know if that's a good idea." Gguk was sceptical, he knew how boys had treated him in the past, wanting their advantage out of him, he didn't know Taehyung's intentions yet.
He probably had multiple friends who could pick him up so why him?

"Why not you? Come on, Jeon. Please." He watched the older clasp his hands together like he was praying, resting his head on top, actually cutely squishing his chin.

"I-I don't know-" Jeongguk felt torn. Yes, it was just one night and that's it but everything Taehyung had done today felt so -- out of place for him, made Gguk feel things he didnt want to feel.
It was all a mess in his head about what was right and what was wrong.

"Fine, maybe i'll call Yunee then." Taehyung sighed ready to get his phone out.
Gguk felt heat rise to his head, remembering Yunee and her damn shitty attitude, rolling his eyes, also a hint of jealous coursing through him.

"No-" He put his hand on top of Taehyung's making him put his phone back down. "It's okay, you can stay a night." He sighed in defeat, seeing the older one's pout turn into a smirk.

"Great, Jeon. Thanks." He winked at him, already starting to head into the direction Jeongguk was going previously.

He stood frozen for a second before following, that specific swirly feeling in his gut not disappearing anymore, thoughts also not knowing where to head.

And that's how they walked to his apartment in an awkward silence with Jeongguk asking himself why he really felt like he wanted to be more than a friend to Taehyung.
