TWICE (트와이스) - SIGNAL
ONLY 너 (ONLY YOU)

❚❚►_____________________________ 3:38

Jeongguk felt the bright late summer sun cast a shadow behind him, shining into his face, eyes and nose scrunching together as he stepped outside his apartment complex.

Today he had his first regular work day again after being called in sick from his previous panic attacks, Hoseok being incredibly understanding and gentle with his needs, telling him to take the time he felt was appropriate to recover.

But after therapy just yesterday he felt this boost, like a boost of caffeine running through his veins filling his body with energy to resume with his favorite past time and job in one.

He just finally, felt good about himself, comfortable in his own skin, like he was worthy of love, of feeling happiness -- he felt like he arrived at being himself.

And a big part of that was actually Taehyung -- who he already missed a lot by only being apart for one night by the way, already happy and excited to see him at work today.

He felt a chilly breeze waft around his body as he walked towards the dance studio, thick grey puma swearshirt and pants keeping him warm and cozy.
It was evident that autumn would be arriving completely in the next few weeks with the dropping temperatures and cold winds gushing through the streets.

Hand gliding through his cherry red hair as the wind decided to slightly mess with it anyways, Jeongguk quickened his steps unconsciously upon seeing the studio in the distance.

He really was looking forward to focusing his energy on dancing and teaching again, hoping that his students he had dearly missed him as well and were well ready for something new and exciting too.

He had been pretty much in his head all evening long yesterday, subconsciously counting steps to a melody he hadn't even picked out yet, making up new easily flowing movements and connecting them with others to make something new.

Arriving at the dance studio confidently, he saw his figure mirroring in the glass surface of the door, throwing himself back to previous times. Knowing that he occasionally felt somewhat confident during those days but now he was feeling a different type of confidence -- a true one that wouldn't fade away so easily.

He pushed himself against the doors, making them fall open and stepping inside, gretting everyone he came across with a  genuine, happiness dripping smile, aura around him refreshing and easily flowing as he made his way towards his first class earlier than he had planned.

Walking around the corner to the practice rooms, his head peaked inside the different ones already spotting a couple of his colleagues, crowded spaces behind them teaching beginner classes -- but not finding his boyfriend quite yet, face slightly puffing into a pout as he placed his hand on the door handle of another glass door, stepping inside the cold empty practice room.

He didn't take a minute to quickly wiggle out the jukebox out of the build-in supply closet and turn on a random melody on his playlist.
The soothing yet powerful tones hit the sides of the walls, echoing through the room as Jeongguk didn't hesitate to start rehearsing what he had thought of.

"five, six, seven, eight-" He whispered to himself quietly as he waited to hit the beat, starting to throw his head back, slow wave rolling down his entire body, perfectly capturing the softness yet harsh energy of song echoing through the background.

His Body continued to roll in fluency, hands going behind his head as he slightly puffed out his chest, feeling his own taught muscles perfectly accentuate the movement just like he wanted to, own eyes monitoring his every move in detail.

Right hand formed into a gun, thumb, pointer and middle finger stretched out to make an L shape, ring and pinkie resting against his palm, sliding down his torso to attach to his waistband, gripping on it tightly as the hand that previously stayed behind his head came down beside him in a half circle to do the same as his other one.

The both of them staying tightly attached to his waistband as he thrusted forward, head falling forward and back in the same beat, giving it more power as his own piercing glare stared back at him through the mirrored surface plastering the wall in front of him.

Finishing by turning around with a swift spin, hands going behind his back, spinning his wrist over eachother acting like they are tied together as he let his knees go slightly limp bouncing up and down the tiniest bit as he let his head roll back, draw a circle.

Chest heaving up and down the slightest bit, breathes huffing out his parted lips as he released his hands, turning back around to see himself in the mirror, hand smoothing through his cherry hair again, more than satisfied with what he had come up with, smile tugging at his face.

And sooner than he could register students started trickling in, sweet laughs across their lips upon seeing Jeongguk standing infront, occasionally complementing his new hair color and his somehow completely changed charisma flowing around him.

Class pretty much flying by in seconds to Gguk, everyone being incredibly skilled today, soaking up the moves he presented like it was nothing, even managing to dance together in almost complete sync, heart swelling upon seeing their great efforts.

"Okay, on last time guys! You are doing great today!" He commented turning around, back facing his class, wanting to have even to ones struggling at the back being able to follow his movements. "Okay and five-" Voice getting stuck in his throat as his eyes moved up in the mirror, seeing no other than Taehyung, his boyfriend himself, standing outside the door, separating them by just a layer of glass -- and well about 15 people scattered around in the room.

Gguk coughed trying to cover up his sudden startle, eyes still focused on Taehyung through the mirrored surface in front of him, seeing a smirk tugging at the corners of his lips.

"S-sorry-" He coughed up yet again, just trying to hide the fluster that was creeping up his cheeks. "Five, six, seven, eight-"

He started with the bodyroll again, head throwing back before the movement cascaded down his body, eyes remaining focused on his boyfriend who was closely monitoring his every move.

Class behind him expertly following what they had learned the past half hour, Jeongguk trying his best to focus on them, feeling a single drop of sweat gather at the tip of his nose close to rolling down and not because he was exhausted in any way.

It was the older's piercing glare that made him feel fired up, the way his eyes followed his every movement, never left his body for the slightest second.

He however tried his best to continue unbothered, hand now sliding down his stomach to his waist band, bottom lip tugging inbetween his teeth as he noticed Taehyung's vision glued to that specific movement, cheeks getting hotter and hotter, probably peachier toned as well.

It was like the air around him flowed in a much different temperature in just seconds, feeling the need to take off his grey sweatshirt, that was provably stained a darker color from the sweat pooling at the dips of his back.

He finally spun around to finish the choreography, slightly hooding his eyes as he was now directly staring at his boyfriend instead of using the mirror as a connection for their almost lusting stares.

Tongue totally unintentionally parting his pink lips, gliding over them to give them a slight sheen, head circling back as the finishing touch, knowing that he must look fucking desperate for something right now -- that something being his boyfriend, just a couple feet away from him, separated by a glassy door.

He felt like the people around him disappeared as it was only Taehyung and him in his world, the older's glance still not prying off his body for a split second, making him bite the inside of his cheek, hoping not to draw any blood.

As the tones around him got louder he caught himself, students already out of their end positions, confused stares surrounding him as he cleared his voice, going back to standing normally, cheeks flushed and little rivers of pink sweat dripping down the sides of his face, swearshirt discolored on certain areas, feeling his body sticky, glazed with a thin film of sweat.

"That-s- that's it for today. See you guys next time." He bowed, trying his very best not to make it known how flustered he was right at this moment, everyone bending over the slightest amount to bow back, trickling out the room one by one.

But all of Jeongguk's attention was still focused on Taehyung, patiently waiting outside, dark brown brooding eyes sparkling from the intense lights scattered throughout the studio.

He felt his breath speed up, taking the nearest towel messily thrown to the floor, trying to dab off some of the water stuck to his skin, reaching behind him and under his sweatshirt, gently patting off the pools on the dip of his waist, eyes trying not to focus on when his boyfriend would enter the room, stomach rumbling in anticipation.

Hearing the door fall close, he couldn't help but lift his eyes, scanning his sourroundings through the mirror again, seeing Taehyung and him the only ones remaining in the room.

"Baby." Deep voice bouncing on his ear drum as his eyes began to actually look at Taehyung's physique. Brown hair tugged behind one of his ears, black jeans ripped at the knees and a white t-shirt tugged in the front revealing the usual snake charmed gucci belt.

He watched him step closer until he felt his hands placing themselves at Gguk's waist, pulling him closer until his back was pushed up flush against the older's chest, his arms caging him in, feeling his shirt glue itself to his back again.

"You look so hot, bun." Vibrations of his voice sending a lightning strike down his back as he saw his head rest down on his shoulder through the mirror infront of them.

"I do?" Jeongguk felt a rush pulsing through his veins, deciding to play Taehyung's game, very well aware that the other would have a class in this exact room in ten or so minutes but he couldn't lie -- the idea made him feel something he shouldn't.

"hm." He felt the other hum in agreement, his head turning to have his breath fan right at his ear, the younger's eyes fluttering close as he felt his hands sliding back to his waist, coming together in a squeeze. "You are enjoying this too much, aren't you?"

Chuckle rang though the room, feeling the air heat up even more, slight nervousness dancing in Jeongguk's stomach as he felt the other's soft lips move over his ear, giving the tinest lick before going to attach them behind it, Gguk's hands immediately wandering on top ot Tae's resting at the dip of his torso.

He sucked in his breath harshly, Taehyung's lips travelling down to his neck, not hesitating a second before picking a spot to work a purple stain on it.

"Tae- we are a-at work-" Words only escaping as a whisper as his boyfriend was still busy working at the dip of his neck, Jeongguk's eyes fluttering open again, seeing themselves in the mirrored glass, arousal shooting through his system.
Something about the way the other's head was burried, busy working at his neck, only  brown blob of hair dangling down, hands tightly gripping and accentuating his small waist.

"I missed you." He felt Taehyung rasp against his collar, one of his hands sliding over Jeongguk's back placing it at his butt, squeezing down ever so gently.

Heart getting caught by a tornado of butterflies shooting and messing up his body, pleased to know that the older was feeling the exact same as he himself -- knowing it was unavoidable to crash at one of their places after work.

But their moment was quickly interrupted, door swinging open behind them, Jeongguk shooting back to reality as Taehyung quickly detached himself, opening up their close proximity, both taking a step away from the other.

"Taehyungie!" Annoyingly high pitched voice already making Gguk's eyes roll and head hurt -- Yunee, wearing her usual combination of skin tight crop top and high waisted shorts, exposing her middrift the tinest bit.

She still was in Taehyung's class, still trying to throw himself onto him occasionally. Jeongguk trusts his boyfriend one hundred percent but he couldn't help that there was still a slight jealousy clawing inside his gut knowing that the two had somewhat of a thing once.

"Why are you coming in already? You guys are suppose to wait outside." Taehyung sighed at her behaviour, arms crossing infront of his body, obviously also feeling annoyed by her repeated efforts to make him pay attention to her again.

"I know but i'm special, aren't I?" She whined, stepping closer to Taehyung, ready to throw her hands right on his biceps, the older luckily having good reflexes and stepping back, Jeongguk's gut swirling with jealousy nevertheless, quiet disbelieving laugh escaping.

He just couldn't hold himself, knowing she was a bratty, rude girl who thinks the fucking world belongs to her and that she gets everything when she just whines for it enough.
It made him sick to his stomach -- especially when his own boyfriend is involved in her little perfect world.

"Don't you see that he has no interest in you anymore?" He spat out, arms also going to cross infront of his torso, fire of jealousy burning in his eyes.

He saw her turn to look at him, obviously not having payed any attention to him before hand, eyes scanning him up and down, disgusted look painted on her features.

"Well, and you were?" She scoffed, her high pitched tone ringing through his ears, intensifying the dislike he already had against her.

"Jeongguk." He walked over to the older's side, his hands attaching to his arm first pulling him closer to him, tired of her attitude and more than ready to give her a nice taste of the bitter reality. "Taehyung's boyfriend."

Just as the words left Gguk's lips he saw her face fall in slight disbelief but most apparently -- discomfort.

And not going to lie it made his day just by the tinest bit, seeing her stunned expression that just screamed of her realization that the world actually didn't revolve around her.

"What? Taehyungie?" Her voice coming out cracked as she stepped back the tinest bit, hands fiddling infront of her.

"Please wait back outside like i told you a million time already, i want to say goodbye to my boyfriend." Taehyung lifted his hand pointing to the glass door, other hand slinging around Jeongguk's waist again pulling him close --  normally the younger's heart would jump to make the biggest leap  but right now the joy of finally having shown someone like Yunee her place was more or less overshadowing anything else.

It didn't even take five seconds before she had left the room, obviously uncomfortable with the whole situation, not being used to rejection at all.

"I'm surprised she didn't think your head working at my neck and your hands on my waist was an obvious sign." Gguk turned his head to look at Taehyung, a sweet chuckle escaping his lips as the other turned back to look at him as well.

"She isn't the smartest out there. Anyways baby, see you at mine tonight?" The sweet tone to his boyfriend's voice the complete opposite of the words spoken, knowing what would happen tonight as the other's hands slid south again, another squeeze pressing at his butt, starting to usher his face closer.

"Yes." The younger managed to mumble out before the distance between their lips closed for the first time today, immense feeling of euphoria spreading throughout him.

He knew Yunee and Taehyung had a past but he knew it was a different time, the both of them in a completely different mindset back then but these times are forgiven and they only move forward now -- together.
