"Potatoes?"

"Check."

"Flour?"

"Check."

"Eggs?"

"Eggs? Wait wait wait."

"Jungkook—"

"Check! It's here."

Taehyung shakes his head as he clicks his tongue at the flustered male. Jungkook looked so concentrated taking out the ingredients from the fridge to make their favorite recipe, Mojos.

"We got everything, right?" Taehyung asked as he scan Jungkook's kitchen. He had been here before, so it doesn't make it hard for him to set up the things they need since he knows where they are.

Jungkook furrows his brows as he thinks. "Drinks?"

"Hmm. That sounds nice."

"But I only got water and wine here, Tae. Is it okay for you to have water?" Jungkook scratches his head looking bashful. "Grocery is scheduled tomorrow."

"Okay, Bring out the wine." Taehyung decided, because its better to drink wine, an alcoholic beverage that can make your head hazy and spinning, than drinking plain old water, right?

They started cooking not long after, as they sip their wine from their glasses from time to time. They decided to open the drink even before the mojos are cooked, and who ever decided its not a good idea to drink alcoholic beverage while cooking, is probably right.

Both of them had a silent agreement to loosen up a little, because they have been working so hard for so long. They finished the bottle of wine quite quickly, and Jungkook fished out another from his stack.

Now, this should be a focused-cooking-mojos night, but as the night progressed, it's more of a silly-banter-wine-drinking-giggling night.

Taehyung was coating the potatoes with flour when Jungkook suddenly had an idea. It's not a good idea and will probably result to a disaster, but his slightly tipsy mind tells him it's gonna be hilarious.

He looked at the bowl of flour sitting innocently at the kitchen counter, and he smirked. Dipping his finger in it, he then silently walked closer to an oblivious Taehyung. Then without a word, he smeared the flour to the brunette's cheek in a long line.

Taehyung gasps at the sudden action. "Wha— Kookie!"

Jungkook was laughing loudly at Taehyung, because he looked cute even with flour on his face, and because of the tingling sensation of the butterflies in his stomach as the brunette called him 'Kookie.'

Taehyung is laughing also, because his hazy, wine induced mind just decided that Jungkook's laugh is really contagious. He scooped flour in his hand and ran to Jungkook, who was still doubling over.

Without warning, Taehyung literally face palmed Jungkook with his hands full of flour, and that shut Jungkook up. The younger coughed as he tried to breathe, but only got a mouthful of flour instead. When he finally recovered, he saw Taehyung rolling on the floor, his face red and eyes watering from laughing.

No doubt, Jungkook's face looked like he was caked with too much foundation. Jungkook decided to counter attack, and he used this opportunity where Taehyung is still on the ground, laughing.

Jungkook also got a handful of flour and smeared it on Taehyung's face. "Noooo!" Taehyung wailed as he realized he was pinned down by Jungkook's body just to cover his face with flour.

Both their faces are hilariously white, and the poor potatoes are completely forgotten, once again. At some point, they started tickling each other, and it's not a surprise that they still know each other's weak spots. Their giggling laughter got louder than ever.

Now, when an outsider would see them, they will both be mistaken as lovers that looked like children playing around, except they are grown ass men, and they just recently reconciled from an ugly past. But it's okay, what's important is that they are happy now.

Taehyung tried to poke Jungkook's nape harder, and he successfully made Jungkook squirm. He managed to flip them over, so now the brunette is towering over the raven head, legs on each side of Jungkook's waist and sitting on his lap. He continued to attack Jungkook, still giggling while the younger flails his arms around.

Soon, they got tired.

"Okay you win, Tae!" Jungkook yells laughing, out of breath.

By the time Taehyung deemed himself the winner, they are both panting. The room is a mess of white powder, and the two men aren't even better. Their hair, clothes, and faces are even a bigger mess, but they don't mind.

Taehyung's head is bowed and sort of pressed into Jungkook's chest for support. They stayed there for a few minutes, breathing, and Taehyung doesn't remove his head from Jungkook's chest.

By the time Taehyung tried to remove himself from Jungkook, he felt hands on his hips holding him still. Then, the brunette does look up, and Jungkook looks at him. The eye contact is intense that they both feel like they were struck by lightning.

Their brains aren't in a good state either. The wine truly did justice about giving them a hazy and spinning head. Not even realizing it, both their faces gradually moving, closing the gap.

Then they are kissing. And they are still on the floor.

It was a light kiss. Jungkook missed everything about it. And although Taehyung's lips kind of taste like flour and wine, a weird combination, because that's what they've been consuming for the past hour, Jungkook is sure that he tastes the same way, so it's no big deal.

And sadly, it ended as soon as it started.

Jungkook tried to chase Taehyung's lips, but the older is already standing up and steadying himself on the counter. The younger slowly gathers himself and stood up. The silence contrasting the atmosphere just a while ago.

For a moment, Jungkook felt scared, because Taehyung is avoiding eye contact. He felt like the need to talk about their kiss should be pushed aside for later, when the awkwardness is gone.

"S-should we start cooking?" Jungkook managed to speak.

Taehyung only nodded, and starts to heat the pan they will be using. Thankfully, all the potatoes cut are coated with flour. The flour that they wasted in their game were only leftovers.

They cook in silence for awhile, and Jungkook felt like he's walking on thin ice again, because he doesn't know what's going on in Taehyung's mind. He furrows his brows in worry, because he doesn't want to ruin this night for the both of them. Their bond was getting good.

Meanwhile, Taehyung silently took a glance at the silent male beside him. And as he stares at Jungkook's face, he can't help but snort a laugh.

"What?" Jungkook asked, slightly offended. Because how can the older laugh when he was having a crisis here.

"You look like a kicked puppy!" Taehyung continued to laugh. "You look funny pouting there, with your face full of flour."

"Yah! You're no different than me." Jungkook answered back, but this time, he gradually smiled. Thankful that Taehyung is smiling again.

They finished cooking, and now the Mojos are neatly aligned on the plate, it's golden color crisp under the kitchen lights. Before they settled on Jungkook's living room couch, they washed their faces clean, and wiped the mess in the kitchen.

After cleaning, both of them lounge around with their glasses of wine on their hands, while snacking on Mojos.  Both of them never acknowledged the quick kiss they shared awhile ago.

"Do you wanna play Mario Kart?" Jungkook asked Taehyung as he takes out his game console. "You need to ditch Candy Crush, that game is for moms."

Taehyung gasped, offended. "Don't you dare insult Candy Crush. FYI, I'm in the level 5,423 already."

Jungkook giggles at that and throws his controller at the pouting Taehyung. "Come on. Beat my ass in Mario Kart."

"I'm gonna beat your ass for insulting my favorite game." Taehyung replies, as he positions on the couch with the controller in his hands. Their glasses of wine placed on the table in a safe distance.

And so he does, and they play Mario Kart for a long while. And for tonight, it's nice to not have duties and responsibilites. Taehyung beats Jungkook finally after six tries, not knowing that Jungkook purposefully did it for him.

Jungkook half assed his way in their final game, so Taehyung can win this time. Which is a new record for Taehyung, so he victoriously throws the controller on the couch in a dramatic way.

"I win this time and I refuse to play again." Taehyung said smiling, his hands on either side of his hips. Both their cheeks are blushing from the wine they consumed. "I've been barely holding on in this game, and I can tell that you lost in purpose. But I'm not complaining and Candy Crush is still my favorite."

They sit there after a while, munching on their Mojos and sipping their wine, and slowly started a conversation.

"You know Tae, I'm really happy that you're here." Jungkook said softly, his voice low in the silent night. "That you're sitting on my couch, playing and laughing with me. If someone told me last year that this will happen, I wouldn't believe them."

"So you want me to go home?" Taehyung asked with a teasing smile.

"No! I just meant that, I can't believe that this is all happening. And I'm grateful that you gave me a chance."

Taehyung is silent for a few moments. "You were wondering what happened to me earlier in the day." He paused and blinks, because damn, the alcohol is getting in his system now. "I visited one of my artists. He was injured and his mom was blaming me for what happened. She kept insisting to drop his contract and proceed to study medicine."

Jungkook hums, coaxing him to continue.

"But I can see that even though he was injured, Jaehyun still loves his job. And he is happy with what he's doing. He can never give his mom's desires, but at least he is happy and lucky. And that is all that matters."

Jungkook nods solemnly. "I say, he is brave."

"Yeah?"

"Because, even though his mom is not supportive, he still pushed to thrive to reach his dream. He is someone who is brave enough to go for his happiness." Jungkook sips his wine and cringes. "Someone who can never be me."

Taehyung turns to face him. He frowned. "You are also brave."

Jungkook chuckles bitterly. "How so?"

"Because in your situation, there is no way out. Your dad was way powerful than everyone else. Your situation may be similar, but you have differences at the same time.

"Jaehyun has older siblings who are now in the medical field, his mom just has this weird obsession for her kids to be all in medicine. While you Jungkook, you are necessarily needed in your company. Your dad is sick, and your hyung went away. You are brave because you sacrificed your happiness and opts to handle a job that doesn't even make you happy. And I admire you for that."

Jungkook smiled sadly. "You really never changed Tae. You are still so kind and considerate." Taehyung just bows his head at that. "I'm so thankful for the people who took care of you when you were away."

Taehyung smiled at the mention of his adoptive family. All of a sudden, he realized he missed them. "Yeah. They are the most loving and caring people that I've ever met. Well, second to Granny of course."

Jungkook's smile is warm. "You know, I already had a feeling that you will have a great future since then, Tae. Because you are such a good person, with a pure heart."

Taehyung snorted at that.

"You always supported me back then, always have my back whenever. You gave me so much strength, that when you left, I was completely lost.

"Our friends kept cheering me up, I appreciated that, but neither of them can fill the gap in my heart that is you." Fuck, Jungkook must be drunk, because he's being talkative right now.

"But you know? Even when you were far away, I knew it was still you that gave me courage to face everything. I was lost and disoriented, but the very thought of you made me pick up myself. Because what if one day you'll see me in that state, you wouldn't be proud of me."

"Jungkook.." Taehyung stares at the male before him. He suddenly look like a child.

"I knew I had no choice but to pursue  business, but guess what? It was your precious smile, and priceless laugh that always fill in the gap. It was your overflowing kindness. It was your love, Taehyung.

"I always asked myself, whatever field I will be in, if I make it big one day, if I ever succeeded, will you ever see me or hear about me? Will you come back for me?

"Will you see me for the man that I am now? Living with the gap in my heart that can only be filled by you? A man who is living in regrets and with a hopeful heart?"

"Please.. Jungkookie.." Taehyung reached out to touch Jungkook's tear stained cheeks.

And Jungkook didn't even realize he's crying. He held on to Taehyung's warm hand and nuzzled his face in it. He opens his eyes and he can see Taehyung's face so close to him. He can see the worried look in him.

"I have forgiven you Jungkook."

Jungkook smiled. "Thank you." he whispered.

"But have you forgiven your family? Yourself?" Taehyung asked.

Jungkook stayed silent at that.

"I hope someday, you can forgive them, especially yourself, Kookie."

They stayed like that for some time, Taehyung carressing Jungkook's face while both staring at one another.

"I really missed you, you know." Jungkook muttered.

Taehyung nodded. "I know."

"So so bad." the younger added.

Each of them stared longingly to each other, their cheeks pink and eyes hazy. Jungkook looked down at Taehyung's lips once again, and this time, it is loudly inviting him.

But you either let the moment pass, or grab it.

And Jungkook chose the latter.

They move closer a little too eager, and they're kissing again, and their hands are still intertwined. Taehyung's lips are softer than ever, and Jungkook thanked the heavens for letting him taste this again.

It was a chaste kiss at first, but then, their mouths are moving so in sync, not even passing air between them. And gradually, they are carressing each other's hair. It was nostalgic.

They kissed and kissed like they were never separated in the first place. They know every nook and corner of each other's mouth, and they start to reach it. They open their mouths and taste their tongues, entering, giving and receiving.

Taehyung realized, Jungkook is still a good kisser.

Scratch that, he is the best kisser. But he won't tell him that.

Suddenly, there's a sudden shift in the air, and Taehyung doesn't know how he ended up at Jungkook's lap again. Just kissing is not enough now, and they need to be closer than ever.

Jungkook wrapped one hand around Taehyung's body, bringing him closer if that's more possible. He has now full access to Taehyung's neck, taking full advantage of lapping and nipping his neck, but careful not to leave marks on it as he kisses along.

Taehyung moans softly at the shiver his body gave him. His neck is such a weak spot for kissing.

Jungkook goes back for his lips, and this time, there's a certain force in it. They both can feel it. The carnal desire and hunger towards each other. The kiss is now moving fast, like they've been thirsty for so long. Their spit mixing for reaching each other's mouth, each proving a point of their desire.

It's loud, the slurping and smacking of lips. Jungkook's hand is now resting on Taehyung's ass, and he reluctantly squeezes the mounds of flesh, that is sadly covered in clothing.

"Mhmm." Taehyung moans again, louder this time. Jungkook realized the brunette liked it, so he did it again, earning another sound from the older. Taehyung felt something poking his ass.

They separated for a gasp of air, and they looked at each other's appearances. Both lips are swollen and spit slicked. Only then Taehyung realized that the one poking his ass is Jungkook's boner. And he's no better than him, because apparently, he's also sporting one.

"Fuck." Jungkook cursed. He pulled Taehyung against his chest again, and licked at his ear. "You look so beautiful. I wanna wreck you."

Taehyung whimpered at that. Shit Jungkook sound so hot dirty talking. They both start to move against each other, seeking friction.

They kissed again as they dry hump. Jungkook made sure that his covered cock aligns with Taehyung's cock. Only the material of their pants separating them. Jungkook's hands constantly squeeze Taehyung's ass, pulling the two mounds apart and closing them. He then starts pulling his ass deeper into him, so both their erections can grind more deeply.

They move together on the couch. Jungkook's lips hovering over Taehyung's neck as the latter's head is thrown back. Goosebumps can be felt on their skins as they can feel their lower abdomen tingle deliciously.

They never know how fast they can get, but Taehyung is grinding so deeply into Jungkook. Their ragged breathing turns into loud moaning. It was then that Jungkook decide to touch Taehyung's hole over his pants. He drags a finger between the plump flesh of his ass, and graze him back and forth.

"Ah.." Taehyung moans loudly at the touch and tries moving his hips so quickly on top of Jungkook. The air is so thick that they both started to sweat. Taehyung can feel the outline of Jungkook's cock. How hard and erect it is even inside the younger's pants, and he can feel it getting bigger and bigger, if that's possible.

"Fuck, Taehyung." Jungkook manages to breathe out, his one hand massaging his ass, his other on its journey towards playing with a nipple.

Taehyung whimpers again when he felt his nipple getting squeezed, and the knot in his lower abdomen intensifies.

"Yes, baby. Give it to me." Jungkook whispers in a raspy voice as he stares at Taehyung. He can feel their edge approaching, as they move against each other so fast, like they are wolves in heat.

Taehyung lets out a cracked moan when he reached his climax, his cock sputtering liquid in his pants. He shivers at the sensation and for a few moments, he let himself feel the high. Jungkook, meanwhile, was not stopping, he grinds his hips upward nonstop, chasing his own orgasm. His arms strained as he grips at Taehyung's body so hard.

Not longer, he follows Taehyung with a groan. His eyebrows furrow in a sexy way.

For a while, only their ragged breathing can be heard in the space.

They bask at the afterglow of their orgasm for a few minutes. But then, their wet pants are getting uncomfortable, so even unwillingly, they needed to separate.

"I have spare pants in the bedroom, I'll get one for you." Jungkook tried to stand up.

Taehyung, meanwhile, trying to focus on other things besides the wet patch on Jungkook's crotch, held his hand. "No it's okay."

"No, Tae. That would feel uncomfortable."

"I said it's okay, Jungkook. I'll probably change after I go home."

Jungkook halts. "You can stay here for the night, Tae."

Taehyung slowly stood up, trying to not cringe at the uncomfortable wetness. "I'm going back home, Jungkook." he said in finality. He doesn't know why he has the urge of hiding himself from Jungkook.

Reality dawns like a splash of cold water and Taehyung questions himself why they did that. Suddenly, he can't look at Jungkook.

Oh shit. What just happened?

Taehyung can't believe he let himself give in to his thirst. Was it the alcohol? Maybe it's been a while since he got laid.

Yes that's it. It's probably been a while.

Taehyung moves to walk towards the door, but Jungkook reaches out for him again.

"Can't you stay? Please?"

Taehyung looked at anything except the younger male. "I c-can't Jungkook. Need to go home." Taehyung maybe looked funny with a wet patch in his crotch, but he still opts to go home in his own abode and scream about everything that happened in his own space. His foot tapping the floor in a noncalming way.

"Taehyung, calm down." Jungkook looked worried. "Okay. I'll let you go. Just please calm down."

They walked to the door silently, and Taehyung can feel Jungkook's eyes boring holes on his back.

He struggles opening his own door to his flat. It took him awhile before he got the keys to open. At that, he made a mental note to suggest to Jungkook to change every lock into a digital passcode.

But he'll suggest that later because Jungkook is now looking at him so intensely.

"Thanks for tonight, Jungkook." Taehyung quickly muttered before he closes his own door, readying himself to be met by silence to mock him through the night.

👉 Our Taehyungie is emotionally constipated, pls bear with him. 😅
Btw, we are now entering some scenes which are a bit more mature. Ready.. Set.. And begin.. 😳
