Third Person's P.O.V :-

Taehyung stood in front of the door that led to Jimin's bedroom.

Water droplets were dripping down from his hair strands as he took deep breaths to control his rapid breathing from running across the field.

When he felt like everything was under control he softly opened the door and entered only to freeze on his spot.

Jimin stood there, in the middle of the room, his back facing Taehyung, his half naked back facing Taehyung.

Jimin turned around when he heard the door opening and saw Taehyung standing there, staring at him like he was some ghost.

"Why are you looking at me like that?" Jimin chuckled as he asked,"I can assure you that it's my room and I'm not here to rob something" He added with an innocent smile.

Blood was rushing up to Taehyung's cheeks in a fast pace now that Jimin was facing him, getting a sight of that lean yet muscular body was a privilege that was only allowed in Taehyung's dark fantasies.

"N-no, I know this is your room but Mistress said we need to sta-stay together so that's why I'm here" Taehyung lightly whispered while Jimin's gentle yet intense gaze focused and pierced through him.

Jimin smiled at Taehyung's nervous shuttering as he stepped closer,"Of course, I know that, silly" He said as he pulled Taehyung inside the room from the doorway and peeped out to see if anyone was outside.

After firmly closing the door and locking it, Jimin turned back to Taehyung with a curious look on his face,"You're soaking wet, you went to visit Jungkook, right?" He asked walking towards Taehyung.

For a brief second, Taehyung was about to panic thinking Jimin grew suspicious of his and Jungkook's relationship but the curious yet concerned look on Jimin's face convinced him otherwise.

"Yes, I made sure he took all the medicines, he's doing well on his own" Taehyung said as he witnessed relief washing over Jimin's face.

"That's great to hear, I just hope he wouldn't have nightmares tonight though, he usually needs somebody to hug while he's going through it" Jimin whispered in concern.

Something akin to hot boiling acid started to bubble up inside Taehyung's stomach as he took in the information.

"So you guys hug in the bed every night?"

"Huh?" Jimin looked up at Taehyung in shock at the sudden question only to see an equally shocked expression on Taehyung's face.

"I-I.." Taehyung started to shutter as he covered his mouth with his hands and his cheeks started to turn rosy from embarrassment.

He had been so spiteful at the new information that he spoke his thoughts aloud without realising.

"Taehyung.." Jimin uttered while frowning.

"I-I'll go change out of my wet clothes, sorry for the sudden question, I..I didn't mean it" Taehyung spoke quickly before grabbing the spare bathing robe from the bedside table and running inside the bathroom.

"Mistress" A lady spoke out respectively and kneeled down in front of Jihye, their head facing the floor.

Jihye looked up from the novel she was reading and neatly set the book beside her lap,"Did you bring what I told you?" She asked, her face void of any emotion.

"Yes, mistress" The lady spoke up, carefully taking out a small package out of her pocket and handing that over to Jihye.

Taking the small package on the palm of her hand, Jihye proceeded to unpack it as it revealed to have suspicious white power contained within it.

Jihye smirked and looked up at the lady servant,"Are you sure this will work?" She asked, a low satisfactory smile lingering on her lips.

"The owner gave me his words and he's pretty well known in this area for his stuff" The lady servant whispered out with utmost respect.

"Very well, you will receive a bonus for this" Jihye absentmindedly praised the servant and turned to look at her most trustworthy person in the entire clan house who was sitting behind her, in his respectable spot.

"Minjun, will you mix this in the Sake and deliver it to my favourite grandson's room?" Jihye asked politely.

"As you wish, Mistress" Minjun uttered out instantly.

Knock knock!

Jimin looked up from his phone and stared at the door in confusion,"Who is it?" He called out as he got down from the bed, he was perching on previously.

"It's me, master Jimin, Minjun" Came the reply from behind the door.

"Minjun?" Jimin mumbled out in confusion and opened the door to see his grandma's favorite servant standing on the doorway with a bottle of sake.

"Mistress wanted me to deliver it to you, master Jimin, may I come in?" Minjun asked, his face refusing to display any kind of expression.

"Yeah, sure, come in" Jimin hesitantly let him in and watched in silence as Minjun pulled out some ceramic flask and cups and neatly set them on the coffee table.

"Enjoy your night, master Jimin" Minjun bowed and excused himself as he quietly closed the door after him.

"Sake, huh? How weird for granny to send something like this" Jimin uttered under his breath before yawning and going back to the bed for a bit more of social media scrolling.

A few minutes later the bathroom door opened and Taehyung stepped out in his bathrobe.

"You're not wearing your usual pajamas?" Jimin asked out as he witnessed Taehyung struggling to tie the knot around his waist.

"Uh? Oh, um, mistress might get angry if I don't wear the bathrobe that she prepared with specifically me in the mind" Taehyung replied easily as he focused all his attention into tying a perfect knot.

Jimin perked up from his spot as he watched Taehyung struggle with amused eyes,"Want me to help?" He offered to help seeing that Taehyung hadn't many any progress since the last two minutes.

Taehyung looked up at Jimin with a flushed face,"I can tie a knot but these belts are just way too silky so my fingers are slipping" He admitted, panicking a little that Jimin might think he couldn't even tie a knot.

Jimin just chuckled under his breath as he got down from the bed,"I wasn't doubting your knot tying abilities, Tae, I just wanna help" He said stepping closer to Taehyung.

"O-okay" Taehyung stuttered and handed the ends of the belt over as Jimin stepped into his personal space,

"Do you want it firm or a little loose?" Jimin asked as he tugged a little on the belts after giving the first knot making Taehyung come closer along with you belt.

"Fi-firm" Taehyung squeaked, painfully aware that he was turning into a tomato with each passing second.

Jimin chuckled at Taehyung,"Stop blushing so much, it's not like I'm going to rip this open and peep at you, you know?" He joked light heartedly.

However, Taehyung only felt his breath hitch as he imagine that particular scenario happening in his head.

"There, all done" Jimin said with a satisfied voice and stepped back to admire his handy skill.

"Thank you!" Taehyung exclaimed happily as he felt the secure and firm knot resting against himself.

"So what are you gonna do now?" Jimin asked as he turned to grab a towel and handed it over to Taehyung to dry his hair.

"I think I'll paint" Taehyung mushed to himself as he went over to his suitcase and started rummaging around for his sketchbook.

"Both of you like to paint, huh? How is it like? Shearing a hobby with Jungkook?" Jimin asked curiously as he sat on the other side of the bed.

Taehyung momentarily stopped in his rummaging as he recalled all the situations he had ended up in after painting with Jungkook.

A shudder ran up his spine as he refused to even go over those memories in his head.

"I felt really shy of my painting when I was painting alongside Jungkook" Taehyung answered the questioned honestly, excluding the part where Jungkook pulled all sorts of things on him.

"Why?" Jimin asked genuinely curious by Taehyung's previous statement.

"Well, how should I put it?" Taehyung wondered out loud as he finally grabbed the sketch book and the supplies he was looking for and joined Jimin on the bed, sitting on the other side.

"He's painting style more sophisticated while mine one is kinda abstract and doesn't always make sense to the common eyes" Taehyung whispered and turned to Jimin.

"If you hold both of our paintings side by side, I'm pretty sure you'd like his painting more unless you have a keen eye out for disoriented and abstract art styles" He said as he held his sketch book open for Jimin to look at his paintings and sketches.

"I'd say your painting style is quite eccentric" Jimin uttered as he observed all the unique sketches and paintings.

"Should I take that as a compliment or..?" Taehyung softly teased while chuckling as he turned the page and opened a blank page.

"I'd say definitely take it as an compliment! I was complimenting you, Taehyung!" Jimin whined and pouted as he thought that Taehyung assumed he'd insulted his art style.

"Yes, thank you for complimenting my painting~" Taehyung gently smiled at Jimin as started sketching on his sketchbook.

Jimin watched Taehyung sketch for a bit with an unsatisfied frown on his face before he spoke once again.

"I think your art style belongs in an art gallery" He said absentmindedly as he watched Taehyung's hands stopped drawing a line midway.

"What did you say?" Taehyung slowly asked Jimin, trying to see if he heard wrong.

Jimin looked up from the sketchbook and at Taehyung,"I think your art style belongs in an art gallery" He repeated, this time more firmly.

"Yeah but why do you think so?" Taehyung asked curiously, his sketch long forgotten.

"Yeah well, like you said, Jungkook's painting style is pleasant to look at, those are the types of paintings that anybody can look at and interpret in their own ways" Jimin tried to explain as he felt Taehyung's full attention on him.

"But your style, it's not something that just anybody can interpret, you actually need artsy people who have spend ages studying these stuffs and only they can truly read into your paintings, thus your paintings definitely belong in an art gallery or art exhibition" He finished sincerely as Taehyung looked at him with gratitude in his eyes.

"Thank you for saying that, it means a lot to me" Taehyung whispered softly as he slowly closed the sketchbook.

"Wh-why are you closing it?! Did I offend you somehow?! I'm so-sorry actually I have no sense of art so I-" Jimin started to nervously rant in panic but Taehyung cut him off.

"It's okay, I'm done sketching for today so I'm closing it, I'll do the rest tomorrow" Taehyung softly whispered, putting his hand over Jimin's knee, assuring him everything was alright.

"Oh, thank God, I got scared for a moment there" Jimin sighed in relief as his eyes wandered over to the sake that was resting over the coffee table.

"Hey, Taehyung, do you wanna drink?" Jimin asked staring straight at the bottle of Sake resting on the table.

Taehyung followed Jimin's stare and caught the sight of the Sake.

"Sake? When did it get there?" Taehyung asked as he got down from the bed to go examine the bottle of Sake.

"Minjun had come while you were in the bathroom, he said Granny sent it for us to enjoy" Jimin, who had followed right after Taehyung, replied as he stood beside him.

"Then should we?" Taehyung asked Jimin in a low cautious voice.

"I mean, I'm always up for alcohol" Jimin flashed Taehyung a toothy smile and Taehyung only smiled looking at him.

"Then sit down, I'll pour us some" Taehyung said as he sat down on the loveseat, where he was joined by Jimin soon.

"So...kanpai?" Taehyung asked a little unsure as he held up his ceramic cup in front of Jimin.

"Kanpai!" Jimin cheered as their cups clinked with each other and they proceeded to drown the entire beverage down in one go.

"Hey, Taehyung? You're not feeling uncomfortable right?" Jimin asked as he turned towards Taehyung.

Jimin was lying on the left side of the bed while Taehyung occupied the right side, a wall of pillows obstructing them from touching each other.

"I just need something to hug please" Taehyung softly whined in an exhausted voice, clearly he couldn't handle his alcohol very well.

Jimin smiled at the adorable frown that occupied Taehyung's face.

The room was dark, it was past eleven, cold wind was entering the room from the window as an aftermath of the thunderstorm.

"Do you wanna hug me? I can remove these upper two pillows" Jimin offered, feeling kinda guilty that it was him who insisted that Taehyung should leave his plushie behind.

"Yes, please.." Taehyung mumbled under his breath as he suddenly removed the blankets from over him,"It's getting hot..." Taehyung whispered as he uncomfortably twisted and turned on the bed, sweat was already breaking on his forehead.

After Taehyung mentioned it, Jimin could also feel his body heat increasing, he merely dismissed the idea thinking that it was just the side effect of drinking Sake.

Removing the two pillows from the upper side of the barrier, Jimin stretched his arms open so Taehyung could hug him as he liked.

Taehyung tried to sleep while hugging Jimin but the heat was just too much, on the other hand Jimin had started to feel uncomfortable by then as well.

Taehyung suddenly retreated his hands away and sat up on the bed, panting desperately for air.

Seeing Taehyung taking long, desperate breaths, Jimin sat up as well, his eyes filled with worry,"Tae? Are you okay? Do you want to take a bath?" He asked out in concern.

"N-no, I'm just feeling really uncomfortable..." Taehyung whispered looking the other way, his face was flushed and his breathing was ragged.

"Are you sure you're not sic-" Jimin started as he sat up but stopped midway.

There was an erection forming under Taehyung's bathrobe.

Taehyung must have felt Jimin's eyes on his private part as he quickly got down from the bed.

"I-I just need to use th-the bathroom..." He whispered, blood rushing up to his cheeks while his back faced Jimin.

"I-..yeah, okay" Jimin uttered feeling a bit stunned as he watched Taehyung slowly rounding the bed, Taehyung was trying his hardest not to meet Jimin's eyes.

However, Jimin's gaze was constantly grounded on Taehyung, just as he was about to reach out for the knob of the door, Jimin spoke up again.

"Wa-want me to help?!" Jimin shuttered and panicked as he asked the question aloud, his cheeks turning red with embarrassment as well.

"N-no! It's okay, I-I can help myself!" Taehyung denied in embarrassment as he felt angry at his body who couldn't find any other time to pop an erection.

"No-I..." Jimin started and stopped making Taehyung curious as he turned his head a little to look at Jimin's direction.

"You...?" Taehyung urged Jimin to continue with a timid voice.

"I need to use the bathroom as well.." Jimin whispered as he removed the blanket away from himself, revealing his own erection.

Taehyung slowly turned away from the bathroom door and leaned on the wall, lowering his gaze down to the floor,"Do you want to go fi-first?" He asked in a meek voice.

Jimin chuckled under his breath after hearing that,"Wouldn't it be cruel to make you wait then?" He asked with a divert smile on his face.

Taehyung looked up, directly meeting Jimin's awaiting stare as the indication of that sentence sunk in.

"I-I don't mind waiting" Taehyung whispered, he could feel his cheeks burning as he uttered each syllable.

"Are you sure?" Jimin asked as he got down from the bed and started stepping towards Taehyung,"I don't mind helping out" He whispered as he caged Taehyung on the wall.

Taehyung bit down on his lips and gripped the fabric of the bathrobe tighter,"This is wrong" He whispered.

Jimin stared at him in confusion,"Wrong? How so?" He asked in an uncertain voice.

"You have Jungkook...you li-like him, you shouldn't be proposing things like these, this isn't fair on him" Taehyung said, his stomach churning painfully as bile raised up to his mouth.

What was he doing? Jimin was finally willing to move on to a step further than kissing but here he was, refusing Jimin, his legal husband, from doing it.

Taehyung tried to reason it to himself that he was only against this interaction because Jimin was emotionally attached to Jungkook.

But little did he know, he only refused the advances of Jimin because he had gotten too used to it always being Jungkook approaching him like this.

"Taehyung...?" Jimin asked out, a little stunned that Taehyung had dragged in Jungkook at a time like that and slowly leaned away from him.

Taehyung was feeling horrible inside, his only responsibility was to take care of Jimin's every wish and need but that day he failed to do so.

"You should use the bathroom, I'll go back to my old room and spend the night there" Taehyung quietly whispered, preferring to look anywhere but at Jimin's face.

"Wha-what about Grandma..?" Jimin shuttered a little in his speech, Taehyung could tell he had pressed some buttons down by saying Jungkook's name in a situation like this.

"I'll make sure I don't get noticed.." Taehyung said stepped away from the wall, heading towards the exit.

Stepping outside of the room, Taehyung turned to grab the knob of the door and looked up at Jimin standing in the middle of the room, facing away from him.

"Goodnight, Jimin" Taehyung whispered guiltily and closed the door.

Being outside the room, Taehyung sighed, he had no idea where he was supposed to go now, his old room was located in the servant's area, there's no way he could sneak in without being noticed.

He faced away from the path that was supposed to lead him to the servant's area and looked at the open field, all muddy and watery due to the thunderstorm.

However, right on the other side of that vast field, was the guest quarters and no one was guarding it.

If he could manage to wake up at four in the morning and get out of there no one will find out where he had been all night.

Taehyung just needed a bathroom and a place to stay the night, he really hoped Jungkook would still let him in even after the the upsetting episode they had a few hours ago.

And that was how Taehyung found himself, in front of the guest quarters again for that night.

The lights were off and the window was open just like it had been there pervious time.

So with dirty feet and mud splashes adorning the lower part of his bathrobe, he climbed into the guest quarters and hoped for the best.
