Third Person's P.O.V :-

Taehyung had no idea what to do in that moment. The situation was far too intimate for him to even think clearly.

"Taehyung?" Jimin spelled out his name as his nose nuzzled in the crook of Taehyung's neck,"Say something" He urged pulling Taehyung deeper into the embrace. Both of them getting wet under the shower stream.

Taehyung was instantly reminded of Jungkook and how he did the same gesture multiple times. He really liked smelling Taehyung's neck.

Taehyung's eyes widened as realization drawn upon him. What was he thinking?! He was with his husband and he was thinking about someone else! He gulped down the lump in his throat, he was anything but in the state to voice out an answer.

"Taehyung" Jimin whispered out again, his voice deep and raspy. Taehyung felt another shiver running down his spine.

He needed to speak up now. The internal conflict and the intimate atmosphere, this was too much for his poor heart. He could already hear his heartbeat ringing in his ears.

"Ma-maybe we should ke-keep them o-on" He shuttered out, nervous to the core.

He had no idea how Jimin would react, would he become angry? Sulky? Upset?

Taehyung definitely didn't want to upset Jimin but at the same he just wasn't comfortable with being naked in front of Jimin at the moment.

His problematic feelings aside, he was also consumed with physical insecurities.

Taehyung heard Jimin chuckle behind him,"Keep the clothes on?" He asked, the mirth still present in his voice,"You can't clean yourself that way" He added as he stepped back a few steps, his eyes fixed on that specific part of Taehyung's nape which just seemed to get reder and reder by the second.

"I-I'll clean myself in the afternoon" Taehyung stated out his solution, feeling a bit proud for coming up with a good excuse.

"Hmm~ but I need to clean myself, you see" Jimin spoke out in a teasing manner as he slowly pulled the ends of the knob tying his robe together.

Splash!

Taehyung heard the sound of something wet hitting the floor. Looking downwards he saw a white silk robe, identical to the one he was wearing, pooled around Jimin's feet.

Taehyung felt the world freeze around him.

Jimin was standing naked behind him. Watching him. Probably waiting for him to turn around and make a move.

Taehyung clenched his fist, digging his nails inside his palm. He desperately needed to keep his curiosity in check.

"You can look at me" Jimin stated, putting an intruding finger on top of Taehyung spine and dragging it down slowly,"You're my husband after all" He whispered, eyes focused on the path of his finger.

Husband. Jimin was Taehyung's husband. The husband Taehyung was cheating on.

Taehyung's chest started to hurt. Everything was just too much for him. How did he screw up that bad? He had no answer.

"W-we should hurry" Taehyung spoke out nervously, trying his best to change the subject,"I think they'd make your favorite food today, we don't want the food to get cold, mistress will be very upset" He rambled out in a hurry, the situation far too intimate for him to keep his cool.

Taehyung heard Jimin laugh heartily behind him as he momentarily felt Jimin's forehead resting on his shoulder.

"Cute" Jimin giggled and wrapped his around Taehyung's waist again,"Hmm, now that you put it that way, maybe we should hurry" Jimin mused out.

Taehyung's eye lit up, he successfully managed to get himself out of the situation!

"Would you mind shampooing my hair, Taehyung?"

Or maybe he did not.

"I slept in a weird position, my arms hurt, Taehyungie" Jimin playfully whined with a pout on his face,"shampoo my hair, please?" He asked again, the playfulness never leaving his voice.

"Bu-but you're..." Taehyung shuttered,"No-not wearing a-anything" He blushed harder. Somehow saying it out loud felt way more embarrassing than just being aware of the fact.

"You can just close your eyes you know~" Jimin provided a solution within seconds,"Unless you wanna look~" He spelled out in a singsong manner.

It's just shampoo, a harmless request, after that he'd be out of there and won't have to face the complicated feelings anymore. He could do that.

Mustering up his courage, Taehyung grabbed the bottle of shampoo before finally closing his eyes tightly and turning around.

He felt the hold around his waist loosening and hands leading his hands to Jimin's head.

Squeezing the substance, he let his muscle memories guide as he worked in complete darkness.

"It's done" He whispered a few minutes later, much more relaxed now than earlier.

"Thank you, that was very relaxing, I'm convinced your fingers have magic in them" Taehyung heard Jimin say and smiled proudly.

However, the smile faltered a bit just as he remembered how Jungkook always seemed to enjoy his head scrubs whenever he was sick.

"I-I'm glad you enjoyed it" He said and stepped back a little,"There's a towel in the rack, you can use that to wrap around yourself while stepping out" He instructed without any difficulties, not having to meet Jimin's eyes made things a lot easier for him.

"But I wanna return the favor"

Taehyung frowned, his eyes still firmly closed,"Return...?" He asked, feeling confused.

Did Jimin want to wash his hair as well?

"Let me wash your back, I promise I'll keep my eyes closed and won't peep!" Jimin proposed hopefully.

"I..." Taehyung started feeling like the complicated feeling returning to him again,"I'm sorry, I can't...I'm in-insecure about my body" He said in lamentation, technically it wasn't a lie, he did suffer from insecurities regarding his body.

Taehyung didn't know what type of response he was expecting but he got visibly tense when he was only greeted with silence in answer.

Did he make Jimin upset? Taehyung mentally scolded himself, maybe he should have just gone with the flow since the beginning.

If Jimin was upset with him, the clan mistress would surely notice and things would only become harder for Taehyung.

Taehyung bit the inner side of his lips, feeling hopeless. Every time he thought he had things under control, things spiralled out of control the next second.

Just this morning he decided that he'd focus back on his marriage again and here he was unable to stop thinking about Jungkook.

It's as if the entire universe was laughing at him.

"Don't say that" Taehyung heard Jimin say as his wrist was brought upto Jimin's face.

A gentle kiss was placed upon his palm as he felt another hand pulling him closer by the neck.

Another soft kiss was placed on his forehead.

"You are very beautiful to me, and I want you to be aware of that" Jimin gently whispered, his lips still brushing against Taehyung's forehead,"I hope you see yourself from my eyes someday, you're the most beautiful person I've ever seen, Taehyung" He whispered and leaned away.

"Come out when you're done, I'll go change in the meantime" He informed and stepped outside of the shower cubicle.

Click.

Taehyung opened his eyes just as he heard the bathroom door clicking shut.

He was glad the shower was running, it masked the tears that were slipping down his face.

Jimin was such a wonderful person and Taehyung wanted to be with him. He wanted to stay with him and grow old with him.

So then why was his heart just so against the idea of being intimate with him?

Taehyung felt sick to his stomach thinking about the day Jimin would find out about him and Jungkook.

He just couldn't let that happen.

He'd do anything to keep that information hidden away from Jimin's knowledge.

Even if it meant lying about his feelings.
