The house was enveloped in silence when Jungkook finally returned. He saw the living room empty which made him sigh in relief.

He wasn't planning on returning that night, however, he's feeling uneasy to leave the doctor alone after what had happened earlier.

The ravenette silently made his way to the kitchen, careful not to make any sound. His movements were halted as soon as he saw the kitchen counter, memories of what transpired flash in his mind.

He sighed, remembering the hurt expression in the doctor's face when he rejected him.

Damn.

He felt like an asshole for making him feel unwanted. If only he knew...

He sighed once more as he walked towards the door leading to the basement.

Jungkook went in front of the monitors as soon as he got in, eyes quickly landing on the screen that shows the inside of the bedroom.

He could see the doctor on top of the bed, the duvet covering his entire body from his head down to his toes. He's in fetus position, looking like a worm inside a cocoon.

The ravenette subconsciously lifted his finger on the screen, tracing and caressing the doctor's figure as if he's lulling him to sleep.

If only he could be with him, he would embrace him in his arms and caress his soft locks in his hand until he fell asleep.

He would kiss him without inhibitions and cradle his body softly next to his.

He would make him feel safe and secured for as long as he's by his side.

He would love him... and only him.

However, those things will just remain a dream to an assassin like him.

He couldn't afford to fall in love and have someone by his side without putting him in danger.

He couldn't make him feel safe and secured with the kind of life that he has.

He couldn't promise to love him and only him because he couldn't even love himself.

These were the reasons why he chose to walk away and reject him even though deep inside, he's dying to have him in his arms and make him all his.

But he couldn't. Not someone like him.

This is the life that he had chosen. A lonely and dark life that a person such as Kim Taehyung should have never encountered.

The kind of life he won't be able to escape until his death.

--------

Taehyung wouldn't go out of his room unless he's sure that Jungkook wouldn't be around, breathing the same air as him.

He would slowly go out, listening to any sound around the house, trying to make sure that he will not get the chance to come face to face with the ravenette.

This went on for two days and to his surprise, he couldn't help but feel lonely and sad.

If truth be told, Taehyung was embarrassed of how desperate he acted towards the ravenette.

However, who could blame him?

Jungkook is a walking temptation. He's stirring emotions within him that he never knew he could possibly feel and it frustrates him.

What bothered Taehyung even more was the fact that Jungkook likes him as well. Call him delusional, but he's sure as hell that the ravenette feels the same way.

He knows Jungkook wants him just as much. He could feel it in the way he looks at him as if he's someone precious and not just a mere client. His touches were different and warm, sending him over the edge everytime.

Jungkook wants him and he's sure of that, but for whatever reason, he seems to be fighting it off.

This even made Taehyung mad. He wanted answers that only the ravenette could give him.

If he's really not into him, then he should say it to his face, loud and clear. Taehyung will promise to understand and try his best to forget.

But if he wants him as well...

The doctor finally stood from his bed, eyes full of determination as he walked out of his room. He breathed a couple of times, hand gripping his phone before finally deciding to go to the living room.

His eyes scanned the whole place, wanting to find the ravenette and confront him head on. He checked everywhere, even the basement but he couldn't find him.

Taehyung sighed, slumping on the couch. He fumbled through his phone, stopping on the registered contacts.

His thumb settled above Jungkook's number, debating whether to call him or not.

"Whatever." He murmured, blindly pressing.

He bit his lower lip in anxiety, hearing the other line ring. He could feel his heart thumping loudly in his chest, making him chew on his lip even more.

A few more rings and he heard a voice.

"Hello?"

Taehyung blinked a couple of times, his brows knotting in his forehead, hearing a voice that is nowhere near Jungkook's.

"Uhm..Jungkook?" Taehyung asked, unsure.

"Uh, no."

Taehyung's eyes widened. He lifted the phone away from his ears, finally seeing the number on screen.

"Shit." He uttered under his breath, realizing he clicked the number of Jungkook's partner, Yoongi.

"Uh, sorry. I pressed the wrong number." Taehyung said in a soft voice.

He heard a snort from the other line as if the man is laughing at him.

"It's okay. Are you looking for Jungkook?" Yoongi asked.

Taehyung fidgeted on his seat at the question. "Uhm.. Yeah. But it's okay. It's not something urgent." He uttered in a rush.

There was a moment of silence from the other line before he heard Yoongi's voice once more.

"Okay. Jungkook was here earlier, though. He just went out to buy something. Do you want me to tell him anything once he returns?" Yoongi inquired.

Taehyung fiddled on the couch, uncertain. He wanted to say a lot of things, but decided not to. He was about to end the call when he thought of something.

He debated to himself before finally speaking.

"Actually.. could I ask you something?" Taehyung stood, pacing back and forth in the living room.

"Me?" Yoongi sounded amazed. "Yeah, sure." He said afterwards.

Taehyung beamed but held it in. He wanted to know more about Jungkook and there's no better person to ask than his partner who knows him too well.

"You see.. I was wondering if.. you know.. if.." Taehyung scratched his head. He couldn't find the right words to say.

"If?" Yoongi indulged.

"Uh. This is just out of plain curiosity." Taehyung uttered, making the man on the other line chuckle.

"Yeah, sure." Yoongi said.

"Okay. So, I was just curious to know if Jungkook has a family?" He said the last word in a whisper.

"Family? Oh, like mother and father and siblings?" Yoongi asked, amused.

Taehyung shakes his head as if Yoongi could see him. "No.. I already know his parents left him and his brother... died. I was pertaining to his own family.. you know.. like wife or something?" He blushed, suddenly feeling embarrassed for prying.

"Oh." Yoongi muttered in the other line.

Anxiety crept in the doctor's skin when Yoongi took a while to answer.

"Well, he doesn't have those." Yoongi said.

Taehyung almost squealed, his heart thumping off his chest and he felt a sudden rush of relief washing over him.

"Okay. That's.. expected, I guess." Taehyung muttered.

"Yeah. He doesn't have the luxury to have his own family with the kind of work he has. He's not cut out for that." Yoongi uttered, making Taehyung silent.

He contemplated on his words, feeling a bit sad at the thought.

"I guess so." He mumbled, eyes staring at the black screen of the television.

"Why do you ask?" It's Yoongi's turn to ask.

Taehyung bit his lower lip. "Nothing. I was just curious." He answered in a defensive voice.

"Okay." Yoongi said, voice with a hint of humor.

Another awkward silence followed, and Taehyung was about to hang up when Yoongi spoke.

"By the way, you said you already know about Jungkook's family? The parents and brother stuff?" Yoongi asked in an amazed tone.

"Yeah. He told me before." Taehyung answered.

Yoongi hummed. "That's new." He said with a hint of amusement.

Taehyung's interest was piqued. "What do you mean?" He inquired.

"Nothing. It's just that, Jungkook never shares his life story just to anyone. It took me three years or so before he even told me that." Yoongi uttered, making Taehyung's heart beat in a rapid manner.

"Really?" He asked under his breath.

"Yeah." Yoongi plainly said.

Taehyung hummed in response. He fidgeted on his locks, before finally deciding to hang up.

"Thank you for answering and listening to my nonsense." Taehyung said, grinning like a child who had won a ticket to Disney Land.

"Nah. It's nothing." Yoongi uttered.

The doctor hung up with a huge smile on his face. He felt elated, knowing that he's one of the few people Jungkook trusts.

Now, he's sure. He's someone he trusts.. someone who could either be a friend or more.

And Taehyung knows he's more than just a friend.

Because you will never kiss a friend or even give him a hand job.

That's not how it works.

Now he's sure.

Jungkook wants him.

And Taehyung would do anything to make Jungkook his.
