27| hurt

taehyung was back in his room inside of bts' mansion, puffing his cheeks in boredom. everyone was happy to see him again, greeted him with big hugs and kisses on cheeks and forehead. and he was glad that everyone seemed fine and unharmed.

jeongguk wasn't there though.

taehyung had asked seokjin where he was, but the male only answered with a 'i don't know, he's busy', same goes for namjoon who answered with 'he is here somewhere, but he could be anywhere'.

taehyung would've searched for him , if this building wasn't as big as a castle.

okay not that big, but big.

a knock on taehyung's door made him sit up again and he hoped to find jeongguk standing there.

it was just jimin though.

taehyung pouts.

"tae, jeongguk wants to see you."

taehyung jumped up.

"oh finally? he isn't bUsY anymore?" the blond crossed his arms, pouting. "where is he?"

"his office." jimin smiled lightly, when taehyung speed walked out of his room.

jimin gasped surprised, when he felt two arms snake around his waist and blushed. "is he going to jeongguk?" yoongi asked and jimin nodded, turning around to look at his fiancé.

"yep, he is."

"gguk should rest though." the older male said and jimin sighed. "he should, but he wanted to see taehyung so badly. it's cute."

"i.. i don't know, i'm scared he'll hurt taehyung." yoongi said in a quiet voice.

taehyung hesitantly knocked on jeongguk's office door. he was definitely nervous, he was still so unsure with his feelings. like he knows he loves jeongguk, that he has fallen for him, but does the older love him too? or at least genuinely like him?

"come in." he heard a faint, familiar voice say and pushed the door open.

he locks eyes with jeongguk and his breath immediately hitched a little, his heart beat faster, he bit tears back, realizing how much he had actually missed seeing the older. whatever in his mind was telling him to stay away from jeongguk— it's getting overplayed with what his heart is telling him. run to him.

and that's exactly what he did, running over to the male that by now also stood up from his chair and opened his arms for him. the moment taehyung was in jeongguk's familiar arms, both felt warm and content.

taehyung pressed himself against jeongguk's broad chest, inhaling the familiar scent of the older, while jeongguk nuzzled his nose in the smaller's hair.

a small period of time passed with no words exchanged, until jeongguk decided to break the silence and speak up. "i missed you."

his voice sent a comfortable shiver down taehyung's spine and he smiled lightly. "i missed you too... but where were you the whole day, i've been back since noon."

jeongguk hummed. "i was occupied with something, i'm sorry princess."

taehyung wanted to squeal, loving the petname jeongguk uses for him.

"i called my sister today."

jeongguk tensed. "what?"

taehyung raised an eyebrow at how quiet jeongguk's voice was. "yeah, she isn't as bad as i thought. she agreed to tell the police that j'm fine." taehyung smiled to himself, but his smile fell when he looked at jeongguk's plain expression. he seemed to be deep in thoughts. taehyung has seen this before. this look, the depth in jeongguk's eyes. it was on one of his first days here, when he saw this look in his face for the first time.

when taehyung mentioned that jeongguk probably kills innocent people.

he softly placed his hand on jeongguk's cheek, but the older flinched lightly, making him retract his hand again.
"hey, is everything alright?" the blond asked quietly.

this seemed to snap the older out of his thoughts. "i'm fine... i just don't want her to hurt you."

taehyung raised an eyebrow, but didn't want jeongguk to push jeongguk to tell him.

"i think she's really sorry. she apologized a million times." taehyung smiled softly. "thank you so much."

he then let go of jeongguk, both smiling to each other. "i'm gonna go again, you should finish what you were doing."

"wait... stay here, if you want to." the mafia leader pleaded. taehyung thought for a little but agreed with a light nod. "if i'm not a distraction."

"oh you already failed with this." jeongguk chuckled and taehyung huffed, hitting his tummy, causing jeongguk to hiss and place his arms around it. taehyung didn't even hit hard.

the blond's eyes widened. "a-are you alright?" he asked worriedly. jeongguk just nodded. "i'm fine, don't worry." he sat down, but he still seemed to be in pain.

taehyung walked to him. "y-you're hurting."

"i'm fine, princess, really." it didn't look like that though.

"don't move." taehyung said and jeongguk looked at him, a deep sigh leaving his lips.

taehyung bend forward a little, grabbing the hem of jeongguk's shirt. "it's fine baby, it's okay." the ravenette reassured.

taehyung gasped when he lifted the shirt up a little and saw the side of jeongguk's lower tummy covered in white bandages, tinted in a light red on some spots. "j-jeon what happened?"

jeongguk placed his hand on taehyung's smaller ones and pushed them down, covering his skin with his shirt again. "it's okay, tae. really."

taehyung shook his head, grabbing jeongguk's hand. "is that why you were away the whole day?" taehyung pouted sadly and jeongguk chuckled.

"yes, i'm fine though."

"no, you're hurting."

"no, i'm not, tae." jeongguk adjusted his posture a little.

"you are."

"no i ain't."

"so it doesn't hurt?" taehyung asked again.

"no, it doesn't."

taehyung chuckled. "so you wouldn't mind when i—" taehyung placed his foot on the spot jeongguk's wound was and applied some pressure on it. jeongguk groaned in pain and glared at the smaller, who smirked.

"c'mon jeon, what's wrong?" jeongguk grabbed taehyung's foot, prying it off of himself.

he gritted his teeth at the younger. "it doesn't hurt, right?"

jeongguk just got up, ignoring the pain and grabbed taehyung with one hand by his throat, pulling him closer, clashing their lips together.

taehyung immediately gave in, his arms wandering around jeongguk's neck, while the older had his hands holding taehyung's neck.

their lips acted on their own, matching their shapes perfectly, fitting like made just for the other to taste.

taehyung didn't know that he had missed this— the softness of jeongguk's lips, his arms around him, his tattooed hand tucked in his hair.

jeongguk soon pushed his tongue inside of taehyung's mouth, tilting his head to the side and deepening the kiss. his hands moved down to taehyung's thighs, where he picked the younger up, sitting him on the table— pain forgotten.

taehyung's lungs were burning because of the lack of air and as much as he didn't want to cut off, he needed to, taking a deep breath right after.

forehead on forehead, they remained close like that, heavy breaths brushing each other. "you know jeon... you don't have to hide that you're hurt from me."

jeongguk looked at taehyung for a short time. damn, the blond really broke through his mask, the facade really no one had ever broken through.

"i... know."

"so does it hurt?" taehyung asked, giggling.

"fucking hell it does, i feel like passing out!" he laughed and took a seat on his chair.

the mafia boss that always showed off to be the strongest, isn't afraid of being weak in front of this blonde angel.

and with the time passing, jeongguk gets more and more sure about his feelings towards the younger. he is falling in love, he fucking knows it, he feels it. "you should rest a little, princess, it was a long day for you."

taehyung smiled. "you should go to sleep to, it's late and sleep will do your wound good. what did actually happen?"

"i got shoot by one of choi's men." he shrugged and taehyung sucked a deep breath in. "i'm sorry you got hurt because of me."

jeongguk chuckled. "i'll take anything in compensation to the pain i caused to you. i'm really sorry taehyung— i promise i won't hurt you anymore."

taehyung blinked more than necessary. "i... already forgave you for everything jeon." he smiled lightly. there was a short silence between them two, neither of them wanted to say something, but also neither of them wanted to keep it quiet like this.

"are you tired?" the ravenette asked.

taehyung smiled lightly. "actually, no... are you?"

"no."

taehyung hummed.

"tae... would you like to go on a walk with me?"
