"Tae, can you hand me that bag? I'll load it in the car."

Since it was Saturday, their -more like Jeongguk's- plan was all ready and the boy seemed ecstatic to leave. 

Getting the last stuff they needed, they locked the door and hopped in the vehicle, immediately turning on the music and driving off, listening to the instructions of the Google's route planner every now and then.

Taehyung sat shotgun, watching Jeongguk drive using his very subtle -not so subtle- side eye.

He cleared his throat, "So, how tall is that tower, anyway?"

"The very top, which, we are definitely going to reach, is about six hundred metres."

Suppressing the urge to scream
"Stop the car! Either go back or make an additional turn for therapy," he went with "Oh, uhuh. Cool, cool." instead. He packed his entire collection of underwear anyway.

Jeongguk, sensing his anxiety, chuckles. He put one hand on top of his best friend's arm, his other resting on the steering wheel. "It's going to be fine. I promise. And if you feel like taking a break during it, we can! I'm not forcing you, I just really want to help you."

Taehyung bit his lip, eyes scanning his surroundings as they passed more and more trees, a small town every now and then.

"We're here!" Jeongguk announced, parking the car right in front of a motel.

"Finally!" He exclaimed, stepping out of the car feeling somewhat sore. Together they unloaded a few bags, carrying them inside.

"Good afternoon, do you guys have a reservation?" The lady behind the reception desk beamed.

"Yeah we do, it's on the name Jeon." He smiled, glancing at the brunette who was too busy looking around the place.

"Here's the key, I have you guys all checked in and ready to go. I hope you enjoy your stay!"

Thanking the woman, Jeongguk grabbed a hold of Taehyung's arm and dragged him towards the elevator.

"You're going to love it, I'm sure of it." He winked, which made the brunette gulp and blink once, twice, trying to process-

"What are you waiting for? Come on!"

Oh, right, he still had to get out of the-

"Coming, 'm coming." He dashed after him, lifting a bag and hanging it on his shoulder.

Once they stepped inside, Taehyung's mouth formed an 'O' shape.

"Am I that hot?" Jeongguk teased, flicking the brunette's chin.

Yes.

"No, you wish. I'm just flabbergasted, this place looks amazing. Why the hell did you decide to spend so much money?"

Jeongguk laughed, leaving the bags in the middle of the room and jumping on the bed.

Wait.

Bed?

Where did the plural form go-

Taehyung froze in realisation.
"That's a big bed." He went with, instead of asking "Why didn't you ask for two separate beds, like in our dorm?"

"Hmh, and it's comfy too- damn, wish our dorm had this instead of what we have now."

Wait what-

Taehyung slowly stepped forward, sitting on the edge of the bed awkwardly. He felt like a stupid teenage girl with a dumb crush, flustered at every little thing.

They sat in a heavy silence for a few moments, that was until the brunette felt an arm wrap around his neck, having him in a chokehold whilst being pulled backwards. His hair got ruffled playfully and suddenly Jeongguk manoeuvred himself on top of him -keep breathing Tae, keep breathing- starting to tickle him everywhere.

Trying to contain his laughter, Taehyung tried to defend himself, now both of the males play wrestling on the bed.

This went on for longer than expected, until a knock on the door stopped them.
Jeongguk averted his gaze to the door, suddenly jumping up when he remembered.

Almost getting disappointed at the loss of contact, Taehyung sat up, agreeing with how comfortable the bed is internally. He watched as his friend opened the door, exchanging a few words and coming back towards him with snacks and drinks.

"Seriously? You ordered room service?" He chuckled.

"Damn right I did. Here," a can flew towards him, catching it with one hand he saw that it had alcohol mixed in it.

"Let's get wasted!" Jeongguk practically yelled, happily grabbing more cans from the bag that got handed to him and sitting back down on the bed.

"I don't want to wake up tomorrow morning with a huge hangover and a terrible headache, Gguks. Especially not because of what we're going to do.."

Jeongguk wiggled his eyebrows,
"It's easier when you're a bit tipsy. The fear won't get to you as bad."

Scoffing playfully, Taehyung gulped the rest of his can down.

────────────────

A decent amount of cans later, both males found themselves engrossed in some random movie that was playing on TV.

The brunette knew Jeongguk was a little more than tipsy, but not awfully drunk yet. He himself had a good alcohol tolerance, it took more than what he had to get to Jeongguk's state.

Honestly, he started thinking so much he was blankly staring at the TV screen, all up in his own head.

He turned his head slightly, looking -more like staring- at his best friend.

The background music seemed to change into something more sensual, but he was too busy staring at Jeongguk to notice. Only when he looked back at him and their eyes met, he snapped back to reality.

"That was a very gay thing to do, Taehyung~"

Oh you don't say.

"Tsk, shut up." He muttered back in response, trying to calm himself down. He mumbled a very quiet "-that's cause I am," after it, surely Jeongguk didn't hear that.

Feeling his neckhairs prickling in his neck, he could feel Jeongguk's stare burn through his face.

He smirked, looking back at him.
"Now who's acting gay? Am I that hot?" He teased, mimicking the other's earlier words.

"Yeah."

Taehyung's ears were fooling him. This was it, he has gone crazy. But he swore he saw Jeongguk's lips move.

"W-what?" He nearly sqeaked.

That's when Jeongguk smirked, getting closer, and Taehyung knew the alcohol had him in his grasp. This wasn't Jeongguk; purely the alcohol its doings. The male probably confused him for some random donut right now. He must be.

Taehyung slowly backed away a little as the male gradually got closer and closer, raising a brow.

"Gguks, you're drunk. What are you doing?"

The male suddenly got pushed down to the bed, the ravenette hovering on top of him, his face dangerously close.

Now, this was an image that normally only played in Taehyung's head, knowing it wouldn't ever happen. Yet here he was, his breath fanning his skin and the smell of alcohol prominent.

"I really want to try something, Taehyung. Will you lay still for me?"

The teasing yet awfully dominant tone in Jeongguk's voice made him shiver. He could only nod dumbly.

"Good boy," Jeongguk breathed, causing goosebumps to appear all over Taehyung's skin.

What the fuck was happening?
If he knew this was going to happen, he would've planned this trip years ago.

Is he even aware of the fact that I'm a male donut? The alcohol must be fogging up his mind, he doesn't know what he is saying.

"I've been meaning to do this for a while, Taehyung. You always look at me in a certain way, that makes me want to kiss you right on the spot."

And Taehyung was a goner.

His eyes were trained on the male above of him, curiosity growing in the pit of his stomach. Or, perhaps that was something else- in either case, he awaited his next moves patiently.

Their eyes didn't leave each other, and the moment Jeongguk's lips met Taehyung's, both males seemed to freeze.

Taehyung, however, froze for an entirely different reason than Jeongguk.

Jeongguk slowly started to move his lips, purely testing the waters. He had never ever in his life kissed the same gender, and the moment their lips connected he seemed to sober up more than he anticipated. It was the alcohol that gave him the courage and curiosity, but now he wasn't so sure why the hell he decided to do it.

But when Taehyung moved back, syncing their actions, rational thoughts somehow left his body. The sensual music in the background made them act needier; the moment Jeongguk's tongue swiped over his bottom lip, Taehyung flipped them around, trying to dominate instead at which Jeongguk groaned out.

Grabbing a fistful of hair, Jeongguk moved to sit up, trying to regain his previous position. At this point hands were everywhere, the kiss turned from passionate to sloppy in a matter of seconds.

Taehyung let himself fall back on the bed once again, his heart thumping wildly in his chest. Did this mean Jeongguk sees him the way he saw him all along?
Does the boy really have mutual feelings?

Their tongues rubbed against each other, strings of saliva connecting them. Jeongguk bit and pulled on Taehyung's bottom lip, their hips accidentally moving towards each other which caused both of them to let out a low moan.

But before things could escalate even further, the previously sensual music abruptly changed into one of some random advertisment, 'Hakuna Matata' now loudly beaming through the room.

Jeongguk pulled back, almost sending himself flying backwards. His eyes widened -what the hell got into him?-
his face paled drastically.

Taehyung sat up, looking at Jeongguk who was the complete opposite of the meaning of the song that just had to ruin their moment, which caused his stomach to drop.

Fuck. Did he regret it?
Was their friendship over?

He wanted to ask, but the shocked look on Jeongguk's face unfortunately told him everything, giving away all the answers to his unasked questions.

"I-it's late. We should head to bed. I just need to go to the bathroom real quick."

With that, Taehyung's heart sunk as well, following his stomach's earlier actions, as he watched the male dash away.
