THE SUN was out but helped little with the cold breeze blowing through seoul as fall months approached. those already at the warehouse waited patiently for the one in charge as he seemed to not return back when he said he would.

"how could you lose him?" the short boy was still in his pajamas, subtle bags under his eyes from staying up all night. the pillow and blanket on the floor of the lab were just there in case he decided to sleep. it didn't happen.

the older one just sighed, rubbing at his eyes again and trying to stop the worried boy from pacing. "this isn't the first time he's done this." namjoon tried to explain.

jimin wasn't hearing it though. his slippers kept sliding on the floor as he turned to pace back in front of his computers, all open with various programs and networks from the last weeks work. "we don't need a rogue jungkook right now, not when we're this far in." he kept looking at the glass doors as if they would slide open any second and his best friend would walking in with that same cheeky smirk and messy bangs.

"you know he's not rogue." namjoon said. this was something that the shorter boy didn't want to think about, to deal with when it's something they already been through. "the kid is really sweet, i see why jungkook likes him."

"jungkook doesn't like people." jimin was quick to cut him off. the frown on his face deepened and he settled with angrily typing on his keyboard. "he likes me and he likes stealing things." he said.

there was never getting through to the boy when he was like this, upset or bothered by some aspect he couldn't control. jimin hated not being able to manipulate things the way he wanted, why couldn't people just come with remotes or keyboards. it'd be so much easier knowing what's going on in their heads.

if he could, then maybe he'd stop worrying. jimin would be able to know that his best friend was happy, sleeping in for the first time in months next to someone he couldn't take his eyes off once he woke. jimin would see the ravenette pulling the covers up further to their shoulders after noticing goosebumps on the brunettes arm — and he'd see the kiss left on the corner of the sleeping boys mouth.

"wake up." jungkook whispered. his arms were still snug around the boys waist, their noses now brushes as he leaned closer to kiss his cheek again. "tae, baby."

while laying so close, he could see the little shadows of this boys eyelashes on his cheeks, the soft little breaths from his parted lips hitting the youngers chin. "i'll make breakfast." jungkook tried again.

taehyungs eyelashes fluttered open at that, "bagels?" he was hopeful.

"i know you like strawberry cream cheese."

"heck yeah!" taehyung pushed the covers off the both of them scrambled off the mattress. the other boy just chuckled quietly and pulled himself away from the warm sheets, bare feet hitting the cold wood floors and following the older out to the kitchen part of the suite.

the brown bag sat on the marble countertop of the kitchen counter. a note lay beside it from whichever worker brought it up and wished taehyung a nice morning as always. there was also a mention of meeting with his father, but he just disregarded that and focused on the food first.

"i ordered it from the phone, i hope you don't mind." jungkook said, he pulled a few bills out from the pocket of his jacket laying on the stool and left the cash on the counter. "i didn't want to leave the bed just yet to pick something up."

the brunette glanced at the money and shrugged, "kook, do you think i need that?" he set the bagels down and pulled out the cream cheese as well, "i can afford a small breakfast."

a frowned formed on his face, and jungkook cleared his throat a little, trying to ignore the twinge of annoyance in his chest. "that's not the point." he said.

it wasn't suppose to come out like that. taehyung winced realizing how snobby he sounded. jungkook was just being kind, and thoughtful, and literally behaving like someone he wished he hung around and didn't expect him to pay since he could afford it. "wait, no kook-" god he was never good at saving himself, "that's not what i meant." taehyungs hands rested on the taller boys hip bones, a frown matching his as he blinked up.

jungkook smiled softly and kissed the boy on his forehead. "i know. we're both adjusting." he said. if that statement wasn't true, neither of them would ever know what was. merging their lifestyles was going to be difficult, but it wasn't something they dwelled on, not yet at least.

he hummed, still feeling bad and messing with the hem of jungkooks sweatpants, his forehead was nearly resting against bare chest and all the raven haired male could see was the top of messy brown curls. "hey, tae baby." he reached up to cup the boys cheeks, "it's okay."

taehyung still seemed unsure, but he managed a smile and accepted the kiss planted on his pouting lips. the smile was soon genuine, and a little giggled followed as jungkook kept kissing his lips and tickling his sides. "kookie!" he shrieked and tried to get away from the boys too strong grip, "stop- i cant, no no, ah!" taehyung was a giggling mess, kisses long forgotten as their laughs filled the space instead. jungkook stopped the assault and wrapped his arms around the boy to lift him in a tight hug.

"i think your laugh is my favorite." he said, their noses bumping lightly.

"i think you're my favorite." taehyung said, pecking the boys lips before hugging him tightly back. the warmth spreading in his chest only made his smile grow, content with this whole morning and interactions that just seemed to be so normal.

jungkook never pictured himself being like this again, so carefree and domestic with someone he knew he cared about. he did it once, he moved on, and he locked all those feelings away. it only took taehyung a few words and a few smiles to unlock that part of him, slipping inside and lighting his days with a new brightness that jungkook wanted to hold tighter onto. but he let go, for now, setting the brunette back down and nudging him gently towards the counter. "eat up." he said.

the two grabbed their share of the breakfast, sitting down on the couch together with their thighs touching and stomachs soon full.

"i can get more, if you want." jungkook was already about to grab his keys seeing the smaller boys empty plate. he should have ordered more, maybe fruit.

"no, no," taehyung took his hand and pulled him back down on the couch. "it was good, thank you."

they sat for a second, just holding hands and tracing random patterns on exposed skin. the silence was too nice to break — and maybe if they stayed in it a little longer they could pretend they didn't have lives to go back to.

"my dad wants to meet with me later."

nevermind. they both had priorities. jungkook just hummed and thought about what he had to get done as well, things that were well needed, things people depended on him for. he grimaced a little at the responsibility he had to get back to, and the lecture that would follow from not checking back in at the warehouse last night.

"call me when you can." he just said, giving the boys hand a squeeze before they both stood. "i have some-" jungkook hesitated as he tried to pick the right words, "stuff to do also."

"right."

"right." jungkook repeated. his hands dropped to his sides and he went to get his jacket, he was still shirtless and should attempt to look a little nice as he left through the fancy lobby. "i'll see you later then, taehyung."

he was at the door now, but the smaller boys feet frozen in place. taehyung watched him walk away and panic rose in his chest. god why did the guy have to make him so nervous all the time. just do it.

"wait!" taehyung caught him at the suites door, a hand on his forearm to keep him from stepping out completely. and then he wished all his courage to show up right then, just as he stepped up on his tip toes to press their lips together one more time.

the smile on jungkooks face made him feel better about kissing him, soon his hands were on his waist and his tongue poking into his mouth. neither of them could even think back to the days where this feeling between them was scary and they even considered proceeding with caution. taehyung gripped the raven hair and moaned softly into his mouth — jungkook bit down gently and rigged on the boys bottom lip, completely obsessed with the sounds he made. and they both dove right in, head and hearts first into this feeling or completely satisfaction and adoration for the one right in front of them.
