He has been thinking about it for awhile now. What Taehyung asked him about and thought it through. He believes the answer is pretty clear and Taehyung was right,he can't keep hurting both of the men in his life. He needs to get his shit together and end it with one of them.

So that's why he was inside Jake's place. He knew the code so he didn't have to ring the bell. As he entered the apartment, he saw suitcases on the side in the entrance. Remembering how Jake mentioned about going back to the states soon.

It seems He has already started packing. Sighing,paying that no mind, making his way towards the bedroom door when he stopped in his tracks.

Sounds. A lot of them were coming from the bedroom door. Jeongguk is not a kid, he knows those are moans, a bit too clear. It wasn't just his moans; there was someone else too.

Shockingly,he wasn't mad at all. The fact his...boyfriend? he doesn't even know what jake is to him,is fucking someone else doesn't phase him at all.
He grabbed the door handle and opened it immediately, seeing Jake on top of the other person that wasn't visible yet. He was fully naked and was deep into intercourse. The door opening made him immediately pull away and his eyes widened when it met with Jeongguk's.

"Jeongguk!! o-oh my god fuck" He said,covering himself with sheets as if Jeongguk hasn't seen him naked before. He rolled his eyes but then he heard a woman gasping too.

He looked at the person who Jake was fucking and the person shocked him more than the fact Jake is having sex with someone else. He couldn't believe he is fucking a girl and out of everyone it has to be;

"Lily!?! what the fuck are you doing here? oh my god shut up" Jeongguk immediately turned around,not wanting to see his cousin naked than he already has.

She was so panicked she didn't even say anything,too busy trying to put on clothes. Jeongguk just closed the door and told Jake to come out when they are done dressing up.

Walking out of there to the living room and sitting on his couch. Awkwardly waiting for the two of them to come out. Hearing some yelling and a lot of exchanges between the two. After waiting some minutes,Lily came out first. She didn't even try to look at Jeongguk,without saying anything she headed for the door and left Jake's place. "Bitch" He mumbled under his breath.

He is glad she is ashamed at least,and loves to see her being embarrassed. He wonders considering how low she can get if she even fucked Jake because he was Jeongguk's 'boyfriend'.

Soon after her,Jake finally came out. He sat down like on the other couch. He did also look ashamed.

"Seriously,Jake. Out of everyone you could have fucked,you fucked my cousin?" Jeongguk asked him,very nonchalant, about everything.  A bit disgusted at his cousin.

"I am sorry Jeongguk, I didn't mean to cheat on you even though we are not officially dating. She was just eyeing me the whole night the other day at the party and one thing led to another we kind of hooked up that night and today too. I swear you weren't supposed to find out-" He was rambling and Jeongguk wasn't having any of it.

"I had sex with Taehyung" He cut him inbetween,confessing his business so Jake can shut up.

It worked. He was silent for a full five seconds. Processing what he heard came out of Jeongguk's mouth. "You fucked...Taehyung"

"Yes,I did. Which is why I don't care that you are fucking other people,Jake. We are just seeing each other and not dating so you can have sex with other people but the thing is you fucked my cousin, that's fucking weird"

"Sorry okay. How long have you been fucking Taehyung?" He asked him in a serious tone. Confusing Jeongguk.
"Are you mad?"

"No,I just want to know if you ever took me seriously. I know we are not dating but still have you always been fucking other people while we did our thing?" Jake was mad, Jeongguk doesn't know why because it's definitely not because Jeongguk 'cheated' , maybe because it's Taehyung?

"No,I didn't fuck other people ever since we started fucking. The only person who I have been seeing is you and I did take you seriously but I think midway we both realised that we are not meant to date because we did eventually end up sleeping with other people"Jeongguk told him and he saw Jake with his head in his hands.

"I agree we did fall apart and fit more better as fuck buddies But why Taehyung?" He asked him.

"Are you jealous of him? because I don't think this is about me having sex with someone else,it's just something about Taehyung" Jeongguk said and he saw Jake freeze. he was right.

"Fine,fuck OK yes I am fucking jealous of that ex of yours. He is so handsome,rich, has an amazing job and friends. He also has you being so fucking obsessed with him. I am not dumb Jeongguk I have seen how both of you look at eachother so when I saw that defeated look in his eyes when I was with you,I felt happy I am sorry it's petty of me to be like this but I was born this fucking competitive"

"I am not a trophy you can win,Jake. You just made me change my whole image I had in my mind for you. I hope you know Taehyung never had a perfect life. I know you and I know him, He has struggled almost all of his life you can't paint him perfect because of what you see him as. Now you got me wondering if I was ever more than a thing to show off for you" Jeongguk looked at him with disgust. He really didn't like that.

"I am sorry,Jeongguk. I have to admit I did sometimes only like the idea of you. I am really sorry for that. Kinda glad you found me in bed with your cousin because we really aren't going to work out. Is this it for us?" He asked,looking into his eyes getting a cold stare back.

"There was never an us,Jake. We were good as fuckbuddies, we should have stuck to that as this dating thing would have never worked out. Good, we established it before going into that. You are still a friend to me and we can only be that because you helped me out a lot" Jeongguk declared,making Jake nod in defeat.

"You are right. You didn't answer when did you both...rekindle?"

"We fucked in the car,the night I went to have dinner with him. You even called. We then also did it in his place the same night,we also kissed-" he cut jeongguk off,not wanting to hear another word about their adventures.

"I get it,okay. Don't tell me details. Um,do you still love him?..dumb question,i know ofcourse you are" He said,retracting his statement.

Jeongguk chuckles and leans back onto the couch. Getting a bit comfortable. "Yeah..that's why I came here in the first place. I wanted to tell you we are done you know but you had a bigger surprise for me.  I do love him so much but i don't know if I'm ready to forgive him for all the pain he caused me"

"I am not the best person to come to for advice,especially when it's regarding Taehyung,i don't really like him you know that but i do care for you and i know he loves you too so i would say forgive him" he stood up and sat next to Jeongguk,putting his hand on his shoulder.

"Don't wanna be that person but life is really too short,live without regrets because by the time you decide to forgive him he might not even be around anymore. Take that as however you want. You both love each other and that is really unique,Jeongguk. You don't find your soulmate everyday, he fucked up leaving you before but he has been single since and still aches for you,it shows he has no ulterior motives and loves you only. You better than me I would have forgotten everything and gotten back with him but it's good you have more self respect than me" Jake tried to joke around. Making Jeongguk chuckle too,fiddling with his fingers,trying to take all that in.

"You get my point,go to him and give him another chance,I feel you wont regret making this decision" he patted Jeongguk's back,assuring him this was the right decision.

He was taken back when jeongguk suddenly hugged him out of nowhere. Wrapping his arms around Jake,he hugged the other boy back by circling his arms around Jeongguk's neck.

"Thank you,I needed to hear this"

"Ofcourse,as a friend it's my job to help you out" he pulled back from the hug,giving him a soft smile.

"Thank you still,I should go. Got hearts to mend. You better not leave without telling me and stop fucking my cousin,anyone else will do. I can hook you up with some of my other university friends here,just anyone but lily" Jeomgguk said to him as he stood up from the couch,making Jake laugh and roll his eyes.

"I will think about it if your friends are better than her because she is pr-"

"Ahhhh I don't want to hear about it. I will ask and send their number to you"

"Come in" his voice echoed, in his empty office room.

His head held down focused on the keyboard,writing emails to his clients. Too busy to even pay attention to who entered his room. The clicks could be heard from the keyboard from the typing. It took him a second to realise he wasn't alone and someone entered.

His head shot up to meet the familiar doe eyes looking at him with such adoration. A playful smile plastered on his face,chuckling when he finally got Taehyung's attention.

"Jeongguk,You are here"

"I am. I was waiting to see how long it will take you to notice me. Took quite some time upsettingly" he frowned sarcastically,Taehyung chuckled. "Sorry, I was just too immersed into writing these emails"

Jeongguk walked to the sofas in his office and sat down on them. Relaxing when his eyes met with Taehyung,he pointed towards and signalled to him to come here with his hands. "Come here,you need to take a break from all this work and relax a bit"

"But I have to give you a tour of our new product" He said,turning off his computer to go to jeongguk.

"I figured you were too busy so i told Yoongi hyung to not disturb you and he can just give me the tour. Looks really satisfactory but we can talk about that some time later,come" he said to Taehyung who was now walking towards Jeongguk.

He was going to sit next to him when Jeongguk grabbed his hand and pulled him into his lap. The older man was taken back for a second by the sudden act. He rolled his eyes aat how playful he was being.

"Seriously? How are we supposed to talk like this?" He questioned the younger boy who just smiled at him, His one hand grabbing his waist and the other resting on the older boy's lap. It was like he was going to pick him up bridal style but they were sitting. "It's more comfortable like this"

Taheyung got comfortable,moving his hips on his lap and leaned into Jeongguk's chest. His head resting on his shoulder. "You need to stop moving before we have a problem down there" He warned Taehyung.

"Your problem, not mine."

"It will be your problem if you keep moving" He glanced at him with such seductive eyes. Making Taehyung look away before he goes in and kisses him.

"Whatever,you know the night we had sex,i saw a bit of something" Taehyung trailed, he raised his eyebrow in confusion. "What did you see?"

"A tattoo"

"So you saw it,I was thinking how I will bring that up"

"Is it..really my initials? I thought i hallucinated that" he asked and got just a smile from jeongguk. "There's no way...can I see?"

He nodded and took his coat off,throwing it to the other side of the Sofa. He unbuttoned the lower buttons of his the black dress shirt. Taehyung tried not to stare too much at his toned ripped body because he doesn't want to act on his urges. Jeongguk lifted up the right side of his shirt and The tattoo on his waist line came into view.

It was written in small letters,in Jeongguk's own handwriting, he thinks. A 'kth's' is placed on his waistline like it belongs there. Looked so pretty,his hands linered on the tattoo. Feeling all types of feelings inside his stomach because he can't describe just how hot this is. "It looks beautiful but why? I mean when did you get this? I thought you hated me,why tattoo my name on yourself?" He asked Jeongguk.

"It was about 3 years ago I think. I was missing you so much I thought I would go insane if I didn't see you. You don't even have social media so I couldn't even stalk you,you know. To fill the void you left in me,I filled it with this tattoo.     You became a memory i did not want to forget so i tattooed you on me to keep you with me forever" He explained his reasons, The latter could feel his heart beating a bit too loudly.

"You are making me want to kiss you and cry at the same time. That is beautiful. Thank you,thank you for not forgetting me. How did others react when they saw it? How did Jake react?" He emphasised on Jake,making him chuckle at the mention.

"Jake was shocked and called me dumb for tattoeing my ex name on my body,which is understandable. Jin and Namjoon saw it when i changed in front of them as we were going to a sauna together. They just looked at me in pity and Jin hyung even kissed my forehead as an i'm sorry you are still not over Taehyung" He let out a nervous chuckle.

"That's kind of cute,man your hyungs are so nice. Did anyone else see?"

"Oh yeah,my mother saw it too like some months ago. She came over to the states to meet me and honestly she came for a vacation. We went to this beach. I was just in my shorts and she saw it and she was mad. She scolded me because she was already not a fan of my tattoos and now i got one of you,she is kind of not a fan of you anymore,she might even hate you i'm sorry" Jeongguk said,didn't want to mention it because he doesn't want Taehyung to feel bad.

"It's alright. I broke her son's heart. I would have hated myself too if i was her." He fiddled with his fingers,looking at his lap. Feeling a bit sad, Jeongguk noticed it.

He grabbed Taehyung's hand and squeezed them. "Hey,you know i don't hold the past against you anymore,hyung. It's time I move past it and i don't blame you for anything anymore. I have forgiven you a long time ago"

"Thank you,Gukkie. Don't mind me,I am just being dramatic. What about your mom and brother,how are they?"

"They are alright,ever since I stepped up my mom has been thriving. She goes on vacation every summer, I am happy for her because she even takes jaewon with her and they have been bonding a lot more. You would be shocked to see, he has grown so much. Let me show you a picture of him" Jeongguk grabbed his phone from the side and opened his gallery.

"That's good. How old is he now anyway? 17?18? Oh my god..a lot of time has passed" Taehyung told him when Jeongguk shoved his phone into Taehyung's face.

In the picture,he could see 4 people. Jeongguk,his mom,Jaewon and some girl. They were all standing on some beach,the wind blowing their hair and sunlight falling on their faces. Smiles on their faces and sunglasses covering their eyes.

Jeongguk was looking really handsome,he had his hair thrown back,his damned ripped body out in it's glory and you could see the initials peeking from under his shorts. His mother looked exactly the same,just as beautiful as before. She really hasn't aged a day since the last time he saw her.

Then his eyes fell on grown up Jaewon,the boy who barely reached his shoulders now stood as tall as his brother.

He had an undercut and almost all of his baby fat was gone since he has more defined features now. Puberty hit him hard because he had gotten so handsome. Even his body was a bit toned now. He looked so much like Jeongguk when Taehyung first saw him. Now Jeongguk has matured but his brother looks so much like him. He briefly looked at the girl next to Jaewon. She had blonde silky hair and was wearing a baby blue swimsuit that looked amazing on her.

"Holy shit,Jeongguk. What did you feed him?? He has grown so much,he looks really handsome. Looks so much like you when we first met" Taehyung commented,eyes fixed on the picture. Jeongguk scoffed.

"No way,I was way more good looking back then"

"Yeah sure,who is this girl next to Jaewon,holding his hand?" He pointed at the blonde girl. Jeongguk chuckled when he realised who he was talking about.

"Hyung,that's Seri, Jaewon's girlfriend remember?" He said the name and it's like a bell rang in his head. He gasped when he realised who he was talking about.

"No way,the cute little shy girl who i saw when i went over to your house. I know 13 to 18 is a drastic change but these kids just transformed into some other people. She has gotten so pretty,are they still dating?" Taehyung asked because it has been a really long time.

"Yep,6 years of dating now, I believe so" Jeongguk said to Taehyung who was in shock. "That's like the cutest thing ever,I am so happy for both of them,they really outdid us. He even took her on vacation with him. That's so cute,I envy them for real"

"We don't even come close,they really are so cute together. You know even though my mom isn't fond of you,jaewon still likes you alot." He mentioned,perking up Taehyung's interest.

"Really?" 

"Yeah,when I told him you broke up with me,he found it so hard to believe for a long time. He was like there's no way Hyung,Taehyung Hyung looked at you like he was so in love,how can he break up with you?" He imitated Jaewon's voice.He laughed at Jeongguk's impression of his brother.

His heart warmed when he heard that. "He was so convinced we will get back together and he was actually the one who persuaded me to come back to Korea" He told him,making Taehyung happy.

"Does that mean you would not leave? Are you going to stay here from now on?" the hint of hope in his voice was so obvious.

"Yes,I have a lot of things I need to fix here. The main one being us" He started.

"Us?"

"Yes,us. I thought about it,thought about us and if we are going to move past everything together despite everything that went down. I compared what we had to what I can have with Jake and I just didn't see anything when it came to Jake. I never liked him like that and my future with him is nothing more than being friends. Meanwhile you on the other hand.." the trailed,followed by a chuckle,he started to speak again.

He pulled him closer to him as one of his hand caressed Taehyung's cheeks.     His gaze on Taehyung felt like he was looking at his whole world.

"You are my everything,Taehyung. I was hurt a lot but if i'm given an option to meet you for the first time all over again,i would do it in a heartbeat. We had rough moments but we had such good times together that overpower our bad moments. You are the reason I know that I'm not unlovable because there is someone out there who loves me so much who is ready to sacrifice himself for me."

"Jeongguk..."

"You were there for me through everything. All my moments with you brought me so much love,even the ones I don't want to remember. I want to cherish you forever,Taehyung. I will always love you no matter what. I will always choose you,there is no one out there who can replace you in my heart. You have taken over my mind and my body because all I think about is you. We have our issues so instead of fighting I want us to solve them together. I will fight for you if you are ready to fight for me too,Taehyung. No more pushing each other away. Let me embrace you properly"

Jeongguk picked Taehyung up in a bridal style and laid him on the couch. He crawled on top of him,looking down at the blushing mess Taehyung was becoming. So overwhelmed with emotions.

"Thank you for fighting for me. I will fight for you Jeongguk,I won't push you away and hurt you like I did before. I hurt myself in that process too and that's why you are right. Let's solve our problems together. I love you too,always have and always will. No one can change my love for you because it is out of my control too. So kiss me and make me forget all the pain i went through. Make me yours, Jeongguk" Taehyung put his arms around Jeongguk's neck.

The younger man was smiling so much his cheeks were hurting. Hearing all those words coming out of taehyung's mouth brought him so much ease. He was already in cloud nine. He wished for nothing else,This is everything he could ever ask for. So to seal their promise,he pressed his lips against Taehyung's,softly taking him into a kiss.
