♥ "You can't be serious Jungkook." Namjoon said, to which Jungkook just stared at him frozen. Namjoon never called Jungkook by his real name, he knew that Namjoon would be mad and he stupidly brought it up anyway.

♥ "Oh... um... I'm sorry Joonie! Just forget about it!" Jungkook said backing down. He refused to make the love of his life angry. He rushed over to Namjoon and buried his face into the man's chest. Namjoon sighed, knowing how frightened Jungkook was.

♥ "I'm sorry Angel. You just caught me off guard. So tell me, what exactly do you mean 'swap boyfriends?'" Namjoon still absolutely hated the idea, but he wanted Jungkook to feel like he could talk to him about anything. Jungkook slowly backed up and met his eyes.

♥ "Um... when I went to the park with Jiminie, he started talking about his relationship with Taehyung and wanted help, so he asked me personally. He said that if we swapped boyfriends it would help Taehyung see that he needs him and he'll appreciate him more." Jungkook said while playing with his fingers.

♥ "Angel, do you really think that would help their relationship? You know first hand just how messy the two of them are together. Maybe it's best that they break up." Namjoon shrugged.

♥ "Joonie, how could you say something like that!? Jiminie is my best friend and he chose Taehyung to be his soulmate. I need to help him, I have to repay him by making his dream come true." Jungkook pouted and crossed his arms.

♥ "It's not your place to help them. Jimin is exploiting your caring personality and in no way do you need to do this." Namjoon said, crossing his own arms in response to his boyfriend's reaction.

♥ "That is not true. It would only be for a month and it would just be like we are roommates. Remember how I said I wanted to live in the dorms when we first met, it will be like that. A new experience." Jungkook said optimistically.

♥ "A month? That's way too long for us to be apart." Namjoon said. His opinion on Jimin was definitely shifting. He could only really see him now as the person who was tricking his boyfriend into the dumbest plan of all time. It was one of the most selfish things that Jimin could have done.

♥ "Joonie, please? I really want to do this for him. I wasn't on board at first either, but could you imagine the benefits?" Jungkook grabbed onto Namjoon's shirt begging him. Namjoon shook his head.

♥ "I just can't allow you to stay with a filthy man like Taehyung. If you were staying with Jimin that would be different, but you're not. Can't you see that I'm keeping your best interest in mind?" Namjoon said, trying his best not to raise his voice again. He didn't understand why he wasn't getting through to Jungkook. He usually listened.

♥ "I... I'm an adult, Joonie. I want to make my own decisions and I want to do this for my best friend. Jiminie wouldn't let anything go wrong. He loves me deeply and he kisses my forehead and he showers me with presents I don't need and he keeps me safe when we are out in public." Jungkook said, pouring his whole soul into this conversation. Jungkook wore his heart on his sleeve and it wasn't easy for him not to show it.

♥ "Damn it, I said no!" Namjoon shouted. Jungkook was stunned, not once, but Namjoon had yelled at him twice during their conversation. It scared him beyond belief and his perfect view of Namjoon chipped a little each time the older man messed up. Jungkook backed up a couple of steps before he ran away and hid behind one of the corners in the hallway.

♥ "Angel, wait. I'm sorry I didn't-" Namjoon was cut off by Jungkook. That was a rare moment to see.

♥ "I'm going to go take a bath. I don't need any help, so just eat some of the food I prepared for you." Jungkook said from down the hall. Namjoon could hear the little tapping of Jungkook's feet as they trailed off into the bathroom. Namjoon facepalmed himself feeling the guilt creep up.

♥ Jungkook closed the door and let his body fall down onto the floor. He was contemplating what he should do next. He wanted to go out there and tell Namjoon that he changed his mind, but he really felt like he was obligated to do this for Jimin. What were friends for anyway?

♥ Jungkook rose and walked over to the bath. He turned on the water and let the bath fill up with hot water. Jungkook put some bubble bath soap in it and when it was ready, he undressed himself and got it.

♥ He let out a sigh of relief as the hot water seemed to clear his mind. It also felt exceptionally good on his skin, like he was encapsulated in a big warm hug. Jungkook still couldn't help being lost in his thoughts, this was until he heard a light knock on the door.

♥ "Angel, may I come in?" Namjoon said softly from the other side of the door. How he upset Jungkook was weighing on his mind, but most importantly his heart.

♥ "Yes." Jungkook answered, sliding further down into the bubble bath. Namjoon turned the knob and pushed the door open. He softly chuckled seeing the small boy in the gigantic bathtub. He made his way over to him and sat down next to the tub.

♥ "Does it feel nice?" Namjoon asked as he swirled some of the bubbles around with his fingers. Jungkook nodded, still staring at the man with a gentle gaze. "I owe you an apology. I shouldn't have snapped at you even if I think Jimin's plan is ridiculous."

♥ "Joonie, there's no need for that. It's okay... How about you join me? I could use some extra warmth." Jungkook bit his bottom lip. That was his way of accepting Namjoon's apology. He wanted him to know that he was sincere.

♥ "I'd love to." Namjoon pecked Jungkook's lips before quickly taking all of his clothes off. Jungkook blushed seeing him naked. Namjoon worked out a lot, so his body was toned and Jungkook couldn't deny that he liked this view especially.

♥ Namjoon eased his way into the bath and Jungkook moved over to Namjoon's side. He sat down on his lap and leaned back into his embrace. There he felt safe, like he was home. Namjoon was home. He started to get second thoughts about the boyfriend swap. Would he really be okay with leaving him behind?

♥ Jungkook was pulled out of his thoughts when he felt Namjoon's hands touch his chest and thighs. It might have been an accident, but it lit up all the nerves in Jungkook's body like a christmas tree.

♥ "Is the bath too hot? Should I put in some more cold water? You're getting really warm." Namjoon asked in a concerned tone. He rested his chin on Jungkook's shoulder which only made the younger male shiver more. "What's wrong?"

♥ "I'm sorry Joonie, I couldn't stop it..." Jungkook said, bringing his knees up to his chest to hide his shame. Namjoon waited to hear what was wrong and Jungkook only muttered. "I... got... hard. It was an accident I promise!"

♥ "We are just apologizing so much today, but that's not something you have to apologize for." Namjoon whispered into his ear and hoisted Jungkook over his shoulder while he got out of the bathtub. Jungkook squealed, not expecting to be lifted up. "Relax, you're okay."

♥ Namjoon let the water out and wrapped Jungkook up in his favorite penguin towel. Jungkook giggled softly as Namjoon carried him bridal style and took him into the bedroom. He laid Jungkook softly on the bed and reached over to his nightstand to grab some lubricant.

♥ "You're not cold, are you?" Namjoon asked to which Jungkook quietly shook his head no. "Spread your legs for my baby."

***

♥ Jungkook opened his legs up as he looked at Namjoon wondering what his next moves were. Namjoon pulled Jungkook down to the edge of the bed and took a hold of Jungkook's dick with his hand. Jungkook tensed up immediately as Namjoon started to stroke it.

♥ He always felt inexperienced in situations like this. Namjoon was so good at taking care of his needs and he desperately wanted to return the favor. Namjoon started to kiss the inside of Jungkook's thighs, making Jungkook twitched in his hand.

♥ "You're more sensitive today." Namjoon mentioned. After that sentence Jungkook was more embarrassed. He clenched his eyes shut feeling a wet sensation on his tip.

♥ "Ah! Joonie, you don't have to." Jungkook moaned as Namjoon took all of it into his mouth. Jungkook moved his hand down to play with Namjoon's hair as the others started to suck him off. Jungkook's body acted on its own. His back raised up and his hips thrusted forward ever so slightly. Namjoon was enjoying the way he changed Jungkook when they got intimate.

♥ Jungkook's body trembled because of the overwhelming feeling building up in his stomach. His toes curled. Namjoon looked up, making sure that Jungkook was enjoying himself while he glided his tongue along the sides of his length. He rubbed the tip to stimulate him even further.

♥ "Hah! Oh... Joonie!" Jungkook said, grabbing the sheets with one of his hands. He felt like he would burst any second. Jungkook's moans showed just how engrossed he was in the way Namjoon made him feel. Namjoon's head continued to bob up and down softly as he reached one of his hands up to play with Jungkook's nipple.

♥ "Ah m-more." He managed to mumble through his blissful sounds. Jungkook paid attention to his other nipple, aiding Namjoon in pleasuring himself. Namjoon lowered his position further, licking Jungkook's hole. Jungkook turned a bright red feeling very vulnerable as Namjoon now ate him out. He alternated his mouth between Jungkook's cock and hole. "Joonie, I-I can't take much more."

♥ Once the words slipped out of Jungkook's mouth Namjoon sucked harder and swirled his tongue around the boy's most sensitive part. Jungkook pinched his nipples and threw his head back in pleasure as he came into Namjoon's warm mouth.

♥ Jungkook was panting hard as he tried to calm his body, but his mind was running wild. Namjoon pulled away and swallowed Jungkook's cum. Jungkook peeked down at Namjoon.

♥ "Joonie... I want you." He said to which Namjoon rose up and got on the bed. The bigger individual hovered over Jungkook's small quivering frame. He leaned down giving Jungkook a few small pecks. The other received them graciously.

♥ "I have to prep you first. This might hurt a little since it's been a while." Namjoon remarked and kissed Jungkook's cheek. Namjoon grabbed the bottle and put the transparent sticky liquid on his middle finger. He extended his hand down to Jungkook's hole and slowly entered one finger.

♥ Jungkook grabbed onto Namjoon's shoulders tightly trying to endure the discomfort as Namjoon started to move around. He let out small whimpers when Namjoon added his ring finger inside. Jungkook was starting to get used to it and it made his stomach feel weird again.

♥ "Joonie, hurry." Jungkook said being more demanding than usual. Namjoon chuckled and kissed Jungkook's neck softly and sucked on certain spots on his collarbone.

♥ "If I don't prep you well enough it's going to hurt, Angel. Trust me, I want it just as badly as you do." Namjoon whispered in Jungkook's ear. Namjoon could feel Jungkook tighten around him just from his lewd words. He added another finger. "Let's not rush."

♥ Jungkook nodded and patiently took in all the satisfaction Namjoon's fingers were giving him. His eyes suddenly widened when he felt Namjoon's finger rub against his sweet spot. He flinched and looked up at Namjoon just to see his hyung grinning back at him.

♥ "That should be enough." Namjoon assumed and positioned himself between Jungkook's legs. Namjoon reached for his nightstand drawer once again and pulled out a condom. He ripped the packaging and rolled the condom down onto his dick. He put some more lube on the outside of the latex and pushed his tip against Jungkook's entrance.

♥ "Ready?" He asked, caressing Jungkook's cheek. He nodded and with that Namjoon gently eased into him. Jungkook couldn't help, but squirmed around because of the unfamiliar feeling. "I'm going to start moving. Since we don't do this often it might hurt even more."

♥ "Okay." Jungkook mumbled. Namjoon groaned at how tight Jungkook was. He did it slowly so Jungkook wouldn't have such a hard time. The younger male started to whine and wrapped his legs around Namjoon to be closer to him.

♥ He soon felt the pleasure at its full capacity. Jungkook became a moaning mess each time Namjoon thrusted in and it encouraged Namjoon to thrust fast to gratify both of them. Jungkook didn't notice that he was gripping onto Namjoon so tightly that he was leaving marks on Namjoon's back.

♥ "You feel amazing Baby." Namjoon said, kissing Jungkook's neck as he thrusted. Jungkook pulled Namjoon into a sloppy kiss while Namjoon grabbed Jungkook's waist to maximize his movements.

♥ Jungkook pulled away, not being able to hold his voice. His new strategy was to bite his lip. Namjoon noticed that the moans in the room were suddenly only his own. He looked down at his beautiful partner.

♥ "Angel, why are you biting your lip?" Namjoon said, cupping Jungkook's face in his hand. "Does it hurt?"

♥ "No." Jungkook shook his head and held onto him. "I... I'm just m-making all these weird n-noises."

♥ "Your moans are beautiful darling. It lets me know I'm doing a good job, so don't hold in your voice." Namjoon said, rubbing his bottom lip with his thumb. Jungkook took his advice and let himself express his delight with vocalization.

♥ "I'm getting close." Namjoon commented and it looked like Jungkook was as well. If not from his face, Namjoon could tell by how Jungkook clenched around him.

♥ Namjoon pumped Jungkook's dick in his hand as he continued to thrust deeper. Jungkook was letting out all kinds of dirty noises as he hit his high and released on his own chest. Namjoon kept going until he let out a low groan as he came into the condom.

♥ His thrusting slowly came to a halt and he pulled out. Jungkook whimpered softly still feeling the sensitivity that comes with just reaching your climax. Namjoon pulled off the condom, tied it up, and threw it into the trash next to their bed.

***

♥ "Joonie, cuddles." Jungkook's voice definitely sounds exhausted. Namjoon compiled and pulled Jungkook into his embrace. They laid their together, them against the world. Jungkook closed his eyes, as did Namjoon.

♥ "You know what, Angel?" Namjoon muttered. Jungkook replied with a simple hum. "I'll let you do the boyfriend swap. Just let me be involved with setting rules."

♥ "Thank you Joonie. I think rules sound like a great idea." Namjoon heard Jungkook speak through his faint panting. He smiled and they cuddled as they both fell into deep sleep.

♥ They would both soon come to regret taking Jimin up on the deal, but there was no backing out now. What could happen after all? It wasn't like any of them were living together romantically. It would just be a platonic roommate situation...Or so they all thought...

♥ While Jungkook spent the night making love to the love of his life, or as Jimin liked to say 'getting pounded into by the love of his life' , Jimin went to dine with Taehyung at a fancy restaurant. He hoped deep down that his friend had the courage to tell his boyfriend. Jimin knew that Jungkook often chickened out of things if he thought it might hurt Namjoon's feelings and it got on Jimin's nerves quite a bit.

♥ "What's got you so lost in thought?" Taehyung grumbled as he ate some glazed ribeye off his shiny silver fork. Jimin glanced up at Taehyung and started to eat some of his food. He was surprised that Taehyung even cared enough to ask him.

♥ "I was thinking about what Jungkook and I talked about at the park earlier." Jimin admitted and rolled some of the broccoli on his plate over with his chopsticks.

♥ "What were you talking about? The latest baby food flavor?" Taehyung tilted his head smirking, like it was some big feat to make fun of the poor boy. Jimin dropped his utensils down on the table, irritated.

♥ "You should shut your mouth. Jungkook hasn't done anything to you, the least you could do is show him the same courtesy." Jimin frowned. "In fact, we were talking about this plan I came up with to help you with your insufferable attitude."

♥ "Oh? And what would that be?" Taehyung leaned back in his chair amused at how frustrated his hyung was. For the first time in a while Taehyung was the one poking fun at him and making him angry.

♥ "We're going to swap boyfriends. He'll stay at our house and I'll stay at theirs for a month." Jimin crossed his arms. Taehyung bursted into a laughing fit. He held his stomach, not taking any of this seriously. "It's not funny Taehyung."

♥ "What the fuck are you even talking about? You really think that Namjoon will loosen his grip on Jungkook? I don't think so, he has Jungkook wrapped around his finger like a little bi-" Jimin cut Taehyung off by slamming his hand down on the table. His actions attracted some uneasy gazes from other tables.

♥ "Can you not be a dick for once and realize that this could be good for both of us? I'm trying to fix our relationship, so the least you can do is not sabotage me." Jimin huffed and clenched his fists together.

♥ "Jimin, you do know that I said I wanted you to act more like Jungkook. I don't want to live with Jungkook." Taehyung said, straightening his face. He grabbed Jimin's hand across the table while he spoke. "But if that's what you want I won't protest. Finally someone that will pull their weight around the house."

♥ "We'll see if you're still saying that after a month." Jimin rolled his eyes and scoffed at his annoying comments. "Jungkook can be a bit dependent and I know you don't like your partners that clingy, so make sure not to hurt him."

♥ "It's better than a partner that acts more like a gloryhole." Taehyung's words slipped off his tongue before he could fully process them. Jimin kicked his boyfriend in the shin, making him grab his leg. "Hey, that hurt."

♥ "It was supposed to." Jimin retaliated.

♥ "How did I get so lucky with a partner like you." Taehyung sarcastically said. "Anyway, do you really think that your little friend is going to manage to convince his master?"

♥ "Stop talking about Jungkook like he's a dog and  have a little more faith in him. When he gets an idea in his head he carries through with it." Jimin said, only believing his own words half heartedly.

♥ The next day Jungkook called Jimin and told him the good news. Jimin was overjoyed and praised Jungkook. "I'm so proud of my little Kookie, I know convincing Namjoon was hard."

♥ "I can't take all the credit." Jungkook giggles translated through the phone clearly making Jimin smile. Then it was decided. Later that day the four were going to meet up to discuss the rules and then by the end of the week they would have switched. Meanwhile back at the office.

♥ "Hey. Hey! Kim Taehyung. I need to talk with you." Namjoon said, trying to catch him before the elevator closed. Taehyung kept a stone cold face as Namjoon stood next to him. The metal doors closed as the machine started to glide down.

♥ "Make it quick. You have until the elevator reaches the lobby." Taehyung said. Currently, they were on the 36th floor. Namjoon already didn't like how this conversation was starting, but he sucked in his pride and started talking.

♥ "It's about Jungkook. When we actually start the move in process I need you not to be a total asshole to him. Jungkook can be very sensitive and I don't need someone like you breaking his spirit." Namjoon said to which Taehyung just dismissed him.

♥ "Yeah yeah, I'll give him a bottle by 6, have him in his jamies at 8, and have him asleep in the crib at 9. Are we done here?" Taehyung mocked and looked at his watch to check how long this conversation had been going on for. Though it just started, he wanted it to be over.

♥ "Taehyung, I'm being serious. I get that you're a director when we are here at the company, but I'm talking about both of our personal lives. I need to know that I can at least have a sliver of hope that you will be looking out for Jungkook." Namjoon articulated as he grabbed Taehyung's shoulder.

♥ "I suggest if you want to have a real conversation you should take your fucking hand off of me." Taehyung immediately shut him down. "Can't believe that Jungkook is such a sheltered sissy that he needs his boy toy to come threaten me. Stop coddling him like a defenseless brat."

♥ "What I do with my boyfriend is none of your business." Namjoon said, pulling back his hand. He was starting to give up hope that Taehyung was going to listen. "Treat Jungkook with the same respect that you would treat Jimin with."

♥ "Firstly, what I do in my house is my business and secondly if I did treat Jimin like a princess, we wouldn't be in the situation we are in at the moment, now would we?" Taehyung asserted himself and fixed his cufflinks. The elevator dinged indicating that they were now on the first floor. Taehyung started to stride out. In a last ditch effort Namjoon grabbed his wrist.

♥ "Just treat Jungkook like I would treat Jimin. You do want me to treat the love of your life with respect, don't you?" Namjoon's words were starting to get under Taehyung's skin. He slapped Namjoon's hand off.

♥ "Fine, I get it. Now will you back off? Get Jimin's name out of your mouth." Taehyung brushed off his suit jacket and walked away in a huff. Namjoon sighed and shook his head.

♥ "That seemed intense." Seokjin said, coming up behind Namjoon. He flinched hearing his coworker's voice suddenly. "How about we grab some drinks after work? Could take your mind off of whatever that was."

♥ "Sorry Jin. I'm going to have to pass, I have dinner plans with Jungkook." Namjoon said going back into the elevator with Seokjin on his tail.

♥ "Boyfriends boyfriends boyfriends. I wish I had one." The older man said sulking. Namjoon patted his back softly and shared a few words of encouragement. A couple of hours later the meet up was going to take place. This time Jungkook picked the place that they should go. It was a cute little cafe on the corner of one of the main roads. The bright pink coloring of the place hurt Taehyung's eyes, but Jimin had his way of persuading Taehyung to shut up.

♥ "So everyone, let's make some rules before we move in. I heard Namjoon was pretty stern in making some. Let's see what you got." Jimin said, taking the notebook paper from Namjoon's hand.

♥ Jimin's eyes scanned the paper while Taehyung peered over his shoulder at it. Taehyung's face scrunched up in dissatisfaction. "You've got to be kidding me. Are you serious about meeting up every Sunday and taking him places every Saturday?"

♥ "Hush Tae, I think these requests are reasonable." Jimin said, waving off his annoyance. Jimin and Taehyung wrote some of their own and this is what they all came up with.

_________

» Rule 1: One can visit his boyfriend up to twice a week for no longer than 1 hour

» Rule 2: Texting and writing letters to one's original partner is permitted, but limited

» Rule 3: Both parties must sleep in separate beds at all time

» Rule 4: Every Sunday both pairs of roommates must meet up to discuss any progress in the swap

» Rule 5: The swap will end if anyone wants to discontinue it, but there is a grace period of 2 hours to cool off before their final decision is made

» Rule 6: Each pair of roommates have to go out and do something on Saturdays so this challenge has a more authentic feel

_________

♥ "Now can we get out of here. This place is giving me weird vibes." Taehyung whispered to Jimin. Jimin rejected his idea and made him stick through the whole meeting for about 3 hours. And two days later the swap commenced.

♥ Before they knew it, it was move out/move in day. While Taehyung and Namjoon were at work, Jimin and Jungkook were to switch. Jungkook packed a big suitcase thinking that he needed almost everything to function for a whole month. Jimin packed pretty light. If he needed something later on he thought that he would just buy it.

♥ "Are you excited?" Jimin asked as he helped Jungkook load the car. Jungkook had definitely overpacked, but Jimin didn't complain since Jungkook was doing him a favor.

♥ "No. I'm really nervous. What if Taehyung doesn't like me? What if he kicks me out!?" Jungkook said with wide eyes. The two of them got in the front seats and Jimin started the car.

♥ "I'd like to see him try. That wouldn't go over well with me or Namjoon. We'd kick his ass." Jimin said, pulling out of the driveway. "Also, when you're living with him you need to learn how to ignore him. Sometimes he says stuff that he doesn't mean."

♥ "Okay. I'll try my best to stick it out." Jungkook said determined. Jimin ruffled the smaller boy's hair a little bit.

♥ "That's what I like to hear, Kookie." Jimin chuckled. After about 30 minutes he pulled into the driveway. "We're hereeee"

♥ "Your house is so big Jiminie!" Jungkook said intimidated by it. He hesitantly got out and helped Jimin take all of his stuff to the spare room on the main floor. Jimin gave him a mini tour of all the places in the house.

♥ "And that's it. Ask Taehyung if you forgot where anything is." Jimin said and grabbed a snack from the cabinet.

♥ "Are you leaving now?" Jungkook mumbled pitifully. Jimin kissed his cheek and rubbed his arms.

♥ "Don't even worry about it. I'll come back to visit with Namjoon or you can come visit us any time. Don't feel scared and make sure to try your best. Promise me." Jimin said. Jungkook wrapped his pinky around Jimin's and flashed him his signature bunny smile.

♥ "I promise."

♥ By the time it was 9 pm Taehyung had arrived home. He instantly saw a difference because the light on the front porch was bright and inviting. He pushed open the door and stripped himself of his outer layer of clothes. The lemony fresh scent of cleaning products hit his nostrils and the bleach he smelled looming in the air felt so unfamiliar.

♥ "Um... Jungkook?" Taehyung called out as he continued to walk through his house and into the kitchen. Jungkook was in the kitchen in a cute little pink apron. He was cooking something that smelled quite appetizing, but he couldn't put his finger on what it was.

♥ "Jooni- I mean Taehyung! You're finally home." Jungkook said, forcing a small smile on his face. He was trying to look on the bright side of the situation. "I made you some chicken alfredo. Jimin said that it was your favorite home cooked meal."

♥ "Really? That's what he said?" Taehyung furrowed his eyebrows in confusion. "My favorite home cooked meal is kimchi stew. For someone who doesn't cook for me, he has some nerve trying to tell other people what I like."

♥ "Oh... uh I'm so sorry. Should I make that instead? I think I might have some leftover ingredients that I brought with me." Jungkook said in a panic. He was afraid this would happen, it was the first day and he already got something wrong.

♥ "No, no. Chicken alfredo is delicious too. I'm not picky." Taehyung tried to assure him. Jungkook sighed, relieved that Taehyung wasn't angry. He grabbed two bowls and swirled the pasta in the middle of them in a neat dome shape. He sprinkled some parmesan, squeezed some lemon, and put a couple green herbs on top of them.

♥ "I hope you enjoy it. It's my first time in a while cooking for someone that isn't Joonie or Jiminie." Jungkook said, undoing the bow on his apron. He sat down across from Taehyung looking at the older male to make sure he ate first. Most importantly, if he liked it or not.

♥ Taehyung awkwardly picked up his utensil and spun his fork around in the pasta. He blew on the hot food for a second before he ate it. Taehyung stopped chewing because of the mind blowing flavors. When Jimin bragged about Jungkook's culinary skills he always thought that his boyfriend was blowing smoke up his ass.

♥ "It's bad isn't it? I tried following one of my nana's old recipes, but I didn't have all the correct ingredients so I improvised a little. I was hoping it came out just as marvelous." Jungkook looked down defeated.

♥ "No, that's not it. I just didn't think you were that good of a cook, no offense. Try it." Taehyung said, continuing to eat away at his plate of food. Jungkook hesitantly did the same and smiled. Yes! It is good! Jungkook thought to himself.

♥ "So... uh did you do all of this?" Taehyung asked, trying to break the ice. Jungkook looked at him with a cute confused expression. "The house, I haven't seen my kitchen sparkle since Jimin and I first moved in."

♥ "Oh, that was nothing. It wasn't that hard to clean up. In fact I enjoyed it. It was a change of scenery." Jungkook smiled at him. There was a bit of red sauce in the corner of his mouth. Taehyung couldn't help, but smile back.

♥ "You act like a child, so I don't know why I'm surprised by your table manners." Taehyung said using his thumb to clean his lip. Jungkook's ears turned red out of embarrassment.

♥ "Gosh, I'm truly sorry." Jungkook said, covering his mouth. Taehyung chuckled and went back to eating.

♥ "Ah! That's what this is missing. A bottle of red." Taehyung had had an epiphany. He stood to his feet to get it, but Jungkook immediately stopped him. He wanted to make a good impression on Taehyung and to him that meant doing everything.

♥ "I'll get it! Jimin showed me where everything is." Jungkook proclaimed and scurried off to fetch a bottle. Taehyung didn't even try to deny that he found Jungkook cute. He liked how attentive he was. Jungkook returned and poured Taehyung a glass.

♥ "Thank you." Taehyung mumbled. Jungkook didn't respond as he sat down and started eating again. Taehyung noticed how Jungkook looked like he was in a rush to finish all his food. "Jungkook, the food isn't going anywhere. Sheesh. Slow down."

♥ Taehyung was taught from a young age to always eat your food slowly so that it would last longer. Coming from a poor background Taehyung savored his food like he wasn't going to eat tomorrow. At the time, that might've been the case.

♥ Jungkook flinched and for a second it looked like he spaced out hearing the words come out of Taehyung's mouth. There was a reason he ate quickly. When Jungkook was a child he would have to compete with his siblings for food. His father was rather ruthless and would only give them enough food for one. His father liked to watch his three children fight for scraps as his source of entertainment.

♥ The trauma that Jungkook had faced in his earlier years always stayed with him. There was no working around it because it always seemed to haunt him. Jungkook eventually ran away leaving his younger brother and older sister at home. He couldn't take it anymore and escaped his hell at the young age of 15. He was thrown into the foster care system from there and never saw his siblings again.

♥ "Jungkook? Hello?" Taehyung said getting more worried the more time passed by that Jungkook didn't answer. He grabbed his shoulders and made Jungkook face him, which seemed to snap Jungkook out of his trance.

♥ "Taehyung! Oh my gosh, I'm so sorry. I'll eat slower." Jungkook said. Taehyung could feel Jungkook's heartbeat from the shallowest touch. Namjoon was good at keeping Jungkook happy and calm. They had met when Jungkook was 18 and started dating a few months after. Namjoon helped Jungkook work through his traumatic episodes and he usually didn't revert back to old habits unless he was nervous or stressed.

♥ "Hey, are you going to be okay?" Taehyung asked. Jungkook nodded quickly. He didn't want his new roommate to worry about him and didn't feel like drawing attention to it. Jungkook wanted to go home right now, but decided against vocalizing his opinion.

♥ Dinner was a bit quieter, but the two still tried to have a conversation. They talked about Jungkook's university and some business plans that Jungkook didn't really understand. After dinner Jungkook took all the dishes and washed them in the sink even though there was a dishwasher right next to him.

♥ Taehyung helped him clear the table, but after debating with Jungkook if he should just use the appliance, he decided to just sit down on the couch. Jungkook's stubbornness held out and he ended up the victor in that battle.

♥ "Is it okay for me to join you?" Jungkook requested as he crept up behind Taehyung. Taehyung still couldn't get over how obedient Jungkook actually was. He really did ask permission for everything. He wondered if Namjoon ever got annoyed having to deal with him everyday after work.

♥ "Sure." Taehyung said flipping through some shows on netflix. Jungkook contently stared at the screen, waiting for something that piqued his interest to show up.

♥ "Can we watch that, Taehyung?! I love the Little Mermaid!" Jungkook begged as he pointed at the screen. Taehyung's eyebrows furrowed yet again.

♥ "What? No." Taehyung said instantly. "What did I expect coming from a guy that orders cakes with smiley faces on them."

♥ "Joonie says it's not a problem, but it can be embarrassing sometimes I guess. If I like it, I should ignore what others have to say about it." Jungkook said in retaliation to the last part that Taehyung mumbled.

♥ "Namjoon is fucking delusional for telling you that obvious lie." Taehyung scoffed and settled on a zombie show. Jungkook pouted seeing his selection, but he was more upset about his choice of words used to describe Namjoon.

♥ "Joonie is the smartest person I know. You don't have to be such a butthead." Jungkook said, crossing his arms. Taehyung rolled his eyes and pushed Jungkook's forehead with his index finger.

♥ "And you don't have to be such a dick sucker." Taehyung said. Jungkook gasped and covered his mouth. He softly hit Taehyung instinctively. "What? Was that too vulgar for your liking?"

♥ Jungkook stayed silent and just watched the movie with an attitude. His demeanor didn't last long because of how afraid he was of the graphics shown on the screen. He clung to Taehyung terrified.

♥ "Hey, get off. It's not scary. There's no way you are that scared of a fake little show." Taehyung voiced as he pried Jungkook's face from his chest.

♥ "Yes it is! Turn it off!" Jungkook whined and covered his eyes. Taehyung took a deep breath calming himself.

♥ "Look who's being assertive for once." Taehyung mocked him as he switched the show. He turned on a documentary about stocks. He didn't really want to watch that at this moment, but it was better than hearing Jungkook cry and complain.

♥ The younger boy sat there comfortable in his oversized sweater. Not long after the doc started, Jungkook fell asleep. He leaned on Taehyung's shoulder and his breathing became faint. Taehyung got bored as expected and when he tried to move Jungkook held onto him with much strength.

♥ "Wait Joonie, take me with you." Jungkook mumbled and Taehyung stared at him, already not having it. He was trying everything he could to take Jungkook off of himself, but gave up halfway through. Taehyung picked Jungkook up and took him to his bedroom. He tried putting him in the guest bedroom, but he still refused to let go.

♥ Taehyung just decided to move him a bit later. He laid Jungkook down on his shared bed with Jimin and tucked him in. Jungkook nuzzled his face into the warm bedspread. Taehyung changed into some shorts and slid into bed shirtless. He was at least compromising by having some kind of bottom garments other than boxers on.

♥ The older male closed his eyes, but he heard whimpering and crying not two minutes into his slumber. At first he thought that he was dreaming, but no, he knew that it was Jungkook. He slightly opened his eyes and turned to Jungkook's side of the bed.

♥ "Please... please don't leave me here. I'll be a good boy, father please." Jungkook shifted vigorously in sleep. Taehyung sat up. He tried to shake Jungkook away, but he was unresponsive. Jungkook grabbed Taehyung's waist and held onto it.

♥ "What is with this kid and having a death grip." Taehyung whisper yelled. He was shocked, but too tired to fight with him, so he rolled over in bed letting Jungkook hug him. If it would get the other to shut up so he could sleep, Taehyung was all for it.

♥ If only they knew the gateways they were opening when they first started living together. No one could have predicted the outcome of how their story would play out.
