-💔-

"Are you excited,Taehyung?" Sehoon asks his employee. Sitting in the first class lounge together at their gate, waiting for the boarding to start so they can depart.

Taehyung takes a sip of his wine and nods enthusiastically. "So excited, London is basically my second home, sir."

"I know, that's why I chose you to go with me. This wide smile suits your face. This distance from your husband does suit you too." Sehoon tries to pull it off as a joke but Taehyung doesn't laugh, he just tries to ignore the comment.

"Well about that- oh look speaking of the devil and he arrives. He's here." Taehyung immediately got up from the soft chair, putting his wine glass on the table as he looked behind Sehoon.

His husband, Jeon Jeongguk, was strolling towards them. He was in loose black pants with a black fitted shirt on top, hugging his arms quite beautifully, those tattoos were out for display and Taehyung could himself be swooning a little. He is glad Jeongguk doesn't know how much he likes the entire aesthetic that he holds up so much or he would never hear the end of it.

There was no suitcase or bag in his hands, just a jacket resting on his arms. He had probably booked his suitcases and nothing to carry on. They both immediately made eye contact, Jeongguk smiled at him and raised his eyebrows. Taehyung took one glance at his boss who was sitting confused as he stared at Taehyung, wondering why he just got back. When suddenly Taehyung hurried past him, He turned around to see who it was.

Jeongguk hugged his husband, putting his arms around that small waist. He placed a kiss on his ear and pulled him closer to his body when he saw the boss looking over. He smirked proudly to see the boss's shocked and disgusted expression. He felt smug, as his hands went down towards Taehyung's ass. In a way he was just claiming his husband in front of Sehoon. The way he behaved at that party made his intentions quite clear and Jeongguk would make sure this man doesn't get close to his husband.

Sehoon eventually got up too as the two 'lovebirds' pulled away from the hug. They stood side by side but the arm stayed on Taehyung's waist. "What a pleasant surprise. What is he doing here, Taehyung?" Sehoon questioned him.

"Oh he did not want to let me go alone and asked if he could also come and how could I have said no?" Taehyung lied a little, putting his hands over Jeongguk's chest. Acting like a loving husband.

"But it's a business trip, Taehyung. Spouses don't come to that." Sehoon tried to argue against this decision. Before Taehyung could speak, Jeongguk interrupted him.

"Don't worry, Sehoon-sshi. I won't come between your work, and will maintain my distance whenever it's about it. I wouldn't want to bring stress to my baby. I'm just here to accompany him and to spend time with him, you know." Jeongguk suddenly kissed his cheeks and Sehoon tried to keep himself together.

"Right. Alright, if both of you are good then who am I to say anything. Now excuse me, I have to go to the washroom." Sehoon expressions turned into more of a sterned angry one as he walked past Jeongguk, intentionally bumping into him.

Jeongguk chuckled, it's so nice to see him like that. His hands slid down Taehyung's waist as the man also sighed. "You are so touchy, Jeongguk, oh my god. You kissed me like twice in the span of 5 minutes." Taehyung complained to him, sitting back down on the sofa as Jeongguk joined him.

"It would be weird if I didn't kiss you in front of him, Taehyung. You are my husband and we have to act the part in front of him at least." Jeongguk responds to him.

"Are you this touchy with your actual partners?"

"Worse, I am always all over them. You are just getting like 10% of my affection Taehyung. If you were my real husband, I would have shown you the stars in broad daylight." Jeongguk says to him, with a flirtatious wink.

"You are such a flirt, no wonder people just slip into your bed."

"You are the one to say. Did you see how worked up your boss got? Are you sure he's safe to be around? he fucking fancies you a lot." Jeongguk says as his eyes are wandering towards the exit to see if he's coming or not.

"He doesn't force me into anything or tries something on me, just some harmless flirting doesn't hurt me and I really like this job so I can take that much. He loved talking shit about you though." Taehyung tells him with a chuckle.

"and you let him?"

"No, you are not that bad so as a friend and as your contractual husband, i defend you. I always put a line between us, so he knows not to cross a boundary." He responds confidently. Grabbing his wine glass again and taking a sip.

"Do you by any chance like him back?"

"What?"

"I don't want him near you but if he is someone you want to consider dating then I will back off." Jeongguk didn't want to say it because he hates Sehoon but he can't compromise Taehyung's happiness for his dislikes.

"Oh no, I don't like him like that. He's kind of like a brother figure to me and I just can't see him in that sense. Though even if I did, you don't have to change your ways. I'm a grown man, you don't have to worry about me"

"I am not worried about you. Just don't want weird men hitting on my husband. You are Jeon Jeongguk's husband, you should be untouchable." Jeongguk moves closer to him, his eyes stripping him down. Taehyung feels his cheeks heat up. It's a natural reaction, right?

"Oh, I am untouchable, Mr.Jeon. So untouchable, even my husband can't touch me." He caresses his thighs as their shoulders are touching. The intense eye contact speaks a thousand words.

His narrow eyes stared deep inside of him, the fire of lust kept growing. Undressing with eyes was something Jeongguk wasn't unfamiliar with too but for the first time he wants it so much, he's about to risk his dignity for it. The air around them got thicker as Taehyung's hands went more in towards his inner thighs, too close to his crotch. Jeongguk grabbed his hands before it went deeper.

"Don't play games that you know you won't win in."

"Who said anything about winning? I just want the reward in the end." Taehyung responds with an innocent smile as if he just didn't make Jeongguk's entire body burn from the lust. He immediately looked away as images of Taehyung in compromising positions started to form in his mind.

He shouldn't think this. Taehyung is extremely hot and attractive but he cannot think these thoughts about him, anyone but him. This could get him in a lot of trouble. He really needs to have sex with someone to get over this phase he has been in for quite some days now.

"Ahm, The boarding has started. Let's leave." Sehoon, who just came, fake coughed and let them know. The two finally stood up, getting out of their trance. Taehyung goes to grab his mini suitcase that he got as a carry on. Jeongguk beats him to it and grabs it for him. "I got it. " Jeongguk smiles at him.

Sehoon rolls his eyes at his 'sweet' gesture. The three make their way to the counter where they checked the boarding passes. The process was quite fast as they were first class passengers so they were the first priority of the airline. Soon enough they were entering the plane. Checking their tickets to see their seats.

Walking down the row, Taehyung looked up at the seat numbers, he didn't have to go much further as just four rows before the next cabin was his seat. It was the one in the middle lane where there were two seats. Taehyung sat down on the soft chair that was big enough for him to sit with his legs up. A big tv screen with his own mini bar and even slippers and pajamas for him to change into if he wants.

He put his things down and started to settle down. Taking off his coat, before he could get up Jeongguk was here. He was putting Taehyung's suitcase in the upper compartment. "Can you put this up for me babe?" Taehyung asks him and Jeongguk nods. He grabbed the coat from him and folded it before putting it inside.

He heard someone sit down in the seat next to him. Turning around to see his boss. Their seats are together. Ofcourse, that makes sense since Sehoon said he was the one who booked the tickets.

"You are sitting next to my husband?" Jeongguk asks before even Taehyung could. Sehoon was now the one to smirk.

"Yes, You should have booked the tickets if you wanted to sit next to him." Sehoon said, having no plans to change seats.

"I would have gotten my private jet to fly us to London if this plan wasn't so last minute, Sehoon-sshi. But it's fine, seats don't matter when there's no distance between our hearts." Jeongguk once again winks at Taehyung who tries not to laugh. Where does he learn to say cheesy stuff like that?

Jeongguk took one look at his ticket and then at his seat to know he was at the right place. He didn't have anything to worry about because his seat was right next to Taehyung, just in another lane. Taehyung was in the middle seat while Jeongguk got left alone next to the window. He always somehow has the last laugh.

Settling down in his seat, making sure all of his things are with him. Putting the seat belt on as the plane was ready to depart soon. He closed his eyes for a second and tried to block his thoughts but it was quite hard when all he could hear was Sehoon and Taehyung talking and laughing with each other. His deep voice mixed with Sehoon's ear piercing one was not a good mixture.

Thankfully it was easier to block it out once the plane engine started and the pilot started to take off the plane. The taking off went quite smoothly, his stomach felt a bit funny but he was fine. He has been on the plane too many times to be phased by it. He opened his eyes to look over Taehyung who looked alright too. Once the plane reached a certain height, it started to feel a bit better. Everyone started to unwind again as the seat belt sign was off too. He took it off immediately and looked over to see the air hostess coming to him with champagne..

"Sir, would you like a drink?" She asked nicely.

"No, thank you." Jeongguk responds to her.

It's going to be a really long flight and If he needs to pass the time, he needs to get himself busy. He turned on the screen and decided to put on some movie. He did watch about two movies with his lunch in the middle to pass about 5 hours like that. WIth a lot of tossing and turning, looking out the window. Inclining his chair to feel more relaxed.

The talking between his husband and his boss did continue but it eventually (and thankfully) died down quite immediately as Taehyung started to ignore him a bit and just focus on whatever he was watching too. Jeongguk chuckled, why does he not get a hint that Taehyung doesn't want anything to do with him? It's so funny to see him rejected. It elevates his pride.

He could see Taehyung was now at this point bored too. The flight is about 14 hours and 30 minutes, they still have 9 more hours to go. Taehyung looks at Jeongguk, facing towards him. "Do you want to make out?"

"What??" Jeongguk is taken back by his response.

"I'm bored, I can't watch any more movies. I am not hungry either and Sehoon has eaten my ear off by just constantly talking. Thankfully he's asleep now." Taehyung points towards the man on the other side

"So you want to make out?"

"I was joking but now that I think about it. Would it be really that weird? It's just kissing. You probably have done that a lot with so many strangers." Taehyung tells him and Jeongguk shakes his head.

"not really, I don't like kissing much with people who I am not dating. Just straight to going down. Besides, you are not a stranger are you? it would make things weird between us. You want to kiss me that badly? Do you have a little crush on me?" Jeongguk teases him and Taehyung looks at him with disgust.

"You just turned me off. Guess celibacy has made you cringe." Taehyung says to him and Jeongguk raises his eyebrow in confusion.

"Celibate? me?"

"Yes, I know you haven't been with anyone ever since we got married even though you are allowed to. I don't care. Why is that though? What happened to playboy Jeongguk?" Taehyung asked him and even Jeongguk didn't have a proper answer.

"I..don't know. I mean I barely go out to like clubs and stuff. Last time I went to one, you know what happened. Guess I have been just too busy with work and well you and this marriage. It has been a lot at once." Jeongguk says to him and he nods understandably.

"That makes sense, maybe you can find a British blondie in London to ease that part of yours." Taehyung tries to tease him but it doesn't work.

"You are going to play the matchmaker as my husband? what if you find someone?"

"I doubt that. My schedule is fully packed. I have a lot of things planned. You just have to keep up." Taehyung lets him know.

"I will try my best. Anyway you should try sleeping. We have so many hours to kill and what's better than just sleeping?" Jeongguk gives advice.

"You are right. Let me call the flight attendant." Taehyung presses the button to call one. A woman walks over to them immediately and asks them how she can help.

Taehyung gets out of his seat and asks her to make his chair into a bed. She nods as she starts to work. Within minutes she had it turned into bed with sheets and even a single comforter for him to be fully comfortable. It was amazing how it all worked. Money is the key to it all. Jeongguk had done the same for him. As both of the boys got into their newly made bed and decided to sleep the hours off.

"Do you want my pillow?"

"What?"

"I have noticed how your bed is piled up with pillows because of your habit of hugging someone while asleep. So you can take mine, I have one and I don't need the other." Jeongguk grabs his extra pillow and gives it to him. Taehyung also has two but he does like them more.

"Oh no you don't have to. I can just ask for more-"

"Just take it, tae." Jeongguk throws his pillow at him and Taehyung catches him, thanking him for it. A sweet smile on his face was enough to make him feel better about his decision.

The bed that was made for them was quite co comfortable and to Jeongguk's liking. He felt like he could sink in and have a good sleep. Closing his eyes for a few seconds and he was dozing off already. Their flight was thankfully a night flight anyway so it fit perfectly with his schedule. He went to work, told his father how he's going on a vacation to London with his husband and will have to miss work.

Since it involved being with Taehyung, his father didn't berate him too much about it. He did look angry but in the end it all worked out. He went straight to the airport from work as he had already packed his bags in the morning and put them in his car. His assistant dropped him off. Now he's off to London, where he has no idea what he will do because he assumes Taehyung would be busy with work most of the time. So he would be alone.

Maybe Taehyung is right, hooking up in a foreign land is a lot easier than back home. At least he won't have to worry about reporters and paparazzi following him around to catch one slip up so they can put it all over the tabloids. A foreign beauty does excite him, this way he can forget about Taehyung too and how fucking good he looks nowadays.

Jeongguk was able to sleep about six hours before he was back up. He could see the sun was out as the sunlight was peeking from his slightly opened window. He did shock himself because he has never slept this long in a plan, the most he could do was three hours. Immediately getting up from his bed as he called the flight attendant to turn it back into a seat as he went to the first class bathroom.

The bathroom was quite big for a plan as it had two sinks, the toilet and even a shower for him to be fresh. As tempted as he was to take a shower, he decided not to as he would just take one in the hotel. Just brushing his teeth, washing his face, doing his skincare and all of the stuff to be more presentable because he looks messy from that 'nap'.

Coming out of the bathroom, he went back to his seat which was back to its usual form. The flight attendant came back to ask him if he wanted to eat breakfast. Jeongguk just shook his head and asked only for a coffee. He isn't much of a breakfast person. Just a coffee would do the job. The day had risen and in just three hours he would be in the UK.

Turning his head left and right to stretch, when his eyes fell on Taehyung. He was fast asleep, tucked in his bed. His pink lips were in a pout and his cheeks were a bit swollen. The long eyelashes and his messy hair falling on his forehead, he looked so pretty. There was sunlight hitting his face from Jeongguk's window, his eyebrows scrunched together in distress.

Jeongguk got up and walked over to him to block the sunlight off his face and it immediately eased. Making him chuckle. He's quite adorable in his sleep, he has said this before but god, he's beautiful. His hands went to his cheek and he caressed them softly.

"What are you doing?" A voice that he doesn't like to hear at all speaks. Gaining his attention as he looks to face his husband's boss who is now up too.

"Making sure my husband is sleeping well, is that a problem, Sehoon-sshi?" Jeongguk asked with a condescending tone.

"Yes, you are bothering him." He responds and Jeongguk tries not to get mad.

He clicks his tongue, poking it through his jaw. His hands in his pocket and stares at Sehoon with a not so friendly look in his eyes. "Now you listen, I have been trying to be respectful to you and not pick a fight for Taehyung's sake but the way you behave around him and act with me is testing my patience. I would advise you to not do something that you would regret and stop hitting on my husband while you're at it." Jeongguk states it clearly. Making sure his boundaries are visible.

The other man just snickers and doesn't respond to him. Looking back at his screen as if it's better to not indulge he thinks. Jeongguk walked around the cabin and decided to go to the first class lounge in the plane which also had an open bar. He sits down on the bar stools as the bartender was in the flight uniform.

"Would you like to drink anything sir?"

Jeongguk thought about it for a second. It is technically morning and it would be strange to drink this early in the morning. He also has his coffee coming so he is alright.

"No, thank you. Can I just get water?" He says to the man and he nods. Turning around to pour him a glass of water. Putting it in front of Jeongguk on the counter.

Jeongguk takes it all with one sip. He starts partaking in a small talk with the bartender. Asking questions about different things and even some about London if he has been there before or not. Questions about places there he could go to. Jeongguk has been to London before but only twice and it was both for business purposes.

Besides, he isn't much fun in that city or country anyway. It's always gray and depressing everytime he goes. There's not much to do but that is on him, he has always stayed in his London house and only went outside when it was for work. He can give London a second chance this time around. Time passed by quite quickly then, the last hour he just went back to his seat.

Taehyung was just getting himself together. Doing things Jeongguk did when he woke up getting freshened up, doing his skincare and all the stuff. Soon enough the plane tires hit the ground and they were officially in London. Jeongguk took one look around his seat to see if he's not forgetting anything and rest assured he was fine. They took their bags out and were walking out of the plane together with Sehoon following shortly behind them.

Taehyung was definitely leading them around the Heathrow airport. The way he moved, knowing every single corner of this place, it was like he never left. The passport check is all through machines. They just scan the passport, let the camera do its work and they are done. The whole airport process is quick. They just had to wait about 15 minutes to claim their bags at the baggage claim.

It was all thanks to Taehyung bringing three bags for one person for this short trip. Jeongguk stared at his matching silver bags and looked up at Taehyung who was putting them on the trolley. He walked towards him and started to help him put them on and obviously they were quite heavy.

"Why do you need three bags that are this heavy?" Jeongguk asks him, putting his last bag on top.

"Two of them are mine, I need outfits to show up at this pop up. A lot of important people are coming. One of the suitcases is filled with gifts for my friends." Taehyung lets him know and Jeongguk raises his eyebrow in curiosity.

"You have plans to meet your friends too?"

"Yes? These people were the reason why my university time was as enjoyable as it was. I still talk to them at least once a week, you have no idea how excited they were to see me again. So you bet I'm seeing them." Taehyung says to him. Both of them walk out of the airport together and Taehyung turns around to see his boss coming too.

"What will I do in that time?"

"You are coming with me. They know I'm married, they are already upset they weren't invited to the wedding. They said if you do not come, they will never talk to me again. So get ready to give the performance of your life." Taehyung nudges his shoulder and smiles. Jeongguk starts rethinking his life decisions.

"My driver is here. Let's go, it will take us to the Hotel." Sehoon came in front of them and signaled them to move along. They reached the pickup spot and there was a Rolls Royce parked, waiting for them to get inside.

The three got inside the car. Sehoon got in the passenger seat next to the driver in front and the couple sat in the back together.. The car started to drive, as soon as they moved there were small droplets falling on the window. It's raining, Taehyung chuckled at it. "It won't be London if it doesn't rain at the most random time of the day for like five minutes."

"You sure know a lot about this place."

"Spent five years here, you bet I do." Taehyung responds to him with a smirk.

"It's Taehyung's second home." Sehoon joined in their conversation and Jeongguk wanted to roll his eyes at him. He just gives him a side eye and nods.

"That's true. We are going to have so much fun."

"Like we always do. It's not our first business trip together, you know. We have come to London before and went to Germany too last year around christmas." Sehoon states. It was obvious to Jeongguk what he was trying to do but he didn't want to give him the satisfaction of getting a reaction out of him.

"Though they were both small trips. London was a one day trip, that was the worst day ever. We took two fourteen hour flights in the span of two days technically. Germany was a three day trip too and that was alright. This one though...with Jeongguk with us. It would be amazing." Taehyung grabbed his husband's hand and squeezed it a bit. Sehoon gave a fake chuckle and nodded.

"Yeah, don't worry I won't be bored with your busy boss. If you want to work alone, you should 100% do that too, I would love to spend some 1 on 1 time with my husband." Jeongguk responds too, giving him a cunning smile. Sehoon was not even hiding his glares.

"Yeah, that's not an option. It's not your guy's honeymoon so Taehyung would have to clock in." Sehoon responds before turning back towards the front.

Taehyung and Jeongguk share meaningful glances, trying to hold in their laughter. Both of them stare outside the window to let the views distract them from how funny his reaction was. Still unaware of how their hands were still clasped together.

"Here's your key card sir, hope you enjoy your stay with us." The receptionist gives Sehoon the hotel room key card. He thanks her before turning around to the couple who were still so attached to each other. Jeongguk had his arms resting on Taehyung's waist as both of them laughed about something.

Sehoon coughed to get their attention. Immediately both of them looked at him and waited for him to speak.

"I got the key card. I was only able to book one room for us. So your husband would have to think about where he would stay." Sehoon tells them and both of their faces fall.

"Are you being serious right now?"

"I told you to book two rooms." Taehyung says to him and Sehoon just shrugs.

"Hey, I tried to but they are all booked for the season." Sehoon gives him an excuse and Jeongguk scoffs at him.

"I have no problem finding a place to stay. We have multiple estates in London but you are heavily wrong if you think I would let my husband stay in the same room as you. Should we leave, Taehyung?" Jeongguk states confidently. He goes to grab Taehyung's hands and Taehyung's is grabbed by Sehoon first by his arm as he pulls him towards himself.

"Taehyung can't stay at some other place. The pop up needs our full attention so I could need Taehyung to come at any time and I wouldn't want him to wait. This hotel is the closest to the place." Sehoon speaks and Jeongguk doesn't take him seriously, so he waits for Taehyung to tell his decision.

"Where are your houses, Jeongguk?"

"There's one in Kensington and we also have a penthouse in canary wharf." Jeongguk lets him know. He sees Taehyung contemplating as he calculates if those places are close enough.

"OK, Kensington is closer but still not close enough. I think Sehoon is right, Jeongguk I might have to stay here. I'm so sorry. I think we should check with this hotel again. They must have some room free." Taehyung tells them.

"Be my guest." Sehoon rolls his eyes and lets the couple go and argue with the receptionist as he takes a seat in one of the sofas in the lobby.

The couple approached the front desk, where a young receptionist with a warm smile greeted them. "Good evening. How can I assist you tonight?" she asked.

"Hi, we need a room for the night. We didn't have a reservation," Taehyung said, a hint of anxiety in his voice.

The receptionist's smile faded slightly as she typed into her computer. "I'm so sorry, gentlemen. We're fully booked tonight."

"Fully booked? Not even one room?" Jeongguk raised an eyebrow in suspicion.

"I'm afraid not. There's a big event in town, and we have no vacancies," she replied apologetically.

The couple exchanged a glance, trying to think of a solution. Jeongguk, personally, cannot let Sehoon stay with Taehyung in one room. It would have been a different story if Taehyung liked him then maybe he would have backed off but Taehyung has no interest and he would be uncomfortable with him too. So he would rather fight for him to stay with him than his boss.

"That's quite a problem. We're really in need of a room," Taehyung sighed, letting her know that it is an emergency

The receptionist considered for a moment before speaking again. "Well, there is one option... but it's the Presidential Suite, and it's quite expensive."

Jeongguk smiled confidently. "How expensive are we talking?"

"It's £20,000 a night." the receptionist said, uncertain of their reaction. The amount did shock the couple despite how rich they are. That's a crazy amount for one night.

Taehyung and Jeongguk looked at each other, then back at the receptionist. "We shouldn't, I know we can easily afford it but-" Taehyung tried to whisper.

"We'll take it," Jeongguk said, relaxed.

The receptionist blinked, momentarily stunned. "Are you sure? It's... very luxurious."

"That's exactly what we need tonight," Jeongguk grinned, winking at her before he put his arm around his husband's waist.

Nodding quickly, the receptionist noticed the gesture and smiled, processed their request. "Very well. I'll just need your ID and a credit card for the payment."

Jeongguk handed over their IDs and his credit card for the payment. The receptionist processed the information and handed them a set of keys. "Here's your key card to the Presidential Suite. Enjoy your stay."

"Thank you. We will," Jeongguk smiled.

As they turned towards the elevators, their expressions were a mix of relief and excitement. The receptionist watched them go, still a bit dazed by the unexpected turn of events.

"We got the room, shall we go?" Jeongguk says to Sehoon who was shocked as Jeongguk lifts the key card up.

"H-how? they were fully booked."

"He got the presidential suite." Taehyung replied, watching Jeongguk act so smug. Why was he kind of cute when he is like this?

"Ofcourse you did." Sehoon retreats. He lost against him once again.

"Well let's meet tomorrow, park. My husband and I are tired and are going to rest for the night. Let's go, sweetheart." Jeongguk kisses Taehyung on the cheek. Taehyung nods as they both start to walk towards the elevator. Sehoon watches them leave with rage in his eyes.

It's not over yet. The trip has just started and Sehoon will not back down from a fight. Jeongguk can be the goalkeeper but that wouldn't stop Sehoon from trying to score.
