The next day, Jeongguk went to the company at his usual hour, and Taehyung woke up early despite that he didn't have a photoshoot. Since he was making more money now, he wanted to go to the mall and spoil himself a little.

Well, one thing for sure, he definitely needed new clothes. But he also wanted to buy a little something for Jeongguk. He hadn't gotten him anything for his birthday, and although Jeongguk said that he didn't like presents, he wanted to buy him something.

His birthday was almost four weeks ago, but he hadn't forgotten about it. He just really, really didn't know what to get him. Jeongguk was a billionaire who had literally everything. And while the intention was what mattered rather than the gift, he wanted to give him something that would have a meaning.

So since he wanted to buy some clothes for himself, it wouldn't hurt to look for a present for Jeongguk. Maybe after looking around, he would be able to think of something.

       
Once he freshened up and wore comfy clothes, he went to the kitchen to drink some water, and he was ready to leave. What made him grin in utter excitement was a note that was attached to the door.

    
Baby <3

You didn't think I would leave you another note huh? I bet you're smiling from ear to ear right now and I wish I was there to see you. If you wake up early and you miss me (you better be missing me right now), stop by the company because I definitely miss you. Have a great day baby and take care, I love you.
    

Taehyung giggled softly in every single sentence as he read his heart-melting note. Leaving these notes for Taehyung was the most adorable thing ever for him, and it made him feel so loved. Although Jeongguk said these three words to him yesterday and he didn't say them back, the feelings were mutual. As much as he wanted to say it back, he was afraid to voice it out. He had only said it to his grandmother and his friends, so it was kind of a big deal for him.

He folded the note and put it in his pocket before exiting the house. He skipped down the road, going towards the bus stop. That day had started downright well for him. Once he found a seat on the bus, he took his phone out and texted the younger.

     
Taehyung: You're the most adorable thing ever, Kookie. Thank you for this, it really made my day. I'm going to the mall now, I want to buy some clothes and if I finish early, I'll stop by to give you lots and lots of kisses <3
      

The ride to the mall wasn't that long, so after fifteen minutes, he arrived. He entered every clothing store one after another without necessarily buying something. To be honest, he missed wandering around various stores and browsing through different items.

Satisfied with his purchases, he had roamed around for about two hours and decided to go outside and have some ice cream at a cute, small ice cream store he had spotted before entering the mall.

He picked two flavors he had never picked before. Ferrero rocher and caramel. He rarely went for ice cream, and when he did, he would always pick vanilla or chocolate because they were the cheapest.

When he took his cup of ice cream, he sat at an empty table outside with a broad smile. Carefree, he began eating while observing the crowd of people who walked by in front of him, everyone in their own little world. As he browsed around the place, he spotted a street artist who was currently painting on a big canvas. Curiosity built up in him, and he found himself trudging closer, still taking small scoops of his ice cream.

Once he got closer, he saw other paintings around the young artist and stood there agape, gazing at them. He peeped at the one he was painting at the moment and his eyes enlarged in amazement. It was a landscape with an array of colors, and somehow, he made it look so lively and real.

"Hello!" A young couple appeared, making Taehyung flinch a tad and glance at them.

"Good morning. What can I do for you?" the young artist asked with a smile as he stopped what he was doing.

"Can you paint us?"

"Sure. Please choose the size of your portrait." He gestured towards some canvases he had behind him. There were various sizes, from a postcard size to a two-meter canvas. Taehyung watched as the couple chose an average size canvas, and the young artist started drawing after the couple took the pose they wanted.

Now finished with his ice cream, he threw the cup in a nearby trash can and eagerly peeked at the portrait the young artist was painting. Although it wasn't finished, he was left astonished by how talented he was. It had the feeling that it was similar to a picture taken by a camera because of how meticulously and well painted it was.

Taehyung stayed there until the young artist finished the portrait. The couple seemed very excited about the result, and after thanking him and paying him, they left. He scoped as the boy arranged his stuff and reached for the canvas he was painting before. Once he got hold of the canvas, he ceased his movements momentarily and laid his eyes on Taehyung.

"Can I help you with something?" An affable smile was etched on his lips as he spoke.

"Um, sorry for staring, you're really talented."

"Thank you. Do you want me to paint you something?"

Taehyung pondered over it for a moment. "Can you make a portrait out of a picture?"

"Sure."

Taehyung's face blazed with elation as he slipped his phone out of his pocket. "This picture." He showed him a picture he had taken with Jeongguk at the beautiful place with the lake a week ago. "I think I want the big size?"

"You don't sound so sure," the young artist teased, making him chuckle.

"Yeah, because I'm not. I want to gift it to my boyfriend."

"How about the average size then? Not too small, not too big. And if you're not satisfied, you can always come back and I'll make you a new one."

"Yes, thank you."

Taehyung spectated closely the artist's brisk and smooth moves the whole time, and after half an hour, he was almost done. "Can you write 'Kookie And Tae' at the corner? And under that, maybe, I love you?"

The boy chuckled softly at his request. "Ah, love. The most painful but beautiful thing ever existed."

"Painful?"

"Well, ever heard of one-sided love? It's awfully painful."

Taehyung could sense a spark of bitterness in his tone and couldn't help the tiny pout that bloomed on his lips. "Not really. I didn't have many relationships."

"You're lucky to be loved by the one you love." He just finished the painting and handed it over to him.

"Wow," he uttered, all out amazed by the result.

"I'm guessing you like it."

"I do, it's amazing," Taehyung said, still in awe. "Thank you so much."

"You're welcome." He accepted his payment then with a warm smile.

"I hope you find the one you will love and will love you back."

"And I hope you'll never lose yours." The young artist bowed his head as a goodbye, and Taehyung strolled off.

He called Hanae since he had a lot of things with him and didn't want to risk ruining the painting on the bus. He waited for about ten minutes until he finally arrived. They chatted continuously along the way to the house, and when they reached their destination, Taehyung hid the painting in his room and left his bags before going back to the car.

Although he had only one hour left before his shift, he wanted to stop by the company to see the younger even for ten minutes.

Jeongguk was utterly happy when he saw the boy enter his office and burst out of his chair to crush him in his hug. They shared a myriad of kisses in these ten minutes, as well as sweet talk and hugs.

Unwillingly, they said goodbye to each other, and Taehyung went for his shift. He was thrilled about giving the gift to him, and he really couldn't wait. These five hours passed by so slowly for him it felt like torture. But once Jeongguk arrived, time seemed to race again.

It was funny, actually, how time seemed to still when they were apart, and how fast it seemed to pass when they were together.

. . .

Upon entering the house, they sat in the living room, and Jeongguk unwrapped their takeout. It was silent at first as they were focused on their food, idly watching whatever was on TV.

"So how was your shopping experience after so many years?"

"It was great, Kookie! I walked around for hours and bought some really nice clothes. Then I had some ice cream and, um, that's about it." He gave him an uneasy smile and glanced away. He almost blurted out that he met that young artist and ruined the surprise.

The younger eyed him through doubtful eyes as he was able to discern how awkward he became at the end. "What else did you do, Tae?"

"Um, nothing really. I called Hanae to come and pick me up since I had to carry a lot of things and then I came to you."

Jeongguk hummed as he finished his food and reclined in his seat. "Why do I feel like something else happened too?"

And he could only pout and stomp his feet in tiny. "Because I'm not good at hiding things," he muttered in a whiny tone as he made his way into his hug.

"You're so adorable, baby." He chuckled fondly as he curled his arm around his shoulders and kissed the top of his head. "What is it?"

The black-haired boy raised his head and fixed his gaze on him. "I got you a present."

"Really? Why?"

"Because I didn't get you anything for your birthday and I've been thinking about what to get you in the last four weeks. I didn't forget about it."

"Baby, I told you, you're way better than any present. You didn't have to," Jeongguk uttered as he cupped his cheeks and pecked his lips multiple times.

"I wanted to give you something at least. You have given me so many things. It's not anything fancy, and it's definitely not a whole house, but I think it's cute."

Jeongguk chuckled as he pressed another kiss on his lips. "Well, we definitely don't need any more houses," he sneered, causing the other to giggle. "I'm sure I'm gonna love it." He caressed his cheek with his knuckles as he gazed at the gorgeous boy in front of him through fond eyes.

"I can't wait to show you!" he chirped and exploded out of his seat, startling him. He grabbed his hand and practically dragged him to his room, both giggling in the process.

"Okay, close your eyes," Taehyung said once they arrived, and he did without protest. He dashed to the closet to take the canvas out, and his heart started pounding hard as he made his way back to him. He truly wanted the younger to like it. He held the painting in front of his chest and drew in a deep breath. "Open them."

Jeongguk's smiley expression altered to a stunned one upon seeing the painting. "Tae," he breathed out as he took the canvas in his hands and eyed it in depth. "It's so beautiful."

His gaze fell on the right bottom corner and his jaw went slack. He darted his eyes at the boy then, surprise swirling in them.

"I know I'm late, but... I love you too, Jeongguk," he said in a hushed tone. "Fuck, it's so terrifying to say it out loud." He clenched his shaky hands into fists as he dropped his head.

Jeongguk left the painting on the bed behind him and engulfed him into a tight hug. "I know, baby, it's scary for me too." He placed tender kisses on the side of his head. "But it feels so, so good to love you. And to be loved by you." He held his fretful face and planted kisses on his forehead.

"You can't... you can't leave me, Jeongguk, ever," he whispered as he squeezed his eyes shut and grasped his shirt rather desperately. "You managed to make me the happiest I've ever been in such a short period of time." He felt a gentle hand wipe the few tears that escaped his closed eyes. "Thinking that I'll wake up one day and you won't be in my life anymore is really painful." His body trembled with a sudden sob that crawled up his throat, and Jeongguk could only hold him tighter.

"Shh, baby, I won't leave you. This thought is just as painful to me. I don't want to leave you. I can't leave you. I'm so, so in love with you, baby, I love you so much. And I don't care if it's only been a month. You managed to make me feel so many things, things I've never felt before, things I had no idea that existed. Spending one day without you now feels impossible," he said as he rubbed soothing circles on his back.

Taehyung peppered soft kisses on his neck and shoulder. "You're so perfect, Kookie, you're making me so happy," he uttered against his skin before placing an open-mouth kiss on the same spot.

"Baby," Jeongguk breathed out as he pressed their bodies together and tightened his grip around him even more.

"I want you, Kook, I want you so much." He nibbled his soft skin, evoking a mild moan from him. "I want to feel you. I'm so desperate about you."

Jeongguk picked him up, and the older fastened his legs around him without delay. He smashed their lips together as he strode towards his bedroom.

Taehyung ground against him and moaned uncontrollably by his hands that groped his ass and his sinful tongue that hungrily brushed against his.

He laid him in the bed and took off his shirt before he reached for the lube and a condom. "You drive me crazy, Kim Taehyung," he said as he climbed over him and undressed him. "The only thing you did was kiss my neck and you made me hard as fuck." He gave wet kisses on his jawline, making his way to his earlobe.

He sucked and bit his earlobe, his hot breath hitting the other's skin, leading his whole body to twitch at the blissful feeling. "You're so beautiful, baby." He shifted further down, briefly stopping to his neck to lick his soft skin and bite it. He trailed kisses on his chest and suckled his hardened bud, earning choked moans and whimpers from the shaking boy beneath him.

With a series of open-mouth kisses, he settled between his legs and pulled down his pants with his boxers. Instantly, he dove into his crotch and slurped his balls as he ran his thumb over the slit.

He wrapped his lips around his aching erection and bobbed his head at a rather fast pace, tasting his precum in the process. Taehyung's hands were now tangled in his hair, and he tugged it roughly every time the younger deepthroated him.

He took hold of the lube and coated three fingers before tossing it to his side. He rubbed his hole with one as he pulled his mouth off his length to catch his breath but continued licking his cock and sucking his balls. He embedded a finger into him, causing the boy to cry out a booming moan.

"Fuck! Jeongguk—I'm gonna—ah." He squirmed violently by how good it felt to have his tongue on his erection and his fingers inside him, abusing his tight hole. Jeongguk was quick enough to deepthroat him again as he added another finger and thrust them in and out at a quick rhythm.

With his hips jerking upwards and a stream of whines, Taehyung came deep in his mouth soon enough. The younger's movements slowed down a notch, and when he stopped twitching, he took his fingers out.

"You're so hot when you cum, and fuck, you taste so good," Jeongguk said with a deadly low voice and a smirk on his lips as he got on top of him.

"Let me see then," he purred as he pulled him into a sloppy, heated kiss. Their tongues collided right away and danced together fiercely as they ground against each other. Although Taehyung struggled a bit, he managed to flip him over and slithered down to his cock without wasting a second.

"Baby, if you suck me, I'm gonna cum in like ten seconds."

"I want to taste you too," he uttered, lewdness dripping from his tone, as he shoved his pants down with his boxers.

"Fuck, Taehyung, fuck." He groaned once he took his cock in his mouth and swirled his tongue around the head. He bounced his head fast and pressed his tongue against his dick at all times.

"You suck me so well, baby," he breathed out as he gawked at the sight in a daze. With his unholy mouth that was wrapped around his painfully hard erection and his hand that followed the movement of his head, it didn't take him more than fifteen seconds to cum with heaps of grunts.

Once he spilled all of his cum inside his mouth, he pulled the older to him and kissed him voraciously. He turned him around so he could be on top again without breaking the kiss and tucked his bottom lip between his lips, sucking it, biting it.

After their needy, torrid make-out session that lasted for a while, Jeongguk went downwards and grabbed the lube to squirt some on his fingers again. He didn't have to spread his legs because Taehyung had already done that, waiting for him to wreck his tight hole with his long fingers.

Soon enough, two fingers were popped into him, scissoring him open as Jeongguk suckled his balls. "So tight around my fingers. Can't wait to feel how it will be with my cock inside you, baby." He locked eyes with Taehyung, who was once again a moaning mess.

"Fuck, Kook—ah." He could only mewl at the heavenly good feeling as his body shuddered on repeat.

After a while, Jeongguk slipped the third finger inside him and decreased his pace to help him get used to the feeling. "So hard and wet only for me." He swallowed his cock to the root to distract him from the pain.

He started pushing his fingers in and out harder since Taehyung seemed to relax little by little. He could feel his own dick ooze precum only by sucking him off and fucking him with his fingers.

When he made sure he was stretched enough, he rolled the condom on his erection and drenched it with lube. He positioned himself between his legs again and rubbed his cock against his rim. He eased into him, stopping every now and then to make the pain bearable.

He leaned down and peppered sweet, loving kisses all over his face and lips. "You're doing really well, baby, that's right, breathe for me."

"You're amazing, Kookie," he rasped as a faint smile tugged at his lips.

"Can't compete with you, love." He returned the smile as he ran his fingers through his hair.

After about two minutes of sugary kisses and gentle caresses, Jeongguk started moving at a slow pace. Automatically, both moaned at the ecstatic feeling, and the younger buried his face into the crook of his neck, leaving love bites.

Taehyung's hands roamed on his back as he pressed his head deeper into the pillow in pure bliss. He was now meeting his thrusts keenly as there was more pleasure than pain. "Fuck, Kook—" He moaned once and twice and thrice, his whole body burning by the feeling of his big cock slamming inside him at a faster tempo now.

Jeongguk straightened his back and raised his legs, placing them against his chest and over his shoulders. The new position brought deeper penetration and more tightness around his cock, instantly leading him to toss his head back with a stifled groan.

He gripped his legs as he picked up his pace and rammed his dick inside him, skin slapping blasting out through the room. That seemed to make Taehyung lose it since a string of desperate moans mixed with whines flew off his mouth, and he clutched the bedsheets so tightly his knuckles turned white.

"Fuck," Jeongguk said through his panting, the feeling too overwhelming and like absolute ecstasy. He was close, and he knew the older was close too since he clenched around his cock nonstop. He curled his hand around his erection and pumped him as fast as he penetrated his already abused hole.

"Yes, baby, cum for me," he choked out once he noticed how he writhed by overstimulation.

"Jeongguk!" he cried out as hot cum spewed from his cock, his hips rolling with every burst.

Jeongguk didn't need anything more to cum. By how he clenched around him and with his beautiful, bawdy moans, he was driven over the edge. He struck his cock into him one last time and came with a sonorous grunt. He uttered near-silent curses and exclamations as he rode off his high.

He collapsed on top of him and captured his lips into a hungry, fiery kiss. "How perfect can you be?"

"Not as much as you." He grinned as he twined his arms around his back. "You know I have cum all over me, right?"

"Damn, you're right, I should have licked it off first," Jeongguk said rather lewdly as he drew a kiss on his lips, and both chuckled, gazing at each other with utter fondness and love. "You're such an angel, baby. I love you so much."

"I love you too, Kookie," he said against his lips and then claimed them into a sweet, tender kiss.

The younger went to the bathroom after a moment to clean up before helping the other clean up as well. They hived in the bed, holding each other tightly as their legs were knotted together. There was nothing left to be said between the two — their eyes spoke louder than anything else at that moment.

What else could they need since they had the one they loved and the one who loved them right there, in their hug?
