[ Revelation ] 

(Kind of, I'm not totally sure about this translation, but it's like when you figure out something ??)

✦

The night has been quite calm and relaxing for both men. Jungkook had almost slept through the night, but had been woken up by horrible pain in his shoulder in the middle of the night. After thirty minutes trying to sleep again, he had succeeded. And Taehyung had slept perfectly well. He felt protected in the black haired's arms, and against his body, he had no trouble sleeping. The first to wake up was Jungkook. At eight thirty in the morning, the killer had emerged. He found Taehyung still against him, his right arm around his waist like they had fallen asleep. This sight was weird for him, really. It was strange because, none of the two boys knew this proximity between them.

« Mmh... » Taehyung mumbled, still asleep.

The assassin's eyes fell on the hazel haired teacher. His eyebrows frowned, his face looked tense. 

« I... Jimin, Jinnie. » He mumbled once again.

Intrigued by those two names, Jungkook focused more on his hostage. The grip on his waist was tightened by Taehyung, but he obviously didn't realize.

« He... Not say... Name. The hazel haired kept talking in his sleep. Handsome. » 

Suddenly, Jungkook bursted in laughter. He started laughing in a particular way and it had been so long since he had laughed like this. Not even with Hoseok. And it was the first time he laughed with Taehyung around him. Only now, it was too much for him. He was certain that the teacher was talking about him, but the last word had been completely unexpected. Without realizing it, Jungkook was laughing way too loud and his voice woke the teacher up. 

« Ahh... Taehyung yawned, snuggling further against Jungkook's neck. I slept well- But !? » He stopped himself when he noticed that he was willingly snuggling against his kidnapper.

« What ? » The black haired snickered.

« Why the hell... Am I against you ? »

« Did you forget yesterday night already ? » The younger mocked him.

Now, everything was clearer in Taehyung's mind. He remembered this tumultuous evening quite quickly. First, Jungkook had come home pissed off, his injuries and the moment in the bathroom and finally, his meltdown in front of Jungkook. Everything came back, making him confused. Confused because, he had slept with Jungkook, against him, and the worse thing is that he had slept so well that he had almost forgot where he was.

« Do you remember ? » The black haired teased him.

« I... Why did we do that ? » His voice was shaky, shocked.

« You're saying that as if we had crossed a forbidden line. We just slept together, uh, nothing happened- »

« Yeah, yeah, I know. He interrupted him, embarrassed. But... No, nevermind. »

Jungkook wanted to know what the teacher was going to say but in the end, he stopped himself from asking. Instead, his teasing look hadn't left. Since Taehyung had stood up, panicking about the proximity, the killer also got up to rest his back against the wall. He was still shirtless, so he grabbed a pillow to hide himself, to avoid disturbing the teacher. Finally, he spoke up. 

« So... I'm handsome ? » He mumbled, his eyes were malicious.

« W-What ? » Taehyung retorted, hiding behind the blanket.

« You said it. »

« When !? » He panicked.

« In your sleep. » The killer was smiling.

Too embarrassed by the teasing tone Jungkook was using, Taehyung turned around. His back was now facing the assassin. His eyes tried to focus on something else instead of the annoying young boy behind him.

« Eh, it's fine, I'm kidding. » Jungkook snickered.

« You could have kept that to yourself. He sighed. Because of that, I won't sleep with you anymore. » Taehyung mumbled, overwrought.

Surprised by the teacher's cute reaction, Jungkook's smile grew bigger. His eyes were not leaving the teacher, who wouldn't look at him.

« Don't say that, you loved it. » He mocked.

« I didn't love it, dumbass. I was weak yesterday. » Still looking away, he retorted.

The killer straightened up in the bed, before stretching his left arm, being careful while moving his right shoulder.

« You stayed snuggled up against me the whole night. I'm sure you liked sleeping by my side. He mumbled, malicious. And it's fine, we all have weak moments. »

Taehyung was still turning his back to Jungkook, but upon hearing those words, he wanted to turn around. But he just discreetly looked at Jungkook.

« Even you ? » The hazel haired whispered.

« I have no tears left to cry, but I still feel inside pain when I don't feel ok. »

He told the older, as if it was obvious. Taehyung listened carefully to those words with too much meaning to his liking. It was like Jungkook was calling himself insensitive.

« You don't cry anymore ? » He asked, hesitating.

« No Taehyung. »

Then the assassin stood up, revealing his scarred back once again. Taehyung sat up, he was meditating the black haired's words. What he had told him, it pained him. Jungkook had a human side, though it was well hidden or hard to access. And it peaked the teacher's interest, because he always wondered why the man was like this, at such a young age. Tight lipped, he saw Jungkook walked in front of him to open the bedroom's window. He then walked to his drawer and, without a word, picked some clean clothes for Taehyung and him. 

« Here, I'll take a shower. You can go after me. » He said.

He walked towards the door but the teacher stopped him, confused.

« W-Wait. »

Jungkook stopped, turning to face Taehyung, eyes wandering on the teacher's face.

« How are you gonna do with your shoulder ? You shouldn't wet your injury too much. »

Surprised by this advice, Jungkook relaxed.

« I'll be careful. You can go and get breakfast, don't wait for me. »

And there, he disappeared in the bathroom. Taehyung stood up, still a bit sleepy. He thought about the night, his cheeks heating up and he had the urge to punch himself. Because it was ridiculous to act this way. In fact, he found himself ridiculous, especially since last night. How could he let himself slip like that ? Sleeping in this young man's arms, really, was shameful. Taehyung really had the urge to throw his fist in his own face. What's worse, is that he had slept well, so well that it left him confused. Normally, sleeping in Jungkook's arms shouldn't have been a good thing. 

Though Taehyung couldn't lie to himself, this night had been the best night he had since he was here. In thirty four days. He had fallen asleep peacefully, in the warmth of the killer's embrace, with no worries. It was incomprehensible. But it was the case, and the teacher had no right to lie. Not to himself. He sniffled, feelings mixed up. He grabbed the black haired's clothes with him and walked to the kitchen. In a silence that he liked, he made some coffee for himself and for Jungkook. Then he grabbed something to eat, but not too much. He wasn't really hungry this morning.

About fifteen minutes later, Jungkook got out of the shower, all cleaned up, with a masculine scent that was not good for the teacher. This perfume that the black haired wore was a bit too sweet, but charming at the same time. It was a really dangerous mix. Dressed up in black, he came to join Taehyung, thanking him for making coffee.

« Your bandage, I need to change it. » Taehyung said.

« Later, you should eat first. And I can do it, you know. »

« No, I'll do it, it's better. » The hazel haired man insisted.

They looked at each other, softly. Jungkook's black hair was wet, it was pretty. Different, but Taehyung liked this aspect of his hair, though he wouldn't tell the killer. The hazel haired was secretive. After that, they didn't talk. They just drank their coffee and cleaned their mug. Then Taehyung grabbed the clean clothes that he was going to wear, and Jungkook followed him, silently. They stepped in the fogged-up bathroom. Before even thinking about showering, the teacher grabbed what he needed to clean the killer's injury, and some sterile compresses to bandage the deep injury up.

As if naturally, Jungkook removed his shirt, like the day before. It was natural but it shouldn't be. Because the black haired didn't like showing himself, because of the scars he had and because of eventual questions he could get because of them. But with Taehyung, maybe it was different for he had not asked any questions about it yet. And the teacher was insisting, Jungkook couldn't always refuse his help, it was useless. And so, Taehyung started his task. He checked that no others bullet shards had came out since the night before, and thankfully for both of them, there was none.

« It's better than yesterday but it will need care every day until it subsides. » Taehyung said in a hoarse voice.

This time he was standing up in the bathroom, Jungkook was sitting on the only chair. The assassin looked up in his hostage's eyes, he held back a sigh.

« You'll do that everytime ? »

Slowly, Taehyung pressed the compress on the injury, staying focused on his gestures.

« Yes. »

« Cool. » The black haired snickered.

Shocked, the older looked down at Jungkook.

« Cool ? »

« Yeah. »

« Why is it cool ? » He mumbled, confused.

« Forget it... »

Bandages in hand, the hazel haired frowned. He started to bandage the killer's injuried shoulder, keeping up with the discussion.

« Are you happy you've been shot ? »

« Absolutely not, it's an insult to my capacities. » He retorted immediately. 

« Why is it cool then ? » 

Tired of the hazel haired's stubborness, Jungkook groaned. Why did he let this word slip out ? It was a stupid mistake.

« Because I got a little guy taking care of me. »

Surprised, Taehyung tensed. He prefered not to answer. He had nothing to reply to that anyway. It was embarrassing him. So he didn't say anything, he just applied the cream on the killer's forearm and some on his face, keeping a certain distance between them.

« Stop being embarrassed, it's useless with me. » Jungkook precised.

« Stop saying these kind of things then, it makes me uncomfortable. Taehyung mumbled. I'm done. »

The killer's legs straightened up, making him stood up. He stepped away to give the teacher space, and went to close the bathroom's door. With the chair turned back to the shower, he sat down, facing the white door. As he always did when he stayed in the bathroom to watch Taehyung. He wasn't looking at him, he looked at the wall in front of him. And that, Taehyung couldn't deny that he appreciated Jungkook's respectful behaviour towards his privacy and nudity.

« Can I... Take a bath ? » Taehyung softly mumbled, shyly.

Jungkook turned around to look at the hazel haired, he was speechless from the teacher's stupid question.

« Of course you can, what is this question. »

« Ok... I didn't know. » He replied.

A sigh escaped the killer's lips and he turned back to face the door. He had grabbed a little notebook along with a pen, to write down the things they were going to talk about. He heard the teacher taking off his clothes behind him. The water was already running in the bathtub, to make it faster. Taehyung really wanted to relax this morning, that's why he had asked this question to Jungkook.

He finished taking off his clothes, being completely naked a few inches away from the black haired who wasn't saying anything and wasn't looking. And to the hazel haired's luck, the bathtub was filling up rather quickly. So he could step inside, pouring some shower gel to create foam around him and also hide his nudity once inside. Back against the cold wall, Taehyung relaxed even though Jungkook was in the same room. It didn't disturb him anymore, because he knew the black haired wasn't trying to take a peak. A dozen of minutes passed, none of them talked, waiting for the bath to finish filling up. And when Taehyung turned the faucet off, Jungkook finally spoke.

« Great, we can discuss about what you want. » The black haired man said, voice low.

The discussion was ready to start, Taehyung being naked in the bathtub and Jungkook sitting down facing the door. But strangely, it wasn't disturbing them that much, well, especially the younger. The teacher was still embarrassed during these kind of scenes between the two men. But the moment was here, and he was going to have to take it upon himself.
