FEBRUARY 17TH

Jeongguk view

"what do you mean someone broke in? where were the guards?" Jeongguk scowled.

"passed out on the floor." yoongi sighed, ashamed at his own answer.

"are they dead?" Jeongguk asked.

"no, sir." yoongi replied.

"then fire them." Jeongguk growled.

Yoongi nodded. "yes sir."

"how bad is the damage?" Jeongguk sighed.

"fixable. three machines are completely gone, though."

Jeongguk nodded. "okay. i'll visit the casino later and see for myself."

"what are my orders?" yoongi asked.

"check how much money was stolen. you're free after that to train." Jeongguk said.

Yoongi nodded, then bowed. "yes sir." he answered before leaving the room.

As he left, seokjin entered with a large smile, making Jeongguk groan.

"get out." Jeongguk grunted.

Seokjin grinned wider. "nuh uh. i have questions."

"if they are irrelevant, leave."

"is tae considered irrelevant?" seokjin raised a brow.

"of course not." Jeongguk said.

"then let me talk." seokjin rolled his eyes and Jeongguk growled from the disrespect.

"first, how was valentines day?" seokjin smirked.

"good."

"what did you and tae do?"

"stuff."

"romantic stuff?"

"yes."

"and you bought him a gift?"

"yes."

"what was it?"

"its not your buisness."

"did you have, uh, intercourse?"

"what do you think?" Jeongguk smirked.

Seokjin gasped. "you did!?"

Jeongguk sighed. "please get out while im asking nicely."

"dont you ever consider me as a friend?" seokjin huffed.

"never." Jeongguk stated.

"well you need to socialise."

"i do."

"you have no friends."

"taehyung." Jeongguk said.

"he's your boyfriend." seokjin laughed.

"i still socialise with him."

Seokjin huffed. "i try so hard for nothing." he muttered to himself, mock crying.

Jeongguk rolled his eyes. "get out."

---

"how much will it cost for repairs, yoongi?" jeongguk asked.

Currently, he and yoongi were at itaewon, examining how bad the break in was at the casino.

"i calculated a couple thousand." yoongi sighed.

Jeongguk nodded, staring at the broken glass peices on the floor. "did you check the cameras?" he asked.

"yes. it was minjoons men." yoongi replied. "they waited more than a month to take revenge. my gut tells me this isnt the only thing they are planning." 

Jeongguks fists clenched. "dont retaliate for now. we'll wait for their next move, so always be on guard."

"yes sir." yoongi said.

Jeongguk nodded, about to reply until his phone rang, cutting him off.

"yes?" he answered.

"hey gguk. i was wondering when you'll be home."  taehyungs voice was heard.

Jeongguks frown disappeared, big smile on his face from hearing taehyung.

"im finished. i'll be home in a bit." Jeongguk said.

"okay! im done picking out a book like you asked." taehyung giggled shortly after.

"good. me and yoongi are leaving now so dont start reading without me." Jeongguk grinned even though taehyung couldnt see.

"dont worry ggu! bye. i love you."

"i love you, tae. bye."

Taehyung view

Taehyung was sat on jeongguks bed, book on his lap as he patiently waited for the other.

Jeongguk told him earlier to pick out a book they could read together, instead of watching a movie for once.

And Taehyung picked one called 'lord of the flies' finding the blurb very interesting.

The door opened and taehyung grinned when jeongguk came in, who looked equally happy to see taehyung.

"you're free for the rest of the day right?" taehyung asked hopefully, noticing jeongguk was spending time with him when it was still light outside.

Jeongguk stripped of his blazer and shirt, leaving his dress pants on only just so he was more comfortable. Taehyung blushed when he realised the man wasnt going to put anything else on.

Jeongguk got on the bed and sat against the headboard, patting his lap as he looked at taehyung.

Taehyung crawled over to jeongguk , straddling him innocently, book still in his hands.

"we have the whole day to ourselves." jeongguk smiled softly, running his hand through taehyungs hair.

Taehyung squealed, about to jump whilst sitting on jeongguks lap but fortunately the man held his hips before he could do so.

"what book did you choose?" jeongguk asked.

"lord of the flies." taehyung replied. "have you read it before?"

Jeongguk shook his head. "how about you start it off by yourself whilst i take a little nap, okay? im feeling a bit tired." he said, hands slipping under taehyungs shirt to rest on his bare skin.

Taehyung pouted, upset jeongguk might send him to another room.

"i'll be right here next to you, baby. dont worry." jeongguk cooed.

Taehyung then smiled, nodding his head. He got off jeongguks lap and watched as the man layed down properly, thereafter giving taehyung a signal to rest his head on his thighs.

Taehyung did so and made himself comfortable, body also stretching out on the bed.

He opened the book and started reading silently, letting jeongguk fall asleep.

---

A few minutes later taehyung was getting an ache from staying in one position for too long.

so he decided to sit up against the headboard, slowly lifting jeongguks head to let it rest on his belly, knowing that the older liked it.

He smiled in comfort, moving on to the next page, enjoying the book and also glanced at jeongguks sleepy face from time to time.

---

Jeongguk woke up from his nap, looking up to see a book right above him.

He didnt want to move as he was so comfortable from laying on taehyung so he stayed like that for a few seconds more before getting up.

"you're up." taehyung beamed.

Jeongguk nodded, running a hand through his hair. "how far in are you?" he asked.

"two chapters." taehyung said.

"mhm." jeongguk hummed lazily and easily lifted taehyung up so he was sitting inbetween his legs instead.

Taehyung giggled, snuggling up against jeongguks bare chest.

"ggukie?"

"yes?"

"c-can you please read to me?" taehyung asked shyly.

Jeongguk smiled. "of course, petal." he took the book from taehyungs hands.

"where from?"

"line four." taehyung smiled.

Jeongguk cleared his throat.

"he was a shrimp of a boy, about six years old, and one side of his face was blotted out. . ." 

Taehyung sighed and closed his eyes in relaxation as he listened to jeongguks soothing voice and felt calming touches on his waist.

He wished he and jeongguk could stay like this together in eachothers company, reading books, watching movies, eating food. whatever it may be.

He just knew he had to treasure moments like this, so it would stay in his mind forever.

So he listened, listened to his lover read to him per command.

The golden sun rays illuminated the dark room and settled on the two boys on the bed, lighting their bodies with a glimmering glow and sparkle.

The faint sound of a thin peice of paper being turned over filled the silence as jeongguk paused and taehyung swore he could have fallen asleep from how serene it felt.

Then jeongguk continued after looking down at taehyung.

" .  .  . brought light and happiness .  .  . "
