Jungkook stretched after a long day of cleaning, wondering if the mail had come yet. He knew he'd hesitated for a while on sending his last letter since he wasn't confident in his looks compared to Taehyung. He had admired the fact that Taehyung had continued to send an absolute stranger pictures of himself and get to know him.

Jungkook walked over towards his door, curious if he'd be receiving a letter from Taehyung today. He touched his hand to the doorknob, hesitating for a moment before throwing his door open to check his mailbox. Sure enough, there was a letter addressed to Jungkook from Taehyung sitting on the very top of the stack of mail.

Jungkook smiled as he quickly collected his mail, the letter from Taehyung pressed firmly against his chest as he skipped back towards his apartment door. He shut the door behind him and dropped the rest of his mail by the front door as he walked over towards his couch. He quickly plopped down on the couch and tore the envelope open to find a lot of pictures of various things and a postcard. Jungkook quickly plucked the postcard from the envelope to read before looking at the pictures.

Jungkook felt his heart soar from Taehyung's words, his face heating up as well. He didn't think he could compare to someone like Taehyung in beauty, but Taehyung appeared just as captivated by him as Jungkook was captivated by Taehyung. He was also grateful that Taehyung didn't mind if he sent nude photos or not, which made him feel somewhat more secure.

He sifted through the photos that Taehyung had sent him within this envelope, stopping on a particular photo because Taehyung looked effervescent, even though it looked as if someone else had taken the photo. As Jungkook picked the photo up off of his couch cushion, he couldn't help but think that Taehyung looked like a prince in the photo.

Jungkook felt his heart rate pick up as he stared at the photo, his mouth dry as he swallowed hard. If he could only kiss the man in this photo once, Jungkook knew for a fact that he'd see heaven. His fingers trembled as he held the photo, pulling the photo closer to him as he hugged it to his chest. He was certainly looking forward to seeing Taehyung sooner rather than later.

Jungkook felt a dull ache between his legs and groaned when he realized how sexually aroused he was just by this picture. He bit his lower lip, his mind devoid of any other thoughts than Taehyung being here with him. He wondered if he should indulge in his sexual desires or if he should respect the fact that Taehyung sends him these pictures.

His mind felt fuzzy as he pondered deeply about his options before reluctantly placing the photo on his coffee table. He couldn't very well desecrate the photos that Taehyung was sending him because what if Taehyung wanted to see them all when they finally did meet. Even if he didn't get anything on the photos, he'd still feel like Taehyung would be able to tell if he masturbated to his picture.

Jungkook groaned softly, his eyes shifting back and forth between the photos and his bathroom. He cleared his throat and stood to his feet, walking away from the photograph towards the bathroom. Halting in the hallway, he peeked around the corner before snagging the picture off of the coffee table and rushing into his bathroom anyway. His fear of being judged right now be damned.

Taehyung walked into the lobby of his hotel that overlooked a magnificent park after a night of wandering the town. He'd been here for a few days now, sightseeing and waiting on Jungkook's next letter before moving onto the next state and the next hotel. He strolled up to the front desk to see if he had any mail but before he could even ask, the concierge shoved a large packet into Taehyung's hands with a pleasant smile.

Taehyung glanced over the packet several times before realizing that it was from Jungkook. He stared at it in astonishment before nodding at the concierge and walking towards the elevator to get to his floor. Taehyung's mind raced with ideas as to what could be so large that Jungkook had to send a package rather than just a meager envelope.

Once the elevator indicated that he was on the correct floor, Taehyung stepped out and glanced around him. Noticing that there was nobody wandering about in the corridor, in his excitement, he raced down the hallway to make it to his room faster. When he arrived in front of his door, he quickly inserted the key and rushed inside before closing the door and locking all the locks on the door.

He threw his body onto his bed with the package laid out in front of him and stretched out before excitedly ripping into the package. He poured the contents out onto his bed and his eyes lit up at all the different snacks and sweets he remembered from home. He sifted through everything, pushing the sweets aside for the postcard, pictures, and letter first and foremost. The letter was what Taehyung was really looking for until his eyes landed on one of the pictures Jungkook had sent him.

Taehyung felt his heart skip a beat as he smiled at the serious expression on Jungkook's soft face. It was the perfect image for Jungkook to include in his package as Taehyung opened the letter up hastily to read, ripping the paper in two. Taehyung gasped loudly, his hands shaking with anxiety as he pushed the two pieces together and groaned softly. "No! I wanted to keep that," he cried out loud, frustrated with himself as he rolled off of his bed to procure some tape.

He quickly returned with a piece of tape, pressing it where he ripped the paper with a discontent sigh. He picked the piece of paper up and began to read what Jungkook had written:

Taehyung~ F̶o̶r̶ ̶s̶o̶m̶e̶ ̶r̶e̶a̶s̶o̶n̶,̶ ̶w̶h̶e̶n̶ ̶y̶o̶u̶ ̶c̶a̶l̶l̶e̶d̶ ̶m̶e̶ ̶J̶u̶n̶g̶k̶o̶o̶k̶-̶a̶h̶,̶ ̶m̶y̶ ̶f̶a̶c̶e̶ ̶h̶e̶a̶t̶e̶d̶ ̶u̶p̶.̶ Please ignore that, I still don't know what I'm saying. Although, I would very much like your phone number because t̶h̶e̶n̶ ̶I̶ ̶c̶a̶n̶ ̶h̶e̶a̶r̶ ̶y̶o̶u̶r̶ ̶v̶o̶i̶c̶e̶!̶ Nevermind, again, I don't know what I'm saying. You are visiting some of the most exotic places though, I̶ ̶r̶e̶a̶l̶l̶y̶ ̶d̶o̶ ̶w̶i̶s̶h̶ ̶I̶ ̶w̶a̶s̶ ̶t̶h̶e̶r̶e̶ ̶w̶i̶t̶h̶ ̶y̶o̶u̶! Ah! No, I don't! Forget anything I've said in this letter! I've been drinking, I swear! Please don't judge me... I really don't know what to say to you because I've never been in a situation where I̶'̶v̶e̶ ̶l̶i̶k̶e̶d̶ ̶s̶o̶m̶e̶o̶n̶e̶ ̶t̶h̶a̶t̶ ̶I̶'̶v̶e̶ ̶n̶e̶v̶e̶r̶ ̶m̶e̶t̶ ̶b̶e̶f̶o̶r̶e̶ ̶s̶o̶ ̶m̶u̶c̶h̶... I mean, I really, really like you... I'm just going to end the letter here because my face can't take much more of this!

~ Jungkook-ah~

Taehyung burst out laughing at the way Jungkook had written the letter because even though he crossed those certain sentences out and asked him to ignore them, Taehyung still read those words. He cherished every pen stroke against the paper that Jungkook created as he hugged the letter to his chest, butterflies set aflutter within his tummy. Jungkook could definitely have his phone number because Taehyung has been wondering what Jungkook sounded like as well.

Taehyung set the letter aside and picked up the postcard that Jungkook had sent him. He knew where this picture had been taken because he'd lived there before he started to travel. He smiled as he flipped it over to see if Jungkook had written anything on the back. To his surprise, there was something written there, but in very tiny, minuscule handwriting that Taehyung could barely read.

He pulled the postcard closer to his face and when he still couldn't read it, stood to retrieve his glasses. He pushed his reading glasses up the bridge of his nose and pulled the postcard close again as a smile spread across his face while he read the words Jungkook had tried to hide: Please come take me far away from here with you~ I want to be with you and get to know you more~ I honestly don't want to be without you any longer~

Taehyung felt his heart flutter as he hugged the postcard to his chest and nodded. He was coming for Jungkook whether Jungkook had thought that was the case beforehand or not. He picked up the letter he'd placed aside, folding the letter over the postcard for safekeeping. He then unzipped a small pocket on his backpack and pulled out a small ziplock bag that was full of the letters Jungkook had previously sent him. He added this letter and postcard inside the bag and sealed it once again to keep them all safe.

He had to admit that he was falling for Jungkook's charm and he wondered if the same was happening to Jungkook. Mostly because he didn't want to end up being burned if Jungkook didn't feel the same way he did when they finally met. He stepped over towards his bed once more, examining the picture that Jungkook had sent him. He couldn't help but feel attracted to Jungkook for his personality, but his appearance was a definite bonus.

He plopped down on the bed once more, stretching out as he propped the photo up against the lamp on his nightstand. He smiled as he laid his head down on his arm and stared at the photo Jungkook had provided, sighing softly with content. His eyes started to feel heavy as he stared at the photo of Jungkook, his mind wandering over how things would go when they met. He could feel his eyes slowly sliding closed as he drifted off into a deep slumber.

Jungkook woke up to the sunlight filtering in through the gap in his curtains and the muffled buzz of his cell phone under his pillow. He groggily lifted his head off of his pillow and glanced around the room with bleary eyes, his gaze landing on the pictures of Tae he had put up on his wall. He stretched and grabbed his phone out from under his pillow, noticing Jimin's name flash across the screen. With a soft groan of annoyance, he answered the phone, his voice gravelly and heavy with sleep.

"Good morning, Jimin," Jungkook greeted groggily, rubbing his eyes as his gaze remained on the pictures of Tae. "To what do I owe this call?" Jungkook asked, rolling over onto his side. The chipper voice that greeted him on the other end of the line was far too intense for this early in the morning. "You didn't hear before leaving work yesterday?" Jimin asked excitedly, his voice rising in octave with his excitement. The only response Jimin received was dead silence. Not even a breath of air as Jungkook waited for Jimin to continue. "Geez, Jungkook! You think you lived under a rock with how uninformed you are," Jimin teased, earning a slight frown from Jungkook as he slowly sat up.

"Yeah, yeah, what is it?" Jungkook asked, his patience slowly wearing thin from being woken up too early and being teased. When Jungkook heard Hoseok's boisterous and excitable voice in the background, he flinched and held the phone away from his ear. "Seriously? What's going on? Why is Hoseok so excited?" Jungkook asked once again, wondering if something had happened.

Jimin sighed audibly before answering Jungkook's constant questions. "I guess you really didn't hear. Hoseok got promoted to regional manager of our firm. We're heading out to celebrate and you should definitely join us," Jimin urged, waiting for a response. Jungkook rubbed the palm of his hand down his face. He really didn't like going out, especially if there would be large crowds involved. All Jungkook wanted to do was wait for another one of Taehyung's letters and be left alone.

Jungkook groaned softly as he slowly climbed out of bed and stood to his feet. "Let me get ready first and I'll meet you wherever you guys are. Text me where you'll be," Jungkook stated in a rush, hanging up his phone to get ready.
