Taehyung had just landed and he was already feeling the exhaustion of his long night. All he wanted to do was get to his hotel so he could at least relax. Although, he wouldn't be able to sleep for the next 24 hours and that already had Taehyung feeling miserable. He enjoyed his sleep whenever he wasn't doing anything of importance but today, he was just going to have to suffer without it. Taehyung grabbed his luggage from the carousel before heading towards the doors of the airport, where a shuttle would be waiting for him. Once he boarded the shuttle, it didn't take the bus long to haul everyone to their designated hotels. Taehyung stepped off the shuttle to glance up at the grand hotel he'd be staying at for the next week.

Taehyung trudged forward towards the front door to check-in, his luggage in hand as he proceeded towards the concierge's desk. Once he was checked in and had the key to his room, Taehyung slowly made his way towards the elevators to put his stuff away. Since he hadn't had dinner before his flight, he was going to have to find someplace that was open late. With it being a Friday, he figured any place that had a bar inside the restaurant would be open later than normal hours. Taehyung hastily placed his suitcase inside his room, deliberately walking back towards the lobby to talk to the concierge about nearby restaurants. Once again, Taehyung was given a slew of options to choose from as he pondered on what he was actually craving at the moment.

The moment he had his decision, Taehyung headed for the lobby doors once again. He was going to eat a burger at the local bar and grill that wasn't too far of a walk. Taehyung definitely wanted to try a Jimmy Buffet's Margaritaville but that would have to wait for another day. Right now, he wanted something close to him that would be quick as well. Taehyung stepped outside and glanced around to gain his sense of direction when a timid voice called out to him. "T- Taehyung?"

Taehyung froze once again, thinking that what was occurring now was the same thing that had ensued at the Windsor Ruins. Taehyung almost moved to cover his ears until another timid question accompanied his name. "I- Is that really you?" This time Taehyung was certain he'd heard that voice somewhere before as he glanced around once again. He turned his head when the innocent doe eyes of a timid male caught his attention, halting Taehyung's thought process in its tracks as well. Taehyung stared silently at the familiar male for several moments before he opened his mouth to speak. "J- Jungkook?" Taehyung finally asked as the other male's timid expression melted into a warm smile. Forgetting his exhaustion, Taehyung bolted for Jungkook as Jungkook rushed towards Taehyung, their bodies colliding in a passionate and loving hug. Jungkook buried his head in Taehyung's shoulder as happy tears dripped from his eyes, both sniffling softly.

Taehyung finally pulled back from the hug to hold Jungkook's head steady between his hands. "What are you doing here? I- I thought you were going to be sending me a letter, not yourself," Taehyung claimed excitedly, smiling his boxy smile that he just couldn't help. He never thought he'd be seeing Jungkook this soon and it made him feel so much better about feeling lonely. "I know and I'm sorry to drop in on you like this so unexpectedly, but I wanted to be with you," Jungkook answered softly, his voice almost becoming inaudible out of embarrassment. Taehyung's boxy smile persisted as he shook his head excitedly. "No! Don't apologize! I love that you're here! Come, let's put your things in my room and we'll get dinner," Taehyung announced happily, grasping Jungkook's hand. Jungkook flushed brightly at how naturally Taehyung acted around him as he grabbed the handle to his suitcase and dragged it along behind him while Taehyung dragged Jungkook to his hotel room.

When they arrived back at Taehyung's room, Jungkook was well aware that there was only one bed in the room. "Sh- Shouldn't I- I get my own room?" Jungkook asked softly, not wanting to assume anything about their sleeping arrangements. "S- Since there's only one bed and all..." Jungkook continued before trailing off out of embarrassment. Taehyung glanced at the bed before turning his attention back towards Jungkook with a soft smile. "No, don't worry about it. You can have the bed. I'll sleep in the chair," Taehyung announced softly, addressing Jungkook's concern before Jungkook's head shot up from the gaze he was casting towards the ground. "N- No! Y- You have the bed! I can sleep on the chair then," Jungkook affirmed hastily, throwing his eye mask onto the ottoman across from the chair.

Taehyung chuckled softly before he grabbed Jungkook's eye mask with a soft smile. "Or you know, if you don't mind, we could share the bed?" Taehyung asked softly, shrugging nonchalantly as if he were offering Jungkook the choice. Although, the way Taehyung said it made Jungkook feel like those were going to be his only options. He could share the bed with Taehyung or Taehyung was going to give him the bed and he certainly couldn't allow the person paying for the room to sleep in the chair. Jungkook's face flushed once again as he nodded hesitantly at Taehyung's words. "W- We can share the bed then," Jungkook finally answered as Taehyung chuckled softly. "I'm not forcing you to share the bed with me. You don't have to worry about that. If it really makes you uncomfortable, I'll talk to the concierge about obtaining another room for you," Taehyung stated softly as Jungkook hastily shook his head. "N- No! This is fine! If you're willing to share your bed with me then that's what we'll do," Jungkook hastily corrected Taehyung as the elder stared wide-eyed for a moment before giggling cutely.

Jungkook felt like he'd had his heart snatched right out of his chest at that moment as he watched Taehyung giggle. It had to have been the most adorable sight he'd ever seen before Taehyung composed himself once again and grabbed Jungkook's hand. "Let's get some dinner and then we'll come back here," Taehyung announced playfully, tugging Jungkook along beside him. Jungkook couldn't help but stare up at Taehyung as they walked, his attention focused on how one man could be so handsome and cute at the same time. Jungkook just didn't know how that was possible as he remained staring up at Taehyung, admiring the elder male's features before he chuckled once again. "Are you entranced by my face?" Taehyung asked playfully as Jungkook blushed brightly and hid his face behind the menu he didn't even realize he was holding. He'd been so focused on starting at Taehyung that he hadn't realized they'd already arrived at the restaurant and sat down with their menus before Taehyung said anything to him. Jungkook felt utterly embarrassed as Taehyung offered a sweet smile and placed his hand on top of Jungkook's own. "It's okay. I've most certainly been entranced by your face because I honestly can't believe that you're here. I keep telling myself this is all a dream my exhausted brain has conceived but then I touch you like this... A- and you're real," Taehyung confessed softly, tears welling up in his eyes again. "I- I just can't believe it," Taehyung reiterated firmly, wiping his eyes with the back of his hand. "It's like a dream come true," Taehyung added softly, sniffling as Jungkook smiled lovingly towards him. He couldn't believe he'd worked up the courage to do this either but seeing how much Taehyung loved the idea of him being around, Jungkook was glad that he'd pulled this off.

It was well worth it to see the surprise on Taehyung's face when they'd first met. "I'm glad that I could be here with you. I've wanted to be beside you since you started sending me letters," Jungkook admitted honestly, halting Taehyung in his tracks midthought once again. Without any thought behind it or hesitation, Taehyung leaned forward and pressed his lips against Jungkook's own. Jungkook stared in wide-eyed shock for several moments, even after Taehyung pulled away from him and Taehyung suddenly started to feel like he may have overstepped his boundaries. "I- I'm so sorry," Taehyung apologized profusely, stumbling over his words because he didn't think about Jungkook's feelings before he acted. "I- I should have waited... Even if we are already technically dating, we just met a few minutes ago and I just kissed you an-" Before Taehyung could continue, Jungkook cut him off with another kiss- a slow, sensual kiss that had Taehyung reeling slightly.

"Don't ever apologize for kissing me. I liked it," Jungkook whispered timidly, moving into the booth next to Taehyung rather than across from him. "I was just shocked by the bold action since we had just met," Jungkook admitted softly, kissing Taehyung's cheek this time as he grabbed his hand under the table. Taehyung glanced at Jungkook with wide eyes, shocked by the younger male's boldness before smiling in his usual boxy fashion. Jungkook rested his head on Taehyung's shoulder and they proceeded to eat their food blissfully, even in that position.

Once dinner was over, Taehyung and Jungkook walked back to the hotel hand in hand as they'd left. This time, Jungkook wasn't so awkward with Taehyung anymore, his shoulder pressed up against Taehyung's shoulder now rather than walking behind him. Taehyung saw it as a huge improvement in a short amount of time until they arrived at his room once again. Jungkook didn't know whether he really should share the bed with Taehyung or sleep in the chair as he'd suggested earlier. Although, Taehyung wasn't going to allow the younger to keep mulling it over in his mind because Taehyung knew this trick all too well: continue to think it over until you convince yourself and the other person you'd be fine with the second option. Once again, without hesitation, Taehyung lifted Jungkook's feet off the ground before carrying him over to the bed and plopping him down on it. "Don't keep fighting with yourself. Just sleep in the bed," Taehyung insisted firmly as Jungkook stared up at Taehyung from the edge of the bed and nodded silently.

Jungkook continued to sit on the edge of the bed, wondering if he should go to the bathroom to change his clothes or if Taehyung wouldn't mind him changing where they were. When he glanced over his shoulder towards Taehyung, he realized the elder had already stripped out of his shirt and was digging around his suitcase for a clean one. Jungkook couldn't help but follow the contours of Taehyung's chiseled chest and shoulders with his eyes, licking his lips without realizing it. Jungkook pursed his lips when Taehyung found the shirt he was looking for and slid it on over his head but the next thing Jungkook saw was Taehyung stripping out of his pants as well. Jungkook immediately turned his head away, realizing Taehyung must have changed clothes behind his back so he wouldn't have looked, and instead, he was gawking. Jungkook felt mortified as heat crept into his face, Jungkook cupping his heated cheeks between his hands as a sultry voice beckoned to him. "You can watch if you want. I don't mind," Taehyung affirmed softly, earning a quiet whimper from Jungkook as his gaze shifted back over towards Taehyung.

Taehyung stood before him with a shirt and his boxers as sleepwear and Jungkook felt his heart leap into his throat. "I- Is th- that all y- you're going to wear?" Jungkook asked hesitantly, eyeing Taehyung before biting his lip. Taehyung chuckled softly, the bite to Jungkook's lower lip not being disregarded as Taehyung shook his head. "Oh, this is what I wear around the hotel when I'm ready for bed. When I sleep, I don't wear anything," Taehyung teased sultrily, Jungkook's doe eyes widening even more as he stared at Taehyung's hooded eyes. Jungkook's eyes shifted to his chest once again as Taehyung crawled onto the bed, closer towards Jungkook. "You can touch me if you want as well," Taehyung offered softly, planting his hands between his legs to inform Jungkook that was off-limits for now.

Jungkook turned fully toward Taehyung, hesitantly reaching over and rubbing his hands along Taehyung's shoulders and down his arms. Taehyung continued to sit there and allow Jungkook's hands to trace any part of his body he wanted as long as it was above his waist. The one time Jungkook tried, Taehyung laughed softly and pulled Jungkook's hands back up, telling him to wait for that at another time. Jungkook wasn't impatient about it either as he nodded at Taehyung's words, obeying them as he caressed Taehyung's chest and stomach instead now. Before long, Jungkook leaned forward to kiss Taehyung and the other was already far more receptive to things progressing further if they did but Jungkook held true to his acknowledgment. He never touched further than Taehyung's waist as the elder withdrew from the kiss now, clearing his throat in embarrassment. He excused himself with the explanation he needed to use the bathroom and hastily retreated to the bathroom to allow Jungkook to change as well before they both called it a night.
