"We're here!" Jungkook said as he stopped in front of a chic black house with hints of wood on the facade.
Taehyung looked through the windshield and was amazed at the house.
"Wow. Your house is so beautiful, Kook." Taehyung said.
"It's OUR house now, bear." Jungkook said as he stepped out of the car, went to the passenger side and opened the door for Taehyung.
"My boyfriend's such a gentleman. Thank you." Taehyung said as he gave Jungkook a peck on the cheek.
Jungkook touched his chest and scrunched his nose, feeling giddy hearing Taehyung refer to him as his boyfriend.
"Hey, Kookie come on!! Tour me around!!" Taehyung excitedly said as he stood at the base of the stairs.
Jungkook just shook his head and approached Taehyung grabbing the latter's hand as he passed by him.
When they reached the front door, Jungkook keyed in the security code to the house and opened the door.
Taehyung was about to step in, but Jungkook scooped him up and carried him bridal style.
"Kookie! Put me down!" Taehyung said.
"Nope. I have to carry my bride before entering our home for the very first time." Jungkook said, making Taehyung blush.
"You're such an idiot." Taehyung said as he playfully hit Jungkook's chest.
As they entered, Jungkook kicked the door close behind him and carried Taehyung to the living room. He placed him down and the younger looked around.
"I can see that you love black huh?" Taehyung said.
Jungkook chuckled. "I dunno. I find it calming."
"It does exude a calming feeling." Taehyung said.
"You can change it up if you want." Jungkook said.
"Are you kidding me? I love it as it is." Taehyung said.
"Come, I'll show you the back as I don't think you'd be excited about the kitchen anyway." Jungkook said as he led Taehyung to the back of the house.
Taehyung's breath hitched as he saw the beautiful pool and view in front of him.
"This is so beautiful, Jungkook. I can stay here forever." Taehyung said.
"That's the plan." Jungkook backhugged Taehyung.
"Is this where you spend most of your time when you're home?" Taehyung asked.
"Not really. That's our next stop. I didn't follow the black and white theme for the next room though as most of the pieces I do are black and white already." Jungkook laughed as he took Taehyung's hand once again and dragged him to a staircase going up the attic.
They reached a big wooden door.
"This is where I hang out most of the time." Jungkook said before opening the door.
"This is my art studio. I wanted to keep it raw and bright. If black calms me, white perks me up and the creative juices just flow." Jungkook said.
"Ok, you can leave me here now. Just add a bed please and I'm good." Taehyung jokingly said.
"Uh uh. I think you'd like the next room that I'll show you, better." Jungkook said.
"There's more?" Taehyung asked and Jungkook just nodded.
Jungkook led Taehyung back inside the house and went straight to one of the rooms at the ground floor.
"Ready?" Jungkook asked and Taehyung nodded like a curious, excited child.
Jungkook pushed the door open and revealed his home library.
"This place is so conducive for writing. Oh my god, Kook. I wanna marry your house." Taehyung said.
Jungkook laughed and watched as Taehyung walked around looking at the book titles. The latter suddenly stopped at one area of the shelf.
"You have all my books." Taehyung said.
"Told you I read all of them. You thought it was just a pick-up line?" Jungkook said.
"No. But, I did doubt you at first as you don't look like the type who would read romantic novels." Taehyung said honestly.
"So, has that impression changed so far?" Jungkook said.
"Definitely. You're so romantic after all." Taehyung said as he wrapped his arms around Jungkook's neck and kissed him. They stood there kissing for a good two-minutes before Taehyung pulled away.
"The house is so beautiful, Kook. Thank you for inviting me here. I feel so comfortable here already. It matches my introverted side. I love staying at home so I'd definitely love it here." Taehyung said.
"I'm glad you feel that way, love. You're the only person I've brought here. None of my family members nor any of my friends know about this house. I just like to keep it to myself, but now, I found the perfect person to share it with." Jungkook said as he pecked on Taehyung's lips.
"I feel ao honored and lucky to be that person then." Taehyung said, pecking Jungkook's lips back.
"Let's go grab the suitcases before I show you our room." Jungkook said.
"Oh, are we staying in one room?" Taehyung asked.
Jungkook furrowed his brows and examined Taehyung's face. The latter suddenly burst out laughing.
"It's so fun teasing you." Taehyung said as he ran out of the room.
"Kim Taehyung, come back here." Jungkook said as he heard Taehyung's laughter echoing throughout the house.

The next day, Taehyung was left alone in the house as Jungkook went to buy groceries. He was done fixing his clothes in the walk in closet of the master's bedroom and was about to go out of the house to throw some empty cardboard boxes when the doorbell rang.
Taehyung wondered who it could be as Jungkook told him that no ine knew about his house. So, Taehyung checked the peephole first before opening the door. He was surprised to see a beautiful woman outside the door.
He opened the door and the girl looked surprised to see him.
"Hi, I'm sorry, you're not Jungkook-ssi." The woman said.
"Yes, obviously not." Taehyung said with a blank expression on his face.
"Is he home? I saw his car parked outside so I thought he'd be here." The woman said.
"Oh, he's not. He brought my car to the grocery. I'm sorry, you are?" Taehyung asked.
"I'm Bae Joo-hyun, Jungkook-ssi's neighbor. I just came to give him some cookies I baked." Joo-Hyun said.
"I see, I can receive that for him." Taehyung said.
"And, you are?" Joo-Hyun asked.
"Kim Taehyung, Jungkook's boyfriend." Taehyung proudly said.
"Oh. B-boyfriend? I didn't know he's...with someone." Joo-Hyun said.
Ibetyouweresupposedtosayyoudidn'tknowhe'sgay. Hah! Taehyung mentally said.
"Well, I guess now you know?" Taehyung flashed her a fake smile.
Just then, the two heard a car pull-up in front of the house. The two watched Jungkook step out of it and took out the groceries from the trunk.
As Jungkook was going up the stairs, he saw Taehyung and Joo-hyun. He looked at Tae and mouthed, "who is that?" Taehyung just shrugged his shoulders.
"Hey, love!" Taehyung said with his wide boxy smile.
Jungkook was briefly shocked as it was the first time Taehyung called him love so he felt butterflies in his stomach.
"Hi, love. You have a visitor?" Jungkook asked as he looked at Joo-hyun.
"Oh, no, she's not here for me." Taehyung said.
"Hi, Jungkook-ssi. I'm your neighbor, remember we met a month ago while you were jogging out front?" Joo-Hyun said in a sweet tone.
Taehyung rolled his eyes and Jungkook saw it, almost cooing in the process at how adorable his boyfriend was.
Joo-hyun noticed that Jungkook wasn't even looking at her, so she cleared her throat to get his attention.
"Oh, yeah. I remember now. Ji-Eun, right?" Jungkook said.
"It's Joo-Hyun. Bae Joo-Hyun." Joo-Hyun said but her tone was more annoyed than sweet at that point.
Taehyung decided to irk her more.
"She came here to give you cookies she baked herself, love." Taehyung said.
"Really? Thanks for that. Taehyung would love it as he's more into sweets than I am." Jungkook said, catching on quickly to his evil boyfriend's plan.
"Here then, have a good day." Joo-Hyun said as she reluctantly handed the box of cookies to Taehyung and left.
Taehyung and Jungkook stepped inside the house and the moment the door closed, the two burst out laughing.
"Did you see her face?!" Taehyung said in between laughs.
"Love, you're a meanie." Jungkook said.
"Says the one who savagely rejected her cookies only to say that I'd love it more." Taehyung said. "Oh, and I love how you said her name wrong. That was epic."
"Taeh, I really thought her name was Ji-Eun." Jungkook said making Taehyung laugh out louder. He was laughing so hard that he was already on the floor clutching his tummy.
Jungkook placed the groceries down on the living room table as he picked up Taehyung from the floor.
"God why are you so adorable even when you're being mean. You broke her heart, love." Jungkook said laughing.
"You should've seen her face when I told her I was your boyfriend!" Taehyung couldn't stop laughing as tears were already streaming down his face.
Jungkook was laughing along with him until Taehyung wrapped his arms around his neck and started...sobbing???
"Hey, love? What's wrong? You were just laughing awhile ago. Why are you crying?" Jungkook asked as he sat down on the couch and placed Taehyung on his lap.
"She's so gorgeous, Kookie. What if I wasn't here and you were alone. You might have ended up liking her instead of me and you'd break up with me and choose her instead." Taehyung said in between sobs.
"Taeh, hey listen. First of all, which part of her was gorgeous, huh? Cos I didn't even notice. Apparently I met her before, but I couldn't even recall. And, second, I didn't even remember her name. My eyes are only set on you, Taehyung. So, please stop crying." Jungkook said as he hugged the younger tightly.
Taehyung was sobbing for almost ten minutes until he finally stopped. He wiped his eyes and smiled at Jungkook.
"I'm hungry now, love. Please cook now. I love you." Taehyung said and pecked Jungkook's lips before leaving the latter's lap. He went to grab the cardboard boxes that he was supposed to throw earlier as if nothing happened.
"What was that?" Jungkook mumbled to himself as he shook his head, grabbed the grocery bags and went to the kitchen to cook their lunch.
After thirty minutes, Jungkook was done cooking and has already set the table.
"Taehyung? Love! Lunch is ready." Jungkook yelled.
When he didn't get a reply, he went up to check in their bedroom, but Taehyung wasn't there.
"Taehyung?" He yelled again but still no reply.
He then decided to go to the library and that's where he found Taehyung, sleeping on the couch with a book on his chest and his glasses on. Jungkook smiled as he remembered the exact same scene from the plane.
He crouched down beside the sofa and touched Taehyung's nose.
"Hey, sleepy head. Lunch is ready." Jungkook said.
Taehyung fluttered his eyes open and looked at Jungkook.
"Hey, sorry I fell asleep." Taehyung said.
"It's okay, come, let's eat." Jungkook said.
"Carry?" Taehyung said.
"Aish, this big baby." Jungkook chuckled as he carried Taehyung like a koala bear with the latter's legs around his torso.
Jungkook was about to place Taehyung down the chair beside the dining table when he heard soft snores.
"My baby's tired fixing your clothes huh?" Jungkook said while rubbing Taehyung's back.
Taehyung woke up again and asked Jungkook to put him down.
"Gosh. I'm so sleepy." Taehyung said and Jungkook looked at him.
"You feeling okay, love? You look pale." Jungkook said.
"I'm okay. We woke up at 9, I'm just not used to waking up early, I guess." Taehyung said.
"Okay, let's sleep after we eat." Jungkook said as he placed some jajangmyeon on Taehyung's plate.
"Wow! Another favorite of mine! You cooked this?" Taehyung said perkily.
"I just followed the recipe I found on the internet." Jungkook said.
"This looks yummy!!!" Taehyung said putting a spoonful of noodles in his mouth.
"Oh my gosh, Kook. This is the best jajangmyeon ever. Thank you, love." Taehyung said as he kept on eating.
"Slow down, Taeh. It's all yours." Jungkook chuckled.
"You should be a chef. You cook very well, you kmow." Taehyung said as he happily ate. He also took some of the kimchi and potato pancakes on the center table and ate some too.
Jungkook was watching Taehyung eat closely as he was worried that the latter might choke on something anytime soon.
"Taehyung, love, don't forget to chew. You might get indigestion with the rate you're going." Jungkook said.
"I am chewing, Kookie. It's your fault. You make the best dishes." Taehyung said.
Jungkook just shook his head, amused at his boyfriend's appetite.
After eating, Taehyung offered to wash the dishes, but Jungkook insisted for him to go up and rest.
"But, I love washing dishes. It's therapeutic for me." Taehyung said, pouting.
"Okay okay, stop pouting. Here, you continue this as I take a shower. I'll wait for you upstairs." Jungkook said kissing Tarhyung on his firehead before heading up.
As Taehyung was washing the plates, the doorbell rang and he thought it was Joo-hyun again.
Whatnow?Don'ttellmeshe'sheretobringdessertsthistime.
Taehyung didn't bother looking at the peephole and just opened the door.
He was shocked to see one of the people he hated the most. He suddenly felt rage building up inside his chest.
"Taehyung-ah" The woman uttered.
"Yum Jung-ah. What the fuck are you doing here? How did you find me? If you came here still seeking for my forgiveness you are not going to get it." Taehyung said, gritting his teeth.
"Taehyung, please just listen to me. Let me explain everything first. You got it all wrong, Taebear." Jung-ah said.
"Stop calling me Taebear!!! Stay away from me!!!" Taehyung yelled as tears trickled down his face.
"Taehyung! What's wrong?! Who is — eomma?" Jungkook said.
Taehyung's heart skipped a beat.
"Sh-she's your eomma?" Taehyung's eyes widened.
"Yes, love, what's wrong." Jungkook worriedly asked as he was about to run to Taehyung but stopped when the latter raised his hand.
"Stop. I-I have to get out of here." Taehyung said and looked at the table where they put their car keys on. He grabbed Jungkook's car keys and stormed oit of the house, crying.
"Taehyung, wait!" Jungkook ran after him but Taehyung ran faster. He jumped in the car and sped off.
Jungkook was confused at what was happening so he ran back to his mother.
"What was that all about?!" Jungkook angrily asked.
"He…he thinks I caused his mother's death." A crying Jung-ah said.
"W-what d-did you j-just say? What the hell did you do this time?! Why do you keep on ruining my life?!" Jungkook yelled at his mother.
He fell down on his knees and screamed his heart out.
