Chapter Ten: Back To Work

You hide but only appear when you smile

Where did you come from?

Don't lie, I know you're an angel

What are you?

That smile is so cruel

I shouldn't have seen that cheek

What's really dangerous

Is only in your possession

Taehyung Pov

I woke up at the continuous ringing of my phone. I sluggishly went for my phone resting on the side table to see the caller ID with my half opened eyes.

'Why aren't you both replying to my texts and calls?' Jimin grumpy voice echoed in my ear as soon as I picked up the call and placed my cellphone near my ear lazily.

"I was sleeping dumbass." I muttered hoarsely still half asleep.

'Do you know what time is it? It's 7 am already and we need to be at company at 8 am. Have you forgotten that we have an award show to attend tonight? So  with all due respect, get your asses up right now!' He nearly yelled causing me to flinch.

"Don't worry we'll be there at time." I replied slothfully, yawning in the process.

'Get here before I freak out.' He murmured cutting off the line.

I took a deep sigh as I saw the time on my phone.

7:05 am

It was when I realised Jungkook wiggling in my arms. He groaned, agitated by the little disturbance I made during the call. I knew his peaceful sleep was interrupted but what could I do? We had to leave. It was already late.

I moved my fingers through his hair, kissing his forehead sweetly causing his frown to disappear that appeared due to hindrance in his sleep.

"Kookie? We need to leave. We're late already." I whispered cautiously tracing his cheeks with my thumb.

"Just 5 more minutes." he groaned snuggling deeper into my arms.

I hugged him tightly, kissing his head as I played with his hair idlely.

"Get up my little bunny. You can have your remaining sleep in the car." I continued now getting bit worried about getting late.

As we were the world stars now, there was no room for even a tiny mistake or unprofessionalism. We had have to be careful and professional with our job.

'I have to wake him up before we both get in trouble.'

I instantly flipped him over, pinning him down in the bed.

"If you don't wake up now, I'm gonna tickle you." I warned him but in vain. He didn't even bother by it. I knew he was acting now cause I could feel his breath becoming heavier as he gulped.

"You sure you're not getting up?" I moved my hand teasingly over his stomach just about to start tickling.

"Okay okay I'm up." he cried out, sitting up feriecely, yanking me away in the process.

I chuckled as he kept glaring at me with an adorable scowl. Getting out of bed, I picked up our clothes from the floor and threw Jungkook's to him.

"Stop sulking my angry bunny. And put these on. We need to leave." I stated sweetly while putting on my clothes.

"Why we have to leave this early? This is unfair hyung. I want more time alone with you." he whined now getting up and putting on his clothes.

"Don't worry we'll spend more time alone in future." I replied now getting closer and pecking his lips.

He sighed contently, finally understanding the situation, giving me a sad pout.

"Get your things and come out. I'll be waiting in the car. And don't forget your mask and cap." I notified him before leaving the room.

______________

"What do you want for breakfast? Pan cakes? Egg rolls?" I asked while parking the car alongside a restraunt to buy us a quick breakfast.

"Pancakes and hot chocolate.." he replied excitedly as his eyes sparkled at the name of food. You couldn't even imagine how much food lover my Kookie was.

"Okay. I'll be right back." I said pecking his cheek and jumped out of the car.

"Here you go.." I exclaimed handing him breakfast, returning after 10 minutes.

"Thanks hyung." He smiled cheerfully before stuffing the pancake in his mouth happily.

"Hyung you should eat too." He demanded feeding me the pancake as I was driving.

I smiled warmly at his little gestures and little things he did for me. He didn't even know, how he was fluttering my heart with just feeding me a pancake right now.

"Hyung?" His voice was a whisper but I heard it clearly.

"What is it Kookie?"

I peaked at him while driving.

"When we're gonna tell Hyungs about our relationship?" he asked in the utter seriousness, causing my nerves to suddenly nimble.

'Sure hard things are coming our way. We're yet to start the real battle of our love.'

I thought to myself, taking a deep sigh before opening my mouth.

"Uhh.. Since this week is packed up with schedules. We have award shows, end of year performances and new year shows, so we can't reveal it yet. Let's tell them on our new year holidays." I disclosed the plan I had in my mind since we started our relationship.

It was best to reveal it when we get some free time.

He nodded like he agreed to what I said.

"Do you have thoughts about how Hyungs gonna react? Will they be supporting us like Jimin Hyung?" He asked exactly the same thing that just ran through my mind, like he was reading my thoughts.

"To be honest, I don't know what is going to happen, Kookie. Our relationship is not an ordinary one. We both are men. And you know, other than being a gay couple, there are much more complications to it since we're big celebraties and known to almost the whole world..."

"Aren't you afraid?" I was cut off by Jungkook's sudden question. It felt like he blurted it out unknowingly.

I chuckled turning my gaze to him to see his curious yet worried face.

"I'm not afraid. If I had any fear, I wouldn't have started it in first place. I'm just worried for you. I don't want you to get hurt by any means." I told him the truth, the only thing I was afraid of was, Jungkook being hurt but as long as I was with him, no one had chance to hurt a single hair on him.

He nodded, holding my free hand and clasping our fingers together. I turned to see him staring out of the window, sunk in his thoughts.

"Are you afraid?" I asked politely getting back his attention, cause I could feel him being uneasy.

"Uhh.. A.. A little bit. I want to love you recklessly hyung but what if, our Hyungs and parents never approve for it?" He stuttered anxiously. I could feel his expressions changing from worry to fear then back to worry.

"I told you before that leave all your worries to me. I'll fight for our love. All you have to do is stay beside me no matter what. That's all I need." I assured him taking our clutched hands to my lips and kissing his hand gently.

"From where you got this confidence?" Jungkook asked now switching to his curiosity mode.

"From you." I announced chuckling in the process.

"Me? How?" he blurted out in surprise.

"Our first kiss.. I think our first kiss gave me this confidence." I disclosed with a smirk. The way his cheeks turned red at my words got me amused.

"Uhh..yeah. in my room, in my bed, you kissed me." he stuttered with a nervous smile, scratching the back of his head.

"No, that wasn't our first Kiss. Our first kiss was indeed in your room, but it wasn't me who kissed you first, it was you who kissed me first." I revealed proudly as I pulled off the car to the parking of our company.

"Whattt?" he nearly screamed in my ear causing me to flinch.

"You're kidding me right?" he uttered totally stunned. And all I could do was chuckle at his cute expressions.

"Do I look like I'm kidding?" I asked going face to face to him, as I unfastened my seat belt.

"Yes you're kidding. I don't believe you." he declared rolling his eyes and folding his arms around his chest causing me to burst into laughter.

"Look you're laughing. I'm sure now that you're making it up to tease me." He whined making a sad pout.

"Then believe what you want to." I declared with a shrug, getting out of the car.

"No, hyung please I want to know the truth." He demanded like a kid following me behind as I entered the elevator to the 5th floor where meeting was being held.

"I told you the truth already Kookie. It's you who don't even believe me." I stated faking a hurt face.

And to my surprise Kookie fell for it.

"Sorry hyung, I believe you more than myself. It's just that I don't remember that kiss." he said regretfully causing me to giggle to myself.

'My innocent bunny. It's not even his fault if he don't remember. Still he's apologising.'

"When did it happen?" he asked going back to curiousness.

"We're here.." I announced as we reached the 5th floor and I stepped out of the elevator, walking towards our destination with Jungkook following behind.

"You must tell me about it later." He whispered as he reached beside me.

"Cool." I exclaimed as we both entered the conference room, seeing Hyungs and Jimin sitting randomly, using their phones.

I went for my wrist watch to see the time.

8:45 am

'Damn!!'

We were 45 minutes late.

As we made into the conference room, all eyes moved towards us, questioningly, before Namjoon hyung spoke up.

"Where were you both? Have you seen the time?" It wasn't Namjoon hyung, it was the leader of BTS, who was speaking right now. And we were bound to answer him.

My eyes went to Jimin, who indicated me to apologise right way because Namjoon Hyung was pissed off right now.

"Uhh.. Hyung.." Jungkook stuttered anxiously. I could feel him fidgeting beside me.

"Hyung you already know we were out of the city at my friend's house. We left a bit late. That's why we're late. It won't happen again. We're sorry." I continued where Jungkook left and said everything in one breath.

"It's okay. Now take your seats. We're already late." Namjoon hyung softened now gesturing us to sit.

________________

The meeting went well, with the briefing of tonight's award show and our performances and other stuff about our gestures and behaviours.

It was noon already and I could feel my back hurting from sitting constantly for hours. My eyes instantly went to Jungkook who was sitting across me, yawning and stretching his arms.

"TIRED?" I mouthed as our eyes met, trying not to get attention of other members. We already had offended them in the morning.

He nodded lazily.

"WANT TO REST?" I mouthed again, getting an excited nod this time.

I nodded back before opening my mouth again this time getting attention of other members.

"Jungkookie you should go get some rest. You weren't feeling well before. We'll wake you up when you need to get ready." I spoke up louder enough so everyone could hear it.

Jungkook eyes widened, but I quickly nodded him to just go with the flow.

"What happened Jungkook?" Jin hyung blurted out in worry followed by everyone.

"N.. Nothing hyung I'm just tired." he replied nervously.

"You should go and rest then." Hoseok hyung said gesturing him to go.

"GO." I mouthed and he hesitantly stood up and left.

I sighed in a relief and leaned back in my chair, closing my eyes for a while.

"How was your date?" I nearly jumped in my seat as Jimin whispered in my ear out of no where.

I didn't even realise when he got up from his seat and sat beside me.

"Superb." I replied in a whisper excitedly.

Only Jimin was the person, I could tell everything and express my happiness and sadness to.

"Did you two...?" He asked with a mischievous grin, vigorously hitting my arm with his elbow.

"Are you crazy? NO..we did nothing." I whispered yelled with wide eyes.

"Liar. Then why Jungkook wasn't feeling well." He chuckled playfully causing me to blush like a tomato even though we did nothing more than kissing.

'Why the hell I'm blushing? Damn Taehyung..'

"I'm not lying you moron. We really did nothing. He was just tired." I muttered under my breath, grinding my teeth together.

And he burst into laughter getting glares from other hyungs who were busy practicing their verses in the songs we were going to perform at night.

I hit his arm causing his laughter to stop as I gestured toward hyungs.

"But to be honest, you really did nothing?" He whispered in my ear, continuing his never ending teasing.

"Do you have a death wish?" I groaned giving him a deadly glare.

"Okay okay. I was kidding." he surrendered instantly, cuddling with me.

I pushed him away causing him to giggle. He sure was enjoying teasing me.

"Oh yes, I forgot to tell you. I think Yoongi hyung knows something. When you and Jungkook left yesterday, he came into my room asking me to tell you and Jungkook to be careful." All of sudden Jimin whispered will all seriousness in my ear.

I turned to him in confusion, raising an eyebrow trying to process what he just said.

"Dumb.. I mean you had went like million times on dinner with Jungkook even stayed at your friend's place but he never ever said such thing. I think he has doubt on you and Jungkook. So you both, be careful." he explained poking my head with a jerk.

"But how's that possible we have been too careful until now?" I mumbled in anxiousness.

"I don't know but you need to be careful and when are you going to tell Hyungs about your relationship?" he asked in a utter worry.

"On new year holiday." I replied now peaking at Yoongi hyung who was sitting in the corner, so far away from us, taking a nap.

"Good. You have to tell them sooner bro before they get to know from other means." He said being concerned.

"Yeah we will." I blurted out now zoning out of the scene, landing into my deep thoughts.

'Will they support our love?'

'What if they oppose us?'

'Will Jungkook be okay?'

'I don't need to worry as long Jungkook is beside me.'
