December 30, 2020

 

Tonight. Jeongguk had decided to make a move tonight. He's been lurking in the shadows for far too long. Been stalking Kim Taehyung around for god knows how long. 

 

Is he obsessed? You could say that. 

 

Jeongguk’s unhealthy obsession began when he first saw Taehyung at their college campus. He was minding his own business when his peace got disturbed by the nosy students gossiping about the new transferee. Jeongguk kept on hearing the words pretty, handsome, beautiful, gorgeous, hot, coming out of their mouths like a mantra, striking his own curiosity. 

 

He doesn't have any plans on finding a way to meet the guy per se, he doesn't really care. But, fate had something in store for him, he supposed. Jeongguk was in the middle of gathering his books from his locker when someone tapped his shoulder. 

 

“Hey, uhmm, can you please tell me where the music room is? I'm lost and now I'm gonna be late for my next class. I'm kinda new here, sorry.” The stranger shyly asked him. 

 

You see, Jeongguk doesn't really like talking to people, much less a stranger. He was about to tell the man to piss off but the stranger's beautiful face left him speechless. Definitely the prettiest thing he's ever seen in his entire life. A face that could rival all the gods and goddesses combined, a face that deserves to be immortalized in an art museum. 

 

“Yeah, it's on that building's second floor, first room to the left.” Jeongguk took his sweet time admiring the other man while he gave directions. 

 

“Got it, thanks!” The new student thanked him and was about to leave but Jeongguk stopped him. 

 

“Wait!”

 

“Yes?” The stranger turned around to face Jeongguk once again. 

 

“What's your name?” Jeongguk asked. 

 

“Oh.” He let out a soft giggle at Jeongguk’s question. “Taehyung. Kim Taehyung.” Taehyung wanted to know the other man’s name as well but the loud ringing of the bell echoed through the hallway, signaling the start of classes. 

 

“Crap! I'm really gonna be late. Bye, see you around!” 

 

“Taehyung.” Jeongguk tested the name on his tongue, loving how it sweetly rolled from his lips. He wondered how his own name would sound like coming from the pretty boy’s mouth. Jeongguk was convinced it's love at first sight. And that's when he had made up his twisted mind. 

 

I gotta make him mine. 

 

📸

 

Jeongguk’s stalking started out by simply following Taehyung around without getting caught. He was satisfied with just watching Taehyung from afar. But Jeongguk got a little greedy as time went by. He then began bringing his camera with him wherever he goes, capturing Taehyung’s beauty, immortalizing Jeongguk’s favorite snippets of Taehyung’s life through thousands of pictures. 

 

At the end of the day, he would go back to his penthouse, plug his camera’s memory card in his laptop and admire the photos of his muse through the screen. The fact that Taehyung managed to look beautiful in every single picture baffles him. It's just so surreal. He could be doing the most mundane thing and still look like a model posing for a magazine. Especially the ones with his clothes off. Jeongguk loves the way Taehyung’s honey skin seems to glow every time he steps out of the shower, droplets of water cascading down his alluring body. These photos will definitely be added to his personal favorites. 

 

Soon, the photos became insufficient. They weren't enough to feed his needs anymore. He wants more. He's got this insatiable thirst to not just look but touch the subject of his obsession. The hunger to claim Taehyung as his and to keep him all to himself grew stronger and stronger each day. 

 

And then he snapped. 

 

Right on the said man’s birthday. 

 

📸

 

Jeongguk waited patiently for the perfect timing to initiate his plan. He watched as Taehyung and his friends exited the noraebang they rented to celebrate his birthday. They all took turns in giving Taehyung a hug as they bid their goodbyes one by one. Jeongguk huffed in annoyance when one particular man from their group hugged Taehyung a little too long for his liking. 

 

“Yeah, go ahead Minjae. Enjoy the last time you'll be able to touch what's mine.” Jeongguk said to no one but himself. 

 

Taehyung was the first one to break the hug. He waved one last time at Minjae and went their separate ways. 

 

“Fucking finally.” Oh, he's mad. Jeongguk doesn't like it when someone touches what's his. 

 

Jeongguk followed Taehyung all the way to the parking lot. He looked around the empty space to make sure no one will see them. When he was sure enough that no one's around, Jeongguk sneaked behind Taehyung while the male was busy fumbling with his keys. Jeongguk wrapped his arm tightly around his torso and covered the lower half of Taehyung’s face with a cloth imbued with a knock-out drug.

 

Taehyung tried to free himself from Jeongguk’s tight hold and attempted to fight back but to his dismay, Jeongguk was a whole lot stronger than he is. He tried calling for help but the cloth over his mouth just muffled his voice. It was suffocating. Soon enough, Taehyung started feeling light headed due to the lack of oxygen and the chemical he was forced to inhale. 

 

Taehyung’s thrashing gradually weakened and eventually stopped. Jeongguk held Taehyung tightly to support his weight. He stayed still for a moment once the reality dawned upon him. 

 

He really did it. 

 

There's no turning back now. 

 

Jeongguk reached down for the car key that was dropped on the ground and unlocked the doors. He carried Taehyung’s unconscious body and carefully laid him down on the backseat. Jeongguk caressed Taehyung’s cheek lovingly and let his hand linger for a few seconds before standing up and making his way to the driver's seat. Now’s not the time for that. 

 

Jeongguk took a quick glance at the rearview mirror before starting the car’s engine. It's done. His plan was a success. Taehyung is finally his. All he had to do now was drive all the way to his rest house in Busan. Jeongguk smiled to himself while driving. 

 

It's finally coming true. 

 

Jeongguk’s dream to live a solemn and peaceful life with the person he loves the most is now coming true. 

 

📸

 

Taehyung woke up with a throbbing headache. He opened his eyes and sat up on the bed. The sheets were unfamiliar to him. He looked around and realized he wasn't in his room. 

 

“Fuck. Where am I?” Taehyung cursed as he massaged his temples. 

 

Taehyung tried to remember what happened last night. Did he drink too much to get the most horrible hangover he's ever had? Then it hit him. The parking lot, the stranger that attacked him, the suffocating feeling, the fear. 

 

Remembering everything made him panic. The fear he initially felt intensified tenfold. Taehyung inspected himself and noticed that he's still wearing the same clothes. Nothing seemed out of the ordinary. Nothing hurts except for the excruciating headache. And the most important thing, he wasn't binded. No handcuffs, ropes, chains, or whatever he's always seeing in the movies. His kidnapper must be dumb to not tie his victim, Taehyung thought. But then again, everything inside the room looks expensive. Everything from the furniture to the decoratives screams luxury. What could be the reason why he was abducted then? Surely it wasn't about money since it was obvious the perpetrator was filthy rich. So what exactly was his motive? 

 

Taehyung chose not to dwell on it. What he needs to do right now is find an escape route before the kidnapper shows up. He got up and walked around the room to find an exit. Taehyung tried opening the main door first. Of course it's locked. He needs to find another way out. It's really overwhelming. This room was bigger than his entire apartment. There's even a walk-in closet and an en suite bathroom. He was too focused in his search he didn't even hear the sound of the door closing. 

 

And then came what he was fearing the most.

 

“Taehyung?” He heard someone say his name. 

 

Taehyung froze, he swore he had heard that voice before he just couldn't quite put his finger on it. He turned around but didn't see anyone. Taehyung ran as far away as he could get from where he heard the voice and reached a dead end.

 

He's now standing in front of a tall glass window. With shaky hands, Taehyung nervously grabbed the handles and peered down on the grassy ground. It seemed like it's a two-storey house. Taehyung contemplated if he could make the jump. 

 

“No, Taehyung don't!” The man shouted behind him. 

 

Taehyung trembled in fear when he heard the kidnapper’s voice and footsteps, making him lose his remaining rationality. He doesn't have much of a choice now does he? Taehyung quickly stepped on the window sill, closed his eyes, and took a deep breath. He mentally counted to three first before jumping but he lost his balance before he could do it, making him fall in a bad angle. 

 

“Taehyung!”

 

That was the last thing Taehyung heard before everything went black. 

 

📸

 

“No, Taehyung don't!”

 

Jeongguk ran towards the window and tried to pull Taehyung back inside but he didn't make it in time. All he could do was watch Taehyung’s body hit the ground with a loud thud. 

 

“No, no, no, fuck, Taehyung! What did you do?” Jeongguk frustatedly said. 

 

He hurriedly went downstairs to where Taehyung fell. Jeongguk nearly cried when he saw him lying on the cold ground. Jeongguk crouched down beside Taehyung’s unconscious body and inspected him for any signs of injury. 

 

Taehyung’s head was bleeding. 

 

“This can't be happening. No, please–please don't die.” He was scared. He can't lose Taehyung, not now that he's finally got him all to himself. 

 

Jeongguk checked Taehyung’s pulse. It's faint but it's still there. Jeongguk carefully carried the unconscious man to the garage where his cars were, quickly choosing one and putting Taehyung inside. Jeongguk ignited the engine when he had settled in the driver's seat. He silently prayed to whoever's up there to keep Taehyung safe. 

 

Jeongguk drove as fast as he could towards the nearest hospital. His father's hospital. When they had reached their destination, Jeongguk stopped the car in front of the emergency room. The staffs recognized the vehicle and immediately went to assist them, transferring Taehyung on a stretcher while Jeongguk followed. 

 

“Mr. Jeon, can you tell us what happened?” The doctor asked him while they were walking down the hall. 

 

“He–he slipped and fell down the stairs.” Lie.

 

“I see.” They had reached the area for emergency minor operations, “Let us take care of him, Mr. Jeon. Please go to the station and fill out the documents for the patient.” 

 

Jeongguk did as he was told and went to the front desk. The nurse started asking him questions for documentation. 

 

“Can you tell us the patient's name, Mr. Jeon?”

 

“Kim Taehyung.”

 

“How old is he?”

 

“Twenty five.”

 

“What's your relationship to the patient?”

 

“I'm his boyfriend.” Lie. 

 

Jeongguk tried to make his voice as steady as he could while he continued spewing lies until all the questions were done. 

 

“Alright. Thank you, Mr. Jeon. You can stay at the waiting area. The doctors will update you once they're done.”

 

“Thank you.” Jeongguk politely said. But before he left, he firmly instructed one important thing to the nurse. 

 

“If anyone asked, we were never here, got it?” Jeongguk said in a stern voice. 

 

The nurse gulped and nodded. He understood what Jeongguk meant. 

 

“Good...” Jeongguk looked at the nurse’s ID, “Mr. Park. You will be generously compensated.” 

 

Jeongguk turned his back and made his way to the waiting area. The nurse let out the breath he was holding when Jeongguk was finally out of sight. 

 

📸

 

After one or two hours, (Jeongguk wasn't really sure, he had completely lost track of time) the doctor who attended Taehyung approached him. 

 

“Mr. Jeon.” 

 

“Doctor Min, how is he?” Jeongguk stood up. 

 

“He’s stable now. We had to do some stitches on his head to close the wound. An MRI was also done. I'll be honest with you, Mr. Jeon. There's a mild traumatic brain injury.” Dr. Min said in a worried tone. 

 

“Is it that bad? Will he be okay?” Unlike his father, Jeongguk doesn’t have any background in the medical field. He didn't fully understand everything but he knows that a brain injury isn't something to be taken lightly. 

 

“As of now, I can't really say for sure. We'll have to wait for him to wake up to know the extent of the damage.” The doctor admitted. 

 

“Mr. Kim will be transferred to his room. You can come along with them.” Dr. Min added. 

 

“Thank you Dr. Min. I appreciate everything.” Jeongguk offered his hand to the doctor. 

 

“Just doing my job, Mr. Jeon.” The doctor returned the handshake. “I'll be visiting him everyday and as necessary to monitor his status. If ever something happens, inform me right away.” He handed Jeongguk a calling card with his personal number on it. 

 

The door of the operating room opened, as the staffs guided Taehyung’s stretcher out, catching the attention of the two. 

 

“I will, thank you.” Jeongguk bowed and walked towards Taehyung’s side. He took his hand and held it firmly. 

 

“I'll never leave your side, angel.” Jeongguk whispered while they walked down the maze-like halls.

 

📸

 

True to his words, Jeongguk never left Taehyung’s side. He stayed inside his room and watched over him. Two days had passed since the incident happened and Taehyung showed no signs of waking up anytime soon. 

 

“Angel, please wake up. I can't stand seeing you like this.” Jeongguk used both of his hands to hold Taehyung’s and gave his knuckles a soft kiss. Jeongguk swore he felt Taehyung’s fingers twitch. His heart skipped a bit. He hoped he wasn't just imagining things.

 

Jeongguk looked up when he heard Taehyung groan. He was surprised to see the other’s beautiful hazel eyes looking back at him. 

 

“Taehyung! Thank god you're finally awake.” Jeongguk stood up to pull him in for an embrace but he held himself back, worried about hurting Taehyung. 

 

“Taehyung?” The male asked, clearly in a confused state. 

 

“Yeah, that's–” What's happening? “That's your name. Can't you remember?” Jeongguk nervously asked. 

 

“I–” Taehyung closed his eyes as he clutched his head and winced in pain. “I can't. Where am I?” Taehyung asked as he looked around. 

 

“You're at the hospital.” Jeongguk finally gets it. He now knows what's happening. He needs Dr. Min to confirm it but if his theory was right, Taehyung is currently suffering from amnesia. Jeongguk wanted to test his theory. 

 

“Can you remember when your birthday was?” 

 

“I can't. I can't remember anything.” Taehyung almost shouted at him due to the frustration. He apologetically looked at Jeongguk, “I'm sorry. Uhmm, may I know who you are?” 

 

Jeongguk realized Taehyung doesn't really know him even without the memory loss. Jeongguk made sure to hide within the shadows and never had the guts to formally introduce himself to Taehyung back then.

 

An idea, as wrong as it was, struck his mind. 

 

Jeongguk sat on the edge of the bed. He smiled lovingly at him while he tucked Taehyung’s hair behind his ear. He's still so handsome even when he's lying on the hospital bed wearing a plain hospital gown. 

 

“It's okay, I understand. I'm not mad. I'm Jeon Jeongguk, your husband.”

 

The biggest lie. 

 

Taehyung’s heart ached for the man in front of him. He felt sick and awful for forgetting the man he vowed to spend the rest of his life with. A lone tear escaped his eye. 

 

Jeongguk’s eyes widened, concern overtaking his entire being. 

 

“Hey, please don't cry.” Jeongguk brushed the tear away with his thumb as he held Taehyung’s warm cheek tenderly. “It's alright, don't worry.” 

 

Taehyung looked down on his lap and fisted the sheets, “No it's not! How could I forget something as important as that? Someone as important as you?” He bit back a sob, trying his best not to have a breakdown in front of Jeongguk. 

 

“Taehyung, angel, look at me.” 

 

Taehyung looked up to meet Jeongguk’s caring doe eyes. 

 

“It's okay. It’s not your fault so please, don't blame yourself. No one wished for this to happen. Don't worry about me, okay?” Jeongguk reassured him. He actually felt bad, it wasn't his intention to make Taehyung feel guilty when he lied about them being married. Jeongguk just saw an opportunity and he took it. The Taehyung in front of him right now is like a blank slate. It was a one in a million chance to rewrite their lives. 

 

Taehyung’s headache worsened. He shut his eyes tight and winced in pain. 

 

Jeongguk noticed Taehyung’s distress. He immediately grabbed his phone when he remembered the doctor’s instructions. 

 

“Dr. Min, Taehyung’s awake now.” Jeongguk stood up and walked towards the door. He looked back at Taehyung’s resting figure before stepping out of the room. 

 

“That's great news. How is he?”

 

“He can't remember anything. I think he's having a terrible headache, too.” 

 

“I see. I was actually expecting that. I'm on my way.” 

 

“Oh and, doc?” Jeongguk hesitated for a moment. 

 

“Yes, mister Jeon?”

 

“Address him only by his first name.” He absolutely cannot afford any slip ups. 

 

“Understood.” The doctor doesn't quite get the reason behind it but he knows it's best not to question the motives of Busan’s most powerful man’s son. 

 

“Thank you.” Jeongguk ended the call and went back in. Taehyung was now lying on his back with his eyes closed. He must be exhausted from all the thinking and the headache, Jeongguk concluded. 

 

Jeongguk leaned down to leave the softest kiss on Taehyung’s forehead, “Sleep tight, angel. I'll wake you up when the doctor's here.”  

 

📸

 

When the doctor arrived, Jeongguk quickly briefed him on what happened earlier when Taehyung woke up. The doctor inspected Taehyung’s sleeping figure first before waking him up. 

 

Taehyung slowly sat up when he saw the doctor. 

 

“Taehyung-ssi, I'm doctor Min, your attending physician.” The doctor introduced himself. 

 

“Just Taehyung is fine, Dr. Min.” 

 

“Alright, Taehyung. Can you tell me how you're feeling?” 

 

Taehyung took a deep breath and let out a sigh. “I don't know. My head hurts and I can't remember anything. I don't know who I am, I can't even remember my own husband.” Taehyung looked down in shame. 

 

Jeongguk noticed the doctor's sudden stiffened posture. 

 

“Taehyung, baby. Like I said, it's fine. I'm just really really thankful you're finally awake now.” Jeongguk comforted him. 

 

Even though Jeongguk is practically a stranger to Taehyung because of the memory loss, he can feel the sincerity and a sense of security whenever Jeongguk holds his hands. He feels like he could trust Jeongguk with his life. Taehyung feels safe and sound. 

 

Doctor Min cleared his throat. “From what I have gathered from your tests, the brain injury on your temporal lobe caused your memory loss.”

 

“Is it permanent? Will I get my memory back?” Taehyung asked with hopeful eyes. 

 

Now it's Jeongguk’s turn to hold his breath. 

 

“It depends. It could take weeks, months, years before you could regain your memory. There are also cases of permanent amnesia. It's rare but it happens.” The doctor looked at the two as he tried to read the room. 

 

“There is no specific cure for amnesia but there are treatments and therapies that can help you remember things. But, don't worry. In most cases, amnesia resolves itself even without treatment.” 

 

“That's… that's great news. I don't really like hospitals, Dr. Min, can I go home with Jeongguk? Back to our house?” 

 

Our house. Hearing that from Taehyung made his heart flutter. It was a product of his lies but it still made him feel elated. Taehyung even said his name for the very first time. It was like music to his ears, hearing his name spoken in Taehyung’s warm baritone voice sounds so sweet. 

 

“Hmm, I'd like to observe for another day just to be sure. I hope that's okay with the both of you.” Dr. Min particularly aimed it at Jeongguk. He knows he won't be able to do anything if Jeongguk will ask him to follow what Taehyung wants. 

 

“If that's what you think is the best for my husband, then it's fine with me. How about you, angel?” Jeongguk asked Taehyung with the sweetest voice. 

 

Taehyung really appreciates how considerate Jeongguk was. He keeps on calling him angel but if anything, Jeongguk’s the real angel in his eyes. 

 

“Okay. Another day won't hurt, I guess.” 

 

“Great. As for the headaches, a pain reliever will be given to you round the clock and another one as a rescue dose for breakthrough pains. Just tell the nurses okay, Taehyung?” 

 

“I will. Thank you, Dr. Min.” Taehyung politely thanked his doctor. 

 

“That’s all. I'll come back tomorrow. Again, if anything happens, just give me a call.”

 

Jeongguk nodded and stood up, “Thank you, Dr. Min” offering the doctor a firm handshake. “I really appreciate it.” 

 

“Like I said, just doing my job, Mr. Jeon.” The doctor left the two after that. 

 

Taehyung felt exhausted. He told Jeongguk that he's going to take a nap for a while and asked him to stay by his side while he sleeps, which the other man gladly agreed to. 

 

“I'll never leave you.” Jeongguk kissed the back of Taehyung’s hand while he watched the male drift into dreamland. 

 

A few minutes later, when Taehyung’s already in a deep slumber, Jeongguk let go of his hand and went out to make a phone call. 

 

“Mr. Jeon, to what do I owe the pleasure?” The man on the other line asked in a cheerful tone. 

 

“Jung, I need you to make a fake ID and passport for someone along with some other documents.”

 

“Alright, just send me the details.”

 

“Thanks. I need everything done by tomorrow. Oh and, call the caretaker of my beach house in Huntington. I might be moving there soon.” 

 

“Go it, boss.” 

 

Jeongguk ended the call and put his phone back in his pocket. Everything is all set. All he needs now is Taehyung’s approval and they'll be able to start a new chapter in their lives. 

 

The beginning of their story as a married couple. 

 

📸

 

When Taehyung got discharged from the hospital, the two discussed Jeongguk's proposal. 

 

“Taehyung, baby. Would you like to move to a new place? Let's build a new house of memories. Just the two of us. What do you think?” Jeongguk asked while he was driving them back to his house. 

 

Taehyung loved the idea. It will also be good for him. What's the point of crying over lost memories when you can make fresh new ones while in the process of healing and recovering, Taehyung thought. 

 

“I'd love that.” Taehyung gave Jeongguk a warm smile when the other male looked back at him. “Thank you, Jeongguk. You make me feel the safest when I'm with you.” 

 

Jeongguk’s heart soared from delight. This is way too far from what he was expecting when he first formulated his plan. 

 

And Jeongguk? He's not complaining, no. Not one bit. 

 

📸

 

It’s been almost a year since the incident happened. Taehyung now goes by the name of Jeon Taehyung officially. The couple started their new life in Huntington Beach, California.

 

It truly was a beautiful place. 

 

Taehyung fell in love with the city’s famous pier. He goes there with Jeongguk everytime he wants to relax and breathe some fresh air. The soft sound of waves crashing on the shore line relaxes his mind. The distinct salty smell of the sea makes his soul happy. He still hasn't recovered his memories but it doesn't bother him that much anymore.

 

As long as he's with Jeongguk, nothing else matters. 

 

They've been living under the same roof for months now. They did make a lot of new memories. Taehyung can vividly remember the first time they kissed. It was chaste and sweet. Almost like they were a pair shy of teenagers kissing for the very first time. They never really went past kissing. Everytime their make out sessions get heated, Jeongguk will stop.

 

Just like now. 

 

The couple were on their king sized bed facing each other, laying side by side while lazily making out. Jeongguk has one hand on Taehyung’s cheek, the other on his thigh, sensually feeling up his mile-long legs. Their mouths slotted together perfectly, moving in unison. It was slow and deep, Taehyung’s favorite kind of kiss. Jeongguk swiped his tongue on his lower lip begging for entrance which Taehyung gladly granted. Taehyung moaned when he felt Jeongguk’s tongue caressing his own. The dominant male’s tongue began exploring his mouth, their spits mixing, their tastes combining. It was the best feeling in the world. 

 

“Tae, baby. Can you stick your tongue out for me?” Jeongguk breathlessly asked. 

 

Taehyung obeyed and stuck out his tongue. He has no idea what the other man was planning but he still did what he was told. 

 

Jeongguk gave his tongue kittenish licks first before sucking on the soft muscle, making Taehyung moan louder. Taehyung hooked his leg over Jeongguk’s hip to pull him closer which made their hard lengths touch. 

 

Jeongguk sucked Taehyung’s tongue harder and Taehyung began grinding on him faster. Jeongguk groaned when he felt his temperature rising, he's losing his senses dangerously fast. If this goes on, he won't be able to control himself anymore. 

 

Taehyung whined when Jeongguk stopped and pulled away. The two had a staring contest going on, hooded lustful eyes trying to challenge each other. 

 

“Why did you stop?” Taehyung asked, frustrated from his lover’s action. 

 

“I told you I don't want to make you do something you're not ready for yet. I won't be able to control myself–” 

 

“I'm ready. I'm more than ready, Jeongguk. We've been dancing around each other for months. I'm pretty sure I'm ready to go all the way with you.” Taehyung rambled after cutting Jeongguk’s repetitive speech. 

 

“Are–are you sure about this? Do you really want us to?” Jeongguk’s heart was racing. He's always been respectful to Taehyung. He never forced him to do anything he wasn't comfortable with. Jeongguk always lets Taehyung be the first one to decide and to initiate. So to hear all those things from Taehyung made him feel the happiest. 

 

“Yes! I'm one hundred percent sure. Jeongguk please, make love to me, make love to your husband.” Taehyung pleaded. He's finally had enough. It was torture for him everytime Jeongguk stops in the middle of their make out sessions. He appreciates his husband's devotion to respect his boundaries but tonight, he wanted Jeongguk to cross over it and succumb to temptation. 

 

Taehyung’s words made Jeongguk snap and lose all his remaining self control. Jeongguk lifted himself up and hovered over Taehyung’s smaller frame and placed his hands on the sides of Taehyung’s head. Both of them were breathing heavily. 

 

“You can't just say things like that.” Jeongguk scooted closer to Taehyung’s face. 

 

“Yes I can.” That was Taehyung’s last words before grabbing Jeongguk’s shirt and pulling him in for a searing kiss. 

 

Jeongguk was so stunned by Taehyung’s aggressiveness that he lost his balance, making his body fall right on top of the other. Their clothed members rubbed harshly on the impact earning a loud moan from the both of them. 

 

Jeongguk began rutting over his husband's dick, creating a delicious friction between their members. Taehyung unconsciously bucked his hips up when Jeongguk grinded hard on him. 

 

“Shit. Gukkie, please.” Taehyung tugged his shirt and begged shyly at his husband. 

 

“Please what?” Jeongguk teased while his mouth began traveling down to Taehyung’s neck, pressing wet, open-mouthed kisses. 

 

“Take these off and fuck me.” 

 

“Since you begged nicely.” Jeongguk detached himself from Taehyung’s neck and sat up to remove his clothes, not minding where the articles of clothing landed. 

 

Taehyung’s mouth watered when Jeongguk finally removed his boxers. His husband's thick length sprung free, earning a small gasp from him. Taehyung’s reaction gave Jeongguk an ego boost, mouth curling into a small smirk. 

 

“Like what you see?” Jeongguk asked while he grabbed his own cock and gave it a few pumps. 

 

Oh, Taehyung’s definitely liking what's in front of him. 

 

“I'll like it better if you'll finally put it in me.” 

 

Jeongguk laughed heartily, “Since when did you become such a brat?” He asked while smiling lovingly at his lover. 

 

“Since you kept on being such a tease.” Taehyung pouted. 

 

“Am I now?” 

 

“Yes! Can you please just get on with it?” 

 

“If that's what my angel wants.” Jeongguk dived in for a kiss. It was Taehyung’s time to get naked now. Jeongguk sneaked his hands inside Taehyung’s oversized shirt, running his hands up and down his torso. He backed away to pull Taehyung’s shirt over his head before quickly connecting their lips again. Jeongguk will never get tired of kissing Taehyung. His full lips feel so soft against his. Taehyung let out a muffled moan when their tongues began to swirl and dance together. 

 

Jeongguk detached from Taehyung’s heavenly mouth, lips grazing on his jaw down to his throat. Jeongguk licked a stripe on his neck and began sucking and biting on Taehyung’s exposed skin. His hand travelled down Taehyung’s soft tummy, stopping to play with the other’s waistband. Jeongguk tugged and released it, creating a loud snap. His other hand was busy playing with Taehyung’s perky bud, earning a sweet moan from his husband. 

 

Taehyung choked on his own saliva when Jeongguk slipped his hand inside his boxers and grabbed his aching cock. Jeongguk started flicking his wrist, squeezing from time to time, making Taehyung gasp for air. Jeongguk pressed his thumb on Taehyung’s slit and Taehyung couldn't stop moaning from the pleasure. 

 

“Mmm, my baby’s so wet for me.” Jeongguk spread the precum all over the head of Taehyung's cock. Jeongguk went down to pull Taehyung’s boxers off, finally releasing his throbbing member from its confines. 

 

“So big and pretty.” Jeongguk praised Taehyung’s impressive length before giving it a lick from the base all the way to the tip. Jeongguk sucked the head and lapped up Taehyung’s precum, savoring the salty taste. 

 

Taehyung arched his back while his hands went to grab a fistful of Jeongguk’s hair when his husband finally put his dick inside his warm mouth. It feels so good. It truly, absolutely, feels so good to have Jeongguk’s lips wrapped around his cock. 

 

“Angel, can you please get the lube in the bottom drawer of our night stand?” Jeonguk asked Taehyung before he continued to bob his head up and down Taehyung’s length. 

 

Taehyung reached down and hurriedly grabbed the unused bottle of lube and passed it to Jeongguk. He looked down and almost came at the sight of his husband's tongue gliding on his member. 

 

Jeongguk opened the cap and squeezed a fair amount of lube on his hand. He went back to giving his husband the best head he could while keeping an eye contact with him. It turned him on even more knowing that Taehyung was watching him. Jeongguk’s lube-slicked fingers teased Taehyung’s hole, making the other man squirm. Taehyung had always known that his husband was good at multitasking. Jeongguk’s giving him a great blowjob while fucking him open with his fingers. Taehyung swore he saw stars when Jeongguk curled his fingers. 

 

“Jeongguk!” Taehyung moaned his name loudly. 

 

Jeongguk hummed around his cock in response and continued brushing his fingers over Taehyung’s sweet spot. Once he felt Taehyung’s hole was relaxed and loose enough, he pulled his fingers out and detached his mouth from his lover’s dick. Jeongguk coated his member with lube and spread Taehyung’s legs apart. 

 

“One last chance to back out.” Jeongguk asked for his husband’s permission once more. 

 

“Take me, Gukkie. ‘M all yours.” Taehyung reassured him that he really does want this. 

 

That's all Jeongguk needed to hear. He aligned himself on Taehyung’s entrance and slowly pushed his entire length in. Taehyung’s tight heat around his cock feels heavenly. Jeongguk let Taehyung adjust to his size and waited for his permission before moving. 

 

“Mmm, you're so big.” Taehyung moaned, “Feel so full.” He kept clenching around Jeongguk, making the man groan from the pleasure and bite down on his shoulder. 

 

“Fuck,” Taehyung cursed when Jeongguk bit him, “baby, you can move now.”

 

Jeongguk let out the breath he was holding and finally started thrusting shallowly. Jeongguk withdrew his dick until only the head remained inside before slamming his length back in, earning a loud moan from Taehyung. 

 

Jeongguk hooked Taehyung’s legs around his waist, which the other secured tightly. Jeongguk grabbed his husband's hips and began fucking harshly into him. 

 

Taehyung feels like he's on the clouds. Jeongguk’s fucking him really good, exactly the way he wanted. Alternating between fast hard thrusts and slow deep ones. Jeongguk’s cock brushed over his prostate making his toes curl from the intense pleasure. 

 

“There! Oh god, Jeongguk don't stop.” 

 

“Here?” Jeongguk pressed his cock on Taehyung’s sweet spot.

 

“Yes yes yes! I'm–I'm close, please.” Taehyung looked at his husband with pleading eyes. He wanted to chase the release he so badly needed. 

 

Jeongguk continued attacking the sensitive bundle of nerves with each thrust. He can feel Taehyung’s walls clenching around him, sucking his member in greedily. He doesn't want to cum yet but Taehyung was clenching so hard it's making him lose his damn mind. 

 

“Cum with me, angel.” Jeongguk captured Taehyung’s mouth once more before grabbing his leaking cock and jerking it off in sync with his thrusts. 

 

Taehyung’s legs on Jeongguk’s waist slid down when he came, legs parting wider. Taehyung’s back arched like a bow, head thrown back and mouth hanging open while a loud sweet moan escaped his lips. The pleasure he felt was so intense. 

 

Too intense? 

 

Taehyung’s head started hurting. Images began flooding his brain, visions of different scenarios played inside his mind. 

 

His lost memories came rushing back to him. 

 

Jeongguk’s thrusts became sloppy and soon enough he too, reached his high. He came deep inside his lover, painting his insides with thick white ropes of cum. Jeongguk rested his head on Taehyung’s chest while he tried to regain his composure. 

 

And then he heard it. 

 

Taehyung’s sobs. 

 

Jeongguk withdrew his length and immediately pulled his lover in for an embrace, thinking maybe he went a little too rough on him. 

 

“Angel, what's wrong? I'm sorry, was I too rough?”

 

“Jeongguk.” Taehyung looked at him with tear stained eyes. 

 

“Yes, baby? Tell me what's wrong.”

 

“I remember everything now.” Taehyung confessed. He now remembers everything. 

 

Even that dreadful night at the parking lot. 

 

Jeongguk felt like every ounce of blood was drained out from his body. Like someone poured a bucket of ice-cold water on him. 

 

Jeongguk couldn't stop himself from crying, the guilt eating him up. He doesn't have the strength to look at Taehyung. He can't face him, he's too ashamed of himself to have the guts to look at the other man. 

 

“I'm sorry.” Jeongguk apologized in between sobbing. “I'm sorry for everything. For all the lies. I just–” he raised his head to glance at Taehyung for a second. “I just love you so fucking much. I know it can never justify all the wrong things I've done but, that's the truth.” Jeongguk laughed bitterly at himself. 

 

“At least that part wasn't a lie. Believe me, I love you, Tae.” Jeongguk looked at Taehyung’s eyes and held his hand, “I’ve always loved you and that will never change. I understand if you don't want anything to do with me anymore. I won't stop you this time if you want to leave.” Jeongguk gave him a genuine smile. 

 

What Taehyung did shocked Jeongguk to the core. 

 

Taehyung didn’t push him away, no. He kissed Jeongguk

 

Taehyung kissed him. 

 

“I'm not going anywhere.” Taehyung smiled at him. 

 

“Yes, what you did was wrong. Our start was built on lies. But I know for sure, being with you for almost a year, I can say for sure that you truly love me. And that I love you with all my heart. I'm sure about my feelings. Gaining my memory back didn't change the way I feel for you.”

 

Jeongguk cried harder at Taehyung’s words. He doesn't deserve him. He doesn't deserve this angel in front of him. 

 

“Gukkie, please stop crying. It wasn't hard to fall in love with someone as genuine as you. I've never felt like this before. I've never, in my entire life, felt so loved.”

 

“You–you really mean that? Everything you just said?” Jeongguk asked with a shaky voice. 

 

“I meant every single word, Jeon Jeongguk. So please, believe me.” Taehyung pulled him in for a warm hug. 

 

“You’re not gonna leave?” 

 

“Nope. Never. I'll stay by your side, angel.” It was Taehyung’s turn to say those words now. 

 

“Jeon Taehyung.” Taehyung tested the name on his tongue. “Has a nice ring to it, honestly.” Taehyung giggled, finally making the other man smile. 

 

“It does. It's just, that too was a lie. The marriage certificate, the papers, they were all fake.” Jeongguk said in a defeated tone. 

 

“Then let's make it real this time. No more lies.” Taehyung offered his pinky finger. 

 

As childish as it was, it still made the both of them smile. 

 

“No more lies.” Jeongguk completed the pinky promise and sealed the deal. 

 

Jeongguk swore to never lie again. 

 

They will build clean new memories together. Taehyung’s old memories and the ones founded on lies, will be surpassed with fresh new ones. 

 

No more lies.
