Work Text:
The sun was setting, barely shining through the clouds as snow gently glided down from the sky. Jungkook was outside of his home smoking before his wonderful, amazingly talented, beautiful, handsome, sexy, incredible boyfriend, Seonghwa, would come over to spend the night. After their first date a few months ago, the two had been inseparable: they did everything in their power to see one another, making (sometimes even forcing) room in their schedules so they could meet one another. Jungkook had much less work than Seonghwa at the moment, so it mostly fell on the younger to figure out time for them to spend time in each other’s company. Fortunately, it was more time than either of them could possibly ever imagine and they made sure to use such a beautiful blessing from the universe to the absolute fullest. Now that it was later on in the year, they had a little bit more time to spend with one another due to the impending holidays (despite the inevitable Christmas performances expected of Seonghwa and the rest of ATEEZ) meaning that not only would they spend the night with one another, but also spend the following day together.
Most of the time, they would hang out at Jungkook’s place because of the privacy it provided the two of them. Jungkook had offered to drive to Seonghwa’s apartment to spend time with him so he didn’t have to constantly be the one traveling, but he had to remind him that he still had two roommates and if they ever wanted to do anything , they couldn’t do it there. Seonghwa wasn’t keen on getting caught having sex by either San or Mingi (which they would never live down if that ever happened) nor was his bed as big as Jungkook’s. It was simply more convenient to stay with Jungkook for a lot of reasons, not just regarding sex: they could play video games together, play with Bam, or cuddle on the couch while watching some shitty movie or show on the T.V. He also enjoyed driving after getting his license, so Jungkook obliged even if it made him feel a bit guilty at times.
Since they spent most of their time at Jungkook’s place, he now made sure to always smoke outside regardless of the time. The second time they had spent the night together, he had made the mistake of smoking indoors without really considering how Seonghwa would feel about it. The younger did not like it at all, actually: the scent gave him a headache, resulting in the entire living room having to be sprayed with air freshener and a disgruntled boyfriend. From that point forward, Jungkook pinky-promised that he would smoke outside and away from him, and would rinse his mouth after every session.
He stuck to that plan, checking the time on his watch before putting out his cigarette and heading back inside. After washing his mouth, he slipped off the clothes he was wearing and threw on something much more comfortable. He didn’t necessarily have to, but he always did it just in case his clothes also smelled horrendous after smoking. He didn’t want to hurt Seonghwa again because of his own carelessness after the first time he saw him cry– well, that time was completely unrelated to Jungkook’s smoking (it was because Seonghwa was stressed from work), but it pained him so much to see him in such a state that he made a promise to himself and his boyfriend that he would do anything in his power to make him happy or, at the very least, lend himself as a safe place to express negative emotions.
It wasn’t long before the doorbell rang, making Bam jump off his bed and go ballistic. Jungkook shushed him and made him go in his cage for a brief moment as he opened the door, revealing Seonghwa’s gorgeous, excited smile that he always had when visiting him. He was holding not only everything he needed to spend the night and the next day, but also a paper bag that had the LEGO brand on it, meaning that tonight they were going to build whatever set he brought this time. Jungkook actually enjoyed building the sets with him even though it wasn’t a frequent thing they did together. Most of the time, they would cuddle on the couch watching a movie and one of two things would happen: either they had mindblowing sex or they simply fell asleep. The former would usually be followed up by them ordering takeout and/or going into the shower to “wash up” (it was always an excuse for a second round). As for the latter, it resulted in Jungkook waking up two to three hours later with Seonghwa still fast asleep in his lap, having to carry the younger to his bed. And, of course, sometimes, other things were added to the mix such as building one of Seonghwa’s LEGO sets.
“Hi, hyung!” Seonghwa chirped as he walked in, setting his bags on the furthest end of the couch.
Jungkook closed the door, shivering as some of the winter breeze blew inside. “Man, it’s so cold now. It wasn’t that cold when I was smoking.”
“I nearly double layered up, but I felt like that would be inconvenient,” he replied, taking off his coat, hanging it up on the coat rack.
“What do you mean?”
“What do you mean, ‘what do you mean?’ I think you know.”
Jungkook stepped closer to Seonghwa, pulling him a bit closer to him by his waist. Their faces were now impossibly close to each other, their warm breaths brushing against each other’s skin. The younger’s once innocent look in his eyes transformed into desire, making Jungkook smirk. “I’m just shocked that you’re so eager to fuck so soon. Let me guess: you haven’t eaten, have you?” Seonghwa would never eat a few hours before he was (hoping) to have sex as a precaution to prevent… well, the rest can be assumed and doesn’t need to be further elaborated on. Jungkook never really questioned it for two reasons: it seemed logical and Seonghwa was much more experienced than him when it came to gay sex.
“Nope. So maybe we should hurry up and get on with it before I starve to death.”
“You’re so impatient… and dramatic."
“Well, maybe my boyfriend needs to do his job and take care of me so that won’t be the case.”
“Well, are you prepped?”
“No shit, dummy. I wouldn’t be asking you to take me right now if I wasn’t clean with a butt plug up my ass,” Seonghwa replied, wrapping his arms around Jungkook’s neck, “It’s kinda hard to drive with something in you, especially when it gets a bit bumpy.”
“Oh? Is it the one I ordered for you?” Jungkook smirked, leaning his face even closer to the other’s.
“Why don’t you find out?” He grabbed the bulge forming in the older’s pants, giving it a gentle squeeze, making Jungkook croak out a moan, making his eyes shut close. Suddenly, he pulled away from Jungkook (to his dismay) with a smug look on his face. “But first, I have to greet Bam.”
Jungkook’s eyes shot open. “Oh, you little–”
Before Jungkook could finish his sentence, Seonghwa was speaking to Bam in a baby voice, petting him and showering him in kisses. He wasn’t frustrated for long knowing that this was his beloved boyfriend’s way of riling him to make the sex even better. After all, what was the fun in not being a bit of a tease? This side of him was something he had never expected from him when they first met, but damn, he wasn’t mad about it at all. It took a bit of time for that side of him to expose itself and once it did, their sex lives only got better. Even if it was a bit masochistic, he couldn’t help but love it.
It also provided an opportunity for himself to get ready and get Seonghwa’s duffle bag into his room which he immediately began to do. He scurried back to the couch, slinging it over his shoulders, and sped walk to his bedroom. After setting it down, he made sure to grab a condom and lube from his nightstand, placing them on the bed before going into the bathroom for a towel and wet wipes. Once everything was organized, Seonghwa walked in, his arms crossed. He had already taken off his jeans, throwing them towards his bag, leaving him only in black boxers and a sweater.
“Wow,” he began, “I guess you’re all set up.”
“Mhm, but we can’t do anything until you get on the bed.”
Seonghwa playfully rolled his eyes and climbed onto the bed, propping himself up on a pillow. He motioned for Jungkook to join him with his finger, the older obliged, climbing on top of him. The sight of the younger underneath him made his head spin, making him close the gap between them, pressing his lips against the plush ones before him. Seonghwa let out a soft moan which nearly made Jungkook rip the clothes right off of him, but instead, he pulled back and asked politely which the younger didn’t hesitate to do. He shivered at the cold air hitting his skin, making him hiss.
“Do you need a blanket?” Jungkook asked, playing with the younger’s soft hair.
“Maybe. Let’s just wait and see in like five minutes just in case I get warmed up when we actually fuck.”
“Sounds good to me,” he replied, smiling, which made his boyfriend do the same. However, it was quickly interrupted when his boxers were slid off by Jungkook, resulting in an even louder groan than before. He was already hard and, more than likely, had been for a while. Jungkook sighed at the sight of his leaking cock; his brain only got more fuzzy once he took sight of the butt plug, the exact one that he had bought for him just a month ago after some begging from the younger. He still couldn’t believe he got to call the man before him, and all his beauty, his lover. “I think I might just be the luckiest man alive.”
“Hm? Why’s that?”
“I get to call you my boyfriend,” he stated, grabbing the tip of the plug before pushing it in and out of Seonghwa.
“ F-Fuck , I love you,” Seonghwa moaned out.
“I love you, too.”
Jungkook kept fucking him with the plug only for a minute longer namely to make sure Seonghwa was truly stretched out enough, but it was also fun to tease him just a little bit longer. Afterwards, he pulled it completely out, drawing out a long sigh from him which only hardened both of their erections more. He set it to the side, grabbing the lube as a replacement along with the condom.
Seonghwa shook his head, confusing (and somewhat worrying) Jungkook. “You don’t need to use a condom.”
“Oh? Are you sure?”
“Yeah, I’m sure. We’ve been together for long enough and it’s not like we’re gonna give each other STDs. We’ve both been tested enough so I’m sure,” he sighed, “I just want to feel you, please.”
“Okay, baby. Don’t worry, you will.” He tossed the condom onto the nightstand before moving his now free hand to Seonghwa’s cheek, caressing it. “If you want me to put one on later, just tell me, yeah?”
“Yes, of course.” The sweet, tooth-rotting look Seonghwa originally had returned to his eyes which almost brought Jungkook to his knees. He quickly tossed off his own clothes, the cold making himself shiver making the younger giggle. “See? I told you it was cold.”
“I didn’t doubt you one second on that. I think we should start as soon as possible, then”
“Please do.”
With that, Jungkook grabbed the towel, lifting Seonghwa’s hips up in order to lay it underneath him. He then reached for the lube and popped the lid open, pouring some over Seonghwa’s hole. The younger groaned at the feeling more than likely from the chilled air. Jungkook calmly shushed him as a response, caressing his cheek again with one hand and fingering in the lube with the other. His mouth fell agape at the sensation, his mouth pouring out quiet moans as he watched the older slowly fuck him with his fingers. Jungkook felt his own cock twitch making him even more impatient than before.
He pulled out his fingers, wiping them on the towel beneath them then crept his hand to Seonghwa’s waist. He used his other hand to help line himself up to the younger’s hole, leaning down towards his face, giving him a deep kiss. “You ready?” he asked.
“Mhm.”
“Words, baby. Use your words.”
“Y-Yes, please.”
“Good boy,” Jungkook whispered in Seonghwa’s ear as he pushed in, dragging out a high-pitched moan from him.
“Fuck! Oh my God, please move .”
Jungkook began to thrust into him, punching out moans from the man underneath him. Seonghwa’s eyes rolled to the back of his head before his eyelids eventually fell shut, his moans growing louder by the second. He had to have been insanely sensitive from how long he had been horny, yet somehow he was still hanging on for a while as the older eventually sped up, kissing him as they moaned into each other’s mouths. Thankfully, the warmth of their bodies deflected the cold simply from how close they were, neither of them daring to let go of the other. Jungkook couldn’t help but turn his attention to the crook of Seonghwa’s neck and collarbones, placing kisses hard enough to be felt, but soft enough to wear they wouldn’t leave any bruising.
“ Fuck , Kookie. B-Be careful to n-not leave a mark.”
“I won’t, I-I promise,” Jungkook panted out, “D-Don’t want the m-media on our asses.”
“As if your company d-doesn’t pay a shit ton – fuck – a shit ton already to keep them quiet,” Seonghwa giggled before letting out a moan from a particularly deep thrust, “Oh God, please go faster!”
“I got you, baby,” he replied as he moved his hands to the younger’s thighs, lifting his legs and throwing them over his own shoulders to be able to sink deeper into him. Seonghwa arched his back and threw his arms around the older’s neck, a string of begs flowing out of his mouth like a sweet melody that was addicting to Jungkook, making him only want to hear more. It gave him all the motivation he needed to quicken his pace and slip even deeper into his boyfriend which was noticeable by the pleasure contorting on his face. He pressed his body into his even more, locking their lips once again which muffled the younger.
They kept going for what felt like hours (it was actually just twenty minutes), even changing positions at one point to doggy style as Seonghwa kept begging to be “rammed into from behind.” His face was now buried in the pillow that he once laid on, the lewd noises falling from his mouth being muffled, but not to the point where they weren’t still filling the room along with the sound of skin slapping against skin. Even if Seonghwa wasn’t expressing it through words, it was clear that Jungkook had found his prostate by the obscene sounds and their increased frequency. No doubt that he was getting close to his climax and so was Jungkook himself, so the older gripped the younger’s hips even harder and sped up to an impossible speed.
“O-Oh God!” Seonghwa croaked out, lifting his head back up, “Keep going!”
“ Fuck , babe. You feel so f-fucking good.”
Seonghwa replied with a particular moan that was somehow louder than the rest as he grabbed his own cock and started to jerk himself off. It set something primal off in Jungkook, making him instinctively grab onto the younger’s hair to hold his head in place. Seonghwa went quiet for a brief second which meant that he was very close to cumming, encouraging Jungkook to do his absolute best to help him get to that point. He was successful in doing that as the younger soon came hard, white ropes shooting out of him, coating his stomach and the towel below him. His moans were still loud, but much deeper in tone and were drawn out much longer.
Jungkook was very close himself, but before he could pull out to jerk himself off, a hand grabbed onto his wrist. “Don’t you fucking pull out.”
“You want it inside?!” he replied both confused and unbelievably aroused by the idea. Somehow, he was surprised despite every indication that Seonghwa wanted it, but he was never always too sure just in case that the younger would change his mind.
“No shit!” Seonghwa panted, “Please! Just… give it to me, fuck! ”
Jungkook only nodded in reply, moving his hand back to the younger’s hips. He thrusted a few more times into his boyfriend, whimpering as he came in him. Seonghwa whimpered at the feeling of being filled up, holding onto Jungkook’s hand as he finished. Afterwards, they both stayed in that position as they both came down from their highs, trying to take deep breaths to calm themselves. Jungkook pulled out of the younger, a stream of cum leaking from his asshole. “Holy shit,” he said under his breath.
“What?” Seonghwa asked, a bit worried as he laid down onto his side.
“Oh, nothing’s wrong. You’re just– fuck. You’re fucking beautiful.”
He softly smiled. “Thank you.”
“Of course, my love,” Jungkook replied, leaning down to kiss him on the cheek, “Let’s clean you up, yeah?”
“Mhm.”
Jungkook grabbed the wet wipes and went to work, wiping the cum off of Seonghwa’s hole before gently flipping him onto his back to wipe off any other traces of cum on his thighs and torso. Seonghwa remained pliant and still throughout the process, still trying to catch his breath after being pounded into. He always looked serene after sex: his golden, tanned skin coated with sweat; his hair was messy, yet still remained elegant; his parted lips swollen after the intense amount of kissing; his eyes glazed over with desire and love. His afterglow was one of the best things that came with having sex with him and damn, Jungkook couldn’t get enough of it and would never. Despite not being religious, he secretly begged the universe and every god in existence to help him not completely fuck up the relationship because if he ever fumbled with Seonghwa, he would never forgive himself and would rather die.
He quickly finished cleaning his boyfriend up, throwing away the used wipes and dirtied towel off the bed. Although the night wasn’t over, they gave a look to one another, a way of telepathically communicating that they wanted to cuddle before they, inevitably, had to shower and order some food and build the LEGO set still sitting on the couch in the living room. Jungkook crawled over to Seonghwa, laying down next to him and wrapping his arms around him, pulling him into a spoon position. Despite the two of them both still being naked, neither of them got hard again, rather basking in the sweet moment for the time being. Jungkook savored the softness of Seonghwa’s skin, kissing the back of his neck gently and whispering praises such as “You’re one of the most handsome and beautiful people ever,” “You’re such an incredible person,” and, “You’re such a wonderful boyfriend,” in between every kiss.
After about ten minutes, Seonghwa told him he was ready to shower. “But no funny business,” he added, “I’m getting hungry and want to build my new LEGO set with you.”
“Of course, babe. We won’t do anything unless you say so. I’m guessing you still want us to shower together?”
“Yes, silly. I want you to wash my hair with your shampoo, too,” he replied as he sat up.
Jungkook followed suit, smiling at his words. “You’re gonna use it all before the month ends!”
“You’re rich so you can afford it! Can I not smell like you?” A pout formed on Seonghwa’s face which was half sarcastic and half serious.
“Yes you can, babe. Don’t worry, I’m only joking.”
“Mhm, you better be. Ah, also, can I wear your clothes to sleep in? I brought my own but… well, you know. They also don’t smell like you, either.”
Jungkook started to laugh at Seonghwa’s cuteness and his insistence of wanting to constantly be reminded of him. “You know that you can, honey. Pick whatever you want.”
Seonghwa got up from the bed, staring lovingly at Jungkook as he went over to the dresser. He bent over purposely making sure his ass was filling the older’s vision. Jungkook could only laugh at the ridiculousness of it, but damn, it was still sexy. Seonghwa rummaged through the dresser, sifting through the clothes looking for something to wear. However, he pulled back empty-handed once he closed it and looked back at Jungkook. “Where’s all the colorful clothes you promised you would buy for yourself?”
“Ah, those would be in the walk-in closet… in the furthest corner to never see the light.”
“Oh, it’s such a dream of mine to have one of those in my apartment.”
“You have more of a fashion sense than me so if we ever move in together, it’s all yours.”
“Nice joke.”
“I’m serious! It would probably look much better with your clothes than mine.”
Seonghwa softly giggled. “Thank you, babe, but I don’t think that’ll happen any time soon.”
“You never know– well, unless your company won’t allow it.”
“Oh they will, that’s not the problem. It’s just that I have so much work with my group and I feel like I would be abandoning them if I did move out,” he sighed.
“You’ll have to discuss that with them if the time ever comes. I’m sure they wouldn’t feel abandoned or anything and would probably be supportive of you. You guys seem like you really care for one another.”
“You’re right, thank–” Seonghwa suddenly shivered, “Shit, I think we better get in the shower and put some clothes on.”
“Yep, and order some takeout, yeah?” Jungkook asked, standing up and walking over to Seonghwa.
“How about we order Chinese food?”
“As you wish, my love.”
They made their way to Jungkook’s closet, Seonghwa picking out matching pink hoodies and white sweatpants for the two of them to wear for the rest of the night and sleep in. Afterwards, the younger went to go collect his skin care products as the older got them some towels and any other necessities. Once Seonghwa came back, they showered together, sharing some kisses and embraces with one another (but no funny business, of course). Despite the romantic moment being short lived, it was still enjoyable for the both of them and set the tone for the rest of the night.
They finished showering, along with their skin care routines, and soon ordered takeout. Seonghwa’s stomach rumbled at the mere mention of it, startling Jungkook a little bit. The younger assured him he was fine, just extra hungry after their particularly intense session of… cardio. It didn’t matter long once the food arrived only twenty minutes later making Bam, once again, go nuts. It always made Seonghwa laugh seeing the dog get excited over people arriving at Jungkook’s door which made Jungkook laugh, too. Bam did calm down quickly, though, allowing for the two lovers to eat their takeout in peace.
The two of them soon found themselves sitting on the floor in front of the coffee table that was covered in LEGOs and the instructions that came with the set. The T.V. was on, too, playing some random dating show. At first, it was for background noise, but eventually they both got somewhat invested in it, but of course that didn’t take away from the main task at hand. Seonghwa sat between Jungkook’s legs, his back leaned against the older’s chest as he assembled part of the set. Jungkook was working on another, but much smaller, part; he believed that he wasn’t the best with LEGOs. He also had a very hot and cute distraction right in front of him leading him to take small breaks in between assembling parts to pamper kisses along the younger’s neck which would make them both giggle.
There was not a lot of conversation happening for a while, Seonghwa engrossed in what he was doing and Jungkook enjoying his warmth. There were a few comments here and there about the show (and how stupid some of the contestants' choices were in who they wanted to date), but that was about it until Jungkook’s mind began to wander. Whether it was the current tender moment or the dating show or possibly even both, he began to think about how long they had been dating and what that usually came with. Their relationship was solid and in a healthy state with no signs of either of them wanting to break up with the other or on mutual terms; it was going extremely well all things considered despite some challenges along the way. Because of this, it was only natural for him to think it was a good idea for the two of them to introduce each other to their own little worlds: their bandmates and families.
Introducing each other to their parents would probably have to wait a little bit longer since even Jungkook was a bit nervous to do that. Seonghwa’s parents knew he was queer and he knew they wouldn’t find issue in their relationship, but his own parents were a different story. They weren’t exactly homophobic, but they certainly didn’t know he was queer himself and in a same-sex relationship to boot. That would have to wait until he decided to come out to them and see if they actually accepted him despite thinking he was always straight.
However, this was not the case for his bandmates. Of course, Yoongi knew since the beginning that Jungkook had started to date Seonghwa and was now in a relationship. It wasn’t long after that before the rest of his hyungs knew about it with Namjoon and Jimin being the second two to find out the next morning, and Seokjin, Hoseok, and Taehyung finding out the following day once he had texted to the group chat that he was so in love with a man . All of them had always been very accepting of the LGBTQ+ community with some of them being a part of it themselves, meaning that they quickly showed support to him and excitement for his new relationship. Of course, as time went on, they became more and more curious to actually meet Seonghwa especially after Hoseok had met San a few times to record dance challenges. If San was so kind and wonderful to be around, Seonghwa surely had to be just as wonderful. After all, he was rocking Jungkook’s world and made him a much happier and better man.
That’s when he decided to finally ask, even if he was a bit nervous. “Hwa,” he began, “We’ve been dating for a while and – I’m sorry if this is too soon, by the way – I wanted to ask if you would like to meet my bandmates.” Seonghwa immediately held his breath for half a second before quickly relearning how to breathe, making Jungkook assume he made a mistake for even suggesting the idea. “I’m sorry! I didn’t mean–”
“No! No, it’s fine. I just– shit , when would this even happen?”
“Well, I was thinking soon and since neither of us have work tomorrow… you know, maybe then? Or some other time, of course! I just– yeah.”
“Tomorrow?! That’s such a big thing with your group,” Seonghwa replied, gently setting down the LEGOs in his hands before leaning even more into Jungkook. Despite trying to relax himself, he still remained tense.
Oh. Right. That part. “Shit, I didn’t think about that. Even then, they know who you are and they have been wanting to meet you for a while now.”
“Never thought in my life BTS would know who I am let alone one of the members be in a relationship with me. You remember how starstrucked and shy I was when I first met you? That’s what I’m worried about: embarrassing myself in front of some of your closest friends who all-so-happen to be in the biggest group in the industry.”
“I understand where you’re coming from, but I know you won’t embarrass yourself! The guys would make sure you’re comfortable and not too stressed. You know how Hobi-hyung has been with San-ssi and how much he cares about you and your group. They all have nothing but respect for you, all of you,” he sighed, “You don’t have to meet them tomorrow if you’re not ready. I just wanted to give that option to you.”
“Oh, hyung, I love you. I think I’m ready, I just wasn’t expecting you to ask right now. I’ll probably be nervous no matter what even if you talk for me while I hide behind you.”
He laughed, making Seonghwa relax his posture. “I doubt that will happen. You get talkative once you’re comfortable and I’m positive they will make you comfortable.”
“Hopefully. Just don’t be surprised when I get extremely shy.”
“Not when, if .”
“Nope, definitely when .”
“Alright, baby, I won’t argue with you. I still think you won’t embarrass yourself.”
“I’m so happy you think that highly of me.”
“Because it’s the truth,” Jungkook replied, wrapping his arms around Seonghwa’s torso. He laid his head on his shoulder, taking in the scent of the lotion the younger always put on after showering. “They’ll love you, I promise.”
----------------------------------------
It was the next day around noon and Jungkook was driving Seonghwa to Lotte World Mall to meet up with the rest of BTS. After Jungkook had texted them that Seonghwa was willing to meet them tomorrow, all six of them were very quick to set aside any plans to finally meet him. Of course, all of them naturally asked if any other of the ATEEZ members was going to tag along since if it were only Seonghwa there, it might spark more suspicions of him dating one of them. Because of this, San was invited since he had already met Hoseok and Jungkook (though briefly with the latter) and would, hopefully, bring about gossip that ATEEZ and BTS had now formed a proper friendship and possibly even spark potential future music collaboration rumors. Even if something like that never happened, it was much preferred over dating rumors, seeing how fans were entirely way too vicious when it came to idols dating. God only knows how they would react to two mainstream idols in a same-sex relationship, and neither Jungkook or Seonghwa wanted to be the first to find out. Sure, there are queer idols that are out and proud, but their situation was different… very different, in fact.
However, to Jungkook, that didn’t matter and there was no point in worrying about any of that for now. Today was going to be a good day and he was more than excited about his best friends, who he considered to be brothers, would finally meet the most wonderful, beautiful, incredible man that he got to call “boyfriend.” A smile grew on his lips as he took a glimpse of Seonghwa who looked more stunning than ever; he had fluffed-up his hair and was wearing jeans, a sweater, and the scarf he had brought with him the previous night. He had even asked if the older could do his makeup for him while they were getting ready, believing that his skills were not nearly good enough for him to look presentable. Jungkook was more than happy to do it for him and, quite frankly, he was excited that someone finally realized he wasn’t so bad at makeup. After all, he had been doing his own everyday makeup for years and was proud of what he had learned over time and for his boyfriend to validate his progress felt so good.
Jungkook took hold of Seonghwa’s hand, keeping his other hand on the steering wheel. “Nervous?”
“Mhm, a little bit. I think I’ll be okay since Sannie is coming with us.”
“You’ll be okay, I promise. Trust me when I say they’re more likely to embarrass themselves than you are to embarrass yourself.”
Seonghwa giggled in response, Jungkook squeezing his hand from cute aggression. He was telling the truth having known his bandmates for over a decade. The amount of times they’ve done stupid shit in public and have mortified themselves in front of complete strangers has been astronomical, but damn was it always funny and he hoped Seonghwa would feel the same way. It was a part of their charm, after all, and the reason why they were so special to him; he wanted to share his love for them with his boyfriend… assuming he didn’t find their antics insane.
The two of them soon arrived at the mall, the others having already made it there before them. San was still waiting in the parking lot with a manager, having texted Seonghwa that he was a bit nervous to go in and meet the rest of BTS without him. Jungkook asked the younger where he was parked so they could all go in together, which they soon did. San bowed to Jungkook and hugged Seonghwa, a bit tightly, too. “Jungkook-sunbaenim, sorry if I do or say something wrong in advance,” the youngest said, rubbing his neck after pulling back from the hug.
Jungkook shook his head. “Don’t worry about that. You’ve met one of my hyungs already and he had nothing but positive things to say about you.”
“You and I both will be fine, San-ah,” Seonghwa added, “We’ll just have to be careful to not fuck shit up.”
“I’m serious when I say you two really don’t have to worry about embarrassing yourselves. Like I said on the drive here: my hyungs are more likely to embarrass themselves than you guys.”
“Then I guess our bandmates aren’t too different after all,” San laughed as they began to walk towards the mall.
It wasn’t long before they made it into the mall, already receiving glances from strangers. Jungkook could even spot some people taking out their phones either to take pictures of or record them, possibly even make posts on social media about the sudden sighting of two ATEEZ members hanging out with him. No doubt once they met with the rest of the band there would be even more hushed whispers and phones out. He kept praying in his head that no fans would approach them because God knows they don’t need any fans interrupting such a precious moment, regardless if said fans didn’t know the gravity of what was happening. Privacy was a rarity with all of them and idols in general; no wonder Yoongi tried keeping as much of his life private as possible compared to the rest of them. No doubt Seonghwa, San, and the rest of ATEEZ shared the same sentiment after he had seen all those videos of fans approaching them during their down time (despite having endlessly repeated that they preferred if they didn’t do such).
Seonghwa clutched onto Jungkook’s arm as they soon found the rest of BTS who were all huddled around in front of a plushie store. Jimin was the first to take notice of them, quickly rushing to greet them, one of their managers watching from afar (they didn’t usually have a manager come with them during private meetings, but since all seven of them were in the same place meeting with two members from a different group, it felt necessary for their safety.) Seonghwa and San quickly bowed, their eyes going wide as the rest of the band followed suit. Jungkook could only quietly laugh at their nervousness, not out of malice, but because it was cute compared to both of their usual bold personalities. Of course, Seonghwa had the cutest reaction to his hyungs, seeing as almost all six of them went to him first (except for Hoseok who greeted San since they had already met multiple times before).
“Seonghwa-ssi, it’s so nice to finally meet you after Jungkook-ah has been keeping you away from us for so long!” Jimin chirped, shooting a sarcastic look towards Jungkook.
“Hey! He was busy, hyung!” Jungkook pouted, earning a nudge from him.
“I’m just teasing!” he replied, turning his attention back to Seonghwa, “Seriously though, I’m very excited to meet you.”
“Ah, that’s wonderful to hear! It’s nice to meet all of you, too.”
Hoseok turned his attention to the conversation happening after having talked with San. “Poor San-ssi has had to hear all my questions about you and your group ever since you and Jungkookie started dating.”
“Oh yeah! San-ah always told me about how you would ask if I was doing okay every time you two filmed those dance challenges. I really am thankful for that.”
“No problem. I hope work hasn’t been too bad for you two.”
Both Seonghwa and San shook their heads. “No,” San began, “Not bad, just a lot. Though, it’s leveled out now after the tour concluded.”
“That’s good. You both know that you can reach out to any of us if you need anything, right?”
The two of them looked at each other before turning their attention back to Hoseok. “Oh, we didn’t know! Thank you so much!” Seonghwa replied, smiling.
“I think Jungkookie might’ve forgotten to hand out our phone numbers to them,” Taehyung interjected.
Jungkook playfully rolled his eyes. “I didn’t want to scare my new boyfriend away by giving his phone number to you freaks.”
“How dare you!” he gasped, clutching his heart.
“I think you guys are scaring Seonghwa-ssi now,” Yoongi chimed in, nodding towards him. His eyes went wide again before blushing. Yoongi laughed at his expression. “Don’t worry, if any of these idiots scare you too much, I’ll make sure to tell them off. I think we should start shopping now before it gets too crowded in here.”
“To not overwhelm Hwa and San-ssi with… us, maybe we should split up? Hwa, San-ssi, and I can stick together the entire time and three of you can meet them at a time. We have two managers here with us for that.”
“Wow, that’s smartest idea you’ve ever had,” Jimin joked, but before Jungkook could bite back, he kept talking, “Hobi-hyung, Taehyungie and I can be in a group and Jin-hyung, Suga-hyung, and Namjoon-hyung can be in the second group.”
“Absolutley not! You three will give Seonghwa-ssi and San-ssi heart attacks,” Seokjin argued.
“Then Yoongi-hyung can take my place,” Hoseok suggested.
“That works,” Jungkook replied, “Let’s get started then.”
Namjoon, Seokjin, and Hoseok headed off to do their own thing for a while, leaving the rest of them to their own devices. Jungkook was somewhat embarrassed already, his bandmates having acted like, well, themselves in front of his boyfriend and his friend. He knew deep down it was a good sign that they were acting like their usual selves around Seonghwa and San; it meant that they were comfortable with and liked them. Still, it left him a bit flustered as he watched his boyfriend laugh and his bandmates banter with both from embarrassment and finding Seonghwa cute, per usual. The mixture of his nerves but finding humor in the stupidity before him made Jungkook’s heart flutter… then again anything Seonghwa did made his heart skip a few beats.
For example, the way Seonghwa just snaked his arms around one of his own as they entered a clothing store (at Jimin’s request). The younger’s sparkly, boba eyes met his own, a smile forming on his lips as he took in the beauty before him. Seonghwa giggled quietly, before clearing his throat. “Hyung, your friends are funny. They remind me of my own: they’re also a lot, but are also charming… in a unique way.”
“Ah, that’s good to hear. I was scared that you were going to bail out and run out of here with San-ssi.”
“Probably because hyungie is here to keep them sane,” Jimin commented.
Yoongi looked at Jimin. “It’s not my fault I have more shame than you.”
“I– hey!”
“It’s the truth and instead of trying to kill me, maybe you and Taehyung-ah should take San-ssi to look at clothes. I need to talk to our new brother-in-law and Jungkookie real quick.”
“Oh, alright.”
“Come on, San-ssi,” Taehyung began, motioning the younger to follow him, “I think Suga-hyung is gonna make sure Jungkookie is actually a good boyfriend and not an asshole.”
Jungkook rolled his eyes as they walked away, Jimin immediately sparking conversation with San. He then turned his attention to Yoongi and so did Seonghwa. “What did you want to talk about, hyung?”
“I just wanted to ask how the relationship is going. You know how those two are.”
Seonghwa looked at him confused, Jungkook taking notice. “He doesn’t mean it in a bad way. They’re just romantics who live for romance and can get nosey.”
“Ah, I see. Well, it’s going well, all things considered, even when work gets chaotic.”
“That’s good. I also wanted to make sure you guys weren’t facing any negative feedback to your relationship. I know it’s not known to the public that you are a couple, but I don’t know how many people you guys have told in your personal lives.”
“No, not really. Our families don’t even know yet.”
“Oh… well then regardless, if you two need anything, just ask me, alright?”
“Of course. Thank you sunbaenim.”
“You don’t have to be formal with me, Seonghwa-yah,” Yoongi smiled, “I think you’re one of us now in a way.”
“Oh, alright. Thank you, hyung!”
“You make Jungkookie so happy and I’m grateful for that. I trust he makes you feel the same?”
“Of course! I don’t think we would be meeting today if that weren’t the case.”
“True. Just wanted to make sure. If he ever hurts you in any way, just give me a call and I’ll beat him up for you,” he winked, making Seonghwa laugh.
“Hey! I wouldn’t lay a finger on him like that,” Jungkook scoffed.
“I know that– well, I’m assuming you wouldn’t. If that isn’t the case, I think Seonghwa-yah deserves to know that he will always have my support in any situation. Regardless, I will always be there when both of you need me.”
“Thank you, hyung–”
“Hey!” a voice behind the three of them began. They turned around and were met with a smiling Jimin, holding some clothes in his arms. “We found some cute clothes that Seonghwa-ssi might like! San-ah said these were his style so I wanted to ask if we can snatch him for a little bit? Assuming I’m not interrupting anything.”
“Wanting to play dress up with Jungkook-ah’s boyfriend already?” Yoongi commented.
“And what about it?” he sassed back, “He has a great fashion sense and makes for a great model. I’ve seen all those videos of him walking down runways.”
“Oh, wow, really? You know about all of that?” Seonghwa asked, shocked.
“Of course I do! We all do because Jungkook has been sending everything you’ve been doing to the group chat.”
The younger turned his full attention to Jungkook, his eyes sparkling even more with joy. “Really, hyung?!”
“Well, yeah. I’m proud of you and I like to share your achievements with them.”
He pulled the older in for a tight hug that lasted for only a few seconds, and yet it was filled with so much warmth that it made Jungkook smile and his heart pound in his chest. He wanted to kiss him badly to truly show him how he felt, but unfortunately, they were in public. The hug itself would possibly start up some rumors, but he knew most fans would deem them as “just friends” showing affection to one another whether it be due to plausible deniability or straight up homophobia. He knew it was necessary for that to be the public narrative regarding their relationship, but deep down, it broke his heart that they couldn’t exactly be super open about their romance. Regardless, he loved Seonghwa no matter what and he was one of the best things that had ever happened to him. He’ll just have to show how much he loves him later.
“I love you so much,” Seonghwa said as he pulled back.
“I love you, too.”
“Aw! This is cute and all, and I hate to ruin the moment, but I want to steal Seonghwa-ssi for myself and Taehyungie,” Jimin stated.
“Oh, right. I’ll be right back, hyungs!” Seonghwa replied, walking to join him. He waved at Yoongi as Jimin walked him towards the dressing rooms, talking about how he was okay with talking informally with him, too.
“I know I tease you a lot, but I really am happy for you,” Yoongi said, patting Jungkook’s back.
“I know, hyung. I thought that since day one when you decided to actually help me prepare for our first date.”
“Just wanted to make sure you knew it. When do you guys plan to introduce each other to your parents? Or is that even on the table?”
“I don’t know yet. I haven’t even come out to my parents yet.”
“You haven’t?”
“I– no. Is that bad?”
“No, not saying it’s bad. Just surprised. They really love and support you so I thought you would’ve already come out.”
“You think they wouldn’t have a problem with me being with a man?”
“No, I don’t. I really don’t think they would care that much. Maybe they’ll be shocked since, well, all of us thought you were straight.”
Jungkook sighed. “We’ll see. I’ll try to do it soon.”
“Hey, you don’t have to rush. Just take your time. Hell, drop hints over time if you want to. See how they react.”
“I’ll try to do that, then. It’s just nervewracking.”
“Trust me, I know. I’ll always be here if you need help with anything, not just coming out either,” Yoongi stated, holding his arms out motioning for a hug. Jungkook was taken off guard by the gesture since the older rarely ever hugged anyone like… ever . Then again, this was a tender moment, one where Yoongi wanted to show his support to his youngest brother. He hugged him back, them both laughing from happiness and love.
----------------------------------------
It was now dusk, the sun barely visible through the thick clouds as the snow fell harder than the previous night. Jungkook and Seonghwa had stayed out longer with BTS and San than anticipated, having ended up shopping at many stores and going to dinner on a whim at the request of Namjoon. That didn’t matter, however, since it was such a wonderful time. Even though it took some time, Seonghwa and San had gotten comfortable with everyone and became much more open than Jungkook could’ve anticipated. No doubt he was appreciative of it; now all of his beloved bandmates knew exactly why he loved his boyfriend so much. Now, they were driving back to Jungkook’s home (after Seonghwa had begged to stay one more night), talking about everything that happened.
“Yoongi-hyung is so much warmer than I anticipated,” Seonghwa began, “He always seemed cold on the outside, but he was probably the nicest one out of all of them!... Not saying the others weren’t, though.”
“I know you weren’t implying the rest of them sucked,” Jungkook replied.
“Well, if I was, I would be lying. Jimin-hyung bought me all those new clothes and Jin-hyung bought me a new LEGO set. He said that I wouldn’t stop staring at the set I ended up getting, so he offered to get it for me. Kind of like what you did for me on our first date.”
The older smiled as he recalled memories from that date, making him laugh. “I guess we really are brothers.”
“I can see how. You guys all really are similar at the end of the day despite being so different from one another. I know that’s contradictory, but I hope you get what I mean.”
“I do, I do. I’m glad you like them and that they treated you well.”
“I am, too. I was scared they would see me as a nobody and just some random idol who was dating one of their best friends.”
“Why would they think that about you? You definitely aren’t a ‘nobody,’ babe.”
“Compared to the fame you guys hold? Absolutely I could be seen as that way.”
“And yet they don’t see you as some random idol. Don’t underestimate your fame because we used to do the same when we couldn’t even process our rising popularity. We’re all idols, we come from two groups that were from small companies in the beginning, and we had to fight our way to be seen. I didn’t see you that way the first time I saw you. I saw you as Park Seonghwa: an incredibly talented artist from a group called ‘ATEEZ’ and that’s how they have always seen you,” Jungkook paused as he rested his free hand onto Seonghwa’s, holding it tight, “We were mocked and bullied by our seniors back in the day and it really fucked us up. We didn’t feel like we were good enough since we were being told we would amount to nothing, and yet here we are: the exact opposite of ‘nothing’, wouldn’t you say?”
“Yes, of course,” Seonghwa replied, now looking directly at him while the older kept his eyes on the road.
“It took us a while to get to where we’re at now and now you guys are going through something very similar. I don’t know if you got bullied or not, but just know that none of us would ever see any idol in such a horrible way because we know what it’s like to receive such hatred. Besides, who knows where you guys will be in the next two, five, or ten years? It would be very embarrassing if we got that narcissistic then got proven wrong.”
“And the seniors who bullied you may have faded away from the public eye for all I know,” the younger chuckled, “Will you even ever tell me who hurt you in those days?”
“Maybe one day, but it’s not that important to know. I’ve already forgiven them within my heart or else that pain would’ve killed me long ago.”
“You’re better than me. I probably would’ve held a grudge for the rest of my life.”
“I doubt it. You have a kind soul and are willing to forgive most people.”
“‘Most.’ So you’re saying there're people that shouldn’t be forgiven?”
“I think so. You know, the worst of the worst of society: rapists, pedophiles, and so on.”
“Can’t disagree with that.”
They soon made it home, Jungkook carrying the bags filled with everything they bought after convincing Seonghwa that he should head on inside quickly. The snowfall was starting to pick up and he wanted the younger to be in the house where it was warm and cozy as soon as possible. He wasn’t outside for long, though, as they hadn’t bought as much despite the amount of time they spent at the mall. They were window shopping more than they were actually buying things, using it as an excuse to spend as much time with one another. Even when there were more people there, they didn’t really care because no one actually tried to go up to any of them. Sure, they were waved at and fans got excited from afar, but that was it. The universe was gracious today, that was for certain.
Jungkook set down the bags near the door, making sure to be extra careful with the LEGO set. Seonghwa was already petting Bam who wasn’t as loud as he usually was when they arrived home, probably because he was too engrossed in getting pampered by his other dad. Before he could get lost in the domestic scene, his phone buzzed. He pulled it out and was met with a text from Mingyu that read: “Didn’t know you two were going public ;)” and was followed by an image taken by a fan of him and Seonghwa hugging. Out of curiosity, he searched both of their names and sure enough, there were articles claiming that there was a “friendship” between the two of them and that an ATEEZ and BTS collaboration might be in the works.
“What’s wrong, honey?” Seonghwa asked as he stood up and walked towards him.
“Oh, nothing. Mingyu-yah just sent me a pic a fan took of us, so I decided to look up articles and sure enough–”
His eyes went wide. “Are we getting dating rumors?!”
“No, no! They think we’re friends, see?” the older replied, showing him his phone.
“Oh, thank God .”
“It’s okay,” Jungkook began, wrapping an arm around the younger’s waist, pulling him closer, “If that ever happened, I’d make sure to keep you safe from crazy fans. Look at the comments: they’re mostly positive from the looks of it.”
Seonghwa skimmed the comments, sighing with relief. “I’m not gonna lie, my life flashed before my eyes.”
“Oh honey, I promise the fans don’t hate you. They aren’t fans if they do and you know that. We should probably get washed up, though.”
“I would like to shower with you, but…”
“But?”
“I wanna get cleaned up for you ,” the younger replied, resting his hands onto Jungkook’s chest.
“Oh?”
“Mhm. I saw how you looked at me the entire day.”
“I can’t help it when you’re always so hot no matter what you do. When you’re cleaning, dancing, shoving your fingers down your throat on stage–”
He slapped his chest as he yelped at the mention of his little stunt from a while back during a concert, his cheeks turning red. “Hyung! You’re such a tease!”
“And you aren’t?”
“You’re insufferable, but lucky for you, I love you. Now let go of me so I can wash up.”
“Of course, my prince.”
Seonghwa rolled his eyes before kissing Jungkook on the lips. It was only a tiny peck, but it was enough to make Jungkook melt. The younger pulled away to go clean himself up and… prepare himself, which only excited Jungkook more. Of course he didn’t want to wait too long to be able to worship Seonghwa and to pleasure him, so he decided to shower himself in the guest bathroom. It didn’t take him long to clean up, either, allowing him more time to change into more comfortable clothes (and to get a bottle of lube just in case). As he waited for his boyfriend in anticipation, almost unable to sit, resulting in him twindling his thumbs.
About ten minutes later, Seonghwa strutted into the living room wearing – as expected – Jungkook’s clothes. He also wore a robe, wrapping it around himself tightly as he sat gracefully down next to Jungkook. The latter gulped at the sight of his beauty, completely and utterly smitten. “Holy shit,” he whispered, not even realizing what he had said.
“You always act shocked by my presence.”
“I can’t help it, baby. You’re just so beautiful and perfect. You always amaze me.”
“Then show me how much you love me.”
With that statement, the older’s thoughts from earlier that day flooded his mind until he had a lightbulb moment. “Oh, I can definitely do that,” he said with a big smile on his face. He slid from the couch onto the floor, pushing Seonghwa’s legs out to kneel in front of him.
“O-Oh wow, I– are you sure? You’ve never sucked me off before.”
And he hadn’t: he was nervous to ever try it before out of fear of not only being bad at it, but also possibly hurting the younger by accident. But for whatever reason, right now, he wanted to try it. Better sooner than later. “It’s okay, I want to. I probably won’t be as good as you, but you always do it for me so I want to return the favor.”
“You know you don’t have to…”
“But I want to.”
“ Fuck , okay. I’ll help guide you so you don’t choke yourself.”
Jungkook snorted. “I’ll try not to. I promise I won’t puke all over you.”
“Wow. Thanks.” He then motioned for Seonghwa to lift up his hips, allowing for him to take off his pants and boxers as the younger threw off the robe, but opting to keep his shirt on. Seonghwa was already half hard from the sexual tension, but Jungkook was keen on getting him all the way there with a few strokes. The younger moaned quietly as his cock began to leak precum as his erection grew. “Ah… fuck .”
Despite the encouragement, Jungkook was becoming more nervous since it wouldn’t be long before he would have to properly start. He also had the worst poker face in existence because his boyfriend could tell something was wrong, petting his hair to ease him. “Am I that obvious?”
“Yeah, kinda. Your eyes go wide when you’re scared.”
“Oh, right,” he replied, his face turning red.
“It’s okay. I swear it’s not that hard. You just… suck like you would with a lollipop or a popsicle.”
“Is that really the best way to describe it?” Jungkook laughed.
“Oh, hush! Just don’t bite or I’ll scream. Don’t deep throat, either, if that wasn’t obvious– I mean, assuming you have a gag reflex.”
“I definitely have one.”
“Then don’t worry about doing anything like that. It might be hot to deep throat, but if you're choking and puking because of it, it’s no longer fun. You’ll get better at it over time, but for now, just take it easy. I promise I’ll enjoy it no matter what.”
“Do you also promise you’ll make me stop if I hurt you?”
“Always.”
With that, Jungkook pushed the hair out of his face with his free hand and officially began. He only wrapped his lips around the tip first while continuing to stroke him, testing out the waters before taking in any more of him. He carefully watched how Seonghwa reacted and, surprisingly (only to Jungkook), he looked like he was enjoying it. His eyes were half open, his mouth slightly agape as moans poured from him. He suddenly smiled at him, confusing the older, making him pull off of him, but continuing his stroking. “What’s funny? Am I doing something wrong? Am I embarrassing myself?”
“No, it’s just the way you’re staring at me is cute,” Seonghwa giggled, “Just get into it, hyung. I promise you I’m enjoying it… really enjoying it.” He bit his lip as his cock twitched in the older’s hand.
Jungkook hummed as he went back to sucking him, this time going down a bit further. He slowly bobbed his head up and down, matching the pace of his stroking. Seonghwa’s moans got noticeably more loud and high pitched, but he was certainly nowhere near his climax. The older planned to change that, taking as much of him as he possibly could without choking. Surprisingly, he was able to take a little more than half of him to which he gave himself a mental pat on the back for. The younger was feeling it, too, having thrown his head back and closed his eyes completely. He gripped the couch with his hands, his moans becoming more frequent and high pitched.
“Holy… keep going!”
Jungkook quickened his stroking to make up for his lack of skill of… sucking. As much as he wanted to go further down onto Seonghwa, he knew he couldn’t unless he wished to gag and possibly get sick. Of course, that didn’t matter to his boyfriend who was more than enjoying himself as moans poured from his mouth, a sweet melody to Jungkook’s ears that went straight to his own cock. He reached into his pants, pulling it out to stroke himself. He went as fast as he could and, surprisingly, he was close to his own climax (which was a bit pathetic of him in his mind).
“ F-Fuck … I think I-I’m gonna…”
Jungkook pulled off of him once more. “G-Go ahead. I’ll swallow.”
“ Shit , hyung!” Jungkook went back to sucking him until he came, a long, drawnout grown dragging out of him. Seonghwa accidentally thrusted in Jungkook’s throat, his cum shooting into his mouth, making tears stream down the older’s face. He pulled off of him, coughing and wiping his face as he quietly moaned and came into his own hand. The younger’s brows furrowed, guilt covering his face. “I’m so sorry, Kookie! I didn’t mean to.”
“It’s okay,” Jungkook giggled, “I enjoyed it.”
“I still made you gag.”
“I promise you I’m okay,” he replied, standing up to go wash his hands, “Don’t worry about me. If I really was hurt, I think you would know.”
“I don’t want to be too sure. Sometimes you hide your pain.”
“And you always know when I’m a good-for-nothing liar,” he replied, turning on the sink and lathered up the soap in his hands, “Now, do you want to do anything else?”
“I don’t know if I can be fucked right now. I’m not gonna lie, I’m tired and I think one orgasm is all I can muster,” Seonghwa said, sliding his underwear and pants back on.
“Then we should rest.”
“But I don’t want to leave you hanging!”
“Honey, I masturbated when I was sucking you off. I promise you I’m good.” He turned the sink off after finishing cleaning himself, wiping his hands onto the towel before he headed back to the couch.
“Oh. I didn’t notice.”
“Then I guess that’s a sign that you enjoyed yourself?”
“Yeah, I really did enjoy it.”
“Good,” he sat back down, kissing Seonghwa on the cheek, “Do you want to watch some T.V. before we go to bed?”
“Yeah, that’s fine– oh, wait! I almost forgot!” Seonghwa yelped as he hurriedly stood up and headed to the shopping bags. He sifted through one of them as Jungkook watched him in confusion. Suddenly, he stood up with two tiny boxes in his hands. “I got Labubus for us to open,” he smiled.
“I– I’m sorry, what?”
“Labubus! You know what those are, right?”
“Well, yeah, a few of my hyungs have them… but I’m just kinda shocked your mind suddenly went to them after I just sucked your dick.”
Seonghwa rolled his eyes. “Think of it as a ‘thank you’ for being a great boyfriend.”
“I’m surprised you even like them.”
“They’re so cute, though! To me, at least.” He sat back down on the couch, handing Jungkook one of the boxes. “A few of my bandmates have them and I’ve been wanting one myself for a while. When I was with Hoseok-hyung while you went off with Jimin-hyung and Taehyung-hyung, I talked about how I’ve been wanting one but never got around to buying one. Luckily, he spotted them in a store so I got one for myself, but then I thought about you and how we could both have one so I got two.”
“Did Hobi-hyung buy them for you?”
“He insisted, but I said ‘no’ since I wanted it to be a present for you from me.”
Jungkook chuckled. “You’re so weird and thoughtful, it’s cute.”
“As if you aren’t weird yourself,” he teased back.
“That’s just the ADHD.”
“Not everything about you is because of your ADHD. Part of it is just your personality. Now, focus.”
“That’s an ironic demand.”
“Oh, hush!”
Jungkook laughed before turning his attention to the box, studying it for a brief moment. He wasn’t particularly that interested in Labubus himself, but seeing how Seonghwa was excited to open them did reflect on him, making him interested to see which ones they both would pull. No matter how stupid or silly he may see something, if Seonghwa liked that something, his preconceived feelings quickly changed and what was occurring now was no exception. Him being happy was all that ever mattered; who was Jungkook or anyone to say that the younger couldn’t enjoy what he wanted? At least the ones that his boyfriend had picked out seemed very colorful compared to some of the other ones he had seen; he was pretty sure Taehyung owned some from this particular line, too.
“Open it, hyung!” And he did, both of them doing it at the same time. They both pulled out the bags in the box and on the count of three, they pulled out the Labubus from the bags. Seonghwa pulled out a pink and yellow one while Jungkook pulled a red one. “Aw!” Seonghwa began, “We got Love and Loyalty!”
“Which one is which?”
“Yours is Love and mine is Loyalty.”
“You know, considering their meanings and how everyone knows we know each other, these are probably going to cause some insane dating rumors.”
“Don’t scare me! Besides, idols get into some insane rumors all the time over stupid stuff. If we get into rumors, it’ll be no different… I hope.”
“Don’t worry, love, I’m only joking. Even if everyone collectively connected the dots and the media tried exposing shit, I’m sure the fans would find it funny and just something stupid.”
“Maybe. You better pray that’ll be the case.”
“It will and, hypothetically, if it isn’t, then I’ll do everything in my power to protect you from any and all hate thrown your way,” Jungkook seriously stated, yet before the tone of the moment could shift, he made both of their Labubus kiss. Seonghwa laughed at the gesture, making Jungkook giggle as well. Even if the older made sure the lightheartedness of the moment remained, his words still rang true and he knew Seonghwa knew it. He would never let anything happen to his beloved boyfriend and would do everything in his power to protect him from any and all harm.
Seonghwa suddenly yawned, making Jungkook snap out of his trance. “I think it’s about time we go to bed. I know I said I wanted to watch T.V., but–”
“It’s okay, love. You had a busy day.”
“ We had a busy day. You should come to bed, too.”
“I won’t disagree with that,” Jungkook replied, standing up and taking Seonghwa’s hand into his. The younger joined him in walking to the bedroom, kissing him on the cheek, making him smile.
They made it to the room, Seonghwa quickly climbing onto the bed with Bam (who was already curled up in a ball at the end of the bed). Jungkook reached for his Labubu, but the younger shook his head. “I wanna hold it to sleep.”
“You sure?”
“Mhm. I’ll probably do the same when I’m at home without you since, well, it does remind me of you.”
“How so? Are you saying I have an ugly face?” he joked.
“Of course not! You’re very handsome, actually. Even if you were ugly, I’d still love you because you're loyal … like the Labubu implies– yeah it’s corny, I know.”
“It’s okay, love, I understand,” he chuckled. He set his own Labubu onto the nightstand since he would much prefer to hold his boyfriend to sleep, which is exactly what he did. He climbed into the bed, pulling Seonghwa close before kissing him on his forehead. “Now sleep. I love you.”
“I love you more.”
“I love you the most.”
