๋࣭ ⭑✏ˎˊ˗Chapter 24

The evening sky darkened, and the city lights flickered to life. It was past 7:00 PM when Taehyung finally arrived at their hotel suite. He pushed open the door quietly, stepping inside with an exhausted sigh, only to be greeted by a sight that instantly made his exhaustion vanish.

Jungkook lay sprawled across the bed, sound asleep. His soft breaths were even, his chest rising and falling gently. His oversized t-shirt had ridden up slightly, revealing a sliver of his smooth waist, and his shorts had shifted higher up his legs, exposing more of his milky thighs. Taehyung's eyes darkened playfully as he stood at the edge of the bed, unable to look away. His little bunny looked so peaceful yet unintentionally tempting.

Before he could even think about controlling himself, a teasing grin spread across his lips. He unbuckled his belt, tossed it onto a chair, and climbed onto the bed. With a mischievous glint in his eyes, he leaned down and playfully nibbled Jungkook’s exposed thigh.

"Ah!" Jungkook jolted awake with a gasp, his wide eyes meeting Taehyung’s amused ones. In his sudden movement, his forehead bumped straight into Taehyung’s, causing them both to groan in pain.

Jungkook pouted, rubbing his forehead. "Hyung! What are you doing?" His lips formed the cutest pout as he blinked in confusion, still half-asleep.

Taehyung smirked. "I was hungry, so I thought I'd have a bite of my adorable bunny," he teased, winking playfully.

Jungkook’s cheeks flushed instantly as he pulled his shorts down properly, sitting up on the bed. "Stop teasing me!" he whined, crossing his arms.

Taehyung chuckled, ruffling his messy hair. "Alright, alright. Tell me, how was the audition?" He shifted to sit beside Jungkook, giving him his full attention.

Jungkook’s pout disappeared as excitement filled his eyes. "It went really well, Tae! I was nervous at first, but then I met two new friends in the audition line. Their names are Taehyun and S.Coups. We talked a bit and even exchanged numbers!"

The moment the words left Jungkook's lips, Taehyung’s relaxed expression shifted. "You exchanged numbers?" he repeated, his voice laced with curiosity and something else—jealousy.

Jungkook nodded innocently. "Yeah, we thought it'd be nice to stay in touch—"

Before he could finish, Taehyung swiftly grabbed Jungkook’s phone from the bedside table and unlocked it. Jungkook gasped. "Hyung!"

But Taehyung was already scrolling through Jungkook’s messages, his brows furrowing slightly as he checked the chat with his new friends. He even tapped on their profiles, observing their pictures with narrowed eyes.

"Hmph. Not bad… but still," Taehyung mumbled under his breath, his lips forming a small pout of his own.

Jungkook giggled, realizing exactly what was happening. "Are you jealous, TaeTae hyung?" he teased, leaning closer.

Taehyung scoffed, placing Jungkook’s phone back on the table. "Of course not! I just need to know who my bunny is talking to. What if they have bad intentions?"

Jungkook grinned. "They’re really nice, hyung. Don’t worry!"

But Taehyung wasn’t letting it go that easily. With a smirk, he suddenly pinched Jungkook’s round butt.

"Hyung!" Jungkook yelped, eyes wide as he turned to glare at Taehyung. In retaliation, he bit Taehyung’s hand lightly, making the older laugh.

"Oh? You wanna play, huh?" Taehyung grinned.

Jungkook smirked, grabbing a pillow. "Yes!"

And just like that, a playful war erupted. Pillows flew across the room, laughter echoing as they wrestled like kids, light pinches and teasing remarks exchanged in between. The once quiet and peaceful hotel room was now filled with chaos and giggles.

After what felt like forever, they both collapsed onto the bed, panting from laughter. Taehyung sighed happily and got up, stretching. "Okay, okay. I need to wash up now. Be good while I’m gone."

Jungkook rolled his eyes playfully as Taehyung disappeared into the bathroom. Soon, he returned wearing a comfy night suit—a soft t-shirt and sweatpants. He plopped onto the bed beside Jungkook with a satisfied sigh.

"I’m hungry," he suddenly announced, looking at Jungkook expectantly.

Jungkook giggled. "Then order something!"

"Fine, fine," Taehyung muttered dramatically, picking up his phone and ordering their food. When it arrived, they sat cross-legged on the bed, enjoying their late-night meal together.

After finishing, they brushed their teeth side by side, laughing as they playfully bumped into each other. Once they were back in bed, Jungkook snuggled under the covers, feeling warm and safe. Taehyung turned off the lights, shifting closer to him.

"Goodnight, my bunny," Taehyung whispered, pressing a soft kiss to Jungkook’s forehead.

Jungkook smiled sleepily, nuzzling into his pillow. "Goodnight, TaeTae hyung."

And with that, they both drifted off to sleep, hearts full and dreams sweet.
