My Personal Stand-in (TaeKook)
9
After they finished eating, Jungkook continued to watch TV, while Taehyung tidied up the kitchen.
Kim Taehyung (Before Reincarnation)
*Finished cleaning kitchen*
I’ll bring out dessert and tea 😄
Jeon Jungkook
*Still watching TV*
Hmm.
*nodded*
Kim Taehyung (Before Reincarnation)
*Places the dessert and tea on the table*
You know, I don’t usually have guests over. It’s a bit strange to just sit and chat like this.
Jeon Jungkook
Really?🤨
What do you usually do then?
Kim Taehyung (Before Reincarnation)
😆 Well, let’s just say there’s usually not much time for tea and conversation.
He rarely brought anyone home, and even if he did, they would usually start having sex as soon as they entered the house, leaving no time to sit down, drink tea, and chat.😅
Although it was a pity that they couldn’t accomplish their initial goal, sitting and chatting with Jungkook on a rainy night like this felt pretty romantic, so Taehyung was in a good mood.
Taehyung started chatting with Jungkook, asking him about what he was doing currently.
Jungkook had started school at an early age. At only twenty, he had already graduated from university and had returned to Korea to work.
Though Jungkook didn’t reveal much about himself, Taehyung listened with great interest.
The two of them chatted for a long time. Taehyung was a humorous and witty person and knew what to say and what not to say.
Gradually, Jungkook became less guarded, even occasionally showing a smile that made Taehyung’s heart skip a beat.
Kim Taehyung (Before Reincarnation)
*Seeing Jungkook like that, his heart began to race. He hadn’t felt this way in a long time* 💓💓
Kim Taehyung (Before Reincarnation)
*Glanced at the clock*
Wow, it’s already past ten.
Time passed quickly, and in the blink of an eye, it was already past ten o’clock. And Taehyung felt fatigue sweep over him too. Both of them were exhausted from the day’s activities.
Jeon Jungkook
*Rubs his eyes* Hmm
Kim Taehyung (Before Reincarnation)
You must be tired from chatting with me for so long. Go take a shower, and then go to sleep.😊
Jungkook heads to the bathroom. When he returns, he’s dressed in baggy pajamas and shorts.
Kim Taehyung (Before Reincarnation)
*Turning around from watering his plants, sees Jungkook Pauses for a moment*
💭 He is looking fresh and especially alluring.
The two of them exchanged a glance. They both felt something, but remembering the awkward moment from a few hours ago, neither made any move.
Kim Taehyung (Before Reincarnation)
*Pointed to the bedroom*
I found a clean blanket. You’ll have to bear with sleeping with me tonight; my guest room hasn’t been cleaned for a while, and it’s uninhabitable.
Jeon Jungkook
*nodded, turned, and entered the bedroom*
After Taehyung finished bathing, Jungkook seemed to have already fallen asleep.
Kim Taehyung (Before Reincarnation)
*Quietly walks over, looks at Jungkook sleeping peacefully*
💭 How does he look so perfect even when he’s asleep?
Jungkook's long lashes cast a circular shadow on the curve of his eyes, and the straight line of his nose and lips made his profile look absolutely perfect. Just looking at him stirred Taehyung’s heart beyond imagination
Kim Taehyung thinks of himself as someone who doesn’t judge people by appearances. However, he has no choice but to admit that most people in the guy community are shallow. Men pay more attention to visual sexual appeal than women.
The community chooses based on who is handsome, who has a good figure, and whose 'plaything' is big. They can take off their pants and do it on their first meeting if they like each other’s looks.
Kim Taehyung (Before Reincarnation)
💭 Who has the time to study a person’s inner beauty? With looks like Jungkook’s, it’s hard for me not to be attracted to him.
Nothing had happened today, and Kim Taehyung began to feel a bit regretful.
Kim Taehyung (Before Reincarnation)
* stooped down and secretly kissed the side of Jungkook’s face*
Only after that does he climb onto the bed and lie down beside him to sleep.
After Kim Taehyung lies down
Jeon Jungkook
*softly opens his eyes. An unreadable light flickers in them*
Having just taken a long-distance flight, Jungkook is truly exhausted. By the time he wakes up, it’s already past two in the afternoon.
When he wakes, he feels dazed and for a moment has no idea where he is.
Jeon Jungkook
*Wakes up slowly, feeling dazed*
💭 Where… am I?
He looks around, trying to piece together his surroundings.
Jeon Jungkook
*Rubs his eyes*
Right... Kim Taehyung’s place.
He sits up in bed, shaking his head, trying to clear the lingering fog from his mind.
He’s in the house of someone he has only known for a day and almost had sex with. 🤭
In the past, when Jungkook had sex, he never went to the other person’s house, and bringing them into his own home was even more out of the question.
He doesn’t know what came over him yesterday; he went home with Kim Taehyung without any mental resistance. He can’t get the image of Kim Taehyung’s back while cooking for him out of his mind.
Jeon Jungkook
*Glances blankly at the empty sheets beside him, feeling something unfamiliar and strange tugging at his thoughts*
💭 What is this feeling…?
He falls into a reverie of wild thoughts, his mind wandering, until...
Kim Taehyung (Before Reincarnation)
*Walks in, raising an eyebrow*
You sure slept soundly. Fourteen hours straight.
Jeon Jungkook
*Voice still husky*
I just got off the plane... hadn’t slept for over twenty hours.
Kim Taehyung (Before Reincarnation)
😊 Well, I’ve got a new toothbrush and towel for you. Go wash up, and I’ll heat up the food.
Jeon Jungkook
*Nods, still feeling a bit dizzy from oversleeping, stumbles toward the bathroom"
In the bathroom, Jungkook sees the toothbrush and towel neatly set out for him on the sink.
Jeon Jungkook
💭 It’s like I’m living here already
He quickly washes his face, brushes his teeth, and heads back out.
Jeon Jungkook
*Smells the fragrant aroma of food wafting through the air*
💭 After all those years alone overseas, waking up to breakfast like this… it’s not so bad.
Kim Taehyung (Before Reincarnation)
*pulls out a chair*
Hurry and come eat. You must be starving.
Jeon Jungkook
*Nods and stretches*
I truly never thought I’d sleep for so long.
Kim Taehyung (Before Reincarnation)
*Sits down next to him, watching Jungkook eat*
Kim Taehyung (Before Reincarnation)
Do you need to go home today? I’ll give you a ride back
Jeon Jungkook
No need, the rain’s stopped. I can catch a taxi back
Kim Taehyung (Before Reincarnation)
No need to be polite. It’s my day off today. 😄
Jeon Jungkook
There’s no need
*emphasizing his tone*
Kim Taehyung (Before Reincarnation)
Alright, it’s usually easy to catch a taxi around here.
After Joen Jungkook finishes eating, he turns on his phone. It noisily notifies him that he’s received a large number of texts, most of which are from his sister. He feels a little annoyed. He thinks for a moment, then dials back.
Jeon Ji-won
Hello? 📱
Jungkook? What happened? Why’d you turn off your phone? 😟
Jeon Ji-won
Couldn’t you have charged it in the hotel? Which hotel are you at? If you can’t come home because of the rain, I can pick you up.📱
Jeon Jungkook
No need. The rain was too heavy yesterday. I’ll go home now📱
Jeon Ji-won
Where are you? Sis will come and pick you up.📱
Jeon Jungkook
Don’t. I’ve already called for a taxi📱
Jeon Ji-won
What’s wrong? You sound so lifeless, have you caught a cold? 😟📱
Jungkook doesn’t know what’s wrong with himself either. Right now, he feels annoyed whenever he hears his sister’s voice and really wants to hang up.
Jeon Jungkook
No, I haven’t. I’ll go back myself, you don’t need to worry📱
Jungkook hangs up the phone and lets out an almost undetectable sigh.
Kim Taehyung (Before Reincarnation)
*sitting on the sofa*
Kim Taehyung (Before Reincarnation)
😊 You’re going to go now?
Kim Taehyung (Before Reincarnation)
Leave your number, okay?
Jungkook walks over, bends down, takes the phone in Kim Taehyung’s hand, and presses in his own number.
After he finishes entering his number, he gives the phone back to Kim Taehyung.
Kim Taehyung (Before Reincarnation)
*hooks his arms around Jungkook’s neck and smiles*
Kim Taehyung (Before Reincarnation)
Can we still meet again?
Jeon Jungkook
*Narrows his eyes, his breath brushing against Taehyung’s face*
If you’re willing to let me top you.
Kim Taehyung (Before Reincarnation)
😉 That’s not a big problem, but... do you have experience? I’m a physical laborer, and I’m not allowed to be injured.
Jeon Jungkook
😏 You’ll find out if you try.
Kim Taehyung (Before Reincarnation)
*Leans in, lightly pecks Jungkook’s lips*
Why don’t you stay today?
Jeon Jungkook
*Stands up*
I need to report back home today. Maybe some other time.
Kim Taehyung (Before Reincarnation)
*Disappointment flashes in his eyes*
Let’s go, I’ll see you off downstairs.
Taehyung walks Jungkook to the taxi, more attentive than he’s ever been with any other sex-friend.
Kim Taehyung (Before Reincarnation)
*Watches as the taxi drives away, feeling reluctant as he returns home*
He fiddles with his phone, staring at Jungkook’s number, his mind already imagining their next meeting
