Chapter One

Next Level~

Seven years of secret love… and tonight something shifts inside this penthouse bedroom...and in Tae's mind.

Taehyung is twenty-four now. Kim Taehyung, the soft boy from a middle class life… the one who grew up with simple dreams and gentle hopes.

And Jeon Jungkook is twenty-nine now. The nation’s icon. The man who built success with his own hands. The man the whole country watches like a star.

No one knows they are boyfriends. No one knows that this penthouse is actually their home. No one knows how quietly, secretly, lovingly… they have been in a relationship for seven whole years.

Only they know.

Only these walls know.

Only these two hearts know.

And tonight Taehyung decides… he wants one more step. Not because he is impatient. But because his heart is ready.

Taehyung stands in front of the huge full-length mirror near the master bed. He tugs his hair shyly to one side, adjusting his small red pajama shirt.

He opens the first two buttons, just enough to show a bit of his collarbone. Nothing vulgar... Nothing dirty. Just a hint of his beauty.

He glances down at his reflection. His pajama's shorts are mid thigh. His legs look slim, smooth and innocent.

He blushes at his own reflection. He whispers to himself softly, lips curling into a tiny smirk: “Now let’s see how you resist me tonight, gentleman, Jeon Jungkook.”

He giggles under his breath. He feels a little evil and cute at the same time. Because Taehyung is shy by nature.

He talks softly.

He lives softly.

But tonight… tonight he wants to be the one to make the moment happen. Because he knows Jungkook won’t start. Jungkook always holds back. Jungkook always protects him too much.

He wants love too.

Seven years is enough.

Not dirty love. Not rushed love.

Just deeper love.

He places a hand over his own chest and breathes.

His heart is racing. He is soo nervous. But excited. He wants to take their relationship to the next level slowly, beautifully, gently.

The bathroom door opens.

Taehyung freezes.

Jungkook steps out.

His hair is still damp from shower. He is wearing his simple black night shirt and grey sweatpants. He is bulkier now… stronger now… intimidating in the whole world… but here in this room he is just Jungkook.

...Jeon Jungkook......

He stops in his tracks.

And he stares.

At Taehyung.

Silence.

Jungkook’s throat goes dry. His lips part a little. His eyes soften instantly. A tiny breath leaves him like a whisper: “baby…???”

The way Jungkook says “baby” every time… like Taehyung is something holy, precious, and only his...

A treasure.

Taehyung lifts his gaze, shy smile coming slowly, and he walks towards Jungkook step by step. He even tugs his hair again nervously.

...Jeon Taehyung......

Jungkook’s heart is beating too loud.

Taehyung’s voice is gentle when he speaks: “We are dating for seven years… don’t you think… we should take our relationship to the next level too, Koo?”

His tone is innocent. His eyes are big and hopeful. His hands slowly rest on Jungkook’s solid chest.

Jungkook gulps.

Even after a cold shower… he feels heat spreading inside him. Nervousness…desire…fear… everything.

“But… Sudde...” Jungkook tries to speak.

Taehyung immediately places a finger on Jungkook’s lips. “No but…”

Jungkook blinks, but his lips automatically lean forward like he wants to kiss Taehyung’s finger.

Taehyung giggles. His cheeks blush. Then he whispers softly but bravely: “I want you, daddy.”

Jungkook’s breath catches. Everything inside him tightens... not in lust... in emotion... This innocent boy, this pure hearted love of his... is trusting him with something so big.

And Taehyung continues, voice trembling: “Seven years, Jeon Jungkook… it’s not sudden... I want to be closer to you.”

His voice turns softer, emotional, and shaky. “Don’t you want me too?”

Jungkook feels a shock of pain and love combined. He immediately pulls Taehyung into a hug... tight... close, protective.

“Of course I want you. I only want you,” Jungkook whispers against Taehyung’s soft hair. “Only you. Always you my baby.”

He closes his eyes. “I’m just afraid to ruin you.”

Taehyung gasps softly and steps back, eyes wide.

“Stupid bunny…” he whispers. “You will never ruin me. I trust you. Will you trust me too, daddy?”

"Of course my love, more than myself…" Jungkook mumbled affectionately with determine.

Taehyung smile shyly.

Jungkook looks at him... top to bottom... slowly. His eyes soften... He lifts one eyebrow slightly...

“Who taught you to call me daddy and seduce me like that wearing clothes.” he asks in a low voice, gently.

His hands slide to Taehyung’s waist... over his clothes... only a feather touch, so slow circles. Taehyung lets out a tiny breath, almost a soft sound.

“I searched… how to seduce your boyfriend… who is too much of a gentleman,” Taehyung whispers with a shy giggle, palming his face with one hand.

Jungkook chuckles too... a soft, deep sound... and he nuzzles Taehyung’s apple cheek with his nose...

“You don’t need to seduce me, Jeon Taehyung,” he murmurs, voice husky. “Your existence is enough to seduce me. Only I know how much I control myself every day.”

(He calls him Jeon Taehyung affectionately not Kim)

Taehyung’s breathing becomes faster. His long eyelashes flutter. “Then don’t control yourself…” Taehyung mumbles, lips parted slightly. “I’m all yours, daddy. Please… let’s go further... Please make love to me.”

Jungkook looks deeply into Taehyung’s doe eyes.

Emotion.

Fear.

Love.

He cups Taehyung’s face gently.

“We will,” he whispers. “But slow. Beautiful. Not rushed. Not just because of one night. I want our first time to be perfect. Not emotional panic.”

(both are virgin)

Taehyung’s heart melts.

Jungkook leans forward and kisses Taehyung’s forehead... very slow... very gentle... very full of love.

Taehyung closes his eyes.

Jungkook whispers near his ear: “Tonight we sleep together… close… like always... But this time… I will hold you without fear.”

Taehyung nods.

That alone already feels so intimate.

More special than anything.

"We will kiss too, daddy." Taehyung whined shyly. (They didn't kiss lip to lip... in these seven years).

Jungkook smiles softly and his voice drops lower. “As you say… my princess.”

He bends down and picks Taehyung up gently in his arms... he gasps softly and wraps his arms around Jungkook’s shoulders.

Jungkook smiled at him. Taehyung rests his head on his chest, listening to the loud love heartbeat...

Jungkook carries him to the bed... slowly... so carefully... like he is holding the most precious thing his heart ever possessed.

He places Taehyung on the soft sheets and then lies beside him.

He pulls Taehyung into his chest... strong arms around his slim waist, their foreheads touching.

Jungkook whispers: “Tomorrow… we talk about everything. Without fear.”

Taehyung smiles, eyes sleepy. “Okay daddy.” Jungkook kisses his forehead again softly.

They close their eyes.

Seven years of innocent love.

Tonight… they take the very first step...

(Think to take... 😅🤭)
