Work Text:
"i'm going to the restroom. i will be back quickly," jimin said, rising from his seat. taehyung, of course, said he would join him too, "wait for me jimin-ah. i'm also coming".
jimin smiled at him and extended his hand for taehyung to hold, "okay, let's go then."
the younger one stood up and grabbed jimin's hand and turned to look at hoseok who just looked done with them. as they walked towards the door they heard him say, "please just close the door properly and do whatever you want." he then turned back to their vlive and started talking about how much namjoon and jungkook had been working out, trying to distract the viewers from taehyung and jimin's usual clinginess.
when they reached the suit's bathroom they went inside and made sure to close (and lock) the door properly as their hyung reminded them, they wouldn't want to accidentally interrupt the vlive or be interrupted.
after closing the door, jimin let go of taehyung's hand and crossed his arms over his chest. he looked the taehyung dead in the eyes as he took a step closer to him and asked teasingly, "now tell me, why would you even ask to join me in the restroom?"
the younger man just bit his lip, trying to suppress a smile that was pulling at the corners of his lips. he then untangled jimin's crossed arms, which a few seconds later found its home around taehyung's neck. taehyung then placed his hands around jimin’s slim waist and pulled him even closer so that their bodies now was touching. he lowered his head as if he was going to kiss him on the lips, but instead changed his direction and pecked jimin on his left cheek, then on his right cheek. he pulled back to look at jimin's little confused but content expression and answered the question he was asked. "i actually wanted to tease you back, but i have missed you so much that i don't even have the energy to tease you. i just want to hold you close like this all the time."
the older one's lips formed a little 'o', understanding how his boyfriend felt but nevertheless shocked at the sudden confession. but he then saw the pout that had made its way on his boyfriend's lips, so he tipped on his toes and kissed the pout away. he quickly pulled back and just to be an asshole he said, "but we see each other everyday taehyung-ah."
taehyung, sighed although fondly as he was used to his boyfriend's teasing. "you know what i am talking about. the company told us to not pull a los angeles here in las vegas, aka keep your hands away from each other as much as possible." he sighed again, but this time it was an exhausted sigh both from the tiredness after the concert but also from the fact that he had to keep a certain distance to his boyfriend in front of the cameras and the audience for a while. "i understand them, i really do, but let's be honest our fans are used to us being clingy, it's more weird when we aren't. and we didn't have much time to meet up alone due to our schedule either." he paused and looked at jimin, who was carefully listening to him. "anyway, i just miss you jimin-ah."
after a few seconds of silence, jimin deeply inhaled a breath and let it out. he then looked taehyung in the eyes and smiled, although a bit sadly. because he understood what the younger had meant and it was hard, but at the end of the day they would always find each other so it was easier to hold out. however, after losing the grammy award and having a packed schedule including concerts in las vegas (although they enjoyed the concerts so much, it still felt surreal that they were able to hold concerts), it became a bit tiring to keep distance from your boyfriend, especially when you both needed each other.
"i miss you too, tae-yah," he didn't need to say more, because the younger understood all the feelings and hidden sentences behind those 5 words that left the oldest mouth. they kept staring at each other fondly without moving an inch until taehyung suddenly pulled jimin even closer.
"jimin-ah, how long have we been here?"
the older one just shook his head slightly and answered, "i don't know max two minutes. why?"
the younger then smirked and lowered his head to jimin's ear as he whispered, "they wouldn't realize if we didn't come out for a few minutes right?"
"they probably would, but hobi hyung is out there talking with them so i think we are good. can we just come up with an excuse saying we ended up discussing how instagram stories and q&a's worked?"
taehyung giggled a little, "that is a shity excuse but since it's us it's not unlikely."
"if you can come with a better then do it," jimin said jokingly offended as he tried to pull back a bit from taehyung's grib which he failed to do as the younger once again pulled him even closer. "i'm joking. but how do you want to spend these few minutes before we go back?"
jimin, aware of their short time left in the restroom, just directly went to the point. "just kiss me already, we have a limited ti-" before he even got to finish his sentence, he felt soft lips pressing against his own plump lips, but they were gone after two seconds.
"i'm glad we both ate ice cream as dessert," taehyung laughed, earning a slap on his chest from jimin. the laugh however, didn't last long as jimin quickly leaned back in and pressed his lips against the younger ones.
it started out as a soft kiss with giggles in between, knowing doing something like this during a livestream could be dangerous, but their feelings won over their logic, they had missed each other too much to keep their hands from even for half an hour more - and it felt more thrilling to do something you shouldn't do, so as long as they were careful, why not? taehyung then bit jimin's lower lip and started sucking on it, which made jimin gasp quietly. the younger one continued to suck on the older one's lower lip and to make the kiss even more deeper he slid his tongue over it. the older one didn't hold back either. his hands found his way to the younger one's hair and grabbed it. jimin added his tongue too, and the moment both of their tongues touched the kiss became more heated. without breaking the kiss, taehyung slowly pushed jimin toward the sink and when they reached it, the younger one lifted the older one to sit on the sink. they pulled apart to catch their breath.
"you look so pretty, jimin-ah" taehyung said slowly, knowing that jimin loved being complimented no matter what and when. before jimin even got the chance to answer back he got pulled into another kiss, showing how much they had missed each other. the younger one decided he wanted to kiss more parts of his boyfriend, so he slowly changed his way toward the older one's neck. without saying any words, the older one just leaned his head a bit back to make more space for the younger one to explore. taehyung started to kiss his neck slowly, but then included his tongue again which earned him a suppressed moan from his boyfriend.
"no hickeys," jimin managed to say. his hands went up to taehyung's hair once again as he pulled his head closer to his neck despite his warning about hickeys.
taehyung tried to nod in between his kisses and after a little while his lips slowly found its way back to jimin’s lips. he wanted to explore his neck a bit more, but to make sure he didn't want to leave any marks on his boyfriend's skin he decided against it.
when he found jimin's lips again, the kiss was softer, just like in the beginning. slow but tender, expressing all the love they felt for each other.
"i think," jimin mumbled in between their kisses, "we have to go back now, taehyung-ah". the kisses felt intoxicating, so when they finally pulled apart they started smiling like idiots which then turned into a small and quiet fit of laughter. after finally calming down a bit, jimin pushed taehyung a bit away from the sink so that he could get down from there. they both turned to the big mirror that was above the desk. taehyung's hair was a mess, jimin's shirt a bit wrinkled and both of their lips were plump and pink. they then turned to look at each other again, "oh my god, we look like a total mess taehyung-ah. what are we going to do?" jimin asked, while trying to straighten taehyung's hair a bit out so it didn't look like a total mess.
"let's first quickly wash our faces, okay?" taehyung said softly. they both washed their faces with hoseok's face wash soap which made their face seem more fresh and maybe, only maybe, they could blame the redness and plump lips on washing their faces with soap. they made sure to look presentable before heading towards the door. it maybe was a dumb decision to quickly make out during their vlive, but did they regret it? no, definitely not. and to be honest, they had kinda mastered looking decent after their quick make out sessions, so it actually wouldn't look that suspicious. they had their excuses, although like shit, ready and more than suspicious it was just weird that they spent almost ten minutes in their hyungs hotel restroom together. but then again, it was them. taehyung and jimin, and they had done a lot of questionable things. sure, some people would be seriously questioning why it took them so long but most armys would joke about it, saying they also did the same with their bffs. ah, a classic one.
"jimin-ah," taehyung said before they walked toward the locked door.
after hearing his name, jimin looked at the younger questioningly and answered him softly, "yes?"
taehyung held both jimin's hands and looked at him for a few seconds before blurting a "i love you" out. he then said it again, but this time kissed jimins cheeks and nose in between every word making the older smile brightly.
without losing his smile he responded "i love you too, taehyung-ah," and gave taehyung a quick but soft peck on the lips. "now shall we go? if you want we can act like we discuss how instagram stories work?"
the younger one laughed and this time, instead of mocking the instagram excuse he agreed. they opened the door and started their fake instagram discussion. "jimin-ah" taehyung said as they slowly started walking towards the couch hoseok was sitting on, their voices starting to become audible. "i'm not giving up. i will teach you how to post something on your instagram story." they reached the hoseok, and instead of sitting on the floor they both chose to sit on the couch so they would be a little further away from the camera.
"hyung, am i right? we have to teach jimin how to post stories." his tone was half serious, half teasing jimin.
hoseok looked at them both a bit confused, but still answered taehyung, "he probably knows but he is just lazy. let him be." he then continued, "is this really what y'all have been discussing for hours out there?" his tone was suspicious.
"thank you hyung, and yes that is exactly what we have been doing," jimin answered in an innocent and convincing way, making everyone but jung hoseok believe him. but as they have been roommates for years, hoseok easily figured out what they had been doing especially after looking a bit more closely at them, though he chose not to comment on it this time and changed the subject to the video edits he has been doing lately.
as they were nearing the end of their vlive, jungkook joined them. they sat around, imitating how their dads took selfies or answered the phone. when they eventually wished their goodbyes to their fans, jimin and jungkook were the first ones to get up thinking taehyung had turned off the vlive. but just a few seconds before they turned of the vlive some of the viewers think they heard a vague "move out of the way, i need to pee", and somehow it ended up sounding like both jungkook and jimin. and since jimin already had visited the restroom, most people just assumed it was jungkook who said it. indeed, taehyung and jimin were very careful.
•
after they finished their vlive and got a little "scolding" (which wasn't really like a scolding for making out during a vlive, but more like "did y'all have to make out in my room'' kind of scolding) they both went into jimin's bedroom. they laid in his bed and talked about everything and nothing at all, and when they finally bothered to look at the clock it was already around 4 am. however, that did not stop them and they kept talking and eventually jimin snapped a picture of taehyung who had just got out of the bed to demonstrate something about golfing. when taehyung got back into bed, jimin asked the younger one to teach him how to post instagram stories, which turned out to be very easy.
and that night, jimin posted his first instagram story with the picture he took of taehyung earlier. the oldest one felt like he should show off his boyfriend to everyone at 4 am even though the public, the outside world don't know they are together. because they are careful. very careful.
