fallen angel [taekook]

39 ✞ bath

Jungkook's eyes fluttered open slowly, almost closing back as his body comfortably laid down in a soft mattress.

After a few blinks his eyes and body adjusted to being awake and he slowly sat up on the bed. He recognized the dark room and the wide bed. Just like the rest of the castle, everything was dimly lit almost dark, but he could make out the wide bedroom he was in- Taehyung's.

He felt slightly dizzy and immensely tired. His body pleaded to remain laid down. For a moment, his memory fought hard to remember what had happened.

And then it came back clear into his mind,

The mirror, Taehyung's father, him acting unconsciously.

Taehyung's father had taken over his senses and almost,

Almost, made him curse himself into the mirror unconsciously.

Goosebumps ran all over Jungkook's body making him let out an unexplainably shaky breath. He remembered feeling a strong force pull him backwards, and after everything went black.

As it seemed, someone had saved him. Just in time.

"How are you feeling?" a deep voice spoke out of nowhere. Jungkook jumped a little and turned to its direction. Taehyung was sitting beside the bed in a corner, looking at Jungkook. His face whatsoever neutral.

"I-" Jungkook's voice came out dry, he cleared his throat and licked his lips, "I'm alright," he said lowly. His body was feeling weak, despite the multiple hours of sleep he had just woken up from.

"What happened to me?" he asked looking at Taehyung.

"He gained control of your mind and almost made you go into the curse-" Taehyung gulped, "but I came in time and you passed out shortly after."

Jungkook gave him an acknowledged nod and remained quiet as he couldn't find what to say.

"It seems like your mind was easy for him to get into, which means you weren't strong enough resulting in you passing out as soon as that connection to your mind was broken." added Taehyung. Jungkook looked down at his arms.

He felt pitiful of himself for not being able to resist demon powers used against him. It meant he was weak, and had much to discover about his own powers. He probably was a powerful angel and he just didn't know.

But it didn't matter much now.

"What..what happened with your ..father?" Jungkook asked lowly. He couldn't help but wonder what exactly happened after he passed out. If Taehyung's father was still in the mirror or perhaps, for some unknown bad reason, managed to free himself from the curse either way and was now roaming around the castle.

A small pleased evil smile curled onto Taehyung's lips as he spoke, "Oh that man? He's gone."

Jungkook stared at him. "Gone in what sense?"

"I broke the mirror's glass. By doing this I sealed the magical 'door' , to put it this way, that was between this reality and the one inside of it. So in other words, he's stuck there forever with no way out." said Taehyung in the most unbothered tone.

Though, he didn't mention the confession his father had made. About him being the one who actually murdered his mother and made it seem like an angel attack.

Taehyung didn't want to think about it. It disgusted him. The picture of his father disgusted him. In so many ways. And as cold as it sounds, he didn't want anything to do with anyone from his family anymore. He was over all of it. He didn't want any of it no more.

He loved his mother immensely, but he was glad that they were all gone now. That he was finally alone, in peace. It was better that way.

"Oh," Jungkook said blankly. He wasn't sure of what was the right thing to say in this situation. He didn't want to say 'I'm sorry' because he knew damn well that Taehyung didn't feel sorry over his father.

They stood there in the room silently for a few seconds.

"Well, thank you for saving me, Taehyung." Jungkook let out, out of nowhere. The thought that he could have been locked in another dimension basically, made him so uncomfortable. It was unsettling to think about. "If it weren't for you I would be- oh gosh-" he felt himself unable to express himself any further as panicked slowly ate his words.

Taehyung stood up and walked up to him, taking his gentle pale arms into his own. "Shh, it's okay. Forget about it." whispered Taehyung calmly, his thumbs gently circling Jungkook's hand to calm him down.
Jungkook immediately felt a sense of comfort.

"Come let's prepare you a bath, you look tired." said Taehyung grabbing Jungkook's hand to lead him. Jungkook nodded and stood up from the bed, following him.

They both walked into Taehyung's dark bathroom. It was spacious and there were various candles around, setting a dark yet relaxing atmosphere.

Taehyung let go of Jungkook's hand and walked towards the tub, filling it up with warm water. Next to the tub were a set of soaps, shampoos, bubble foaming soaps, and bath crystals. He added bubble foaming soap into the water along with bath crystals. Soon the water started filling up with dark-red colored foam.

Jungkook smiled as he watched him. He couldn't help but observe how adorable Kim Taehyung looked setting up a bubble bath.

Taehyung turned around towards Jungkook, "Ready, you can step in now." he said his face expression calm. "I'll bring you some towels when you're done." He said as he walked past Jungkook, ready to leave the room. But before he could step out, he felt a hand hold him back.

He turned around to see Jungkook holding him back from leaving.

"Taehyung, bath with me," asked Jungkook gently. His eyes soft and innocence-filled, like a puppy's. Hard to say no to.

"Please,"

Taehyung stared at him, unsure if to agree or not. Jungkook stood there holding him, waiting for his answer.

Taehyung gulped and responded a bit nervously, "O-Okay." Jungkook smiled as he noticed Taehyung's cheek turned a light shade of pink. This had made Taehyung uncomfortable, in the good way.

Taehyung closed the door behind them and Jungkook finally let go of his hand. He glanced at the inviting running bath and took off his clothes, stepping in.

Taehyung looked away from the exposed boy biting his lip, rethinking if it was a good idea to stay and bathe with him.

Jungkook sat down in the spacious tub, allowing the warm water to relax his muscles. It felt nice.

He glanced at Taehyung who was looking another direction, still clothed.

"Aren't you coming in?" Jungkook asked sweetly. Taehyung looked at him without saying a word. After what seemed to be a minute of silence Taehyung began unclothing.

Jungkook's eyes never left the stripping dom. He watched as Taehyung took off his top, revealing his toned abdomen, his hand muscles flexing making Jungkook feel some sort of way.

Jungkook remained watching all the way until Taehyung finally stepped into the bath, joining Jungkook.

He sat down opposite from Jungkook, in a way that they were facing each other. They sat there looking into each other's eyes, the dark-red foamy water covering their exposed bodies completely.
