Taereung - Korean National Training Center
********************
"Hyung?"
"Hmm?"
"You won't forget me after going to Taereung, right?"
"Nonsense. There's no way that's gonna happen," Taehyung said and pressed a kiss to Jeongguk's cheek.
The two of them were on the rooftop of their school again. Jeongguk was bunking Dae Shin sir's class, but for once, he wasn't scared of the consequences. He was ready to face them. They were worth it. It was his last day with Taehyung before the latter left for Taereung for further training, after all.
Taehyung tightened his grip around Jeongguk, who was laying with his back against Taehyung's chest while Taehyung was half-sitting with his back against the bench-of-sorts in their regular place. Jeongguk had interlinked their hands and the two pairs of hands were now secured around his waist.
He opened the right interlinked hands and it showed Taehyung's palm inside his own. He brought it up and kissed the open palm. "I'll miss you," he said. "I'll miss you so bad, you have no idea."
Taehyung fought to keep his tears at bay. This was a happy moment in his life - going to Taereung. He wasn't supposed to cry.
But somehow, he couldn't stop himself. "I'm going to miss you too," he choked out and tightened his grip around Jeongguk more, burying his face between Jeongguk's neck and shoulder from behind.
"Call me every night, okay? I'll text you every morning," Jeongguk said.
"Yeah, I will. Don't fall for someone else in the meantime."
Taehyung regretted the words the second they left his mouth. Because he knew just how violent Jeongguk could get as well. He couldn't do anything other than blame Jeongyeon for making her best friend just as violent as she was.
He rubbed the sour pinched skin on his hand with a pout. "I was just saying," he pouted harder.
"Shut up," Jeongguk snapped at him. "I should be the one to say that to you!!" he exclaimed angrily. "Don't you dare look at someone else when you are at Taereung, okay? I'll fucking kill you if you do."
"How can I?!" Taehyung gasped dramatically. "How can I when I have a certain human-looking bunny in my heart already?!"
He earned a jab in his ribs for that, but chuckled and sat up a little straighter, "You know what? People might think I'm a pervert for falling in love with a rabbit. How do I convince them that you are not just human-looking but that you are actually a human?"
Another jab.
This time a painful one.
"Do you want to die?"
Taehyung laughed at that. "Just kidding!! JK, JK!! Oh!! Get that? JK, chill, I'm JK!!" he laughed harder, vibrating Jeongguk with his own trembling body.
Jeongguk sat up and turned around to give Taehyung a semi-disgusted expression. "Either you are spending too much time with Jinnie hyung behind my back, or Namjoonie hyung picked up a little too much from Jinnie hyung and now you are picking it up from him," he said.
"Okay, scientist. Whatever you say. That was funny, you have to accept!!"
Jeongguk just rolled his eyes and got back to his position without giving Taehyung a reply. After a little while of silence, he sat up and turned around to face Taehyung again, looking slightly desperate. His expression made Taehyung sit up as well.
