road trip.

[12] "fucking unbelievable"

taehyung focus
jungkook 'coaxes' (more like threatens to break down the door and drag him out violently) him out of the bathroom, grabbing his wrist once he edges the door the slightest bit open.

"sorry, your highness but it's these or those booty shorts." he grits out, tugging a reluctant taehyung out of the tiny bathroom, his discarded suit and leather loafers sitting dejectedly on the dirty floor.
"oh and here." jungkook slaps his red cap on taehyung's head, pulling the accessory unnecessarily low to shield taehyung's face. "shoes." he says monotonously, nudging a pair of cheap flip flops on the floor with his feet.
taehyung makes a face at the distasteful black flip flops, slipping his bare feet into the shoe wear.

"we're leaving now." jungkook announces quietly, harsh hand enclosing round taehyung's wrist as if to confirm his words.
taehyung raises his head to look at his captor, shooting a glare at him. he wants to yell at him to get longer trousers, wants to kick him in the balls and run off but he doesn't, not when jungkook's eyes bore holes into his face menacingly.

"you two done?" the old man says, raising his breathy voice. taehyung looks over at the old man sitting in place behind the desk, the man wolf whistling once he catches sight of taehyung's legs.

"let's leave, please." taehyung murmurs as he turns away, face grimacing at the wolf whistle and the breathy laughter that follows soon after.

wordlessly, jungkook nods and storms towards the entrance, taehyung struggling to keep up with his kidnapper's sudden fast pace.

"please report to the police if you have seen kim taehyung in the past twelve hours. report suspicious activity-" taehyung looks up again at the mention of his name and catches eye contact with the elderly receptionist as jungkook leads him away. the man frowns at him for a second, looking back and forth between him and the tiny television. shock or realisation seems to hit the man's face; his mouth hanging open with surprise and his eyes widening double the size.

taehyung sees the man gingerly reach over for the telephone sitting on the desk in front of him, hurriedly pressing keys on the device.

did he recognise me? taehyung thinks as he's pulled away.

but he doesn't get to think thoroughly because jungkook pulls him out of stiflingly musty love nest and out into the march winds. the sun poked out of looming clouds and shone slightly, the warm yellow rays caressing taehyung's thighs and arms but the warmth didn't cover up the gusts of wind blowing against his exposed skin, thousands of goosebumps arising in the wind's wake, littering the older's tan skin.

taehyung clenches his teeth, shuddering on the spot whilst waiting for jungkook to unlock the car door. he stands there, embarrassed and cold, his cheeks glowing bright red as a few onlookers walking on the opposite road stare at him, eyes following after his legs. he attempts to somehow stretch his oversized shirt even bigger whilst rubbing his forearms to regain some heat, his limbs shaking with the nearly spring weather.

"this is so embarrassing." he mumbles under his breath, crossing his arms over his chest defiantly.

jungkook opens the passenger door and motions grandly for taehyung to step in, lifting an eyebrow and murmuring sarcastically, "your highness."

frowning at the new title, taehyung gets inside the car, glad that he wasn't displayed half naked in the eyes of the public anymore.
in the car, taehyung adjusts himself on the leather seats so the cool material wouldn't press against his already frozen legs. he looks up when jungkook slams the passenger door shut, walking swiftly around the front of the car to get to the driver's seat.

i could escape-
taehyung stops arranging his too big shirt.

no, he's gonna catch me.
he goes back to sorting out his shirt.
