In Between || Taejinkook

Ten

Taehyung couldn't believe his own eyes when early in the morning he entered his own bedroom to fetch his suit and briefcase stealthily. He had to blink for a couple of times to understand that he wasn't looking at a mirage.

The way his son snuggled to the Omega with lips slightly parted, breathing in comfort while only god knew what he was dreaming of in his innocent, childish world was just laid there to amaze him to no actual end.

Seokjin, on the other hand, was sleeping in ease with one arm over his forehead as though the body of a ten-year-old kid wasn't glued to his side. The blanket of Hyun-su's body was the heat that brought him into peace, the body of a stranger.

For some moment, the Alpha felt like he didn't belong to the place he used to call his room. He stood there for longer than he intended because the scene would get more and more surreal with every second passing by.

His eyes wouldn't move on anything else rather than the face of the Omega. He didn't realize it himself, but the crease between his brows got deeper and his lips started to quiver.

He couldn't understand the heart full of mystery; he couldn't grasp who really was the person sleeping on his bed with calmness gathered from every corner of heaven. One thing he was sure of, though, was that he just got more captivated by the Omega.

************************************

Wandering around the mansion for the first time, Jin was tired of discovering nonstop. The place would just surprise him with keeping all these different rooms and areas within itself.

It seemed like Taehyung went to work early because he even left his son. Hyun-su was driven to school alone.

The boy left some courage in him, and he was somehow sure nobody besides some servants was in the mansion. That was maybe the main reason as to why he was taking a tour inside the huge place without being guided, or even asking for one in the first place.

He even peeked inside some of the personal rooms, blaming his curious mind for it.

The Omega couldn't help but smile when he opened the door of Hyun-su's room, finding out instantly it was the boy's little home thanks to his amazing collection of toy cars and basketball posters all over the walls.

Backing away, he started his journey to search around. One room managed to make him step and give more than just a glance to it as it was designed beautifully. It was crystal clear that the mind behind every little detail in this room was no ordinary one to begin with.

Yet, his proud smile didn't last long. He practically fled from there when he realized he actually set foot in Jungkook's room.

He thanked god, whomever was in charge of his luck because the sound of water running faintly, indicating the Alpha was taking a shower, punched him with the fact that he shouldn't invade anyone's personal space like that.

Jin clutched his heart as it was pounding mercilessly against his chest, almost ripping the cage apart. He was panting as if he walked down a high cliff. He was literally frightened to that extreme.

Standing without moving a muscle, not sure if he was even blinking, took enough for him to be back to a normal condition. At last, he decided to drag his body to the living room. Letting out a weary sigh, he exactly did that.

Just some moments ago, he promised himself he wouldn't enter any other room without permission, but this new one in a hidden corner of the living room... it was too different even from outside; it was too good to be worth breaking that promise once more for.

The door alone managed to make him gawk at it for a whole while. It was made of an old wood unlike the rest of the mansion's numerous openings, and its handle was smeared with paint messily.
