Prettiest Lie - A Taekook Love Story.

18 - How Did You Know That?

The first thing Taehyung noticed right after getting down from his Jet-ski, was Jungkook and Sana talking. Even from far, it wasn't hard to see the faint blush Sana had on her face. And Taehyung didn't think it was due to the sun. 

He kept his gaze neutral, as he walked towards the duo. Thanks to his practice as an actor for years, Taehyung was able to stop the smirk forming up on his face, in response to the unintentional once-over Jungkook gave him. Taehyung knew that his full body swimsuit left very little to imagination.

"Tae oppa!" Sana waived her hand in a welcoming manner. "How was the water?"

"Little cold", Taehyung answered in a nonchalant voice as he plopped on the sunbed next to Jungkook. "You're not going?"

"Uhh.." Sana's face looked mortified. "L-later.. maybe."

"Well, you should have a go before it gets too sunny. We don't want you getting too tanned, now do we?"

'What the?!' Jungkook couldn't help the ugly feeling that was creeping up to his mind. What the hell was wrong with Taehyung? Since when did his boyfriend start to care about Sana's tan?? And why the fuck was she blushing?

Taehyung of course had no concern with Sana or her possible skin condition. He just wanted the girl away from Jungkook's sight. Even if he knew how stupid that chain of thoughts were, he couldn't help it. None of his boyfriend's time was up for sharing. 

On the other hand, this entire conversation didn't sit right with Jungkook. So, as a mature adult, Jungkook decided to handle the situation calmly. He raised his upper body and sat on the sunbed, before reaching for the hem of his t-shirt and pulling it over his head. Jungkook laid back down, totally disregarding the surprised gasp and cough let out by Sana and Taehyung, and draped the shirt over his face.

His toned abs were glistening in the golden sun rays, making a pool of heat in both Taehyung and Sana's hearts. Both looked away at the same time, although it's for two different reasons. 

Taehyung hated the way Sana's face turned into a bright red. He could almost feel the heat emitting from there. 

Sana quickly got up from her sunbed, with her gaze firmly turned away from Jungkook. "I.. uhh.. I think I'm gonna go, oppa."

She didn't wait till Taehyung replied, took Jungkook's nonchalant hum as his acknowledgement, and just quickly walked away from there. 

Taehyung on the other hand, stayed rooted to the place. It took him about half a minute of internal struggles to find his voice again. 

"Put your shirt back on."

Jungkook lifted the shirt a bit to look at the other. "Excuse me?"

"Your shirt", Taehyung's voice was turning colder with each sentence, "wear it again."

"Nope". Jungkook covered his face back. "I think I'm comfortable like this."

"Since when are you comfortable being bare chest outside?"

"Since now."

Actually, he was not. Jungkook didn't like to have people's eyes on him more than the necessity and hated this situation even more since he can't see those gazes. But he wasn't gonna back out, especially now that he has the full attention of his boyfriend on him.

Taehyung looked around to see if anyone was within hearing distance, before speaking up again. 

"Kookie, don't make me say that again."

There was a few seconds of stilled silence before Jungkook let out a sigh and sat up. He wore his shirt back and looked at Taehyung. "Happy?"

"Yes." Taehyung replied as he got up. "Only because that's what you want to do in the first place."
