I'm going to say thank you and sorry both at the same time. First thank you for all the love and new reads I'm getting and so sorry for the late update. My uncle has just passed away so please pray for him so he'd rest in peace 🙏

when the hum of their car's tires changes pitch on the road beneath them, the sudden shock of stillness wakes jeongguk up. 
His head feels hot at left side so he glances sideways to search for the source, he's surprised to realize where his head was laying on.
He sees, taehyung's still sleeping on his left shoulder and he remembers how he dozed off and put his own head over taehyung's. 
His cheeks flushes as he realises that they both slept like that. Taehyung's clutching his left arm too, which adds up to all the remaining points of embarrassing awkwardness and strange feelings he feels around taehyung lately.
When Jeongguk squirms and tries all the ways to snatch himself out of taehyung's grip without disturbing him out of his sleep, he feels that Almighty is definitely conspiring against him as somehow miraculously taehyung wakes up at the same time when he's desperately trying not to wake him up but here he suddenly looks up when Jeongguk looks down at once and their eyes meet. 
The moment stills then and there for jeongguk. 
Maybe it's because that Taehyung just woke up and his expressions are so raw, he looks cute with his curious big puffy almond eyes totally rivaling jeongguk's doe ones, his gaze so soft with his barriers down without the nervous wall in front of him, mouth pouty unintentionally and he blinks several times obviously oblivious as always and Jeongguk just feels drawn. 
Their staring contest lasts only for a half a minute but for jeongguk it's so many more. 
''Seoul already?'' Taehyung rasps, voice deep and still in sleepy haze, he hasn't moved his head from jeongguk's shoulder yet. 
Jeongguk peers down at him sweetly. "I-i guess so." He says and wonders it might be the one of the those few rare moments of his life in which he really had struggled to form a sentence in the past. 
Taehyung looks outside curiously through his shoulders then returns his gaze back on jeongguk's. He gave jeongguk a nervous smile. Understanding totally, jeongguk can't help himself but to put his hand on taehyung's thigh, that where his nervousness is coming from. 
Taehyung flushes immediately at the gesture and jeongguk withdraws his hand, almost recoils meanwhile taehyung removes his head from his shoulder finally and they both scoot over to their respective side windows. 
As far as they could sit from each other. Totally flustered with cheeks crimson. 
As the car starts moving again for their new apartment, taehyung slouches in his seat for the remaining of the ride with his focus entirely on the black tinted scene of Seoul outside.
Upon reaching their destination he lets out a shaky breath once he was let out of the car. The driver looked confused when taehyung didn't wait for him to open the door but taehyung doesn't even wait for jeongguk either. 
He looks up at the huge apartment complex in front of him. It was a sleek building and the windows above him look like huge mirrors just as he had imagined. It was all so elegant and fancy. 
Quickly some servants comes out to take their luggage.
"This is where we'll live now. It'd be really nice if jin had supervised the changes. He'd said that the top few floors have been arranged well for us but you can amend anything based on your taste and comfort of course." Jeongguk explains from behind as they walk, but taehyung only walks in silence, busy in swallowing everything eagerly within sight. 
Jeongguk smiles inwardly, looking at taehyung like that Satisfies him strangely. "My mother lives another complex nearby with namjoon and jin, in the penthouse where I lived until now with them. We will visit them some other time but the other two will come later on today and to make assure, there isn't really a rush." he continues thoughtfully. "We lived together in the penthouse but mom wanted us to leave. I think mom didn't want to-you know. . .privacy reasons."
Taehyung nods apprehensively. The lounge or lobby of sorts is huge as they enter, leaving many wealthy patrons and countless flashing cameras outside. 
Off to the side behind the double doors, taehyung notices a fancy dining area. He lets jeongguk lead him to where he assumes is the living area. 
On reaching there, as they walk through, the first thing taehyung notices is the pictures of, presumably jeongguk's family and some of his friends. Some were framed some were just taped up. They pass a room to get to the corner room. 
It looks like a master suite. It was well, underwhelming for jeongguk to the most as he has seen it all before and overwhelming for taehyung, who hasn't at all. Jeongguk thinks jin must've suggested to class it up but overall it looks like the bed of a richer. 
There were lights hanging from the ceiling, a nice and a very large black bed pushed against the wall. There was a long desk on the other side with a wheelie chair, both in matte black color totally matching jeongguk's style taehyung assumes. 
There was a two glass transparent doors, which lead to the master bathroom and a walkin closet. The carpet is a dark maroon. Over all of course it was too good for them if taehyung ever wonders. 
Later taehyung helps himself lie down on the bed which was the most comfortable bed he's ever been layed on in his all existence and he rolls over to his side looking at nothing in particular. 
Servants quickly leave them once they deliver  and put their belongings in place. Taehyung looks comfortable and soon his eyes looks droopy. "Can i sleep?" He asks, not looking up, still laying on his side. 
"Of course you should and please you don't have to ask." Replies jeongguk as he crashes on the couch himself, removes his blazer and looses his tie and shut his eyes. They both are exhausted. 
Taehyung nods Absentmindedly as he closes his eyes he feels his body immediately react, the sleep envelopes his body soon enough. He doesn't feel scared, nervous or anything bad he was feeling before just because he knows jeongguk is there, he won't leave.
