It wasn't intentional, how it started. It just sort of did.
Being an internet personality, with as large a following as Jeongguk had, secrets were bound to be uncovered.
Jeongguk would be damned, however, if he didn't try to keep them hidden.
Call him selfish, call him dumb, but the truth is Jeongguk is simply in love, and love makes you do crazy things. It just so happens to be that the crazy thing it makes him do is hide the fact that he is, well, in love . Crazy, he knows.
Whatever, his fans can speculate all they want, he will keep his relationship a secret for as long as he wants to.
Like he said, it wasn’t intentional anyway.
~One~
The first time speculation arose was a couple days after his three year anniversary on YouTube. Jeongguk had decided he would do something special for the occasion, and the brilliant idea of creating a Twitch and streaming live for the first time ever seemed like the perfect idea.
In hindsight, maybe he should have told Taehyung about his plans, and maybe he shouldn’t have left the door slightly open, just in case Yeontan wanted to come into his office. He thought the cute puppy could have said hi to the stream, okay? It would've been cute!
Instead, what ended up happening was Taehyung arriving home early from his daily walk, and Jeongguk was so immersed in his game he had failed to hear the front door open and close.
Taehyung had heard Jeongguk screaming, and had just assumed he was recording a video so he didn't bother coming into his office to say hi. Taehyung had sauntered over to his own office, right next to Jeongguk’s own, planning on continuing the painting he was most recently commissioned to do. With both doors open, and both men quickly getting lost in their own worlds, it was too late by the time Jeongguk snapped back to reality.
A soft voice had been singing, gentle hums and beautiful harmonies leaving the room next door and floating right into Jeongguk’s office. Even as soft as they were, the sound was picked up by Jeongguk’s mic, and immediately his entire chat went aflame.
I THOUGHT YOU LIVED ALONE????
omg who is that they sound so pretty!
oooooh jk has a secret girlfriend!!!!
no way TELL US WHO THAT IS!!!
Jeongguk’s eyes went wide, and in a split second decision driven by pure panic, his mind racing and heart pounding against his chest, he said, “Chat what are you talking about? I do live alone, what are you guys going on about?”
A miracle happened after he finished his sentence, Yeontan decided that was the perfect moment to enter the room and yip at him to be picked up.
“Oh, you guys probably just heard Tannie! Here look, he’s here!” gently picking up the puppy, Jeongguk made him wave to the camera, and consequently watched as his chat filled up with “ aaaawwww!!” and “ cuuuute!!!! Puppyyyyyy”.
Sighing in relief, Jeongguk went back to his game after he made Yeontan wave goodbye.
Later, when Taehyung asked who he was talking to, and Jeongguk explained to him that he had been streaming, a new rule was implemented into the household. Taehyung was to tell Jeongguk when he was heading back home from his walks, that way Jeongguk could warn him if he was live and another incident like this could be avoided.
Taehyung didn't particularly understand why he was a secret, but a part of him enjoyed the idea of being Jeongguk’s and Jeongguk’s only. And so, he didn't question it, simply nodding along to Jeongguk’s requests, planting a sweet kiss on his cheek before heading back into his office to complete his commission. Taehyung had always been supportive of Jeongguk and his career, even back when they had only been dating for a year and he decided to quit his job to become a full time content creator. Taehyung is his biggest fan after all.
Later that same night, when Jeongguk was all tucked into bed with a passed out Taehyung sleeping peacefully on his chest, if he saw some of his fans on twitter calling bullshit on his half assed excuse of Yeontan being the one making noise on his stream, he ignored it. Problems for another day.
~ Two ~
“Al-Alaina! Thank you so much for the ten gifted subs! Thank you!” Jeongguk smiled at the camera as he read out the kind donation, moving his character around on the solo minecraft survival world he was currently streaming.
He had decided a chill stream where he just gathers resources and builds up his house on minecraft would be perfect for today. His chat was just happy to receive content, they didn't need to know the reason behind him being anxious and needing something calming to do while he waited.
“Yes chat, I know we left Bones back at the desert temple, it’s okay, we can get the horse back later, guys, chill.” Jeongguk chuckled, maneuvering his way back to his main base, his chat speeding by.
Better get that horse back JK or istg
ayyyyy helloooo i can finally watch
JK remember you said you would get more acacia for the farm!
[this message was deleted]
okaaaay im holding you to get Bones back!!!
Before he could respond back to chat, promising again to get their beloved Bones, the skeleton horse, back, his phone began to ring.
Quickly glancing at it, Tete <3 shone brightly back at him, and his heart stopped, a sharp intake of breath almost making him choke.
Quickly turning off his camera, much to the disappointment of his chat, and a hastily muttered “be right back, guys.” Jeongguk bolted out of his chair and basically ran towards the living room.
There, Taehyung stood, the biggest smile on his face and tears streaming down his face, “Gukkie.”
Immediately, Jeongguk smiled back and engulfed Taehyung in a hug, wrapping his arms around his boyfriend’s waist and lifting him from the ground, spinning them around. Sweet giggles reached his ears, and arms wrapped around his own neck.
“Oh my god, Tae! I told you you would get it! I am so, so proud of you!” Jeongguk said as he lowered Taehyung back down, peppering kisses on his cheeks and down his neck.
Taehyung laughed in return, hands coming to grip Jeongguk’s hair and eyes twinkling with happiness, “You did say that. Lesson learned, I shouldn’t doubt you.”
Jeongguk hummed, and as he buried his face into Taehyung’s neck, gently swaying them both side to side in the middle of their living room, he felt his boyfriend deflate in his arms, tension leaving his body. In turn, Jeongguk relaxed as well.
This was the reason Jeongguk was anxious and nervous and needed a chill stream to keep calm and occupied. Because he had to wait for Taehyung to finish his meeting with possibly his most important client, for the biggest commission he would ever take on. This opportunity would skyrocket Taehyung’s career as an artist, and while he was already quite sought after and successful, this piece would bring him to a whole other level.
Taehyung had been anxious all week leading up to this meeting. The client and him had gone back and forth multiple times, emails and calls exchanged between the two for over a month before the client finally told Taehyung he would tell him his decision today. After years of being a freelance artist, living commission to commission, Taehyung had never been as anxious as he was for this.
And then the call came, and Taehyung shooed Jeongguk off to stream, and about an hour later here they were, celebrating cause Taehyung secured his biggest job, and his future has never looked so bright and Jeongguk was so proud to call this amazing man the love of his life.
Tightening his arms around Taehyung more, Jeongguk murmured “I love you, angel. So much. I'm so proud of you.”
Taehyung hugged him back tighter too, happiness and satisfaction coming off of him in waves, “I love you too, petal. Thank you for always believing in me.”
“Always.”
The couple got lost in their embrace, loving the feeling of being wrapped up in each other.
Eventually, they departed, Taehyung excitedly picking up his iPad and starting to plan for his piece, talking to Yeontan as he went to sit down on the balcony of their house, the setting sun shining golden rays onto his already ethereal figure.
Jeongguk stared after him, lovesick smile and fond eyes painting his expression, body swaying like a seaweed as if in a trance. Snapping back, Jeongguk suddenly remembered the stream and tens of thousands of people he left staring at his unmoving minecraft character for nearly twenty minutes.
Gasping out loud and jolting into action, Jeongguk stormed back into his office, practically crashing back into his gaming chair, turning his camera back on and unmuting his mic, “Hey chat, sorry, I’m back!”
HES BACK!
EVERYONE SCATTER
OH GOD NO JK LEAVE AGAIN
[this message was deleted]
MODS YOU BETTER NOT SNITCH
[this message was deleted]
SACTTER SCATTER
IT WAS JUST AN INNOCENT GAME OF EYE SPY WE SWEAR
“What did you guys do while I was gone? How long has it been, barely twenty minutes? You guys know what? I don’t even want to know. As an apology for being gone so long, I’m getting Bones back now.” Jeongguk giggled, amused at the state his chat was in now.
Settling quickly back into a streamer mindset, Jeongguk felt more relaxed now after finally knowing Taehyung secured his commission.
If chat noticed his more chilled demeanor, or if they started questioning what took him so long, some even daring to ask if it was his secret girlfriend before getting timed out by a mod, Jeongguk ignored it and just played the game.
~ Three ~
Okay, it was an honest mistake. Granted, maybe Jeongguk should have listened to Taehyung when he said he should go to bed instead of editing his new video for his YouTube channel. Alas, Jeongguk is stubborn, a little stupid, but mostly a perfectionist, and he had been editing this Valorant video for a week. He was already late on the upload and he simply would not tolerate another day of delay.
As one would expect, when you edit a video that has managed to frustrate you to no end, with audio out of sync, corrupted video files, and sleep deprivation as an added bonus, mistakes are bound to happen.
The mistake in question, this time, was a tiny section on his new video. Barely a second, but it was enough to wreak havoc among his fanbase.
Jeongguk has been a youtuber for about four years, and during those times there have been multiple occasions in which, during recording, Taehyung would come into his office to ask something, or give him a drink. Now, that was never an issue, since those bits could always be edited out and no one would know any better, Taehyung would be kept his little secret.
His delirious mind had other plans, however, because on his latest video, he had accidentally left a tiny clip of Taehyung coming in to ask him if Yeontan had eaten already. To be fair, all that could really be heard was a small “okay” in the background, barely there, because everything else from that conversation was properly cut out of the video. Except for that tiny, insignificant bit.
And his audience ran with it.
Soon enough, his notifications were flooded with fans asking him about who that was in the background of his video, questioning if he was actually telling the truth about living alone.
To add to the fire, older fans brought up other videos of his, released years ago, where weird cuts and faint background noise could be argued to be another person coming in during recording and having to be cut out, as well as moving around in other parts of Jeongguk’s house. His first stream was brought up again too, almost two years later, and people jumped on it once more.
Really, these many coincidences could not be explained away easily, especially the older clips from his YouTube channel. His Yeontan excuse would fall through since he has only been around for two years, and some clips date back three to four years back.
Twitter was up in flames, and even some of his steamer friends had messaged him on discord asking why he had never told them he lived with someone else.
Jeongguk means it when he says he never meant to keep Taehyung a secret from everyone, and technically he wasn't, their close friends and family obviously knew they were together. Jimin would never let Taehyung get away with a secret boyfriend anyway, and it was Namjoon who introduced them to each other back during Jeongguk’s freshman year at college.
His new friends, however, the ones he met from streaming and growing as a content creator, only a select few knew. By select few he means one person, and that’s Yugyeom. Anyone else, unintentionally, didn't know about Taehyung.
Jeongguk was prideful, though, and he will not let this one little, insignificant mistake be what reveals Taehyung to the world. If that were ever to happen, it would be special.
So during his next stream, when the topic inevitably gets brought up, Jeongguk evades, distracts or outright ignores anyone who asks. All smiles and casual jabs at the friends he’s playing CS:GO with, all of which ask if his secret girlfriend is actually real, but Jeongguk just smirks and snipes them from behind in the game.
Outraged screeches and wheezing laughs from his friends, and a few minutes of more intense rounds later, the topic is dropped. Jeongguk sighs in relief.
From the next room over, Taehyung watches the stream on his laptop, propped next to his canvas where he is painting a personal project, a portrait of both him and Jeongguk modeled after a candid photo Yoongi had taken of them at one of their hangouts, where they are entangled together, slow dancing in the middle of Jin’s living room.
The irony makes him laugh.
He’s such an idiot, Taehyung thinks. My idiot.
~ Four ~
This next one is completely and totally, most definitely not his fault. It’s not even Taehyung’s fault either, he didn't accidentally come in during a stream or anything. No unedited clip, no randomly leaving while being live, nothing like that.
Nope. Instead, it's Yugyeom and his big mouth.
“Yugs, please. Let me goooo!” Jeongguk groaned, hands coming up to rub down his face.
“No, dude! You said you’d be here for longer, so you’re staying longer!” Yugyeom yelled back, continuing his Valorant game, grinding for the platinum 2 ranking he recently lost after a bad batch of awful games.
Jeongguk wasn’t even streaming, he had just joined the call with Yugyeom several hours ago, and his friend had randomly decided to go live. So, he stuck around promising to stay for a little while.
All was going well, until he received a text from Taehyung, reminding him of their date that night. Jeongguk hadn't forgotten, but he had lost track of time, and he still needed to get ready, so when he glanced at the time displayed on his phone, he immediately started to whine to Yugyeom to let him leave.
“Dude, I know I said that, but I have been with you on call for five hours now! And on stream with you for almost two! I say it has been plenty of time and now I have to go!” Jeongguk yelled back. He leaned back in his chair and stretched, a loud groan falling from his lips making Yugyeom laugh.
“Yeah? You have to go where, man?” Yugyeom’s voice rose in pitch to a teasing tone, and Jeongguk watched as his smirk grew from where he had his stream open.
Scoffing, Jeongguk replied, “it would be absolutely none of your business, but you already know you big idiot.”
“Ooh, do I?”
“Yes you dumbass, we were talking about it before the stream.”
It’s true, Jeongguk was telling Yugyeom about his date with Taehyung tonight, briefly explaining what they were doing to his nosy friend. It resulted with him being relentlessly teased for sounding so gone for Taehyung, but it was quickly forgotten in favor of Yugyeom trying to defend himself after Jeongguk brought up his awful Valorant plays.
Yugyeom laughed again, and Jeongguk chanced a glance at his chat.
let us innn pleaaaasseeee!!!
we want to know what Guk is doing !!!
ooooh even more secrets huh JK?
Oh, if only they knew Jeongguk had to go get ready to go on date with his boyfriend of five years. If only.
That ‘if’ quickly changed into a ‘when’.
“Seriously dude, just stay a little while longer, come on man.” Yugyeom pleaded again.
“And what? Sit here and watch you miserably try to get your status back? No thanks.” Jeongguk shot back, amused smile in place and mischief clear in his tone.
He spoke too soon though.
“Oh shut the fuck, Jeongguk, you just want to go get ready for your date so you can pamper your boyfriend more than you already do!” Yugyeom yelled back, clearly riled up after all the smack talk about his gameplay.
Maybe it was little Jeongguk’s fault, then.
It took several long seconds for Jeongguk to fully register the words his friend had just spoken, hoping against all hope he had just misheard. One look at the speeding chat confirmed his worst nightmares, however. He could barely even read the messages with how fast it was going.
HIS HWAT???
EXCUSE ME???
OMG ONH OMF
NO FLIPPING WAY
AAAAAAAAHHHHHHHH
Silence continued on in the call, Yugeom’s face looking panicked and a little scared in the corner of his stream, Valorant paused.
Jeongguk quickly sorted through all of his thoughts. This was it, the moment he had been trying to avoid for so long, not only admitting he was not straight, but also that he has a boyfriend. He knew that even without him saying it, his fans would know it was said boyfriend the one that they all heard in those clips of noise or voices in the background of Jeongguk’s videos and streams, that he did actually live with someone, but it wasn't the girlfriend they all expected, but a boyfriend.
He thought about Taehyung, with his bright smiles and soft eyes. With his encouraging words and supportive hands, always there and always willing to help. Passionate kisses and slow dancing in the living room, with Yeontan happily barking between their feet. Their shared apartment, home, and the life they both knew they would spend together until the end, no matter what. He thought about Taehyung, the love of his life, his pride and joy, and decided right then and there, no more hiding .
Taking a deep breath, Jeongguk let out a small laugh, “Yeah, and so what. He deserves it, and you’re just jealous cause he’s taking me away from your shit stream.”
Almost like magic, all tension left Yugyeom’s face, and instead a radiant smile consumed his features. He looked at the camera, and Jeongguk knew what he was trying to say to him without using words: I’m proud of you.
“Whatever. Go then, leave! Go on your date and abandon me! See if I ever show up to one of your streams again, loser!” Yugyeom exclaimed, voice laced with fond affection for his friend, his character in game once again gaining life and going back into action.
Jeongguk laughed, “I will! Bye!”
“Bye!”
And with one last look at the absolute mess that was Yugyeom’s chat, the absurd amount of viewers now watching his stream, up in the hundreds of thousands, and expecting to see Twitter up in flames, Jeongguk left the call and finally got up to go get ready for his date.
The world could wait for him, Taehyung took priority. He always did.
(If after their date, and after Jeongguk told Taehyung in between breathless laughs what had happened while he was out on his walk, they both decided to mess with the fans a little more by posting a picture of their joined hands, walking at night with the Han River as the backdrop, well, Jeongguk would blame Yugyeom for causing Twitter to break.)
~ Five ~
Jeongguk had admitted to having a boyfriend, yes, but that didn't mean he was obligated to show him to everyone. Besides, Taehyung was shy, and if he preferred staying Jeongguk’s secret, he wasn't going to protest.
It had been a year since he admitted to being in a relationship, and while his fans created an uproar about it, trending #JKBF as well as #J-GAY, it had mostly died down by now. There was the occasional donation asking about Tae, to which he always responded with a simple “He's doing good, thanks for asking!”. Other than that, his fans seemed to have lost interest in discovering who Jeongguk was dating.
Which is why this was the perfect time to finally reveal Taehyung.
The both of them had just celebrated their sixth year anniversary, the day filled with sweet giggles and soft cheek kisses as they ate a lovely picnic at a park near their house. The night was filled with wandering hands and praise whispered softly against porcelain skin, passionate kisses and loud ‘ I love you’ s. All in all, they had a fantastic time.
Their anniversary also meant that Jeongguk’s anniversary as a content creator was close, and he thought that for the special occasion, to celebrate five years of wonderful memories and dreams come true, he would finally show the face of his biggest support and number one fan, through all of it.
So that’s how Jeongguk found himself at their kitchen one evening, kettle on the stove to make himself some tea after spending a few hours editing his next video, and going over how he was going to present the idea to Taehyung.
Before he could think too much about it, however, the front door opened with the soft jingle of keys, and a voice called out, “Baby, I’m home!”
“In the kitchen, love!”
Not five seconds later and arms were wrapping around his waist from behind and a soft peck was placed on the side of his neck, “Hi, gorgeous.” a deep voice murmured next to his ear.
Jeongguk chuckled lightly, hands coming up to rest above the ones splayed on his stomach, “Hello, Taetae.”
“You done with your video? I thought I would be coming home to you still cooped up in your office.” Taehyung asked, chin resting on Jeongguk’s shoulder and peering down to see what he was doing.
“Nah, but I decided to take a little break, make myself some tea to destress a little.” Jeongguk answered, starting to sway them side to side as the water on the kettle in front of them continued its steady rise to boiling, “Want some?”
Taehyung hummed, “Sure, make me some green tea, please. I'll go get changed and I’ll be right back,” placing one more soft peck, this time on Jeongguk’s cheek, Taehyung let go of his boyfriend and left the kitchen.
Jeongguk smiles fondly at his retreating figure, calmer now with Taehyung back home, but the time to ask is now.
Moving quickly and preparing both of their teas, Jeongguk takes both mugs once they're done out onto the balcony, setting them into the little table they have there. It's a beautiful day out, sun barely setting and a pleasant breeze blowing through the air.
Jeongguk sits himself down on the little couch in front of the table and sighs, soaking up the afternoon sun rays. Soon enough, another presence situates themselves next to him, and a body settles itself nuzzled to his side.
Smiling, Jeongguk places a soft kiss on top of Taehyung’s messy mop of hair, reaching out the tiny distance to the mugs and taking both, handing Taehyung his tea.
A soft hum is all he gets as thanks, and they both relax in the calm atmosphere of the sunny afternoon.
About half an hour passes, Taehyung still nuzzled into Jeongguk’s thighs, the younger playing with the soft strands of brown hair that tickle the side of his face.
“Taehyung, I want you to appear on stream with me.”
It’s sudden, and though the statement is spoken softly, it starles Taehyung enough to make him bolt from his spot and look at Jeongguk with wide eyes.
“Wha- wait what?”
Jeongguk can’t help but giggle at the adorably lost expression on his boyfriend’s face, sitting as he is, criss cross applesauce, on the couch on their balcony, with the fading rays of sun illuminating his strong features in a heavenly glow that makes him look softer. His brown hair shines a brighter chestnut, and his cheeks pink from the breeze that is steadily getting colder as night draws closer. He leans over and plans a peck on Taehyung’s cheek.
“I said, I want you to appear on stream with me.” Jeongguk whispers right next to Taehyung’s ear from where he leaned over. He doesn't miss the shiver that wracks through his body, smirking at it. He grants his boyfriend another kiss on the cheek, just because.
“Yeah no I- I heard you I guess I’m just… why now?” Taehyung asks, head tilting to the side in confusion, no malice in his tone, just genuine curiosity. His hands move to take one of Jeongguk’s in both of his own, fiddling with the rings on his fingers.
Jeongguk shrugs, “I love you, you are the love of my life and I don't want to hide that. It’s not like it ever was about hiding it, I guess I was just selfish and wanted you all to myself, only for me, you know? But I love my fans, and all the support they give means the world to me. So I guess I want to share with them the one person who give me the most love and support out of everyone else, and that's you.” lifting Taehyung’s hands to his lips, Jeongguk places gentle kisses to his knuckles as he speaks.
Taehyung looks at him like he hung the stars in the sky.
“So, would you want to be on stream with me?”
Jeongguk does not receive a verbal answer, what he gets instead is a lap full of Taehyung and eager kisses being pressed to his lips, cheeks, neck, anywhere Taehyung can reach.
Laughing and kissing his boyfriend back, Jeongguk takes this as enough confirmation. He places his hands beneath Taehyung’s thighs and lifts them both up from the couch. Taehyung gasps in surprise a little, but quickly latches harder onto Jeongguk, as he takes them both inside and into their bedroom, kisses being interrupted by nothing other than flustered giggles.
~ ~ ~
It’s a couple weeks later, Jeongguk is just finishing setting up his stream before he goes live with Taehyung. He had already tweeted out, saying tonight was a special stream and that he couldn't wait to share this with his fans. He received excited comments in return.
As soon as he’s done checking camera quality one last time, Jeongguk pokes his head out of his office to call for Taehyung.
“Angel, I’m ready over here! We can start now!” he calls out, expecting an answer.
When a couple seconds pass and he gets nothing in response, he calls out again, “Tae? Are you ready? We can go ahead and start the stream now.”
Nothing.
“Taehyung?”
Silence.
A little worried at the lack of response, Jeongguk fully leaves his office to search for the older man.
He checks his office first, but finds nothing there. Living room is empty apart from a sleeping Yeontan on the couch. Empty balcony and empty kitchen and empty entrance hall, but keys and wallet still on the little table by the door so he is still in the apartment but where?
Heading over to the last room he hadn’t checked, their bedroom, Jeongguk opens the door to find a bundle of blankets in the middle of their bed.
Slowly coming closer, he sees it move up and down, and registers Taehyung is under the mountain of blankets.
“Tae? Baby, are you okay? What’s wrong?” Jeongguk asks gently, moving to sit next to his burrito boyfriend, placing a soft hand on what he assumes is his back.
A barely audible mumble of jumbled words can be heard from under all the blankets, but Jeongguk barely catches it.
“Sorry, love, could you repeat that?”
Suddenly, Taehyung pulls the blankets off of him, face flushed and eyes a little wild, “I said I don’t want to be on your stream anymore!”
Jeongguk startles, but quickly regains his composure when he sees the frazzled state of his boyfriend. It takes a second, but the words he spoke finally register in his mind.
“You… don’t?”
“No.”
“...Okay.”
Silence encomapsses them.
“You- you're not mad?” Taehyung asks, hands fiddling with the blankets still hugging his form, face showing his concern at disappointing Jeongguk.
“Mad? No of course not, if you don’t want to appear on stream I won’t force you, baby, it’s okay. May I ask why, though? You were all excited yesterday.” Jeongguk askes, gently removing the blankets from Taehyung’s body and instead wrapping himself around him, cuddling the brunet close to his chest as a form of comfort.
“I was, but then, and I know this is a little dumb, but I started overthinking about what your fans would think of me, if I would live up to everything they think I am in their heads, if I would be too boring and let them down, or something.” Taehyung answers honestly, and Jeongguk coos.
“Honey bear. Come on now, you know it doesn't matter what they think. And besides, you're so lovable, and not at all boring, and I am a million per cent certain they will all love you.” Jeongguk reassures him, carding his hands through Taehyung’s hair and placing a kiss on his forehead.
“You think so?”
“I know so.”
Taehyung giggles, and sits up a bit to look at Jeongguk, “Thank you, I just got a little overwhelmed is all.”
“You’re all good, love. Do you want to wait and come on stream at a later time? And before you ask, it’s okay that I said this stream would be special, I can just say that due to a last minute change, that will be for later and that for now we can play Little Nightmares 2. They have been begging for me to play that game, and I think this is the perfect opportunity.” Jeongguk smiles at Taehyung.
Taehyung nods, sheepish, but grateful. Jeongguk just leans forward and places a lingering kiss on his lips.
“I love you.”
“I love you, too.”
Later that night, when they're in bed together and Jeongguk tells Taehyung about the amazing game that is Little Nightmares 2, and how much his chat enjoyed watching him play, he knows he would wait forever and more for Taehyung to come on stream, if the lighthearted laughs he lets out at Jeongguk’s story never stop. Anything for the comfortable way he settles into Jeongguk’s chest, safety and love draping over them as they fall asleep to the gentle sounds of their breathing and beating hearts.
It’s okay, the world can wait to see Taehyung. They have each other, always, and that’s all that matters.
~ Plus One ~
Taehyung is a little shit.
Jeongguk knows this, he has known this since even before they dated, the older always managing to rope him into his stupid little pranks and foolish stunts.
Now, six years of a strong relationship later, a lot has changed, but Taehyung is still a little shit. His pranks have just evolved with him.
It’s a normal afternoon, and Jeongguk is streaming on the multiplayer survival server he and his friends have on Minecraft.
They're just fooling around, trying to kill each other to steal the resources they have, when all of a sudden, his office door opens.
Jeongguk quickly turns around, ready to yell that he’s streaming, but his brain short circuits upon seeing Taehyung. More importantly, what he’s wearing.
Sporting a pair of high rise shorts, his tan legs are on full display, miles of smooth caramel skin looking delectable as always. He’s also wearing a large hoodie, big enough to cover most of his shorts, making it seem he’s not wearing them at all, and giving him adorable sweater paws, slender fingers barely poking out past the edge. The hoodie belongs to Jeongguk, and he looks damn good in it.
Jeongguk has half a mind to not attack his boyfriend with kisses right now.
“Here, baby. Some tea for you.” Taehyung says, placing the mug in front of Jeongguk on his desk. He leans down and places a soft kiss on his cheek. He turns to look at the camera, livestream still going strong, mischief dancing brightly in his dark chocolate eyes. He waves a sweater paw at the audience, an adorable smile on display, even going as far as to giggling , before he turns around and saunters out of the room, hips swaying as he goes.
Jeongguk’s eyes follow after him, brain barely functioning and struggling to understand what just happened.
It’s the deafening cries of his friends that bring him back to the present.
“Dude! What the fuck!”
“That’s your boyfriend?! No wonder you kept him hidden, he's gorgeous!”
“Holy shit dude, your boyfriend is stunning! Lucky bastard!”
Jeongguk tunes them out, laugh bubbling up inside him fast.
He looks at his chat.
In. Shambles.
He cannot even start to attempt to read whatever the messages his viewers are sending are, donations are flooding in as well, all with either caps locked questions, or just full on screaming. His chat is a mess of keyboard smashes, misspelled words, crying emojis, and everything else random and chaotic.
It sends him over the edge, and Jeongguk is sent into the biggest laughing pit he’s had in years.
His friends are still screaming at him, freaking out about his boyfriend, how cute and gorgeous he was and what a nice voice he has and how he had never introduced the angel to them. His chat is much the same, begging him to get the ethereal being that is Taehyung to come back to the stream “pretty please!”.
Jeongguk just continues to laugh, and he swears he can faintly hear Taehyung positively losing it in the living room, too, cackles and snorts softly being heard behind his closed office door.
Leave it to Taehyung to reveal himself in the most basic, but also most chaotic way possible.
God, he’s so in love.
