“This argument made me think, really think even through my drunken state. I am becoming an alcoholic; I want to stop drinking, for you. I knew you hate my drinking and tonight I realized what it is doing to me, what it is doing to you. So I’m going to quit. For you… I’m going to be strong for you.

I’m so sorry for what I said tonight and I hope you forgive me one day….”

He ran his fingertips down Taehyung’s side and brushing them over the softer skin of his lower stomach, watching the muscles jump and flutter beneath his touch.

Jungkook sat back and grinned appreciatively as Taehyung ran a
