Twisted Straight ?

Taehyung is lying in the bathtub with Kookie resting on his chest, both facing the white screen. They watch Kookie's performance in the university award ceremony using the bathroom projector, a regular setup for Kookie who enjoys watching movies while lounging in the tub.

Despite the loud deed they had moments ago, they now lie in calm, awkwardly silent, absorbed in Kookie's performance. Neither of them want to discuss the subject of their earlier deed during the ceremony watching time; instead, they relish in each other's quiet company.

"You looked beautiful that day, in that glittery black outfit!! " Tae whispers finally breaks the silence, his words barely audible over the sound of running water and the sound of playing video.

Kookie shifts slightly, nestling closer to Tae's chest, his eyes still fixed on the screen. "You made that day special, Tae hyung.... star of that evening!!" he responds softly, the warmth of his voice filling the small bathroom. Tae placed soft smooches on Kookie's ears, which tickled Kookie.

Tae's heart swells with affection at Kookie's words, his fingers gently tracing circles on Kookie's back. Memories of the bitter sweet ceremony moment intertwine with the sensual present moment.

" You looked damn hot while you danced on stage... your expression.... wahhh!! That moment... I had to look down and think of your angry face to control myself... I was a bit jealous when all the other girls watched you dance like that..." Kookie confessed, his tone filled with admiration and jealousy.

" But it's... not those girls who get to see me like this... besides, I danced just because you raised your phone to record the video... did that... only for you!!" Tae replied with a playful grin.

" I guess I got lucky then..." Kookie said, embracing Tae tightly.

" I'm luckier, Kookie..." Tae countered.

" No, it's me..." Kookie insisted.

As they playfully argued about who was luckier, their banter was abruptly interrupted by a falling stone.

" Ahhhh!!! Jia....!!" Kookie exclaimed, but Tae quickly covered his mouth.

" Shhhh!!! That cutie knows every detail about you and your bathroom... don't let her know about us... I'll go dress up fast and casually lay on the bed pretending to sleep, you go open the door..." Tae instructed, rushing to get dressed. He then pretended to be asleep on bed, while Kookie hurriedly dressed and opened the door.

To his surprise, Kookie found Ryujin and Jia at the door. Stuttering nervously, he tried to explain their delay in answering.

" I was.. I... was... in bath..." Kookie said..

" What are you doing, Kookie??? We've been knocking for almost ten minutes! Why aren't you answering the door?!" Ryujin questioned, puzzled by the situation.

" Uh... um... Tae hyung... he is sleeping... I was... taking... a bath..." Kookie stammered, as Ryujin rushed past him and Jia jumped on the bed to wake Tae.

" Sleeping? I've been knocking for almost ten minutes, and with this music and noise, how can he sleep at this time?!" Ryujin exclaimed looking at sleeping man.

" He was tired... he's a sound sleeper... see, he's still sleeping... ahhh... Ryu... give him some privacy... " Kookie tried to explain, all the while nervously stuttering and limping behind Ryujin.

" Tae jhusu's hair... is so wet... did ajhusi get wet because of the rain?!" Jia baby asked worried touching Tae's wet hair.

" That's not... wet... not water wet... its cream... his hair cream... I mean... he uses moisturizer for his hair... that... I mean, wet conditioner... hair conditioner... it looks and feels wet, but it's not really wet..." Kookie rambled, trying to cover up the situation.
