writetomyheart | [TEAM FOUR] Melting

Hello! I hope everyone is safe where they are.
I'm still not done writing it, but it can get extremely R-18 tho, so will just post till this part only. ^^

damagea, it's your turn! :)

See, the weatherman said that it’s going to be hot today, he didn’t say that the fiery pits of hell will temporarily relocate in Seoul, South Korea. Taehyung shakes his portable fan for the umpeenth time in an attempt to make it work. The AAA batteries inside it must be melting like Taehyung is. Who uses AAA batteries nowadays anyway?

Only Kim Taehyung apparently.

There’s almost no one outside, but Taehyung and his plastic bag full of chips and ice popsicles. Jimin has given him specific direction to buy the red bean popsicle, but really Jimin can be fickle-minded at times and Taehyung is not going to risk having to go back to the convenience store just because Jimin suddenly wants a strawberry popsicle.

It’s too hot to even exist, let alone walk in this blasted summer heat.

One of their neighbors inflated a plastic swimming pool and Taehyung watches as all the children in their apartment complex gather at the parking lot, already equipped with their swimming gears and swimming shorts. Oh how to be young and carefree. Taehyung locks eye with the Mrs. Park 3 doors from the left of Taehyung and Jimin’s apartment and he immediately bows. Mrs. Park does the same and even jokingly invites him to the pool where the kids are practically squealing and yelling themselves to happiness already.

Taehyung manages to release a chuckle before he shakes his head and mouths Jimin’s name. Mrs. Park has always been a funny mom. Real cool and very supportive of Taehyung and Jimin’s relationship. Taehyung makes a mental note to offer Mrs. Park and her daughter Yerim leftover popsicles once Jimin has chosen whatever flavor he actually wants.

It must be 35 degrees celsius. Maybe 40 even.

Taehyung deserves more than a kiss as a reward for shopping their afternoon snack in this scorching hot weather.

The ringing sound of the lock as Taehyung finishes tapping their code is music to Taehyung ears, but not as much as Jimin shrieking in happiness at the sight of his boyfriend and their afternoon snack. Jimin lands a kiss on Taehyung’s cheeks before he grabs the plastic and runs towards the kitchen. At least Jimin had the sense to turn on their air conditioner while Taehyung left. Taehyung watches as Jimin happily places the popsicles in the freezer; it makes walking through that torture of a weather worth it.

“I’m gonna take a shower, the weather outside is hell.” Taehyung shouts as he gets his towel from their balcony. The exhaust of the summer heat clings to Taehyung’s skin and it’s absolutely uncomfortable. He can’t wait to treat himself to a good, old shower then ice popsicle afterwards while he clings to Jimin like a koala clinging to a eucalyptus branch.

“Okay, baby, I’ll make us pancakes. You want the edges crisp and a little bit burnt, right?” Jimin bellows from the kitchen. Taehyung can hear pots and pans clanging against each other as Jimin prepares to cook. Taehyung responds with a resonating Yes! Before he goes to their bathroom.

Truth be told, Jimin and Taehyung’s apartment is a humble one, but one that they are both proud of. It’s a little bit of a walk from the university and the landlord has a tendency to flirt with Jimin, but their neighbors are great and the bathroom is huge with a tub too! It’s one of the reasons why they decided to rent this apartment in the first place.
