Not even the gods above can separate the two of us

Summary:

Taekook has always been one of the hottest topics in the fandom and the company wouldn’t really care if, in fact, Taehyung and Jeongguk really weren’t a couple. But they were and Hybe was desperately hiding that fact, sometimes with forced separations, sometimes with rumours.

Taehyung and Jeongguk always withstand anything thrown their way, but what will happen when the company decides to take drastic measures and makes Taehyung get a ‘beard’ – a fake girlfriend with whom he has to convince the fandom and the public that he is straight and isn’t dating the maknae of their group? Is their relationship strong enough to withstand that? Well, at least one thing is for sure, their hyungs are always there to support them and fight for them.

Notes:

Expect some angst and emotional moments, but also lots of sweetness and relationship strength. I decided not to tag Tae with another character since this is not a real relationship but only a stunt for cameras.

Chapter Text

Jeongguk smiled to himself when Bam zoomed away from him and towards the front door. There were only couple of things that could make his dog abandon him when he was frying meat and he knew what the reason was this time. Not that it would be something uncommon, it happened most of the evenings.

He heard giggling and babbling from the small entry hall of his apartment as the newcomer started greeting Bam just as excitedly as the dog greeted him.

“Baby, I’m here!” deep, smooth voice called.

“I would have never guessed,” Jeongguk called back with a chuckle.

“I can’t come for surprise visits anymore, Bam ruins everything,” Taehyung whined as he walked in the spacious living room connected to the kitchen.

“You didn’t come for a surprise visit though, I knew you were coming, love.”

“Still, I could have come quietly and sneak behind you or something.”

“What can I say, Bam is my personal bell, even though you have the key from the door, he always alerts me.”

“Well, we can’t blame him for loving me so much,” the elder grinned and scratched the dog’s big head.

“He mostly likes Yeontan’s scent on you.”

“Hey, that’s not true, he loves me for me, because I am good to him!”

“Yeah, yeah, I get it, I am the bad guy who is actually trying to train him while you would just spoil him rotten if it was up to you,” Jeongguk snorted.

“He deserves to have at least one good dad,” Taehyung retorted before he finally stood next to Jeongguk, leaning in. Jeongguk knew what the elder wanted and even though his hands were busy with making dinner, he pursued his lips and closed the gap between them, giving Taehyung a peck.

“Hi, babe,” he said afterwards with a stupid smile, his ‘Taehyung smile’ as people who knew about them called it.

“The meat smells delicious, I’ve been craving steak for good three days,” Taehyung sighed, watching happily the meat sizzling on frying pan.

“What wouldn’t I do for you? Especially when you tend to send such threatening texts.”

“Hey, I am not threatening.”

“You totally are when it comes to food,” the younger retorted.

“Okay, maybe a little, because I don’t joke when it comes to food.”

“I’m aware,” Jeongguk chuckled and shook his head with a smile when Taehyung started bouncing around like an idiot to rile up Bam.

Jeongguk was almost done with cooking dinner for them, the meat was the last thing left. Taehyung texted him earlier that day, saying that he was really in mood for his steak and well, what Taehyung wanted, Taehyung got. Jeongguk wasn’t making the rules, that was just how universe worked, at least his universe. He was often made fun of by anyone who knew about him and Taehyung for being too whipped, but he knew it wasn’t one sided because Taehyung wasn’t any better. He just abused his power over the elder less often, while Taehyung didn’t mind at all to play dirty and pout and whine when he wanted something. But Jeongguk didn’t mind at all, he wouldn’t trade it for anything, he liked taking care of his boyfriend, the man he loved more than he ever thought was humanly possible.

When the members decided to start getting their own apartments, Taehyung and Jeongguk were already dating, so they were playing with the idea of living together. But the company didn’t like it, they said it would be too risky if someone found out that they shared an apartment while other members had their own places, so they decided to get two separate apartments. It wasn’t a bad thing though, they didn’t need to spend every minute together and sometimes it was nice to have their own place when they wanted to work or just be on their own. Besides, they were spending lots of time together anyway, not just while working, but also because they were visiting each other frequently. Their apartments weren’t far from each other, so it wasn’t a problem to get in the car and go spend the night together, they both had some personal stuff in each other’s home. They were spending more time in Jeongguk’s place though, Taehyung was more likely to spontaneously visit even without a previous notice and also, the maknae always had something to eat in his place, which couldn’t be said about Taehyung because when it came to groceries, he was just terrible, Jeongguk often teased him that he would die of starvation without him.

“Find something to watch while we eat, can you, babe?” Jeongguk called when Taehyung went to the bathroom to wash his hands.

“Okay!” Taehyung yelled back.

Jeongguk started bringing food to the coffee table in front of the sofa while Taehyung sat and turned on the TV to find something for them to watch. It was their routine, they have been in a relationship for about four years now, so they didn’t spend every waking moment gazing into each other’s eyes lovingly, but that was completely normal. At this point, they were in the stage of the relationship when they didn’t have to always talk about something, they were just enjoying being together, no matter what they were doing.

“Oh, I found this show on Netflix the other day, we could watch that!” Taehyung remembered.

“Is there some action?” the younger wondered.

“Of course, that’s why I’m suggesting it. I know you can be a sucker for romantic dramas and cry like a baby sometimes, but I know you usually prefer something with action.”

“Thank god you know me so well.”

“Who should know you better than me?” the elder grinned.

When he found the show and Jeongguk finished everything for dinner, they settled on the sofa and ate while watching. They hardly ever stayed silent though, they always commented whatever they were watching and this time wasn’t an exception. When they were done eating, they just sat closer to each other, their bodies naturally drifting towards each other.

It was a normal, peaceful evening that they both loved. They were pining over each other basically since trainee days and after the debut and it took them a long time to really come to terms with their feelings and overcome the fears of what their relationship might mean for the group, but they eventually got together with the support of their hyungs and also the company. When they got together, at first it was sometimes hard to navigate through the relationship since they were used to being just friends, so sometimes they had minor arguments and disagreements. But they have overcome all that and at this point, they were just relaxed and happy.

They ended up watching few episodes of the show and when they went to take a shower together, it was past midnight. They spent some time in the bathroom, just making out lazily under the warm water falling on them without really any intention. That was what was nice about being with someone for a long time, they could just kiss and feel each other up without it leading anywhere. At the beginning, when they finally let go and got physical, they were unable to keep their hands to themselves and it always resulted in some kind of action. Their love life was still very frequent and passionate, but they calmed down a little and treasured these lovely moments.

They fell asleep cuddled together. That was one of their habits they never broke, they always held onto each other, even when there happened to be cameras around like In The Soop or something, their limbs were at least touching under the covers. But when they were alone, they could really snuggle together and their most common position was with Jeongguk on his back and arm wrapped around Taehyung’s waist, while Taehyung lied on his side, one arm and leg thrown over the younger and his head resting on or beside Jeongguk’s chest. They fell asleep like that also this time.

“Wake up, sleepy head,” Taehyung’s quiet, slightly raspy voice pulled Jeongguk from sleep. He loved Taehyung’s voice in the morning, it was different than during any other part of the day, maybe Jeongguk was a bit dramatic, but he really didn’t know a better way to wake up. He smiled when long fingers rubbed his head and started playing with his long hair.

“Do we have schedule today?” he got out without opening his eyes.

“No, but I can’t sleep anymore,” the elder replied without any further explanation. It didn’t take long for Jeongguk to understand why his boyfriend woke him up though, especially since they usually let the other sleep when one of them woke up first. But there were certain moments when it was okay for them to wake up the other and that was the case today.

Jeongguk’s mind was still a bit clouded with sleep so it took him a good minute to really feel it, something firm poking his thigh.

It wasn’t anything uncommon for them to sport morning woods and it was funny, really, because it usually didn’t happen when they were apart. It was like their bodies knew even in their sleep when they were together, waking them up and demanding some physical action. And Jeongguk realized that he wasn’t any better, he noticed his sleeping pants felt tight.

“You need something?” he opened one eye, teasing the elder.

“Well, I could use my boyfriend’s help,” Taehyung hummed.

“Really? What’s the issue, babe?”

“I think you have that same issue, love,” Taehyung retorted with a teasing smirk. Jeongguk knew the elder so well by now that he wasn’t surprised when he suddenly felt a hand palming his hard dick, but it felt so fucking good that it still made him let out a small gasp.

Taehyung leaned over Jeongguk and closed the gap between their lips. Their tongues met in lazy dance, it was that perfect morning kiss that anyone could imagine and at this point in their relationship, they didn’t care about morning breaths anymore.

At first they were just kissing slowly, savouring the beginning of new day, but then Taehyung started getting visibly needier, pushing his palm harder against Jeongguk’s morning wood while moving his hips and rubbing his own aching erection against the younger’s thigh.

“Shit, I need it,” Taehyung panted as he broke the kiss but their lips were still almost brushing.

“Do you wanna just a quick hand or do you want it properly?” Jeongguk asked softly. Sometimes they just got each other off quickly before they got up, usually with their hands, but sometimes they took their sweet time and had a proper, lazy morning sex and by the  way Taehyung was biting his lip, Jeongguk could already tell what it was gonna be today.

“Want you inside me,” was all the elder said before he kissed Jeongguk again, moaning into his mouth when the maknae moved his hand and squeezed his ass and rubbed his fingers between the ass cheeks through the fabric of Taehyung’s pants.

“Hand me the lube then,” Jeongguk said against the elder’s lips.

Taehyung broke the kiss and stretched towards the bedside table where they had their stocks and grabbed one bottle without caring which flavour it was, because he couldn’t care less about that now.

At this point of their relationship, he was the one that exclusively bottomed. When they got together, they were experimenting and switched couple of times, but Jeongguk never enjoyed bottoming much. Taehyung didn’t mind though, when Jeongguk told him, he reassured him that he didn’t care what they were doing because he enjoyed being with the maknae either way in any way and unlike Jeongguk, he did enjoy being fucked, so it was pretty much settled. It was yet another one of the things that made them so perfectly compatible, Taehyung loved being fucked and being taken care of, although sometimes when he felt playful, he easily turned into a power bottom. Jeongguk on the other hand liked having the upper hand most of the time, pampering Taehyung and worshipping him, but when Taehyung got playful and took control, he indulged him and let the elder do whatever he wanted.

Jeongguk threw away the cover so they could move more freely before he grabbed the lube from his boyfriend and they returned back to their previous position with him lying on his back and Taehyung lying partly on top of him.

They started kissing again, but when they were doing it, Jeongguk pulled Taehyung’s pants down and blindly coated his fingers with lube and brought them to the elder’s ass. They knew each other so well by now that they could do anything without really looking.

Taehyung let out a needy whine into the maknae’s mouth when Jeongguk started circling his entrance, teasing him a little and spreading the lube around.

“Patience, love, we’ve got time,” Jeongguk reminded the other. They didn’t have schedule today, but since they were usually pretty busy, it was easy to forget when they could take it slow, so most of their escapades usually escalated pretty quickly. But today they had time and they could really enjoy it and have that nice lazy morning sex they both loved so much.

Jeongguk prepared Taehyung one finger by one, while the elder freed his restrained cock and slowly jerked him off and by the time Taehyung was ready, they were both desperate for it.

As soon as Jeongguk pulled out his fingers and they kissed one last time, Taehyung turned around so he was lying on his side with his back facing the maknae. That was undoubtedly one of their favourite go-to positions in the morning, because they were both still sleepy and lazy to do any acrobatics.

“So pretty,” Jeongguk said as he rolled to his side as well so he was directly behind Taehyung and kissed his shoulder couple of times before he got to the neck.

“Jeonggukie, baby, you can do all that while you fuck me,” Taehyung whined impatiently, pushing his ass back and rubbing it against the younger’s erection.

“You can never take it slow, can you?” Jeongguk chuckled, grabbing the lube again to rub a bit on his cock.

“We are taking it slow, but there are limits to everything,” Taehyung retorted, turning his head a little to look at the other: “I just really need you to fuck me, is that a crime?”

Jeongguk groaned. Taehyung knew how to work him up and make him lose his patience and he was often using that to his advantage, he knew that Jeongguk could hardly resist when he spoke dirty, but in all fairness, it was the other way around as well. Jeongguk was usually pretty soft spoken, even in bedroom he usually just talked sweetly and praised Taehyung a lot and the elder loved that, but Taehyung also knew that the sweet maknae could talk pure filth sometimes and he loved that just as much.

“Ah, shit,” Taehyung let out slowly when Jeongguk finally pushed inside him, going slowly and letting him feel every inch of that amazing cock.

“Fuck, baby, you always feel so fucking good,” Jeongguk panted, resting his forehead against Taehyung’s nape when he was balls deep, giving them both time to adjust and take some breath.

He started moving slowly after a while, wrapping an arm around Taehyung’s waist to keep him close. His mouth was travelling over the elder’s skin, from a cheek to neck, to shoulder and upper part of his arm.

The bedroom was filled with their heavy breathing and occasional moaning, it was far from anything crazy and passionate, but it was a perfect way to start their day feeling completely relaxed and satisfied.

“Oh god, right there,” Taehyung moaned when Jeongguk changed the angle a little and started grinding his hips against his ass, pressing the head of his cock directly against his prostate so he felt tingles of pleasure run through his body.

“I’m close,” Jeongguk informed the other breathlessly, clenching his jaw every time his boyfriend clenched around him as if he wanted to squeeze his release out of him.

“Me too,” Taehyung nodded and turned his head and Jeongguk took the cue, joining their lips in a messy, slightly awkward kiss.

Taehyung started moaning louder when Jeongguk wrapped a hand around his cock and started jerking him off in time with his slow thrusts and it took only one more minute for Taehyung to let out few whimpers and shoot his come over the maknae’s hand and the bedsheet under them.

“Come inside me, we’re gonna take a shower,” Taehyung said as he trembled with the morning orgasm and those words pushed Jeongguk over the edge as well. He thrusted in and out couple more times and then came, filling the elder up with the warm seed.

“Fuck, I love when our days start like this,” Taehyung breathed out and winced a little when Jeongguk pulled out.

“Me too,” the younger nodded and turned Taehyung around, hugging him and kissing him, so they spent few more minutes just making out and cuddling.

When they finally got up, they went to take the shower to wash off the morning escapades and when they got out and got dressed, Jeongguk went to prepare food for Bam while Taehyung went to the kitchen and started making their usual morning drinks. Jeongguk joined him few minutes later and they made breakfast together, which as usually consisted of some banter and lots of giggling and kissing.

“I love you so much,” Jeongguk said with a huge smile after he trapped Taehyung between himself and the kitchen counter after they spent few minutes playfully fighting.

“I love you too,” Taehyung grinned, rubbing the younger’s nape and looking at him lovingly: “I am really happy, you know that?”

“Me too,” Jeongguk reassured him.

They really were so happy, the past few months felt like the best time of their lives, they were past the early stages of relationship, but they possibly loved each other even more than at the beginning and they just felt at peace.

They should have known better though, usually when people felt so happy, a storm was behind the corner and they had no idea that everything was going to change soon.

*

The group had slightly less demanding schedule than usually, so all the members were taking advantage of that, spending time separately and doing their own thing. Taehyung and Jeongguk did that too, but they also dedicated quite a lot of time into being together.

Sometimes they just got in one of their cars, took Bam and Yeontan and drove out of the city to go for a walk. They couldn’t really do this in Seoul, there were just too many people that might recognize them and even though that wouldn’t be such a huge deal, seeing two group mates walking their dogs together, by the company’s rules, it was still something that might draw unwanted attention to their relationship.

“It’s always nice to get out,” Taehyung sighed contently as they were walking through a small forest that they discovered some time ago and where they usually went when they wanted to escape the capital, it was right behind the city so the drive there wasn’t super long and it was also very calm, they hardly ever met anyone there.

“Yeah, it is,” Jeongguk hummed, turning his face up to let his skin soak in a bit of sunshine through the crowns of the trees. It was just beginning of spring, probably his most favourite part of the year. It wasn’t cold anymore, but it wasn’t too hot either, it was the perfect weather to just put on some pants and t-shirt and eventually a hoodie or light jacket.

“Tannie, calm down!” Taehyung called at his dog when he noticed he was barking and growling at Bam.

“To be fair, Bam is annoying him,” Jeongguk chuckled.

“True, but Yeontan should know better, Bamie is younger, he just wants to play.”

“At least they are used to each other now.”

“True, the beginnings were pretty tough, remember when we introduced them when Bam was still a small puppy?” the elder smiled.

“He was already bigger than Tan,” Jeongguk laughed: “But yeah, it was tough sometimes, Tannie was getting jealous.”

“He just likes his space, he is bit of a primadonna, doesn’t like having anyone in his face all the time.”

“Just like his dad,” Jeongguk teased.

“Hey, his dad is not like that!” Taehyung protested and then added with a wink: “And there are people that he doesn’t mind having in his face all the time.”

“Oh, people, huh? Thought it was just one person,” the maknae pretended offence.

“Of course it’s just one person, my previous formulation was wrong,” Taehyung took his hand and intertwined their fingers as they continued walking, keeping an eye on their two dogs that were running around and playing.

“Ugh, who is it?” Jeongguk groaned when his phone vibrated in his pocket.

“That’s why I left my phone in the car.”

“I guess one of us has to be responsible, what would you do with the phone in the car if something happened to one of us or if someone needed to reach us?”

“Babe, sometimes you are too responsible,” the elder sighed.

“But when I don’t reply to your texts, you flip,” Jeongguk pointed out with a playful eye roll as he pulled out his phone: “Oh, Namjoonie-hyung is sending a message in the group chat.”

“What does he want? We don’t have schedule today, right? We didn’t forget about anything.”

“No, we are free,” Jeongguk reassured him, reading the message and frowning slightly: “That’s weird.”

“What is it?”

“Hyung writes that the company calls a special meeting for tomorrow evening when we are done with our scheduled dance practice.”

“What meeting? We already have scheduled meetings regarding album, promo, comeback shows and stuff,” Taehyung raised an eyebrow.

“He doesn’t say what it’s about. Oh, Yoongi-hyung beat us to it, he writes and asks what the meeting is about.”

“And?”

“Namjoon-hyung says that he has no idea, he was just told about the meeting and to let us all know and that’s it,” Jeongguk read what the leader wrote.

“That is definitely weird, Namjoonie-hyung usually knows what’s up before we go to a meeting, even special ones,” Taehyung frowned.

“Maybe it’s nothing serious, it’s probably got something to do with our upcoming album or tour,” Jeongguk shrugged pretty much just to calm down his boyfriend, but he didn’t have a good feeling about this, it was like he was feeling in his gut that something was coming. And from Taehyung’s expression, he could tell that the elder was thinking exactly the same.

Notes:

Here I am with a new fic as always when one ends. I have a thing for canon compliant/divergence fics and this one is gonna be different from all the other one’s I’ve written and I dare to say that I have never really seen a fic with this topic as in one of TK forced to fake date (maybe there are some but I have never stumbled upon them.)
As already the tags and summary say, you can expect quite an angsty ride, but at the same time it will still be very sweet too because TK are established here and as you can see in the first chapter, their relationship is very healthy and they are loved up, so the angst will be mostly connected to the stunt and how TK both emotionally struggle with it. As always, there will be a happy ending, so no worries. Now let me know in the comments your thoughts on the chapter and the overall idea. Take care <3
PS: Just a little fun info – the title of the fic are lyrics from the song You&I by One Direction. The ‘Gods’ is a metaphore to the company, but also the fans and public who think they are entitled to have some control and say in idols’ lives.
