A Way To Your Heart - Chapter 16: Chapter 16

"I'm telling you I'll be fine. Ok? I promise I won't go wander around anywhere else like yesterday."
Taehyung kept following Jungkook around the room. He got all ready to go out but Jungkook didn't allow him to go anywhere.
"No. I doubt you'll get lost again."
Jungkook said while combing his hair.
"But I want to go out."
Taehyung pouted as he crossed his arms.
"Do you know how much trouble you caused here yesterday? They even had to call the cops for you. You're not allowed to go out alone from today. No wonder why your parents never let you go alone. You cause too much trouble and make people worry about you. But if you want to go out that much, you have to go with someone else. Let me contact someone who can guide you around the city. Is that ok?"
Jungkook said as he placed the comb in the drawer and turned behind to face Taehyung who was still standing with a pout.
"I don't want to go out with someone I don't even know. It's better to go alone."
"It's just a tour guide. You can go anywhere if you go with a tour guide without getting lost."
Taehyung hung his head down in silent for some time only to lift it up wearing a wide smile.
"Then how about you go with me?"
"What? Me?"
Jungkook pointed his index finger to himself with a surprise expression. He never expected Taehyung will ask him to go with him.
"Yeah."
Taehyung nodded excitedly.
"You said I'm not allowed to go alone and have to go with someone else. And I don't want to go with someone I don't even know. Plus, you're the only person I know here. So why don't you go with me?"
"But why me? I'm also going to go somewhere else. I'm just saying you should go with someone who knows this place well so that you won't get lost again."
"That's why I'm telling you to go with me. Ok... See... Even if you don't go with me, you're still going to go somewhere of course, right? So what's the problem in going with me? And if I go with you, you'll not get worried about me getting lost again since I'm going to be with you all the time."
"Who said I worried about you? Weren't you the one who wanted to go alone?"
"Weren't you the one who told me not to go out alone?"
"That's because you caused trouble."
"That's why I'm asking you to go with me."
Jungkook let out a long sigh. He can never win against Taehyung.
"Ok ok. Fine."
He could only agreed to go with Taehyung.
"Really? Yayy..!!"
Taehyung jumped happily while clapping when Jungkook agreed to him.
"Don't get too excited yet. My left shoulder is still paining, you know that?"
Taehyung tried to look somewhere else except at Jungkook because of course he knew the reason why Jungkook said so. He found himself sleeping with his head on Jungkook's left shoulder again when he woke up.
"I told you it's a habit. I can't help it."
Taehyung said with a pout.
"Fine. I'll ask them for extra pillow from tonight so that you can hold it while sleeping without disturbing me."
Jungkook said as he put on his black black cap and walked towards the door.
"You're not coming?"
He turned back when Taehyung didn't followed him.
Taehyung flinched when he realized he was staring at Jungkook. He wanted to slap himself why he couldn't take his eyes off from Jungkook. Of course his eyes noticed how handsome Jungkook looked in all black with a black leather jacket, black ripped jeans that held his thighs tightly, big black boots, black cap that covered almost half of his glowing face. But how his mind wanted to deny his eyes and those flips he could feel in his chest when Jungkook's eyes landed on him.
"Of course I'm coming."
Taehyung tried to sound natural as he followed Jungkook.
The day was much more fun and exciting than Taehyung expected to be. Taehyung could roam around the city and go to other different places that he couldn't visit the other day. Jungkook was unexpectedly entertaining to go around with. Jungkook did argued back at first when Taehyung gave the camera to him to film him but how can anyone would say no to Taehyung's puppy eyes? Of course Jungkook took many pictures and videos of Taehyung who was happily walking in front of him. But the camera didn't fail to hide the smile on his face behind it.
"Jungkook..! Come here."
Taehyung waved his hand and called for Jungkook who was walking behind while filming Taehyung.
Jungkook made sure to record that wide smile on Taehyung before he run towards him. He looked at the direction where Taehyung was pointing his finger only to find it was just at the small icecream store.
"Do you want icecream?"
Jungkook asked and Taehyung instantly nodded his head with a grin.
He could just chuckle as Taehyung already started choosing his flavour.

The sky looked darker as the light of the day almost drained away with the sanking sun.
They were already tired but Taehyung still didn't want to go back. He was still tipsy from drinking at a restaurant earlier. Jungkook tried to stop him from drinking but he kept saying he only wanted to taste a strong drink since he had never tried it before. But look at him, he was already drunk with only one small glass. When Jungkook asked him to go back to their hotel, all he said was he wasn't drunk and still insisted to go somewhere. Jungkook was a bit drunk too, but his alcohol tolerance was much higher than Taehyung so he was fine. So he couldn't do anything but to bring him to a place, the Triton Fountain.
"Woah..!"
Taehyung almost dropped his jaws at the beautiful night view of the fountain with the water droplets reflecting different lights.
Jungkook was trying to help Taehyung who was walking towards the fountain with his feet wobbling but the other was already in his own world to noticed what Jungkook was trying to do.
Taehyung started to run around giggling, thinking Jungkook was playing with him when the other chased after him.
"Taehyung ! Stop ! Don't run please. You'll fall down."
Jungkook was starting to get worried that Taehyung might get hurt if he fell down while running.
"No."
Taehyung turned back and grinned but was walking backwards.
"You're trying to cheat me by saying I'll fall down right? I won't fall down so I'm not going to stop until you catch me."
He stucked his tongue out before he turned away and start running again.
"Ok fine. Will you stop if I catch you?"
Jungkook sighed when Taehyung shouted a yes.
Even he was feeling a bit tipsy from drinking earlier but he had to stop the other before he gets hurt so he had no choice but to chase after the other.
Taehyung giggled when Jungkook chased after him and tried to run away but he was soon caught under two arms that wrapped around him from behind.
"Caught you. Now, stop running. Ok?"
"No. Let's play once more."
Taehyung kept giggling but his body was too weak to free himself from Jungkook's arms.
"No more playing. Let's go back."
Jungkook spoke calmly trying to help Taehyung to stand properly by hugging him from back.
"No. I don't want to go back. You know, if I go back, I have to see that big bunny again."
Taehyung pouted.
"Big bunny?"
"Yeah. That big bunny Jungkook."
Jungkook chuckled when Taehyung called him as big bunny.
"You don't want to see that big bunny that much?"
"It's not like I don't want to see him. But he's just annoying so I don't want to see him."
"What?"
Jungkook couldn't help but chuckle.
"Ok... you won't see that big bunny today. So let's go back ok?"
"No."
"Why?"
"I want to stand there."
Jungkook looked at where Taehyung was pointing his finger only to find the other was talking about the basin of the fountain.
"No. You can't stand there."
"But I want to."
Taehyung whined.
"You can't. Let's go back ok?"
"I want to play with the water."
"Taehyung, please. People are looking at us. Let's go back."
"I don't care. I want to stand there and play the water with mermaids."
"Mermaids? From where? There's no mermaid here."
Jungkook was having a hard time trying to persuade Taehyung to go back to their hotel.
"Taehyung, you're too drunk. Let's go."
"I'm not drunk."
Taehyung managged to wiggle himself out from Jungkook's arms and ran away.
"Taehyung !"
Jungkook ran towards Taehyung as quickly as he could who already was about to climb up the fountain.
Jungkook quickly grabbed Taehyung's wrist and pulled him back before the other could climb up but only for Taehyung to stumble and fall over Jungkook with his hands on his shoulders while Jungkook's hands wrapping around his waist. Both of them froze when they found their faces really closed to each other.
Maybe because they were drunk, even the sound of water that sprayed up from the fountain became inaudible when their eyes locked with each other as if they could hear only the sounds of their racing heartbeats.
"Why are so handsome?"
Taehyung blurted out while staring at Jungkook.
"What?"
Jungkook was surprised to hear that word from Taehyung.
"I said you are handsome."
Jungkook could just laugh when Taehyung said it again while pouting.
"Ok?? I know that. So..??"
Taehyung kept staring at him and then cupped Jungkook's face with his hands.
"But you're annoying."
Taehyung smiled as he let go of Jungkook's face and wrapped his arms around his neck.
"What are you doing with my hair?"
Jungkook smiled Taehyung started to play with his hair.
"It's soft."
"Yours is also soft. See?"
Jungkook chuckled as he ruffled Taehyung's long hair.
Taehyung tilted his head at Jungkook's touch and smiled. His eyes became blurry but he could still see Jungkook smiling at him while strocking his hair gently. He could feel the way Jungkook was holding him in his waist with those arm tightly and the way Jungkook was staring at him with his big sparkly eyes made him feel more comfortable to be in his arms.
"You're annoying sometimes but you're still so nice to me sometimes too."
"Am I?"
Jungkook chuckled.
"You ! Stop giving me reasons to like you ok? I hate you."
Jungkook just stood there, tightly holding Taehyung who already fell asleep in his arms, still trying to process what Taehyung just said.
The night was beautiful, even the water fountain look elegant with the sparkling water droplets reflecting the lights.
But all those beauty seemed to be shrank in the beauty of the person who was sleeping peacefully in his arms.
