Dear one ||Taekook|| - Chapter 12: Chapter 12

' Yes my fluffy bear'
Taehyung's stomach did a stupid flip at that..his cheeks painting in red...his heartbeats rose with each giggle that left Jungkook's mouth after that...he himself forgetting about the world around him as he slowly got lost in that beautiful voice...
On the other side.... Jungkook was giggling like a teenager...his mind filling with the cute pouty image of Taehyung as he teased him....His mind savouring all these moments.. treasuring them deep down his heart so that atleast the memories of his bear would be with him till his last breath...
' Hey fluffy?' Jungkook called after a while...not getting any response from the other side 'You there?'
' Yes my amour' Taehyung smiled...the name feeling too sweet in his mouth..that he felt like saying it again and again
' That does sound good' Jungkook mumbled...
' Ofcourse it will..after all am calling you' Taehyung sassed making the elder chuckle..but didn't miss the way his heart fluttered evertime he heard Jungkook's soothing voice
' Ok then bear.... I should go now...tell Yoon to text me when she wakes up also that I'll miss her...and-'
' Will you miss me?' Taehyung asked cutting off Jungkook mid sentence throwing him off guard...
Taehyung's eyes widened when he realized what he said what's wrong with you Tae!!
' I... didn't mean..' Taehyung started rambling as he chided himself in his head for asking something like this...he doesn't know what got in his head... 'Hyung..I..I ju-'
' I miss you Tae' Jungkook said....
Taehyung's breath hitched when he heard that...his mind clogging with the pain that Jungkook's voice carried...an unknown feeling settling at the pit of his stomach..his heart yerning to say something which his voice couldn't decipher
' Good night fluffy' Jungkook said
' Good night Amour'  Taehyung looked at the phone screening... his brows furrowed as he tried to calm himself
🥀🥀🥀🥀🥀
' Yoongi Hyung'
Yoongi quickly wiped off his tears when he heard someone calling him....his eyes were still fixed on the place where Jin stood a minute ago....
He slowly turned around to see Jimin standing behind him
' Yes Jimin shi...you need something?' Yoongi asked
' Hyung...just call me Jimin...' Jimin smiled lightly ' And I heard what Jin hyung told you'
' Jimin I-'
' I know it's nothing related to me...and also that it was wrong of me to eavesdrop...but hyung.. don't take whatever Jin hyung said to heart...he is just hurt..and you know how he behaves when he is in pain...' Jimin sighed ' Hyung I know we haven't talked much... scratch that we haven't even said a proper hello to each other...but hyung.. Don't think that you are alone... You must feel suffocated with all these... I know how painful it is for you... But don't let it pile up inside you hyung...just let it all out'
Yoongi blinked as a lone tear left his eyes...he bit on to his lips to prevent any voice from escaping
Jimin's eyes softened seeing the struggling male...he hesitantly raised his hand.. pulling the elder close as he hugged him..his hand running up and down the elder's back calming him down as Yoongi let all his pain out
' I can't leave him Jimin... I still love him'
Jimin just hugged him closer hearing that...both of them missing the way Jin's painful eyes were looking at them
🥀🥀🥀🥀🥀
Almost five months passed by after Jin's wedding....he was now living with Hobi..at their apartment which was close to Hobi's dance academy....both of them moving on with their lives...or better to say... Jin trying to reciprocate Hobi's feelings...
Namjoon had moved out with Jimin...and now only Taehyung was left with his eomma and appa....
Yoongi had stopped hanging out with the Kim's..he would meet Taehyung once in a while when goes to pick Yoona up after college or when Tae comes home to take Yoona out for dates... But Jimin did keep his words...he used to meet Yoongi whenever he could...they used to hangout a bit...but Yoongi never spoke much...even though deep down they were becoming very good friend.... Jimin tried his best to cheer Yoongi up...he did Everything he could and finally he succeeded when Yoongi broke down completely pouring his heart out in front of Jimin and accidentally telling him about Jungkook... But Yoongi made him promise to not let Tae know about this
Taehyung was nearing his graduation..only a month was left and he was tooo excited to take over his appa's company after that.... But the major change that happened was with Taehyung and Jungkook....
Their calls started changing from once a week to daily once..... Taehyung would forget about anything and everything once Jungkook calls him....which never went unnoticed by Yoona.... A bad feeling settling in her whenever she see them talking or whenever Taehyung talks about Jungkook to her....She never missed the shine in Taehyung's eyes whenever he talked about Jungkook
' Tae' Yoona sighed...she was with him out on a date in a near by restaurant but Taehyung was sulking ' Are you ok?'
' Yes Yoon...am fine' He said...his eyes wandering off to the phone again and again
' Why are you not eating anything?' She asked
' Am not hungry anymore...am done eating' He said.. trying his best to smile...
' Tae...are you hiding something from me?'
' No...why would I hide anything from you? You are my best friend' Taehyung said nonchalantly as he opened his phone again
Best friend? Yoona's heart dropped...
' Amour called?' Taehyung suddenly asked...
Yoona looked at him with hurt eyes...this was the first thing that came out of Taehyung's mouth after coming out for date..all this while it was Yoona who kept on talking or asking him something..
' Oppa called me just before you came to pick me up' She said softly.. trying not to let her emotions take over her mind
' Still didn't even text me' Taehyung grumbled as he drank the wine
' Tae... can I ask you something?'
' Why are you taking permission...you know you can ask me anything' Taehyung smiled
' Why do you call him your Amour?' Yoona could feel the bitterness rising...her mind was clouding with negative thoughts but she didn't want to assume things which will make her hate her oppa
' Because hyung asked me to call him that and never said his name...' Taehyung said ' And yeah..he also said not to search for it's meaning... when I told him that I was planning on asking you'
' He asked you to call him that?' Yoona asked as her eyes widened...
' I think we should go home' Yoona spoke up ' Am tired'
' Yeah let's go' Taehyung stood up...his every action unknowingly hurting the poor girl
You were never this eager to end our date Tae.... She thought as she followed him out
' Hey Tae' A loud voice stopped them...
' Hobi hyung' Taehyung ran towards Hobi and Jin who walked towards them with a wide smile
' How are you both?' Jin smiled ' How are you Yoon?' His voice softened
' Am..fine oppa' Yoona faked a smile...
' You know kids..we should hang out moree...you look so lifeless Yoon... Are you studying your aas off the whole day?' Hobi asked ' Don't get too worked up ok?'
' No no.. it's nothing like that..am just tired' Yoona smiled...all this while Taehyung had his hand in his pocket..every now and then pulling his phone out checking for any messages...which didn't go unnoticed by Jin
' Are you waiting for someone's call Tae?' Jin asked
' Oh..no hyung' Taehyung doesn't know why he lied...'I was jus-' Just then his phone rang... A wide smile erupting on his lips....
Yoona felt her heart break seeing the name Amour flashing on the screen...she stared at Taehyung who looked happy for the first time that evening
' Am leaving guyss..bye Yoon' Taehyung hastily pecked her cheeks as he ran out from there leaving Hobi and Jin shocked
' Why did he leave like that?? He should have taken you with him' Jin said looking at the retreating back of Taehyung
' Who called him that made him this happy?' Hobi frowned..his eyes darting towards Yoona who looked at him with a pained expression
' It's my oppa'
🥀🥀🥀🥀🥀
' Hey fluffy' Jungkook smiled as he said into his phone
' Don't talk to me' Taehyung huffed as he sat in his car... keeping the phone on the passenger seat.. putting it on speaker
' Ok..then am hanging up' Jungkook teased
' Yaaa... Don't you have a heart?!' Taehyung yelled ' Here I was waiting for your call all day and you called this late and instead of making it up to me you are planning on hanging up?'
' You were waiting for me?' Jungkook asked lowly
' Ofcourse I was....' Taehyung pouted ' See!! You didn't even think that I'll be waiting...You really don't love your fluffy even a bit'
' I love you Tae' A warm smile crept up Jungkook's face as his eyes stung...I love you so so much
Taehyung felt his breath getting stuck in his lungs as his heart fluttered...his chest swelling with a new kind of feeling... his insides tingled as he blushed furiously...His heart beat rose as he bit his lips trying to control the squeak that was trying to slip past his lips...A shy smile on his lips as he parked his car in front of his home... What are you doing to me Amour
' Hyung...' Taehyung called softly
' Yes my bear'
' When will I meet you?'
' You want to meet me?'
' I would love to' Taehyung smiled.. not knowing about the tears that were leaving his hyung's eyes
' Then I'll surely come to meet you'
' When?'
'When the Earth will rest in a blanket of white..when the stars fall down as icy crystals when the night gets longer... I'll meet you in the city of lights...under the shine of a thousand sparks'
' You promise right?' Taehyung asked
' I do'
' Good night hyung.... I hope to see you soon my Amour'
' Good night my fluffy... I'll meet you soon'
Taehyung got out of his car... walking towards the door when he haulted his steps...he raised his eyes and looked at the stars
I'll wait for the day when we will meet under the shine of a thousand sparks Amour
🥀🥀🥀🥀🥀
'I promise you bear.... I'll meet you there someday' Jungkook said wiping off his tears as he turned around in his bed.... ' Even if I can't show you me... I can still watch you from afar.... '
🥀🥀🥀🥀🥀
' Yoon...' Jin looked at the girl in the backseat...as Hobi threw him a concerned glance...
After Taehyung left... Hobi offered to drop her home.. not wanting to let her go home alone at this time of night...she had been silent the whole ride..which was very new to both of them
' Yes oppa'
' Are you ok princess?'
' Yes...just tired' Yoona said looking out of the window
Hobi just held Jin's hand... running his thumb over the back of his hand in circles...
Finally they reached her home and the second Yoona got out she was pulled into a warm embrace
' Where were you Yoon? I was so worried'
Jin whipped his head towards the side on hearing the voice only to see a concerned Yoongi holding onto Yoona...
' Taehyung had already reached home and you didn't...I was getting so scared' Yoongi kept on rambling
' Tae called?' Yoona asked hopefully
' Noo Kook called... He told me that Tae was home almost half an hour ago... And who are you wi-oh' Yoongi stopped when he peeked into the car
' Hello Hoseok shi' Yoongi bowed as Hobi got out of the car
' Don't be so formal with me Yoongi...it makes me feel more guilty' Hobi said taking Yoongi's hand
' There is nothing to be guilty...infact..you should consider yourself lucky...you got someone like Jin...' Yoongi said smiling weakly ' Not all are as lucky as you'
The longing in Yoongi's voice was standing out as Hobi looked back into the car only to see Jin wiping off his tears
' Jinnie' Hobi called ' Come out'
Jin silently got down from the car as he came and stood beside Hobi ' You guys need to talk... I'll be waiting in the car... after just parking it to the side yeah?' Hobi pecked the side of Jin's head as he got in the car starting it
' Ji-'
' I don't have anything to talk' Jin cut him off
' Am sorry...Jin' Yoongi sighed...his heart heavy with regret and pain
' You are in no-'
' It was Taehyung' Yoona spoke up suddenly making both Jin and Yoongi look at her
' What?' Yoongi frowned
' Jungkook oppa..loved Taehyung right?' She asked..her eyes glistening under the moonlight
' What are you saying Yoon?' Jin tried to play it off when he saw Yoongi going pale ' There is no-'
' I should have understood it.... Oppa is not the one who will carelessly leave me with anyone..but that day when I took him to the cafe to meet Tae...he just left after saying that he approves of this relationship whereas in reality he didn't even talk to him once... Oppa left the night I accepted Tae. Oppa was crying..he was in pain because his love was already someone's else..he left because he didn't want to ruin their relationship' A sob escaped her lips ' And no one ever cared to tell me th-that..that someone was me....that her own sister was the cause of all his pain till now..that he left so that I can be happy'
' Yoon' Jin said trying to calm her down but she was not listening
' I hurt my oppa.... It's Taehyung whom he loved' Yoona cried ' Why didn't you tell me? I would never have even looked at Tae if anyone of you had told me...'
' That's what Jungkook never wanted' Yoongi sighed 'He saw the way you both look at each other...he saw how he had no place in both of yours lives...he just left because if he stayed back..he would have confessed to Tae..and you would have hated him...he knew if he had stayed back then everything would have been ruined'
' Everything is ruined oppa' Yoona exclaimed ' Everything is ruined... I ruined oppa's life... My Jungkook oppa was never fond of these strict rules...he was always scared of blood and loud noises which included gunshots and bombs..he never ever wanted to be anywhere near where he would have to see injured or dead people..he can't stand blood..he..he wanted to be a singer..not a soldier..and now..now he is at a place from where he could be ordered to move to the borders...he would be asked to fight..he would be asked to handle guns and see injured men all around him..he would have to work according to a fucking clock!! Serving your country is good...but my oppa was not ready for that..he is in a place that was one of his biggest nightmares..he was going to reject the offer to join the army..he was going to fill in his application for some music company's audition..but look where he is because of me!!'
' Yoon... Jungkook wanted you and Tae to be happy together... Taehyung loves y-'
' Taehyung loves Jungkook!' Yoona looked at Jin who stilled...
' Are you hearing yourselves Yoon?' Yoongi's throat went dry
' Taehyung likes me' Yoona said wiping her tears ' But he loves oppa.. Tae is physically with me..but his heart remains with my oppa...we have been with each other for years now.. and look where am standing in our relationship...oppa and he just talked through phone for only months and see to whom Taehyung belongs to...'
' Baby please' Yoongi held her hand
' Oppa was right... Love confuses us...we get confused while finding love...but the feeling of having our dear one is truly rare...Tae also got that feeling..he is just too naive to understand that... He is so innocent that he is not understanding what he is doing' Yoona took in a deep breath... ' But now I'll help him get out of this....I will make him understand his true feelings'
' What are you going to do Yoon?' Jin frowned
' Am going to give my oppa his smile back...am going to give my oppa his dear one'
Yoona ran back inside leaving a shocked Yoongi and Jin behind....
Jin felt guilt creeping up him as he thought of what Taehyung was doing... he knew that his brother still had no idea of what was going on..but that doesn't mean he can hurt Yoona like this
' Yoongi' Jin called.. not knowing what to say.. ' Am sorry for what Tae-'
But before Jin could apologize Yoongi cut him off with the cruelest of words that ever came from Yoongi's mouth... Leaving a hurt Jin alone in the dark he dashed back in behind his sister
Jin walked back towards his car where Hobi was waiting for him as Yoongi's words rang in his ears
' You Kims have ruined our happy family.... first you..now your brother!! If something goes wrong with my Yoon and Kook...I swear I'll bring you all down on your knees begging for your dear lives Kim ... remember that!'
🥀🥀🥀🥀🥀
' You fine?' Hobi asked when Jin silently entered the car
' Hoba..' He called softly.. turning towards him
' You want something?' Hobi asked frowning when he saw the way Jin was staring at him
' I want... I want to start a new life with you..I want to leave my past behind' Jin smiled lightly
' Hyung... Why... I mean... anything happened? You don't have to force yourse-' Hobi's eyes widened when a pair of soft lips came in contact with his own...his eyes closing as he took in the moment
' Is this enough to prove you that am not forcing anything on me?' Jin smiled moving back only to be pulled into a deep kiss....
🥀🥀🥀🥀🥀
It was the next day... Taehyung and Yoona were out in the sunflower fields walking in between the flowers holding each other's hands swinging it back and forth as they walked...
Taehyung had a wide smile on as he held her hands in his own...his mind in a frenzy as he contemplated on how to ask her if she was ready to marry him...
He had talked to his eomma and appa and they were way too happy for their son knowing that he is ready to take the responsibility of the Company and also to start a new life with his love...
Where as on the other hand....Yoona was in a dilemma...she didn't want to leave Tae... but she knew that she has no right over him anymore... nor did she ever had....all these months that she had with Taehyung was the result of the sacrifice Jungkook did for her.....
' Yoon' Taehyung called pulling her out of her thoughts
' Yes Tae' She smiled...
"What am I to you? Taehyung asked as he interwined their fingers
'You are my dear one' Came the reply in a instant making Taehyung look at her
'Dear one? I thought you would say that "Tae you are my one and only forever love whom I wish to marry"Now what's with this dear one?' He asked swinging their hands
'A day will come when you understand this Tae... A day when you will find your real happinesses. Your dear one...the one who I wish was me' Yoona had a sad smile
'You are already my everything Yoon' Taehyung happily exclaimed skipping his way ahead. missing the small whisper that lingered in the air
'Everything.....except your dear one'
After their small outing Taehyung was back home... thinking deeply about what Yoona said
' Dear one? What's that now? She is ready to marry me right? I mean..we don't have to rush..she can take her time...and I can wait.. but she won't say no right?' He frowned...his lips being nibbled as he thought
Just then his phone rang....a wide smile spreading over his lips as he pulled the phone towards his ear
' Hii my amour' Taehyung chirped up as he laid back on his bed
' Hi my fluffy.. what were you doing?'
' Thinking' Taehyung smiled
' Of what?'
' Of you' Taehyung laughed not knowing the effect his words were having on Jungkook.. ' Hyung I want to ask you something'
' Y-yeah?'
' Hyung' Taehyung continued missing the stutter in Jungkook's voice ' You are my dear one'
' You are my dear one'
Jungkook's breath hitched when he heard that... his hearth thumping against his chest as he froze at his place
' W-what?'
' You are my dear one...what does that mean?' Taehyung asked...
Jungkook smacked himself as he replied 'Why do you ask?'
' Tell me hyungiie' Taehyung whinned
' Hmmm how will I make you understand that' Jungkook said thinking... ' Tae...dear one... it's someone...who can love you even when you think you are an unlovable mess...dear one is a person who will hold you close in every turn of your life... Dear one is a person who can sacrifice himself for you but will always say that ''You are worth everything'' Jungkook smiled as he continued ' Taehyung ah... It's like the  love between the sun and the moon...the sun dies every night so the moon can breath...and the moon dies every morning so the sun can reign...they keep on chasing... rarely meeting..but once a while they catch up and they kiss and the world stares in awe at their eclipse'
' So is it better than being someone's love?' Taehyung asked innocently
Jungkook smiled at this as he said 'My fluffy... Always remember that... Being someone's love... someone's everything can make you feel precious...but nothing could ever be compared to the feeling you get when they call you..their dear one''
' Do you have a dear one hyung?'
'I do' Jungkook smiled... Tell him Jungkook...tell him His mind kept on screaming at him....yet he held back..again ' Why did you suddenly asked about it Tae?'
' Hyung...Yoon said that am her dear one'
That one statement was enough to break Jungkook's heart...his eyes stinging with tears as his hands flew to his mouth to contain in any sound from escaping..as Taehyung's happy voice was heard from the other side..
' Am so happy hyung....am her dear one' Taehyung squeakled ' hyungie am going to propose to her... I'll marry her soon hyung...am so happy...ok hyung am hanging up now... I'll call you tomorrow' And without even waiting for a reply Taehyung ended the call....
Jungkook curled into a ball on his bed as loud sobs left his mouth...his heart clenching in pain as he continued to wail....his roommates and friends running into his room hearing his cries.. pulling him up..making him sit straight... asking him what's wrong... but all Jungkook could do was cry...cry till no tears were left as his mind chanted just one name...as his heart craved for his love...his body jerked with each heart wrenching sob that left him as a big truth slapped him across his face
You were so into this dream of yours Jungkook that you forgot that one day you would have to wake up
