Dear one ||Taekook|| - Chapter 8: Chapter 8

' Taehyung ahh' Jin yelled as he closed the main door behind him...his eyes still fixed onto his phone as he walked in ' I have somehow managed to do that delivery on time...thanks to Seohan or els-what happened? Jimin ah is that blood?' Jin kept back his phone in his pocket rushing forward when he saw Hobi and Jimin cleaning up the floor
' H-hyung' Jimin ran towards him crying as Jin hugged him
' Where is Tae?' Jin asked.. looking around
' Hyung am sorry..I d-didn't know' Jimin hugged him tightly
' Where is my brother?' Jin's voice hardened
' Jinnie... I'll tell you' Hobi sighed
🥀🥀🥀🥀🥀
'Please.... Do whatever you want with me... Don't hurt anyone else' Taehyung cried holding on to the man who had a devilish look in his eyes
' The greatest pain is when you see your loved ones suffer in front of your eyes' The man grumbled...his voice muffled by the mask ' And I want you to be in pain every single day'
' I beg you please' Taehyung cried as he looked at the crying figure of his love in front of him...
' Tae...' The shaky voice called.... Tears brimming down their cheeks ' Promise me... that y-you will find your dear one...'
' Please no' Taehyung held on to the man's legs who kicked him on his stomach for the nth time...he coughed out blood as his eyes met the fear filled ones of his love
' I love y-' A loud bang was heard followed by a thud as a body fell to the ground... Blood oozing out of its stomach as Taehyung stared wide eyed
The man smirked as he raised his gun towards the bleeding body as Taehyung lunged forward
Nooo!!
' Tae? Taehyung look at me...you are safe...Tae please'
Taehyung snapped open his eyes when he felt two arms pulling him into a hard chest...a hand ran over his back soothing his nerves as he tried to even his breathing
' You are fine Tae....you are ok...' Jungkook continued to whisper holding him close
Taehyung pulled back as he calmed down a bit... Jungkook immediately cupped his cheeks... stroking his thumb over his soft skin
' You are fine' Jungkook whispered again..their eyes  never leaving their gaze
Taehyung could.. for the first time... decipher what the elder's eyes held... The deep dark orbs which reminded him of someone was now filled with fear... A fear similar to the one he felt on that night
He saw the way Jungkook was panicking..his silence was scaring the hell out of his bodyguard....he could see tears brimming the doe eyes that was frantically trying to bring out any reaction from him
Taehyung turned his head towards the side.. looking at the photo kept on the night stand... Jungkook following his gaze...a huge storm building up in his head
' Tae please say something' Jungkook's voice broke
' Leave' Taehyung finally opened his mouth
' What?' Jungkook frowned...
' Leave me JK' Taehyung said...his face void of emotions ' Leave or else he will kill you too...'
' Am not leaving you'
' You are my angel JK...and angels don't live in hell' Taehyung continued ' My life is a hell created by him... He took away everything I had... leaving me to burn in pain... He will continue to harm whoever I hold close to me... and I don't want to drag you into this.... I have seen enough deaths for a life time...I don't want to see yours too'
' I don't care how much pain I have to go through..but I will never leave you Taehyung... I chose this life for me and you have no right to tell me to step back..' Jungkook said determined as he pulled the boy's face closer
' He will come back' Taehyung released a shaky breath
' I'll fight him' Jungkook stared into his almond orbs
' He will harm us' Taehyung whispered
' I'll protect us' Jungkook's breath fanned over the cherry lips of the younger making him close his eyes
'You will die' Taehyung's heart squeezed as tears left his eyes
' Only after I kill him' Jungkook's eyes darted down towards the soft plump lips
' He will kill me' Taehyung's mouth parted...their lips hovering over each other's
' He will see his perish' Jungkook leaned forward closing the gap between them as his lips landed against the pillowy ones of the CEO.... Both their eyes closed as they felt a surge of electricity pass through their nerves... Taehyung closed his eyes..his heart beating at a wild pace... His mind screaming him to pull back where as his heart held him at place... He knew what he was doing...it was nothing rushed... it was not something happening in the heat of the moment...it was something both of them had always wanted.. ever since the first day in Busan... Taehyung raised his hand..his fingers over his bodyguard's cheeks as his thumb ran over his perfect jaw line... There was no movement..just their lips pressed against each other...a way of making each other realize that they are not alone...
Taehyung was the first to pull back.. his hand still over the elder's cheeks... Taehyung saw the other flutter open his eyes...his heart skipping a beat the moment it met those galaxy orbs...
Jungkook didn't know what to say.... He has always wanted this..his years old longing for just a mere touch of those lips were fulfilled today..but he was scared.. he knew he was the one to initiate the kiss or peck or whatever it is...the feeling of which will always be treasured inthe bottom of his heart...but what will Taehyung think of him now... what if Taehyung was not reacting because he was shocked...he just woke up after a panic attack and a night mare and now this
Taehyung saw how the shine of those eyes reduced as dread filled it slowly
' Heyy' Taehyung called slowly making Jungkook look at him...
' Am s-' Jungkook was cut off when a finger was held over his lips
' I knew what I was doing' Taehyung smiled ' I wanted this...'
' So you don't regret it?' Jungkook asked innocently
' I don't know what we have between us is called... I honestly have no idea..but whatever it is am not regretting any part of it'
' That means you won't hate me right?'
Taehyung's heart broke seeing the innocence with with Jungkook was talking to him...he was nothing near the hard and cold bodyguard now..he was just a soft being...an angel as Taehyung would like to call
' I never did' Taehyung said softly ' I was just irritated by everything happening around me.. I was just caught up because of my past'
Jungkook looked at the warm eyes which had been imprinted in his heart for years ' Tae..'
' Hmm'..
' I want to be your angel' Jungkook hesitantly held his hand ' Not the one who is torn and broken...nor the one moulded out by people... I want to be your guardian angel..who would protect you from all the evil in this world'
Taehyung felt a rush of butterflies in his tummy...his heart fluttering as a small smile spread over his rosy lips
' You can be my guardian angel my marshmallow' Taehyung said making Jungkook laugh
Taehyung eyes widened as he realized one thing...this is the first time he is seeing the elder smiling...
' hey sweets' Taehyung called
' Yes Tae' Jungkook smiled
' You lied when you said that happiness suits me' Taehyung said making Jungkook's smile falter ' Because it suits you more than anyone in this whole world'
Jungkook was at a loss of words...the pace at which things flipped... he couldn't even get a hold of anything that's happening anymore
He just stared at the beautiful human in front of him..their eyes conversing in a language of their own
Their sweet moment broke when a panicking Jin came running in
' Tae?' Jin called out..his face all tear striken as he rushed to the male sitting on the bed pulling him into his embrace ' Are you ok baby? Am sorry Hyung was not there for you'
Jungkook stood up and moved to the side
' Am fine hyungie' Taehyung smiled making Jin freeze
Hyungie'' Tae?' He frowned
' Am trying to leave my past' Taehyung said lightly 'I can't forget the pain that I went through.... But I think it's time for me to keep my promise... And yes I know my life is still in danger... But I trust my guardian angel too' Taehyung said looking at Jungkook who now had a bashful smile
' Did I miss something?' Jin asked looking between his brother and his bodyguard
' No' Taehyung shrugged ' Oh hyung... before all that happened I was actually planning to call you'
' Why?'
' I wanted to ask you about the last shipping'
' I came here actually to tell that...' Jin sighed ' The delivery is done..our clients got the products... thanks to Seohan..he came on time... '
' Thankgod I thought we lost the deal'
' Not when your hyungie is here' Jin sassed only to hear a scoff from behind him
' What is it brat... respect your elders now' Jin glared at the boy who just rolled his eyes ' Yaaa how could you roll your eyes at me? At your hyung? I see you were not getting proper education all these years... Don't worry I'll bring you back on track'
' Oh no no Jin hyung' Jungkook looked at him terrified 'I don't think that's needed'
' But I do' Jin glared at him
Jungkook saw the way Taehyung was staring at them both...he walked closer as he caressed his bread cheeks 'I know you have a lot of question... I'll tell you everything when time comes...now get some rest yeah'
Taehyung bit his lips in an attempt to hide the wide grin from spreading over his lips as he nodded slightly
Jin looked at both them...a calm feeling in his mind as he stood up
' Take rest kid.. I'll get going now'
' You too hyung' Taehyung smiled as Jin nodded
' Am also coming hyung..' Jungkook looked at Tae one last time before going out
Taehyung took the picture out from the night stand'I didn't do anything wrong right?' He asked looking at the picture... ' I will never forget what you told me that day.... I miss you Yoon'
🥀🥀🥀🥀🥀
' Jin hyung...how is he?' Hobi was on his feet the instant he saw Jin and Jungkook coming downstairs
Namjoon had already arrived when sobbing Jimin called  and was now present with them
' He is fine now....' Jin said eyeing Jimin who was standing next to Hobi
' Jimin shi where is the box?' Jungkook asked...his demeanor all back to the cold self
' I put it in the dustbin' Namjoon said ' Why?'
' I might need that' Jungkook shrugged
' JK I honestly didn't know that something like that was in the box...am sorry' Jimin looked like he would burst into tears any moment
' It's ok Jimin shi... I'll find out the one who sent this very soon' Jungkook said suggestively
I won't let you reach to me... I won't let to spoil my plan
🥀🥀🥀🥀🥀
' I knew this would happen' Yoongi said plopping down on the chair
It was already weekend... Jungkook had taken Yoongi to his doctor and was now in some cafe on their way back home
' What? We are not a thing hyung...we just kissed once ok?' Jungkook groaned frustratedly
' Just once? You had this much patience in you?'
' Yesterday we had a long meeting about Tae's clients...and after that we just had a take out and then directly went to bed... He was still sleeping when I left today morning' Jungkook said sipping on his coffee
' Ah..thats why' Yoongi teased
' I didn't tell him yet... anything about me'
' Do you think it's time?' Yoongi leaned forward
' I don't know... I do want to tell him..but hyung I don't want to bring my hope up just because we kissed... It can just be a one time thing...he doesn't even love me'
' Jungkook... You only told me that this is not all about love... '
' I know..' Jungkook sighed
' Can you tell me why we are waiting here? Can't we just already go back?' Yoongi started whining again 'You know I could have taken a na-'
' Hey Yoongi'
Yoongi froze when he heard the voice...his face going pale as he turned around in his seat
' Long time no see' Jin smiled at him...
' Jin?' Yoongi was on his feet hugging the male in front of him
' You are not angry with me?'Jin asked pulling back
' Why should I be? You are still my same old Jin hyung' Yoongi had his gummy smile on display
' Cute' Jin smiled seeing Yoongi who was now blushing slightly
' Woahh Yoongi hyung is blushing?' Jungkook snickered earning a glare from the said male
' Ok guys... I'll get going...Tae is waiting for me' Jungkook said standing up
' Ofcourse' Jin scoffed as the younger stood up
' Be safe kid' Yoongi patted his back as Jungkook nodded before leaving
' So...how are the plannings going?' Yoongi smirked looking at Jin
🥀🥀🥀🥀🥀
' I thought you forgot' Taehyung was sitting on the couch and his legs folded with an angry cute pout
' How can I? And am early..its not even 12' Jungkook looked at him bewildered
' I don't care' Taehyung stood up
' What's with you today?'
' Why didn't you tell me before leaving?' Taehyung glared at him again...
Jungkook smiled as he leaned down pecking on the cute pout making the younger blush
' So much for making me go head over heels for you first' Jungkook snickered
' Aren't you already head over heels for me?' Taehyung asked confidently
' So full of yourself...Aren't you Kim?' Jungkook asked walking towards his room
' You are really irritating!' Taehyung huffed
'Really? Cz I didn't feel that when we kissed' Jungkook turned around to look at him
' Fuck off' Taehyung spat as he stomped away to his room
🥀🥀🥀🥀🥀
' Why did you lie to Jin hyung about us going to Busan?' Taehyung asked as he looked at the man beside him on the driver seat
' You think he would have let us come here?' Jungkook asked his eyes fixed on the road... it was almost dusk...they have already reached Busan and was going towards some place Taehyung was giving directions to
' That's because he is scared of something happening to me'
' I know' Jungkook shrugged
' JK... Do you...do you really don't care if I die?' Taehyung honestly have no idea why he asked that...
' Hey petal' Jungkook looked at him ' You matter to me the most...and I brought you here because I know that I am capable of protecting you from anything and everything'
Taehyung smiled hearing that
' Tae... where are we actually going?' Jungkook asked tiredly as he drove through the country side
' Stop the car hyung' Taehyung said suddenly
Jungkook nodded as he parked the car by the side of the empty road... He got out looking around only to see a grave yard
' Why are we here Taehyung?' Jungkook frowned when he saw the younger walking into the graveyard
Jungkook silently followed him.. not knowing what to ask..nor how to react
Taehyung stopped in front of a certain grave..his eyes fixed onto that...
Jungkook came and stood beside him..as he read the name engraved on to the stone along with a photo... He snapped his head towards Taehyung whose eyes were teary ...
' Tae?' Jungkook frowned ' This-'
' This is the same girl whose picture is in my room' Taehyung mumbled
Jungkook turned back to look at photo again
Yoona
Taehyung kneeled in front of the grave...his hand resting on the stone as tears started streaming down his cheeks....
Jungkook felt his heart squeezing seeing Taehyung like this...his mind going in a frenzy.. he turned around.. planning on giving Taehyung some space when a hand wrapped around his wrist
Jungkook smiled softly as he kneeled beside Taehyung.. cupping his cheeks ' I know you want to be alone petal... I'll be waiting for you in the car ok'
Jungkook leaned forward planting a small kiss on his forward as Taehyung nodded...
Taehyung looked at the retreating back of his bodyguard as he sighed
' Heyy Yoon'
🥀🥀🥀🥀🥀
Jungkook was stealing subtle glances at the sniffing male beside them... They were on their way back home and since the moment Tae got back in the car he hasn't opened his mouth... Jungkook was getting worried by each passing second
' Do you want to talk about it... about her?' Jungkook finally asked not being able to keep up with the silence anymore
' I don't think am ready' Taehyung mumbled
' You know what Kim' Jungkook looked at him ' I think we shouldn't have kissed'
Taehyung whipped his head towards Jungkook..his eyes wide ' W-what?'
' You know...even though we just fought..we used to talk more than now... I can't just fight with you without any reason just to make you talk to me now Can I?' Jungkook asked wiggling his brows
Taehyung smacked his arm ' I thought you seriously regretted it'
' No way doll' Jungkook winked as they fell into another comfortable silence
' Wait a minute' Taehyung suddenly spoke up ' Don't tell me that all these days you were fighting with me for even the tiniest of things because you wanted to freaking talk to me?'
' When did I say that? Don't be so lame Kim' Jungkook scoffed trying to ignore the warmth spreading on his cheeks
' Gosh you are so... You are blushing oh god so I was right?' Taehyung squeakled like a kid ' You were doing all those shit just to get my attention wow what an asshole'
' Asshole? That is what am getting for everything I have done for you?' Jungkook gasped
' What? You have made me cry a million times' Taehyung turned towards him ' You made me cry even on the first day we met on the train'
' You cried? Why?' Now this was a new information for Jungkook
' Cz you remainded me of someone.. and then suddenly you just called me and told me that you would never want to see me again' Taehyung pouted
' You cried because a stranger wished not to see you ever!! Are you really the cold CEO of Vante?' Jungkook laughed
' Shut up you Marshmallow' Taehyung smacked him again ' You were not a stranger... Atleast I didn't feel like'
Jungkook's eyes softened hearing that
' Because you never were a stranger to me' Jungkook smiled
' What?' Taehyung frowned ' You knew me?'
' Yes'
' How?'
' I was your senior at college'
' You were what?' Taehyung almost yelled..
' Don't shout kid'
' Am not a kid' Taehyung scoffed ' You were my senior?'
' I was in Joon hyung's class...but am an year younger than him'
' You were friends with Hyung and I never saw you?' Taehyung couldn't believe what he was hearing
' I was never keen on meeting new people..so yeah' Jungkook shrugged
' But you knew Jin hyung'
' Because he is Namjoon's brother'
' Am also his brother'
' That doesn't mean I can just come and talk to anyone who is related to Joon' Jungkook gave him a done look
' Am not just anyone related to him' Taehyung huffed ' Am his one and only baby brother'
' Now what? Do you want me to go back in time and become friends with you?' Jungkook deadpanned
' If going back in time was an option I would have changed a million things'
Jungkook could feel the pain in Taehyung's voice.... He slowly extended his hand holding onto the younger's giving it a light squeeze
' When will we reach?' Taehyung asked leaning onto the window looking out at the night sky
' In an hour... Since it's already midnight the traffic would be less' Jungkook explained.
' Hmm' Taehyung just hummed
' Sleep if you want petal... I'll wake you up' Jungkook said smiling
' Ok... call me if you get tired... I'll drive' Taehyung said
' I'll' Jungkook said as he take back his hand from Tae's only to have it pulled back.
' Hold me please' Taehyung mumbled only to see a warm smile blooming on the elder's face as he nodded
Taehyung smiled as he leaned his head back onto the window fishing his phone out from his pocket... writing in a message..
Hey Jin hyung
I think am ready to move on
