I Still Want You [Taekook] - Chapter 30: Chapter 30

Seoul - July 2018
No One's P.O.V
Ding Dong... Ding Dong... Ding Dong ...
The red-haired male who had focused on his laptop grumbled irritably
"For God's sake, it's 7 o'clock in the morning" he stood from his chair to the front door.
The house owner was beyond shocked as the door opened. There stood a man with a very cute bunny-smile.
"Hai" the man beaming happily
"Good morning Mr.Jeon. Is there anything I can help with?" He tried his best to stay civil and not slam the door right in front of his 'guest'.
"Well..., I didn't expect to meet you but good morning Mr.Kim. I'm your new neighbour. I live on the same floor as you." Jungkook said excitedly, ignoring the 'what the hell' face of Taehyung.
And Taehyung feels more than just irritated and frustrated, he feels that life is playing a joke on him.
Little did he know that Jeon Jungkook has planned everything.
All of this started when Bogum told Jungkook that Taehyung would only stay in Korea for a maximum of two months.
Jungkook already experienced how devastating his life without his Taehyung, and he doesn't want to go through it again.
Somehow he found out that there is still one apartment vacant and it's on the same floor as Taehyung's. Without thinking twice, he drained the money on his account just to become the neighbour of his angel.
Hell yeah, Taehyung live in the most expensive apartment complex in Korea. But it doesn't matter for Jungkook, as long as he can get close with the love of his life. He'll do anything for Taehyung. Anything.
"So, why are you still standing here?" Taehyung's voice cut Jungkook's train of thought.
"Oh... yeah, I forgot. This is for you." Jungkook gives him a red paper bag.
"What's this?"
"A gift? Well, you know it's a tradition to give something to your new neighbour." Jungkook said sheepishly while scratching the back of his neck
"I don't want to give you any gift, so don't give me anything either" with that the red-haired male shoved the bag back and closed the door right in front of Jungkook's face
And it hurts his heart. Will Jungkook give up? No. He was determined that this time, no matter what happened, he would never let Taehyung go ever again.
The next morning Jungkook knocking on Taehyung's door again, and the said male immediately close the door after seeing the guest's face. The same thing happens in the third and fourth morning. On the fifth day, Taehyung didn't even bother to open the door.
As much as Jungkook want to knock on Taehyung's door every morning, he needs to work.
"So, how's your holiday this past week Kook?" asked Jin when the younger finally come back to the dorm.
Jungkook tells them that he needs a week off to have some 'healing' time, and the member agreed. Since they knew what their brother had been through recently.
"Uhm, Hyung... Actually... I bought a new apartment."
"What? Why? When? Where? How?" Jin frantically screaming made the rest of the members gathered in the living room
"What happen Hyung?" Jimin said worriedly.
"Nothing. Sorry. I'm just very shocked. So, Jungkook ... " Jin turned his gaze back to the magnae.
"Why did you buy a new apartment? Don't you want to stay with us? Do we interfere with your private life? Are there any of our words that hurt you?"
"No hyung... No... Definitely no." Jungkook shaking his head vigorously doesn't want the older to misunderstand.
He fidgeting with his finger, pondering whether to tell his hyungs everything or not.
"You can tell us everything Kook" Hoseok hugs his brother
"Actually, I bought the apartment because it's across Taehyung's. Uhm... I-I guess I'm desperately want to get him back" Jungkook hung his head low, doesn't dare to look at his members. In all honesty, he didn't expect his hyungs to have a good response in this.
but what happened was just the opposite
Jin and Jimin hugged each other with a smile of relief, Hoseok tightened his arms to Jungkook, Namjoon smiled proudly, and Yoongi
"That's my boy... I'm proud of you. Finally, you realized that you should fight for him."
The conversation then continued with the members who wanted to visit Jungkook's new apartment. After a good 20 minutes, they left to resume what they were doing before. Except for Yoongi
"Kook, come here" He patted the spot beside him
"Yes, Hyung."
"When I said that I'm proud of you, I really meant it. However, I think before you go further there is something you need to do first."
The younger just look at him confused. Need to do something first? Apologize? He already does that though.
"Come out to your parents. I know it's hard, it's really hard to come out. I know. But if you don't tell your parents about this matter, there is a possibility that you will leave Taehyung again for the same reason. You said that you didn't have any choice back then because your parents are homophobic, and if you're not come out to them then what's the difference? Someday you'll leave him again since your parents are against it."
Jungkook is stunned. He knew that what Yoongi had said was true.
But is he ready to tell his parents? Is he ready to face their anger? Is he ready to come out to them?
"Think about what I said. Whether you do that or not, all the decision are on you."
Yoongi can't say, assured, and promise that he will support whatever Jungkook's decision because he can't bear to see Taehyung get hurt again.
Jungkook lay staring at the ceiling of his room.
"Junki Hyung ... Should I come out? Should I tell them? I'm afraid that it's going to hurt them, no matter what, they are still our parents. But I can't lie to myself and hide everything. This is the real me." He starts crying
"Will they do the same to me like what they did to you? Can I survive?" he closed his eyes for a moment, trying to calm himself
"His name is Taehyung. Kim Taehyung. My first love and will be my last one. He is very handsome Hyung. The most handsome man I've ever met. He has a honey-tan skin, big brown doe eyes, an almost perfectly symmetrical face, a cute pointed nose, a plump red lip, in short, he is ethereal.
He has the heart of a tiger and the soul of an angel. He is the kindest man. Very understanding, loving, caring, warm-hearted, smart, reliable, optimistic, lively, sweet. Perfect. Did I talk too much about him?" Jungkook giggled while wiping his tears away.
"Well, I can describe him in one sentence. He is someone I love."
Jungkook then tells his brother everything. From the day he met Taehyung for the first time to the last day he knocked on Tae's door. He told his brother without missing any single story.
"Ah, Hyung. Should I text him? I miss him" Jungkook takes his cell phone, smiling at the wallpaper screen.
"Hey, love. How are you today?"
Me
Hey...
How are you today?
Have you eaten?
What are you doing now?
My Life 💜💜
What do you want, Jeon Jungkook-ssi?
That single text from Taehyung relieve all his sadness, rinse all his worries, bury all his insecurities. It makes him so happy. His smile grew so wide.
After all this time, Taehyung still saves his number.
"What the hell I'm pondering of." He rushes to the leader room.
"Hyung... Do we have any schedule tonight?"
"Nope"
"How about tomorrow?"
"One schedule at night"
"Okay. Thanks, Hyung."
"Wait ... where are you going?" The leader asked when he sees Jungkook with his backpack, ready to go.
"I'm going to Busan Hyung. Don't worry, I'll be back tomorrow morning." He shouts while closing the dorm's door
"I raised him well," Yonggi said whilst drinking his coffee
