I Still Want You [Taekook] - Chapter 58: Chapter 58

Seoul - October 2018
No One's P.O.V
Taehyung just wants to drop Yoongi to the dorm and back to his own apartment, but his plan fails when he sees his lover standing next to the elevator in the basement parking lot.
"Mind to tell me where have you been, Mr Kim?"
Yoongi just rolled his eyes lazily. Lately, Jungkook is more protective of Taehyung and get jealous easily.
Like what happened a few days ago when the couple was in Jungkook's uninhabited apartment.
They cuddled on the couch while watching TV after a day of cleaning the apartment and rearranging some furniture.
"Bogum Hyung is so handsome," said Taehyung who was watching the drama, where the main cast was his best friend. He was so absorbed in watching the drama that he didn't notice his lover who had been staring at him while poking his inner cheek with tongue.
"Bogum Hyung is handsome? Is that so? Hmmm. Enough to know."
"Of course Hyung is handsome. Do you know, back to our college days, there are a lot of girls who chased after him. Well, he is handsome, inside out. Look at his smile, isn't it sweet?"
"Bogum Hyung or me?"
"Huh?" Finally, Taehyung turned his attention from the screen, looked at his lover while blinking his eyes in confusion. "What do you mean, Kookie?"
"Bogum Hyung this, Bogum Hyung that. Bogum Hyung is very handsome. Bogum Hyung is so kind-hearted. It's always Bogum Hyung. Even that day, when we returned from Germany, he picked you up at the airport."
"Oh my God, kookie. You know that we're just best friends. Come on."
"Choose, Bogum Hyung or me?"
Taehyung smiled at his boyfriend's whining, pulled him closer then kissed his forehead lovingly.
"Of course, Jungkookie."
"is my handsome bunny get jealous?"
"Of course. Lately, you often go with him." Jungkook said pouting.
To be honest, Taehyung wants to laugh. His boyfriend is really adorable.
"We are taking care of some work. I intend to hire Bogum Hyung in my company. After all, he graduated from Seoul National University in Business Management. Although he is still inexperienced, I think he is competent enough to become a branch manager. Therefore, we often together lately."
"But didn't he busy shooting drama?"
"Well, he didn't mind. Instead, he was very enthusiastic and grateful. Actually, Bogum Hyung wanted to find a job because, right from the start, he realized that he couldn't forever be an actor. The public figure has its own time, one day his fame will start to fade, so he needs another, stable job. That's what he said"
Or another Jungkook's jealousy moment
At that time the media was full of news about "Taehyung and Krystal enjoying a romantic dinner together"
They were indeed having dinner together, at one of the fancy restaurants in Seoul, but it was just an ordinary dinner. Taehyung called it as a "friendship dinner". However, they were caught on camera by the paparazzi. And of course, became a piece of hot news, because after all, in the public eye, they are lovers who have been in a relationship for more than two years.
Jungkook is jealous. Obviously.
Finally, Taehyung called Soojung, saying that he had to end their "relationship".
No, Taehyung didn't say that all this time they were not lovers. Taehyung doesn't want to lie, but on top of that, he doesn't want people to know that she has been lying. Moreover, at that time Soojung lied to protect him.
Many fans of the couple were disappointed. Even many of them hope and pray for them to come back together.
"Why didn't you said the truth?" Jungkook said after seeing Taehyung's post.
"What for? So that people know that we've been lying? So that people realize that all of this is just to cover up the fact that I'm gay?"
"I don't like people still hoping for you and Soojung to be together. I don't like it when people think of you both as a very harmonious couple. I don't like it when many people pray for you two to come back together. And I hate it when many people hope that both of you will end up in a marriage."
Jungkook isn't wrong, Taehyung knew it. But for him, he was too excessive.
"Then why don't you just say that I'm your lover?" Taehyung said, holding back his anger, and Jungkook fell silent.
"Why? You can't, right? I've been hurting her enough by not return her feelings. I can't hurt her any more. I don't care what people say about me. I don't care if people know that I'm actually gay. But I can't let her image crushed in public eyes. The lie she did was to protect me, so it wouldn't hurt if I also lied to protect her."
"When I was ostracized and abandoned, even by you, she was one of the few people who still stay beside me. When I was hurt and people just watched, including you, she was the one who stood in the front row to protect me." Taehyung said while pushing Jungkook's chest with his index finger repeatedly.
"If only love came from the brain, not from the heart. Of course, I would choose her over you."
Taehyung knew he was hurting Jungkook's feelings, but he wanted Jungkook to realize that he had hurt Taehyung with millions of times the pain.
Because of that incident, Taehyung and Jungkook had a fight for several days. More precisely, Taehyung ignored Jungkook. He didn't reply to his message, nor did he pick up his call. Taehyung also left his apartment and stayed at the hotel. Not that he wants to run away from the problem, he just wants Jungkook to realize how important Taehyung's presence is in his life. Which Jungkook already knew since Taehyung's 'disappearance' two years ago.
Since the couple loves each other too much, very much, eventually, they got together again in no time.
Jungkook realizes that instead of being jealous, he should be grateful because, after all the pain he gave, Taehyung still chose him, stayed by his side, and entrust his heart to Jungkook.
Of course, Jungkook said sorry thousands of times and promised not to be blinded by jealousy again.
In point of fact, Jungkook is still easily ignited by jealousy. Jungkook loves Taehyung very much and is so afraid of losing him again. That's why.
Back to the present, where Jungkook is staring at Taehyung because he left with his Hyung, who once loved him.
Among all members, Jungkook gets jealous when Taehyung is with Yoongi. Of course, we all know the reason, except Taehyung. Yes, Taehyung never knew that Yoongi had loved him. Maybe Taehyung is too oblivious and too comfortable with Yoongi as his older brother.
Jungkook approaches Taehyung who had already got out of the car, while Yoongi had left already, giving privacy to his brother.
"So where have you been with Yoongi Hyung?"
"Are you jealous again? Don't you remember what I said, Kookie?"
"Never be jealous of the Hyungs because they are family," Jungkook said weakly
"That's it. Come here." Taehyung stretched out his arms and welcomed by Jungkook's tight hug.
"I sent you a message, Kook. I went to the park with Hyung because I felt bored. I waited for you but you didn't go home soon."
"Sorry, love. The practice time must be prolonged because Hoseok Hyung said that I and Jimin still haven't mastered some movements."
"It's okay, Kook." Taehyung rested his head on Jungkook's chest. He really doesn't want to leave this comfort, but he needs to go home soon because there are many documents wait for him.
"Kook, I should go home. There's a lot of work that I need to finish soon."
"But I still want to be with you," Jungkook said sulking
"Me too. But it can't be helped." Taehyung kissed his boyfriend briefly
"Then, I'll come with you."
"What for? You're just going to be bored"
"How can I be bored if I look at you? Hmmm? Come on" Taehyung really really wanted to ignore his plea, but seeing Jungkook acting cute, what else could he do but say yes to his boyfriend's request.
And sure enough, two hours have passed, and Taehyung completely ignores Jungkook. He is too busy with piles of files in front of him and the data on a laptop which Jungkook doesn't understand at all.
"Tae? Baby? Taebaby?" Taehyung still doesn't budge. Not even responding to Jungkook's call.
"Love ..."
"This is the reason why I don't want you to come with me earlier." Taehyung massages his nose bridge. Removing the reading glasses he had been wearing and looks at his lover.
"I am bored"
"I told you before."
"Well, I don't know that you will ignore me for this long."
Taehyung rolled his eyes nonchalantly. "I never even complained when you ignored me for your work for days or even weeks."
The atmosphere becomes awkward.
"I'm sorry, I know ..."
Taehyung closes his laptop, diverts Jungkook's attention who is talking. He really doesn't want to talk about this matter again, blame his mouth which sometimes can't be filtered while talking.
"What do you want to do? My work will be finished soon, so I can continue it later."
Jungkook knows very well that Taehyung is changing the subject.
"Uhm?" The muscular man put his index finger on his chin while looking up, showing an expression as if he is in deep thinking.
"How about you help me compose a song?" The raven-haired man followed his boyfriend who is taking a drink in the kitchen
"You want to compose a song?"
"Yup. For you," he said proudly
"Muscle Pig Bunny. You really aren't romantic." Taehyung gaze at his lover. "If you really want to make a song for me, you shouldn't tell me. How can you ask me to help you compose it?"
"It's just, I'm not used to composing a song, and I want to make the best song for you. Hehehe" Jungkook grins while scratching his non-itchy head
"You can ask Namjoon Hyung or Yoongi Hyung for help. Do you forget how great they are?"
"Ah, I forget. It's because there is only you in my mind."
"Ck, it's not a surprise anymore."
The night was spent by cuddling while watching TV. It was only after Jungkook slept, Taehyung goes back to finish his work which still piling up.
Yes, Taehyung is so in love with Jungkook. So much, that he won't hesitate to put Jungkook above anything else.
