Third person P.O.V

4 months later

Taehyung was walking outside of the main hall of the campus. He just got the degree of his graduation... finally he completed his degree. Clutching the degree close to his chest he slowly took steps toward the parking lot where he knew that his Hyungs must be waiting for him.

"Here is our prince!" Hoseok beamed when he saw Taehyung coming in his graduation gown.

"You look handsome, boy." Jin chirped and ruffled his hair which was still brown. The younger just smiled in response.

"Come on. We need to go." Namjoon said in a serious tone and they all entered the cars. Taehyung with Jimin and Yoongi in one car. Jin was with Namjoon while Hoseok was with Jackson.

Ride to the mansion was kind of silent as Jimin was trying his best to involve him in conversation but Taehyung didn't respond much.

Everyone finally entered the mansion and as soon as they did, Taehyung wasted no time and rushed to the room that was used by Jungkook. He locked himself in the room and bend over the bed.. letting his tears fall from his eyes.

"H- how could you do that.. I h- hate you for leaving me!" He said in between his cries, his face buried into the pillow as he just wanted to feel the scent of the other.

Everyone was feeling good but not so good. Taehyung was a little surprised to find Lisa's dead body in the basement but Namjoon told him about her tricks.. still, he felt bad for the girl. That was really an emotional day for Taehyung and he cried a lot in the embrace of Jimin.

"He is still sensitive," Hoseok muttered while preparing something special for dinner. Jackson was standing on the side, leaning on the counter.. watching Hoseok cooking.

"I still remember the first day we got him from that alley.." Jackson chuckled while shaking his head, Hoseok just hummed at the memory.

"Dinner ready?" Jin entered the kitchen, wearing a very formal suit. He was all in black just like the others to celebrate their baby's big day.

"Yeah almost. Are you all ready? I am sure.. he is gonna be surprised." Hoseok said in excitement and Jin nodded his head with a smile.

"Let me call him for dinner." With that Jin left the kitchen. Hoseok quickly finished and with help of Jackson, he placed the dishes on the table.. running back to his room to change as well.

Taehyung heard a soft knock on the door. He slowly sat up on the mattress, his nose was red.. lips pouted... cheeks were also red and puffy.

"Come in." He replied and soon Jin entered the room.

"Look at yourself Tae.. you look like a zombie. Come on sweetheart, cheer up. You just graduated." He patted Taehyung's shoulder to make him smile but didn't get enough response.

"I- I miss him Hyung." After a while, he croaked out and looked up at Jin with teary eyes. Jin wasted no time and hugged him tightly.. caressing his hair he kissed his head softly.

"I know.. I know Tae." He said to the younger who was breaking down slowly in his arms.

Somehow he managed to bring him to the dining room where all were waiting for the brunet.

"Come here, my man." Jimin got up from his seat, hugged him tightly, and made him sit on the chair.

"I made all of your favorite dishes, Tae," Hoseok added but Taehyung just gave him a small smile in turn.

They all shared a worried but sad look knowing the reason for the other's behavior.

Just when they were about to start to eat, the room went dark.. all lights were turned off.

Everyone gasped in sudden darkness but stayed in their seats.

"Ouch! Jackson, it's my foot, man." Hoseok hissed.

"Ops sorry Hobi." The former replied sheepishly.

"What happened.. let me check," Namjoon said and got up from his chair but stopped when he took a hint. He messaged all others to leave the room silently and all did that. Taehyung was still sitting on the chair, all clueless and shocked.

"Where are you all going?" He asked but no one preferred to say a word.

"What the... Hyung.. that's rude." He mumbled and finally got up from his seat too and turned back only to bump into a hard chest. The person covered his mouth quickly with his hand.

"Mumphh.. w-hoo aaaee youoo!" Words came out muffled from Taehyung's mouth as the man started walking with him outside of the mansion. Taehyung panicked a bit.. where the man was taking him, yet not so panicked when he felt the scent.

Just when he was in the center of the garden... all the lights turned on and the whole garden was decorated with beautiful flickering lights of purple color. Taehyung looked at those lights in awe.. a smile formed on his lips as he felt a presence behind him.

"I am sorry Baby.." The person said, touching his ears with both hands.

Taehyung slowly turned back to face the person and like a flick, his smile turned into a smirk as he enjoyed the scene in front of his eyes. He innocently shook his head, making his hair bounce cutely.

"Not accepted." He replied and turned back.

"I was busy with meeting... see I did that all to make you happy. " He again tried to defend himself but no, Taehyung wasn't giving his forgiveness so easily.

"I cried," Taehyung pointed out with a scowl and the other person pouted.

"You know I hate that.."

"But it was you who made me cry." Taehyung huffed, crossing his arms over his chest.

"I am sorry... please." The person again said... this time clasping his hands in front of Taehyung.

"Every time you go away from me, I got afraid. You know that.. still you do it. I don't mind that you didn't attend my graduation ceremony but I am hurt that you didn't tell me about that trip." His voice which was confident became a bit shaky at the end.

The person quickly hugged him tightly, kissing his temple carefully.

"It will never happen again... never ever. You know I can't leave you.. I fought with my death for you.. my angel." He said in his deep voice and Taehyung quickly shushed him.. placing his finger over the other's lips.

"Don't ever mention that day Jungkook... it still makes me terrified," Taehyung whispered with teary eyes.

Jungkook smiled looking at his adorable love, feeling attacked for the nth time, he nodded his head obediently and kissed Taehyung's cheeks.

That night, Jungkook really fought with his death.. he could hear Taehyung's cries... screams.. all over that.. he could hear those words echo in his mind that Taehyung said.

"I love you Jungkook."

How can he leave when his angel was crying.... how can he leave when his angel needed him... how can he leave when his angel said that he loves him?

So, he survived. The day he opened his eyes, the first person he saw was his angel... sleeping beside him on a chair, his hands entangled with his own.

He still remembers how Taehyung cried in happiness when he saw him awake and alive and all of his worries vanished when Taehyung again said those words repeatedly while kissing his hands.

"Don't be afraid love. I got you now." With that, he suddenly turned back and grabbed a beautiful bouquet of flowers. Sitting on one knee, he presented the bouquet to the other with so many emotions dancing in his dark orbs.

"For the love of my life.." Taehyung smiled widely, though his tears were still streaming down his cheeks, he accepted the bouquet and Jungkook also got up.

He leaned forward and brushed his nose to wipe those precious tears from that soft skin.

"I Love you, angel... so much." The raven-haired breathed on Taehyung's cheeks and could feel the increasing temperature of his skin, making his heart beat excitedly. His angel was blushing like ever and he loved it when Taehyung blushed at his small gestures.

"Ok ok.. now all the food is getting cold. You better get your ass here now." Jin interfered in the beautiful moment and everyone groaned at him.

"What the hell hyung! I really wanted to see them kiss. You ruined it all." Jimin said in a whining tone and Yoongi grabbed him by his waist.

"Why sweetcheeks... don't you enjoy our session that you are more interested in watching them?" He whispered in the other's ears who just blushed at the remark.

"Hey stop it." Jimin tried hard not to blush but couldn't help.

Jungkook just rolled his eyes in annoyance.. looking at all of his Hyungs.

"Sometimes I think to kick you all out of this mansion so that I and my angel can have some private time!" He forced the word private and Taehyung giggled hearing that.

"Don't be mad Jungkook.. you know they love us." After gulping down his giggles, he scolded his lover who just pouted.

"Oh, God. For sake Jungkook.. don't pout like a child. You are Mafia.. for sake of this Mafia, act like a man." Namjoon huffed, or more like teased but Jin smacked his arm.

"Why don't you just end this Mafia thingie." Jin glared at his boyfriend.

"It's not so easy, Jiniee. I told you, we don't target good people and we already stopped drug smuggling. But still, we have to continue like a Mafia." The dimple guy compiled, not letting the chance pass without showing his dimples which happened to be his boyfriend's weakness.

"Ok. Now if you all don't enter the dining right now... I am going to end all food by myself.. oh come on. It took a lot of time to prepare that all." Hoseok fake cried and Jackson patted his back.

"Don't worry Hobi.. let's go inside. Let me finish that yummy food along with the cook." He smiled innocently but Hoseok and the others gave him a questioning look.

"What? You all can date each other.. I can't even flirt with him?" Jackson replied throwing his hands in the air irritated.

Taehyung was continuously giggling cutely and Jungkook was just watching him with love eyes. God so whipped.. he can never be tired of hearing those deep sweet giggles.

They all enjoyed the dinner and then went back to their rooms leaving Jackson who was helping Hoseok.

"You are cute.. why I never noticed before," Jackson pointed out while putting the clean dishes on the side. Hoseok side-eyed him with a raised brow.

"So you are now flirting in the full mood?"

"Can't I?" Suddenly Hoseok felt a spark when Jackson turned him by spinning him. Their faces were too close to each other.

"Weird," Hoseok mumbled, eyes still boring into each other.

"What?"

"I feel the same now," Hoseok replied with a smile and pushed back Jackson, and rushed out of the kitchen.

"Aish.. Yah! You can't run from me. I was trying to flirt in a good way." Jackson yelled from the kitchen but Hoseok was busy hiding his blushing cheeks.

"Damn.. this was quick." He muttered once he entered his room.. a smile on his face.

Another love story was about to reach its full glory.

Taehyung entered the room with Jungkook behind him. He slowly moved towards the bed and placed the bouquet on the nightstand but soon he was turned back by Jungkook.

"You will stay with me," Jungkook smiled, his eyes crinkling beautifully, which always happened just because of the human in front of him.

"Forever," Taehyung replied, feeling the blush spreading at the intense gaze but heart melting at the sweet smile.

"Forever?" Jungkook asked, a smile still lingering on his lips and Taehyung looked up at him with a different look.

Taehyung opened his phone and started a song, slowly turning back to Jungkook who was already watching his every step.

"Can we." Taehyung stretched his hand and Jungkook quickly grabbed it with a bunny smile. Bringing closer to other, they started swaying with the song slowly...

"I want to be with you all the time angel. Every time I see you.. it feels like a dream.. a beautiful dream that came true. I still feel blessed to find you that night.."

"Same Jungkook... I never ever thought to have someone who can love me so much, who can protect me like that. When I first fell for you... you gave me hope... and now all of my hopes are fulfilled by you. I love you so much Jungkook, that I can't imagine a life without you. I am so lucky to have you in my life.. I love you a lot."

Jungkook was smiling in pure happiness, it was one of the moments he cherished a lot, was grateful to the writer of his fate for it all. Without realization.. they started to lean.. eyes enjoying the warmth of others... leaning more till their lips touched...

Finally ....

Jungkook thought and felt like melting in the touch, the same goes with Taehyung who felt like collapsing due to so much pleasure but thanks to Jungkook's grip on his waist which tightened a little to support his love. Taehyung's hands reached up to entangle with those soft black locks, feeling the jolts of electricity at the small touch of their skin, but assuring one that they belong to each other now.

Both enjoyed the warmth of each other... completely ignoring the loss of air. The kiss wasn't harsh... no lust... Just love... care... pure love.

When they finally pulled back... Jungkook thought it was like a miracle that no one disturbed them this time.. he mentally thanked them.

But when his eyes fell on the beauty in his arms... he couldn't think straight. Taehyung was panting, eyes still closed, lips a little swollen, and cheeks dusted bright pink. A beautiful wreck to stare at, and Jungkook felt proud for owning that art.

"Beautiful... all mine.. just mine." Jungkook breathed out and picked up the boy in his arms... receiving a cute yelp from the other.

He gently placed the boy on the bed.. hovering over him and again claiming those addicting soft lips.. his lips trailing lower to his jaw.. to his neck.. leaving beautiful marks on the flawless skin.

Taehyung could feel the building feeling in his body. He was craving for that touch, for that love that Jungkook was showing through his touch. He could feel euphoric... his heart was beating faster than ever but he was feeling safe... so much safe in those arms.

"I love you so much.. soon to be Jeon Taehyung." Jungkook breathed out on Taehyung's skin, nosing the soft skin, and sealed his words with a peck. Taehyung smiled with his signature boxy one.

"I love you too. My soon-to-be Husband," Taehyung replied shyly and tightened his grip around Jungkook's neck as the older kept on leaving marks on his skin, claiming him all over again just to make him wonder about his fate.

Wondering how he hoped for good... but he got the best.
