43| MAFIA'S PRINCESS

"you're going to talk to each other like two normal human beings, i can't stand you bickering every possible second," taehyung said sternly, looking first to jeongguk and then to aro, who were sitting on the opposite side of the table from each other, while taehyung sat on the side between them.

"ugh, i wish talking to him was possible, he never listens—

"oh, shut up, bitch! i do listen, but just not to you!"

taehyung massaged the bridge of his nose. it's been already seven months since aro had moved in with them and jeongguk and her still didn't get along. sure, he trusted her now and she was allowed to use her phone again and also to go outside. he also kind of doesn't think of her that low of a sister anymore, as he realized that she really regrets the past and cares for taehyung.

so basically, he had forgiven her for hurting taehyung.

which does not have to do with the fact that he finds her bratty and annoying, while she finds him arrogant and rude.

"can you please just talk normal for once? please? do it for me."

"okay, i start," jeongguk said, smiling sarcastically, "hello, bitch, my name is jeon jeongguk and i don't like you."

"funny," aro scoffed, "my name is kim aro, you dipshit and i seriously can't stand you."

they both reached their hands out and gave each other a firm handshake, before pulling away and then turning to taehyung, smiling as if everything was normal.

their smiles dropped though as they noticed the ash-blond's glare. "seriously?"

"yup? i can't stand him and only tolerate him, because you love him and he makes you happy and he's basically my brother in law—

"i only accept her here, because she's your sister and hoseok likes her, otherwise she'd live on the street."

"wait— hoseok likes me??" a blush spread on her cheeks and taehyung's eyes widened, looking to jeongguk who just spilled their friend's secret in front of his crush.

"jeon jeongguk, you're so dead," taehyung muttered through gritted teeth only audible for himself.

jeongguk smiled awkwardly. "yeah, no— he doesn't like you! who'd like someone like you—

"jeon!" taehyung butted in again, shaking his head in frustration. "it's over, you already messed up."

"he really likes me?" aro whispered dreamingly to herself, lips forming to a smile. taehyung stared at her, equally frustrated.

"i love the both of you, but at the same time i hate you so so much," he mumbled, causing his lover and his sister to smile at him.

"i love you too, princess."

aro made a throwing up sound and jeongguk glared at her, taehyung felt like giving up. "all i want you two to do is get along with each other. it's tiring to fucking see you fucking bickering every fucking day over every little fucking thing."

"that were a lot of fuckings" aro marked.

"he gets them later—

"i don't wanna know that!" aro whined and jeongguk smirked.

taehyung sat up, pushing his chair back loudly. "i fucking hate you."

"that makes five fuckings in total."

"i'll make sure to make it six at night—

"jeongguk," taehyung interrupted him, voice low and tired. "come with me," he said, leaving the room.

"that's your fault," jeongguk growled to aro who scoffed, crosing her arms and leaning ack on her chair. "have fun giving him the sixth fuck."

"yes, princess?"

"i hate you." the ash blond said and the ravenette just smiled sheepishly. "you know i can't take you serious when i know the truth."

they were in their bedroom now. "i love you, but i seriously hate you," taehyung repeated, sitting down on the bed.

jeongguk chuckled and walked to him, sitting down next to him. "i love you more."

taehyung sighed. "i'm tired, let's sleep."

"no sixth fuck?"

"what the fuck, no!"

"wait, that was the sixth one, so what about the seventh—

"i just wanna sleep, gguk." taehyung said, annoyed. "but i can't sleep without you."

it just turned out to be like that. once jeongguk isn't lying next to taehyung at night, the younger can't fall asleep.

"i love that habit."

"mhmm," taehyung hummed, dressing up into his pajamas, when jeongguk decided to just do the same, thinking he could make it up to him like this.

but, for gods sake, he can't stand aro.

"i'm sorry," he apologized and taehyung scoffed quietly. "i know you aren't."

"yeah, i'm not! how am i supposed to get along with her when she's being like that?"

taehyung crawled under the blanket and held it up for jeongguk, who slipped in next to him and wrapped his arms around him.

"i know, aro is exhausting, but at least be nice to her." you're even more exhausting, taehyung thought to himself, internally rolling his eyes.

"you don't get it, i can be nice to her, if she also is nice to me."

taehyung cuddled himself closer to jeongguk and nuzzled his face in the ravenette's chest. "she said the same thing, bunny. you two just have to both be nice."

jeongguk kissed taehyung's forehead. "i can try that."

taehyung's arm went up and he swung it around jeongguk's waist, pressing himself against jeongguk's chest, "thank you, love."

placing another kiss to the younger's forehead, jeongguk smiled contently. "the things i'd do for you. i will even be nice towards my enemy."

taehyung laughed. "did you just call my sister your enemy?"

"she's a witch."

scoffing, taehyung smiled. he loved evenings, the time before the two go to sleep, when they would talk about every possible topic with no care in the world, while being in each other's arms.

"gguk."

"mhmm?"

"i love you so so much."

"i thought you hate me."

"i feel a lot towards you, bun."

jeongguk chuckled. "i love you too, my princess."

"your princess, mhm?" taehyung mumbled, placing kisses to jeongguk's clothed chest. "does that make you my prince?"

"hell yeah."

"you're such a baby."

jeongguk scoffed, moving his hand along taehyung's back. "you are a baby, look at you, not being able to sleep without me." jeongguk pinched the younger's waist, to which the ash-blonde squeaked out a loud 'ow'.

glaring, taehyung tried to push himself out of the older's hold. "i'm not a baby!"

jeongguk chuckled, watching taehyung squirm, knowing very well he won't be able to leave. "that's exactly what a baby would say."

taehyung stopped fighting against jeongguk's arms, just pouted. "don't tease me because of a habit."

"i'm not teasing, it's just a really cute habit."

"it's not." taehyung pouted heavier. jeongguk smiled and pecked the younger's lips. "it is, princess. and you're cute and i don't mind sleeping with you in my arms every night."

taehyung just pouted and stopped squirming in his hold and a small comfortable silence followed.

"jeon?"

"yes, jeon?"

taehyung giggled. "that was unexpected," he said and jeongguk chuckled. "jeon taehyung, hmm?"

taehyung rolled his eyes. "what i wanted to ask is, if you could teach me with guns."

surprised, jeongguk sat a little up. "for real? now, that was unexpected."

taehyung smiled. "yeah, i mean, maybe i can come with y'all to missions then."

a frown formed on jeongguk's face. "you know i don't want you to go," he whispered, brushing taehyung's hair from his forehead. taehyung closed his eyes for a second by the soothing feeling that act caused.

"but i wanna. it's boring when everyone is gone. even aro is going and i've been with your mafia longer!" taehyung stated.

jeongguk sighed. "it's dangerous."

taehyung stared at him for a moment. "so are you," he huffed and jeongguk thought for a second and then shrugged. "true."

"see."

"but, i'd never hurt you, others won't hesitate to do that—

"that's why you need to teach me, so i can defend myself."

jeongguk bit his lip, he still regrets to this day, how choi minho had almost raped taehyung. "you're so young, princess, i don't want you to waste your time with missions..."

"i may be seven years younger than you, but i'm grown up and capable of a lot—

"i'm just worried." they held a small eye contact with each other. "i'm doing this for you, you know..."

"let's make a deal, mr jeon." taehyung suggested and sat up, while jeongguk cursed internally, holding himself back, because that 'mr jeon' was fucking hot.

"if i'm able to win against you in a fight, you'll train me."

they both now sat up, jeongguk surprised. "doll, that's not a joke. i won't fight against you—

"why? are you scared?" scoffing, taehyung crossed his arms.

jeongguk took a deep breath, knowing exactly what his lover wants to do. "i'm not scared, princess—

"then, just do it. c'mon let's go back to bangtan and do it—

"tae—

"that was an order, mr future husband. now get up," taehyung said sternly, causing jeongguk to sigh out a chuckle.

"you really want to do that?"

"i want to prove to you that i'm capable of fighting enemies."

jeongguk sighed. "doll, i know you're capable of doing that, but i really don't want to fight you."

"it's just a friendly spare, bun, don't make an elephant out of an ant."

"you literally dragged me here just to prove yourself. i know you're strong, you have no reason to prove anything to me." taehyung heard the sincere tone in jeongguk's voice, but he made up his mind.

"just do it with me now," he rolled his eyes

jeongguk held a smile back at how confident his princess acted now. "fine, baby."

taehyung's eyes lightened up in excitement, when both of them took a start position.

"i'll count to three, tiger." jeongguk winked at taehyung, but the ash grey haired wasn't affected at all, rather concentrated in winning against the love of his life.

"1...2...3."

taehyung was the first to make his move, trying to land a punch on jeongguk, who smoothly dodged the attack. "baby, we can stop."

"no," taehyung pouted, continuing his attacks, that jeongguk always defended and dodged, but taehyung didn't seem to give up that easily.

it frustrated the ash-blond just a little.

"taehyung, stop. it's enough," jeongguk said, also getting frustrated. he doesn't want taehyung to get more involved with his job in the mafia, and he wasn't able to land one hit on jeongguk.

"no." taehyung said again, stubbornly attacking his lover again, who lowkey got tired of it, thinking about ending this fight.

so when taehyung was near enough, he grabbed the smaller by his throat, causing him to let out a surprised gasp.

jeongguk sighed when he met taehyung's eyes and then looked away. "petal, it's enough. you're strong, but i won't let you go to missions with us..."

when there was no answer from taehyung, jeongguk looked back to him, eyes widening when he noticed the younger's eyes were filled with tears.

"b-baby, what's wrong?" he questioned worriedly, removing his hand from the younger's throat.

not saying a word, taehyung just hugged him, tightly, as also a few sobs left his lips. confused, jeongguk also wrapped his arms around him, nuzzling his nose in the grey hair.

"don't cry, baby, i'm sorry, i didn't want to hurt you."

taehyung smirked. "i'm surprised how this move always works on you," he mocked, pulling jeongguk's gun out of his belt and pushing him away, so that he had enough space to point it at him with a stretched arm.

jeongguk looked at him with widened eyes, not believing that taehyung was able to do that again.

"so, mr jeon, what are you gonna do now?"

jeongguk chuckled. "you weren't crying.."

"i was acting," taehyung stated proudly, jeongguk smiled.

"you did great, princess," he said, stepping forward. taehyung smiled, pulling the gun down. "so, you're gonna teach me to fight?" he asked expectedly.

the ravenette grabbed the gun out of his lover's hold and put it back into his belt, a deep sigh leaving his lips. "i'll teach you,  but as long as you're not ready, you will still stay home during missions first"

taehyung smiled widely, before jumping onto jeongguk and, wrapping arms and legs around him, hugging him tightly. "thank you, bun. i love you!"

jeongguk couldn't help but smile, as he pecked taehyung's lips. "i love you, too."

"so now, i'm a officially a member of bts and bangtan, right?"

nodding, jeongguk let the smaller down. "you're part of my mafia."

taehyung smiled. "your princess," he whispered proudly.

jeongguk hummed. "the mafia's princess"
