[Jungkook's POV]

I couldn't shake the image of that disgusting guy having his slimy hands on Taehyung. It made me mad, furious even. Another quiet sob from Taehyung made me hold onto him tighter, he didn't deserve this. What the hell was that guy's problem? I carried the broken boy home and quickly sneaked my way to my room, it was late and I didn't want to deal with family on top of this situation. Once we were in my room I just sat on the bed, Taehyung still latched onto me and now sitting on my lap.

"I-I'm sorry..." I hardly heard Taehyung's words as he apologized for nothing. They were so soft but so full of emotion, my heart just broke. I gently pried his head from my neck and looked dead into his soft mocha eyes that were glazed with tears.

"You did nothing wrong, I promise." He sniffed and looked down, trying to hide again. But before he could do that I placed a hand on his cheek and wiped away his tears. "You're too perfect for this world Taehyung."

With a look of shock, Taehyung's whole body went tense before becoming liquid, leaning into me and pulling me into a tight hug. I could only smile as I gently wrapped my own arms around his torso, hoping that he would stay calm. A few seconds passed before Taehyung said something, but it was muffled against my shoulder. I pushed him away from me to find his face bright red, he couldn't make eye contact with me either.

"What did you say?" The boy's face only darkened as another shade of red was added. He covered his face with his hands in the long sleeves of his sweater before saying it again, still quiet.

"I love you Jungkookie.." I heard the words clear as day but decided to annoy him a bit, because he needed a little entertainment. Putting a hand to my ear and dramatically leaning forward, I asked him to repeat himself. He giggled before saying it in a normal voice, to which I pointed out the window behind me and asked him to repeat it for the deaf man in the back. WIthout warning between his laughs, Taehyung leaned forward and whispered into my ear. A surprisingly low and somber voice that I hadn't really heard since the day we met.

"I really do love you, idiot." It was my turn to laugh as I fell back onto the bed, heat growing on my face as Taehyung fell with me. I sighed and positioned my hands around him, turning myself so that we were laying on the bed facing each other, just inches apart.

"Hey Taehyung," I tried my best to keep a straight and emotionless face, he hummed in response as he moved his hands to my chest, just resting them there as I spoke. "I think I love you too." Taehyung's eyes shot up to look at mine suddenly, I never knew so much happiness could be found in a single set of eyes, there was also astonishment and something else I couldn't quite place.

Suddenly he moved closer to me, gripping on to the collar of my shirt. "Good." His soft lips placed themselves on mine, a passionate but also hesitant kiss. My eyes fluttered close as our lips danced with each other in the pale moonlight. A sensation of lightning surged through me as we kissed, I hated having to pull away from lack of breath. We lied in a sweet quiet, panting slightly. A smile found its way to both of our faces as we stayed close in the other's arms and drifted off to sleep, not caring for anything in the world but each other.
