37| missed you

it was one am and taehyung couldn't find the will to drag himself to sleep. he was sitting on the bed, staring at nothing, his thoughts eating him up alive just at that moment.

even though jungkook and yuna reassured him that they won't get married- and he knows they won't- the thought kept crossing his mind, piercing his heart by just the imagination of jungkook marrying someone that isn't him.

the wedding wasn't his biggest problem at the moment, but it was the one that concerned him the most. he doesn't know what jungkook is planing on doing and he is scared that something will go wrong.

taehyung took a shallow breath and let himself fall on the back. he froze on the spot when he suddenly heard strange sounds coming from the window. he tried to ignore it, though when the sound didn't stop, he turned the lights on and walked to the window, opening the curtains, to see what was going on.

he stopped in his tracks.

this isn't real, this can't be real.

taehyung's breathing hitched, as he looked at the bunny smile that he had missed so much, instantly feeling warmer by seeing jungkook again.

the ravenette's eyes soften when taehyung started to cry and desperately tried to open the window, so jungkook can hold him and tell him that everything is going to be fine.

but the window was locked, taehyung's fingers now hurting as he kept going and desperately tried to open it, knowing jungkook is on the other side.

the younger boy's heart clenched at the view and he quickly knocked against the window, to get taehyung's attention. taehyung turned to him, tears straining his cheeks as he gave up on the last string of hope he had. until jungkook held the crowbar up and his eyes widened.

the younger smiled lightly and then signed taehyung to take a few steps back, so that he can open the window, not caring at all that he is going to destroy it. he placed the iron by in the slit between the window and its frame, using his whole strength to break the thing open, at the same moment tying not to fall, since had to climb up a few meters.

taehyung's heart sped up when he heard a crack and then saw the window opening in slow motion, jungkook stepping in.

the moment jungkook's feet were touching the ground, the males ran towards each other, until they fell into a desperate kiss filled with longing and love. alone feeling jungkook's arms around him lets taehyung feel like the safest person alive, the warmth resonating from jungkook's body melting him, as he had missed it so much. taehyung sobbed softly into the kiss and jungkook felt his own tears running down his cheeks, he had missed taehyung just too much.

they cut the kiss off and just hugged each other tightly, trying to be as close to each other as possible. taehyung felt his knees giving up, the exhaustion and sleepless nights now catching up on him. jungkook widened his eyes when taehyung broke down in his arms, he held him tightly, though that didn't change the fact the silver haired couldn't stand by himself anymore.

he looked at his boyfriend worriedly, now studying his face, that displayed exactly what caused taehyung to feel so weak. jeongguk wiped taehyung's tears softly away, before lifting him up and placing him on the bed, not missing how light had taehyung become.

"angel..." jungkook whispered, which made taehyung just cry even more, he had missed it so much.

"y-you are so dumb, i-it's d-dangerous, wh-what if your father-

"shh, don't worry about that. are you okay?"

taehyung's lips quivered a little and he shook his head, clutching jungkook's hoodie. "i-i missed you so much." he cried, wanting to only be held by the younger boy.

"i missed you too.. so so much." jungkook whispered back. "did he hurt you?" taehyung hesitated before shaking his head, but that was enough for jungkook to understand that- yes, he hurt him.

the ravenette frowned, fists balling in anger, as he slowly reached to the hem of taehyung's thin shirt. he moved it up, his heart clenching by the red and purple bruises on the older's tummy. "it's okay, bun..." taehyung whispered, pulling his shirt down again, but jungkook hugged him tightly. "i-i'm so sorry, this is all because of me, you're getting hurt, you..."

taehyung brushed his hand through jungkook's hair, letting it entangled there, before he pressed a small kiss to the younger's forehead. "it's okay... you suffered even more.." he whispered, but jungkook shook his head. "me suffering doesn't mean you have to suffer too, i-i'm so sorry, angel."

taehyung smiled softly. "it's not your fault, so stop apologizing, bun."

jungkook just nodded. "have you eaten?"

taehyung stiffened by that. he hasn't eaten for days, jungkook's father didn't bring food for once, just a water bottle for him to not dry out.

taehyung's reaction brought jungkook's blood to boil inside of him and he quickly got up to walk to the window, where he had put the packed food outside on the window sill. "jimin's mother made this and i packed some for you." he said and taehyung felt like crying once again, because firstly, he was starving, secondly, jungkook is so thoughtful.

"thank you." he whispered, a small smile dancing on his lips as he took the food. "it's cold, i'm so sorry." jungkook said, taking the place next to taehyung on the bed, but before the older boy could answer jungkook they heard steps. their eyes widened, taehyung quickly put the food away and jungkook hid behind the door, which was the fastest hideout he could find. taehyung looked to jeongguk before they heard the sound of the door unlocking.

their breaths hitched.

"why are you awake?" the man's voice send an uncomfortable shiver down both jungkook's and taehyung's spine. "i just can't sleep." the silver-haired boy whispered and jungkook heard his father taking steps towards taehyung.

"then why are you so noisy!?" he gripped the boy's hair and when jungkook heard taehyung whimper in pain, he dared to look, his jaw tightening by the view.

he locked eyes with taehyung, who mouthed a small 'it's okay', so jungkook calms down. because if the man finds out jungkook's here, they would be screwed.

"how can jungkook fall in love with someone who is so annoying? do you know that he is happy to marry yuna, that he doesn't think about you at all? he agreed to the wedding so easily, maybe he is already over you." the man spat and taehyung wanted to roll his eyes at his words, because this man knows nothing about love.

"funny, because i know jungkook loves me." taehyung spat back and jungkook wanted to stop him, because he knew his father hates it when someone talks back.

"oh? he and yuna had really much fun today when she was here. they kept laughing, they seemed happy... do you think jungkook thought even once about you?"

'don't say anything tae, keep quiet.' jungkook pleaded, but we're talking about kim taehyung. "the whole time." taehyung said, jungkook's fear of his father hurting taehyung increasing.

but luckily all he did was pushing taehyung back by his hair and storming out of the room. when jungkook heard the click sound of the door locking and his father's steps fade away, he immediately ran to taehyung, hugging him tight. "you're so stupid, don't talk back to him." he whispered, taehyung smiled at that.

"why, don't you love me like that?" jungkook halted and gave taehyung a small kiss on the lips. "i love you even more."

"i love you too." taehyung smiled, his cold hand stroking jungkook's cheekbone. "i love you so much." he repeated, placing his forehead on jungkook's.

jungkook then reached over to the place where taehyung had hid the food and gave it to the male. "eat something, baby." he said and pecked taehyung's cheek, who blushed and smiled.

he ate the food, his tongue being thankful for finally getting to taste something again. he moaned at how delicious the food was. "dis ish so gowd." he spoke, mouthful and jungkook chuckled at his adorableness.

"eat slower." jungkook said, wiping the corner of taehyung's lip with his thumb.

taehyung continued eating and jungkook just watched him, heart throbbing at how exhausted taehyung looked. dark circles were marking his eyes, his lips were chapped a little, he looked paler and almost... almost lifeless, if it weren't for his small smile and his rosy cheeks.

"i'll get you out of here, baby, i promise." jungkook said and taehyung shrugged. "i know, i mean your father is a little dense, it doesn't seem that hard when you can so easily sneak in like that." taehyung said as if it's the most normal thing on the world to say.

jungkook just looked at him. "i'm sorry that you can't come back with me today and probably tomorrow..."

"i know, i understand. i would've done the same." taehyung whispered. what they were talking about was, that taehyung had to be here until the wedding, at least. if they escape now and call the police now, they'd take mr jeon with them, but it wouldn't help yuna with her relationship. that's why they have a plan. you might think now, why do they care about yuna?

they know how it is to be separated from the person you love.

and it's painful.

"you're staying till i fall asleep?" taehyung asked quietly. the couple was now laying kn the bed, holding each other close to their body. "i'm not leaving you for the night. i'm going back when the sun rises." the ravenette said.

taehyung smiled. "you need to rest though." he moved his fingers along jungkook's lips. "i need to take care of my baby." jungkook said and teased taehyung's side, to which the older let out a quiet laughter as he turned his back towards the ravenette.

jungkook smiled and pulled taehyung against his chest. "when all of this is over, let's move in together." taehyung's heartbeat accelerated by that. "wh-what?"

it was so sudden, that the words were left stuck in his throat, body melting when he felt jungkook kissing his ear. "let's find a small house, with a cute garden, just... for you and me." he continued kissing his ear and jaw and taehyung felt like dreaming.

"you want to live with me?" he asked, tears already forming in his eyes. jungkook hummed, taking taehyung's smaller hand in his bigger one and placing a kiss on its palm. "forever." he whispered. a single tear rolled down taehyung's cheek as he smiled and rolled back to jungkook, placing a kiss on his lips. "i'd love that." taehyung whispered back, as jungkook kissed the tear away.
