Untitled Part 21

When people get what they want, sometimes they intend to be selfish. Trying to keep the things they have only for themselves. They would probably wants to preserve it as long as they can.

Here Jungkook got what he wanted. Taehyung confessed to him unknowingly. But Jungkook doesn't want to reveal it right now.

Why?

Because he loves to hear the innocent confession every night.

Yes, every night.

Jungkook still behaves coldly with him skip meals and sleeps on the couch. Or should I say act to sleep on the couch.

And exactly at 3 am every night, Taehyung comes with water and duvet for him. He cleans him and devour the unsaid words which he could not say to anyone.

He is alone in the house for days, without any means to communicate with anyone. Even Jungkook doesn't talks to him. So, every night Taehyung tell him what he feels for the latter. Unknown to the fact that Jungkook is hearing everything.

And Jungkook just stays there listening every word.

Yes, Jungkook is being selfish. But he chose to be one just to listen to the innocent voice of the younger. He loves when he tell him how much he respects and loves him. He wants to get up and hold the crying figure tightly, shower him with all his love but he chose to be selfish because the innocent words of an innocent man is all he wants in his life right now.

People don't often get to listen what other feels for them. But here he has got the chance and he is being selfish enough not to loose it.

He eagerly waits for his love to come and take care of him. Tell those sweet words. Complain for not taking care of himself (kook). He loves hearing those sweet words that the innocent man says.

It's been 5 days, and Jungkook was waiting for the clock to strike 3. Jungkook quickly layed down the couch pretending to be asleep.

Time passed slowly then usual. He waited enough but today Taehyung didn't came down. He checked the clock again it's 3 past 40 now. Taehyung has never been late in these 5 days.

Then why is he not here yet.

He waited for 10 minutes more. But can swear it was like spending 10 years. His heart began to ache for no reason.

With slow steps he went up stairs. His heart was beating fast, he caught the knob of the door and opened in slowly without making any noise. He peeked inside nervously hoping to see the younger. But what he saw inside the room shook him to the core.

There, Taehyung was sitting on the floor beside the bed chocking himself with the same book Jungkook gave him to learn.

" TAEHYUNG!"

Jungkook was shocked to see the scenario of the room was an understatement. The moment he saw Taehyung chocking himself, he screamed his name and ran towards him as if his life depends on it.

He tried to pull his hands away but Taehyung had gripped it tightly.

" Taehyung, leave this."

" J-jungkook-shi.... Why... Are you... Here.... Please go... I want to.... End my..... Suffering..." he said trying to grip the book more.

"No.... Please no... Leave this.... " Jungkook cried like a kid pulling the book with all his strength. He pulled the book and throw it on the bed.

" J-jungkook-shi..... Please I don't..... want to be... burden.... on you anymore.... I want to go..... Please.... " he said between his sobs. Jungkook couldn't see anymore, he pulled Taehyung in his lap and wrapped his arms around him.

" N-no... Please.... No don't l-leave me.... Don't do this to me Taehyung. " Taehyung cried loudly gripping his(kook) shirt. Jungkook rubbed his back smoothly.

" P-please don't leave m-me... I need you... P-please Taehyung.... Don't l-leave me babe...."

Both stayed in the same position for quite a while. Both cried hard in each others arms. The cries quite down gradually, only soft sniffs were heard in the room. Jungkook was still rubbing his back murmuring soft words.

" I'm sorry babe.... Please don't leave me.... I need you.... Please don't leave me.... I'm sorry...."

(Well Jungkook used the term darling in the original version. But it's some what not to my taste so I changed it to babe or love. )

It's been an hour but both are still in the same position. Jungkook looked to him as he heard soft snore from the younger.

Taehyung slept on his arms after the chaos. He can see dried tears on his cheeks. He caress his cheeks softly.

" I'm sorry babe... I love you..." he whispered before kissing his forehead. He let his lips linger on his skin for a while.

He picked him up bridal style and laid him down the bed. He tried to get up but stop when he realized small hands clutching his shirt. He leaned towards him and peck his hands before pulling his shirt out of his fingers.

He covered him with the duvet and sat beside him. He looked to the side where the book was thrown. He opened the book only to find every thing marked, every paragraph highlighted. Taehyung indeed read everything in the thick book. It was impossible for a person to read and learn everything in such a short time but Taehyung tried his level best.

He read each page, marked and revised the hard terms, and highlighted every important thing.

A drop of tear rolled down his eyes. He kept the book on the night stand and turned to him. He lied beside him and pulled him in his embrace. There is no way he will let him sleep alone tonight.

He caressed his cheeks slow and soft. He looks at the fragile boy in his embrace. He remembers how beautiful the boy was when he saw him for the first time.

But now....

Pale skin, puffy eyes, thin body. He made him like this. Though he saved him from the wrost place. Taehyung still is suffering. He regrets being cold and rude to him. But now he promised to himself not to make him cry again. He pecked his forehead before wrapping his hands around the boy and pulling him to his chest. He caressed his hair and went to deep slumber.
