Breathtaking // Taekook

Chapter fourty three

The sun had already reached its zenith when Taehyung slowly opened his eyes. He sat up slowly only to lie down with a little scowl when he felt how painful his lower back was, although it was even hard to move because of the aching sensation, he couldn't help but to smile when the memories of the previous day flooded in his mind.

In just a mere second of joy and a slight glance beside him, a pout of confusion and a bit of disappointment orned his face as he saw the place beside him empty. He couldn't help to be a bit upset as he always wanted Jungkook's face to be the first thing he sees once he wake up. And it's already the last time he'll be staying there before leaving, but he couldn't feel that warmth that he was seeking for.

However, as he was about to get up despite himself, the door opened and Jungkook showed up with a tray of food, his eyes smiled before his lips as he saw Taehyung already looking at him with wide eyes and sulky lips.

A little chuckle left Jungkook's lips as Taehyung pretended to roll his eyes when he placed the food carefully on the bed. Jungkook already knew exactly why he was upset so himself climbed up on the bed and hugged Taehyung's waist.

"I'm sorry" but Taehyung still looked away "i didn't mean to leave you, i just thought of making a brunch and go to bed with you again but you turned out to be already awake"

Taehyung side-eyed him and Jungkook noticed but pretended he didn't just for tease. Taehyung didn't say anything though, he just began to eat, still showing how unhappy he was as he grabbed his chopsticks quite harshly. Jungkook couldn't help but to coo despite how hard Taehyung tried to look scary. He then took the chopstick from the younger's hands to feed him, as much as Taehyung wanted to stay upset, his heart couldn't help but to flutter when Jungkook placed the chopstick full of food infront of him with the most alluring smile ever.

"Darling, say ahhh" and Taehyung's fake miff vanished away and he ate like a happy kid. Jungkook just watched him foundly, the longer he starred at Taehyung's close features, the more he's amazed at how breathtakingly beautiful Taehyung can be even if he's just there, breathing, with his squishy cheeks stuffed with food or his pouty lips moving while munching cutely, or even the way he clapped his hands like the happiest child in the world because he loves whatever he's eating. Jungkook starred and he got lost, lost into that deep love that he never thought he would feel in a million of years. That love that made him rise, teach him, heal him, make him the best version of himself.

But it also hurts because that love is about to disappear from his life.

How can he survive after this? After finally realizing that he can feel this profound affection with someone, how can he just live a normal life again when he's about to let the only one he gave all his heart into? It was too late, perhaps, so reality caugh them hard. It hurts, as long as he's thinking about it, but he couldn't stop.

Jungkook didn't even realise that his tears were already moisturizing his cheeks until he heard Taehyung's voice, full of sudden concern, calling him.

"Hey, Jungkook, what's wrong?"

Jungkook cursed on himself when he saw how worried Taehyung looked while starring at him. He didn't want to burden the younger more with his helpless and stupid thoughts, he didn't want him to feel any regrets nor any apprehensions while leaving him. Taehyung has to be happy and...free.

"Ah? Nothing, i just..." Jungkook chuckled bitterly, wiping his tears away quickly.

"If there's anything troubling you, you can always tell me um?"

What if i tell you to not go?

"You're just too cute that i cried" Jungkook continued to giggle despite the remaning sobs from his tears, oh how good it felt when Taehyung just roll his eyes and brushed it off so Jungkook didn't have to show his hidden broken heart and crashed soul.
