🍁 MAPLE TREE 🍁

ch 21🍁

Tae turned and looked at kook, who was also crying.

"Wh-what d-o you mea-n?" Tae asked his heart was beating with an unexplainable feeling.

Kook didn't said anything and huged tae tightly while mumbling 'hyung' again and again, tae was also not any good he was just laying like a lifeless body in kook's arms.

"I- I am sorry hyungie, I never thought you were getting this hurt because of me, I just was not ready to face you again cause I was afraid you would leave me again and I was not ready to part again from you, it was really hard the first time, I am really sorry" Kook said snuggling his face into tae's neck.

Tae slowly pulled away from kook who was tightening his hold not to let go of tae but tae somehow managed to get out of his grip, he looked at him with his red eyes and cupping his face he asked "you are my bun?" Kook nodded his head and soon received a not so hard or light slap from tae who had again started crying and pulled kook in his embrace.

"Stupid, stupid, how stupid of you to think that it was the best way to get away from me huh, couldn't you talk to me once, your hyung huh did I mean nothing to you that you just abandoned me like that" Tae said and kook shook his head.

"No, no hyung it's not like that I really missed you alot I wanted to meet you as soon as possible but I held back cause I knew you would have to leave me and I did not wanted that, I had wished to live with you forever" Kook was just keeping his hold tight on tae as he didn't wanted to leave him even for a second.

There were no words exchanged for a while both were just basking in the presence of each other but soon tae broke the silence and said, "how stupid I was you were right in front of me still I couldn't recognize you".

"I am no less hyung I have been a fool as well you were also right there but still I wasn't able to recognize you as well".

"Tell me ko- bun, how have you been, how was your school life, your college and how were you, did you really missed me Or are just lying to me" Tae asked sitting in his bun's arms.

"I have really missed you hyung I still did, not a single day went where I haven't missed you, I really wanted to run back to you but I couldn't, I was heart broken when you left hyung I wanted to cry soo much but at the same time I didn't wanted you to feel that you made me cry and have you feel sad, I wanted my hyungie to not feel too much bad for me and that's why I never talked to  you cause I knew if I did I would end up crying and won't be able to stop myself from asking you to come back that's why hyungie I cut all connections with you for our own good and after that when I started my school I had got a couple of friends we got close and there I somehow was able to let go of the sadness in my heart but still you were always a part of my life hyung I never forgot you nor left you behind, you were right there with me in my memories even when I started college I didn't had the courage to get back with you, but I still tried but there was no luck cause mom told me that she didn't had any contact with you or your parents cause the number we had was never answered and that's why my last hope was also crushed but still hyung I never forgot you I never did nor I could ever do that" Kook said and tae listened to everything.

"You know bun I also missed you soo much I knew the look on your face told me everything but I had made up my mind that if you would stop me I would do anything and everything to not leave you but you never did and I knew why, it wasn't easy for me everyday I would end up crying thinking about you, I wasn't ready to live without you but I also can't trouble mom and dad soo much as well, so I also pretended that I was okay but I was not everytime I used to hope that I will get to see you even if it's through video call still I wanted to see you smile but you never did and that was the time I felt miserable I wanted to apologize but you never talked to me nor mom and dad, that was what had me feel devasted I thought that now I have lost my bun I can't get him back ever but look at us have been together since a few months still sooo dumbfounded" Tae said.

"Let's forget about it all hyung, let's start a new and move forward cause trust me I ain't letting you go anymore, I am gonna keep you right here by my side" Kook said and tae nodded his head.

"I also don't wanna go anywhere away from you".

Silence again broke between the two but they both were very much comfortable with that silence.

"Oh if I think about it now, it was soo obvious that you are my bun specially since we came here in Canada like you having your childhood spent here and the similar experience we both had along with you knowing the maple tree which if I think about is not something which people would have a connection like you had, I was soo dumb to not have thought about it before that if you knew that place than why haven't I met you before cause as long as I remember bun and I were the only ones who used to visit it no one else, so it's quite obvious it was you my bun cause you said it was when you were just a baby " Tae said and kook added.

"You are right hyung even when I heard about your childhood stories that day under the tree I felt nostalgic but thought that maybe it was just similarities that I felt at that moment, even the maple Leaf I saw on your cover I should have put a thought but I just shrugged it off".

"We both are dumb but not anymore, I can't wait to tell Jimin about this all, I swear he is gonna be soo happy" Tae said and so both tae kook bid good night even though none of them slept but still they were soo happy in their heart.

Next day both got ready to leave for their home and were too excited to start their days as bun and hyungie for each other.

They wanted to visit the maple tree before leaving but as the flight was early they couldn't but that doesn't mean they did not bid their farewell to the tree while driving towards the airport.

And once they were back at home they went to their respective home's to get a good rest before starting their next day at the office.
