Run Away With Me (2/2)

Red.

It's all he saw when he looked in the mirror.

Red eyes.

Red nose.

Red lips.

Red.

He figured he could apply some products to cover up the redness, maybe even paint on a fake smile. Create a mask so he could lie to everyone that was downstairs waiting for him. Then again they should see, every single person down there should see what he was being forced into. They should witness it for themselves. How unhappy he was, how much he was being made to stand and act out what was demanded of him.

Among all of the guests, there was only one who he truly wondered for. Would Taehyung notice his discomfort? If he did, would he do anything? Would his mate be by his side? Had his favorite person in the world become blinded by his bond to notice his tears?

Did he matter to him anymore?

It had been weeks since he had seen Taehyung, the last time was his birthday, after that, it was silence.

For now he wiped his tears, sniffled back his anxiety and told himself and his wolf, who was relentlessly whining, that this was what their life had been reduced down to. This was what they had become destined for.

A knock came from behind him. It sounded fast and hurried.

"Umm.." he looked once more at his face, frowning when he saw dread staring back at him. "C-come in..." he hurried at wiping away his tears and fixing his hair once again. "Sorry hyung, I'm ready" he turned expecting Hoseok.

Kim Taehyung stood leaning against the closed door, eyes staring straight into his. There was a different air about him, almost as if his wolf was forefront yet his eyes remained their natural shade. Dressed in an all black suit, he was the epitome of handsome.

"Oh?" Jungkook's eyes widened before he quickly looked away, wiping his face once more. Taehyung looked like a Greek god and here he sat looking like a mess. "I'm sorry Taehyung hyung, I didn't know it was you. Did hyung send you?"

"He did" Taehyung took a step towards him as he stood from his seat. "But not for what you are thinking"

Jungkook became confused. "What do you mean?" Did he dare to dream that Taehyung was helping him escape this mating?

Taehyung took another step and then another. If he took one more they'd be nose to nose.

"I've come to collect you"

"Oh...ok" Jungkook's heart fell at the words. For a half second he believed that Taehyung had come to take him away from here.

Noticing the fallen features that were already becoming overshadowed by the look of utter brokenness, Taehyung took that final step forward. "Let me rephrase that" Letting all hesitation out, he gathered whatever courage he could muster at finally confessing and let his hands slowly slide up the sides of Jungkook's face until he was cradling him in a gentle hold. "Run away with me"

"W-what?" Jungkook's heart had pinched at the closeness, the contact, the eyes portraying affection that he had only dreamed of. Words that were speaking fantasies of a future he so desperately wanted. "Hyung..what-.."

"Tell me you love me as I love you. Tell me you don't want that person out there as your mate" Taehyung's voice became riddled with desperation, it broke in between words as his eyes filled with his own fears of his love rejecting him. "Tell me I'm not crazy to believe that you have accepted me just as I and my wolf have accepted you. Tell me Jungkook" he inched closer, only a breath of air between them.
