His Killer | KOOKV ✔

Forty Three

Location: Classified
Time: 9:29 pm

The ticking of the clock resonated in the whole room that is enveloped with nothing but darkness.

In the middle of the bed lies Jungkook, facing the sleeping face of Taehyung.

The glow coming from the moonlight served as his light to see the doctor's troubled face and his swollen eyes from too much crying.

When Jungkook waited for Taehyung outside Bangtan Café, it never occurred to him that he'll come out looking devastated and hurt with his tear stained face.

He was crying all the way to their home while continuously blaming himself for what had happened to his parents.

Jungkook felt helpless and hurt, seeing Taehyung cry that much. He had locked himself inside the room, crying hard until he had fallen asleep.

The ravenette carefully caressed Taehyung's face, gliding his thumb on each swollen eye as he felt a tugging in his heart.

He doesn't want to see Taehyung looking so hurt like this. He wanted to see him smile and shine with happiness because that's what he deserves.

Not like this.

If Jungkook had known he'd come home looking so down like this, he never had agreed to let him see his friends in the first place.

But then again, Taehyung deserved to know what had happened to his family.

Though Jungkook had been living alone for half of his life, he still understands the feeling of seeing a family member suffer.

He had been through that as well, and it's a hell phase he never wanted to go back to.

Jungkook leaned in, planting a soft kiss on each eye. He sighed, slowly pressing his lips on Taehyung's soft ones.

He pulled away a little as he stared at his face for a long while.

"Sleep well, Taehyung. I'll make sure to cast your nightmares away." He whispered, holding the latter's body near him in a tight embrace.

He leaned closer until their nose touched as he kept on staring at Taehyung for a long while until he had dozed off to sleep with his lover in his arms.

The morning came with the sun shining brightly in the sky, giving hope for a new day.

Taehyung awakened in the aroma of ground coffee filling the entire house. He stretched his arms, head feeling a bit heavy and aching.

He turned to look at the time and realized he had overslept once again.

The aroma strengthened, urging him to move out of bed, not caring to fix his disheveled hair as he made his way out of the room, following where the enticing smell was coming from.

He immediately located the smell coming from the kitchen where Jungkook was busy preparing their meal for the day.

Jungkook felt his presence, abruptly looking up to see his current state. He smiled, finding his morning appearance too cute to handle.

"Hi." Jungkook uttered, smiling at the doctor who took a seat in front of him with his half lidded eyes.

"The coffee smells good." Taehyung said, eyes landing on the brewer.

"I reckoned you'll be wanting to drink coffee for today." Jungkook winked, serving him with a hot coffee.

"Here. Drink up." The ravenette urged, making Taehyung smile.
