I'm Right Here// Taehyungff

Y/n POV

It was another day of work. Jaylee nagging with Seojun and Taehyung making sure everything is clean. I, on the other hand, was watching over the puppies and kitties. I didn't feel bored taking care of them, I just wanted to talk to someone. Jimin came into my mind, but he's busy this summer hanging out with his other friends every week. So that was a bust. My only friend left was Taehyung. But finding out he lo-... I can't even say the word. I just don't know what to do.

I watched the clock tick time away and my lunch break started. I went outside and headed to the convenience store to buy a sandwich, but stopped as my eyes laid upon Taehyung. He was there smiling at the cashier who looks at awe from his looks. I hid myself behind where the soda drinks were... but that didn't help.

" Y/n? Why are you hiding?" He sounded so casual as if nothing happened. No words came out. I just stood up and asked the cashier to give me a sandwich. Ignoring him isn't the resolution!!!!! I have to speak. As I paid for my sandwich, I found him sitting on our porch eating. I had no where else to eat so I sat right next to him. This awkward silence is going to kill me. I'll talk fir-

" Y/n. I need to tell you something."

I gulped knowing where this conversation was going. I nodded like an idiot and continued eating without making eye contact.

" I love you."

I look up at him and choked. As I was choking Taehyung came to the rescue and patted my back. I gasped for air and grabbed his hand. Taehyung turned his head. He continued...

" Are you okay?!" No words again. " Its okay if you don't want to talk. I just wanted to let you know that... you mean the world to me and that I'm sorry for the way I acted out last time. I was mad. It's no excuse though." He sighed and got up. " I finally said it." He turned his back on me and talked to Seojun and Jaylee.

I put my hand over my chest and this feeling wasn't going to go away was it?

------------------------------------------------------------

I was heading home like always. I laid on my bed and thought of his words.

" I love you."

It kept coming back over and over. Everytime I repeat it in my head the two pop out... Jungkook and Taehyung.  How did it end up like this? Would I feel this if Jungkook didn't go away? But I can only love one and that's....

" Y/n? You home sweetie?!!!"

" Yeah Auntie I am. I'm just..."

I hear footsteps coming toward my way and she immediately ran to me.

" What's wrong? Lately you have been dozing off and you really don't smile anymore. Somethings up. I know it and you can't deny it."

" Auntie... what happens if you have a boyfriend..."

" Yes...."

" but lately you have been getting closer to a guy you knew since freshman and he confesses to you? For some reason you feel like you can't stop thinking about them and you want to be with him for like a long time. You also feel happy when they're near or when they smile or when... he confesses to you and your heart is going crazy."

" Young love. The youth I wish I can return back to. Sweetie are you in love with your current boyfriend?"

" I do but..."

" Are you in love with Taehyung?"

" How did you know it was him?"

" I noticed. He's such a nice gentleman. Plus seeing him blush, uneasy and caring around you like that everyday gives the answer away. Do you see him as more than a friend?"

" He's also my best friend..."

" Does he make your heart flutter? Does seeing him with another girl make you angry? Does holding onto and relying on him make you happy and safe?"

" Yes."

" Then you're in love."

" But if Jungkook was here, it would feel the same right? If he didn't move, I would spent my whole summer with him only."

" That could be true, but if he were here, Taehyung would have found a way to meet up with you time to time. And if he got a chance he would make it special since he knows that you love Jungkook. He would make you feel like you're on top of the world. But that's just my prediction."

" I love Jungkook."

" If you love him, why don't you buy a ticket to the US. I mean if you did love him you would have thought of using the money you saved from working and babysitting to meet him. But you didn't. Taehyung was only on your mind. "

She's right. I have all that money and not once have I thought about traveling to Jungkook. But it doesn't seem right... to fall in love with someone else...

"You probably felt in the wrong that you fell for someone when he wasn't around and concluded that distancing yourself from Taehyung will make you love Jungkook more. Am I right?"

Do I really love Jungkook? I don't want to lose him and I love the way he is, but Taehyung has protected me and cared for me in such a different way. Jungkook and I have been dating for almost half a year now and yet I haven't thought about him that much. The smile that kept appearing was Taehyung's.

" And it's okay to fall in love with someone when you're taken. Falling in love is tough and sometimes you don't realize what you truly feel until you accept it. Jungkook is a good guy. I love him too. I have seen him grow up from a child to a man. He's like my little son, but if the person Taehyung is the one you want to be with then be with him. Break it down slowly to Jungkook and talk to Taehyung. I don't   know what you truly feel but it's your decision."

" Thank you."

" I sounded so inspirational right now," Auntie kisses my forehead and left.

I- I love him. I love Taehyung.

Jungkook POV

I can't wait to surprise her. It's been too long!!!!! I need to let her know I love her. I need to be by her side.

I need to let her know that she's mine and that I will never stop loving her.
