12. How Jungsun met Taehyung

Taehyung's POV

"I should go now, take care" I said, turning towards the main door to leave when I heard Jungkook say, "Hey, wait-"

I looked at him behind my shoulder, unsure about what he was going to say.

"Stay.."

"Will you stay for the night..?"

I turned around properly this time, now standing face to face with Jungkook. I didn't believe the words he had just said and thought for a split second if my ears were ringing.

"What.." I asked, disbelief evident in my tone.

"Will you stay here for the night, Hyung?" He asked, voice clearer this time, but his eyelids looked glossy with a light shade of red.

For years, I had waited to hear those words.

For years, my heart had longed for this day, when Jungkook would feel safe enough to have me around him and Jungsun.

For years, I had regretted the day I thought about stripping him off the job, for which he had worked so hard and diligently.

For years, I had felt the guilt of doing all that to him out of impulsivity.

I was responsible for making his life so miserable, so every part of me knew I deserved to bear the painful separation from my family.

If only I had enough patience to listen to him, and not just react, he wouldn't have to go through so much.

So this time, when I came back into his life, I knew I had to start all over again. With all of my patience and love, I came closer to him, nothing forced or controlled.

I let the time unfold what was written in our fate and never gave up on my efforts.

My love and patience was all his and Jungsun's for the rest of my life.

They are my sole purpose in life, is what helped me get back to Jungkook again.

I became a better version of myself, the version I never thought existed within me.

Amongst many thoughts such as these running through my mind, a faint smile formed on my face as I mumbled, "Yeah sure..."

"Thankyou hyung" he said as his lips curved upwards in a wider smile. He locked his eyes with mine for a split second, until tears welled up in my eyes, and then he broke the eye contact and said, "Go wash up. I'll give you some comfortable clothes to wear."

With that, he walked quickly to search for the clothes and I went to take a shower, a much more relaxing one.

Midnight
Taehyung's POV

"Is he asleep?" I whispered as I entered the room carrying a hot water bottle with me for Jungsun's aching tummy. The kid kept whining every now and again with discomfort, so we decided to do some good old home remedies.

"Nah, he was whimpering a minute ago" Jungkook replied almost mindlessly as he kept cradling the toddler in his lap and tapped his legs while humming a soothing lullaby.
