Space Voyage | VKOOK by LARRYVGL

Thirty-five

Jungkook and Taehyung stumbled into their room and Jungkook instantly jumped onto the older boy, both falling onto the floor. Taehyung groaned in pain, and Jungkook grabbed his chin.

"Some things don't make sense," Jungkook said.

"Yeah like... how John F. Kennedy died. I mean, does anyone really know? Personally, I think the CIA-"

"No, Tae," Jungkook said, and then glowered at him. "I mean... didn't you know you were hurting me too? Why did you keep being mean to me if you saw me in pain?"

Taehyung sighed. "The truth is... all I could think about is how angry you got at me before the whole lava planet incident. I mean, even before I got onto that other spaceship, I was having doubts about you being my soulmate.

Soulmates aren't supposed to get so angry at one another." Taehyung mumbled, and Jungkook frowned.

"So I thought you weren't really in pain. I-I don't know. I was being a dickhead, and I shouldn't have been. I just got scared, I guess! I mean, Lavender saved my life, y'know? That's not just something you can repay with a simple 'thank you'."

"I-I guess," Jungkook mumbled, and then looked at Taehyung wearily. "So... this whole pain thing. It's because we're linked as soulmates, right?"

"Yeah. If I neglect you or become distant, the two of us hurt." Taehyung said, and Jungkook's eyes grew big.

"A-and what about the dying thingy? W-weren't you supposed to kill me?" Jungkook asked softly, and Taehyung shrugged.

"To be honest, I have NO clue," Taehyung said, and then laughed. "I mean- who knows! I thought it meant I was gonna kill you- but then you killed me! Kind of. I didn't die though. Wait-"

"Whatever. Maybe it's gonna happen in the future or whatever. It's fine." Jungkook said, and then wrapped his arms around Taehyung's neck. "I'm coming in terms with being your soulmate now, Taehyungie."

Taehyung blushed blue, wrapping his arms around his waist. "I-I missed you so much."

"I did too. Even if it was for a day. I cried a lot. You can ask the boys." Jungkook said, booping Taehyung's nose.

"I believe you, baby," Taehyung said with a fond smile, kissing his lips. Jungkook grabbed his cheeks and kissed him back, smiling as he did.

Suddenly, the ship began shaking. Jungkook's eyes widened, and Taehyung looked up too. A red alarm started beeping throughout the ship- and the robot voice shouted Object in direct motion towards the ship, I repeat, Object in direct motion towards the ship-

"Fuck!" Taehyung shouted, standing up and running outside of the room. Jungkook followed, panic filling his insides. They both ran out of the room and as fast as they possibly could to the control room. They walked in and saw everyone else in there already.

"Meteors-" Jungkook let out with widened eyes, and saw how Taehyung didn't hesitate to rush to the empty seat he found by the control table. Hoseok and Namjoon were already seated there, while Yoongi was pressing some buttons on a panel in the side, ensuring all systems on the ship were fine. Jimin, Jin, and Lavender stood by, all looking fearful- standing there shocked.
Hundreds of giant brown rocks flew past the spaceship, leaving gaps of space in between them which the spaceship had to rev through. Namjoon was holding down too buttons to ensure the spaceship went really fast, while Hoseok controlled the direction. Taehyung helped Hoseok.

Jungkook watched Namjoon looking tense, shouting out orders, while Hoseok looked utterly focused, moving the ship right to left. Taehyung moved the levers forward, seeing how they dodged the meteors, barely.
