Until We Fall In Love | Taekook ✔

22. World vs Us

The fight attendee's voice died down and Jeongguk closed his eyes. The flight was about to take off. He controlled his breathing and imagined his life. The life back in Seoul. Was there any life for him? Was he going to live there? How?

Jeongguk remembered the teary eyes of Taehyung. There wasn't any hope. The last string that pulled them closer was broken. This is it. Their story maybe doesn't mean to complete. But Jeongguk will love Taehyung forever. Like the artist will love him back.

The old days were they used to be goofy and so in love, where they used to be crime partners and cringy lovers, it's all a faded memory. But not gonna leave them alone. The wound will hurt so bad. It's not gonna heal but remind them every time about their cowardness. They chose it. They chose their destiny. Look where they're standing now.

The chaos in the aisle made Jeongguk squirm a little. He hates to sleep while traveling, and when in flight. But, this is essential. Before leaving that happy land, he wanted to forget what's hurting him. Jeongguk tightly shut his eyes and mind from the world.

"Excuse me, if you don't mind, can we exchange seats, because I'm allergic to window seats. The last-minute boarding didn't help me. Can you... Please..."

The deep velvety voice disturbed Jeongguk's mind and peace. I repeat, deep velvety voice.

Then Jeongguk glanced at the male standing next to his client with puppy eyes. Jeongguk started trembling. This is happening. He's not dreaming in between clouds, feet above from the earth. Whatever he's seeing is true. Tae---Taehyung...

Jeongguk nodded to his client who was ready to exchange seats. With a smile, Taehyung thanked the male and turned to sit next to Jeongguk. But the next moment, his phone and passport whatever in his hands thrown to the seat and he was sitting in Jeongguk's lap.

It was like dream. Again, Jeongguk was holding his world. Taehyung's eyes brimmed up with tears. He left everything behind just to be there with Jeongguk, the love of his life. If Jeongguk is returning to Seoul, then Taehyung is not going to stay here where he has nothing. Not even a reason to live. It's all with Jeongguk. It's always Jeongguk.

Tears rolling down his cheeks and the artist hugged Jeongguk tightly. They both were crushing each other in their arms but nothing matters now. Their heart doing flips and stars exploding in their body.

The unhealed wounds are gone. There are flowers with beautiful petals. Clouds looked like pearl castles and they showering snow flowers over them. The beautiful purples coloring their hearts. It's their love. The most beautiful love. After all, they did found their destiny.

Jeongguk looked one more at Taehyung's eyes. The deep eyes hid admiration and love towards him. The longing and waiting are paid off. They're together. Eyes lingered on each other's lips, the thirst of the taste of each other pulling them close.  Within seconds, their lips met. Clouds and the sky witnessed their passion.

Jeongguk leads the loving kiss with soft movements. He nibbled Taehyung's lower lip and sucked lightly. Taehyung let a small whine and parted his lips. Jeongguk explored the hot wet cavern of the other, tongues entangled and tasting every bit of each other. It was bliss. After all, what it felt like decades, now they can't have enough of each other.

Taehyung's hands wrapped around Jeongguk's neck and pulled him closer while Jeongguk's arms encircled around Taehyung's waist. They pulled away to breathe. A red blush decorated their cheeks and Jeongguk connected their foreheads.

"I love you..."

Taehyung whispered. The pain that haunted him for years in his heart just vanished when he said those beautiful three words. He means it. Like the sun loves the moon. Like the stars love the sky, Taehyung loves Jeongguk. Or maybe, no one loves Jeongguk in the way or in the passion Taehyung loves him. Case closed.

Taehyung was waiting for Jeongguk to say those words back to him. But it didn't come. The artist felt a crack somewhere. He was hungry to hear those words. To remind himself that Jeongguk never stopped loving him.

Then the next words from Jeongguk made Taehyung's breath hitching and heart skip a beat.

"Marry me, Taehyung..."

Pause. The ambiance was fine. Altitude was good, clouds were nice, birds are flying away from them, flight moving towards the horizon, people around them sleeping or reading. And Taehyung just had a cardiac arrest. But he didn't pass away. Miracle.

The artist wanted to scream. He wanted to shout to the world that his fiance proposed to him in a flight, between the clouds, away from the stupid people and homophobic eyes, feet above sea level. Did Jeongguk just ask him to marry?

Taehyung wanted to say a thousand yes even half of his yes is enough for Jeongguk. All he could do is kiss Jeongguk passionately. And Jeongguk guessed it.

Too much with the game of fate and testing their love. It's time. He can't let Taehyung go away again. He didn't want to go away from Taehyung. This is the best time to end all those black eyes towards their love. Stay pressed, whoever you're, Jeongguk is going to marry Taehyung, in the end. Even if the world ends, Taehyung and Jeongguk will end up in each others' arms.

"I don't know... This is not a way to propose... But...I'm tired of this... You going away and I'm letting you go...

We're idiots. At least now, I want to do something right in my life...and..."

Jeongguk was rambling. His heart and eyes are at cloud nine. With Taehyung in his lap and proposing in the middle of their flight, the tour guide was going insane. Taehyung wasn't any better. They're both insane in love.

The artist pecked Jeongguk's eyes, nose, and then lips. Then whispered to him with an endearing smile.

"Yes, Kookie... I'm always ready to marry you... Let's be husbands..."

Jeongguk heard the last words and hugged Taehyung tightly, nuzzling into his neck and inhaling the other's warmth.  He felt peace. This is what he waited for his whole life. Live without any regret. And now when Taehyung in his hands and they're going to be husbands soon, Jeongguk just won the world, people.

Taehyung sighed in contentment. Staying like that in Jeongguk's lap, closer to his heart, listening to that beautiful symphony, Taehyung let himself sink in the feeling of a safe place. The warmth that only Jeongguk can give to him.

Passing the sky, they were dreaming about the day when they'll finally official to the world. They didn't need a certain day for that. Every day, they wake up as lovers. Every day, they fall in love and grow in love. It's just for the world and the suffocating society. They know they belong to each other. And nothing can change that.

Closing their eyes in bliss, they stayed like that, seizing the pleasure of the moment and being safe in each others' warmth.

Taekook wedding?

Y'all are invited! 💜
