Be My Only Sin (TAEKOOK 18+) Complete

Chapter 8

Taehyung can't get over the feeling of being betrayed. The feeling of being kept in the dark like some child too young to know the ways of the world, he has been denied freedom to explore, to make his own mind up about what his world should be like.

Being created an angel, Taehyung has never had any choice but to live an extremely limited and sheltered life, away from things that are much more real than anything in Heaven.

All he can think about are the wasted decades, centuries even. Doing nothing of consequence when he could have been living.

The thing that made him fall apart in JungKook's arms wasn't the loss of his virtue, it wasn't even the risk of losing his angelic status. No.

The thing that has him in pieces is the realisation that all he's going to have, is six days.

Six days to fill himself to the brim with experiences that need to last him the rest of his eternal life.

The thought of going back to Heaven, to the now too clinical a world of before, is the reason Taehyung is upset and not because of JungKook.

The bitter taste suddenly on his tongue goes perfectly with the dark feeling inside.

Taehyung doesn't want to be an angel anymore. There is nothing for him in Heaven, he realises that now.

Everybody hates him. He hates himself when he's there -that cold, dead thing that he has been for as long as he can remember, the thing that feels nothing, wants nothing but to succeed yet does nothing of consequence, only follows the footsteps already carved out in front of him.

Never again, Taehyung thinks.

When the door clicks shut and the sound of the shower filters through the bathroom door, JungKook sits on the side of the bed in confusion.

What the hell just happened?

JungKook has never experienced his partners crying after sex. His always eager and willing victims have been known to suffer from orgasmic stupor, elated mood, spent exhaustion yes, but not inconsolable tears.

But that's not even the weirdest thing about it. Absolutely the weirdest thing about it... is this dark heaviness in the pit of his stomach that he can only describe as concern -that's how unfamiliar the feeling is to him that initially, he doesn't even recognise it as such.

He's actually concerned, worried that he's hurt the Angel. Taehyung. That he's hurt Taehyung.

Since when has the top Incubus of Hell cared about his conquests, since when is he concerned over other people's wellbeing, let alone their feelings?

Well of course the answer is never.

He gets up and grabs a black t-shirt from the wardrobe just when Taehyung comes out of the bathroom.

JungKook's stomach twists with something unfamiliar when he sees the suddenly subdued Angel drag his feet, wrapped in a huge towel, looking lost.

"I-I need some clothes." His voice is quiet, small and all JungKook wants to do is make whatever is making him like that go away.

Instead, he finds a loose t-shirt and sweats.

Clearly no longer bothered about being naked in front of JungKook, Taehyung drops the towel and puts the clothes on in silence.
