Crush - Taekook

chapter - 16 ( Final )

Taehyung observed the younger more closely now. His face looked so pale gone all the rosy cheeks. He lips were chapped. Hair was a tousled mess. But he still looked so pretty. So so pretty. His eyes were closed. God does taehyung wanted to see the galaxies that permanently rested in his eyes. He so badly wanted to hear his soft voice calling him Hyung. Taehyung felt his throat tighten with over whelming urge to cry.

Although the doctor said that Jungkook is perfectly fine he couldn't help but feel his throat clogging up seeing the younger so lifeless yet peacefully sleeping on a hospital bed.

Jungkook's eyes slowly opened. Taehyung literally breathed a sigh of relief which he didn't know he was holding.

"Tae", he rasped, smiling a week smile and shakily reaching a hand out to him, which Taehyung took in his own before thinking twice about it.

"How are feeling? Are you in pain, kookie?" he asked, gently stroking the other boy's hand. Said boy coughed before trying to glare at him but he looked more like an Angry bunny.

"Tae, you  idiot,  how could you risk your life trying to get me out of there? Are you crazy? You could have died Hyung!" Jungkook coughed again, but already sounded much stronger than a few seconds ago.

That.. wasn't exactly the reaction Taehyung had anticipated. But then again, Jungkook wasn't like anyone he'd ever met. Taehyung only smiled. Fond.

"Can you honestly tell me you wouldn't have done the same author f I were in your place?" he asked quietly. The younger's doe eyes, which (holds the entire galaxies and Taehyungs' heart) were still on his, took on a soft but incredibly gentle expression. "Of course I would have done the same, silly. Probably wouldn't have thought of the scarf so we both would have died. But I would have tried."

Taehyung let out an soft amused chuckle "See?"

Jungkook sat up, coughing lightly again. "Still, how can I ever thank you? You saved my life, even after me being so weird when... When Mrs yang caught us." Colour crept onto his face, and his eyes were pained. "I am really sorry about that."

Taehyung was glad the younger was addressing that topic. "It's okay, kookie, really. I was just afraid that... That you regretted the whole thing."

The disbelief in the younger's eyes almost made Taehyung laugh. "Regret? Oh my god tae, you dumb head, how could I regret that? I was the one calling it a date and initiating the whole thing if you remember correctly!"

He had a point. Taehyung looked at their interlocked hands. When did they interwined their fingers? "True that"

Jungkook sighed in exasperation. "I don't know if I want a boyfriend who is that dumb, though." Taehyung instantly looked up to see the younger's eyes glint with that well-known mischief once more. "But maybe another late night date could convince me otherwise. Or... A kiss?" The last part sounded like a question.

Taehyung can only grin. Heart swelling with so much adoration for this Bunny boy "How about both?"

Jungkook forrowed  his brows in mock contemplation. "That's also an option."

Laughing, Taehyung got up from his wheelchair, bent over Jungkook, cupping his cheeks in his hands, and kissed him gently. It wasn't as passionate as their first kiss - more tender, more loving, full of joy of them being reunited. Taehyung felt that his happiness reached his peeks  knowing that the younger wanted this as much as he did, that he also wanted to be with him. Taehyung sighed happily when they broke their kiss to give the younger possibility to cough again. The younger rolled his eyes.
