Stay.

Chapter 14

over the next few weeks, jungkook kept his promise. he would text taehyung everyday. mostly at night, saying that he missed him. sometimes they would text a little longer than other times. on some days, jungkook would only send one text telling taehyung that he's okay, but on other days he'd make it up to taehyung by talking to him for hours. to taehyung's surprise, jungkook even called him twice up until now.

the calls weren't too long, but they meant the world for taehyung. he could actually hear jungkook's voice that he missed so much. and even though the younger sounded tired, he always assured taehyung that he's okay. and that made the latter okay.

now taehyung sat behind his desk at work, tired after a long day, when his assistant, and friend, knocked on the door then came in. "you've been working really hard taehyung, you need a break." his assistant, jimin, said once he entered the room, holding a bouquet of flowers.

putting the bouquet on taehyung's desk, over the sketches he's been working on, he said.,  "these are for you." pointing at the flowers.

taehyung's eyes widened, "for me?"

"yup, they just came in for kim taehyung. it has a card in there somewhere, but no i didn't read it, unless you want me to." jimin grinned when taehyung gave him the fuck off jimin look. yes. they had a look just for that, because jimin can get really curious at times. "okay then, i'll be in my office if you need me." and he was out the door.

taehyung took the flowers in his hands, smelling them. then he looked at the card that read,
'i know you're stressed because the project you're working on is really important for you, but don't forget to take a break every now and then. take care of these flowers until i come back. i miss you.'

he couldn't help the insanely big smile that spread across his face after reading that. he spent a whole hour yesterday talking to jungkook about his project and how anxious he is about it, and now jungkook did this for him. for taehyung. and that makes taehyung love jungkook harder.

he took his phone to text the younger, smile still as big as ever. 'you're actually really insane jungkook. thank you so much for the flowers. i love them.'

now he had to wait till night comes for jungkook's reply, but it's okay. he was too happy to care. too deep into his thoughts about jungkook, how caring and sweet he is, how handsome he is, how everything he does makes taehyung love him, when his phone vibrated in his hand. and to his surprise, it read jungkookie.

jungkookie:
how did you know it was me
i didn't even write my name
fbi alert

taehyung giggled at that, 'you're the only one who knows how stressed i am about my project, everyone else thinks i'm cool about it bc i'm used to it"

jungkookie:
okay well
did they make you smile

reading that alone made taehyung smile, can you tell what that note did to him? 'stop doing that, it's not good for my heart'

jungkookie:
jeez i didn't even do anything
but if it's not good for your heart
does that mean i should stop texting you
i need your heart to be okay mister

taehyung shook his head at the youngers texts, smile still present, 'not texting me is way worse than texting me you know'

jungkookie:
how about seeing me face to face?
wait for me
🤍

taehyung's heart stopped. he wasn't lying, this really wasn't good for his heart.
