Know Me If You Can - A Taekook Love Story

18 - What Do I Have To Do?

"You fucking moron!! What the fuck were you thinking?!"

Jungkook flinched at the rage in V's voice. He has never seen the man in anger like this and honestly, it was scary.

"W-what?" Jungkook stuttered uneasily as V was shooting lasers from his eyes.

"What?! WHAT?! How many times, Jungkook? How many fucking times you will do something idiotic like this?!"

V was beside himself with anger. What if Hoseok hadn't seen Jungkook? What if he was not able to make it here in time? What if he had been too late? So many questions and dreadful thoughts passed through V's mind in quick succession.

He had barely come to the dockyard when he saw Jungkook running out from there. He was still about a minute behind and if Jungkook had chosen to go the other way, it would have been over before V could even reach him.

V had to run towards Jungkook for him to reach the younger one before Jay's men did. Those 15 or so seconds were the most frightening ones V ever had in his life. He couldn't control his fears even when he had the younger in his arms so he had done the only thing that came to his mind. He kissed Jungkook.

Yes it was the best plan he could come up with at that moment but still, V couldn't believe he kissed Jungkook like that. His heart was already beating so fast from running but when he felt the younger's body and lips pressed with his, V thought his heart stopped.

The moment was gone too soon but V doesn't think he will forget how those soft flesh felt against his own, ever. He glared at the man who was still leaning against the wall, looking down without meeting V's eyes.

Jungkook looked so messed up. Beads of sweat running through the side of his face, fast breathing and even his body seemed to be shaking a bit. V was sure it was due to him coming out of his adrenaline rush. The thought of what would have happened if he were late, flashed through V's mind and he suddenly had the urge to feel the younger under his palm. To see, to confirm, that the latter was truly safe.

V took two steps and caged Jungkook against the wall with his arms, again. He could hear how the younger took a shape breath in, clearly shocked with what was happening right now. V leaned forward and put his head on Jungkook's shoulder. They stayed like that for a few seconds before V spoke up again.

"Tell me what I have to do."

V's voice was a little uneven and Jungkook blinked his eyes in confusion. His head was already too clouded from V's close proximity so he couldn't really comprehend what the elder was saying.

V raised his head and stared at Jungkook's wide doe eyes, before pressing their foreheads together this time. One of his hands cupped the side of Jungkook's neck, thumb gently stroking his cheek, while the other moved to hold his waist. V took a few deep breaths and spoke again in a soft voice.

"What can I do, so that you will stop taking risks like this?"

V's voice sounded shaky and even vulnerable. Jungkook felt himself melting into the hand that was over his face. For a moment, a tiny moment, Jungkook considered giving up, just so that he wouldn't have to hear V speak like this. But then he remembered how his sister's face looked when the police asked him to verify her. battered.. cuts and bruises all over..

"Help me kill Jay." Jungkook felt as if a stranger was speaking, using his mouth and voice.

V slowly pulled back to look at the man. His eyes had a strange emotion and neither one spoke for a few seconds as they both stared into each other's eyes. V was the first one to break contact by looking to the side.
