.TWO.

"What is your dream, Bambi?", Taehyung asked suddenly.

He was resting his head on the cradle of his hands against the kitchen counter. He looked up as he noticed how the jungkook's back froze for a second, then proceeded to wash the dirty plates again.

Exhaling deeply Jungkook placed the plate on the corner of the sink, giving the asked question a thought for some time.

"To be healthy"

"But You are healthy, aren't you?," Taehyung whispered in an unknown tone after a moment. The boy kept his eyes low on the table, not daring to look up for the uncertain answer.

He busied himself by drawing small invisible patterns with his index finger on the hard surface, cheeks squished in the resting arm.

Jungkook shrugged, "Oh, It's not like that. I want to grow old with you, that's why I want to stay healthy". The male turned to look at Taehyung and winked at him.

Taehyung just smiled at the reply.

"You like me so much that you want to spend your oldie rusty time with me?", Taehyung teased the other male.

At that moment, Jungkook felt a rush of emotions going through his veins. He wants to scream at how much he loves taehyung and how the younger boy has no idea about it. Tears started pooling at the corner of his eyes. He tried to prevent it by blinking rapidly.

Be strong.

You can face it.

"Hey, mind you! I'm gonna look like the sexiest dilf even when I'm 70 years or more" Jungkook's feigned mockery voice made taehyung laugh.

"What about your dream?," Jungkook cleaned the last mug and put it on the dish stand after drying it.  He turned around and grabbed taehyung's hand to make him stand.

Jungkook hopped on the kitchen counter and pulled taehyung closer. The pretty boy just smiled and stepped forward to stand between the male's parted legs. Jungkook couldn't help but pinched the soft, puffy cheeks of the boy at which taehyung squeaked in surprise. They both smiled, looking at each other adoringly.

"To get married and have a family." Taehyung murmurs after a few seconds.

Jungkook hums. "Then you've to find someone nice quickly. Who'll make your all dreams come true." He caressed the supple skin of Taehyung's cheeks, kissing the forehead again.

"You are very nice and take care of me really very well. So, I can marry you then? " Taehyung felt the way Jungkook's arms tightened around his waist, then hid his face against Taehyung's neck.

Taehyung also noticed how weak Jungkook feels in his embrace.

Jungkook gulped, tried to laugh it off. " I'm not a nice guy. But I will find one for you."

Taehyung's smile dimmed, arms tightening on Jungkook's chest. "You look very tired. Are you not eating your every meal?" Taehyung changed the topic.

Jungkook pulled away to look at the boy. "If I request you to find someone and get married. Will you do that?", completely ignoring the previously asked question.

Taehyung took some time to process it, then lips curved around a hesitant smile. "Wow! Are you that eager to throw me away from our home?"

Jungkook pulled the boy to his chest, Taehyung's hands resting on his neck, breaths mingling with each other. "I'd never dare to think like that.

But you definitely need a person who's as beautiful, loving and caring as you. Who will love you, have a family with you, and grow old with you," Jungkook boop taehyung's pointy nose, chuckling at how cutely the boy scrunched his nose.

" I'd rather be happy if I get to stay with you all my life. I don't need anybody else except you. You got me when I had lost everything. And you'll get my back every time I need you" Taehyung's voice carried the immense trust and determination of what he just said.

Jungkook closed his eyes to stop tearing up. He rested his forehead against Taehyung's, breath tickling, overwhelming the other. There is always something so comforting, so fond about Taehyung's every touch on Jungkook's body. It's been the same for years now. Nothing changed.

He felt the warmth seeping through Taehyung's hand, rubbing his right arms back and forth.

"Do you want to tell me anything else, kookie?" Taehyung whispered softly, keeping his eyes closed. Not daring to look up to those shiny doe eyes he just fell in love all these years. Jungkook seemed to seek for answers but found none to deliver.

I want to hold you in my arms till I take my last breath. 

I want to kiss you till you lose your senses.

I want to live my future with you.

But he knew he couldn't. He had very little time left. He couldn't give his hazel new hopes even he wished to. So Jungkook pushed Taehyung gently to hop off the counter, "What is up to you today? You're asking too many questions. I worked all hard today. 'M sleepy. Let's go to bed."

Jungkook didn't wait for the younger's reply. He took Taehyung's delicate, soft hands in his and led him to their bedroom. Taehyung didn't utter anything after that. Gently laid down on their small bed, facing Jungkook's exhausted sleepy face.

Jungkook's fingertips lingered over Taehyung's silky silvery strands, tucking some stray hair behind his ear before he pulled away with an endearing soft smile. Taehyung is just so beautiful. Moonlight giving his tanned complexion a heavenly, gorgeous glow.

"Sweet night, hazel."

"Good night, Jungkookie."

As the night turned darker, Jungkook's sleepy mind found himself in a strong grip of arms and a soft nuzzle on his neck.

That's all he needed at that moment and forever.
