EX & WOLF? | KOOKV

Ch 91

Jungkook's up and across the room in a split second. Ripping open the door like a madman in hurry and then Taehyung is there.

Taehyung glares cheekily. "You suck at confessions"

When he stands at Jeongguk's porch it all drawls back to him. That when he met the dark haired boy with doe eyes he was seventeen. Jeongguk was a little awkward and clumsy when he met him, something that hadn't been up to his popular reputation. He tried to impress him in all ways. Weather he lied about reading a book Taehyung liked in the moment, only to go home and read it for hours even when he despises the thoughts of them. Sometimes he never failed to stub his toe on something whenever he sees him. He was all sort of things, but Taehyung loved him.

And when he confessed, it was all forward.

They were meant to be with each other.

But Taehyung had to also learn that behind Jeongguk's smiles, and eyes that hold his own, that between then and now love isn't as gentle as him. It makes his insides crawl and his eyes burn. It makes the rush turn to noise in him and the time he first kisses Jeongguk underneath this same porch doesn't come as easy anymore.

And once he know how great and breathtaking love can be under his breath, it will hurt.

Before Taehyung knew it, two years had passed between them and
Jeongguk became his lungs. Two years passed and Taehyung had never learned how to live without letting go of Jeongguk.

"I'm sorry gguk. I loved you, a lot" Taehyung purses his lips, stares at his fingers instead as the embarrassment starts to seep in through him and he's always hated to say things out load.

"I love you" he admits instead quietly, shoulders slouching in defeat and there's a shakiness crawling his throat.

"I didn't want to break up with you- I really didn't it was just so much and I-" Taehyung cracks. Feels the tears rushing to his cheeks and he chuckles dumbly. But he wishes he can stop, because it sounds more like he's in pain.

This isn't like him. To cry so easily. He values his image and pride above all else. But Jeongguk makes him break. He makes him never follow his own rules.

"Tae-"

"And sometimes I just want you to kiss me again.." Taehyung sniffles, and he finally looks up at Jeongguk. Meets his baffled gaze.

It's quiet, to quiet. Standing under the dimmed lights. Under his gaze.

That's when he finally takes a strides forward until he's he's right before Taehyung. And a shaked breath leaves his lips when the Jeongguk's fingers run through his hair and tilts his head back just the slightest.

And when he leans in close to his lips, Taehyung misses him. Jeongguk moves his face even closer and Taehyung thinks he's about to kiss him, his lips only a mere inch away and his warm breath makes the chills of the cold turn to warm cheeks. But he doesn't.

He only holds his eyes in his, the pad of his thumb stroking the tears on his cheeks. "Let's go inside" Jeongguk's deep husk whispers against the shell of his face, before he presses a soft kiss on his forehead.

Taehyung inhales the slightest, heart beating when he nods and allowing himself to be dragged by Jeongguk's hand inside Jeongguk's familiar space.

Thinks that's the most terrifying part of love is that you can miss something so terribly that he let's it consume him, and there's nothing to tell him to stop. The feeling of regret isn't there, not when a warm body is next to you.
