ENIGMA

Chapter - 17

Jungkook gaped in the mesmerising view in awe while Taehyung fondly kept staring at how Jungkook's eyes sparkled as he took in the surrounding.Jungkook looked happy which satisfied Taehyung.He was happy, thinking, at least he didn't disappoint the boy on their very first date!

They were on the top of a hill area.It was a secured place which was far from the reach of the people of the city.There were some tall trees on the sides of the area as if protecting the place from human eyes.Jungkook could see the city view from where they were standing at that moment.

As it was dark, the whole city which was filled with different types of lights made the view even more beautiful.Soft bridge was touching their faces delicately, as if welcoming the lovers to the place.

"Tae, it's beautiful.I never knew a place like this exists in this city.Thank you for taking me here." Jungkook said to Taehyung, a soft smile playing on his lips while his eyes held so much adoration for the elder.

"Pleasure is all mine." Taehyung playfully replied making Jungkook giggle.

The elder took few steps towards Jungkook who was still looking at the view and engulfed him in a backhug.Taehyung too stared at the view while putting his chin on the others shoulder.Jungkook automatically put his hands on Taehyung's which were resting on his torso with a shy smile.A sigh of content left his nostrils as he felt how warm Taehyung's hugs are.

"I come here whenever I need space." Taehyung didn't even realize when he start speaking.

Jungkook frowned at the elder's heavy tone.His voice sounded like he was carrying something really heavy inside his chest.

"You know, when everything becomes too much...I find peace in this place.No-one is here to judge me, it's just the nature and I....Whenever I feel like going somewhere where nobody knows me, I come here....It's peaceful.I find solace...." Taehyung mindlessly continued while Jungkook listened to him with so much concern.

He rubbed his palms on Taehyung's hands that were still hugging him to make him feel at least a bit better.Jungkook couldn't regret more to judge the elder without knowing him, like those people do.He felt ashamed of himself.

Now that he can see Taehyung from this close, now that he can melt in Taehyung's warm embrace, he knows Taehyung is Taehyung.He is not the arrogant actor who's full of himself, he is not the careless celebrity people know.

They think Taehyung doesn't give a fuck about others but what are they doing themselves?Aren't they hurting Taehyung's feelings by judging him every now and then?Aren't they the reason why Taehyung can't live his life freely like other human beings?Can't they understand that Taehyung has a personal life too?Don't they know the difference between Taehyung being professional and Taehyung having a personal life behind the cameras?Why paparazzi and the so called fans always come after Taehyung even when he's minding his own business!

Jungkook's heart ached thinking about how miserable the elder's life is.Now that he thinks about it, he would definitely hate it if he was in Taehyung's position.He would be pissed off at everyone who made him feel so suffocated.He wouldn't be able to behave politely to those people knowing they are the ones causing him those problems.Jungkook would behave worse than Taehyung does if he was in his place.

But Taehyung is different.He is patient.He is passionate in everything he does.He knows how to maintain a professional life.He loves his profession the same even after all the judgements and hate that came along with it.There's no doubt that Taehyung is a strong man!

Jungkook wonders how Taehyung is able to love his work so much, that too after knowing it's the reason behind his lost freedom.A smile slowly adorned Jungkook's face thinking a man like Taehyung chose him out of all the people.He turned around and hugged the elder male taking him off guard.
