Arranged Marriage | Taekook Fanfiction |

Family

This is part of what a family is about, not just love. It's knowing that your family will be there watching out for you. Nothing else will give you that. Not money. Not fame. Not work.

'Kim Jungkook, you better take your lunch with you or I will come to the office to give it to you.' Taehyung shouted from the Kitchen as he tilted his head out of the Kitchen door to see if Jungkook was going to listen to him or not.

Jungkook picked up the lunch and ran towards his husband kissing him on the cheek.

'I am getting late baby. See you.' Jungkook breathed as he nestled in Tae's scent.

'Here! Go now. Take care baby.' Taehyung said as he put one piece of toast in his husband's mouth and handed another to him.

Jungkook wanted to laugh at his husband but he would drop the sandwich if he did. So he just handed over his lunch to his bodyguard and ran towards his car and motioned the driver to start instantly trying to tuck his shirt in his pants and smoothening out his hair.

'Aish! This boy will make my hair white.' Taehyung huffed. He checked the tea for his eomma and appa and put their breakfast in a tray as he took it to their room.

It had been five years since his marriage with Jungkook. A lot had changed in their life. For instance, Eomma and Appa were increasingly getting fragile. Eomma had been hospitalized for two days last week. Appa had been coughing constantly. Instead of walking or sitting in the garden, now they both had their breakfast in their room. Tae had to fight to make this happen, the chill air just made both of them sick too soon.

Tae entered the room breaking out of his reverie. He kissed both of them and sat with their breakfast, entertaining them with silly jokes and stupid things. As he was leaving, he could see the sad faces of his parents. They were getting frustrated in their room.

An idea struck Tae's mind, 'Eomma, Yoongi hyung and Jiminah are busy today. They will be dropping Sujim for babysitting today. Is that okay?'

Tae saw how his Eomma's face lit up. She nodded her head like an excited child. Tae smiled and moved to the kitchen. He placed the plates in the sink and called Jimin requesting him to drop their 5 year old daughter to his home. Thankfully, Jimin had nothing planned for Sujim today. So, he instantly agreed.

Tae took his plate of food and sat on the dining table. So much has changed, he wondered to himself. He remembered the day, Jungkook had asked to merge both the companies as one so that they could equally divide the work load.

Tae would never forget that night in his life. The doctors had only allowed one person to stay with Appa and Eomma wouldn't budge. Appa had had a heart attack and no one wanted to go home. Bit they were forced to. Although, Tae was scared if his Eomma would be okay but he knew he couldn't really ask her to stay away from her husband. Jungkook and Tae had come back home. Tae remembered how he had been so silent and how scared Kook was. In the end, when they lay down Kook had hugged him and asked him to let it out.

It had been like floodgates had opened. He had cried till the wee hours of the morning. Kook had gotten Tae something to eat from the kitchen, he remembered. That's when Kook had said it. They would merge everything. On good days, one of them would work from home and another from office. On bad days, they would take turns, sometimes Kook going to office and Tae taking care of his parents, on other days, Tae going and kook keeping the parents company and taking care of them.

Both of them had their medicine charts stuck to the fridge. Tae was amazed at how much he himself had started using the kitchen and cooking. It was like when he was a child, he would always find his mom cooking and he would be outside. Now it was his turn to be inside the Kitchen, sometimes, taking care of the house and his mother resting.
