Taekook One-Shots (Top Kook version)

Minefields PT.II ✔️

3rd person POV

Night came by soon and there was no way that Jungkook would wander in the woods searching for a walkie-talkie with Taehyung putting two lives in danger when it's clear that end result would be them both getting lost in the woods, starving and injured, and probably they'll pass by walky-talky in dark without noticing it.

So using his smart brain Jungkook decided to stay the night in the camp, eating beans cooked by Taehyung who insisted to make them by the peaceful fire which roared with red flames dancing to the sound of burning wood.

They both sat in peaceful and comfortable silence which was softly occupied by burning wood and small sounds made by insects.

"How old are you Taehyung? And how did you end up here?" Jungkook let out his curious questions after thinking for so long.

"I'm eighteen. I'm going to be nineteen in two months. Actually, my parents sold me to them." Taehyung said with a sigh.
Jungkook honestly didn't know how to reply to that.

"And you?" Taehyung asked without giving a chance for the other to say anything anyway.

"I'm twenty-five. It makes me your Hyung."

And they just lay on the ground, looking at the stars shining above their heads. Jungkook didn't know what is the prettier galaxy, the galaxy he could see in the sky above, or the galaxy inside Taehyung's eyes.

The next morning came and they part their ways as a strategy to find a walky-talky faster.
By noon Jungkook and Taehyung were able to find a walkie-talkie each.

Jungkook even managed to contact the nearest head office and give them information and they asked the officer and the survivor to come to the deck so that they can pick them up.

Taehyung helped Jungkook to walk as they went towards the deck through the woods and grounds which is like 6-7 hours away.

Even with the slightest touches, which were a lot, they felt something spark inside but kept quiet for the sake of not making the situation awkward.

It was peaceful until Taehyung suddenly stopped walking.

"Taehyung? What's wrong?" Jungkook asked as the latter was not moving.

Instead of a reply, Taehyung looked at Jungkook as tears streamed down his face which dropped something in Jungkook's heart.

Why fate would only bring suffering to him? His life had been a living hell until now, but now when he is finally free, his whole life is going to be snatched away.

"T-Taehyung, you are s-scaring me. What's wrong, love?" He was as calm as possible.

"Hyung... H-Hyung... Step away, please... Go back... D-don't walk here."

And it was all it took for Jungkook to understand what he meant. Of course, he should have been careful but walking with Taehyung took him into some kind of a daze. It churn something inside his heart knowing the younger wanted to protect him first before anything albeit knowing he stepped on a landmine.

"Hey, hey... It's okay. I'll save you." Although Jungkook was not an expert in bombs, especially not landmines and related, his mind immediately went blank but his first instinct was to calm the younger and save him no matter what. No matter what.

"I- I'm going to die, Hyung. T-thank you for saving me. P-please, please stay healthy and h-h-happy for me. Even if it was for a little time, I-I lo- l-like you." Taehyung cried without moving from his spot.

"Stop it Taehyung. You are not going to die. You are going to live. You are going to explore everything you couldn't; the sea breeze, cafes, concerts and everything else. You are going to live your life and no way I'm going to let it vanish before it even started." Jungkook uttered, determined although knowing the chances.

"N-no Hyung, please step away... Please... Hy-" But he was cut off by Jungkook; "Taehyung, I want you to survive, please. Go to the deck ok?" with a soft smile.
