sweetheart margarita | DISCONTINUED

Jungkook's chest tightened, as he took what felt like his last breathe of air. His breathing was unsteady, and his heart rate was rocketing. His hands shook violently as they reached to cover his ears.

"Mingyu said you were off the rails, now look at you. Just as pathetic as he described. Already found a new man, shameful slut y-"
Before he could finish his sentence, he was met with a fist right to the centre of his face causing him to lose balance. Taehyung punched him again and again, stopping when he could see a bloody face.
"Fuck right off" Taehyung spat.
Everyone around them gasped, hiding away the children to stop them from seeing what was happening.

The mysterious man just started laughing and looked at the boy curled in a ball on the ground, sobbing.
"Just you wait" he flicked the blood off his lips with his thumbs before staggering off.
Taehyung huffed, before his attention was taken back to Jungkook. He crouched on the floor and tried calling his name.

"Kook? Please respond. Baby it's me. Come back to me baby, please koo" Taehyung begged, petrified on what was going on.
Something snapped in Jungkook as he lifted his head weakly. His eyes hooded, with a pale, sweaty face.
He instantly crawled towards Taehyung and fell into his arms. The latter caught them, stopping them from falling backwards and just embraced him.

Did he care that they were hugging on the shopping mall floor? No, of course not, his main priority was the one laid in his arms.
"I've got you, you're safe" Taehyung whispered, kissing his forehead as he rocked them.
The crowd began to trickle away, leaving them too it as the real chaos was over.

Jungkook was quivering in his clutched onto Taehyung's jacket digging his face into the elders neck. Taehyung rubbed the boys back and kissed the boys head repeatedly.
"You're doing so well baby" Taehyung soothed the boy, hushing a few sweet words to him while rubbing the younger's back.

When the younger stopped shaking so much and his cries turned into sniffs Taehyung pulled the boy away from his neck so he could cup his cheeks instead.
"Baby, what do you want to do. We can go home if you want? I got what I needed to get, do you want to go home?"

Jungkook shook his head, while letting his cheeks get squished by the males fingers.
"Let's carry on, wanna get a smoothie" Jungkook sniffed.
"Okay, but if you want to leave for any reason we'll go" Taehyung kissed the younger's nose and caressed his tears away before they both stood up.

Taehyung quickly interlocked their fingers together dragging them to the smoothie bar. Jungkook squeezes Taehyung's hand as a thank you. He didn't want to talk, he just wanted to take in the warmth from Taehyung.

Taehyung didn't force him, he knew he was probably really tired so they took their time going around shops, with Taehyung buying some things for Jungkook, although the latter tried to protest not wanting Taehyung to spend his money, but Taehyung didn't take no for an answer.

They were currently heading back to Jungkook's flat as Jungkook wanted the comfort of his bed and to just be alone. Taehyung understood with no problem and happily offered to take him home. But before he did he stopped at an ice cream shop.

Jungkook's arms were clutched around Tae's waist with his chin resting on Tae's shoulder. He pulled the bike up outside a some sort of shop which was brightly lit.
"Come on, I'll buy you some ice cream before I'll take you home" Taehyung said as he got off the bike, helping Jungkook off.

They walk in together, and walked to the counter looking at the different flavours.
"Choose what you want, it's on me" Taehyung nudged the younger who nodded.
Jungkook's eyes softened looking directly at Taehyung before he looked at all the flavours.

"Can I have a scoop of cookie dough please" Jungkook asked the cashier who nodded with a smile.
"I'll take a scoop of honeycomb" Taehyung said, as he got the money out.

The two took their ice creams and sat in one of the booths looking at one another.
"So I thought I'd give you a surprise today, that was the whole reason why I took you out, so here this is for you" Taehyung smiled sheepishly while taking a small black box out of his pocket and slid it over the table to him.

Jungkook looked at it curiously and opened it up. His breath was taken away from him as tears brimmed. There in the box was a silver necklace which had their initials engraved into a small heart.
"T-Tae"
"I also wanted to ask if you would be my boyfriend? There's no pressure, no rush and I know we said we were both comfortable with the no labels thing, but I realised calling you my boyfriend would mean everything to me. I know I'm not the perfect person ever, and I carry a lot of baggage, but I want to get better, I want to fix this. Jungkook you make me want to be a better person"

"Tae" Jungkook chimed.
"I promise I'll do better, but I can't let you fall away, I don't want to be selfish but when it comes to you I need to be selfish, I don't know want to make the wrong choice and see you with someone else"
"Taehyung" Jungkook shouted a little louder cutting Taehyung off.
"Yes, I'll be your boyfriend, Taehyung you're everything to me. I don't care you if you have this baggage, we have each other and we can share it. We will talk about it another day, but I think we should get you some professional help for your habits"

Taehyung shifted in his seat and nodded.
"Okay, yes, I want to do it, for you and for us"
"It should also for you too" Jungkook took hold of the elders hand a kissed it softly, he was tired and his social battery was draining and was finding it hard talking. Taehyung understood and encouraged him to stand up so they could go home.

Jungkook stood up and met Taehyung as they stood up. Taehyung placed the necklace which Taehyung had got him on, which sat perfectly. They both paused for a second, before pulling each other into a hug. Jungkook tucked his head under the elders chin and sighed.
"My sweet sweet boyfriend" Taehyung whispered kissing his forehead.

"Let's get you home baby"
Jungkook placed his legs around Tae's waist, with the elder catching him, he walked them to the motorbike and settled him down.
Taehyung drove them home safely, cooing at the boy through the side mirrors.

Once they got to the flat complex, they got off the bike and Jungkook took the helmet off.
"Thank you for today, the necklace, the ice cream, and being my boyfriend. I'm sorry I can't spend tonight with you"
"It's okay baby, I completely understand you don't need to apologise. Now make sure you get some rest"

"If you can't sleep, call me okay, don't even hesitate" Jungkook caressed the elders cheek softly.
"Thank you, same with you, if you need to call me don't hesitate" Taehyung brought the younger into a soft kiss, which they both enjoyed.

"I'll see you later"
"Good night Tae" Jungkook gave his boyfriend one last squeeze of a hug before rushing in and going to his flat.
He opened the door and let himself collapse onto the bed. He had never felt so many raw emotions all in one day.
Love. Happiness. Fear. Terror. Anger. Vulnerable. All of it.

He didn't even bother brushing his teeth or anything. He turned off his lights and wrapped himself up in his duvet. He laid on his side and took a deep sigh, wanting nothing more than to just sink into his mattress. The tears started streaming down his face and onto the pillow. He didn't wipe them, he just left them flow.

Everything that he had been through with Mingyu who was a manipulative pathological lier just all came to him at once. Hours passed of just Jungkook crying alone in a dark room, enveloped in his duvet. He was missing his boyfriend like mad but he didn't want to see him in the state he was in. He wasn't ready to talk about it, the memories were too fresh and too raw for it all.

Jungkook took another breath before his phone started ringing. Jungkook looked to the side and saw Taehyung's contact name pop up on the screen. Jungkook answered the call seeing it was a face time. Although their screens were dark there was a faint like of both of them on either sides.

"Hey baby" Taehyung's deep voice husked out.
"Hey Tete, are you okay?" Jungkook asked softly.
"Hm couldn't sleep"
"Neither" Jungkook sighed.
"Are you doing okay darling?" Taehyung asked.
"Yeah I'm just tired, but can't sleep and a bit of a fuzzy head"

The two ended up on face time with each other until they both fell asleep. Taehyung fell asleep first as Jungkook wanted to make sure that he was sleeping peacefully before he began sleeping himself. No matter what, they had each other.
