The Vow

"Seokkie, please I am sorry...really sorry. I apologize but you know you need to give me time", Jungkook tried to reason but Hoseok won't have it.

"No..."

"Seokkie....please"

"N.O. No. Kookie, this has to stop. I came to work with you again, have a relationship with you even though my brother was completely against it. He was even against our relationship but I stood up for us. I don't know why you are shit scared of Gguk. Do you want me to talk to your brother?"

"I am not scared Hobi..." Jungkook ran his hand through his hair. "Okay. Look, you need to understand this. How can I tell him I am in a relationship when he doesn't have any? I am scared not "of" him....I am scared "for" him. How can I tell him I wanna get married before him? What will people say? Shouldn't the elder brother get married first?"

"What did you say?", Hoseok looked at Jungkook surprisingly.

"Shouldn't the elder brother get married first?"

"No before that."

"I wanna get married part?", Jungkook asked.

"That's it. What was that about?", Hoseok asked.

"I wanna marry you."

Hosoek scoffed. He thought Jungkook was kidding. "You wanna marry? Who?"

Jungkook rolled his eyes. "Do you see anyone here Hobi apart from you?"

"Why?"

"What do you mean why? I love you and I wanna get married to you."

"We have known each other for less than 3 months, we have been boyfriends not less than 24 hours and you wanna marry me? Are you kidding me Jeon Jungkook?" Hoseok was taken aback by this sudden revelation.

"No I am not kidding you Jung Hoseok. If I was I wouldn't be fucking carrying this ring around.", Jungkook took out a box from his pocket showing it to Hoseok. Hoseok's mouth fell agape.

"What the hell?" he grabbed the box and looked into it. There lied two beautiful bands. Hoseok looked at Jungkook who suddenly burst into laughter.

"Oh godddd, you should have seen your face." Jungkook was laughing at Hoseok's reaction.

"This is a couple's band, you mook. I thought it would look cute so I got it for us. But man, you nailed your expression." Jungkook mimicked earning a punch in the stomach from Hoseok.

"Not funny", Hoseok gritted. But Jungkook simply shrugged. "Oh, come on Hobi, you have to admit it was a bit funny....and you think I would propose you like this?" He smiled but soon turned serious. He pulled Hoseok towards him who reluctantly gave in. He held Hoseok's face and made him look at him. "But seriously, Hoseok? Where do you see us 5 years from now?"

"I don't know Kook, I want us to be together but I just got into modeling. This is not just a career but my passion too. I literally fought the world to become a model. I won't leave it just like that." Hoseok said as-a-matter-of-factly.

"I know. I understand." Jungkook withdrew himself from Hoseok.

"But, no matter where I am or what I do, I see my future with you", Hoseok said that made Jungkook look at him. (A/n: Hey that rhymed. ;))

He hugged Hoseok tightly. "Thank you Seokkie."

------

As days passed, Kook and Hoseok spend some more time together though outside the office. At office, they maintained their distance because Jeongguk too was there in Kook's cabin.

Gguk was a good person and a good boss to everyone. All the employees loved him. Even though he couldn't express his feelings freely, he always ensured that the staff were safe and happy. He was a good boss just like his brother Jungkook. The only thing was Gguk was a lot stricter and more professional than Jungkook. Even though Jungkook was strict and professional, he was funny, an extrovert and was enjoyable with everyone.

Gguk was a reticent type due to obvious reasons. Though many people would see being deaf and mute as a disability, Gguk outgrew it and became even stronger, talented and capable. He hated when people sympathized with him. Hence, he worked hard to build an identity for himself. Now wherever he went, he got respect not sympathy. People admired him for the hard work and for the reputation and success he has got for himself. Though he loved his brother, it would sometimes hurt him that he couldn't talk or share his feelings like his brother. But he soon would snap out of it. He loved his brother and his brother loved him. Today, he and his brother built an empire for themselves taking their success to a whole new level and he couldn't be prouder of it. All he now wanted is his Hoseok to be besides him forever.
