Chapter 76

A/N: 

Wow lovelies. Wow. I had forgotten how much I actually enjoyed this. I've kept you waiting for exactly 2 years. I do apologize. But here it is... I've had a crap couple of years. If I'm being honest, I'm still on survival mode. I have just got a better hang of it is all. 

But we're not here for the boohoo-s are we? 

I won't keep you waiting for much longer. And I'll  no longer disappear. I will try to get a chapter out if not every week than at least every other week. 

If you are still interested in this story, I present to you the long awaited chapter 76, the beginning of the rest. I really do hope you enjoy.

Cuddles he likes. Oh yes. Cuddles he likes very much. Taetae felt like the world was beautiful again. In the arms of Jungkook, it didn't take any kind of effort to look at life through rose-colored glasses. It was as easy as being. Although, even being hadn't been easy for Taetae. Yes, being in Jungkook's arms was by far the easiest thing he could do.

"I know you think letting go is difficult for you, baby, but believe me, I'm finding it impossible right now; I have half a mind to not let you go at all, Taetae." – Jungkook said after inhaling Taetae's scent. The boy was too sweet, too soft to let go. It still baffled Jungkook how much of a change this boy went through every time he shifts and another alter fronts.

"Then don't." – Said Taetae, his voice small, almost broken. If being in Jungkook's arms is the easiest thing he can do then leaving them is the most difficult. "I want to stay like this forever Kookie. And I know that's not fair for you and V and even Taehyung, but sometimes I just don't want to care. Sometimes I think I deserve to not care too."

"Oh, my baby. You do. You deserve to be selfish sometime. Heck you deserve to be selfish all the time. I wish I could make it so that all three of you could separate and lead your own lives, but I can't. And that's why I need you to help us with this. So that you, V and Taehyung could all have your fair share of time in the world".

"I don't care about the world very much. I just want my fair share of time with you." – Taetae said and buried hi cute little nose is Jungkook's neck. This broken voice that was coming from Taetae was breaking Jungkook, so much so that he made a decision.

"I promise you, Taetae. It might take some time until everyone is on the same page, but until we get I promise we will have time together as much as we can, and afterwards we will always be with each other. I don't want to let go of any of you. I will keep you all. So help me god, I will leave no stone unturned until I find the fastest way to make that possible for us. Meanwhile, just have patience for me baby".

"If there is one person I trust to keep a promise it's you Kookie." – Taetae took a deep breath and as he released it he seemed to reach a state of calmness as though he was finally at peace with what he was saying.

Taetae sat up in the bed with an unnaturally solemn face, unnatural to the boy at least and Jungkook followed suit. How could he not after noticing the somber expression on that little face?

"I'm ready Kookie. This is the most ready I'm ever going to be." – Those words seemed to be about more than leaving Jungkook, the latter thought. Those words seemed to be about Taehyung as well.

"Are you scared about talking to Taehyung? This is the first time after all." – Jungkook said and his eyes concentrated on every single response that would come from Taetae, be it verbal or physical. Taetae was an open book when it came to body language after all.

"I am. I think I'm going to scare him and his going to hate it. What if he hates me? I don't want him to hate me Kookie. I don't know what I would do. All this time I-".

"Hey hey, baby, sh~. Calm down, love. Nothing of the sort is going to happen." – Jungkook could not handle the frightened expression on Taetae's face. The boy was truly worried and seemed to be bottling it up to be helpful and not worry Jungkook and the latter wasn't having it. And when Taetae dropped his gaze to the bed sheets with his head hanging low like he was convinced he was disappointing the one person he did not want to disappoint, Jungkook was really not having it. With his index finger on Taetae's chin, Jungkook raised the boy's face until their eyes met.

"There is no world out there in which anyone could hate you. That is just not possible. You are too adorable to even overlook, let alone hate. Taetae, baby, at least to me and I'm sure to V as well, you are everything that's good and pure and Taehyung will see that instantaneously. I promise you. You have absolutely nothing to worry about."

The little smile that etched onto that precious darling face took the breath right out of Jungkook.

"Give me a hug baby. Come here."

Jungkook opened his arms as though they were wings and as Taetae inched forward at the invitation and wrapped himself around the man, he felt safe and he felt complete. This was the only place he's ever felt like he belonged and he was sure it was the only place he'd ever truly like to be. After everything he's been through it was nice to finally find shelter. And that is all that he needed to get the same motivation as Jungkook and V to launch himself towards what was next.

It was time.

"Get up Kookie." – Taetae said after jumping out the bed in which he spent the night with Jungkook.

"What are we doing? Where are we going baby?"

"We need to make the bed and get out of the bedroom, silly. We don't want to freak Taehyung out, do we? I don't think either of you will appreciate him finding himself in bed with you." – Taetae giggled – "Also I don't want to stall anymore. I'd rather my always with you comes sooner than later."

Jungkook smiled.

"Where's my Taetae and what have you done with him?" – Jungkook laughed after a theatrical display of his feelings about the little boy's maturity.

"When did you get so wise on me hm?"

"Just because I'm young doesn't mean I'm stupid Kookie." – Taetae said and stuck his tongue out at Jungkook.

It was a matter of minutes really, mere minutes, until they were all dressed and ready to receive Taehyung.

"Kookie?"

"Yes baby?"

"V says he'll miss you every second he's gone... and so will I."

"I'll miss you both as well, with everything in my heart. You two are the gift I didn't ask for but appreciate getting."

"Let's do this."

And Taetae face froze and he zoned out.
