Heart That I Desire || Taekook, Vkook

Chapter 13 : Silence

Third Person's P.O.V :-

When Taehyung woke up again, it was 5 in the morning, he had only managed to sleep for 3 hours.

He blinked a few times, his lips felt like it had been glued together and his head was buzzing from the spiked Sake he had last night.

He was grateful that he actually managed to wake up at 5, last night he was very tense thinking that he'd sleep through the alarm and will be jerked awake directly by the clan mistress after being caught red handed in Jungkook's bedroom. That thought still sent a shiver down Taehyung's spine.

He groggily looked around and saw Jungkook snuggling close to him, seemingly in a deep slumber, one arm thrown across his waist.

Taehyung carefully picked that hand up and removed it from his waist, trying to be as gentle as he could. The last thing he wanted to deal with was an irritated Jungkook at 5 am.

Gingerly getting up from the bed, he quietly made his way downstairs, preparing to sprint to Jimin's room, he only prayed nobody was awake at that hour.

Taehyung now stood in front of Jimin's bedroom, the very room he had fled out of last night.

His heart felt heavy as he touched the knob. He had no idea what he would do if they door was locked from the inside and he lacked the courage to actually call Jimin after what he did the previous night.

Maybe he'd just show up at his old residence, saying he wanted to get up early and help out.

That would make Clan mistress angry, Taehyung knew it. She sent over that spiked drink for a reason, she must be expecting both Jimin and Taehyung to wake up late.

Taehyung sighed, he always wondered how easy his life would have been, had she been a little less particular about things.

Blaming his fate he twisted the knob only to find the door unlocked.

Taehyung blinked in surprise. Jimin kept the door unlocked all night? Just so Taehyung could sneak back in if he wanted to? Taehyung felt the weight of the guilt riding on his shoulders get heavier.

Softly opening the door, he stepped inside, everything was the same just as he had left it the night before. He looked around for Jimin and saw a figure snoozing peacefully on the bed.

Relief flooded inside Taehyung's eyes, he was glad Jimin didn't lose any sleep because of their little disagreement the previous night.

He slowly walked towards the bed. Jimin was cradled within the blankets, sleeping without a care in the world. Taehyung smiled, watching Jimin sleep like that reminded him of the first few nights after their wedding, he'd wake up early every morning to watch Jimin sleep for a few minutes before going off to prepare breakfast.

The space where he laid last night was left vacant. Jimin must have considered the possibility of him coming back in the middle of the night and saved him some room on the bed.

Taehyung frowned as he pressed both of his lips together, how could he have been so blind to Jimin's kind nature and walked out on him last night? Could he just lie down next to Jimin again and pretend he never left in the first place?

Taehyung shook his, all of those thoughts were just wishful thinking.

He carefully sat down on the bed as the mattress dipped under his weight and turned a little to face Jimin's sleeping form.

"I'm sorry..." He whispered not knowing what else to say,"I shouldn't have walked out on you like that last night...I also shouldn't have brought Jungkook into this as well" He mumbled as he slowly reached out his hand and gently caressed Jimin's cheek,"You don't deserve to be treated that way" He said maintaining the gentle tone.

"Then stay here with me tonight" Jimin mumbled, eyes opening and staring up at Taehyung.

Taehyung's eyes widened but before he could retrieve his hand, Jimin's hand came and took a hold of his forearm,"Don't run away" Jimin said as he got up from his lying position.

"Ji-Jimin" Taehyung shuttered as Jimin sat up before him, his arm still being held hostage by Jimin,"I thought you were asleep...." He meekly voiced out, not knowing what else to say.

Jimin sighed,"Barely, I tried to fall asleep multiple times but it didn't work out" He said looking down at the blankets.

Taehyung gasped at Jimin's words,"You didn't sleep at all?!" He asked out in astonishment.

"I kept on worrying about you, what if Granny had informed your family as well and they didn't let you in? I kept the door open just in case you might want to sneak back in again" Jimin admitted as he glanced back up at Taehyung again,"And..." Jimin started and stopped for a bit to take a deep breath.

"About what you said last night...about Jungkook and me..." He slowly started while staring at Taehyung. Here it was, the topic he was dreading.

"I want you to be assured that there's nothing going on between him and me" Jimin said,"I'm telling the truth, Taehyung" He said in a determined voiced.

"I know I asked a lot from you when I told you about my feelings for Jungkook but now, I've realised that there's no future to me and Jungkook, I'm a married man and I can't just leave you hanging" Jimin whispered making Taehyung stunned.

Was Jimin really saying what Taehyung thought he was saying?

"I do, however, want him to get better mentally so I request you to let him stay with us for a bit longer but, Taehyung, I" Jimin spelled out and scooted a bit closer to where Taehyung sat, still stunned to his core.

"I want us to function like a healthy married couple, can we please start over?" He asked earnestly, hopefully looking at Taehyung

The silence from the other party was deafening.
