Destined To Be

Do They Call it Love?

It is already evening, and Tae is on the bed, snuggling with three pups and Jungkook guarding them. The whole country was shook with the news that one of the country’s top businessmen was associated with illegal things like child trafficking, abducting and murder. Though Jungkook was totally fascinated by the serene scene in front of him, this was far from what he was feeling in his heart. He never considered dragging the police and law in this mess but he had to take legal action against Mr. Jeon. His mansion was attacked by a bunch of goons in broad daylight who tried to kill Tae. Jungkook was thankful that he managed to hire an experienced security team fearing his father might go to an extreme and they eliminate the goons in minutes. Then police was involved and after investigation, they revealed the team was a local gang who got a contract from Mr. Jeon. They dug deeper and came up with all the unlawful works Mr. Jeon had. His clubs were shut and more than 300 young boys and girls were rescued from the hell. Most of them were hurt and malnourished and when Jungkook met these people during the investigation he felt satisfied about his decision. He could give these young people a chance to live by choosing to send his father to prison. He never considered himself as a courageous person as he was one of those people who grow up being shadowed by their father and most decisions of their lives are taken by their family. But today he felt freed. 

Suddenly he saw Tae whimpering in his sleep; this is what he had been witnessing for a few days. The scars on Tae’s body were almost healed but the ones he had on his mind will take some time. Jungkook sat on the floor by the bed caressing the fluffy hair of the boy who was curled up like the puppies. Bam looked bigger than him at this point and this brought a smile on Jungkook’s face. The doberman puppy is generally very protective  of his dad but now he is staying beside Tae like his shadow, not leaving his side for once. Jungkook takes a better look at the sleeping male; his bread cheeks, long eyelashes and heart-shaped lips are perfect. “His face looks so innocent and when he smiles, he looks so adorable.” Jungkook thought but was soon alerted by his own thoughts. He is not supposed to think that way. He cannot like Taehyung, he is supposed to stay loyal to Jiu. He scolded himself immediately for this momentary slip. 

He was sure Tae was asleep and took this moment to share the turmoil in his mind, “I am sorry Tae. I will never be able to give you what you deserve. My love is cursed and I cannot fall in love with you. I will stay loyal to Jiu but I promise I will never hurt you in any way.” He sealed his promise with a forehead kiss and decided to join Tae because the bed looked so tempting after the sleepless nights.

Tae felt a hand was playing with his hair and before he could jolt up, he heard Jungkook’s confession. He decided not to let Jungkook know he was awake and go with the flow. Soon after Jungkook joined as the big spoon, he heard soft snoring which indicated that Kook was asleep. He turned his head towards Jungkook - he is handsome, Tae thought in his mind. The mole under his lip, bunny teeth- everything is so charming about him. But what he loves most about Jungkook is his heart. Though he could never have his precious heart, he would protect this man with his everything, at all cost… because now, Tae's heart is with him. He never fell in love before and he wasn’t sure if he was in love. The fuzzy, warm feeling inside him that makes him feel nervous around Jungkook, increases his heartbeat everytime he sees him, makes him miss Jungkook when he is not around - is it love? Or gratitude that Jungkook saved his life when it was almost falling apart. 

 Then he remembered how his heart felt at the forehead kiss a few minutes ago; confusion  and uncertainty flooded his mind - he questioned himself “do they call it love?"
