Destined

Back to Seoul

Jungkook's PoV

We're currently driving back to Seoul and it's safe to say that Taehyung is still in a trance over what happened at his house.

Well, it was very emotional for him for sure. To know that his family is so supportive and understanding, and to feel guilty that he did not think of sharing his struggles with them before. But I don't blame him. He is like that. He manages to seem the happiest when he's breaking inside. He doesn't like 'burdening' (his words, not mine) people with his feelings. Some day, I will make him realise it is really not like that. Till then, I will be patient.

He is also still fuming about the bet. I mean. I thought it was cute. Though my love for his mom and sister have grown a thousand fold, I must admit. Not so much for the dad and the brother. Who did clarify that they're happy he chose me, but they just thought that Tae claiming Jimin-shi to be his soulmate meant that he was proclaiming his love for him. As if.

To be clear, Kim Taehyung has two soulmates. Jimin-shi is his platonic soulmate and I am his romantic soulmate, his one and only love forever, and ever and ever. Yes we have had this discussion and settled it once and for all.

Just thinking about Tae with anyone else, whoever it be, makes my blood boil. And yes, it is strange. Till I didn't know about his feelings, I was ready to accept it if he ended up with someone else. Not really accept, maybe. But I would have to learn to live with it. Like forcefully. Not a happy thought. HOWEVER, now that I know what it is to be with this angel, I cannot imagine anyone else with him. I do not want to. He is mine. And I am going to do everything in my power to make him want to stay. Never wanna give him a chance to say that he doesn't want to stay with me.

Ughh. Need to change my line of thought. Right now.

So Tae's mood. It's fluctuating between emotional and furious. And trust me it's too cute to see him frown and then suddenly smile, and then become teary-eyed, and then frown again. I have to keep reminding myself to keep my eyes on the road.

Not my fault he's so pretty.

"Babe, are you okay?"

"I don't believe them Kookie. They bet on my love life. My parents. Will anyone ever believe me if I tell them? Is this what parents do? Such childish behaviour. Hmph!"

"Better than not accepting us, don't you think?"

"Ouch. Why are you always so direct?"

"It's my job to bring you back to earth when you wandering in that mindspace of yours, bear"

"And why so?"

"Because I'm here on earth. And I haven't kissed my pretty boyfriend for too long"

"Stop the car"

"What?"

"I said stop the car"

I parked on the side. What did I do wrong?

Nothing. Apparently. Because Taetae has pulled me by the collar and is kissing me. He's kissing me like there's no tomorrow. Life is so good.

"That was hot, hyung"

"You wanna continue driving now?"

"Nope. Wanna continue kissing the love of my life"

"The road's not gonna be empty for long Kook, people kinda know us"

Ugh.

I'm driving again.

"Kookie?"

"Yes, bear?"

"When did you do up the house?"

"A little after the disbandment discussions. Umm... I thought about it right after Yoongi hyung sent us those texts, asking us to follow our hearts, and saying that he would be right there for us, you know? Though I didn't understand why he sent you the same text, somehow it made me feel that I should confess to you. And then we spoke about disbanding, and I was so scared of losing you. So scared. We didn't disband, thank heavens, but I had planned to bring you to Busan and confess. Would've done it this year itself."

"I'm a lucky guy"

"Not more than me"

"Let's not turn everything into a competition Kook, we both are lucky. We met, we have such beautiful families, such amazing bandmates, we didn't disband, we now have a lovely getaway house, and a cute dog, and people are starting to love us more, and most importantly, we fell in love...I'm grateful"

"I take it that you're not upset about the bet anymore"

"Don't spoil the mood Jeon"

Okay then.

We decided to sing random songs we love the rest of the way back. And yes, we made a few more short stops to catch a few more kisses. Bliss!
