A Princess Doesn't Cry ||Taekook||

Chapter 17

Jungkook is sitting by the window of his room , all drowned in his thoughts , looking at the dark night sky . Though the darkness never feels friendly to him , he never liked the thought of a pitch dark sky without a moon shining and stars dimly lit up but at times life makes you experience things you never knew you ever were able to go through . Jungkook is the same .

He never knew he will one day be sitting here grieving over the fact that he is left alone without his parents , his hyung or his people . No one whom he used to call as his is his anymore , he is just a mere boy living on someone else's mercy though king has told him otherwise . He knows his mind is playing games with him but tonight he wants to let it play .

The days when he used to be happy in his kingdom , joyfully skipping his way through the corridors , giggling with butterflies , running around the roads of the kingdom so freely , getting showered in love every now and then by everyone around him , he was happy , content and was living his life to it's best without any care in the world , oh how beautiful the days were .

A soft smile makes its way to his lips as he thinks of those days but his eyes are filled with tears to it's brim . He misses his appa , his eomma , his hyung and everyone . A tear slips down his cheek as he blinks making him sigh . He can never forget that awful scene of his kingdom's soil drenched in red . And he will surely not let the one who caused it forget too . He needs to find out the culprit as soon as possible .

🤍🤍🤍

On the other hand , taehyung is lying on his bed , thinking about his day , how it went from him witnessing jungkook in the morning looking like an angel to them spending time together till dinner , everything felt beautiful to him , that boy knows how to make his day .

Taehyung finds himself smiling like a whipped man when his mind makes him go back to the afternoon events . The way that pretty princess was concentrating on his practice , the way he was glancing at taehyung every now and then . He has no idea if jungkook realised this or not but when he saw jungkook looking at him before every shot he made , that made him feel a lot more special than he already is . He doesn't know if jungkook did that intentionally or unintentionally but to him the gesture was special , it gave the sense of security , assurance and believe to him that jungkook do believe in him . The trust he has on taehyung was reflecting in his eyes every time their eyes met and taehyung has no idea how he is supposed to describe that feeling .

Maybe it was the satisfaction he felt by knowing that jungkook trust him but if that was satisfaction then how is he gonna justify those butterflies he felt in his tummy by just the mere eye contact . It can't just be trust making him feel all euphoric right ? There must be something else , something basic that owns the origin of all the things his heart and mind is going through , what can it be ?

Love ? Taehyung questions himself unconsciously . His frown turns into a straight line as his confused expressions soon change into shock .

What did he just say ? Love ? No it can't be , how can it be right ?

He is mumbling to himself fighting with his own mind . He sits up on the bed and sighs . What is he even thinking .

Ok taehyung let's do a reality check yeah ? He talks to himself and nods afterwords .

Kim Taehyung , what you just said ?

I said that i love jungkook ,

Hmmm , describe love in words , what is love to you ?

Mmmm , love is something like a blooming flower , more specifically like a blooming rose . A rose that blossom beautifully despite being surrounded in thorns . The thorns that can prick a person and draw blood but that person can't resist himself from plucking the rose just because it's beautiful and he knows it's worth . Love is the most tingly , beautiful feeling that makes you smile unconsciously , makes you happy despite the sorrows you are surrounded in , makes you live your life with a meaning , a motive and a worth . Love makes you the better version of yourself ,

Ok , now close your eyes and try to correlate the feeling of love with someone you know , anyone that comes to your mind first with the thought of making you feel happy and loved ,

Taehyung closes his eyes softly and relaxes himself . He lets his mind and heart do the work as he sits there . The darkness fades away and the bright sunny light fills his orbs as he sees a small door getting opened by someone . The person walks out , closer and closer and closer until the face becomes clear . There stands jungkook wearing a white shirt under an ocean blue coat paired with white pants , having a red rose in his hand , a rose without thorns . He can see himself too as jungkook smiles and hands him the rose . Taehyung mumbles ,

I love you jungkook ,

He opens his eyes with a smile . Realisation makes him feel the utmost emotional as he can't control himself from feeling the happiest . Finally , finally he felt the slow steady love he always wanted to experience all thanks to his jungkookie . He is so into his happiness but one another realisation hits him hard taking away his smile as he mumbles ,

What about Jiwoo then ? He finds himself lost . The girl is his fiance for god's sake . He can't love someone when he has a fiance for himself . That's unfair . Where he was trying to love Jiwoo and fit her in that frame and where jungkook out of nowhere came in his life completely changing the frame and attracting him towards himself .

Taehyung is doomed and definitely he is so in love too .
