Let me Love you | TK

Chapter:12

They have eyes only for each other.

____________

Jungkook's POV:

I was in my freshman year and
he was in second year when I first set eyes on him.

The most beautiful boy I have ever seen.

The absolute bane of my existence.

He was fresh and untested and open with that damn smile that seems permanently etched across his face. Every boy and girl was under his spell. Followed him everywhere he went. Desparately wanted to be his friend. Even fought for the coveted spot of his best friend in which eventually only Jimin succeeded.

They copied his effortless style and he set the school abuzz everytime he wore his hair differently.

Everyone was drawn to him.
I was just one of them.

Completely captivated by a seemingly innocent blue-eyed boy who I had never talked to in the entirety of our time there.

I thought it was a phase. That it would pass.

And it did..
Or so I thought..

Slowly.
I was starting to forget how he looked like.
His face.
His eyes.
His voice.
Everything felt like it was blurring altogether in my mind.
As the years passed by,
I even stopped having dreams of him.
But,
It scared me.
'Cause deep down, I didn't want to forget it.

And just when I thought
My memory is at verge of losing him,
He entered my life again...

Is
  This
     Destiny?

I don't think now I would even be able to forget you Tae. Because it seems quite impossible to be in a world where there are no imprints of You..

"I think that's enough" he shyly pointed with his eyes, at the pile of books in his hands.

"Are you sure Taehyung? We can buy more if you want" I wanted to drag his stay in the bookstore as long as I could. It's the most happy I have seen him in past days. There was permanent smile on his lips as he joyfully walked around the whole store. From one shelf to another. I was afraid I would lose that smile again once we step out...

"We are already late. I think we should hurry!" He says, his eyes momentarily scanning the store last time.

I could guess it was a long time since he had been here.

It was a cue for me to take him here often now.
Great thing, it was on our way to the company. Which means we could come here anytime.

"Come on Taehyung, aren't you the CEO. Let's stay a bit longer" I tried to test my luck though I was sure he would deny.

"You mean we are the CEOs?"

"Taehyung, I---" I start to say, more like to apologize but he cuts me off.

"I am not blaming you,Jungkook" he tells me softly.
I look up, searching his eyes to see if they support his statement.

They do.

But I also found in them something...something unexpected.

Something, I thought I may never find in those ocean blue eyes.

and there it was,
Acceptance.

He was starting to accept my presence..
Maybe not as his husband but at least as his well-wisher.. his campanion...

It's a relief that he doesn't see me as his 'supposed to be enemy' anymore.

"Oh let me put them in the car." I take the books from his hand and rush to the car, place them in the backseat.
