Waiting For You || Taekook

chapter 1

It had been raining for hours now.

I was walking on the way to my home while being all soaked in water. Because it was supposed to be a bright, shiny day. At least the weather report said that.

Though it was all shiny when I was working in the café. But when I was about to step out after closing the café, the rain started. I stole my boss Seokjin's umbrella. Thank god he didn't come to the café today.

After taking the umbrella, I thought it would be easy to go home. At least I don't have to be soaked in water. But today, my luck wasn't with me.

After walking for ten minutes without getting any vehicles, suddenly a gust of wind made my hands slipped from the umbrella and crashed into a lamppost. Like this, my umbrella broke, and now I'm here, getting wet in the rain.

I don't know what my boss will say because I broke his favorite umbrella. But right now all I can think is to go home. And jump in my bed to sleep because I'm too tired to do anything.

The sun is set already, and I'm shivering in cold. Finally, I can see the big gate of my home. My father is one of the most famous businessmen in Korea. No wonder why our house is so big.

My father is rich, that doesn't mean I will be living a whole luxurious life. I'm not denying fulfilly. Except living in our house, everything I got in my life was like a normal human in my age would get. That's why my father didn't give me any car. I have a motorcycle which I bought with my own hard working money but today it was in the repairing store.

Now I'm 20. I finished studying two months ago and looking for a nice paid job. I get a gentle amount of salary from the café but to lead a better life I'm thinking about another job. I got this café job when I was 19. And still now it helped me a lot.

I always loved the fact that how my dad taught me to live on my own. And I tried to complete it. Though it was tiring to study and work in at first. But when I got my first salary and bought something for my parents, the way they smiled proudly. That moment I forgot all my tiredness.

While thinking, I stepped into the garden which was all muddy. And before I can walk carefully, I slipped in the garden. And my whole soaked dress got mud. I felt like crying. I sat in the mud for some minutes, then carefully stood up.

I walked to the house door and stepped without looking inside.

- "Mom, I'm home" I said.

Suddenly, my look fell on someone who was sitting in the living room, a cup of tea in his hand. He looked at me too hearing my voice. I became frozen as I recognized him.

The dark brown eyes, the perfectly straight nose, the cherry colored shaped lips, the chiseled jawline, the pleased ears, the expression eyes, the intense gaze, everything screams only one person. The one for whom my eyes have eagerly waited all these years to see.

Kim Taehyung.

For whom I used to spend all my nights thinking. Dreaming. Blushing. Crying. Breaking. Maybe I still do?

It felt like a dream. A beautiful one. I forgot all my dignity and shame and stared at him without blinking and thinking. He was also looking at me with a soft gaze. Our staring competition broke when my mom shouted at me.

- "Jeon Jungkook!!"

I immediately looked at my mom.

- "Yes mom?"

- "Why are you here in like this? What happened to your clothes? Why are you all soggy and muddy??"

I looked at myself. My ears became red in embarrassment. I was standing in front of Taehyung like this. Seriously!! What did he think of me??

I immediately ran to my room to my room without replying. And closed my door. 'Shit! I became a clown in front of him' I felt frustrated. I went to take a hot shower to clear myself also my head. After taking shower, I changed into something warm. My ear and nose were red because of coldness.

I thought Taehyung would have gone by now. So, I went to downstairs to eat something as I was so hungry. When I went downstair, I found my mom talking to Taehyung. He didn't go home.

I cleared my throat to gain attention, which I successfully did. They both looked at me.

- "Were you sleeping in the shower?" my mom said.

- "Aishh mom. I wasn't" I said. I can see a smiling face beside my mom.

- "Whatever. You made Taehyung wait for too long."

He was waiting for me?

- "He has been sitting here for the last two hours. And you didn't even greet him yet. Where are your manners, Jeon Jungkook?"

'Two hours feel long for him. But I was waiting for three freaking years for him. What about me?' I thought.

I took a deep breath and vowed in Taehyung's direction.

- "Hello hyung. I hope you are well. Sorry for making you wait this long. I'm extremely sorry" I said, looking at the floor.

- "It's okay. I'm fine. How are you, jungkookie?"

A chill ran through my body after hearing his ocean deep voice. Gosh, how my much I missed this voice. I bit my lips and started fiddling my fingers.

- "I am f..achoo" I sneezed before I can finish my word.

- "Aishhh. What will I do with this boy." My mom said while standing from the sofa.

- "You sat here with Taehyung and talk with him. I will make something warm for you" she again said.

I just nodded my head and sat on a sofa in front of Taehyung. I kept playing with the hem of my sweater without saying something. I can feel a deep gaze on me.

- "How is everything going, koo?" Taehyung said.

- "Gr..eat, w-what about y-you?" I hated how I stutter.

He sighed and said,

- "Not that good. Alone life in aboard is nothing but painful. You have to eat alone, sleep alone and have to do everything alone. Even if you are sick, nobody is there to take care of you."

My heart clenched after hearing him. It must be very hard for him.

- "What about your f-friends?" I was goin to ask about his girlfriend.

- "I had friends there. But not as close as my friends from Korea. You know, everyone there was busy making their future."

I hummed.

- "For how many d-days you are here in Korea?" I asked.

- "I'm not going back to America again. Dad asked me to join in his company here. I was also thinking to get settled here."

I felt dancing as I heard him. But I remembered something from the past. Immediately, my happy face turned into a gloomy one. Taehyung noticed it.

- "Something happened wrong?" He asked.

- "No. My head is hurting a little. I will take a rest in my room. It was a pleasure to meet you hyung. Excuse me." I said as I stood up from the sofa and bowed to him again. Then I went back to my room. I felt proud as I didn't stutter this time.

I went to my room and closed the door. I went to bed and pulled the sheets and lay down.

I reminisced about those old days. Those ravishing painful days which made a great impact on my life.
