Strings of life (taekook)

chapter-16

Jungkook and Taehyung looked towards the direction the voice came from

"Hi Neyun" Jungkook greeted him with a grin showing all his bunny teeth.

"I missed you a lot" Neyun said exaggerating the word 'miss'.

Jungkook giggled and said, "Don't be so dramatic, it hasn't even been a day. Do you already miss me?"

"I haven't seen you for many hours, so I miss you. Luckily I saw you here," he said in a dramatic way. Hearing that, jungkook also started laughing.Then they kept talking

A baby tiger watched their interaction with a sad pout. Taehyung looked at jungkook and thought, did his bunny forget his presence He felt a weight in his chest.

He looked at his Jungkook who was laughing at the words of the person called Neyun. He likes to see that smile but now when he thinks that it's because of someone else.... He shakes his head and changes all his thoughts.

"Who is this kookiee" Neyun asked looking at Jungkook. Taehyung looked at the person and then at his husband

"This is my husband Taehyung." He answered and then looked at Tae and said "hubby this is Neyun who works with me".

"Hello Taehyung" Neyun greeted. Taehyung gave him a small smile.

"I am also his friend now. Did kookiee tell you anything about me" Neyun asked. Tae was looking at him with a blank face

Neyun looked at jungkook "hubby can't talk" jungkook said

Hearing this, Neyun looked at Tae sympathetically. Tae didn't like that look on him. All these looks remind him of his disability. As if he were different from others,  as if he could not be like ordinary person.

This pitying gaze humiliates him and makes him feel smaller from others.

"Since we met each other, why don't we have dinner together" Neyun asked Jungkook.

Jungkook looked at Tae and asked, "Is hubby okay with the 3 of us going out to eat together?" Tae smiled and nodded.

Then the 3 of them started walking to the nearby restaurant

They reached a restaurant. Neyun called the waiter and Jungkook ordered for himself and his husband.

Soon the waiter came with the food. All three started eating in silence.

"Is yours a love marriage" asked neyun to which jungkook replied "no it's an arrange marriage"

Then they continued talking. Jungkook laughs at Neyun's  every jokes but he also pays attention to his husband.

Tae tries to eat without paying attention to them. But it is difficult for him because his husband's melodious giggles attracts him.  he tries not to eavesdrop on their conversations is because, it brings a kind of pain inside him.

"What's Taehyung's job?" Neyun asked looking at Jungkook . Taehyung lowered his head after hearing that question.

"Hubby doesn't work because I'm not interested in it" Jungkook replied and went to washroom

Neyun looked at Tae, "Jungkook is a very good person. I've seen him working very hard at his restaurant. He even does overtime. I thought he was doing all this to achieve his goal, but I didn't know  he was this much struggling for feed his Mute husband You're lucky." After Neyun said, Tae lowered his head and listened to it all with teary eyes

When Taehyung saw Jungkook coming, he immediately got up and quickly went to the washroom because he didn't like Jungkook seeing his teary eyes.

He reached the washroom and looked at the mirror there. He is lucky only because of Jungkook but his bunny is suffering because of him, he now understand why they all call him useless because he is of no use to anyone.

He hates his  birth and the fate that made him useless. Tae's eyes filled with tears again. He won't cry. He can't be perfect but he can be strong. Whether the bunny agrees or not, he will find a  job and keep his bunny happy. He washed his face and came out.

"Hubby can we go" Jungkook asked and Taehyung nodded in response. The three walked out of the restaurant.

"Bye kookiee" Neyun said and tae felt angry and sad when he heard that he also wants to call his bunny sweet names but he can't. He is trying hard not to cry because he doesn't want to look pathetic in front of his bunny

Neyun suddenly hugged Jungkook. Immediately separated from it, neyun waved his hand and left.

Jungkook didn't like that, because he is someone who likes to keep a physical distance no matter how close his friends are. He decided to talk to neyun about it tomorrow. 

Jungkook looked at his husband, the glint he always saw in his husband's eyes no longer there.

Jungkook realizes that maybe Neyun is the reason for his husband's sadness. Sunday's are just for the two of them and neither of them likes anyone else coming in between

Jungkook didn't like Neyun's arrival either. He don't want to be rude, that's why he treated Neyun like always, but if it bothers his husband, he should tell Neyun about that too tomorrow.

Jungkook hugged Taehyung. This helped taehyung to relax " sorry hubby " jungkook said

Taehyung frowned. Then he asked why he said sorry after separating the younger from him

" Didn't our date get ruined because of me? " Jungkook said

" No, I enjoyed it," Taehyung answered with a smile

" Isn't hubby jealous because of Neyun? " Tae shook his head in response. Kookie pouted

" Hubby, why aren't you jealous? " Jungkook asked

" I know how much you love me, so why am I going to be jealous? " Tae replied

" Then why was hubby  sad " Jungkook looked at the elder with doe eyes

" You must have imagined that I'm not sad," replied Tae, ignoring the younger's eyes

•••••••••••

Tae and kook arrive at their apartment. Tae sat on the couch. Then Taehyung pulled Jungkook's hand and made him sat on his lap

Seeing this sudden action of the elder, the younger's eyes widened in shock and his cheeks started to turn red. Jungkook looked shyly at his husband.

Communication is important in relationship. If you are in pain, share it with your partner and don't keep it inside
