RESILIENT [KOOKV]

twenty-six

Welcome 💜

Taehyung was able to finally digested the lump formed in his throat, the perspective he tried hard to ignore becomes a clear view for him. He finds the final decision lingering against his lips dangerous and he had come into conclusion.

Jungkook is a butterfly. Like a butterfly to taehyung.

He seem pretty beautiful and attractive, a little bit too attractive but taehyung felt like he'd run away if he get a little bit too close to him.

He watch the male drive with his one hand while the free one tap consciously on tae's laps, does he regret whatever had happened back in jungkook's house?.

Not really. He does have regret of not meeting jungkook earlier in his life journey..... something he couldn't control but can aleast wobble his mind on.

Jungkook is what everyone seeking love has pictured in their mind and head , the one who seem like prince charming that only comes in a lifetime and there he's besides taehyung.

Taehyung have a strong believe there's small admiration about him from jungkook, in all clear view. Jungkook doesn't hate him.

You can't find pleasure in people you hated. Name it whatever you want to name it , it's either admiration mixed with lust or little likeness but it's never mixed with hatred.

So the Queen was conflicted. Should he move on jungkook and risked the possibility of the boy flying far away from him or should he just admire him like a star in his sky.

But this man. This man. This certain perfect man seem like a striking light to taehyung, too much brighten that taehyung felt like he's going to explode in seconds.

Taehyung shakes his head , he shouldn't be thinking beyond the limits. He might as well settle for that famous line 'just go with the flow'.

A self acceptance he went through in jungkook's embrace earlier, he needs to keep this man near. Maybe near his bed or just close to him....it doesn't matter to taehyung anymore at this point , he just want this boy near him. As whatever the man plan to stay.

When jungkook car comes to an halt, taehyung sighs mentally preparing himself to face Lee in ho for spending the night outside the palace. Last night was really a thing , not even a flicker of his marriage has cross his mind. He'd only think about what was happening to him , his body and soul at that moment.

Jungkook managed to void his mind off his reality misery, a perfect distraction if you ask taehyung but there's just much about the CEO that's more than a mere distraction.

Taehyung realized he had a card held between his fingers, should he keep it or gamble with it?. Jungkook won't mind nah? But what'd people say about this? About him? And most importantly about jungkook.

Talking about jungkook, he snap back to the reality and see jungkook was staring at him keenly. He guess the man must have watched him wondering lost in his head, he sighs out loudly again.

"You'll make me sad again if you give me this face" taehyung raised his brow at jungkook's accusing tone as he undid his seatbelt.

"What face?" He enquire , eyes wondering to the palace gate and almost roll his eyes when he notices the guards have their eyes fixed on jungkook's car.

"The face of regret, wow I'm hurt along with my pride. I can't believe you find spending your time with this perfect , handsome, cute, sexy and beautiful billionaire boring----

Taehyung cackle amidth jungkook's dramatic display , he can't believe he's getting to see jungkook out of his serious CEO image.

"I swear Jin hyung wasn't lying when he called you the most egotistic man to ever exist, cute? I thought your masculine ass won't want to be call cute" jungkook shrugs, almost sassily flipping his imaginary hair.

"Can't help when there's a handful of cuteness in my making---

Taehyung push the door open jumping down from jungkook's car the next second, follow right after is jungkook barking put laughter to tease him.

"You're mean" jungkook only smile at his accusing tone.

"I'll take that as compliment. Anyways, don't forget what I told you earlier tae. Everything is about you this time and don't let your little happiness get drown away with self guilt, I don't see you less and if anything I respect you more....I really mean it , if things get heated just ring me up okay?" Taehyung bites his lips as he look away from jungkook's stares before nodding his head , the CEO Graces him with a wide smile before bidding byee and drive away the next minutes leaving taehyung to ponder over his thoughts for some seconds.

Is jungkook giving him hints that he's always down for taehyung or this is just him performing his daily job of overthinking? Whatever it's , he'd think about it later and worry about how to deal with his emotions now that he's back to his grave yard.

The emotions jungkook was helping to embalm since last night are slowly surfacing with each steps he takes into the king's compound, his mind barely register the servants greetings. All he knows is the fact that his breath getting harbor, an invisible pressed against his throat that cut short his breaths. His eyes stink with tears and he felt suffocated instantly....from what exactly? He can't tell.

Maybe from the rapid running thoughts in his head. What's going to be the king's reaction if he finds out what he had done last night?, Does this make a dirty human like in ho?. And is he a manwhore for having the thought to recreate last night again with jungkook?.

What's this called? Self guilty or self loath or.........the harsh reality slaps that he can't always have his things his way only?.

Not when there are rules telling him what to do. People telling him to act and society discriminating his choices for him. What's this again? A call to freedom?.

He slowly regain his breath, slowly as the guilty melted into anger.

And last night , taehyung had a long talk with his anger only to realize her name was grief.

And he understands really well why he couldn't just move on and turn his back at everything, he had given a lot. He'd lost a lot.

His maturity comes faster than it should, he endure things too big for his age but he did in the name of love.

Perhaps people who says love is nothing but a word that only comes with pain and cries. Because they're right, the only thing love has only rendered him are loneliness, cries, pain and endless deal with his deadly grief.

A bump to his legs makes him snap out of his headspace, he finally realized he was in the middle of the living and the one who has crash into him is the heir. Taehyung move his gaze down to the boy who shriek and run away instantly making taehyung feels good in a sadist way.

At least he doesn't look easy for this boy to play with......like he looked simple for the king.

"Where are you coming from?" Taehyung snickered , eyes moving to boringly stare into the king's own. Here comes the devil in human's flesh.

"Out" he simply reply, wanting nothing but to jump into his bed and have his long due sleep.

But that idea seem to be throw out of window when Lee in ho matched towards him in hurry , hand flying up to drag taehyung's shirt down only to reveal the badly bruised skin.

"Is this a fucking hickey!!! You better answer me now Kim taehyung"

Well
