The Fault In Romance

22

taehyung pov:

I had spent the past couple hours cleaning the house. today was the study day, I was quite looking forward to it. I had baked some cupcakes and done different food platters across the kitchen bench. I had the lounge set up with folded blankets on each couch just in case anyone got cold. 

"honey, I will be leaving soon and will be back later on tonight" I heard my mum say as I turned on the gas fireplace. 

"that is fine mum, make sure you and dad stay warm" I reply, sorting out the lounge a little more. 

"the drinks are all ready in the fridge for your study session" 

"you can leave now mum if you want, you dont have to stay" I said, placing the pens on the coffee table. 

"it's okay honey, I want to meet this jungkook friend of yours. I have a slip of paper I need him to sign for his appointment in a few days" I nodded at what my mum was saying, a little distracted by trying to organise everything. the last time I spoke to jungkook he was talking about how far behind he is in every subject. he has a assessment for each class and its taking up so much of his time. 

I could tell he has been stressing over it so I thought it would be nice to help him at least complete majority of his assessments. the others are just coming for a couple hours but jungkook is staying the night. since it is the weekend. 

it has been a couple of days since I slept over at jungkook's house. that morning I woke up, I did not feel well at all. I woke up earlier then jungkook, when I did wake up I did blush at how close we were. 

how his arms were wrapped around my body and how my hand was on his chest. I loved the feeling of it, I felt safe. I wanted to leave before luke got up so I decided to leave early. around eleven in the morning I got a call from jungkook asking where I am, he seemed disappointed I left early. I did feel guilty but I just told him my parents needed me home. 

it was something he could not argue with. 

I have not seen the others for a few days since classes were cancelled. today is the first day since sleeping over at jungkook's. 

"do you have enough food for everyone?" my mum asks, I walk towards the kitchen and nod. 

"I think so. its just ryan, jungkook, jimin, namjoon, jin and yoongi coming over" I replied and she hummed, heading into her office for a bit. as I sat on the couch to wait for the others to show up who were on their way. 

the first knock on the door was loud, I nearly flinched. when I got up to open the door I pulled it open to see jungkook standing there, two pizza boxes in his hand. 

"you didn't have to bring anything, I have already prepared snacks" I say, letting him in before all the warm air gets out. 

"I cant show up empty handed. it is so nice and warm in here" the raven said as we walked into the lounge. I watched as he placed the pizza boxes on the couch and walked towards me, his arms spread as he pulled me to his chest gently. 

I smiled and rested my head against his shoulder. my hands placed on his waist gently. 

"how are you feeling?" he whispers against my hair. 

"a lot better, I woke up feeling really off the day after the sleepover. so I spent the next following days resting" I whispered against his shoulder. 

"did you have a headache?" he questioned and I nodded. 

"are you sure you wanna help me study today?" he questioned, I smiled and removed myself from the hug. 

"I want to help you. I owe you for letting me sleep next to you and for helping me" I replied, moving to the kitchen as I heard him follow behind me. 

"tae, I dont want you to feel like you owe me anything for that. I helped you cause I wanted to. I dont ever expect anything in return. it makes me feel happy when you come to me when you need" he says from behind me, i turn around and frown. 

"why?" I ask. 

"cause I feel like it means you trust me, that is important to me" he whispers, the room falls silent and I cant contain the fluttering butterflies in my stomach or the fast beat of my heart. the way jungkook keeps looking at me and does not look away causes my stomach to turn, in a good way. 

when I watch as his eyes go from my own to my lips, I gulp. my own eyes doing the same as he steps closer. 

"oh you must be jungkook!" I heard my mothers voice immediately boom through the room, causing the both of us to jump back. 

"oh mrs kim, I am delighted to meet you" jungkook says, shaking her hand as he bows. 

"your a very handsome young man, taehyung has said so much about you. it is great to meet you in person" she smiles and now I feel like kicking her where the sun dont shine. I dont need jungkook knowing I gush over him to my mum. 

"good things I hope" jungkook chuckles as my mum winks. 

"now jungkook follow me, I want to show you where your appointment will be and I have a paper for you to sign. it just goes over confidentiality and policies that protect you as a client" she said as they both walked out the kitchen. 

I quickly get everything else ready and go take jungkook's bag up to my bedroom. he brought two bags, one bag filled with school stuff and the other is his personal one. I take his personal one to my room.
