The Fault In Romance

61

taehyung's pov:

two weeks went by so slowly for me but so fast for everyone else. I am doing a lot better now. I can walk by myself and actually shower myself, it was hard at times relying on jungkook all the time even though he was amazing. not only has my love gone up for him but my respect and appreciation for him also has. I remind him everyday how thankful I am to have him in my life. 

I know he still feels really guilty about a lot of things. I sometimes catch him staring at the wall, I ask him what is on his mind and he says he has been kicking himself about us arguing and him not protecting me. 

I thought he was the cutest person ever. it does mean a lot that he does have those thoughts and wants to protect me but I dont like how he blames himself. I tried to explain to him that I could of told him, but I kept it from him. it was my own fault, I did try to fight back but it is what it is. 

"there is no point trying to change what happened, we can only grow from it" is what I always try to remind him. the first few days after being in the hospital were really draining, for me and jungkook. he was tired and exhausted and I had no energy. 

on the third day I ended up texting ryan and asked if he could come stay with me for the night while jungkook went home and got some rest. jungkook was not happy when ryan showed up, we both knew how tired the raven is. 

ryan convinced jungkook to go home and promised him he will update him if need be. it was quite fun having a sleepover with ryan. we watched a few movies, played a few games until I napped. ryan slept in my room on the couch, I felt really bad but I was glad it was a comfortable couch that I have slept on many times. 

that day jimin popped over in the afternoon and had dinner with ryan and I. after we had dinner jimin helped me shower and get into bed. the following day jungkook was at mine bright and early before I woke up. he looked a lot better which made me feel good. 

jungkook was glad he was back looking after me. I thought it was cute how clingy he has been. I have been doing physio everyday, which has been amazing but painful. I am able to walk but at times it hurts especially if I am on my feet for long. there were two days until jungkook's big game. 

he has been training like crazy. it has been a busy week. today is wednesday which means it is family bbq day, we are going to jungkook's place for dinner which I am nervous about and excited. on thursday jungkook has training for his game on friday night, they moved the dates again and now graduation and the basketball game are on the same day. 

we all graduate during the day then at night we have the big game to end the year. 

I was so excited for all of it. tomorrow I have a doctors appointment and I was going to go by myself but jungkook is coming with me, I cant drive anywhere sadly so I was going to get a taxi. jungkook was instant of coming to my appointment so I am letting him. 

"you ready to go to jungkook's darling?" I heard my mum call from downstairs, I quickly got my phone and put on some perfume before going downstairs. 

"come on we are running late" my mum said, dad was behind her holding a large white dish that held some yummy pork. there was tin foil over it to try keep it warm. 

"sorry" I whisper as I hurry up to get in the car, feeling bad that I was the reason we were running late. I spent the last hour or two trying to figure out what I wanna wear. deciding on one thing just to chuck it on my bed to pick something else. 

the nerves were getting to me. my parents meeting jungkook's parents. they have briefly interacted before but not full on like this. when I saw we pulled up to jungkook's place my nerves grew more and more. 

when we walked up to the door and knocked I smiled as soon as my eyes met mrs jeons. 

"oh tae! I am so glad you're here" mrs jeon said, pulling me into a hug. I hugged back and smiled, when we pulled apart she started talking to my parents. I looked towards the stairs when I heard footsteps loudly coming closer. 

I smiled as soon as I saw jungkook walking towards me, I spread my arms for him as his arms wrapped around my waist. I smiled when I felt the raven peck my neck a few times. 

"I missed you" he whispered against my neck. 

"we saw each other at school today" I laughed quietly. 

"yeah but we did not get to spend any time together" jungkook pouted, I felt my heart flutter when I felt him peck my cheek before going to greet my parents. 

once it was dinner time we all sat around the table, I was sat next to jungkook who had his hand on me thigh. he was being very careful to not touch my knee which I thought was quite cute. 

I did not pay attention to my parents talking to jungkook's parents. if I am being honest all I wanted to do was to ditch this dinner and go to jungkook's room to cuddle. falling asleep in his arms is one of my favourite feelings. I am glad our parents let us have sleepovers. 

I think after jungkook looked after me my parents saw how much he cared, it made them feel a lot for content with me being in a relationship. dont get me wrong, they love jungkook. but they were always worried about me getting hurt. 

after we had dinner and helped them clean up, the parents were in the lounge talking as they watched tv. I was finishing cleaning the table when I felt strong arms wrap around my waist, I smiled as I felt jungkook peck my neck. 

"what are you doing?" I giggle, feeling him nuzzling into my neck as his arms tighten around my waist. 

"recharging" he whispers, a smile evident in his voice. I hummed after cleaning the table. I turned around in his arms and slowly pecked his lips, not wanting to make a noise. 

"can we go to your room" I pout, he nods his head and takes the things out my hands and places them on the table before he picks me up and takes me to his room. I was surprised our parents did not notice, but they all seemed so deep in conversation. 

having 'adult talk' 

I giggled when jungkook placed me under the covers of his bed and immediately slid in himself, only to pull me into his arms. pecking my forehead over and over again. 

"I love you so much tae" he whispered against my hair. 

"I love you more" he never believes me when I say 'I love you more' he thinks he loves me more. impossible I always think.
