And I swore to me ♪

Third Person's POV

"Jungkook-ah, you don't need to help me. Go spend some time with Taehyung-ie, I can manage here." Mrs. Kim, Taehyung's grandma said to the younger boy who was helping her with the dishes.
Jungkook, Taehyung and Mrs. Kim just finished their lunch and Taehyung went upstairs because he had some assignments to finish and Jungkook stayed with Mrs. Kim to help her with the dishes.
"Ah no, he's studying so don't wanna disturb him, and I would rather spend time with you than him. He's a jerk." Jungkook said the last sentence in a small pout.
Mrs. Kim smiled at him, clearly endeared by the boy.
"You like him, don't you?" Mrs. Kim asked him after a while and Jungkook halted.
"Haha..what are you talking about, nana? I like whom?" He nervously laughed it off which made Mrs. Kim smile even more.
"You, young boy, I can see right through those eyes. Now, tell me the truth." Mrs. Kim asked again as she dried her hands and walked towards the couch.
Jungkook also followed her soon after.
"Mhmm, I do like him." Jungkook confessed with a sigh and Mrs. Kim looked like she was about to explode due to happiness.
"Omo, I knew it!" She clapped excitedly. The sound of her clap echoing louder than the sound coming out of the television.
"Uh but I'm pretty sure Tae won't ever look at me like that. He's way out of my league." Jungkook said in a small pout and Mrs. Kim couldn't resist the urge to pinch the younger's cheek.
"Stupid boy! How do you know he won't reciprocate your feelings?"
"He just- he never really looks interested in me much. It's always me who talks and talks and he just listens....I don't know if he really listens or just...I don't know! All I know is he gets annoyed by me easily...." Jungkook said out loud with that same pout resting on his lips.
"Oh Jungkook-ie.....Taehyung talks about you everyday. Literally, he would start with how his day went at the university and it would always start with you bringing him some bubble tea and would end with the lame pickup lines you used on him everyday." Mrs. Kim explained with a soft smile and Jungkook's doe eyes went wide, his round cheeks turning the prettiest shade of pink.
"R-really? He talks about me?"
Jungkook could feel his cheeks heating up more and more by each passing second.
"Of course! I don't know if he likes you in a romantic way, yet.....but I can tell my baby trusts you a lot. He- he never had someone to rely on you know? He was always an independent person, he never accepted any help from anyone, he loves doing things on his own and that's because he doesn't trust people. He hates relying on others and trusting them, he feels they'll break him at one point anyway so why waste his energy on people who aren't worth it? But...he trust you, I can tell. Give him some time, Jungkook-ah yeah? Taehyung doesn't know what actual love feels like, he never had someone to love him except for me and his brother, he's really lonely and he-he protects his heart all the time, it's very fragile, he doesn't want others to step on it again. Give him some time, I'm sure he'll realize his feelings as well....just don't give up on him, yeah? I just know Taehyung is very close to falling for you and I am counting on you. You'll catch him when he falls right?" Mrs. Kim asked, he may have asked this teasingly but he could tell it was a genuine question.
"Always, nana! I'm content with being his friends right now. I know he has probably gone through some shits so it's obvious he's cautious around people but don't worry, it's me, I'll never ever hurt him, I promise, I can even pinky promise." Jungkook even help out his pinky for Mrs. Kim to join with her and Mrs. Kim chuckled at the boy's antique.
"You're adorable." She said as she joined her pinky with Jungkook's and the boy giggled.

"So, did you have fun today?" Taehyung asked as both Jungkook and Taehyung walked by each other.
It was around 8pm and Taehyung was walking Jungkook to his apartment. Both were silent for a while until Taehyung spoke.
"Yeah! Nana is so fun to be around, she's even better than you." Jungkook said with a huge grin. He then went on to explain what he and Mrs. Kim did throughout the day when Taehyung was studying and doing his assignments.
And Taehyung? Taehyung just listened to the boy intently with a soft smile, hidden under his mask.
Taehyung still wore mask because he felt comfortable with it, not that he feels uncomfortable with Jungkook. Taehyung just feels safe when he's outside, with a mask on.
"Did you really have that much fun?" Taehyung asked in a soft tone and Jungkook almost melted.
"I did....she's so kind and beautiful. You and her have a very similar yet a very different personality. I like her so much." Jungkook said with a soft smile and Taehyung knows that he means it.
"You can come whenever you want. Nana stays at home most of the days. On weekends I take her out to spend some time together." Taehyung said in a small voice and Jungkook could feel the hint of sadness in his voice.
"You're an amazing person, an amazing friend and most importantly an amazing grandson. I've never seen someone loving their grandparents so much. You do everything you can for her, not just because of responsibility but because you love her, she's so proud of you Taehyung-ie hyung, she told me, she is really proud of her baby." Jungkook said with the same soft smile, but this time his eyes shined a lot brighter.
"I hope so...I hope I'm doing a good job."
"Of course you are! Never underestimate my Taehyung-ie hyung, he's the best!" Jungkook raised one of his fist in the air and giggled soon after when he heard Taehyung chuckling.
"Oh by the way, tomorrow is Sunday. I'm taking Nana to a nursery, she's been wanting to go there for long, so do you want to tag along? I will also visit a pottery class after that, you can come with me as well, we can hang out." Taehyung proposed the idea and Jungkook couldn't be more happy.
"Of course, I would love to! But....won't I be ruining your time with nana?" Jungkook asked, soon frowning at the thought.
"Shut up, Nana looks like she loved you more than me. She'll be very happy if you join us." Taehyung said.
"Hehe everyone loves me. I'll be joining you guys then and also, I'll be picking you two up." Jungkook said and he sounded serious.
"Alright, I'll let you pick us up-" Jungkook looked at Taehyung with wide eyes, how the hell did he agree so easily without throwing a fit?
"-but I'll pay for everything. Even if you buy a water bottle, I'll pay for it." Taehyung said with a shrug and Jungkook scowled at him.
"Asshole! Ok fine." At last Jungkook grumbled out.
