Things can only get better: Taekook short story

Part 11

They woke late, the sun shining onto the bed, still cuddling into each other. Jungkook kissed the sleep swollen eyes and mouth of the boy, then his cute button nose, making Tae giggle and hide his head in Jungkook's neck. Tae has never been this happy, and it scared him a bit, what if it all falls apart again, what if the same happens as with Minho, what if he again is not good enough. Jungkook felt the small body go stiff and he didn't need to be a mind reader to know what was running through the silver topped head. Pulling him closer, he lifted Tae's head up, so that he could look into the blue eyes. "Kim Taehyung, I love you, I will love you every second of my life, I will never let you down, I will never hurt you, I will never break you. Believe in my love for you, baby, please." Tae could see the earnestness in the other eyes. "Thank you, Koo, thank you for loving me just as I am, scaredy cat and shy, unsure of myself still, but just me. I love you Koo, so much" Jungkook crushed the boy to him, kissing everywhere he found a spot. The boy started giggling, trying to escape the kisses landing everywhere. Finally, Jungkook stopped, giving one last kiss to the smiling mouth. "I love you my angel, so much" And Tae was more than content, more than happy, he was ecstatic, he was loved.

The next week was crazy again, finalising the project with the launch. Tae putting in very long hours behind his computer, drawing, designing, changing designs.... He was beyond tired, not having more than 4 hours sleep in two days, but he was a perfectionist when it came to his work and if he was not satisfied, no-one will make him change his mind. The rest of the team were all passed out on couches, Bogum on the floor. Tae stretched his arms above his head. He was finally done. He cracked his neck a bit by moving it side to side. He was so tired. He got up, walking down the hallway to the vending machine in the reception area. He could do with a chocolate now. Standing in front of the machine, he felt eyes on him. Turning around, he looked outside the locked glass front doors and there stood Minho, glaring at him. Tae took a step back, wanting to run when he realised Minho can't enter the building, there are two nightguards and it is bullet proof glass. They stared at each other, till Minho made a cutting motion across his own throat, then pointing to Tae. Hearing his gasp, the security guard looked outside, seeing the movement and who it was, they have been informed about this person as a threat.

He immediately got on the radio to the other roaming guards, but when Minho saw the action of the guard, he ran away. Tae was still standing frozen in the same spot, his breath coming too fast, causing concern to the guard, who made the boy sit down and calm his breathing. "He can't get in hear Mr Taehyung, he can't get to you here" saying the same words over and over, the guard finally succeeded in calming the boy down. He then phoned Jungkook, who was at home, explaining in quick short sentences what happened. Before he was done, Jungkook was already almost to his car and on the way. The guard, on Jungkook's orders, took Tae back to his department, where he woke Yoongi up, explaining what happened. Jimin, who was sleeping on Yoongi's lap, heard it all, immediately kneeling next to his friend, holding his hands to calm him. In record time, Jungkook rushed into the office, pulling Tae up and into his arms, kissing his face everywhere. "Are you ok, baby, I am here, he can't touch you, I am here" Reassuring the boy over and over, kissing his face all the time, till Tae let out a small giggle, making everyone breathe a sigh of relief. "Koo, I am fine, I was just shocked, but he can't get to me here or at home, I am fine darling." Jungkook got a huge ass smile on his face on hearing the endearment, he was Taehyung's darling. Yoongi and Jimin rolled their eyes, while the others grinned and shook their heads. Aaah, young love.

Jungkook stepped up security at the company and home, the launch of Lee Incorporated just 1 day away, he didn't need any other stress. He was so proud of the design team; they did an incredible job and Mr Lee was over the moon with excitement.
