Yours For Eternity (Taekook)

59: A Life To Continue

Jungkook closed his eyes as his heart ached again. His hand softly rubbed his chest. Breathing was getting hard.
It was all over..
No more battle..
No more evil..
Yet his eyes held tears.. pale faced with tear stains visible on his cheeks.
Days passed. Jungkook was still alive. Lost in his thoughts and memories.
It seems that fate and life didn't want to put a full stop to his story yet.
He still couldn't believe he was sitting here struggling to breath.
A week ago he though he would die. A week ago he thought it was the end.
The way he felt darkness swallow him the moment he realised his baby had no more heartbeat. It was all over for him...
But then that witch looked at him, astonished.. eyes holding nothing but wonder...
He ran all the way back to the castle cradling the cold body of his mate.. his baby.. in his arms, close to his chest....
Now here he is, sitting on their bed, eyes closed trying to calm himself. The soft thrumming he felt reduced the ache.
The beats trying to synchronize with his own heartbeat...relaxed him. Another fast but much quiter beat managed to curve his lips upward. A small smile.
Entwining his fingers with that of the still sleeping male.. he relaxed. He's still here...
His baby is here.. with him.. close to him...
He pushed away the horrible memories that was invading his mind and remembered the words the elder said that revived his dead soul.
"Fate and luck are on your side this time
Jungkook.. I don't know how but I was sure a second ago he didn't have a heartbeat .. but it seems the desire to be with you, brought him back. Maybe it's your bond... maybe it's because he's an elemental.. or as much as stupid as I sound while saying this.. it might be your love..." the old man smiled and continued. "...the witches have managed to heal him. But his body is still cold and he's not conscious. We should take him to healers."
That was how he ran to the castle holding his baby securely.
Everything was perfect. It's just that Taehyung hasn't woken up even after a week, he hasn't shown any signs of movement. He just stayed still and it was slowly building a small fear in him. What if he never wakes up?
Leaning towards him, Jungkook planted a sweet kiss on his lips and then leaned down to place a soft kiss on his tummy, this one for his pup.
His friends and parents have been nagging him for almost two hours now. Because he didn't have lunch yet. He wasn't hungry. And they wanted him to eat...
"Jungkook you shit! You still didn't eat!?"
He heard a familiar shout.
He looked towards the direction of the door and mumbled " Go away.."
He heard a gasp and a fake sob.
"You! How could you! Me! After going through all this pain and suffering.. nearly dying twice.. and this! This is the treatment I get... rude.." She continued with her drama and fake sobs.
"Urgh! Shut up Maryl! Fine!" He said and walked towards the small table placed in the room. He grabbed the plate and started shoving the food inside his mouth not even caring about what he was eating.
"Done." He said and placed the plate back on the table and ran to clean his mouth.
"That was fast!" She said amused.
"Well yeah! I don't know when he'll wake up... so.." Jungkook said as he returned to his position back on the bed.
"He looks healthy and good sooo any time now." Marylin said as he watched the sleeping male.
"I still can't belive it.. all I remember is that idiot and then darkness.. then after... what. 500 years?... I wake up. And all... this?!" She said moving her hands around.
Jungkook just rolled his eyes. But he was glad he got his friend back. Everyone back.
It was funny actually when Marylin woke up three days ago. She was so confused.
And after knowing what all happened the first thing she did was to beat up Hoseok screaming all sorts of profanities. She chased him around the whole castle until he begged her for forgiveness for 'forcefully' marking her. But everyone knew she was happy.
It's almost entertaining how everytime they see each other now both flush equally and start running in opposite direction. The others watched them amused.
He saw her walking out of the room mumbling under her breath, shutting the door. Jungkook didn't care.
He caressed his baby's forehead and layed beside him. He smiled softly. "Remember, back then it was you who had to wait for me and now.. look at me, having to wait for you always."
He wrapped an arm around Taehyung's waist and slowly layed his head on his chest, his ears listening to the soft beat of his heart.
"It's just starting to scare me you know....
I know.. I know you're here and you're trying but... wake up a bit faster okay? I just miss you.... are you even listening? God! I must be looking like a fool now." Jungkook sighed and pressed a kiss over the fabric where his heart was.
He unbuttoned a few buttons of the shirt Taehyung was currently wearing to see a small scar on his chest. A permanent scar where the dagger had pierced before.
His fingers traced it. It stood out very well on his otherwise spotless smooth skin.
Unknowingly a tear fell from Jungkook's eyes on the scarred skin. He leaned down and kissed him over the scar that held horrible memories for him.
"Sorry... I couldn't make it go away." Jungkook whispered and buttoned back the shirt and layed back with an arm still around him.
His free hand automatically entwined with Taehyung's. "Wake up already baby." He whispered again.
His eyes began to droop as he watched the beautiful male beside him.
He was jerked awake from his nap suddenly. He jumped up and looked around to spot someone in the room. No one.
He frowned thinking what caused him to wake up like that...
A minute later he got the answer.
His eyes widened and his heart began to beat faster. He looked at his hand that was entwined with Taehyung's. The hand that squeezed his
