BABY MAFIA

13. From deepth within

Kookie: Not often. But when am a bit off the weather or feeling lonely or can't sleep then only I come up here
<he said while picking his brush up and turing to his canvas> again drawing here in this dim light under the open sky beneath the shade of stars gives me peace

[he was saying this dreamily while running his brush against the canvas oblivious to someone's fond and heartfelt stare. Without knowing that while he was getting lost in his world of colours someone was gradually getting lost in his doe eyes holding a whole galaxy]

Kookie: Hyung...Hyung <patting his shoulders> Hyung are you ok? Tae:<coming out of out of his daze> Huh..what happened?

Kookie: I should ask that? What happened to you? Was calling you for a minute now, you ok?

Tae: ohh... yeah yeah am ok. Sorry just got lost for a bit, what were You saving again?

Kookie: It's ok Hyung.. It happens. Nothing important just asking what do you do when you feel lonely?

Tae: Me? <He sound a bit perplexed confusing jungkook a bit>

Kookie: Hmm you? Like what do you like to do when you feel lonely or bored?

[He himself don't know why he is asking him this but what he surely knows that he wants to know everything about the elder, every little thing. His likes, his dislike, everything]

Tae: <was silent for a bit> I don't know actually... I didn't get the time to get bored or lonely i guess so I don't know...

Kookie: Huh? What do you mean Hyung..? <he was truly looking confused>

Tae: <smiled a little looking at that cute confused bunny> It's nothing just that I was always busy in my studies and learning about business after mom-dad left. Then I joined the company engaging fully in work and when ever I got a bit time Hyungs always pampered me like a baby... So in middle of everything I didn't got the time to get lonely or explore my hobbies and all..

[ though he said all this with a smile but the exhaustion from the heavy burden of the responsibilities he is carrying form the time, when other children just learn to play was evident in his ocean like eves]

Kookie: {That eyes... I don't like the look that ocean like eyes is holding now. I know how hard it is for a kid to understand the cruelty of the world in the age of learning to how play... I promise Hyung I'll help to live your childhood again, to do everything you
missed out.. tbh we missed out.. I know why you act childish in front of Hyungs so they don't get hold of the longing and lonelyness you hide behind that beautiful smile.. I promise to make You happy to the fullest. Though I know I can't love you the way I want but I can be the friend you never had Hyung}

[As Kookie was in his land of thoughts and self determination. Tae was fighting his vulnerability. He can't show this side of his to anyone. He loves to be the baby of his Hyungs. Now he want that pampering, loving and comforting side of kookie too
But...
He doesn't want pity from anyone not specially from the person infront... So as he knows he can't hold himself anymore and all his boundaries will fall apart with a single look of that bunny faced human. Though he wants to be in the embrace of  his love, he decided otherwise]

Tae: <without looking at Kookie> See I told you. I'll just distrub you if I stay here... you carry on I'll take my leave now..

[He hurriedly stood up from and waked towards the door but stopped feeling a tight hold on his wrist. Looking back his eves got stuck on the galaxies between those doe eyes of the younger. And without breaking the eve contact Jungkook slowly took him back to the stool and made him sit while himself kneeling in front of him]

Kookie: And I told you, you cold never. I like your company the most. And I am guessing that you know I have a hidden past and I might sound like a hypocrite but you shouldn't hold that emotions and tears back, Hyung.

Tae: <breaking the eye contact> Ahh.. what're you talking about jungkook? It's...

Kookie: <cutting him off> Don't Hyung... I know that look very well.. not only the look, anyways... I'm telling you from my own experience Hyung.. I know how much it hurts when you have buckets to pour out but what you can do is to keep it within Yourself. I know how it's feels to live keeping pent up emotions locked in the darkest part of your heart. So trying to avoid this topic or acting oblivious will not work with me.

Though I am still no one to tell you all this but I truly want to be that friend of yours with whom you don't have to act all rough-tough or have to act childish to hide your emotions. I want to be your that CLOSE ONE with whom you can bring out the true You.

Will you be my that friend Hyung. And tbh it's not just for you. I also want to let my pent up emotions free to someone and it can't be anyone better than you. Can we be that special one of each other Hyung?

[For a moment Tae didn't even register what's happening as the look of hope in Jungkook's beautiful eyes, the sincerity in his voice, the comfort in his presence was too overwhelming for him. He never had this type of talk with anyone. He was always the quite and hardworking child in school and a strict and determined boss in the office. Need not to mention the baby for his Hyungs but this is something different and new 'FRIENDSHIP' was always something luxury to him. He never had one even though he has an out going and easy charming personality but he never got any close to someone who he can call a "FRIEND". He knows he doesn't want Jungkook only as his friend at the end but at this moment it is really like a dream to him.
But..

"CAN HE BECOME THE PERSON JUNGKOOK LONGING FOR?"

At the end, only this thought occupied his mind. As he knows eventually Jungkook will become his everything. But do he also deserve to be that special to someone nonetheless to Jungkook.?...

The Jungkook, who he fell in love with, The Jungkook who he wants to be his, The Jungkook sitting in front of him with hope filled eves and The Jungkook from whom he is hiding his most important identity not to mention what jungkook hates the most. Can he do this? Though he wanted Jungkook to become comfortable around him, make him his friend but he never thought Jungkook, who doesn't even talk to anyone except his Hyung and best friend will himself ask him this type of questions creating this type of ambiance. His mind went blank. He did't know how to react or how to respond to that bunny waiting for answers. All this was so overwhelming that just some tears rolled down his cheeks without his knowledge.  He felt he was crying when a thumb cherished the apple of his cheeks wiping the tear away. Looking down he again got lost in those doe eyes again]

Kookie: <rubbing his thumb on Tae's cheeks softly> I know Hyung.. you are feeling overwhelmed. And I know that.....

✪So what do you guys think should be Tae's response?
✪Will they both be able to fight and win against their own fear?
