BASK IN BETRAYAL|| TAEKOOK||

⚜️37:I Am Yours⚜️

Scared, restless and anxious are the feelings Taehyung is way familiar with.
After his twin brother and mother's death he has always felt these feelings lingering in the air around him. And now as he sees Jungkook being extremely guilty for Namjoon's situation, he can't help but feel anxious and restless..
He is scared.
'What if Namjoon's arrival impacts their relationship?'

'What if Namjoon still loves Jungkook?'

'And what if Jungkook accepts Namjoon?'

Well Taehyung in no way can stop Jungkook from marrying again.
Jungkook being a king can marry again.

Taehyung can't help but think of all the possible negative outcomes.
And it's not even his fault, after all,
Jungkook and Taehyung's relationship started because of responsibilities.
Whereas Jungkook and Namjoon's relationship started because of love.

"Are you asleep ?" Taehyung's hears Jungkook's voice.

"No, do you want something?" Taehyung pipes in.

"I can't sleep" Jungkook's mumbles in a small voice.
He and Taehyung both are lying on the bed for past 1 hour but looks like both of their minds are tangled up.

"Why?" Taehyung faces Jungkook. His hands automatically traveling towards Jungkook's bump.

"Namjoon... " The king mumbles as a tear drop downs his face.

"What about Namjoon, Hyung" Taehyung asks, his own voice turning heavy due to emotions.

"He is a good man, intelligent but naive..
I never saw him doing anything that would harm even a fly. Then why did such a tragic thing happened with him...

I can't help but feel guilty.. bear, he was targeted because of me...
If only I would have trusted him enough." Jungkook says as tears after tears fall out of his eyes.

Taehyung embraces Jungkook, letting him cry his heart out. That's all Jungkook had been doing since he found out about Namjoon.

"Hyung... It's fine.. Namjoon's situation was something you couldn't control...
He even told you he loved someone else... Let's forget the past Hyung and focus on what's on our plates now"
The prince says stroking his husband's back to make him calm down.
"He is coming to capital right ... We have a chance to save him and believe me we will save him"Taehyung comforts

"I love you so much" Jungkook says out of nowhere making the prince smile.

"I.."

"Say it back" Jungkook says looking at Taehyung accusingly.

"What 'say it back'?" Taehyung teases.
Wiping down Jungkook's face of any tears.

"I love you, say it back"

Seeing that Jungkook's mood has changed now Taehyung decides to voice out his worries too.

"Hyung, what if Namjoon still loves you?" Taehyung asks.

"We were not in each other's destiny Taehyung... No matter how hard that truth is he would have to accept it...
I will take care of him for the rest of my life...repent for the mistakes I did...

Give him anything that he wants, but not me...

I am yours" Jungkook replies sincerely.

As much as Jungkook feels guilty, he knows his boundaries.
He knows if he would have been more careful about Namjoon, maybe Namjoon would have been saved from the cruel fate he has gone through.

But still fate didn't play out how he wanted it to play, and circumstances happened. It was fate that separated Jungkook and Namjoon and it was fate that brought together Taehyung and Jungkook.

And Jungkook is aware of that fact.

"You're mine" Taehyung asks.
His earlier anxiousness disappearing at Jungkook's words.

"Yeah , and you're mine, your body, soul heart, everything is mine Taehyung.
I claim you just like you claim me" the king narrates

" My worries were futile" Taehyung says pecking Jungkook's lips.

"What worries?" Jungkook asks perplexed.

"Nothing just... I was being insecure about Namjoon's arrival in our lives...
My mind was playing tricks on me...
I thought what if you'd accept Namjoon again" Taehyung shares his insecurities.

"Really... There is no need to get insecure bear... As I said I am yours...
Whatever happens it's just you and me, together"
Jungkook reassures Taehyung.
He knows that Taehyung can get insecure quite easily, and he must have had doubts about Namjoon. He knows behind his beautiful strong husband lies a child, who was neglected by his father. And Jungkook will always reassure his husband on his insecurities.

"I love you" Taehyung says, although his love for Jungkook cannot be summed up in just words he still says it.

"I love you too" Jungkook says, cuddling Taehyung, throwing his legs and arms around Taehyung.

"Agghh...Hyung you're heavy" Taehyung says as he tries pushing away Jungkook.

"Shut up...you weren't saying this when you lifted me up while having sex...so don't complaint now" the king retorts.

Taehyung laughs at Jungkook's words.
As he himself tightens his arms around Jungkook.

Closing his eyes, now peaceful because of Jungkook's words he can finally sleep.

⚜️

It was early morning
Jungkook was standing on the gates of the palace, waiting for Namjoon's arrival.
Taehyung was also by his side.
Now that Jungkook has assured him he no longer feels intimidated by Namjoon's arrival.
Although he doesn't even know the face of Namjoon he is also concerned about the condition of said man.

"They are here" Jungkook says as he sees a carriage coming towards palace gates.

Soon the carriage stops just a little bit away from both the kings.
"Greetings your highness" the driver of carriage says bowing down.

Jungkook hastily steps towards the gates of carriages, his heartbeat increasing in worry.

"Open the gates" The king orders, a hint of slight desperation evident in his voice.

The carrier immediately compiles the request of king.
Jungkook jumps into the carriage as soon as the door opens.

However his heart stops at the view infront of him. His eyes widens as he takes in Namjoon's state.

Namjoon lies in the carriage, covered just by a silk sheet.
His face having cuts and bruises, body drowned in whip marks.
His complexion, pale white, almost ghostly.
Lips chapped and blue.
It's evident that he has been severely abused.

Jungkook's knees give up due to the sudden fatigue that overtakes his body.
He feels extremely nauseous.

"Hyung" Taehyung says entering in the carriage, when he sees Jungkook's condition. He himself feels disturbed by the sight of Namjoon.

Jungkook's breathing accelerates as he thinks about all the torments Namjoon must have gone through.

"Hyung come on let's go out..." Taehyung urges but his words are like a distant call for Jungkook. His vision blurs and in just a matter of seconds jungkook loses his consciousness.

"Hyung no.." Taehyung cries out, supporting Jungkook.
"It's not possible to get him out...
Take the carriage towards the infimary" he orders to the driver.
And soon the carriage starts advancing towards the infimary...
