My Brother's Clone✔ [Taekook]

61. Stars

Taehyung's POV 

“Jungkook, thank you so much,” I whisper tilting my head to him. He has a beautiful smile on his lips as he stares at the point where the sea meets the sky. His eyes lidded from the last rays of the sun as he watches the colors of sunset spread across the sky, hues of orange and lilac swirling with the blue of the sky behind the dimming sun that now slowly sinks into the horizon. 

“Did you enjoy it here?” he asks, slowly tilting his face to me. 

“So much,” I say raising my head and smiling wide at him before looking back at the setting sun, intaking the beautiful scenery deep into my memory. When we headed from his home early, I didn't think he has such a surprise planned for me. 

A cool wind blows from the sea, giving me goosebumps all over my arms. Jungkook also shivers beside me. Both of our t-shirts and shorts are drenched in saltwater. For the last one and half hours, we have been, paddling and playing around in the sea splashing each other, chasing one another down, having a lot of fun. 

The last time I went to a beach was four years ago, along with hyung and noona. We had so much fun that day. Now I've hyung's almost identical brother beside me. I never even in my dreams thought that such things will happen in my life. Who in the world loses his brother in an accident and later meets someone looking like him and falls in love with him and then finds out he is actually his brother's brother but he is in no way related to him? 

 I've such a strange story. 

Now I just need to do the DNA test of me and his Mom and find out she is my Mother. I've successfully got her hair. But I'm already 99% sure she is my Mom. Even that woman, her friend told that I look so much like her. And today while we were preparing breakfast, she asked me how I got the stammer. I said I don't know. Then she said her grandmother had a slight stammer and that's probably how Moon got it. I think I also got it genetically. 

She is very nice and caring, just like my Mom. We talked a lot today morning and we got really close. I was nervous she won't like me but she actually liked me so much.

But I'm scared, Jungkook will get some doubts. My mind keeps on telling me, he will soon find out. I need to be extremely careful to not let him find out my real birth date. Also, I need to do the DNA test very secretively. 

“Wow!” Jungkook suddenly utters leaving my hands and opening his hands wide, feeling the cooling breeze whipping through his hair and billowing his shirt. His eyelashes flutter shut as he marvels at the warm sun rays against his tan skin. I smile at him and open my arms wide, following his model. 

Within no time, the sun is gone under the sea to rest for the night, letting me achieve my wish to sit back enjoying the cool breeze. “Jungkook, come, let's sit down,” I tell him. He nods to me and we sit back on the sand looking at the vast sea in front of us, sparkling under the dusk. 

He grabs my hands and intervenes our fingers, smiling slightly at me. I smile back and lean forward quickly pecking his lips. His lips spread a bit more against my lips. “I love you, Kookie,” I tell him, pulling away from the kiss after a few seconds. 

“I love you too, Tae,” he says. “C'mon, let's play a little more before it turns really dark,” then he shoots up pulling me up with him. 

He has a wide grin on his face as he runs holding my hands towards the cool waters that rush to meet our bare feet as we near the sea. He laughs out loud as the cool water tickles our feet. Soon saltwater is spraying in every direction drenching us again from head to toe. But we don't care. We are too busy holding hands and wading through water, splashing each other in the faces and laughing hard. 

I don’t want to let go of his hands, I don't want to stop laughing. All I could feel now is pure happiness. I have forgotten everything else as I look at him, laughing hard holding my hands. All I can hear now is the sound of his laughter. I feel like this is the most beautiful moment in my entire life. 

It's past 12 pm, when we reach back at the dorm. The hostel's garage is closed. So we park the car outside and walk to the back of the hostel. I don't have much trouble climbing the back wall today. I'm almost an expert at it now. I just jump down without waiting for Jungkook to pick me from the wall. But then suddenly a torchlight falls on me. 

“Oh fuck! Security,” Jungkook grunts. 

“Oh shit! W..what to do now?” I mutter nervously, covering my face with my palms to block the torchlight from falling over my face. 

Suddenly I feel Jungkook's hand curl around my wrist. And the next moment we are running at an extreme fast pace towards- I don't know where. 

“HEY, STOP! WHO ARE YOU?” The security shouts running behind us, his torch flashing on our back. 

I can hear his footsteps and shoutings just behind us but I don't turn back to look. I run along with Jungkook as fast as I could. Soon I'm climbing some steps, my wrist secured in Jungkook's hands. We keep on running up the stairs, which seems like forever. I didn't know our hostel has these many floors. Anyway glad that no footsteps are following us now. 

Suddenly Jungkook pushes open a door at the end of the stairs and pulls me in, closing the door behind. I look around and soon realize we are in the open terrace. Jungkook then drags me to a dark corner behind an elevated portion of the terrace and crouches down, pulling me down with him. 

“W..won't he f..find us here?” I pant out, sitting down on my heels and trying to catch his breath. 

“Let's hope he won't,” Jungkook pants back, sitting down cross legged beside me, shrugging his backpack off of him and helping me shrug off mine too. 

“Which b..building is this?” I ask him. 

“Dorm C,” he replies. 

“G..Girls' dorm??” I ask. 

“Yeah..” he sighs leaning back against the small wall behind us. The next moment he is smiling, looking up at the sky. I look up to see numerous freckles of silver stars, glinting and shimmering in the dark sky above us along with an ore gold moon. 

“Woah..” I mutter involuntarily, my mouth forming an 'O' at the wonderful sight above us. 

“Beautiful..” Jungkook utters. 

I smile tilting my face to him. “There's way too many s..stars in the sky today.” 

“They all came to see us,” he says in a husky whisper turning his face to me. 

“Yeah..” I smile. He smiles back and pulls me closer to him, throwing his hands around me. I lean my head comfortably against his shoulder. “So, we are spending this night here l..looking at the stars today?” 

“We will have to. It's dangerous to go downstairs now,” he says. 

“It's okay. Let's sleep here,” I say. He smiles tilting his head and kissing my forehead. But he soon withdraws wiping his lips with his palm. “Baby, you taste so salty,” he chuckles.

I can't help but laugh at him. Maybe all the sand and salt from my hair dripped down to my forehead along with my sweat as we ran so fast. Jungkook quickly closes my mouth with his palm. “Shh..Tae..don't laugh so loud.”

 I nod to him trying to control my laughter. He finally takes his palm away and sighs. “Baby, I feel so itchy. I wanna bath.” 

“Me too..” I groan rubbing my arms. I just wanted to take a bath and sleep peacefully. But now we have to spend the night here on the terrace of girl's dorm, feeling all itchy itchy. 

“Baby, just wait a few hours. We can go to our dorm early morning and shower,” he says. 

I nod to him and lean my head back on his shoulder. “You have p..practice morning, right? So, sleep,” I say and pull him to rest his head above mine.
