My You 🪄 Still the One | Taekook

Chapter 13

"I trust you more than my life"

"I'm really grateful, mister. Thank you for helping us"

Jungkook bowed to the old man.

"Nevermind, kid" he didn't even spare a glance at Jungkook.

Jungkook was grateful that the man didn't ask them any questions. Even Taehyung was wearing a cap with a mask. Jungkook didn't want to take any risks at the moment.

He watched the jeep pass by, staying still. Then his eyes found where Taehyung was. He kept looking at the elder. Breaths froze in the middle of Jungkook's heart.

He watched how serenely Taehyung smiled towards him. It was more than enough for Jungkook's raging heart to calm down for a moment.

They didn't have time to rest, yet there were no more choices left for the assassin. It was past midnight already. They should stay here.

Taehyung looked so tired. That sight made Jungkook's heart crumble into pieces at once. He took small steps towards Taehyung.

"I'm sorry I made you go through all this, Tae"

wrapping his arm gently around Taehyung's waist, Jungkook pulled him towards himself.

"I'm sorry"

"Shh..."

Taehyung placed his index finger onto the younger one's lips.

"Shh... it's not your fault, Kookie. I'm the one who made you go through all of this"

Jungkook shook his head in denial. His eyes never left Taehyung's side, not even for a moment.

"But, Tae..."

"No more apologies. Are we staying here? Ah?"

Taehyung pulled Jungkook's arm.

"Let's go"

Jungkook let out a sigh.

"Fine..."

He followed Taehyung, a serene smile appearing on the corner of his lips.

Jungkook watched as Taehyung ate mouthfuls, his cute bread cheeks turning pinkish. Nothing had changed.

Jungkook could vividly recall the day he first met Taehyung; it felt like yesterday. Taehyung was cute and tiny, eating just like this.

Jungkook remembered how he had eagerly added more noodles to Taehyung's plate, finding joy in watching him eat so cutely.

He wondered how that small, cute face had transformed into such a mature yet handsome one. Taehyung was one of the most attractive members of the group, alongside Seokjin. Yet Jungkook never expected him to have grown so much in these past four years.

"Jungkook-ah..."

Jungkook raised his brows, his eyes landing on Taehyung, scattering his own thoughts.

"Hmm..."

"Why aren't you eating?" Taehyung asked.

Jungkook shook his head, taking a little bite.

"I'm eating," he mumbled.

"Jungkook-ah, shall we book a room here? We are staying, aren't we?"

Jungkook bit his bottom lip. They couldn't stay.

Jungkook had made up his mind. They couldn't waste time no matter what, yet Jungkook didn't have much money left to hire a vehicle either. He scanned the restaurant, searching for a plan to leave with Taehyung as soon as possible.
