Fragile Longing (Taekook)

Chapter Sixteen

There was this unspoken silence between them.

It was like both wanted it but neither of them knew how to begin....

....................... .................. ..............

Kim Taehyung knew this is how water level of sea will rise. Because of those two best friends who seem to be crying nonstop since they have met. As if they were having a competition about who will win the battle of wailing.

He wanted to bolt from that place, looking for Yoona only if a bunny was not grasping onto the hem of his shirt so tightly even when embracing his friend with the other. Those eyes were shut, that button nose was pink, sobbing sound wrecking havoc, consoling words keep getting exchanged, Yet through it all, that kid has not let go of the hold he has over Taehyung's Shirt.

And he for some unknown reason, couldn't force that kid to do it either.

"What were yo...you thinking? Do...you know how worried I was? I thought animals will eat you alive like I saw in that discovery channel."

He needs to find out what program it was.

"I..I know. I was af..afraid too. B..But I think they didn..didn;t liked Ugly cow's face so they didn't eat us." The other one replied while sobbing and Kim Taehyung for the hundred time again had to control himself from not throwing that kid away from him.

Truth to be said, he was seething in anger yet not being able to have the strength to go away from that place. Because that little one was still holding onto him and he for some unknown reason, couldn't make that kid who was still complaining about him to her friend, let go. So with a defeated sigh he stood as close as he could gulping down bitterly every remark about being an ugly cow.

"Young Master!"

Taehyung's eyes went towards the voice. A middle aged man was standing a little far away from them looking at the kid with a warm smile in his face. That little one must be familiar with him cause as soon as he heard that voice, he almost ran to that man, letting go of Taehyung.

Making him narrow his eyes. The protectiveness inside him raising it's head, almost going after that kid but stoopping himself in last moment. Maybe that man was family. Even if he wasn't, it wasn't Taehyung's business to know who that kid hug or not. Why were they even hugging like that? That man looked old.

So are you

His conscience screamed making him scoff. Though he didn't had to concentrate on it more cause a sharp sting ran through his arm announcing his dear sister's arrival who has just delivered her first punch of the day. There were more, he knew. Still he tried...

"Listen, I am older than you. I basically raised you. I am your broth..Aac!" Taehyung looked at his sister with betrayal in his eyes.

"Older huh? Let me tell you how older you are, dumbo."

Taehyung moved away before another punch or kick landed on him. He knew this will happen. Kim's always had a different way of showing emotions. He gets silent when he is angry or worried, she gets violent. So he knew this was bound to happen. He just didn't know it will happen in front of so many children and that wacko of a friend he got.

"Kim Yoona!"

"What Kim Yoona?" Another punch was landed on his arms making Jimin snicker loudly while him giving that idiot a stink eye. Still he decided he won't kill him cause he was here for her when Taehyung wasn't able to. It made him feel relief to know that there will always be someone to take care of her even if one day he won't be able to. Another kick on his leg snapped his attention towards his angry sister who was still kicking his butt.
