All the love in the world: A Taekook Short Story

Part 6

Seojoon came later, sitting down with Tae.

"Bear, I think give them a chance, they really regret their actions. Don't open your heart just yet but give him and your friends a chance. You know mistakes are easily made. She really fooled them well, but how can you punish them forever for a mistake made. Did Jungkook and your friends mean so little to you? That you will just go on? He wants to fight for you, but you don't, maybe your love is fake and his love real? No-one said love is easy, there will always be ups and downs, mistakes made, you just have to decide, is Jungkook worth the fight, or not."

Seojoon just had ways of saying something that made your insides crawl, he didn't sugar coat.

Jungkook and his friends were sitting at Jin's house. The mood so dark, they didn't really know what to do now. They all hoped that when Jungkook spoke to Tae that things can be fixed. But now...Jungkook jumped up, scaring the others a bit "I am not giving up. I will show that stubborn angel that my love is not fake. I will show him!" And off he went to buy bunch of lilies and Tae's favourite chocolates. He stopped before paying. Tae is not into these huge gestures, he appreciates thought and effort, personal gestures. So Jungkook went back to his own house to think.

After a few hours, he got ready, he left for Tae's apartment.

Tae was lying on his bed when he heard a knock on his door. Now what... He opened his door, seeing candles in a heart on the tiles in front of his door. Jungkook sitting in the centre on a blanket, his guitar in his one hand, a single rose in the other. Tae shook his head but walked out. Jungkook patted the blanket next to him, holding out his hand for Tae, a pleading look in his eyes. Walking to where Jungkook sat, he stepped over the candles and sat down on the blanket, taking the rose from Jungkook. Jungkook took his guitar and started strumming slowly. And then he sang a song Tae loved, one of his favourites, of true love and forever, never to lose each other, never to let go. The poor boy could not stop the tears from running down his cheeks. He told Jungkook once, when they just started dating, that this was his favourite song. Jungkook remembered. When the song was done, Jungkook looked at Tae with bright eyes. "I won't give up, I won't stop loving you, I will fight for you. I am sorry, Tae, I am really so sorry..." Tae fell forward into Jungkook's arms, hugging him while crying, but a smile was on his face. "I love you Jungkook, I won't stop fighting, I won't stop trying, I won't give up..." Jungkook's eyes went wide looking at the blue-eyed boy. "Baby...does this mean..." "Yes, Koo, I want us to have another chance as well. Seojoon hyung just had to crack my stubborn shell to realise I want what you want, I want us. I will try my best to make us work, no turning back this time, I won't step back again." "And I will never put anybody before you, ever again. Fuck, I love you so much." "I love you too, Koo. And I am also sorry, for being weak, for not fighting, for stepping back, for also hurting you." "All forgiven my angel, all over and done with." "Let's go to our friends, I also need to make that right."

They walked hand in hand to Jin's house, Jungkook texting them all to meet there. Jungkook pushed open the door, seeing all 5 there. He pulled Tae behind him, never letting go. "Guys, we have a guest, or maybe just a long lost friend." Everyone jumped up seeing Tae, who smiled shyly. "I am sorry for pushing you guys away when you wanted to make things right..." "No, you have nothing to apologise for! We were the idiots being led around by the nose like a bloody circus lama! We are sorry, so sorry..." "We are..." "Ok, wow, stop everyone." Jungkook held his hand up. "I am sorry, you and you and you and you and you are sorry, and Tae is sorry, this is a sorry mess. We are all sorry, we all forgave the other, it is over. Now we start fresh and make it right, ok?" a chorus of yes's and hugs followed.

The group bought pizza and had an evening filled with laughter and fun, like it used to be. Tae, sitting on Jungkook's lap, felt whole again, this is where he was supposed to be. He got a call from the Woogas, just to make sure he is ok, and he shared the news. They were happy, they knew the friends and Tae and Jungkook will sort it out.

Jungkook walked Tae home, holding his hand. As they stood before Tae's door, Jungkook slowly pulled Tae closer, until he was wrapped in his arms. Bending down slowly, he gave Tae a chance to pull away. When he didn't, he went in for the kiss, Tae's arms wrapped around the taller boy's neck, leaning into the muscled body. They kissed each other as if there was no tomorrow, which there almost wasn't. Finally breaking the kiss, they stared at each other and finally, the bunny smile Jungkook gave Tae made his heart skip a beat. That smile was for him, no-one else.
