Never without you

Chapitre 22

Without a word, he stomped to the couch, grabbed the blanket, and took Taehyung in his arms, the latter hugging him as tighter as he could. With a determined look, he looked at his mother before speaking.

-this is Taehyung, and I won't go anywhere without him.

His mother blinked, speechless. After a moment, she nodded.

-ok... ok, of course. You can go to grandpa, both of you. But...

-he is probably hunt by the police...

-... of course...it would be too simple, right ?? let me think...

Both men were speechless, unable to do something but hugging the other, finding some comfort in their warm bodies.

-found it ! the box in my closet ! and didn't you have some little oxygen bottle ? from when you did snorkeling ? remember ?

-oh !! yes it's in my closet !

-come with me !

They came to the parent's room and Jungkook found a big box in the top of the closet. It was a big one, very heavy, and he needed Taehyung's help to carry it.

Once opened, Jungkook's mother emptied it.

-what's... this ?? asked Jungkook.

-some souvenirs... mumbled his mother. Voilà ! it would be good ! take it to the living room ! and go pack your bag ! don't forget the bottle !

Both boys didn't understand what was going on but they obeyed like they did.

-Ok, so Taehyung, lay down in the box, wait, with a cushion, it would be better...

-mom, what's your plan ??

-he will be transported in this box, without anyone noticing ! and the oxygen bottle will help him until he reached your grandpa's home, it won't be long, half an hour maybe, not more. And you, Jungkook, you will go with me.

-no ! we can take the box with us ! I won't le...

-no, it's ok Jungkook, it won't be long, right ? I will be ok, don't worry.

-and the box won't fit in my car, I will call for a transporter I know.

With that, she took a phone to call them.

-I don't want to let you in this shitty box ! I don't want it !

Jungkook was panicking, his mind couldn't but think about awful things that could happened to Taehyung.

-hey, it's ok, I will be ok, don't worry said Taehyung.

He grabbed Jungkook's neck and softly peck his cheek while Jungkook closed his eyes. Being apart from Taehyung even less than one single our freaked him out. He tried to think with rationality, to be the more objective he could be, but it was like all his common sense had left his mind. But Jungkook could feel how tense Taehyung was in his arms, making him open his eyes to straight away scolded himself for being so dumb and egoistic. Taehyung was trying all he could to not burning in panic and seeing his lover so scared to let him go hidden in the box didn't help to be confident about this plan. So, Jungkook breathed one more time and put a soft smile on his face to relief the only person in the world he had ever loved, more than his own life, more than anything and anyone.

-try to slowly breath, ok ? it won't be long. Everything will be ok.

Their eyes were locked to each other, and both nodded, and it was done. In less than one minute, Taehyung was in the box, laid on his side, legs on his chest, because he has these damn so longs legs Jungkook had ever seen, and of course they didn't fit in the shitty box ! Jungkook prayed all the Gods and Goddess he knew to keep his love safe while explaining how to breath in the tiny oxygen bottle with the little mask on his mouth. He was about to kiss Taehyung one last time when the intercom rang announcing the transporter was here yet. He looked at Taehyung and smiled while closing the box, whispering a soft "I love you" before locked it with a padlock. He put the key inside his pocket waiting for the men who would take Taehyung from him, lost in his thought as he felt a soft hand on his shoulder.

-don't worry, I swear everything will be fine, he will be fine.

Jungkook looked at his mother and for the first time since he was an innocent child who loved his mother than anything, he trusted her. He chose to trust her.
