|| NIGHT COURT || TAEKOOK||

29

It's a double update... don't miss the previous chapter

A strangled sob escaped Taehyung as he stopped at the entrance of the courtroom....his vision blurred with tears when he saw Jungkook standing in the middle of the hall

' Koo'

Jungkook turned around at the voice...his chest aching at the sight of the wobbly lips and red swollen eyes....He smiled softly....taking a step forward and holding his hand out for the elder to run in which Taehyung gladly did... wrapping his arms around Jungkook's neck hiding himself in Jungkook's chest

' Am sorry' Taehyung sobbed hard ' A-am so sorry Koo....I didn't-didn't want to hide an-anything from you'

' Tae-'

' Am sorry'

' I knew' Jungkook sighed

' You knew?' Taehyung pulled back slightly...his cries never stopping

Jungkook felt like killing himself seeing how broken Taehyung looked...' Come with me' He said pulling the boy with him towards the couch.. sitting down on it before making Taehyung sit on his lap

' You don't have to apologize Tae' Jungkook pecked his  forehead before wiping off his tears ' I knew about you'

' H-how?' Taehyung looked like a lost puppy making Jungkook's heart melt into a puddle

' I think I should remind you that I am a Sorcerer Prince...' Jungkook smiled

' So?' Taehyung blinked puzzled

' Magic runs in my veins ' Jungkook shrugged ' How did you think that I won't recognize anything that's magical around me...and that too someone as precious and divine as a moon dancer? I have seen the way your skin glows every time you get under the twilight on a full moon night....I...I saw you that night when you told me that you were out getting some fresh air... I saw how magnificent you looked'

' Why didn't you ask me? You knew I was lying' Taehyung looked guilty

' I wanted you to trust me enough to share such a big truth-'

' I do trust you'

' I know' Jungkook smiled ' But sharing something this big...it is different Tae...and I can understand why you didn't tell me' Jungkook caressed his cheeks ' I was just angry at what Jin hyung did...it was not his place to tell me about you being a moon dancer'

' Hyung hates me now' Taehyung chuckled dryly ' He always got in trouble because of me...'

' He doesn't hate you' Jungkook shook his head ' He is your brother..I have seen how much he loves you'

' I was always an outcast Jungkookie...my azure hair and my not so manly body... everything made me a laughingstock of whichever place we went to....and Jin hyung had to face all that too just because he waa supposed to be there for me.. protecting me... Before appa died he took us to my eomma's village.....which was actually home to many moon dancers once... People got to know how my eomma was the great granddaughter of the head moon dancer and they made appa the chief of the village..and when he died they wanted Jin hyung to take his place...but hyung wanted to come back to Astraxus...wanted to keep the promise he made to his love....and I supported him with my whole heart... He told them that he had some duties to fulfill and left me with our so called family... But it was only after he left that I understood that behind the pretentious mask of a loving family hid the greedy and power hungry monsters... They wanted me to perform for the next full moon and when I refused they locked me up'

Jungkook's jaw clenched when he heard that as Taehyung continued ' I wrote to Jin hyung....got it delivered to him with the help of someone whom I trusted.. asking him to come save me from there... I waited for him for a week....but no one came'
