Love Like This ( Taegi x Yoonmin)

Chapter 36: Never Let You Go

It was Taehyung who gently broke the embrace, his fingers lingering on Yoongi's arms as if reluctant to let go completely. He stared at Yoongi's face for long, silent seconds, his eyes tracing every curve and freckle as if he were trying to memorize the beloved features of the love of his life. Yoongi, his own eyes glistening with unshed tears, watched the younger man with a thousand emotions swirling in the depths of his dark brown orbs.

"Please don't ever become anyone else's hyung," Taehyung whispered, his voice a soft plea as he leaned in to press his forehead against Yoongi's. The contact was intimate, a silent vow shared between them.

"I'm so tired of letting you be hurt, so tired of watching you with someone who isn't me,"

Taehyung continued, his voice trembling with emotion. He leaned forward and placed a feather-light kiss on Yoongi's lips, sending an electrifying shiver down Yoongi's spine. Yoongi's eyes fluttered closed, the touch both tender and intense.

"I'm the one who was born to love you. Aren't you all I have?"

Taehyung asked, his voice vulnerable and filled with raw honesty. He nestled his head against the nape of Yoongi's neck, seeking the warmth and comfort that only Yoongi could provide. His breath was warm against Yoongi's skin, a reminder of the life and love they shared.

Yoongi wrapped his arms around Taehyung, holding him close, his heart swelling with an overwhelming mixture of love and protectiveness.

"And you're all I have, Tae," Yoongi murmured into Taehyung's hair softly.

"You're the only one I want to be with, you might be not my 1st love, but I swear Tae, you're going to be the last and only love of my life when my breath decides to stop."

Yoongi sniffled. Taehyung pressed a lingering kiss on his hair.

"But Taehyungie, is hyung good enough for you?" Yoongi's teary eyes met with the younger's curious ones.

"What are you talking about Yoongi?" Taehyung's voice filled with bewilderment, Yoongi's sudden question didn't make any sense to him.

Yoongi took a deep breath, feeling the weight of his insecurities pressing down on him.

"You know about my past with Jimin, how his indifference and his love for Jungkook left me shattered. How I was lost between having it all and giving it up all. How I almost died with the overwhelming devastation I experienced... Even though you were abroad for those six years, you know how much it broke me. It's left me feeling... unworthy."

Tears welled up in Yoongi's eyes, the raw pain of those memories still fresh.

"For a long time, I felt like I wasn't good enough like I was unlovable. Jimin's actions made me question my worth and my self-respect. I don't want to blame him for my emotional baggage but-...but he made me fall Taehyungie... He made me believe I was the best thing that had happened to him...I've damaged myself beyond repair Taehyngie... I've been carrying that weight, that sense of inadequacy, and it's hard to shake."

He paused, his voice trembling with vulnerability. "You're so precious, Taehyung. You deserve someone whole, someone who isn't weighed down by the past. I'm scared, so scared that I'll never be enough for you. That I'll only end up hurting you."

Yoongi's tears began to fall, his emotions spilling over. There was a moment of silence, only their faint sniffles were heard. After feeling like ages, Yoongi slowly spoke again.

"Are you sure, Taehyung? Are you sure you want me, someone so broken, to share your life with, to share your dreams with? I need to know, because I feel like I'm going to love you so much, but I'm terrified of failing. I need you to tell me that you're sure."

Taehyung's heart ached at the sight of Yoongi's pain, and he cupped Yoongi's face in his hands, wiping away his tears with gentle fingers. He placed a lingering kiss on the elder's forehead.

"Yoongi, I'm more than sure. I've seen your pain, and I've seen your strength. You're not broken to me. You're beautiful, inside and out. You've been through so much, and you've come out the other side with a heart still capable of love. That's more than enough."

He leaned in, pressing his forehead against Yoongi's, their breaths mingling. "I don't want someone perfect, Yoongi. I want you, with all your scars and fears. I love you for who you are, not despite it. You are my strength, my heart. I am sure, Yoongi. I've never been more sure of anything in my life."

Yoongi's tears continued to fall, but now they were mingled with a sense of relief and hope. Taehyung's words wrapped around his heart, soothing the wounds left by years of insecurity.

He hugged Taehyung tightly, finding solace in the certainty of Taehyung's love. In that moment, the fears that had once seemed insurmountable began to fade, replaced by the enduring promise of their shared future.

"I've been carrying this pain and insecurity for so long. I've been so afraid of being hurt again, so afraid of not being enough. But you... you make me believe that maybe, just maybe, I can learn to love again."

He paused, his eyes glistening with unshed tears.

"I need you to know how much you mean to me. I want to start over, to build something new with you. But I'm scared, Tae. I'm scared of falling, of failing. I don't know how to do this on my own."

Yoongi's voice cracked as he continued, his emotions pouring out.

"I'm asking you for a chance, Taehyung. A chance to learn to love you the way you deserve. I need you to teach me how to love again, to help me find my way out of this darkness. Please, catch me when I fall, because I won't survive another heartbreak like this. Not again."

He clung to Taehyung, his tears finally spilling over. "I need you, Tae. I need your strength, your patience, your love. Without you, I'm lost. But with you, I believe I can be whole again. Please, give me this chance. Let's start over together. Let's build a future where we both can heal and find happiness."

Taehyung's own tears mingled with Yoongi's, their shared pain and hope to create a profound connection between them. He held Yoongi tightly, his heart swelling with love and determination.

"We'll do this together, Yoongi. I'll catch you every time you fall. I promise."

"I'd rewrite the stars for Yoongi, Just let me love you kitten.."

Taehyung muttered softly, Catching Yoongi's lips for a fierce yet passionate kiss, Proving to him that he didn't want anybody but Yoongi.

They stayed like that, wrapped in each other's arms, The room seemed to fade away, leaving just the two of them in their own world, where nothing else mattered but the bond they shared and the future they would build together.
