Fated hearts ( taekook ff )

chapter 45

Taehyung: (smiling) "Just wait a second. I have something for you."

Taehyung reaches into his pocket and pulls out a small key, holding it up for Jungkook to see.

Jungkook: (confused) "What's that? Is this part of the surprise?"

Taehyung: (grinning, handing the key to Jungkook) "It's not just part of the surprise, Jungkook. This is the surprise."

Jungkook:"Wait... you're giving me a key? What's this for?"

Taehyung: "It's the key to our new home. This house—it's ours."

Jungkook: (stunned) "Our... our house? are you serious?

Taehyung: (voice softening) "Yeah, I'm serious. I've been working hard to make this happen, so we could have a place of our own. No more hospitals, no more staying at Jimin's. Just us, in our own home."

Jungkook: (overwhelmed) "Taehyung... I don't know what to say..."

Taehyung:"You don't have to say anything. This is our fresh start, Jungkook. A place where we can just be us, without any worries."

Jungkook: (tears falling) "I can't believe you did this... I love it so much."

Taehyung:"I love you, Jungkook. I wanted to give you a place where you'd feel safe and happy. Welcome home."

Jungkook:"Home... I like the sound of that."

Taehyung:"Come on, let's go inside.

Jungkook:"I can't wait."

Taehyung: (smiling) "Namjoon hyung is calling. You go ahead and take a look inside. I'll catch up in a second."

Jungkook: (nodding) "Okay, don't take too long!"

Taehyung:"Hello, hyung."

Namjoon: (annoyed) "Where are you? You left without saying anything!"

Taehyung: (teasingly) "Hyung, you seemed a little... occupied."

Namjoon: (confused) "Occupied? When? Where?"

Taehyung: (playful) "In Jin hyung's office, remember?"

Namjoon:"Uh... that... yeah, that."

Taehyung: (laughing) "Don't worry, hyung.I'm sending you location.come over"

Namjoon:"Alright, alright."

Taehyung:"See you soon, hyung."

Taehyung steps inside the house, feeling a sense of accomplishment as he takes in the cozy living room. He walks over to the couch and sinks into it, finally allowing himself a moment of relaxation. A few seconds later, Jungkook, unable to contain his excitement, comes over and plops himself down on Taehyung's lap.

surprised but smiling, taehyung wraps his arms around Jungkook

Taehyung:"Comfortable, are we?"

jungkook grinning, nuzzling into Taehyung's neck as he starts playing with the buttons on Taehyung's shirt

Jungkook: (pouting) "Tae... I've been thinking."

Taehyung: "Oh? What about?"

jungkook glancing up at Taehyung with wide, innocent eyes

Jungkook:"I was thinking... maybe I should start working too. You know, help out a little bit."

Taehyung:"Oh? And what brought this on?"

Jungkook: (smiling sweetly) "Well... I just want to take some of the load off your shoulders. You've done so much for us already. And besides, it's only fair that I contribute, right?"

Taehyung: (playful) "Hmm... and this sudden burst of responsibility has nothing to do with the fact that you're sitting on my lap, trying to butter me up?"

Jungkook: (giggling) "Maybe just a little..." 

Taehyung:"You're too cute for your own good, you know that?"

Jungkook:"Does that mean you'll let me work?"

Taehyung: "No, Jungkook. You need to focus on your studies. That's the most important thing right now."

Jungkook:"But how can I focus on studying when you're out there working all the time? It's not fair for you to sacrifice everything for me. What about your own dreams? Your future?"

Taehyung:"Jungkook, listen to me. I never wanted to study. All of that was because of my father's pressure. He had this idea of what my life should be, and I just went along with it. But now... I'm free from all of that.I was never interested in those studies or the career he mapped out for me. It was his dream, not mine."

Jungkook:"But that doesn't mean you should give up on everything! You should have your own dreams, your own goals."

Taehyung: (smiling softly) "I do have my own goals. And right now, my goal is to build a life where you and I can be happy, without any more pressure or expectations from anyone else. I want you to have the freedom to study what you love, to pursue your own dreams without any worries."

Jungkook:"Taehyung... there's something I need to tell you.(biting his lip) "I'm not really interested in studying either."

Taehyung: "You're not?"

Jungkook:"No... I've been trying to focus on it because I thought it was what I was supposed to do, what everyone expected of me. But... it's not what I want."

Taehyung: (gently) "Then what do you want, Jungkook? What's your dream?"

Jungkook: "i want to be idol. I've always loved singing, dancing... performing. Whenever I see idols on stage, I feel like that's where I'm meant to be. I want to make people happy with my music, to inspire them... just like those idols inspired me."

Taehyung: (beaming with pride) "Jungkook, that's amazing. I want you to chase your dreams, just like I'm finding mine.I believe in you, Jungkook

Jungkook: (softly, with a smile) "Thank you, hyung."

Taehyung:"Hey, don't 'hyung' me. You know what it does to me... I can't control myself when you do."

jungkook leans in closer, wrapping his arms around Taehyung's neck, whispering in his ear with a mischievous tone

Jungkook:"Then don't control yourself."
