Stuck With You [Taekook ff]

26 | Cut With a Knife

∗⋅◈⋅∗

The next day, the couple was summoned to Taehyung's parents' house for dinner. Tailor had called his mother upset about his relationship with Jungkook.

"I think you've created an enemy in Tailor, Jungkook," Taehyung stated as they were both in the master bathroom styling their hair and adding moisturizer to their faces.

"I don't give a shit. Let her hate me. I didn't like the way she disrespected you in your home, telling you that no one wanted you." Jungkook huffed. "She's out of her damn mind. It's like she's never even seen you before. You're fucking gorgeous."

Taehyung smiled, shyly. He wasn't used to getting compliments.

Jungkook continued as they both left the bathroom. "You should see the way people on your job look at you when you walk through the common area and then off the elevator to your office. Everyone thinks you're hot."

"Ok now you're exaggerating a bit," Taehyung said with a light chortle.

"I'm so not." Jungkook got closer and kissed him on the cheek. "And after all you've done and are currently doing for me, I owe you more than just to defend you against the likes of Tailor." Jungkook looked him deep into his eyes. "I'd do anything for you."

Taehyung cleared his throat. He felt a lump in it. After swallowing air, he said, "Same."

They simply stood in front of each other, looking into each other's eyes. Jungkook's heart swelled at the way Taehyung landed his almond shaped brown eyes onto his. It was like they were reading each other's thoughts, soul, making confessions and making vows with their eyes. It was then that Jungkook knew that he was catching feelings for Taehyung. But he didn't dare tell him that. It was much too soon.

Taehyung broke their intimate gazing. "There is one thing you lied about though."

Jungkook looked confused. "About what?"

"You lied to Tailor when you told her you were my boyfriend."

"I just made it up to piss her off. Sorry for the lie." Jungkook huffed just thinking of her arrogance.

"Oh I loved it. I felt things when you said you were my boyfriend. But actually, I'm more than that. I'm your husband." Taehyung smiled.

"Damn, I did lie!" Jungkook chuckled. "But her narcissistic brain wouldn't have been able to handle the truth."

"True." Taehyung reached for his hand as they made it to the living area. "Shall we go?"

"Hey, son! You two, come on in!" Taehyung's dad answered the door. Wonsik patted his son on his shoulder and reached to shake Jungkook's hand. "Hello, I'm Wonsik."

Jungkook shook his hand. "Nice to meet you Mr. Kim. I'm Jungkook."

"Oh, please call me Wonsik. And thanks for joining us for dinner. Now anything that my wife does that's crazy, trust me it's all on her. I have nothing to do with it." He laughed nervously, gauging Taehyung's response.

"If things get too crazy, we're leaving," Taehyung told his dad as they were walking towards the sitting area.

"Well son, welcome to the crazy." Wonsik threw his hands in the air, shaking his head.

Taehyung was pissed when he saw who was also invited to dinner. Tailor was sitting on one of the sectionals with his mother, drinking wine and yapping it up.

"What the hell, mom! You said this was a private dinner." Taehyung's nose flared and he was turning red. Jungkook grabbed his hand to get Taehyung to calm down. It didn't work.
