Venomous Devotion 》TK

Chapter - 22

The snow was gently falling, blanketing the surroundings in a soft white glow. The cold breeze was sharp enough to make the tiny hairs on the skin stand on end. Jungkook pulled his sweaters tighter around his body, feeling a slight itch—likely from wearing a long dress with stones for the first time. He wasn’t used to it, every time he wore a dress with expensive stones, it felt like the whole world was conspiring against him. He could walk and move fine, but the fabric always made him itch!

The sensation was mild now, but even in this discomfort, he found something strangely peaceful about the cold weather. Jungkook stood on the small glass-covered terrace, gazing out. Since Taehyung wasn’t home, he took the chance to enjoy some time with nature. When Taehyung was around, Jungkook was too scared to even breathe freely in his presence. Could anyone live with this much fear? But he had to, for his family’s sake. One wrong move could bring a heavy burden upon them.

Taehyung entered into his room, his temper flaring when he didn’t see Jungkook around. But when he noticed the faint reflection of Jungkook on the small terrace, a smile tugged at the corner of his lips. He strode over there with large, deliberate steps. Jungkook still had his back turned, unaware of Taehyung’s presence. Before he could turn around, Taehyung swiftly wrapped his arms around him from behind. He locked both of Jungkook’s hands in his own from the front, pressing the other's hand firmly against his own stomach over the sweater, and buried his face in Jungkook’s neck. The sudden embrace startled Jungkook, and he shut his eyes tightly out of fear. Taehyung was holding him so tightly, it felt like Jungkook might disappear if he loosened his grip even slightly. Taehyung nuzzled his face into his neck, breathing deeply.

--" I love you so much, my little angel. You’re my addiction, my precious one. I find it hard to breathe without you. From now on, there will be no more distance between us. No matter what challenges arise, I will never let them reach you. Don’t worry, my love. I won’t show you the person I used to be. I’ll keep you close, wrapped up in this version of me forever. My possessiveness, my jealousy—they all revolve around my love for you. I can’t change that. I’ll be as ruthless as I need to be to protect you. Anyone who dares to hurt you, I’ll send them out of this world. But at the end of the day, you’ll always come back to me. You’ll love only me. That’s your fate.

Taehyung thought to himself as he continued to hold Jungkook tightly. He then gently moved Jungkook’s hair aside and pressed a soft kiss to his earlobe before whispering in his ear,

--" I’ve got a surprise for you, my angel.

Then he tied a blindfold over Jungkook’s eyes who panicked, suddenly plunged into darkness, unable to see anything. The fear gripped him, and just as the panic set in, he felt himself being lifted into the air—Taehyung had picked him up yet again.

--" Don’t be scared, my love. I’m right here with you.

Taehyung reassured him, kissing his forehead and carrying him forward. Jungkook clung to Taehyung’s shirt in fear, clutching it tightly as he nestled into Taehyung’s arms, terrified of falling.

Taehyung took Jungkook to the rooftop. The rooftop was incredibly beautiful, surrounded by glass barriers. It was decorated with numerous plants and vines. A variety of sofas were neatly arranged, and a few large round white lights, resembling umbrellas, were lit in the middle. The rooftop was unbelievably beautiful. From here, one could see the entire surrounding area and enjoy the scenic beauty. Taehyung had turned off the main lights and switched on soft lighting, creating a romantic atmosphere, much like a moonlit night. The cool, soft light added a sense of enchantment all around.

As Taehyung removed the blindfold from Jungkook’s eyes, he slowly opened his eyes. A look of awe appeared on his face as he took in the surroundings. The beauty of the environment around him was captivating. The rooftop was already magnificent, but Taehyung had further adorned it with various flowers and candles to surprise Jungkook who had never seen anything like this before. While Jungkook was busy admiring everything around him, Taehyung was focused on watching him only.
