Veil of Shadows

Chapter 12: Unspoken Fears

The warm atmosphere between them lingered as they sat on the couch, snuggled closely. Jungkook had his arms around Taehyung, who rested his head on Jungkook's chest, listening to the steady rhythm of his heartbeat. It was peaceful, but Jungkook's thoughts were swirling, especially after hearing Taehyung confess his love. It felt surreal.

Jungkook couldn't stop his mind from wandering to something else, though. Something that had been on his mind ever since he realized his feelings for Taehyung.

After a few moments, Jungkook shifted slightly, his hand still holding Taehyung's. His heart raced as he gathered the courage to ask what had been on his mind. He wasn't sure how Taehyung would take it, but he couldn't hold it back anymore.

Jungkook (shyly, his voice hesitant): "T-Taehyung... can I ask you something?"

Taehyung lifted his head from Jungkook's chest, looking up at him with curious eyes. He saw the nervousness in Jungkook's expression and immediately felt a little anxious.

Taehyung (softly, stuttering): "Y-yeah, of c-course. What is it, J-Jungkook?"

Jungkook bit his lip for a moment, feeling a bit shy about the question. His cheeks tinted slightly pink, and he rubbed the back of his neck awkwardly.

Jungkook (nervously): "I was wondering... I mean... between the two of us... d-do you consider yourself more of a bottom or... a top?"

Taehyung's eyes widened in surprise, not expecting such a question. His face immediately turned red, and he looked away, biting his lip nervously. He hadn't expected this topic to come up so soon. His heart raced, not only because of the question but also because of the memories that were suddenly threatening to resurface-memories he didn't want to think about.

Taehyung (voice shaky, stuttering slightly): "I-I... w-well, I... I'm n-not sure...
........... I'm in t-top but sub-mit-ted" last line under breath that why kook didn't listen....

Jungkook noticed Taehyung's sudden shift in demeanor and the way his body tensed up. He frowned, gently reaching out to hold Taehyung's hand.

Jungkook (softly, concerned): "Hey, it's okay. You don't have to answer if you don't want to... I didn't mean to make you uncomfortable."

Taehyung looked down, trying to control his breathing as the unwanted memories of his past started to swirl in his mind. He wanted to answer Jungkook's question, but every time he tried to think about it, his mind dragged him back to the trauma he hadn't yet told Jungkook about.

Taehyung (softly, stuttering): "I-it's n-not that, Jungkook... I-I just... I d-don't know..."

His voice was shaking now, and Jungkook could sense that something was wrong. He immediately pulled Taehyung closer, wrapping his arms around him protectively.

Jungkook (softly, reassuring): "Tae, you don't have to tell me anything you're not ready to talk about. I just... I want you to feel comfortable with me, okay?"

Taehyung leaned into Jungkook's embrace, feeling his warmth and safety. He wanted to tell Jungkook everything, but the fear that gripped him every time he thought about his past was too much to handle right now. He swallowed hard, trying to push the memories away for now.

Taehyung (softly, trembling slightly): "I-I'm s-sorry, Jungkook... I just... I c-can't talk about it right now..."

Jungkook tightened his hold on Taehyung, pressing a gentle kiss to his temple.

Jungkook (whispering): "Don't apologize, Taehyung. I understand. Whenever you're ready, I'll be here. You don't have to say anything until you're comfortable. I'm not going anywhere."

Taehyung felt tears pricking at the corners of his eyes. He wasn't used to this level of kindness or patience, and it made his heart ache in a way he couldn't describe. He knew he would have to tell Jungkook about his past eventually, but for now, he was grateful that Jungkook didn't push him.

Taehyung (whispering, shakily): "T-thank you, Jungkook... for being patient with me..."

Jungkook smiled softly, holding Taehyung close to him.

Jungkook (whispering): "Always, Taehyung. You mean more to me than anything else. We can take this at your pace, okay?"

Taehyung nodded, feeling a sense of relief wash over him. He didn't have to face his demons right now, and that was enough. For now, he would just focus on the present, on the warmth and safety that Jungkook provided.

As they sat there, wrapped in each other's arms, Taehyung felt a glimmer of hope that maybe, just maybe, he could overcome the shadows of his past-with Jungkook by his side.
