THE LOVE OF MY LIFE

Chapter-30

Jungkook's POV

I was really to eager to meet Tae, since he told me that he would be arriving back by Monday I wanted to ask him and know if he got back safely.

I wanted to know if he was doing fine, I wanted to know if he missed me. I missed him alot though, once I go abroad for the campaign and ad shoot it's gonna take me atleast a month to return back and I'm gonna miss him more.

Since it's work oriented and a collaboration I won't be that free. Infact I would be hella busy and tired after all that work. And on top of all that the time difference, I didn't know how i would talk to him and spend time with him. But I knew one thing for sure, it was gonna be a tough ride.

Anyways I called him and he didn't answer my calls.
He would always answer my calls as quickly as possible but this time when he didn't answer my calls I was wondering what the reason could be.
I kept calling him multiple times and messaged him as well but i got no response.
By then I got a call from the company telling that the flight for me for New York was scheduled on this weekend and the return flight booking wasn't made because the information they received said that this campaign would take atleast 2 months.
So the company had decided to book the return flights once they got the confirmation.

I was beyond anxious right now, if I couldn't tell Tae now maybe I won't be able to tell him again. Maybe I wouldn't get an opportunity, so I called him again hoping he would pick up.

And he did, he answered my call.
But the reason for not answering my calls left me in worry. He was sick and was resting due to all the tablets he took.
I wanted to see him immediately, so I told him to stay at home and I told him that I would go to his place.
I didn't want to make him more tired.

Once I ended the call I quickly picked up the bike keys and my helmet and rode off.
On my way i picked up some lilies for him and bought some fresh fruit juices along with some porridge for him to eat.

I drove as fast I can and reached his apartment.
It took me about 15 minutes to come here but right now I was really nervous.
I am standing outside is apartment for quite a few minutes opposite to the fact that I rushed here.

I made up my mind and soon rang the bell waiting for him to open the door. But it was quite some time and I thought he must have gone back to sleep or could be using the bathroom or something so I thought of entering th passcode myself.
Yes I know the passcode of his door, the other day when I was here I saw him entering it. Somehow i never forgot it but hoping that he wouldn't have changed the passcode I decided to try my luck.
And luckily the door opened and i entered inside and then locked the door again and walked to his room.

I saw him there, laying down on the bed while he was holding a pillow so tightly with his cute little hands.
His open slightly open and breathing heavily.
I went closer and sat down facing him.
His hot breath falling on my hands, it was very hot.
Maybe he had a temperature, so I immediately placed the back of my hand on his forehead and checked the temperature. He was fine.
Then squished his cheeks which cause him to pout. He looked so adorable, I kept looking at him.
He suddenly blinked a few time and moved around.
And then opened his eyes, not fully it was half open while his hand was rubbing his eye.

He looked at me and was surprised. He immediately asked "How did you come inside ? Is someone home ? Did someone see you enter here? When did you come ? Why didn't you wake me up ?"

I chuckled, he looked so cute right now, like a puppy that was looking for its owner when some stranger went near it.

I slowly removed the hair from his forehead and tucked it behind his ear and said "Don't worry nobody is home and nobody saw me coming here as well. And about the door.... I saw you entering the passcode the other day so I came in.... By myself. And you were sleeping so prettily I didn't wanna wake you up, beautiful! "

He was surprised i could see and if I'm not wrong did he just blush?
I don't know his face looked pretty red even while he was asleep.
I assumed it was because he was sick.
But if a person is dehydrated they look pale right ? I simply shrugged off the thought.

Then I have him the flowers I got for him and he accepted them with a big smile plastered on his face.
Then I went to the kitchen and brought some plates and glasses then served him the food and juice, all of it while he was looking at me without blinking.

I just wanna hug him right now and tell him how much I love him and how much I missed him.
But I knew, this wasn't the time for that.
I was here to tell him something else, he could probably become sad or maybe not if he thought of me as not his mere friend but something more. He would feel happy for me as we are friends.
I don't know I didn't wanna assume stuff without him telling me. Even if it would be a no i wanted to hear it from him.

Then I told him slowly about my collaboration with Calvin Klein and he looked genuinely happy.
But when I told him about me being gone for about 2 months to New York his smile fell visibly.
His beautiful smile had now turned into a pout and his got eyes got glassy and teary.

He hugged me and we stayed like that for a while. But only then I heard him sniffle and those little sobs left his mouth.
I didn't wanna see him like that.

So I promised him that I would call him whenever I was free.
I would video call him before going to sleep and during my free breaks.
I also promised him that I would talk to him so regularly that he would feel like I never left.

But he never stopped crying, he hugged me tighter and his head was buried in my neck while his hands were around my shoulder pulling me closer to him.

We stayed like that for a while and then he said
" Congratulations for being the ambassador for that huge brand. All the best, do well.
Make me proud. I shouldn't have cried I'm sorry. It's just that..... I'll miss you alot. Like you would never imagine. I'm so happy for you.
Don't stress yourself and overwork, okay ? Rest is as important as work. So do it equally, prioritise rest as well. "

He didn't break away the hug and told me all of this while he still continues to hug me.
I pull him closer to me and then lay down on the bed beside him with him in my arms.
I slowly placed my head on head and pulled him closer.
Now his head was on my chest as he heard my heart beat and then went to sleep.
I slowly leaned down and kissed him on the forehead and remained like that for a while and then moved back to see him sleep.
Looking at him sleeping peacefully I also slept there with him with an unknown satisfaction.

It felt like home, there on his bed, with him in my arms sleeping so close to each other as our breath sounds filled the air in the room.

It felt soothing and nice.
It was something I was gonna cherish forever.

"Cuddling him"
