THE LOVE OF MY LIFE

Chapter-31

Taehyung's POV

When Jungkook came home to see me once he got to know I was sick my heart fluttered.
To see him looking at me while I was asleep, to have him get me beautiful lilies, his concern for getting me some juices and food everything made my heart skip a beat.

It was all like a dream to me, spending time with him eating with him and talking with.
When he told me that he was chosen as the ambassador for Calvin Klein I was beyond happy. I was happy thinking about him going global.
But then it didn't last long, when he told me that he would have to go to New York for the ad-shoot and promotions I felt sad thinking about the times we could get separated from each other.
But then it was for his good, and if he was happy I was supposed to be happy as well.
I didn't want to stop him from going or anything it was just the momentary sadness that took over and I cried.
We just became friends and got alot closer but now if he would go away then the way our relationship would turn was unknown.
I didn't want to stay away from him, but I couldn't take the thought of being separated.

Now even though we are away from each other we meet once in a week or something like that but if he went away like that that wouldn't be possible.

So I cried, I hugged him tight and cried on his shoulder.
I don't know how he thought of me when I cried but I know, I was gonna miss him for sure.

I cried harder and held him tighter.
Initially he didn't hug me back or hold me but once he heard me cry he held onto me stronger than I could. He rested his head over mine and rubbed my back continuously consoling me.

Later I thought I had to explain to him why I started crying unexpectedly and then told him all of my worries.
He held on to me tighter and promised me.

Not one but many, he promised to video call me talk to me and spend time with me whenever he would be free.
He promised to never let go of me, he comforted me.
Then he pulled me closer to him and laid down on the bed.
I snuggled into his chest and slept off while listening to his heart beat which calmed me.

We stayed like that the whole afternoon and I woke up around evening.
This time he had snuggled up into my chest and was breathing slowly.
His breath falling directly over my skin passing through the space between the buttons of my shirt.

I shuddered when I felt his breath on my chest but continued to look at him.
Then I ruffled his hair and stared at his face trying to capture this beautiful memory in my head.

I kept looking at him and didn't know how much time passed and I kissed the top of head lightly and continued to stare at him.
God knows for how long I stared at him that I fell asleep, again.
This time I held onto him tighter and pushed himself closer to my chest and he snuggled up closer as well. It felt like the pieces of a jigsaw puzzle coming together and fitting perfectly, i felt thousands of butterflies in my stomach.
We slept like that again.

I had to wake up because I felt someone tapping on my shoulder then my cheeks while I heard I sweet voice saying "Tae get up !! It's almost 9 in the night. We should have dinner."

I slowly turned around and said "Kookie ? 5 more minutes..... Please "
I was pouting and motioning him to cuddle me.

He smiled cutely and said "Only 5 minutes, okay ? Then we'll go have dinner."
I just nodded continuously and hugged him subconsciously.

After 10 minutes he woke me up and asked me to drink some water.
After a while he asked me to go freshen up and come and he also told that he would be taking me out for dinner.

I was squealing around like a teenager.

I went to the washroom and then wash my face and stayed there for a while and calmed myself and then came out and asked him to use the washroom and I told "Kookie you can use the washroom and come down I'll go drink some water and watch TV"

He nodded his head and walked towards the washroom and locked the door.

Then I went down the stairs and saw Hyungsik sitting on the couch while he looked pretty confused and was checking his phone continuously.

I walked to him and put a hand on his shoulder and asked " Hey hyungie what happened?? All okay ?"

He immediately looked at me with wide eyes and showed me a picture.

I saw that and the words i wanted to tell got stuck in my throat. It was a picture of me and Jungkook cuddling in the evening.
Jungkook's face wasn't seen cuz his head was in my chest and my hands were around him. But it was really clear that it was some guy, and we were cuddling each other.

He said "Tae who is that ? You like him ? Who is he Tae?"

I just stood there and then gulped down my saliva and said "I like him okay more like love but I don't know if it's mutual and i think it's okay if he doesn't reciprocate my feelings. He's just... He has alot of work and..... He came today cuz I told him I was tired and dehydrated due to all the vomiting.... And he is leaving to New York soon.... He'll be back soon but he came here to talk to me about that..... And .......now we are going out for dinner...."

" Tae.... It's good to know that you are in love... With someone.... But is he good ? I don't want to see you hurt ? Can I talk to him now ? Do I know him ? Who is he ?" Hyungsik replied sound really concerned for me.

I said " Yes hyungie..... You know him.....but not personally. He really really good..... And he'll never hurt me... Never. I wanted to tell you but..... I wanted some time.... Sorry. You can meet him now but promise me.... You won't ask him anything or you won't react much. You should stay calm and composed and don't get scared or don't scare him, okay ?"

Hyungsik gave a 'are-you-serious' kinda look and said " Sure thing I'll be calm and won't ask anything. I'll just greet him and then you guys can go out for dinner okay ? And according to you he isn't your boyfriend yet right ?"

" Hyungie.... He isn't my boyfriend or something. Friends just for now I guess I don't know. But please don't lose your cool." I said looking at him and then upstairs.

He said " Ok ok I won't do anything go bring him first. It's pretty late and you said you're going out for dinner also right ? "

" Yes hyung and also I'll explain everything to you once I return okay, please understand. I'll go get him now."
After saying this I went upstairs and saw Jungkook picking up his phone and bike keys as he was ready to come down the stairs soon.

I stopped him and said " Kookie ? The other day during fan sign you saw my best friend right ?he saw us cuddling and asked me about you. I didn't tell him it was you cuz your face wasn't seen clearly in the picture but if you don't wanna meet him it's ok it's totally fine."

Immediately he came to me and held my shoulders and said "Tae it's not an issue at all some day or the other I should have met your friends and told them about us. Don't worry that that day is today. It's fine, so we'll go ?"

I walked toward and led him to the place where Hyungsik was.
Jungkook followed and bowed and said Hello to Hyungsik once he saw him.

While Hyungsik was beyond shocked to see the youngest member of BTS in his best friends house, as the potential future boyfriend of Taehyung. He couldn't utter a single word.

He was stunned would be an understatement!!!
