Taehyung took a deep breath and stepped forward, his expression softening as he knelt down in front of Jungkook.
His knees hit the floor gently, but the weight of his actions felt heavier. He folded his hands together in a pleading gesture and looked up at Jungkook with wide, guilt-ridden eyes that shimmered with unshed tears. His voice was placed with sincerity and remorse.
"Koo," he began, his tone trembling, "forgive me. I'm so sorry for everything I did. I'm so guilty. I don't even know where to begin making it up to you." His voice cracked slightly, but he didn't waver, his gaze firmly locked on Jungkook's teary eyes.
Jungkook's eyes widened, his round, doe-like gaze filled with surprise and a hint of distress. Seeing Taehyung, his strong and confident Hyung, on his knees like this was something he never expected. "Hyungie, no!" Jungkook whispered, his voice shaking as he tried to tug at Taehyung's arms to make him stand. But Taehyung didn't budge, his hands remaining clasped tightly in front of him.
When Jungkook realized he couldn't move Taehyung, he sank to his knees as well, his smaller frame leaning into Taehyung as he wrapped his arms around him. The hug was tight, almost desperate, as if Jungkook feared letting go would shatter the moment.
"Hyungie," Jungkook whispered against Taehyung's shoulder, his voice muffled but still filled with emotion. "Everyone makes mistakes, but...but..I hope you don't repeat it again." His hands fidgeting slightly, tugging at Taehyung's shirt as he pulled back just enough to look into his Hyung's eyes.
"I promise," Jungkook continued, his voice small but resolute, "if you want to be cool, then we can be cool together hm. In a good way, yeah? I..I can even do parties with you! Maybe..maybe I'll stop playing barbie and iron man with you if that would help?" His eyes searched Taehyung's face nervously, his fingers twiddling together in his lap.
Taehyung's heart clenched at the sight of Jungkook's innocent, nervous gestures. Without a second thought, he cupped Jungkook's face gently in his hands, his thumbs brushing away the stray tears that lingered on his cheeks. A soft smile spread across Taehyung's face as he leaned in and peppered Jungkook's entire face with soft, affectionate kisses—his forehead, his cheeks, even the top of his nose.
"My pretty, sweet, baby koo," Taehyung murmured between kisses, his voice filled with adoration. "You don't have to stop anything. I love everything about you. I don't want to be cool anymore because..." He paused, pulling back slightly to meet Jungkook's gaze, his eyes filled with warmth. "Because I believe we'll eventually grow up and be cool in our own way. So let's just enjoy the present, hmm?" He nuzzled into Jungkook's neck, breathing in his familiar, comforting scent.
Jungkook's small hand came up to pay Taehyung's head softly, his fingers threading gently through the strands of Taehyung's hair. His touch was calming, a silent reassurance. "Does that mean," jungkook began, his voice tinged with hope, "you will spend time with me again? Like before? We'll play together? Study together? Hangout together?"
