Love Me Again |TAEKOOK|

｡˚ 26 ˚｡

After a few more minutes, Mr. Kim and Bogum left. It was Tae who pushed them out of her building, saying she could manage.

And when she came in after locking the door and sat on the couch, her mind went blank.

Because she knew the meaning of the name he had just called her a few minutes ago.

It was everything she ever needed.

Past:

5 Years Back:

The soft glow of candlelight flickered in the bedroom while Taekook cuddled each other after their lovemaking session.

Tae was against Kook's chest, her fingers tracing lazy patterns on his shoulder.

His warmth,
His scent,
The steady beat of his heart against her cheek.

It was her home.

Kook's hands were wrapped around her waist, pulling her as close as he could, playing with her hair.

Her presence,
Her comfort,
Her touch.

It was his home.

They completed each other and called it their 'HOME.'

Tae: "Call me that again."
She whispered, her voice barely audible against his chest.

Kook, who had been twirling a strand of her hair around his finger, paused for a second before continuing.

Kook: "Call you what, baby?"
He asked.

She shifted slightly, resting her chin on his chest, looking into his eyes that always managed to take his breath away.

Tae: "Mi amor."
She whispers as if she wants to carve his voice into her soul when he calls her that.

Kook smiled at her, showing his bunny teeth.

The nickname.

The one he only used in the most fragile, most sacred moments.

That name was not just a nickname. It was a promise.

Kook: "You love it that much?"
He asked, slightly pressing his lips against her forehead.

She nodded before speaking, her fingers now resting on his chest.

Tae: "Because when you say it, it feels so magical, like I just want to drown in you.
It makes me feel like I belong to you.
Like I'm yours."
She said, looking at him, his eyes turning soft.

Kook cupped her face with one hand, his thumb softly caressing her lower lip, both of them smiling at each other.

Kook: "I'm yours, love."
His voice was soft.

Kook: "But that name... it's not just something I can say all the time."
He said, bopping their noses.

Tae: "Why?"
She asked him.

Kook: "Because it's special, cupcake."
He said with a smile.

Tae pouted, and Kook couldn't help but chuckle, pulling her close and pecking her lips.

Kook: "If I say it too often, it'll lose its magic, bear."
He murmured.

Tae: "It won't, Koo. As long as it comes from you."
She said, showing her boxy smile.

Kook: "Let's say it's the name I call you when my heart can't hold it in anymore.
When I need you to know that I am yours, and will always be yours.
When I love you so much it hurts.
When I can't form words to describe how I feel."

Tae just looked at him with teary eyes.

Kook: "I call you 'baby,' 'love,' 'sweetheart' because you're all of those things to me."
He continued, pressing his lips against her tears, his smile radiating love, care, affection, trust.

Kook: "But mi amor? That's different."
He leaned back slightly, his dark eyes locking onto hers.

Kook: "I only say it when I need you to know, without a single doubt, that you are the only one for me."

The way he spoke made Tae's heart clench, as if someone was squeezing it.

Without holding back, she pressed her lips against his lips, already swollen from earlier.
They moved in perfect sync, the kiss pure adoration, love, and affection.
Desperate.
Slow.
Full of everything words could never convey.

Kook responded with every ounce of love, the way his lips moved against hers, the way his hands held her as if she was something so fragile, so precious.

When they finally pulled apart, she buried her face in his chest, her smile pressed against his skin.

Tae: "Say it again."
She whispered.

He wrapped his arms around her tightly, holding her so close there wasn't a single space between them.

Kook: "Mi amor."
He said against her hair, before pressing a soft kiss to her head.

And just like that, she melted in his arms.

Like always.

Tell me how it was...

Stay tuned 😁😁.
