New Horizons

part 31

When Jungkook knocks on taehyung's room it's dinner time. But none of them have the appetite to eat even though delicious aromas of foods are spreading all over the mansion from the kitchen.

Taehyung doesn't reply or opens the door for the first two knocks. So Jungkook thinks if he doesn't take steps on his own then maybe he will have to stand here all night and still tae wouldn't open the door. So instead of knocking he directly turns the knob of the door right side and the door gets open. He sighs in relief, thanking taehyung in mind for not locking the door from inside.

Jungkook widens open the door more and peeks inside, he spots a lying figure on the bed. He silently enters inside and locks the door. Then he takes small steps toward the bed trying not to make any sound.

He checks taehyung's figure standing beside the bed, tae has his eyes closed and is breathing steadily. Is he sleeping? Jungkook climbs on to the bed where he used to sleep before. Taehyung still sleeps at one side of the bed keeping the other half empty where he used to sleep.

Climbing onto the bed Jungkook positions himself beside taehyung and touches his left arm softly.

Feeling the bed dip beside him taehyung opens his eyes immediately. Then he feels a hand touching his arm. Taehyung knows who it is.

He turns his head toward Jungkook and sits up immediately seeing the man beside him, looking at him with red but soft eyes. Did he cry? Taehyung thinks. Or else why are his eyes red and swollen?

Taehyung doesn't voice out his thoughts and keeps staring at jungkook. Jungkook also stares back at him while his hands touch taehyung's palms.

"Why are you here?" Taehyung asks.

Jungkook stares at him for a few seconds more before answering. "To talk actually."

"Is there any room for us to talk? Your wife is here, you should go to her-"

"She isn't my wife anymore. You are." Jungkook cuts off taehyung.

"Whatever she is. Go to her and fix your family first. I'm tired. I really don't have any energy to deal with all of this. I'll leave tomorrow morning. You can settle down with them by that time." Taehyung's voice sounds unusually calm.

"There's nothing to fix with her taehyung. She isn't my family. You are my family so I need to fix things with you now." Jungkook says softly caressing taehyung's both palms with his rough hands.

Taehyung suddenly feels weird inside his heart, his heart beat goes up suddenly. Still he keeps his posture calm and says, "I don't think there's anything to fix between us after what happened today."

"Tae..." Jungkook whispers and moves closer to taehyung, so close that taehyung starts feeling nervous. Am I really feeling nervous in front of my almost one year of husband? Taehyung can't help but think. He looks down on nervousness.

"Sunmi left." Jungkook voices out and taehyung shoots his eyes at jungkook. "And She will  never come here." Jungkook adds. Before coming to taehyung he made sure sunmi left after talking with their children and never came here.

"Why did she leave? Didn't your children want you two together?" Taehyung asks looking away.

"Why would I go back to her when I ended my chapter with her almost 7 years ago. I'm really not fond of looking through my past." Jungkook answers.

"Surprising since you listen to your children always."

"Yeah I do. But everything should have a limit. Whatever they were pressuring for me was impossible and I made it clear today. Neither I'm getting back with her nor I'm leaving you."
