Chapter nineteen: a new start?

Hey guys! I'm really sorry about my lazy writing these days, but here's another update! I'll keep up with the updates now .xx

As Jungkook made his way to bed, Taehyung was already lying there, but he could tell he wasn't asleep yet either. The black haired male crept under the duvet beside his husband and tried to close the space between them and he laid an hand over him. Surprisingly, Taehyung was completely still, neither accepting it nor struggling against him. "Was it nice seeing your brother again today? I know you've wanted to see him since the accident", Jungkook softly spoke.

Taehyung snorted. "Well, I really can't technically see, now can I?"

Jungkook sighed in response. "You know what I mean."

Taehyung seemed to debating with himself to keep the conversation going or just let it fade. "Yeah," he whispered, barely audible. He waited for a moment before he continued. "It was...nice to see him," he said, "although he can be a pain in the ass."

Jungkook chuckled softly. "Yeah, he really grabs every opportunity he gets to bully us," he laughed.

"But he gets mad when we bully him," the elder said with a smile.

The boys continued to laugh and talk to each other, something that really made them happy. Jungkook was grinning from ear to ear as he thought how nice this was. Taehyung also had this soft smile on his face; he had almost forgotten how nice it was to be completely happy for a moment and just spend time with his precious family.

"Goodnight hyung," Jungkook whispered, nearly falling asleep as his face was hidden in Taehyung's hair.

"Goodnight Jungkookie."  

The sunlight was burning on the younger male's face as it woke him up. When his eyes barely opened, he noticed he was still really close to the other. His arms were still wrapped around the elder, and his legs had found their ways around him as well. Smiling, he tried to quietly get himself out of his husband's grip and not waking him up.

The moment as he was finally up and got dressed, he remembered what Baekhyun had told him; he leaned over the still sleeping being as he gently shook him. "Taehyungie, wake up," Jungkook called softly, "we need to make breakfast."

Taehyung groaned in response. "No."

Jungkook rolled his eyes. "I'm not asking," he sassed, "so there's no use saying no." This time, the masculine male decided to force the other out of bed by removing the duvet and pick him up bride style.

Taehyung's eyes went wide and tried searching for the other. "Jungkook!" he yelled whilst struggling against, but with no luck. "What are you doing! Put me down!"

Jungkook giggled at his cute behaviour. "Then you should've listened to me hyung," he said with a smirk following along. As he carried his love to the kitchen, he sat him gently down on a chair. "There you go," he smiled, "now I sat you down." Taehyung went silent again as he grumpily held his head down. "Come on hyung," the younger whined, "don't be like that. You're just ruining things for yourself, and us."

Taehyung rose up his head to glare at him. "I'm ruining things? Please remind me of what the fuck I've done," he spat with furred eyebrows, already looking angry.

Jungkook took a deep breath. Prepare yourself Jungkook. "What haven't you done?" he started, "everything you've done lately is to coldly shut me down and ignore me. You've treated me badly, even though we're married!" He stopped to take a pause after seeing how silent the elder turned. He was glad he wasn't interrupting or trying to flee the scene. "But I'm also at fault," he admitted, which caught his husband's attention, "I thought I had to do everything because of your sight. I thought I was responsible to do everything for you, but I didn't realise how much I was actually taking things from you. I haven't considered how you're feeling and how you want less things as possible to change." The black haired male squatted down to match his height with the elder's. "I'm sorry Taehyungie," he apologised sincerely, "I didn't realise how much I changed because of this, but I am aware of it now, and I definitely won't let it happen again. I'm just as much to fault here, but I'll change. I'll go back to how I was, and how I was treating you," he paused for a second, "but I hope you're also willing to go back to the old lovingly Taehyung hyung I love so much."

The elder male had teared up, and so was the talking boy. "Jungkookie..." he barely managed to whisper. He choked back on his tears as he tried to get himself together.

"Promise me you'll try," Jungkook begged desperately.

He sniffed his snot. "I...I'll try."

Jungkook smiled satisfied as he gently reached for his hair as he stroke it gently and leaned in to kiss him on the forehead. "Well then, let's make breakfast!" he yelled happily, trying to change the gloomy atmosphere into a happy one, as he dragged the elder on his feet and dragged him with him towards the fridge and started on their breakfast they'd be making for the first time in a long time.

During the day, Jimin had called Jungkook for a chat. He told him he wanted everyone to gather together to finally spend some time, since the last time they all were gathered was at school. Jungkook, however, felt unsure. "You okay with that Jimin?" he asked hesitantly. "I mean, you want everyone?"

"What?" he asked. "Can't you drag Taehyungie along with you?"

Jungkook sighed. "Taehyung hyung is not the problem," he said, "I was thinking of..."

"Yoongi hyung?" Jimin finished for him.

"Yeah."

"Honestly, I would just want the tension between us all to disappear. He has to learn that we broke up and gone our different ways. We share friends, and just because it's awkward between the two of us, it shouldn't go out on our friends," he spoke his thoughts. Jungkook wasn't too sure though. He could tell Yoongi had a hard time lately, especially around Jimin.

"We'll see what the other's will say," Jungkook suggested, which Jimin agreed to. They said goodbye, and Taehyung who was sitting beside Jungkook was a book in his hand turned towards Jimin.

"He wants to gather everyone?" he asked.

"Yeah," he replied. Would that go smoothly as he thought?
