Chapter sixteen: how was your first time?

❀~~~~❀~~~~❀~~~~❀

Ⓙungkook stayed with Taehyung for the rest of the weekend to keep him company. He also visited his mother as Jungkook had to work on Saturday evening, and that's when the blond male decided to visit his last family member he had left; he also felt guilty for not having visited her in a while as he's been quite distracted lately, but he didn't want to make excuses. He did in all honesty forget about her for a couple of days, and he felt bad when he was standing over her bed, looking at her beautiful peaceful sleeping face... If only she'd wake up soon, Taehyung thought. He'd be really truly happy if she woke up. He missed hearing her voice - her voice that wasn't just heard over videos or records, but actually her real life voice. He missed hugging her when she'd hug him back. He missed having a conversation with her, or just looking at her eyes when they were open.

Just the sight of her made him tear up, but he had cried so much yesterday he felt like he was empty with tears by now. 

For the rest of the weekend, the two males spent more time together as usual. Jungkook just told his family he'd be staying out with him and they allowed it, although Taehyung was sure he hadn't told them they were more than just friends, or they probably would've reconsidered it, but if Jungkook didn't want to tell them yet, he obviously didn't have to. Not if it meant the chances of him not being allowed to be with him shrank.

Taehyung was indeed jealous about the whole thing: he wanted to be able to talk to his mom when it came to relationships. He wanted her to be the first person he'd tell when he came out of the closet. He wanted her to be the first person he introduced Jungkook as his boyfriend to.

But he just had to accept the truth. The hard truth that she was still in coma, fighting for her life to stay alive, and he appreciated her spirit to go on instead of giving up and leaving everything up to him. He knew she loved him dearly, and that she'd always fight for him when she could.

Jungkook came up from behind Taehyung as grabbed his hand to hold onto whilst they both stood over her bed, hoping to see something happen; hoping for a miracle.

"Hello Mrs Kim," Jungkook bowed politely, causing Taehyung to smile at his actions. "I'm Jeon Jungkook, but you already know that," he chatted like she was awake, which made Taehyung happy as he knew she meant a lot to him. "But what you probably don't know is that I'm very close to your son, Taehyung. He's such a good friend, and I love him. And I don't just love him as my friend, but I do really love him." Jungkook turned towards the other and planted a kiss on his cheek.

He motioned for Taehyung to continue the talking. "Yeah, actually, we're together," he smiled, glancing at his boyfriend who smiled proudly at him with a nod. "I really like him, so I'm hoping you will too. We're happy together, and I hope you'll wake up soon so I can introduce the two of you."

Taehyung knew if he kept on ranting, he'd end up crying again, and therefore ended it shortly by giving his mother a light kiss on the forehead, and not long after Jungkook's shift ended, and they went back home to his house. 

On Sunday night Jungkook was forced back to his house by his parents, but Taehyung didn't mind and said he'd manage. And when Monday followed after, everything went back to how it always was when it came to the school.

The day started as usual when Taehyung walked up to his locker to get his books out, and he actually mentally counted, and when he hit zero, Hoseok came up to him with his usual happy grin. "Hello Tae," he greeted as nudged him slightly on the shoulder, which Taehyung only smiled to and nodded back to him. "Wait, did you just greet me back? Who are you and what have you done to Taehyung?" Hoseok kept on going with his usual jokes and humour, although he was right: Taehyung didn't really usually greet him back, although he hadn't noticed before now. Sometimes he even wondered why Hoseok wanted to stay friends with him when all he did was to treat him like he was invincible, or just think of Jungkook and become completely absorbed whenever he was around. It was kind of embarrassing thinking back like that, but Taehyung was glad he was changing to the better.
