Good Boy Turned Bad [Taekook Short Story]

03

Jungkook and Taehyung had been dating for two months.

People were shocked that someone had gotten close to Jungkook; they thought it was impossible. People talked behind their backs but neither of them cared. They were happy.

~ Flashback ~

"It's my mum," Jungkook began, his voice shaking. "She's...dying."

Tears streamed down his face as he hid behind his hands. Without hesitation, Taehyung wrapped his arms around the younger and pulled him close. Jungkook gripped onto his shirt and sobbed, leaving damp patches on the material. Running his hand through the other's hair, Taehyung did his best to comfort him, whispering calming words, his other hand rubbing circles on his back.

To Taehyung, Jungkook was perfect. He may have been broken, but when all the pieces are back in the right place, his beauty compares with no other.

~ Present Day ~

"No! Ah! Taehyung-ah! Stop!" Jungkook laughed as Taehyung continued to tickle him. He loved to hear the younger laugh. Nothing made him happier. There was a knock at the door and Taehyung finally stopped.

"I brought you boys some snacks!" Jungkook's mum walked in with a tray in her hands and a bright smile on his face. After months of hospital treatment, the doctor's had given her the thumbs up; her illness was gone. Taehyung still remembered the day that Jungkook had told him. He had been so happy that he was crying, laughing, hugging him and jumping up and down all at the same time.

These days, Jungkook was a lot happier.

"Thank you Eomma!" Jungkook leapt up from his bed and took the tray from his mother, placing it down on the side. He suddenly hugged her, smiling widely.

"Where did that come from?" She laughed, patting his back.

"I'm just so happy you're here." He replied and pulled away. His mother ruffled his hair affectionately and smiled.

"Me too. I don't want to miss another second that I could be spending with my baby boy." She squeezed his cheeks and he pouted. "You're all grown up now, you've even gotten yourself a boyfriend!" She looked over at Taehyung who smiled and blushed from embarrassment.

"Mum!" Jungkook wined, also blushing. "I told you not to bring it up, I find it embarrassing!"

"But you're so cute together!"

"Mum!"

"Fine, fine. My lips are sealed." She pretended to zip up her lips. "I'll be downstairs if you need me."

"We'll be fine mum! Bye!" Jungkook called after his mum who had left the room.

He turned around and lied back down on the bed, where he'd been before. Taehyung instinctively wrapped his arm around the younger's waist and pulled him closer. Jungkook smiled and pressed a small kiss on Taehyung's lips.

He hummed in approvement and brushed a piece of hair that was dangling in front of Jungkook's eyes out of the way. Cupping one of his cheeks in his hand, Taehyung leant forward and pressed their lips together again. Butterflies swarmed in his stomach and every part of him felt electrified. They'd kissed many times before but he thought he'd never get bored of it. Of him.

When they parted, they stayed in silence. They stared into each other's eyes lovingly and Taehyung found himself awestruck by Jungkook's beauty. Never in a million years did he think he would ever be dating someone as amazing as him. His heart swelled just thinking about it.

Jungkook placed his hand over the one wrapped around his waist and intertwined their fingers, bringing the back of Taehyung's hand to his lips and kissing it. Taehyung swore he felt his heart stop.

Jungkook smiled sweetly at how flustered his boyfriend looked at the simplest of gestures. He truly was perfect, to him anyway. From the way he would become so excited over the smallest of things, to how cute he would act when he wanted something, to how he would randomly hug him out of nowhere and jump around like a maniac just because he was 'so happy to be with him', Jungkook loved it all. And then it hit him.

"I love you, Taehyung."

There was a deafening silence where Taehyung didn't move or speak and looked so shocked, Jungkook was sure he was going to pass out on the spot. But then his mouth split open into a giant, goofy grin and he kissed him again and again.

When they finally broke apart, they were both out of breath.

"So does this mean you-" Jungkook began.

"Yes, it does." Taehyung cut in, smiling adoringly at his boyfriend, feeling like the luckiest person in the world.

"I love you too."
