Table for Two | TaeKook

Thirteen

The two of us went home, smiling, laughing, and apologizing for everything. Although the moment was indeed extremely saddening — especially for me — Jungkook's smile in replacement of those tears made my heart swell with happiness. His smile, his beautiful, breathtaking smile, and his laugh... Took my heart away. I loved the way the boy aimlessly fidgeted with his fingers and how he blushed when he was given any compliment.

I couldn't stop staring at him long enough to turn on the engine of my car. Blushing, Jungkook muttered a, "you're staring, Taehyungie." When I didn't reply and continued staring, his cheeks flushed a darker shade of red and he hid his face. I pouted, starting the car because that was what he clearly wanted. I immediately hit the gas pedal, scared that if I stole one more glance at the younger boy, I would once more be in a trance.

Hearing and feeling the car start, Jungkook let his hands fall back down to his lap where he started fidgeting, twirling his fingers around and around with a happy smile on his face. "Jungkookie?" I asked, breaking the comfortable silence. The younger boy hummed in reply, looking up and to his left to view the right side of my face. I bit my lip, thinking about how to word my sentence that I was about to say.

"Are you... Ending it with Hoseok?" Jungkook stared at me for a couple of seconds, completely silent. It scared me for a few seconds but then Jungkook burst out laughing, unable to stop for a few minutes.

"W-what's so funny?" I demanded, a bit of amusement, confusion, and seriousness laced in my tone. "Hyung," Jungkook started when he finally calmed down, "do you really think I'd beg you to be mine again if I didn't already end it with Hobi?" Clearly embarrassed with myself, I gave a nervous laugh, nodding at his words. They made sense, that was for sure. I mean, unless Jungkook just wanted to be with me to break my heart aga—

Stop, Taehyung. What are you saying? Do you even hear yourself?

I shook my head, annoyed with the thoughts roaming my head. "What's the matter?" Jungkook said, confused why I was furiously shaking my head at nothing at all. "Oh... It's just.."

I frowned, what was it exactly? I didn't finish my sentence because Jungkook quickly finished it for me "It's just that you didn't realize what you said and it made you flustered and embarrassed?"

"Y-yeah. Something like that."

Jungkook gave one of his golden laughs, the little giggle wrapping around my heart and filling it with warmth.

Everything was perfect. Nothing could happen to ruin this. Right?
