TEACH ME. | VKOOK ✔️

15 [End]

It was Sunday evening when Taehyung and Jungkook were laying on the latter's bed, all cuddled together beneath a thin blanket. Fuzzy, little pastel-colored light-bombs on the light string above the bed were leaving the room's beige walls in a dimmed and calm atmosphere.

The happening from only two days ago left the whole school in utter shock, especially after most of the students saw through the window, as their, oh so innocent and cheerful teacher in which they had such a deep trust in, was being put into a police car, getting arrested for sexual harassment on one of his own students.

Jimin was atoning for his sins by doing pretty long social hours, while his parents are debating on which school he should transfer to. After the happening, it was sure that Jimin would never enter the school ever again. But that's all Taehyung and Jungkook knew about Jimin's situation. Further stuff he might had to do were unclear to them.

However, Jungkook couldn't care less if he might had to go to jail for a short period of time, or whatever. All he cared about now was that he was in Taehyung's arms, inhaling his scent as he laid his head against his chest, listening with a blush on his face how his heart was beating loudly.

None of them wanted to to break their sweet, cozy silence of warmth and cuddles, yet Taehyung knew he still had things to say, just as he promised two days ago. He gulped his saliva down his dry throat.

"Kookie," his raspy voice whispered, earning a sleepy, sweet hum. His eyes looked down at the little angel in his arms, how his eyelashes were resting, how beautifully calm he looked. That's the sight Taehyung adored the most. His Kookie, being all safe, happy and healthy, all of that, just in his arms. He smiled warmly.

"I'm really sorry about not realizing anything sooner. I was so dumb..." Taehyung mumbled, but to his surprise, a chuckle escaped Jungkook's lips. He cuddled more to his boyfriend's chest.

"It's okay, Tae. I'm really happy right now. I-I may not forget this so quickly, but..." he trailed, "being with you makes me feel as if all of that never happened," he said, looking up with his sweet, chocolate-colored bambi eyes at Taehyung, who blushed at the sight. "And that, makes me really happy." he finished, flashing a bunny-smile.

Taehyung couldn't help but cooe at that sight, ruffling his soft hair gently, pecking it softly. "You're so fucking cute-" he mumbled, tightening his grip around the younger. Jungkook only leaned to his touch more, blushing as he enjoyed their closeness, giggling.

"However, I also want you to know something else. It's really important, so listen, yeah?" he spoke, booping Jungkook's nose as the latter climbed onto Tae, being clingy and smiling brightly. He nodded several times. "Tell me!"

Taehyung smiled softly, then started to speak. "Look, Jungkook. I want you to know that it is important to always speak up to yourself and let others know that you also have the same human rights as everyone. You deserve to be respected about your mind and body, just as everyone else. Never let people do this to you again. Please, always remember that, okay?" he finished off by cupping Jungkook's soft cheeks, giving his forehead a tender kiss.

Jungkook, being touched by his words, stared at Taehyung with a flustered look, followed by a gentle smile. "Thanks, Tae" he whispered truthfully. "I will remember that, promised."

With that, Taehyung smiled, and both started to lay there in silence again, just enjoying each other's presence, yet thinking.

"Kookie?"

"Yes, Tae?"

"How did you came to fall in love with me ... this quickly?" he asked, as this question was staying in his mind for quite a time now. He has always wondered why things went this smoothly, like in some kind of fan-fiction. Curiously, he looked at Jungkook, who was still laying on his chest, also looking up.

"I've always loved you, Tae." he suddenly spoke, throwing Taehyung off of his horse, momentarily. "I-I just- I thought that ... we won't ever be together like... this. I pushed my feelings away back then, decided that it's the best to keep you as my best friend, so I wouldn't lose you. And that's how I fell in love with Lee-eun and... forgot my feelings for you. But- that day...." he trailed, blushing as he looked to the side, "everything came back again. And I realized, that I could have never pushed them away. They were always there by me, I just didn't realize sooner."

Taehyung was taken aback by his words, staring with widened eyes at Jungkook. "W-whoah... y-you... really mean... all of this? So... you were... in love with me just like.. I was In love with you?? At the same time...?" he made sure, and blushed when Jungkook nodded, being flustered himself at his own sudden confession.

Taehyung, being shocked about all of this, needed some time as he was staring with enlargened eyes somewhere else, holding his head. "... I... Jungkook, t-that Friday, Jimin asked me out."

"— what?"

"Yeah," he said, still having the same look on his face as he looked back to Jungkook's similar facial expression. "T-Thats why I was so pensive. I-I thought that, maybe I should give up on you and give it a try, since I knew you'd never feel the same as me... oh my..."

"Tae..." Jungkook murmured, not hesitating when he hugged him tightly. Similar to Jungkook, the elder also quickly hugged back, holding him like some kind of golden treasure he has almost lost.

"Baby.. I'm... I'm so happy it turned out like this for us..." Taehyung murmured, kissing his temple tenderly, with a hint of sadness in his voice. He couldn't believe that he has almost made a crucial mistake- imagining both of them being unhappy in their relationships, suffering.

"...I'm really glad things turned out the way they did on that Friday" Jungkook said while hugging him, and Taehyung nodded. "Me too baby. I'm suddenly grateful we had such hormones. They actually saved us from becoming unhappy," he muttered, hand caressing Jungkook's head tenderly.

"Indeed," Jungkook said, chuckling a little. After leaning away from the hug, they stared at each other in some more. Big smiles were decorating their faces, realizing how lucky they were of their fate, that things turned out this way for them. That Taehyung didn't accept Jimin's feelings, that Jungkook didn't accept Lee-eun's feelings, that both fought for each other.

That they didn't give up.

The hand of Taehyung was gently caressing Jungkook's soft cheek, pulling him a little closer. And as if it was all happening automatically, both leaned in for a lovely kiss, closing their eyes as they were trying to express all of their feelings in that one, simple touch of their burning lips, hearts beating powerfully as one.

Both madly in love with one another.

"Tae?" Jungkook asked after an hour or so, half asleep. Their lights were turned off, the moonlight falling into the room through the window. Taehyung was staring upon him, smiling softly at that cute sight he had and slowly caressing his cheek with the back of his hand. "Yes, doll?"

"...Teach me..." he muttered with closed eyes, being on the verge of drifting off to sleep. Taehyung raised an eyebrow, the sentence giving him flashbacks to a heated scene from two weeks ago or so, right in this room. "Teach you what, sunshine?" he tilted his head, whispering softly.

"How to... respect myself.. teach me how to speak up for myself in the future... how to.. love myself.." he mumbled, snuggling closer to Tae's warm chest. It took Taehyung a while before he responded, the loud beating of his heart in the silence of the moon and night outside distracting him a little there.

Finally, a warm smile decorated his lips, eyes turned to sweet crescents. "Of course, Kookie, I will," he whispered, slowly leaning down to his forehead, his lips fondly giving it a tender kiss.

"I will teach you how to love yourself."
