"Not that I'm complaining, but Tae, what was that for?"
"Well I called my grandma and asked about my ex. It was an interesting conversation, and Yoongi heard it all. He was in the bathroom the whole time. He says he won't say anything, not even to Jimin. But Kook, I'm worried. So much."
Jungkook wraps his arm around V and gives a slight squeeze.
"So tell me about it. How did the conversation go?" Jungkook asks.
"Well she said he made it, he's not dead. So I guess that's good. I really didn't want to kill him. But I was so scared. She says he is always asking her where I am, and that she refuses to tell him each time. He hasn't gone after her, yet. She seems confident that he won't, but if he really wants to get to me, he knows she's the one to go for."
Jungkook can sense how scared V is now. He knew his grandma is the most important person to him. He wants to help, but how?
"Tae, is there anything I can do to help?" He asks.
"I mean, just be here for me. I know it's been weird since you told me how you feel and all. And to be honest Kook, I'm starting to feel the same, but I don't know how to do this. I'm so used to a relationship like it was with my ex. I told my grandma how I was feeling, she pretty much told me to stop being stubborn and give you a chance."
"Oh? She doesn't know me though!" Jungkook says with a laugh.
"Yes we'll Yoongi does and he said the same thing. I know we aren't him and Jimin, but... maybe if we take things slow, we can try it out." V says.
He looks down, and suddenly feels a hand under his chin. Jungkook lifts his head up and hold it. He looks into V's eyes and makes a promise:
"I swear to you Tae, you'll never have to be afraid of me. I'll never be mean to you. I'll never hurt you. I'll never make you cry. I'll never break your heart. I will love you like my life depends on it. I will be your shoulder to lean on for anything. I only ask for one thing in return: be mine. Mine only."
V can feel his heart beat faster and faster. His body heats up. His heart tells him to say yes, his head is hesitant... But he goes with his heart. He wants to take a chance.
"Okay...I'll be yours. And only yours. I promise."
And with that, Jungkook takes both his hands, puts them on Vs jaw and pulls him into a soft yet passionate kiss.
And in that moment, both of them forget about the world around them.
