the gardeners son | taekook

*𝟞*

and just as taehyung said, jungkook did.
every. single. weekend.

it's not like he didn't enjoy it, it was just boring not the spending time, but what they did.
is this how taehyung lived?
he actually pitied taehyung for what his life was.
he watched as taehyung asked permission to leave the house just to go to the garden.
jungkooks heart broke a little each time he saw the pleading look on taehyungs face.
he felt real emotions for the boy that caused him hell.
he wasn't free anymore, jungkook was taehyungs slave.
he didn't mind much, as he enjoyed taehyungs company and sometimes looked forward to the weekend.
taehyung wasn't free either, he was the houses prisoner.
jungkook had no idea what caused taehyung to be confined within the walls of his home, but he felt sorry nevertheless.
he felt he was doing good when he arrived at the house every saturday and sunday, for around 2 months now.

jungkook had settled into school fine and had a secure group of friends. he actually preferred it over his old school. he worked well but also enjoyed each day, it was nice, it was different. he felt guilty for liking school, as school was something to detest. but he didn't, not anymore.

the move was, good?
yes, it was good.
he felt good, happier.

taehyung did too, knowing he had jungkook in his grasp.
guilty? yes, he knew it was wrong. but could he help it? no.
jungkook was everything he'd ever wanted in a friend, someone who didn't bow down to him when they saw him. someone who had their own opinions and stuck by them no matter what taehyung said.
it felt real, even though it wasn't.
he wished it wasn't fake, he wished jungkook chose to be his friend. but it was only a punishment and soon enough jungkook would get tired and fend for himself to get him out of there.
but he didn't know what went on in jungkooks mind, and how he though of them as real friends. maybe even his realist.

it was odd though.

the weird feeling they both felt through their bodies and stomachs when their hands touched accidentally or when it was just silent stares they shared, when they thought the other was to beautiful to be true.

when the wonderful sound of laughter was heard by one of them and their hearts picked up its pace and face changed colour to red.

neither had experienced this before, neither knew what to do.

they didn't know they were falling for one another.
