Protect (Taekook) ✅

Stay

Taehyung was playing with his food, unsure of if he could even eat it properly without throwing it up afterwards. Jin had told him to not eat too much, as he could become sick, since his body wasn’t accustomed to eating much food.

Jungkook watched, but understood and didn’t press him to eat.

There was an uncomfortable silence lacing the air.

Something that Taehyung didn’t like.

“Tell me about you…” He finally said quietly. “Tell me about what you did. How did you meet everyone?”

“Well, I met Namjoon about two months after I had left home.”

“You left home?”

“Yes, I did. After you disappeared I left.”

“Why?”

“To find you. You know...what had happened to me in the past. And...I’m not blaming you Taehyung, but we had just shared a very intimate moment, and I was feeling very insecure. So when you disappeared. I just cracked and I ran. I stayed out on the streets for awhile, getting involved in the wrong crowd. They taught me how to fight and toughened me up. Somewhere in between I hit puberty and grew. I met Namjoon sometime in between there. He was working for some small mafia at the time, and I somehow convinced him to work with me, told him that we could build an empire together.”

“I see.” Taehyung looked down and Jungkook could tell that he felt bad.

“Please don’t blame yourself, none of it was your fault.”

“I know...it’s just a bit hard not to.” Jungkook nodded, grasping Taehyung’s hand.

“I love you, Taehyung. Seeing you in pain hurts me. Please don’t blame yourself, I never want you to blame yourself. For anything. Okay?”

“Okay.”

“We met Hoseok next, picked him up at a street fight. Namjoon wanted to test him, so we did and he beat a man about three times his size. Yoongi came next. He’s a genius hacker, one of the best that was near impossible to hire. Hoseok strolled right up to him and made out with him and from then on he was a part of our team. Jin only came after a few months of convincing...and probably a good fuck from Namjoon.”

“And Jimin?”

“Jimin...he actually didn’t join the team until a few days after I found you again. He’d been a hit man for a long time, and I eventually contacted him and he just showed up one day.”

“You seem like, you found yourself a nice family.”

“They can be yours now, too.” Jungkook sighed. “Are you sure you want to stay with me? I don’t want to force you, and I don’t want you to think that you have to stay with me, just to make amends. None need to be made. You are free now, Taehyung, and if you don’t want anything to do with this kind of life, I can set you up somewhere. Get you a nice place, maybe enroll you in some college classes. Get you a job you’ve always wanted. You can do anything now, love. I don’t want you to think that you have to stay with me.”

“I want to.” Taehyung said quietly. “I don’t know what I would do without you, bun.” Jungkook felt his heart beat rapidly at the old nickname.

He broke out into a wide grin.

“Okay. I would love it if you stayed with me.”

“I...I love you, bun.”

“I love you always, baby.”

So...here's the thing. I love this story, I really do, but I haven't figured out a single thing I want to do to continue it.

I refuse to put it on hiatus again, and I refuse to discontinue...

So the only other option is to get some help.

These next few weeks while I try to get this story back on track, I'll be taking some requests of scenarios you'd like to see (and who knows, maybe it'll help me get my shit together)

I'd love to here your suggestions? (But keep in mind the story plot and stuff so don't go jumping into smut smut smut right away)
