Sacrifices (vkook)

"You've been acting strange, baby. Are you sure you're feeling alright?"

Taehyung looks over at Jungkook who was standing in the doorway of their room. "Have I been? I'm fine."

"Baby, you haven't went into little space all week." Jungkook says coming into the room and sitting down on the other side of the bed.

"I haven't been feeling little." Taehyung says, which wasn't a complete lie.

"You sure? You've been distant too, you can come to me with anything, Tae you know that." Jungkook says holding his arms open as Taehyung crawls over to him.

"I know." Taehyung says as he presses their lips together.

Jungkook kisses him back briefly before breaking the kiss. "As long as you're alright."

Taehyung stops Jungkook asks he moves to stand up. "I actually do want to talk."

"What's up?" Jungkook asks sitting back against the headboard.

"Lately, Kook. I've been feeling weird." Taehyung says. "Not that I'm not always feeling weird but, it's different."

Jungkook nods and lets him continue.

"I don't know how to explain it, but I just..." Taehyung trails off, wrapping his arms around Jungkook's neck.

"You just what, Tae?" He asks as the other leans closer.

"I need you to touch me." Taehyung says running his hands down Jungkook's chest.

"Tae, is that why you're acting strange? Or are you trying to distract me?" Jungkook says taking Taehyung's hands. "Cause it's not working, now talk to me."

    "I'm not, Jungkook. We haven't had sex in months, I'm going crazy." Taehyung whines as he leans in for another kiss.

    "Tae, what's bothering you?" Jungkook asks dodging the kiss.

    "Jungkook." Taehyung groans. "I just want you to touch me, you don't look at me the same anymore."

    "That's not true, baby. You know I love you." Jungkook says.

    "I love you too, but that's not what I mean. I know you love me, you wouldn't still be here if you didn't." Taehyung says. "But why won't you touch me anymore? You don't look at me anymore. All you do is worry about me."

    "Tae, you know I love everything about you. I know we haven't been together intimately in a while but that's because of everything else we have to worry about. It's not because I don't want you anymore, I do." Jungkook says pulling Taehyung into a hug.

    "Remember when we first met?" Taehyung asks as he hides his face in the crook of Jungkook's neck.

    "Yeah, I remember." He says. "Why?"

Taehyung sighs sitting up. "I can't explain it but, I've been feeling these feelings that I haven't felt in a long time."

    "What feelings, baby?" Jungkook asks.

    "Like I'm lost. I don't know who I am anymore, Jungkook." Taehyung says, tears filling his eyes. "I was so lost when you found me, Jungkook. And now I feel like the only thing that can feel the emptiness insides me is some kind of affection. Anything besides the feeling of nothingness growing inside of me, Jungkook. And I don't want to feel like this. I don't want to."

    "It's okay, Tae. You don't have to feel like that, I'm here. I'll always be here for you." Jungkook says. "I'll help you find yourself again."

    "What if I never truly found myself in the first place?" Taehyung asks, more tears swelling in his eyes and following the other down his face.

    "That's okay, too. Just don't think you're alone, I'll be here through it all. And I'll be here when you find yourself." Jungkook says.

Taehyung nods wiping his eyes. "I'm just scared. I never want to be that guy again. I don't want to go back to feeling that way."

    "Hey, I fell in love with that guy. That guy is the reason we're here today, baby. If I would have met you at your best I couldn't have loved you at your worst. I found myself in you, and I know with you I can overcome anything. And I want you to find yourself in me. Because no matter what, baby you can always come to me and trust that I'll never leave your side. I love you, and nothing will ever come between us."

    "I love you too." Taehyung says, his voice still thick with emotion.

    "Come here, let me hold you." Jungkook says pulling Taehyung into his lap and hugging him close.

Taehyung hugs him back tightly as he cries. "I don't know what'd I do without you."

    "Well you don't ever have to think about that, because I'll always be here."

    "Come again?"

Junho groans in frustration. "I'm not explaining it anymore after this. It's a solid plan, Jae."

    "It just doesn't sound right, why would you take Tae and Haeun? Shouldn't I take them and you take Jungkook?" Jaewook asks looking over the blueprint for the plan.

    "No, she's gonna look for you first, she thinks I don't give a shit about the kid or Hae. And thanks to you she's already onto you." He says. "I'm gonna take, Haeun and Taehyung. At approximately five in the morning Sunday and you are gonna take Jungkook. We will catch the nine o'clock train to the airport, you guys catch a cab to the train station on the other side of town. You guys will take the ten o'clock train all the way to Daegu train port. It's an hour train ride.

    "Taehyung, Haeun and I are taking a flight that has a twenty minute lay over in Daegu, we'll meet you guys at a place called the Underground. It's near the train port. When you get there go straight inside and find a room with Jungkook until we get there. We really shouldn't be too far behind. When we get there we'll transfer both of them to an undisclosed location off the grid. That will give us at least another two months. That's more than a week so I suggest you take it rather than leave it."

Jaewook sighs running his fingers through his hair. "Fine, I'm trusting you with them. Don't fuck up."

    "I promise it's gonna work out. Now we just have to explain that to them." Junho says with shrug.

    "You're forgetting Jungkook doesn't trust us for shit. We work for his mother, the same woman that's trying to tear them apart." Jaewook says.

    "You're right. But he has to understand we're the reason they're still together. If she would have hired anyone else Tae would be dead." Junho says sitting down at the small table in their apartment.

    "We'll head over tomorrow night. It's only Monday so they'll have time to process everything." Jaewook says, stress evident in his voice.

    "Alright, I'm turning in." Junho says standing up. "Wake me up when my shift starts."

    "Yeah." Jaewook says standing and walking over to the computer that was connected to the hidden cameras in Jungkook and Taehyung's place.

Time was running out, and Jaewook felt it.

If they didn't act soon it'd be too late.
