THE SEVENTH || (Taekook/Vkook) ||

Chapter 12: 95's & High School Vibes

Everything had changed.

Jungkook and I had changed.

The members had changed.

Bangtan had changed.

The night I fully gave myself, my trust, my body and my love back to Jungkook, everything had gone from good to magnificent. Jungkook and I were whole again, we felt stronger and more in love than ever. It was as if that one night, finally allowed us to let go of the darkness and follow the light.

We were not angels flying on damaged wings anymore.

We were not searching for a way to obliviate everything that had happened; Every heartbreak, betrayal, tear. Instead we grew, our minds grew. We finally accepted it all, I accepted that I had been cheated on by not only my lover, but also my brothers. And they accepted their betrayal towards me. But none of us were stuck in pain and regret anymore. We accepted everything and moved on, with our bodies and soul.

The numerous reassurances of "I'm okay," were no longer empty words to make the others feel better, they were said with true meaning behind them, a deeper meaning than they had ever held.

We trusted and loved each other in a way we had never done before.

Finally a soulbound family at its strongest.

We proved everyone wrong that told us we couldn't improve, that we couldn't go back from and let go of everything that had happened.

But they didn't know, they would never know. They would never understand that Bangtan wouldn't run, we stayed. Bangtan wouldn't forget, we solved. Bangtan weren't simply friends, we were soulbound.

We never wanted to go back to how we were, even before the betrayal. We were happy before then, our bond was strong. But we didn't wish to go back, so the public and the people who doubted us were right in that we would never be like we used to be. And we were okay with that.

Because instead of having that back, we had reached our most powerful form. It was a bond that held such power which couldn't be explained in words.

Now, we weren't suddenly immune to fights or making more mistakes just because we had reached this point of trust and love together. But we knew that no matter how many fights or falling outs we would have in the future, we would always find our way back to each other.

But the members were probably regretting our strong bond and promise to stay by each other no matter what around the same time Jimin and I got back home from our favorite Comic Cafe in Seoul.

We flew back home from New york the night before and as soon as Jimin and I woke up we decided to visit our walk around Seoul and then go to the comic cafe, instead of staying home like the other boring members.

We knew we were jetlagged, but our exhaustion didn't slow us down, instead we were like two children on a sugar high.

Even when we got home and saw our exhausted members, all sitting on their own large bean bags in the movie room watching tv and taking it easy, it didn't stop us from barging inside loudly, still fighting the war we had started at the cafe, as the members all stared at us.

"But I told you I wanted to read Naruto, why did you take it you idiot!?" Jimin whined still trying to take the comic book out of my hands.

"Tough luck." I stuck out my tongue at him, while struggling to keep him away.

Jimin glared, "Give it here fucker," he said and then launched himself on me with all his might, causing me to fall on my back and let go and lose my grip on the comic.
