How did I end up falling for you? (Taekook )

Eight

"I'm  taking  a hiatus  after  my  album comes out  and  I'm  not  going  to even  promote  it.I'm  just  tired  of everything. "

"It's  okay  to take  a break sometimes. There  is nothing  wrong  with  that "

"I  don't  really  know  how  I'm  going  to be  around  Taehyung. It's  just  that he  is being  unbearable  .Calling  me a hopeless  cheater and  all. Frankly  I can't  change  his  opinion  about  me and  I don't  even  want  to.He  can think  what  he  wants  for  all  I  care"

"Don't  you  think  I'm  weird. I mean  you  are  bad  mouthing  my causin, your  ex boyfriend  and  future  husband and I'm doing it too along with you "

"You  definitely  are weird  .Let's  talk  about  something  else  then "Jungkook  giggled.

He got  home  in the  evening  only  wanting  to sleep  since  he  had  already  ate outside.

He  found  Taehyung  and  Irene  chatting  in the  living  room. He  said  his  greetings  before  slumping  onto  the  couch  letting  out  a sigh.

"So Jungkook, I  have  booked  tickets  for  your  honeymoon  to Mauritius "she  beamed.

Jungkook  opened  his  mouth  to say  something  but  Taehyung  beat him  to it.

"I'm  not  going"he  firmly said.

"But....?"

"It's  okay, Mrs Kim. If he  dosent  want  to go then  can  I  take  someone  else. We can't let  it go to waste "Jungkook  said.

"Sure, you  are right "

"Clapping  back  are you. I'm  going  to catch  this  time  Jungkook. Just  you  wait. 'Taehyung  thought.

"So can  you  tell  us the  reason  why you aren't  going  then? 'Irene  asked.

"I  have  very  important  work  and  I can't  miss it or I might  get fired "Taehyung  said  with  his  legs   crossed.

"Yeah, he  got some  really  important  work "Jungkook  emphasized with sarcasm.

"Must  be tough  working  for  the  government  right 'Jungkook continued.

"Yes  it is darling "Taehyung  smirked and got  a glare  in return.

"So I  guess  I  should  be  going  then .You  guys have  a good  night  then "

"We surely  will "Taehyung  grinned  as he  side glanced  Jungkook.

Just  as Irene  closed  the  door  Jungkook  literally  fled in quick  strides  upstairs.It was  as if someone  was after  him. 

Taehyung  smiled  at him  in amusement. He  was  enjoying  this. However  he  noticed  that  something  had  changed in Jungkook  over  the  years. His eyes  no longer  held  the  warmth  and  innocence  as they  did  before. Maybe  he  was the  one  who broke  him. One  thing  that  he couldn't  break  was  his  grace  because  Jungkook  was still  graceful  as ever.

Taehyung  was  just  too blind  to see the  damage he  had  inflicted on the  once  kind, loving, caring  soul.Something  was definitely amiss  here. Was there  something else  to Jungkook 's  resentment  towards Taehyung?

Maybe  their second  meeting  was a blessing  in disguise. Maybe  Taehyung  was  given  another  chance  to make  up for  his  mistakes. A chance  to atton for  his  sins and  short  comings.
