the two broken boys.

Chapter Thirty-Seven.

I woke up feeling extremely hot. I sat up in bed, a load groan escaping my lips. I shut my eyes tightly and put my hand up to my head. I had a terrible headache. I wanted to curl up and go back to sleep, but at the same time, I didn't want to.

I forced myself to get out of bed and walk toward the door, opening it and heading downstairs. I saw Jungkook on the couch, his head in his hands while his elbows rested on his knees. I walked down slowly, hoping not to make any noise as my feet hit each stair. 

Once I got down, I walked toward Jungkook and sat beside him. He raised his head in surprise and stared at me. His eyes looked glossy, and it made me frown. "You okay, baby?" I asked, putting a hand on his thigh. "Yeah, I'm okay. I just had a nightmare last night." He muttered. 

I sniffled and tilted my head to the side. "A nightmare? About what? I've only seen you like this once." Jungkook looked away and chuckled sadly. "It was stupid..." He muttered, his voice trailing off. I squeezed his thigh, making him look back over at me. "Tell me."

He took in a deep breath. "I dreamt that someone took you away from me. That someone hurt you really bad, Taehyung. And I couldn't save you." He whispered. "I watched you die, Taehyung. I had to sit there and watch you suffer and die." He said, his voice cracking. Little tears now slid down his cheeks.

I raised my hand, gently wiping away his tears. My heart broke when he said he watched me die and watched me suffer. It broke, even more, when I saw that he was crying about it. He started to cry, even more, tears now pouring down his cheeks. "Hey, baby. Calm down. I'm here, I'm not dead. It's gonna be okay."

I pulled him into a hug and he put his head in the crook of my neck. I rubbed his back. Normally the roles were switched, but I liked this. I liked how he was okay with crying in front of me. That made me feel special, and all I wanted to do was protect him and love him. I pulled away and gently grabbed his face, pressing our lips together.

His lips always tasted so sweet, and ours molded together perfectly. We stayed like that for a second, in our own little world, enjoying and savoring the kiss. He was the one to pull away, and I smiled a boxy smile. "Thanks, princess." He whispered to me. I grabbed his hand and held it while he was calming down.

I started to hum a little song I had been working on in my spare time. I called it Scenery. I was hoping that it would calm Jungkook down more. I closed my eyes and started to sing the song, letting my head sway gently back and forth as I sang. 

"I still wonder, wonder, next story~"

"I want to make you mine."

I stopped and opened my eyes once I stopped hearing the sniffling. Jungkook was looking at me in awe. "Baby, your voice is so pretty." He stroked my cheek, and I smiled. My cheeks turned a light pink color, and I looked away. "Beautiful." He said softly and kissed my forehead.

I stood up from the couch. "Hey Jungkook, how about we make something!" I said and walked to the fridge. He looked at me and chuckled. "Make something? Like what." I opened the fridge, searching through it. "Hm... Rice Krispie treats?" I asked and he nodded in approval.

He got up, running toward me. Surprisingly, Jungkook had everything we needed. Jungkook grabbed the butter, and I grabbed the marshmallows, and the cereal. We set the ingredients on the counter and Jungkook got a bowl.

I opened the marshmallow package and sneakily shoved a few marshmallows in my mouth. "Tae, hand me the butter, please." He said. I tried my best to swallow the marshmallows, but there were so many. "Baby, hurry." I turned around, my cheeks full of marshmallows and handed him the butter.

"Are you eating the ingredients?!" He exclaimed and I smiled, running away. I finished chewing the marshmallows and walked back to the kitchen. Jungkook had put the butter in the microwave so it would melt.

Once the butter was melted, we put in the marshmallows and cereal. Jungkook was mixing them around and putting them on a little pan, while I watched. I sat on top of the counter, my legs swinging back and forth. Jungkook put his hand in the marshmallow part and walked over to me, wiping it on my nose. (I don't remember how to make Rice Krispie treats, I'm sorry.)

I gasped dramatically, glaring at him. "You little mischief-maker!" I yelled and tried to get the marshmallow fluff off my face. Jungkook giggled and grabbed more fluff, smearing it on my face. I yelled and stood up on the counter, jumping on top of his back and hitting his butt with one of my hands. (like in the Baepsae dance practice.)

I got off his back and he was still laughing, and now I was too. "Come on baby, let's eat." He said. "Go sit on the couch and pick out a movie." I nodded and walked over to the couch, sitting criss-cross on it. I scrolled through Netflix, looking for a suitable movie. And then I saw it.

"WE'RE WATCHING CORALINE!" I yelled. "What, why? Isn't that for babies?" He said and I gasped again, glaring at him. "HOW DARE YOU? CORALINE IS AN AMAZING MOVIE AND WE"RE WATCHING IT BECAUSE I FUCKING SAID SO!" I yelled once again. Jungkook laughed. "Okay baby, no using bad words." He said and put two Rice Krispies on a plate.

I started the movie and he walked over, handing me a plate. We started to eat while watching the movie. I hummed along to the opening scene and looked at Jungkook. He seemed like he was actually interested in the movie, and that made me grin like a goof.

-

Halfway through the movie, my phone buzzed. I opened it and looked at the text. Of course, this fucking unknown number. I put my plate on Jungkook's lap and scooted a little bit away from him. I angrily texted the stranger.

-

Unknown

When I text you, you better fucking answer.

Taehyung

Can you shut the fuck up and stop texting me?

I'm trying to spend time with my boyfriend and you're fucking ruining it!

Fuck off, or else I'm gonna block you.

Unknown

You're going to regret talking to me like that.

-

I was about to respond when my phone was snatched right out of my hands. "Hey! Jungkook, give it back!" Jungkook stood up and started to read the texts. I bit my lip. He was going to be mad. Jungkook's smile turned into a serious expression as he read the texts.

"Taehyung." He said blankly. I looked up at him nervously. "Who is this?" He said, waving my phone at me. "I-I don't know," I muttered and looked away. "Look at me." He said firmly, and I whined, staring into his eyes. "Why the fuck didn't you tell me this stranger was bothering you?" 

He said with a glare. I frowned and bit my lip, not answering. "Answer me." He said. "Because I didn't want you to get m-mad," I muttered, fiddling with my fingers. "I blocked him. Don't talk to him again, or else there will be problems, got it?" 

I nodded. "Good. I just want to make sure you don't get hurt, okay angel?" I knew that, but him getting a little angry scared me. I sighed and gave him a slight nod. He slipped my phone into his pocket and sat beside me again. "Let's continue watching the movie, okay?" I smiled and put the movie back on.

He put his arm around me and I sighed, resting my head against his chest. We continued to watch Coraline, making jokes and talking to each other as we watched.

I was so happy that he blocked that stranger, and that he wasn't mad. And that I got to spend this day with him. Just relaxing, and watching little movies.
