the not so forced marriage

Safe

Tae walked to where the scream came from. He heard Jungkook crying, it broke Tae's heart in two. He expected the door to be locked, but lucky for him it wasn't, he knocked on the door and before Jungkook could answer Tae waked in.

Jungkook's eyes darted to the door and saw that Tae had walked in. He quickly tried to wipe his tears away, but it was too late and he couldn't stop crying. Jungkook looked at his feet in shame.

Tae locked the door behind him and walked up to Jungkook, he turned him around and lifted him up onto the bathroom counter. Jungkook was still fiddling with his jumper because he didn't want Tae to see him in the state he was in. But Tae didn't care. He placed his index finger under Jungkook's chin and lifted it up.

"Are you okay Kook?" Tae asked with concern.
Jungkook just nodded, even with tears falling down.
"I can see that you'e not...Show me your hands" Tae asked gently.

Jungkook shakily lifted his hands up and put them into Tae's hands. Tae's eyes were shocked at the sight of them, there were cuts everywhere. They were red raw and they didn't stop bleeding.

"Awh no, that looks so painful. I'll get some cream and plasters for them. Is there anywhere else where you have been hurt?" Tae wanted to check just in case.
Jungkook was in defeat anyway so there was no point of him lying so he nodded his head.

"What where?" Tae worriedly asked.
Jungkook propped his leg up on the surface next to him, and lifted his trousers up a bit. Jungkook hadn't actually looked at his ankle yet, but he didn't realise how bad it was. The cut looked quite deep, but thankfully not deep enough for stitches.

"Jesus Jungkook! Why didn't you say anything that looks so painful. Let me sort this out" Jungkook just kept crying, he didn't know why but he just couldn't stop. Tae frantically searched the cupboards to find the first aid box.
Which he then finally stumbled across.

He first dampened a cloth and cleaned all the cuts, Jungkook bit his lip in pain.
"Right I'm going to clean the cut on your ankle. This one will hurt a lot, just hold on tight ready... 3....2....1...." Jungkook yelped in pain.
Tae quickly added cream and bandaged it up. Jungkook let out a deep breath when it was done.

"There we go Kook all done" Tae smiled.
Jungkook was still pouring of tears, not because of the pain anymore, because his dad had a go at him. Tae got the sense he was crying because of Mr Jeon.

So he cleared all the medical stuff up and walked up to Jungkook, who was currently crying on the counter. He opened his arms out and wrapped them around the crying boy. Jungkook was a bit taken back at the action but he really needed the comfort, so he returned the hug. Although Jungkook was still worried about Tae and the whole crush thing, he needed the support in that moment.

The boys stayed like that for a while, until Jungkook had finally calmed down. He felt safe with Tae, he's never had this feeling before and he can definitely tell that this feeling was good. Jungkook finally pulled from the hug, he wiped his face and looked at Tae.
"Thank you Tae for helping me" Jungkook sniffed.
"Awh that's okay, here let me help you"
Tae reached out pulling Jungkook off the counter and putting him on the floor. They then unlocked the door and walked back to the kitchen and sat down on their seats.

Afterwards, both families ate some more and chatted non stop. Everyone learnt a lot about each other. Until it was time for the parents to leave.

"Okay boys it's time for us to leave you now in your new home. We don't have your engagement rings just yet. They will be coming in a few weeks, so it's your decision what you call each other, and whether you going to tell your friends or not. But either way it will come out in a few weeks anyway that your together" Mr Kim stated.
