brokenly beautiful 𐤀ᵏᵛ

chapter nineteen

As soon as the three males stepped into the pack house, they immediately made their way towards the kitchen.

Yoongi shut the kitchen door, locking it in the process as to not be disturbed.

He then proceeded to head over to the kitchen counter, placing his bag filled with leaves on it.

Taehyung and Jungkook watched as he worked, Yoongi totally forgetting the two. It was only when he looked up that he got reminded of their presence.

"I'll be done with it soon. Then we can cure Jimin." Yoongi spoke, noticing the anxious look on Taehyung's face.

Taehyung nodded, his anxiety still present in him.

A million questions filled his mind, making it almost hard for him to breath.

What if they couldn't cure his best friend? What if Jimin stayed the way he was forever? Would he be able to see the bubbly side of the male ever again?

Taehyung bit his lower lip, trying to suppress a sob that was bound to leave as the negative thoughts hit him like a tidal wave.

Jungkook turned to look at Taehyung, the older visibly trembling as he felt a pang in his heart.

He reached out and grabbed Taehyung's hand, bringing him to the attached dining room next to the kitchen.

Taehyung looked at his feet, not wanting Jungkook to see his tearful expression.

Jungkook frowned, bringing his hand up gently to Taehyung's chin as he forced the elder to look at him.

"Sweetheart, what's wrong?" Jungkook whispered, worry evident in his tone.

Taehyung looked into Jungkook's eyes, seeing the care and concern in them as he finally sobbed loudly.

Jungkook widened his eyes in concern, quickly pulling the tear-streaked male into a warm embrace.

He rubbed small circles into Taehyung's back, trying to calm the elder as he felt his body shake violently.

"Shh, i'm here." Jungkook whispered, his voice soothing as Taehyung melted into his touch.

His trembling decreased as he looked up at Jungkook, the other male staring down at him lovingly.

"What's wrong?" Jungkook asked softly, not wanting the male to cry again.

"W-what if we can't cure Jimin, J-jungkook? I'll never be able to forgive myself." Taehyung cried, tears still evident in his eyes.

Jungkook's heart clenched at the broken look on his mate's face, making him pull Taehyung into another hug.

"It's going to be okay, Taehyung. We'll cure him." Jungkook said softly, his words reassuring the other.

Taehyung calmed down, his breathing coming back to normal as he looked up at Jungkook yet again.

"Jungkook..." he whispered.

"What is it, princess?" Jungkook asked.

"Thank you."

The words struck the other's heart, filling him up with happiness as he smiled.

"For what?"

"For making me feel better." Taehyung replied.

Jungkook stilled, his mind floating back to the time he had seen Taehyung break down at the balcony that night.

Just like now.

Jungkook smiled softly at the older, caressing his face as Taehyung subtly leaned into his touch.

"You don't have to thank me, Taehyung. I should be thanking you." Jungkook whispered, making Taehyung look at him curiously.

"For what?"

"For making me the happiest whenever you're around. Whether you reject me as your mate or choose to stay, it doesn't matter. Cause whenever i'm with you, I feel like i'm in utopia." Jungkook smiled.

Taehyung's cheeks turned crimson as he buried his head in Jungkook's chest.

He felt flustered by the other's words. But also happy.

"Thank you, Jungkook." Taehyung said, his voice barely above a whisper.

But Jungkook had heard him.

He pulled the smaller male closer to his body, wrapping his arms tightly around the other's waist as he kissed Taehyung's head softly.

Taehyung smiled, enjoying the simple touch.

He looked up, staring at Jungkook who's eyes radiate the happiness he was feeling, making Taehyung smile brightly.

He knew he and Jungkook had a special connection ever since they had set eyes on each other for the first time.

Whenever he was around the younger, his heart fluttered uncontrollably and started racing, his whole body burning unexplainably.

Taehyung felt safe and at ease in Jungkook's arms, feeling himself fluster and lean into the other boy's touch. He liked it. He liked this feeling.

The feeling of love and contentment, which he didn't get to feel in his broken home.

He wanted to stay this way forever.

But deep down, fear and anxiety wrapped around his heart.

Like every happy thing he encountered in life, would it just break and leave him alone again?
