Pure Seduction | JJK - KTH (ONGOING)

twenty-three

"...you need to let me love you." I said softly, "I know it hurts, but please, let me help you for once."

Jungkook looked at me with a pained expression, he lightly held my hand and his breathing became more unstable, "I-I can't... I can't, Taehyung!" voice quivering.

I took in a deep breath to think for a moment, and placed my hand on his chest. His heart was beating rapidly, and it wasn't a good thing for him. "Jungkook, listen to me." caressing his cheek with my other hand, "Do you remember what you said to me a few weeks ago?" pausing, "You told me that whenever I'm near you, I make you feel that sense of warmth."

He simply let out a stressed huff, "Jungkook... you need to open up your heart."

"Right now it's as if chains are wrapped tightly around your heart, and you-" sighing, "you're letting yourself slowly slip away instead of unraveling those chains."

Putting slight pressure onto his chest, "you need to let me help you." pausing, "I don't want to see you in pain like this for much longer. I'm begging you... please."

His eyes were glossy with tears again, sparkling. All of a sudden my heart felt like it was being squeezed and I was short of breath for a moment, "ack-!"

I did my best to hold myself together and block out the pain. Taking deep and slow breaths somewhat helped. I took off Namjoon's hoodie and shivered as I placed it on the ground. With whatever strength I had, I helped Jungkook sit up as he quietly watched me. I could hear all of his jumbled up thoughts, nervous, anxious, he didn't know what to do.

I quickly brought my arms around him and held him in my embrace. I gently placed my lips onto his neck and placed soft kisses onto his cold skin. I can't say he was warm, but he didn't feel as cold as before. Then it all clicked. "Jungkook, I need you to do something for me, okay? It can't happen without you."

His arms lightly made its way around me as he spoke, "Just... please, make the pain... go away."

'That's what I'm here for... it's what I'm trying to do for you, but you need to trust me.'

My hands traveled up and into his soft head of hair, lightly massaging his scalp, hoping it would comfort him before kissing him ever so gently. After a few moments, he kissed back and gave in. As I closed my eyes, I saw something. It was Jungkook's memories slowly playing in my head. It seemed as if his past memories were being replaced with newer ones... of me?

He clutched onto my arms, whining, and I could feel something wet smearing onto my face. When I opened my eyes to look at him and move my face away, he was shedding tears.

Eyes puffy, nose and cheeks red, sniffling, he couldn't stop crying. He struggled to speak properly as he kept babbling on about how he couldn't bring himself to do anything more.

"Jungkook." cupping his cheeks with both my hands, lightly wiping away his tears, I hushed him. "Jungkook, look at me." bringing his face close to mine again as he continued to sniff, gazing softly into his doe-like eyes, "you're doing just fine, okay? But I need you to try just a little bit harder. You need to know that nothing is going to hurt you, I'm right here, alright? And I'm doing my best to heal you somehow, someway, with the help of our bond."

His eyes twinkled and his brows furrowed, "I need to acknowledge and accept the bond..." Jungkook whispered. He mustered up all his courage and our lips connected again like a puzzle piece, moving together in synch. Again, I saw his memories playing in my head thanks to the bond, but it was different. It was his reapers kiss, except, all I could see playing was everything that we did together, everything recent, and the times we reconciled. I could feel what Jungkook felt in those moments, a sudden wave of warmth washed over me, and it felt so good to finally stop freezing.
