TaeKook [One Shots]

#82: TaeKook; Reincarnation

TaeKook Short One Shot

ANGST

"If reincarnation is true, what do you wanna be in your next life?" Can you remember how you asked me that question, one night when we were walking down by the side of the fields?

It was cold that night and you kept calling me, 'Ggukkie, Ggukkie. It's cold, Ggukkie...'. I couldn't bear but smile secretly at how you loved the nickname you made. I loved it too. I told you I did love it. But I never did say that I love the one who made it more.

We were young so I was hesitant. Maybe you would just think that I am playing around. And I never wanted that.

And yes, I answered nothing. Because of course, I could not.

I can still remember how you took my hand and held it with your two hands, saying that my hands are warm. I wanted to call you too, 'Taetae, Taetae. It's cold, Taetae...'

But you answered. "In my next life... I wanna be Kim Taehyung still,"

I wondered why and fortunately you continued. "Because, if you are born in the same era. You might not know me if I am not Taehyung."

You pinched my heart. And I wanted to tell you how much I wanted to explain that it is not like that. Because Taehyung, even if you had a different name or a different face, my heart will know you.

How I wished you kissed me that night. That same night before they announced, 'dead on arrival' after we both got hit by a truck.

You were nine and I was seven. And now, you're 27, and I'm seven. Watching you as you smile at the person who's meant to be your one and only in this life which I thought I would be.
