Double Lover | TaeKook

CHAPTER 1

1: Love knows no gender

They were sitting on a bench, hand in hand while watching the sunset. "The view is really beautiful," Taehyung uttered.

The red and orange hues melted into the vast canvas, and a ring of fire balancing the contrast while it slowly vanish down the horizon. The couple enjoyed the enticing view with their hands intertwined.

"Like you," Jungkook replied with a sweet smile. Taehyung turned his head to him and a blush crept on his cheeks just by seeing his Jungkook's intense gaze.

"I love you so much, Kook." His hands caressed Jungkook's cheeks as a subtle smile formed on his lips.

"I love you so much more, Tae," He replied and leaned in closer, pressing their foreheads.

They love each other no matter what- through thick and thin. When it comes to their love, there are no boundaries. Unbeknownst to them, the people who surrounds them can be the boundary itself.

Their luscious lips were a few inches away  from each other. Taehyung's gaze shifted on his lips before he gulped, anticipating his lover's next action.

The lad was about to press their lips against each other when his phone started ringing. He pulled away from Taehyung with a sheepish smile.

Taehyung gave him a soft smile before he stood up from his seat, fishing his phone out. The muffled noises from the phone were now clear as it was already out. He pressed the green button and pressed the phone on his ear.

"Hello dad. What is it?" Jungkook said. He momentarily took a glance at Taehyung who seemed to enjoy the stunning sunset.

"Kookie, you should come home early. Because your mom cooked your favorite dishes." His father said on the other line. He scrunched his nose when he heard his childhood nickname from his father but it faltered the moment he told him about his favourite foods. He could already smell his mom's dishes from a mile away.

"Dad, how many times do I have to tell you that you shouldn't call me Kookie anymore." He whined and his dad just chuckled.

Taehyung chuckled too, taking his attention and he only responded with a threatening glare.

"If that's what you want, Kookie. Remember to come home early so that your mom won't get pissed."

Damn it! He doesn't listen.

"Okay, dad. I'll see you later." He said and hung up the call.

He walk towards the bench and took his seat back. Their eyes lingered on each other's presence with a soft smile. They looked away and averted their attention to the sunset. Somehow feeling embarrassed that they didn't end up kissing each other.

"Jungkook, I have something to tell you." Taehyung said and rest his head on his shoulder.

Jungkook hummed indicating him to continue, "I already told my parents of who I really am." Jungkook looked down with a furrowed eyebrows. He noticed Taehyung's proudful smile.

Sometimes happiness is when you show or tell them who you really are.

"What? How was their reaction? Did you told them about our relationship too? I thought we have talked about this. We will tell them in the right time, not now." He frustratingly said.

Jungkook is not ready for that revelation. Because he is afraid of the repercussions, what if they'll cut their ties to him?

He couldn't afford if he'll lose his family. But he loves Taehyung too.

"No Jungkook. I told them who I really am not our relationship. I just don't wanna hide my real self. I want to be free. I want to do the things I want to do." He calmly said easing his atrocious mind.

Jungkook sighed in relief, a smile formed on his lips. At least, Taehyung won't hide his real self in front of his family or other people.

"I'm sorry Tae, I overreacted." Jungkook apologized pulling him in a sweet embrace.

"What is it mom?" He asked as he started to dig in the food.

"It is about your bestfriend, Taehyung." She said. He tensed up, halting his actions and his eyes stared at his mom, anticipating her statement.

Their relationship were kept a secret. They were afraid of what might happen.

How would their parents react when their sons were gays. And worst, in a relationship with each other. But now that Taehyung exposed his real identity and his parents showed support and acceptance made him feel a bit envious.

Taehyung is as free as a bird.

How about Jungkook? When will he have the courage to tell his parents the real him?

"What about him mom?" He asked, his voice is slightly hinting a concern.

"He's a gay!" She exclaimed and Jungkook's heart skipped a bit at her reaction but he managed to hide it with a poker face.

"What's the matter if he is gay mom?" He asked. He took a gulp and his hands crumbled his pants under the table.

"It really matters, my son. You should stay away from him. What if he'll infect you with his immoral sexuality?" She huffed.

Jungkook pursed his lips and shifted his gaze back to his food yet he doesn't have an appetite to touch it. He just wants to ignore his mom's presence.

You won't get infected by other people's sexuality. But instead you might get infected by other people's ignorance.

"Darling, don't say those things. Every person has it's real identity and being themselves are one of their ways to be happy. But unfortunately, Taehyun and his wife might not have a grandchild and that's because of their son. At least, our son will have kids in the future." He said and took a bite of steak. Jungkook felt at ease and a subtle smile formed his lips.

He patted Jungkook's shoulder. "You can still be friends with him. But if he touches or do something to you inappropriately, you need to end your friendship with him. Do you understand that?"

Although, his father is open minded. He doesn't accept and support those kinds of things. He believes that a man is for a woman and a woman is for a man which is basically 'true'.

But what if you feel something towards a man. That you could never feel towards a woman.

And that unknown feelings is called LOVE.

Is it still forbidden?

Is it unacceptable to the people's eye?

Is there no chance for them to be themselves?

Is there no chance for them to be happy, in each other's embrace?

Is homosexuality a sin?
