THE SEVENTH || (Taekook/Vkook) ||

Chapter 33: It's not stress that kills us, it is our reaction to it

It had been about a month since the feud between the lovers, and Taehyung losing his trust in Jungkook.

The pair were still so in love and they were doing so much better, but Taehyung was stuck in a funk of mood swings. One minute he could be cuddling Jungkook, and the next he's snapping at the younger for touching him too much. It was evident to Jungkook that his alien-like beauty of a lover had lost his trust in him, he knew this well. But no matter how Taehyung was behaving at the moment, Jungkook would never forget that this was his doing, his fault.

Cheating on his lover, acting jealous, neglecting him, constantly leaving him because of his own insecurities. It would've been odd if Taehyung didn't act the way he was. All Jungkook could really do was to keep showing the love of his life how much he meaning he holds to him and that he was there to stay.

Jungkook meant it when he said that he learned his lesson for good.

He had been taking the older on dates religiously for the past month and showered him with love, to get that spark back into his eyes. But despite the fact that Taehyung was getting much better and slowly trusting Jungkook more each day, his eyes still held a hollow feeling. It was like no matter what Jungkook did for him, he was still getting ready for the younger to leave him any day now.

Jungkook needed to get rid of that hollowness.

The couple were currently out on one of their dates together, however this one was Taehyung's favourite date by far.

He was sitting in the movie room at home watching Stranger Things by himself, as one does, while Jimin and his hyungs were at the company working on their own stuff, and Jungkook had told him he was out buying some food. Taehyung bought that ... until Jungkook showed up, driving a silver pickup truck, walked inside the house and carried an extremely startled Taehyung in bridal style out towards the car. Jungkook ignored his older boyfriends constant questioning and drove them to a hill, where you could see the entirety of Seoul. Jungkook then pulled his lover out of the car and started setting up the truck, making it into a bed with a mattress, pillows, and a blanket.

And that's where they were now, cuddling in each other's arms as they watched the stars together in a comfortable silence, sometimes filling the silence with small talk.

Taehyungs dream date.

"I can't believe you did this for me Jungkook," Taehyung whispered for the tenth time as he cuddled closer to his lover.

Jungkook smiled, pulling him closer and intertwined their hands. "I remember you telling me while we were on tour that this would be your ultimate way of healing and relaxing your mind and body. Then you said that you wanted us to do it together and that it would be your favourite date if it ever happened," he kissed Taehyung's head lovingly, "So, I made it happen."

Taehyung smiled and turned his head towards Jungkook, asking for a kiss. The raven head smiled happily and complied with a soft one.

"Thank you for remembering," Taehyung whispered, as he pulled away.

"Anything for you Angel," Jungkook whispered back, eyes shining, trying to figure out how someone so angel-like could be with him.

They gazed into each other's eyes, not caring about missing out on the stars shining above them in the sky, because for them the brightest shining star was living in the eyes of the other.

Jungkook brought up his hand and stroked Taehyung's cheek slowly.

"You are so damn ethereal," he whispered, completely mesmerized.
