Haunted?

8. Before graduation

Past

"Hey, baby" Taehyung greeted as he fell back on the bed with his phone in front of his face. His Jungkook greeted him back from the phone with a huge grin on his face. 

"How's everything over there? Is Ajeomma still fussing over you moving in with me?" Taehyung asked. "She never fussed!!" Jungkook exclaimed. "I know, I know. But she has been fussing over the things you still haven't packed, right?" Taehyung asked. 

"That! Of course! I would be surprised if she didn't fuss" Jungkook said, rolling his eyes. 'Do NOT roll your eyes at me' Taehyung heard Jihyo's voice in the background and burst out laughing. 

"Well, well, hello, Ajeomma!!" he yelled. "Hello, Taehyung! How are you?" Jihyo asked, snatching the phone from Jungkook. "I'm fine, Ajeomma! How are you?" he asked, grinning widely. He still couldn't believe that they grew up so much and were already moving in together, when he still remembered meeting Jungkook for the first time as if it had happened just the previous month. 

"I'm fine, dear. I swear, your face matured a lot!" she suddenly exclaimed. Taehyung laughed awkwardly at that, not knowing what to say. "You mean he became more handsome" he heard Jungkook say, making him blush brightly.  

"Awww, look at you blushing! You two take care of your lovesick asses, okay? Don't just fool around. Behave like adults even though Kookie isn't one" she said. 

"Eommaaa" Jungkook whined. "Don't worry, Ajeomma. I'll take care of him. He is gonna be in my college, anyway. We literally won't be away from each other except during classes" Taehyung said. 

"I know, I know. I am just worried because he is still a mi-nor" Jihyo's smile fell and her voice broke. Taehyung felt bad for her. Of course it was going to be hard for her to be sending her seventeen year old son away for the first time in his and her life. 

"Don't worry, Ajeomma. I know you are going to miss him. He is going to miss you too. Seokjin hyung and I will take good care of him. You know, right? Seokjin hyung literally moved into the opposite flat. We are all gonna be together" Taehyung said. 

"I kn-ow, b-but I-I....." "Eom-ma, d-don't cry" Jungkook's voice broke as he hugged her. "Okay, I'll call you later. Have your moment. I'll be coming home tomorrow morning, by the way" Taehyung said and waited for Jungkook to hum before hanging up. 

He sighed heavily. He had missed his parents for a long time too when he moved to Seoul. But he was fine now. They talked once every three days. They had moved to Daegu, their actual home town, after Taehyung moved to Seoul. 

His mother and Jungkook's mother had become extremely good friends. Even Seokjin's parents had moved out three years ago. Jungkook's mother was left completely alone. 

He sighed again before turning his phone off and packing his one day essentials into a duffel bag, deciding to leave right in the morning. 

It was Jungkook's graduation the day after the morrow and he wanted to spend some time with Jungkook's family as well before taking Jungkook along with him the way Seokjin took him. He didn't want Jungkook, a minor, to come to Seoul alone. Also, he wanted to attend his graduation ceremony. 

He smiled as he put the gift in his bag. After fifteen minutes, he fell back on the bed and passed out. 

Seokjin had moved in with Namjoon a week ago, making it easy for Jungkook to move in. 

"Kookie!!" he yelled from outside his house the next day. "COMING!!!!!" he heard a yell, followed by hurried, loud footsteps. Before he could realize it, Jungkook was jumping on him, enveloping him into a gigantic hug. 

He stumbled back and fell straight onto the bush behind him, completely destroying it in the process. Jungkook laughed loudly before attaching his lips to Taehyung's lips. 

'Oh, god!!' Taehyung thought as he devoured Jungkook's lips. They fought externally for a minute before Jungkook finally bit on his lower lip. Taehyung gave in easily, letting Jungkook slip his tongue in. 

Taehyung licked the bottom of Jungkook's tongue, eliciting a gasp from him. Jungkook licked the roof of Taehyung's mouth in return, making him moan loudly. Taehyung repeated what he did, hoping Jungkook would do it again.

 And that's exactly what Jungkook did, making him moan loudly right in front of Jungkook's mother. 

"BOYS!!" Jihyo finally yelled, realizing that they weren't going to listen if she called them normally. At first, she decided to let them kiss, knowing how long they had been without each other's physical presence. But she knew she had to stop them when she heard Taehyung moan loudly. 

By the time she ran outside with a horrified expression, Taehyung and Jungkook were already a moaning mess, right on her precious plants. 

"KISSING IS FINE!! NOT EVERYTHING ELSE!! GET YOUR LOVESICK ASSES INSIDE!" she yelled, not caring about the neighbours. It wasn't like she talked to any of them, anyways. 

The two boys got up with swollen lips and red faces. 

"Hello, Ajeomma. Sorry for the plant" Taehyung muttered before sprinting into Jungkook's room. He waited just long enough for Jungkook to sprint in before slamming the door shut and locking it. 

He groaned as he slid down the door and buried his face in his hands. "That was soo embarrassing!!!" he whined. "I know, right?!" Jungkook whined. Taehyung looked up at Jungkook from his position. 

The two of them stared at each other for a couple of minutes. Jungkook's mouth finally twitched. That was it. The two of them burst out laughing, rolling on the floor with the force of their laughs. They banged the floor in the process, a habit that they picked up from Seo Dae Shin. 

"Aaaaah, m-my sto-stomach hahaha" the two of them groaned from time to time, but somehow just couldn't stop laughing. 

After almost fifteen minutes, they finally calmed down enough to take a deep breath. 

"I brought something for you" Taehyung finally said. 

"What's it?!?!" Jungkook asked, eyes glittering with the tears that came from their previous laugh. 

"It's actually a graduation present, but I want you to use it tomorrow. So I am giving it to you right now" Taehyung said, pulling the box out of his bag.

He got up and walked up to Jungkook. He sat down in front of him and placed the box on the floor between the two of them. 

Jungkook stared at Taehyung with wide eyes before opening the small box. 

There it was. 

Something that he had always wanted for the two of them. 

Silver Promise Rings. 

Taehyung reached for the box and took one of the rings out. "Come here" he whispered. Jungkook silently lifted his left hand, smiling like an idiot. 

Taehyung smiled widely as he slipped the ring onto Jungkook's index finger. "Show me your hand, baby" Jungkook whispered, pulling the other ring out. 

"I love you" he whispered as he slipped the ring onto Taehyung's left index finger. "I love you too" Taehyung whispered before leaning in to kiss those favourite lips of his.
