Haunted?

10. Insecure

Past

"So....do you like it?" Taehyung asked hesitantly. "Like it? LIKE IT? I LOVE IT!!!!! OUR HOUSE!! OURS, Tae!!!" Jungkook exclaimed excitedly, looking around the small flat in which he and Taehyung were going to live. 

Taehyung chuckled at his boyfriend's cuteness, slightly wincing at his volume. 

The two had started dating the day before Taehyung moved to Seoul. Thus, the last two years had been hard for both of them. 

No matter how much they convinced themselves that the other wouldn't cheat, the long-distance relationship was getting on their nerves. Face time every night just wasn't enough. 

They craved to hold each other physically. They craved to look into each other's eyes and get lost in them. Thus, Taehyung ran back to Busan every single time he got a long weekend or a holiday. 

But even that became difficult when his parents moved back to Daegu. Even though he loved Jungkook, he loved his parents more. Even though he wished for that situation to never come, if he ever had to choose between Jungkook and his own parents, he would choose his parents without hesitation. And so would Jungkook. 

Thus, Taehyung started going to Daegu for vacations, which made it harder for both of them. Jungkook never blamed Taehyung for not coming to Busan anymore. He knew that Taehyung missed his parents too, now that he was living away from them. 

When Jungkook finally started looking for universities to join in, he chose Taehyung's college as his topmost option. He tried his hardest to get into it and luckily, he did. 

Seokjin told him that he was ready to move out if Jungkook was willing to move in with Taehyung. "I live more with Namjoon than with Tae anyways" he had said. 

That night, Jungkook almost tore his pillow and bed sheet with the force he used to punch and kick them. He kept squealing so hard and loud that Jihyo was forced to put a hand against his mouth and push him onto his bed, threatening to kill him if he didn't shut up right away.

He still couldn't believe that the two were going to live together. 

In the same house. 

Together.

Jungkook screamed loudly and launched himself onto Taehyung, pushing him onto the bed. 

"WE ARE GONNA LIVE TOGETHER, OH MY GAAAWWWDDDDD" he yelled again, with his face millimeters away from Taehyung's ears. 

Taehyung hissed and brought hands up to cover his ears. "Shut up, you goose" he said, screwing his face up because of the volume. 

"Aren't you excited?" Jungkook asked in a low voice, pouting slightly. Even though the pout looked fake, Taehyung could see how disheartened Jungkook suddenly looked. 

"Aww, baby. I am. I really am. I am just developing some sensitivity to loud noises lately. I am really very excited. Just......don't shout" Taehyung said, pulling Jungkook down for a kiss. 

Jungkook resisted the pull and pulled back to stare at Taehyung's face completely. 

"What's wrong, baby?" Taehyung sat up along with Jungkook. 

"You really did not cheat on me, right?" Jungkook asked with a heavy heart. 

'There he goes again' Taehyung thought. 

"Why do you keep thinking that I am going to cheat on you? I did not, Kookie, I really love you a lot. Why do you keep thinking like that? Do I look like a playboy or something?" he asked. Jungkook just sighed and looked down, staring at his lap.
