Wish You Were Here [vkook/taekook]

Florida

Hello all you beautiful readers that have waited so long for me to update this story~♡ I apologize with how long it took but it was becoming complicated for me to keep track of two stories with completely different plots while working 40 hours a week as well.😔🥺 I can't apologize enough for how long it has taken for me to regain the rhythm of this story and the plot I had going, so please forgive me if this chapter is a mess. I promise you that it will get better again~♡ I just have to remain in stride~♡ This story is already almost halfway done in my drafts now~♡ I just have to edit them.:3 I release them slowly so that I'm not scrambling for content, especially if I hit writer's block unexpectedly.😂🤣 So the chapters will still be released weekly to keep me from panic updating.🤣😂 Nobody wants that but deadlines are my enemy.😂🤣 Enough about my poor excuses for leaving this unfinished for so long and onto the advisory warning~♡ There are dark thoughts of death and leaving things behind or unfinished as well as unwanted physical contact within this chapter so please be advised when reading~♡ But without further ado, I give you the next installment~♡ Please enjoy, my loves~♡

Taehyung smiled to himself as he walked down the clean beach of Florida solo, his shoes in hand while the crisp water lapped at his feet. He shoved one of his hands into the pocket of his navy cargo shorts, sighing softly to himself. He wondered if he was ever going to be able to finish his bucket list in case things did take a turn for the worst. He always tried to be optimistic ever since he'd received the news, but current events and dark thoughts were making that harder with each passing day.

He removed his hand from his pocket and gripped his camera, aiming it out towards the endless cerulean blue sea. He stopped walking long enough to snap a few pictures, even kneeling to capture the ocean at all different angles. One where the sun reflected magnificently off the blue ocean, casting the sea in luminous orange in the picture. He hoped that Jungkook would be happy when he saw these pictures Taehyung continued to take for him. He also hoped that if things did turn out for the worse, that Jungkook could look back at these photos and remember all the conversations and letters they'd sent back and forth. He was certain that he would, even if it came to his final moments.

Taehyung felt a knot form in his stomach from that line of thinking, his heart throbbing painfully as he shook his head in dismay. Things couldn't take a turn for the worst. He wouldn't allow that. Especially not before meeting Jungkook in person at least once. Then he could die a happy man, although then he realized he'd constantly be praying to God for just one more day- every day after that.

Many couples passed him on his trek along the beach, making Taehyung feel even lonelier as he snapped pictures of the clear skies with fluffy white cotton candy clouds dangling listlessly in immense blue. Many of the girls, even the ones with boyfriends, stared him down as if he were a deer during open hunting season. It almost made him feel uncomfortable if he hadn't been used to it from his previous CEO. That man had always been staring Taehyung down like he was starving and Taehyung was his last meal. That. That made him uncomfortable. Not so much these lingering lustful stares from women on the beach.

Taehyung ignored them just as easily as if he'd acknowledged them and went about his way, snapping more pictures for Jungkook. He was going to send Jungkook this letter and hope that he received one back again. He enjoyed texting Jungkook and the late night conversations, but he missed the nostalgic feel of sending him a letter and all the pictures he'd taken during his travels. It was, after all, the start that ushered to their friendship that soon turned into a romantic relationship. He honestly never thought Jungkook would want to be with someone like him. Someone who others could manipulate easily and push around. Although he was glad when Jungkook had accepted his offer to be more than friends. That had made his heart soar with delight and even now, his heart sang just at the thought of being in a relationship with Jungkook.
