You Enlighten My World ( Taekook ff )

Part 96

It's nearly two in the morning. Jungkook is in deep sleep and he is alone on the bed. There is no sight of his husband in the whole room. 

Jungkook stirred in his sleep as he didn't feel the familiar weight on his body or the warmth surrounding him. 

"Baby?" He called in a sleep laced voice as he blinked his eyes, waking up from his deep slumber. 

"Baby? Tae?" He called again but no one answered. He turned to his left only to find the bed empty. He immediately sat up on the bed feeling worried. After all, it's the middle of the night and his husband is not on the bed. Tae is a heavy sleeper and normally doesn't wake up before morning. 

"Where is he?" Jungkook thought as he ran his eyes around the room. As he was looking around his eyes landed on the balcony door that was open. 

"Is he on the balcony? At this time?" Jungkook thought as he got down from the bed and started walking towards the balcony. 

Jungkook reached the balcony and spotted the boy he was looking for there. 

Tae, dressed in a plain black T-shirt and brown sweatpants, was huddled in a corner of the balcony. His legs are drawn to his chest, hands wrapped around them and face hidden between his knees. His shoulders are shaking and the boy seems to be shivering a little. 

Jungkook felt a pang in his heart seeing Tae like that. "baby" he softly called the boy. 

Tae raised his head hearing his husband's voice and turned his tear stricken face to Jungkook. 

"K..kookie" he whimpered, "w..what would I..I do?" He asked as some more tears left his doe eyes and ran down his cheeks that seemed to be turning red because of crying. 

Jungkook sighed hearing the question and took long steps to where the boy was sitting. He reached there and sat before the crying boy. He pulled Tae to himself and placed his head on his chest and wrapped his arms around the younger. He held Tae's head with one hand and started rubbing his back with the other. 

"Ssh.. don't panic, ssh.. don't cry, you will do very good, hmm" Jungkook said as he continued to rub Tae's back. 

Tae pulled his face from Jungkook's chest hearing his words and looked up at the older, "y.. you think s..so?" He asked like an insecure kid. 

"Yes, baby I do" Jungkook replied. 

"But, what if, what if I forget everything? What if I mess up all the answers, what will I do?" Tae asked doubtfully, "what if I fail Kookie?" With that he again started sobbing, fisting Jungkook's t-shirt. 

"Baby, baby look at me" Jungkook cupped Tae's face in one hand, his hand still busy rubbing the boy's back, "listen to me carefully okay?" He looked into the panicked boy's eyes, "Nothing like that will happen as you just said. You won't forget anything or mess up. And you won't fail, so please stop panicking" he told Tae. 

"Are you sure Kookie?" Tae again asked like a lost child. 

"Hmm" Jungkook gently kissed his forehead, "I'm sure because I know my Taetae is the best. My Taetae is never going to fail." He said with a little smile. 

"I won't forget anything, right? I won't fail right?" Tae again asked the same thing and Jungkook nodded his head in affirmation, "hmm, you won't" he said.
