Haunted?

31. I love you just the same

Jungkook lost count of how many times his heart broke into pieces in the last six months. He never thought a human was capable of withstanding so many heart breaks. But here he was, positioned on top of Taehyung, with his knees on either side of his thighs, experiencing another massive heartbreak. 

He knew that Taehyung was under the impression that he wasn't pure anymore. But the second he actually heard those words come out of his mouth, his heart broke again. 

"I-I don't deserve it. I know it was not my fault, but I still don't deserve it. I was tainted repeatedly, Kookie. I am not pure anymore" Taehyung said with a heavy voice, tears gathering in his eyes once again. 

"Taehyungie" Jungkook started, only to be shushed by Taehyung. "No, no. Don't stop me. Listen to me" Jungkook said, getting back down to cuddle him again. 

"How many times have I told you that I literally worship the ground you walk on?" Jungkook asked in a soothing voice. Taehyung blushed a light shade of pink at that and broke into a small smile. "Many times" he whispered. 

"Since when did I start telling you that?" Jungkook asked. "Since we were in high school" Taehyung said. "Right? I told you that even before we were in a relationship. Trust me, Tae. That never changed. I know. He tainted you. But I don't mind, baby!

It's not like you cheated on me or anything. If anything, you deserve more love than anyone else because everything happened to you against your will. Nothing has changed, baby. I still love you the same, if not more. And I still worship the ground you walk on. 

And please don't say you are not pure. You are the purest person I know. Other than me, of course, but still" Jungkook said, trying to lighten up the mood. Taehyung chuckled at that. "Such a brat" he whispered. "Your brat" Jungkook grinned. Taehyung grinned widely at Jungkook. 

"I love you, Kookie" he said. "I love you too, Tae. I would literally go to Pluto and back with you if I have to. That is how much I love you. Do you remember how you said you would love me just the same even if I were a sack of potatoes?" Jungkook asked. 

"Yes" Taehyung chuckled again. "Well, it applies to you too. No matter what happened, I would love you just the same. If possible, more than I already do. But I don't think that is possible, because there is no way I could love you more than I already do. So yeah, you get the point, right?" Jungkook asked. 

Taehyung nuzzled his head into Jungkook's neck and pushed forward. "Yes" he whispered to cover his breaking voice. "So you will never call yourself impure, right?" Jungkook asked. "I won't" Taehyung whispered. 

"Good" Jungkook grinned. "Now get up. Your pigtail is all destroyed. I'll tie it again and we can go and bake that damn cake" he said. Taehyung groaned. "Just leave my hair aloneee" he whined. "Nope! Not happening!" Jungkook stuck his tongue out at Taehyung and hurried to get the small comb. 

"You are not supposed to pout at me like that!" he exclaimed once he returned with the comb. Taehyung pushed his lower lip out further and looked up at Jungkook with puppy eyes. "No, no, no, no, shut up. You can't attack me like that. I AM going to tie a pigtail on the top of your cute head. You are not supposed to attack me like that!!" Jungkook whined. 

Taehyung's pout slowly turned into a small smile and then into a smirk. Before Jungkook could realize what was happening, Taehyung pulled him by his collar and threw him onto the bed harshly. Jungkook fell with a grunt, dazed by the sudden change of events. 

Taehyung puckered his lips. "This one attacks you?" he asked, grinning widely at Jungkook. Even though Jungkook felt really attacked with this cuteness and sudden mood, he felt ecstatic looking at that familiar boxy grin after six long months. 

"Yeah" Jungkook grinned, getting drunk on the mood. "Then take this" Taehyung said, pecking Jungkook's lips with those puckered lips. He got up and ran to the kitchen before Jungkook could do anything to him. 

"Yo, you goose! Now sit down like a good boy and let Daddy put a pigtail on your head" Jungkook said, walking into the kitchen with the comb still in his hand. Taehyung could see how hard Jungkook was trying not to blush. 

"Daddy?" Taehyung smirked. "Yupp. Now sit here" Jungkook growled, pointing to the dining chair. Taehyung pouted again and sat down on the chair. 

After fifteen minutes of struggling, Jungkook finally succeeded in tying the damn pigtail. 

"Now the cake" Taehyung sprung up. "Now the cake" Jungkook chuckled and threw the comb on the couch and rolled his sleeves up.
