🌈Temptation of the forbidden/ Taekook ✔

◇Chapter 9◇

Jungkook POV

Why is he here?

Dropping my defensive stance I plop down awkwardly beside him.

"Kook, I'm sorry" His voice is all shaky and he seems to refuse to meet my eyes.

My hear beat quickens.

"I...I'm sorry you had to hear that" Oh that's what he's apologizing for.

My heart drops.

What did you expect, you moron?

A love confession?

"It's alright" it really isn't but my sensitive feelings are not his fault.

"No no it's not. Kook. I... I don't even know why I did that." He sighs, a lonely tear running down his cheek.

I keep still, letting him pour out his heart.

"I I don't know what came over me. I didn't want to torture you like this. It's horrible and I'm horrible and I'm sorry. I'm supposed to be your best friend but all of this mess has changed us."

"It's really okay Tae, don't worry about me" I have to hold back my own tears.

"Please let me speak Kook. Everything is different since that stupid mistake and I I want to be like before. I miss the us that we once were" He breathes out, more tears running down his face.

I wait a moment more to make sure he has said everything he wanted before letting my tears escape too.

"I miss us too Tae", I haven't used his nickname in quite a while.

"Let's just be us tonight. Like nothing ever happened" He finally looks at me, smiling tearily.

I nod, smiling two.

He scouts closer, taking one of my headphone thingy and listening to it with me.

He sighs at the familiar slow song that I've loved since middle school.

"How did you even know I wasn't at home and here?" I whisper, not wanting to interrupt the almost silent river.

"I woke up and I wanted to c check on you but you weren't there. And where would my guk go when he wants to be alone?" He smiles at me cheekily.

He wanted to check on me? Oh damn that's adorable.

And his guk?

His bestfriend guk!

That's what he meant.

"Thank you" I answer quietly.

Only a second later I've realized what I-'m doing.

My head is nestled warm and comfortably into his shoulder and before I can apologize and sit properly he does the same.

His hand rests on my hip, slightly stroking and his head leaning on mine.

And I forget.

Forget that its 4 in the morning.

That I'm freezing.

That he's Soo Ahs boyfriend.

That I'm broken.

Because like this I can pretend that everything is fine.

In my alternate reality Taehyung is my boyfriend. We went on an amazing date and just wanted to end the night prettily, watching the sun go down at the han river.

The world is whole and everything is good.

I love him and he loves me.

Simple, easy, sweet.

I forget how broken I really am.

Looking out to the river, comfortable silence and quiet music creating a comforting quietness.

Nuzeeling my head into his neck, I reply take in his scent of vanilla.

Not talking I look up to him amd he looks at me.

Hand still on my hip, my head still slightly rested on his shoulder.

There's light in his eyes.

The one that has been missing for so long.

That little light glowing the brightest of the millions of stars in the galaxy.

My eyes flick down to his slightly chapped, full lips as his tongue runs over the plump softness.

And the distance between us shrinks slowly.

I close my eyes.

His breath hits my face, heating up my cold nose.

And then his lips are on mine.

Soft gentle and yet passionate and longing.

And I let him do whatever he wants.

I know I'll regret this later. He's my sisters boyfriend.

But it's worth it so worth it to at least feel this intensity of being loved even if it's only this once.

Because I love him.

And I doubt that that'll ever change.

Because my heart is so full.

Full of my best friend Taehyung, that laughs at all my chokes. My love that is unable to cook and always orders takeaway. That takes my hand to warm it up when I'm cold. That knows all the best candy and shows and would ditch everything to come over and play some video games.

He'll stay there for ever. The only citizen in my heart but am I there in his too?
