Kookie got up in the morning with a slight headache. He didn't know when he fell asleep last night, he didn't even have dinner. He looked around and realized that he's in his old room, instead of Taehyung's. Kookie hadn't slept here in a long time. He felt kind of sad that Taehyung actually let him sleep alone but it was totally his own fault. He's the one who told Taehyung that he needs some time.
Kookie quickly did his morning routine and went out of the room. He could hear the sounds coming from and realized that Taehyung was making breakfast. Kookie walked in to the kitchen and greeted the other.
"Good morning." Kookie said in a tentative voice and Taehyung turned a bit to look at him.
"Good morning. Breakfast will be ready in 5 minutes." Taehyung replied as he turned back to what he was doing.
Kookie frowned at the indifferent tone that the other used. Taehyung's voice lacked the normal warmth in it and also he didn't exactly met Kookie's eyes. After few minutes, Taehyung put two plates of food and juice glasses on the table. They both had their breakfast in silence.
Taehyung was not even looking at him properly and Kookie felt as if the silence is suffocating him. He felt a sudden tightness in his throat and couldn't eat properly so he pushed his plate back and drank few sips from his juice glass.
Taehyung looked at Kookie when he noticed the other pushing his plate back. He saw that there was a piece of food under Kookie's lower lip and instinctively reached with his hand to wipe that.
Kookie looked up when he notice the hand reaching towards his face but Taehyung abruptly stopped when their eyes met. They both stared at each other for few seconds in silence, hand frozen in midair.
Kookie felt a pang in his heart when Taehyung withdrew his hand in the next second. That small gesture made Kookie realized how much things changed from yesterday.
"It's just a food crumb. You can wipe it off. I won't break in to pieces just because you touch me." Kookie tried to make a joke to lighten up the mood but his heart was beating so fast.
Taehyung didn't laugh or gave any response. He looked indifferent to what Kookie said as he got up and took both plates to the sink to wash.
"Tae..." Kookie called the other but Taehyung didn't turn back.
Kookie patiently waited till Taehyung was done with his work but he was feeling so scared. Did Taehyung finally had enough of trying to work it out with a guy with amnesia? Kookie didn't have any counter arguments even if he did.
Taehyung finished drying the plates and turned around. He could clearly see Kookie staring at him with a hurt look and it made his heart ache too. But he clenched his heart as felt that this is what's best for Kookie.
Taehyung tried to walk pass Kookie but the later stopped him by grabbing his hand.
"Did you get tired of me already?" Kookie's voice sounded so broken. "Will you not touch me again?"
Taehyung sighed loudly. He closed his eyes and ran a hand through his hair few times before opening his eyes again and looking at Kookie.
"How can I? When you belong to someone else." Taehyung finally replied in a soft tone, his voice betraying the pain in his heart.
Kookie felt as if Taehyung had slapped him. He removed the hand that were holding Taehyung's arm and took a step back. The tears that he successfully kept at bay till now, finally tipped over. Kookie slowly ran the back of his hand over his cheek and wiped them.
"Y-yes, of course. I understand." Kookie's voice was barely a whisper. "You deserve someone better."
Kookie turned to walk away but this time Taehyung held him back. He gently cupped Kookie's face in his hands and wiped the remaining tears
"It's not about what I deserve, baby. I don't want you to be in a situation where you have to choose between me and your husband." Taehyung said softly as he stroked Kookie's face. "I can't make you cheat on your husband, Kookie. It'll break your heart."
"What about your heart?"
"I don't really care what happens to me." Taehyung said with a soft smile, making Kookie's heart overflow with sadness.
"Do you care about what I want, about my happiness? Or have you already decided this?"
Something about Kookie's voice made Taehyung frown in confusion.
"Of course I care about your happiness, baby. That's the only thing I care about in this."
"Then can you believe me when I say that my happiness is you. You are the one I want, one I need, not my so called husband. Please don't push me away Tae, it will kill me. I will suffocate without you."
Taehyung looked at Kookie with pained eyes. Yes, he can certainly believe that. Cause that's exactly how he feels too. But he can't avoid the fact that Kookie might feel different when he remember about his husband.
"You might feel different once you get your memory back."
Kookie gently dragged Taehyung to the sofa and made him sit on a chair and keeled in front of him.
"I will not." Kookie said with a look of determination and Taehyung gave a sigh at that.
"How can you be sure?" Taehyung asked in a pained voice.
"Because I know who I love." Kookie replied as he looked straight in to Taehyung's eyes. "I might not know it here-" Kookie put a hand on his head, "-but I know it in here." Kookie moved the hand to his heart.
Taehyung looked at the man kneeling in front of him who had the softest smile in his face.
"I feel the emotions along with my memories, Tae. I felt how much I loved my paintings, how much proud I was about them. I even felt the anger that one time I saw me and Chim fight. But I never felt any love for him Tae. Never. You are the only one in my heart and it'll only ever be you."
There was a few seconds of silence as Taehyung considered this. And suddenly, his heart began to hope again.
"Are you sure?"
"I am. If you are willing to have me, I promise you Tae, you will have me till the day I die."
Taehyung gave a soft laugh in relief. A life time with this angel? Yes, He would definitely like that.
"You are mine?" Taehyung asked with a smile on his face and Kookie eagerly nod his head.
"Yes!! And don't you dare doubt it again." Kookie mumbled as he climbed on to Taehyung's lap. "Now kiss me you fool."
Taehyung wrapped his arms around his boyfriend and waited till he settle in his lap before capturing his lips in to a soft kiss. After few seconds later, Kookie pulled back from the kiss and looked at Taehyung with a twinkle in his eyes.
"Oh by the way, my name is Jeon Jungkook."
