He is Mine (TaeKook Love Story) (18+)

Chapter 13: JUNGKOOK

It had been a long day. The last few patient fans still queued to come and see us. It was always so nice to connect with the fans face to face, but the hours spent greeting hundreds of people were long and tiring.

I gazed at Taehyung, he was smiling and playing with a young fan, doing silly faces. I felt a pull inside and had to look away.

A young woman had appeared out of nowhere and she stood in front of me, smiling. She saw me looking at Taehyung and her smile widened, her eyes sparkling.

"This is for you and Taehyung." She looked at me in earnest, passing the boxes over the signed posters. I snapped out of it.

"Ah hello, thank you." I smiled.

The two small boxes were beautifully wrapped and decorated with large silver bows. I bowed my thanks. She said:

"It's really important that you both open them at the same time, together." She pointed at Taehyung at the other end of the long table and then back at me. Then blushed and bowed, flustered.

"They are form all the fans here in Seoul, we made a collection and decided together what to get you..." she was emotional, unshed tears twinkling in her eyes. She beamed at me and then at Taehyung who happened to see her -they exchanged energetic waves.

"That's beautiful, thank you. I really appreciate you coming over here today and seeing us, it's wonderful to see you. I am really grateful for the presents and I'll make sure we will open them with Taehyung, together, straight after this, OK?" I reassured her and smiled showing my bunny teeth. That always seemed to cheer them up no end.

"Would you like me to take a picture for you, or sign something?"

She nodded furiously and smiled through the tears. She passed me her phone and while I was taking the selcas she said:

"We wanted you guys to know how much you guys mean to us and that we will always support you and love you, no matter what." She sniffled.

I passed her phone back and held her hand, gently.

"Thank you. I really appreciate that and I will tell Taehyung what you said. I know he will feel the same."

It was time for the next person to come and speak to me, so she had to move along. She held on to my hand for as long as possible, until the very last tip of a finger.

"Remember what I said!" she exclaimed. She walked away, wiping her tears.

Glancing at the boxes, I wondered what was in them and why Taehyung had to open them with me.

"Hey, you ok? That was a long one, huh?" I said to Taehyung when we were stretching our legs after the fan sign event. We were all hungry and tired and desperate to go home.

"Yeah I'm ok, I'll survive." His smile was tired but still dazzling. It took my breath away.

"Listen, there was a girl today who brought us something..." I started.

"Us? You mean all of us?" he asked.

"No, just me and you." I said, trying not to sound excited about it.

"Oh, well let's see it then."

"No, I think we should wait until we get back. I just wanted to tell you I had them and that I promised her we would open them together." I said, matter-of-factly.

With our bellies full and in the privacy of our dimly lit room, we got comfortable. Tae removed his jacket, revealing his gorgeous, slim but shapely arms. The sleeveless black top emphasised the pearl necklace even more, his slim waist was feminine and supple. My mouth felt dry. When he lay down on the bed like a movie poster, I temporarily lost the ability to speak. How beautiful could a person be?
