Someone's got to stop the song Jungkook mentally screamed. Why did he choose this restaurant to meet with someone Taehyung sobbed.
🎶
Do you remember the time When we fell in love?
Do you remember the time When we first met, girl?
Do you remember the time When we fell in love?
Do you remember the time
🎶
Jungkook got up and walked up to the jukebox. Taehyung has been coming month here. Since that fateful day 7 years ago. When Jungkook decided to walk away. It was the same restaurant where same Jungkook had proposed to Taehyung 10 years ago.
Taehyung came here every month on same date, sitting and thinking what went wrong!!
He had dated during these years, but nothing materialized. And for the time he had dated, he never came here with anyone. He just couldn't.
This restaurant was THE place. Known for getting only couples and that too during very special dates -anniversary, proposal et all
7 years ago Jungkook decided to give it up all and move to SK. They were living their dream here in NY. Why did he give it all up. Taehyung was a well known TV actor and a musician here.
Jungkook was the most sought after singer and performer in NY.
Then why?
Taehyung had been looking for this answer for 7 yrs now!!
He had always known that Jungkook had moved on. He had news coverages even after going to SK. He was a celebrity and the most famous one amongst the younger ones. He was bound to make news with everything he did.
Jungkook’s dates were news
His friends were news.
Even his silence was news.
Taehyung never escaped his Kookie.
Jungkook seemed like nothing was earth shattering in what happened. He just/moved on/.
Taehyung wouldn't want anything lesser for his kookie. He wouldn't wish lesser "I wish things were different Kook. I wish. But only if..." Taehyung thought.
And then, their eyes met as Jungkook changed the song and turned. Taehyung wasn't as strong as he thought he had made himself in these years. Taehyung's stomach turned into a whirlwind of butterflies.
Taehyung tried to look away. But he couldn't.
Because Jungkook was looking straight into his eyes. Possibly his soul too. Why Kookie, why. Look away please - Taehyung wan ted to say out aloud.
And not surprisingly Jungkook heard. Like he always did. Taehyung need not say it.
Jungkook settled in his chair on the table . It was on one side of the restaurant. Reserved always most expensive.
Taehyung thoughts betrayed him again -
The person must be very special. As he seemed to book the place and come much in advance to wait for them
He never did it for me!! I'm was the first one always. What is it that is so special in this person.
'Taehyung stop it. It's none of your business. Also you aren't waiting for anyone, please leave!!! Come back next month and mop over your whys again !!' He thought.
//
Jungkook was walking back from the juke box. When his eyes met Taehyung. Why is he looking at me. Why . What does he want me to do.
Should I go and talk to him? Oh but the eyes are suddenly sad and lost. Maybe he isn't looking at me, he is just gazing into a blank like always
Jungkook thought he was making Taehyung uncomfortable.
It took everything in him to not go up to Taehyung and ask how are you doing? He went and sat back in his booth. Thinking -Why Taehyung whyyy Why did you not stop me?
Why did you not come behind me? Why did you never ask me the reason?
Maybe I would not have immediately told, but if I would have told anyone, it would have been you, only you, always you Hyung.
Jungkook wanted to say this all aloud. It's been 7 yrs
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Jungkook remembers the day. It was just a couple of months after the 3rd anniversary of engagement. They wrapped up their day and were returning to their home. They were staying in the same building at different floors.
The decision to not move in together, yet was mutual and consensual. Both Had parents visiting from SK quite often and thus this arrangement made sense to retain both apartments. Anyways they were practically together after and in between whatever time their work commitments allowed.
Jungkook retired to his apartment and as soon as he turned on the lights his phone rang. It was not a regular time for his parents to call. Hope all was well and he picked the phone with this prayer. But his panic set in the moment he heard his Mother calling his name.
“Jungkook, can you come home?” “Mom, what happened. Are you fine?”
“Please come back Son. We need you here. Will tell you everything when you come.” “Sure Mom, we will be there” Jungkook said trying to calm his mom down.
“Jungkook, please don't bring Taehyung. That poor soul always gets very worried. We will tell him when this whole thing resolves itself. It will be just couple of days. Hope you agree baby.”
His mother said.
And Jungkook agrees. He knows how soft Taehyung is. How sensitive he is. "I will leave him a note and will come back to tell him whatever shit is on there.” Jungkook thought.
Jungkook called up his manager and asked him to help him with a ticket home. And He started packing. It was middle of night, he didnt want to wake up Taehyung. The other one had a early morning schedule.
Leaving texts wasn't their thing. It seemed impersonal to both of them. They were old school. They left each other handwritten notes. So Jungkook wrote him a quick note, went to Taehyung’s apartment and left it inside the small box both of them had installed next to the door - for exactly for this reason
Hey Tae,
I need to leave. Have to be home for sometime. Let me sort things and call you in couple of days. Don't worry, nobody is dying!.
Love Kookie
Taehyung woke up. And when he didn't hear the doorbell go at the usual time, he reached for his phone and dialed his Kookie. The phone came switched off. It immediately put his mind in action. He wore slippers and headed for Jungkook's apartment and while waiting for the lift saw the mailbox.
It had a corner of red paper showing in the mouth. He went to and pulled out the letter. Breatheeeee Taehyung Breathe. Its fine. He must be on flight, that explains why his phone is off. Taehyung was the more secure one always. He never got into overthinking. He will wait. For Jungkook's call.
And he waited,
24 hours,
48 hours,
72 Hours,
Today was the 5th day since Jungkook had left. He seemed it was enough time and one call attempt wouldn't be called a disturbance. Taehyung pulled out his phone and called. It went on a ring. Complete ring. But it went unanswered. Maybe he isnt around. Maybe he is with someone attending to something. Maybe he was busy. Maybe phone was on silent.
But definitely now seeing a missed call, there would be a call back. The first instant Jungkook gets a chance. Thus Taehyung waited again.
24 hours since he called and no call backs. He broke their rule of no Texts and messaged the next day.
📲Kookie, I am getting worried now. Please Talk to me.
He knew he would never get a reply back. Jungkook was last person on this planet to text to and fro. But he kept his hopes. Another day passed by. It was a week now. He called Jungkook back. It went unanswered yet again. But this was high time Taehyung got some answers. So he called back again immediately. Jungkook finally picked up after few rings.
"Kookie!!!" Taehyung sighed. Just sighed and didnt say anything else. He couldnt say. Listening to Jungkook's voice after a week was all he needed.
"Tae, I will call you back. Give me sometime"
And before Taehyung could say anything, Jungkook cut the call. The moment felt like a punch to his guts. This was unfair he felt. Absolutely unfair. He can call back whenever he gets time. Taehyung mentally gave a hair flip. He isnt gonna sit back like some clingy partner moping about it. He finally put on make up after 8 days and left the house. The TV production team was stalling shooting Taehyung’s scenes on his request.
The drama he was shooting was a periodical one - and he was playing a warrior. It raked in TRPs like the channel had never seen before. His role was enhanced and he was a part of practically all episodes aired for at least 50% of screen time. It was his duty to be there, financial losses otherwise would follow.
Taehyung was anything but not dishonest to his first love - Acting. He started shooting for the next screens. The site was a new one and little on outskirts. Everyday going there and coming back took couple of hours each side.
The schedule was draining physically but it helped him with the exact distraction that was needed. He was sorted, absolutely secure, But a human after all. He started feeling this was all intentional. Deliberate even. If Jungkook wants to call or visit, he will have to do that on his own now. Taehyung was done stalling and planning all movements around expectation of a call. His TV cast had planned an offsite which he had given the regret for earlier.
He messaged the Unit producer,
📲“Wooshik Hyung, is the offsite capable of taking another member” The reply came almost immediate.
📱“Tae, you were counted in anyways. I will text you the address.”
He has always been thankful for his cast members and other members of the unit he made his best friends there. And they took care of him as he was their won blood. He would feel safe around them always. He needed them. They will allow him to do anything with no questioned asked. That is how Taehyung and his entire TV squad of best friends landed in Hawaii for a vacation. It was something he really needed. He Could use It. Although it was a mere 4 days Taehyung felt much more at peace than when he left.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
It had been nearly 20 days since Kookie had left without any trace. They say any new habit can be inculcated if you repeatedly do it for 21 days. Would this mean kookie had gotten used to living without Taehyung. More importantly does it mean that he is used to living without Kookie By now. It was nearly a month and and the young had stopped keeping count of how many days had passed it must have been nearly a month When the call came -
And picked up the call and said
"Finally somebody's got time to call me back"
Jungkook sighed so loudly that Taehyung could hear it clearly. He said
"You are the one to talk. Moreover this is what the 1st thing you have to say to me after a month, then I don't even see the point of calling."
Taehyung had lost all will to fight by now.
“I have very limited things to say but I am all ears for whatever you want to say and I feel you should have a lot to say by now.” Taheyung answerd
"I do, but not right now. Not like this. Lets talk at another time, maybe?" Jungkook replied teeth clenched. What Taehyung hated was how the sentence seemed ending in a question mark.
Maybe?
"Yeah, maybe" Taehyung answered sadly. The call ended there
The next few calls were made to score a point of keeping the nose in air. It was supposed to add a tally mark as to who called how many times. They never Talked in those calls. Nothing about who's coming back to whom. What is happening. Where do things go from here. Nothing At All. The robotic calls also came to end around 5th month end of Jungkook Leaving. Taehyung had forgotten how may buckets he had cried. And how many nights. The stage today was - his eyes were devoid of any tears. It was always a permanent Blank stare.
He could easily switch on his camera persona. He was an even bigger star now, especially with this brooding mystery quiet and broody look he carried. We have always been enamored by mystery men, right?
Taehyung and Jungkook were enigmas. Both of them were always in the news. His next few trips with his GANG were even more photographed. He seemed genuinely smiling and happy only in those times. The squad really took care of him. Especially Choi Wooshik. He was his shoulder to cry on, his confidante and his advisor. The bond was so clearly visible that everyone when they spotted one, started looking for the second one. They were inseparable.
Taehyung learnt to pick up his pieces and get back to life. Wooshik set him up on few dates. From TV industry, out of it, from his extended friends circle. Nothing lasted more than 2-4 weeks. That is until Wooshik made Taehyung meet Kim Seokjin. He was the biggest TV star the country had ever seen. That guy suddenly one day quit the entertainment industry and just went puff. Once Taehyung Met Jin, the kept meeting for months. Wooshik felt it like a small win.
At the other end of the globe, Jungkook made his own waves. He was the most sought after singer in SK. Thier K Drama industry was very cash rich and Jungkook had no complaints. He was completely off the radar for first 6 months and then he dropped a concert - His First ever in SK - Seoul. He also didnt know what to expect from it. But when the concert sold out for 2 consecutive days in first 15 mins, He realised the responsibility. He dug himself into working towards the concert, which was 3 months post that. He was a very humble and friendly guy, especially with their staff. The lead choreographer responsible for putting the show together was Korea’s best - Jung Hoseok. The dancer left a very big and immediate impact on Jungkook. After a year of coming to Korea, this was the first person Jungkook opened upto. He finally felt he found someone to call a friend and He can make something of himself here.
Both Taehyung and Jungkook went on living their lives. The biggest mistake they did was - they didnt heal the wound. Never. It was bound to cause pain again and again. Whenever Jungkook saw Taehyung and Jin’s pics his heart would break a millionth time over. Whenever, Taehyung saw Jungkook and Hoseok interact over Social Media and the the video coverages, his eyes would well up.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
And here we were - at this restaurant 7 years later.
Taehyung was on verge of crying and ready to leave Jungkook stood up and waved to someone towards the restaurant entrance. The warmth that spread over Jungkook’s face made Taehyung feel a dagger going through his heart. Taehyung couldnt manage the strength to look at the person Jungkook was waving at. He cannot do that. The best way out he felt was, he would just go to the washroom which was in the direction he was facing. Then after sometime he can leave without looking at them.
He dashed towards the bathroom. What he saw in the mirror was a jolt for him. He thought he has a game face and in his control. No!!! The image in the mirror was of someone who looked like he had seen a ghost. Eyes shot red, face flushed, lips chapped because of incessant tugging. How could 15 minutes of the situation DO THIS to him. He tried controlling himself and the more he tried, the ore his breathing hitched.
After a while he was struggling for air. Last thing he remembered was hitting the fire alarm in the washroom before passing out. He woke up with sharp light piercing through his eyes, hitting him right in his head. He closed his eyes back with a jolt. Again opening with care this time to make a shade with a hand. He couldnt just figure out where he was. He was feeling this incessant buzzing in the ear
He looked around carefully and then he gasped as he realised. He was at a hospital! Hospital!!
When did this happen?
How he came here?
Who brought him?
His answers will have to wait. There were some people around him. People he loved, people who had a worried look on thier faces, people who looked bloody tiered. Seokjin and Wooshik were both standing all drained out on either side of his bed. Taehyung moved a bit and that brought attention of both on him.
"Tae, oh my god, thank god you are awake"
"Tae Tae Tae, you scared us man"
Both spoke at the same moment to Taehyung.
"Sorry Hyungs, I am sorry. What's all this. How am i here?" Taehyung looked at both one by one as he spoke. He was also trying to sit up by now.
"Jin called me saying he was headed to the hospital with you and asked me to come with your last medical reports for records." Wooshik said and gestured his hand towards Jin
"Jin Hyung - you got me here?" Taehyung was utterly confused.
"What is the last thing you remember Tae?" Jin asked. "I was in the washroom of the hotel - you know which one - and i felt difficulty breathing. I hit the fire alarm and then I dont remember anything." Taehyung answered.
"That was 2 days ago Tae. Dont panic. You were under sedation to calm down your nerves, seemed you really enjoyed the sedation and slept like a log for 2 straight days" Jin joked.
"TWO DAYSSSS!!!!" Taehyung raised his eyebrows as much as his body allowed.
Jin Continued, "Anyways, before rushing to the bathroom all cried up, what do you remember Tae"
Taehyung lowered his eyes and said, "I was at the restaurant and then i saw..." His eyes shot up at Jin and he continued, "Wait a minute, why did you say before I rushed...?"
“Hmm, Because I was there with someone who saw you rushing inside and gestured to me to look.” Jin said with a fond smile encouraging Taehyung to out 2 and 2 together. They had spent years together and Taehyung knew something more was there. He racked his brain as fast as it could work and frowned, “Jungkook?” is all he managed to say.
“Yes Tae, lets get you some soup and we have a story to tell.” Jin buzzed for the nurse and asked her to bring soup.
“So I was there with Jungkook at the restaurant. Yes. I heard in the news that he was in NY. I have heard you whine about the guy for 6 years now and seen that ring hanging around your chain for far too long to make sense of whatever you had told me. So, i used Wooshik’s contacts in entertainment world to get to Jungkook. Once he knew I was wanting to speak he was ready almost immediately. Tae we spoke for hours , now practically days, and My heart breaks to say what i am going to say.”
Jin Said. He was all serious now.
Wooshik was holding one of Taehyung’s hand in his. Rubbing in comforting motions over the knuckles.
Wooshik was holding one of Taehyung’s hand in his. Rubbing in comforting motions over the knuckles.
Taehyung's breathing was faster now. Jin held his other hand and continued,
"You both have been either very stupid or very unfortunate or both Tae"
"You both need to talk, and right now asap. I wont leave this place till you do. So you want to do it now, we can step out or you want few minutes to gather yourself?
Because that boy has been sitting outside on a bench since 2 days Tae and the staff is having a hard time out"
Taehyung's grip tightened on both their hands and he was unable to form words.
Jin calmed him by massaging his scalp and Wooshik just held Taehyung's hand equally tight.
"We are stepping out Tae. You be brave and do this. Its only way out. Rip that bandaid Tae." Jin said as he moved out with Wooshik. Leaving a very shocked and speechless Taehyung behind. He was now looking the room door from where his comfort zone exited. Awaiting a storm!!
After few second the door opened and entered a very frail looking man. Sadness engulfing him all over. Eyes definitely cried out and unsure just like Taehyung.
"What's all this Koo..Jungkook?" Tae decided to take control.
Jungkook's heart broke and sadness visible when Taehyung corrected himself to not call the other Kookie.
"Jin hyung called Tae. I said yes because I thought he wanted to give me some message from you" Jungkook said
He suddenly shook his head and wiped his tears, and in 2-3 leaps he was at the bedside holding Taehyung's hand.
Taehyung was needless to say, speechless and motionless now.
"That's not important Tae, but what i am going to say now - is!!!" Jungkook continued "Tae, I Love you, with everything i have. Always had and never stopped
I wish we were more mature that time but yes I am responsible for most part of loosing the 7 years that we did.
Will you allow me a chance to explain Tae?" Jungkook was sobbing by this time
"Why now Kookie, Why now?" Taehyung couldn't help but say it. With as much love as he always had for his Kookie.
"Because I made a mistake by not doing it earlier and I want to not do it again. I want a Re do. Please Tae, please dont deny me this!"
Taheyung wiped Kookie's cheek Gesturing him to continue.
"Ask me again Tae - Finally someone got the time to call me - ask me that again" Jungkook said.
Taehyung was very confused for a while before it hit him. This was something he had told Kook when he called for the first time after being MIA for a month. His tears were flowing down his cheeks . Jungkook on other hand was all welled up.
With a Broken voice Tae asked, "Finally someone got the time to call back?"
Jungkook smiled through the tears and said, " Tae I am so sorry. I hope you are doing ok. Are you fine Tae?"
"I am fine Kook. And why are you sorry. What happened Love?" It was difficult to make sense of what they were saying through muffled chortles.
"It was so simple Tae. Why did we not do this then?" Kookie was saying now. The sobs became full outburst cries. It took them about 10 -12 minutes to get back to talking The story and whys and all were yet to unfold. The family at Jungkook’s side all stayed together and was very affluent in the country. They owned the biggest conglomerate of businesses - Telecom, construction, banking Education, health care -You name it they had it. It was one of the reasons Jungkook moved out early in life. He wanted to pursue music and he had other cousins who showed business acumen.
But with shit load of money and power, comes shit load of problems too. Jungkook has a youngest cousin who got into wrong company. All vices included. The night Jungkook’s mom called him, was the night the cousin had been driving under influence and met an accident. Thankfully other party didn't get much hurt but the cousin bled - profusely He was critical and need blood transfusions. The blood group being very rare and 2 of them in family had it - Jungkook being the 2nd one Blood bank had couple of bags but that wouldn't be enough. The police and legal work was the second demon they had to handle. Thus his mom told him to come without telling anyone. They couldn't afford media attention.
Jungkook was narrating and Taehyung was absorbing. His face expression showed the pain he felt for Jungkook his cousin and entire family's ordeal.
"The first time you called Tae, I was in hospital. The blood needed to be collected and tested before transfusion. So I told you i will call you back. Plus I didn't want staff or any other legal officer there to know your name"
Jungkook wiped Taehyung’s tears and said, "But you didn't call back kookie. I waited" Taehyung kissed Jungkook’s hand.
"I did love, I did. Some one picked up and said you were in outskirts area and shooting. And that you will call me back" Jungkook was in pain anyone could see
"No, how's that possible. Do you think I wouldn't call you back... wait a minute. Someone picked up my phone? That's not how it happens at the set. Plus no one except Mingyu knows my passcode. Then how...? " Taehyung was shocked to say the very least
And Jungkook just gave him THAT look. And Taehyung realised.
Mingyu his manager had the fattest crush in Taehyung. He was very jealous of Jungkook and this was a known fact. Not that it mattered to Jungkook or Taehyung. But then pieces fell together. Taehyung shook his head.
"I cannot believe that ass will stoop to this level. He knew we were engaged. I am so sorry Kookie "
"Please hyung, nooo. Not your fault. Anyways I didn't get your call, and then I see you in Hawai with your squad - eating enjoying and waving to cameras. It made me angry Not jealous just angry that you don't even care that much about me. I felt taken for granted. You remember my insecurities in the beginning. You made them all go away. But whe I was alone, they came back attacking Tae. They all attacked me again. I forgot how you made me feel, I just remembered what you did - not call back. And I spiraled down that route where you rescued me and made me the performer the world knows and loves. It's not me - it is a manifestation of you hyung - all you - I forgot that. I am sorry sorryyyyy sorryyyyyyyyyy hyung"
Jungkook crashed his head to Taehyung's chest and cried. Taehyung let him cry. This time he wouldn't cut Kookie in between. He wants to let it unfurl. After few minutes when Jungkook’s breathing became quieter Tae said,
"After all this when you called and I picked up I chose sarcasm!! I shut you out. I have known you would not respond in such scenarios but I chose my anger and pride. I am sorry Kookie"
Tae hugged him tight "I felt you were liking not being responsible for an emotional mess like me. I felt I had made you see how much better life is when I am not around. So i shut you and the entire world I created here - out." Jungkook said while sitting up holding both of Tae's hand to his chest
"I am sorry Kookie. I promised you I would always be there, even when you shut me out. We knew this might happen, but I wasn't there Kook" He grabbed Jungkook’s hand in an apology.
"Anyways 5 days ago, Jin Hyung called. And said he needs to meet me about us. Honestly Tae, I had all these years thought that you guys were together."
"Nooooooo Kookie. Aishhh nooo" Taehyung shouted in between.
"I know that, now - Tae" Kookie said. "But imagine my predicament when he called saying he needs to be talk about you and me" Jungkook continued.
"So I said sure. I wanted to see the guy who replaced me i guess" Jungkook wiped his nose with his tee shirt and said.
"Ahhh of course you did, still a competitive brat I See." Taehyung smiled through his tears.
Jungkook continued
"He told me Tae, he told me you hadn't dated in 6 years. And He told me you still have this" Saying this Juingkoom pulled out Taehyung’s chain and the held the ring in his hand.
"and I told him me too".
And he pulled out his chain too, the pendant had Jungkook’s engagement ring Needless to say this moment was too much and broke the dam of tears. After few minutes, sobs reduced. They were cleaning each other's face from the tears.
"I also told him Tae that all these years I have also loved only one person, you. Life Gave me a beautiful chance once Tae, I spoiled it by not following my heart. I spoilt it myself. So right now, I just want to follow my heart Tae. I don't know if I am THAT lucky but I want to make amends Tae. I loved you the moment I saw you, I loved you more when we were together, I loved you even more if that's possible when we were separated. It's been you and only you, Forever and always Tae, remember when I told you Forever and always. Irrespective of what you say today, it will always be you.
I want to ask if I have a chance to rebuild our life again If you would give me a chance again? If you say yes, you will make me the happiest person to ever walk the planet If you say no, I will still walk away happy knowing I tried. But it will be either you or no one hyung. I cannot promise to not feel insecure again, but I can promise to come and confess to you Will you give me this chance hyung?
Am I worthy still?"
With last few sentences, he removed his chain and the ring from that. And with last sentence he sat on his knees hands on the edge of hospital bed, ring in his palm
"Will you give this to me again?"
And he waited.
"You will talk to me?" Tae asked in between his sobs
"Yes Tae"
"You will never go without double checking things with me"
"Yes Tae Yes"
"And you will start habit of texting"
"Taeeee.... noooo" Jungkook squealed.
"Cmon now show me how the happiest man who walks the earth looks like"
Taehyung said picking up the ring from Jungkook's palm and removing his own chain.
He removed the pendant of the ring from his chain and placed that in Jungkook's palm. And when rings were placed on rightful fingers, they gazed into each other. Finally the lips met. It was nothing Like thier first kiss in teenage years But it was definitely a first kiss of its own kind. Slow, savoring and reassuring. Both put every held back emotion in it.
Jin and wooshik who were watching from the window very unabashedly, started clapping and entered the room. They were sooo soo happy for both of them. They had seen Taehyung suffering for 7 years now. And whatever they knew, they knew Jungkook suffered equally. This time they decided and /talked/ about savoring each moment. Making time out to relearn things about each other. They were nearly 30s. The boys they knew were left behind. They were grown men, at the core still same but definitely newer aspects of personality also there now. The next month same Date they all met at the same restaurant. The entire close gang was together with Taehyung and Jungkook.
Jin stayed extra quiet the whole time. Very unlike Jin.
So Taehyung asked towards the end, "what are you thinking Hyung"
"Hmm. Too many things. But most of all, about who was the villain in your story.
Was it Jungkook’s cousin, Was it Mingyu?
Was it Me who made him think we are together Was it circumstances?
Who was it? "
Jin was looking at no one in particular.
Taehyung was just thinking of saying something but before he could, Jungkook jumped in.
"It wasn't anyone Hyung. Cousin wasnt even in the story;
Mingyu is just a side character in the story; You were an angel in disguise Hyung; Circumstances are just plot.
The original villain story is us Hyung. We were flawed.
We didnt follow all the relationship advise we always read about. We fell to our anger and pride. Our insecurites preyed on us.
We wish we were better, but we are only human.
And that is precisely the reason we get a chance at redemption. Second chance is all we need because we weren't ready for the first one. People don't change fundamentally, but they do evolve.
Tae gave me a second Chance and I am hellbent on leaving him surprised" - Kook said.
When he picked his head and looked at everyone, each eye was tearing up. He looked surprised and looked at the love of his life.
Taehyung was having 2 constant streams flowing down his cheeks.
"When did you become so mature Kookie" he asked in between sobs. The same people gathered every year at that restaurant. It only kept growing better.
The interactions, the jokes, the domesticity, and most especially thier Love.!!
