Save Me

"Jungkook! My name is Jungkook! So now you know me. You don't have to keep pushing me away now," Jungkook pleaded softly, his voice reflecting the turmoil of emotions he felt right now. The other glanced at him with tears in his eyes as he remained pressed against the fence, still contemplating his options. "Taehyung," the other whispered, barely audible for Jungkook. Although he was still able to catch it on the wind as he offered a soft smile. "Okay, Taehyung. We know each other's names so that doesn't make us strangers anymore. I just need you to take my hand and tell me you'll climb back over to this side... Or... Or I'm climbing over there with you," Jungkook vowed loudly, trying to persuade Taehyung to change his mind.

Taehyung could recognize the inner turmoil in Jungkook's eyes as he continued to stare at the male desperate to save his wretched life. Taehyung felt his heart beat with the possibility of a better life as he slowly inched closer to Jungkook. Taehyung could see Jungkook's warm eyes light up with hope as he inched closer to Jungkook's hand. "Yes, that's it. Just a little further," Jungkook encouraged softly, watching Taehyung with cautious eyes. Taehyung turned toward Jungkook, following the narrative of his voice rather than listening to the thoughts in his mind. The thoughts that urged him to carry through with his plans rather than listen to someone he'd just met.

Jungkook watched as Taehyung climbed the fence once more. He slipped once and Jungkook hastily gripped onto his clothes for reassurance as Taehyung continued to climb. Taehyung slipped a few more times, concerning Jungkook but he always managed to hang on and continue his trek upwards. Once one of Taehyung's legs was over the other side, Jungkook held his arms up for Taehyung. "Go ahead. I'll catch you," Jungkook offered as Taehyung side straddled the rail of the fence. He hopped off the rail and straight into Jungkook's arms as they both hit the ground with a heavy thud.

Although Jungkook was just glad that Taehyung decided against his first option as he held onto Taehyung tightly. "Are you okay?" Taehyung asked hesitantly, barely audible as Jungkook laughed with relief. "I'm definitely more than okay," Jungkook spoke through his laughter as Taehyung rolled off to the side of Jungkook. His laughter was like a breath of fresh air that Taehyung needed as he stared at Jungkook's side profile. Jungkook turned his full attention towards Taehyung with a relieved smile and Taehyung felt his heart stop. The whole world seemed to stop at that moment as he stared at the man who saved his life. He appeared to be made by the gods themselves as his eyes traced every contour of Jungkook's defined and strong features.

Taehyung choked on his saliva as he struggled to swallow, his thoughts now shifting into a completely different gear. He wondered how he could have ever been so rude towards him in the first place. "I- I'm sorry," Taehyung softly squeaked out as Jungkook placed a hand over his forehead. "You don't have to apologize," Jungkook reassured, not sure what Taehyung was honestly apologizing about. "I'm just glad you listened to me," Jungkook added as Taehyung propped himself up on his elbows. "Wh- What would you have done if I hadn't listened to you?" Taehyung asked curiously as Jungkook sighed softly in response.

"Well, I probably would have still been too late, but I'd have dived down after you. And if that meant we both died, then I guess that would have been my fate for getting involved," Jungkook answered honestly, watching Taehyung's elegant features shift into a frown. "You should have just let it go and walked away when I was being rude to you. There's no need for us both to perish," Taehyung retorted as Jungkook fully turned his body towards Taehyung. "I don't walk away from people who need someone. I told you I'd listen to your problems, so that's what I'm going to do," Jungkook insisted as Taehyung was silenced by the authority in Jungkook's voice.

"Now. What's bothering you so much that you felt this was the only other option?" Jungkook asked, tucking one of his arms underneath his head as he stared at Taehyung. Taehyung felt like he could almost see straight through him as he cleared his throat. "F- first of all, I lost my job... I- I was working as a sales representative at a car dealership. The pay was decent, but commission made it that much better. They fired me due to my commissions tanking... That was the start of it," Taehyung trailed off and Jungkook could see the tears building in Taehyung's eyes once again.

Instantly, Jungkook wrapped his arms around Taehyung, trying to soothe any sorrow he might be feeling. Although, as Taehyung continued to speak, Jungkook knew why he was feeling so hopeless now. "So you practically lost all your friends to a drunk driver?" Jungkook asked cautiously as Taehyung nodded. A soft, choked sob escaped Taehyung's lips once again as Jungkook rubbed soothing circles on Taehyung's back. "Tae, I know it hurts now, but what about your friend in the hospital? What if he survives this? What if he had survived, only to find out that you'd killed yourself? How would he feel without you?" Jungkook asked softly, trying to make Taehyung understand the consequences of the actions he was about to commit.

Taehyung nodded at Jungkook's words, unable to form a coherent response as he sobbed. He didn't know if Jimin would survive, but the possibility of leaving Jimin to handle the death of all his friends like that was heartbreaking. He coiled into Jungkook's embrace, crying as he gripped Jungkook's shirt tightly in his fists. Jungkook tenderly patted Taehyung's back to try and soothe him, his soft hums slowly calming Taehyung. Jungkook was silent now as Taehyung calmed down, his chin resting on top of Taehyung's head as he contemplated saying what was on his mind. "I'm glad you did reconsider though. You can go back home to your family or significant other," Jungkook whispered softly, a hint of bitterness in his voice at the latter phrase.

Taehyung sniffled as he shook his head and laughed softly. "My family lives in another city and I have no significant other. Jimin was all I ever really needed," Taehyung stated nonchalantly, playing with the button of Jungkook's shirt. He didn't want to add the part about only needing Jimin until he'd looked into Jungkook's eyes. Something felt like it had clicked inside of him and he felt at home in Jungkook's arms, but he couldn't very well say that to an almost complete stranger. "Oh," Jungkook spoke before he had time to compose what he was going to say, his feelings of bitter disappointment reflected in his voice.

Taehyung giggled at the short answer Jungkook gave him before glancing up at him. "I- Is there a significant other you need to be going home to?" Taehyung asked softly, his eyes innocent as he laid his heart out on the table. Jungkook seemed to flush deeply as he shook his head in response to Taehyung's question. Taehyung smiled as he leaned closer to Jungkook. "Well then, since you have no significant other I have to worry about and I have no significant other you have to worry about, let me thank you for saving my life and listening to me," Taehyung offered as he placed a tender kiss upon Jungkook's lips. Jungkook's grip tightened around Taehyung's waist as the kiss intensified, sending electricity through both their bodies.
