When The Tiger Lilies Bloom | Taekook

8. Fallin' Forevers

He shook his head, smiling ever so softly to let the prince know that it didn't hurt him. He was past the stage where desires can ail him and make him weak. Jungkook has learned to accept that sometimes your need is fulfilled and want is abandoned and just like that, you move on with what you got, what you have.

The time traveler doesn't believe in miracles. For him, the only miracle is the man in front of him, long pretty eyes gaping at his every move as if they were memorizing him solely. The plump lips parted a little and flushed cheeks were like a blossom of long-awaited spring. Hansung makes him weak. Weak enough to not let go and stay there forever, even though it will never happen. Their gaze lingers at each other for a moment, as if it's their last meeting.

'I want to forget you so bad that all I ever want is all your wishes to come true. If I can, I would give you the world, but here you're just asking for a kiss as if it meant the whole world to you. How pathetic can I be?'

Hansung couldn't help but ponder over the emotions bubbling up inside his chest but he didn't let it out. It was suffocating him that he knew the answer to most of his questions. He knew what would happen if he broke the rule if he did the unimaginable thing. Yet he hung back a little before leaning in, ready to face the world which has already shown the real colors to him. Hansung feels depleted to seize the consequences of his desires, but the aftermath of fulfilling the dream led him to the edge. And he inhaled the scent of Jungkook's sweet lavender and closed his ocean blue eyes.

If it's only easier for Jungkook to explain what it feels like to be snuggled closer to a warm chest on excruciating winter snow. If it's only possible for Jungkook to gather the bewildering pieces of his brain and register what was happening around him. His whole system stopped working, and the heat rushed through his whole body. He was trembling like a petal fallen from the newly bloomed flower, but it didn't feel bad. In fact, the feeling was actually refreshing. While he was flying with the wind, empty head and heart in bliss, his posture was flawless like an excellent dance move as he landed softly on the mud. Instead of the scent of leaves and fallen petals blending with the mud and last raindrops, it was the sweet fragrance of tiger lilies that took over him. And Jungkook felt weak on his knees. Weak for Kim Hansung.

It didn't take a lot of time for the prince to figure out what he wanted the most from fate, from Jungkook. A chance. He wanted a chance to make Jungkook never forget him even if Hansung will not be there, even if Jungkook can't come back to the past and meet the prince again. He wanted Jungkook to remember him, forever and always. That's why he leaned in to press their lips together.

The soft tingling sensation bubbling in his stomach was none other than the butterflies that Jungkook never thought he would ever feel. The feeling was surreal. The feeling of Hansung's soft baby pink lips against his pouty ones. The tenderness stays there on the soft skin, hearts wavered before thumping faster and the souls tangled up in bliss. Hansung tastes like the fresh mint, refreshed and filling him with a newly discovered fascination. It was the eternal pleasure Jungkook could ever ask for.

The long fingers of Hansung left his cheeks to curl around his smooth raven locks, eyelashes fluttered against his cheeks, and their noses touched lightly as he captured Jungkook's lips. The said male had his hands curled around Hansung's waist, tightly pressing their bodies together when he registered what was happening. Each time he takes a whiff, Hansung could feel the scent of cherry blossom filling up his nostrils, taking him to an ecstatic realm. Jungkook tastes like bittersweet chocolate, as Hansung continued nibbling on his lips and moving ever so softly as if he was healing a wound, soothing a crack. They craved more, more touch, more taste, more heat, more and more of each other.

It took Jungkook a moment of courage to suck on Hansung's lips as if they were the most precious thing in the world. He pulled the lower lip of the prince between his, a very courteous move made Hansung's heart go wild but he leaned in for more. Their closed eyes were not thinking anything other than the taste of each other. They can't get enough of how their lips fit perfectly, like the lost parts of a puzzle finally together to complete it. Jungkook's thin upper lip and full lower lip captures Hansung's pink ones again and again, in a twee and slow motion.
