Fragile Longing (Taekook) (On Hold)

Chapter Twenty Two

"Not now. Come with him to my café, I need to check something with that kid to be sure. It will be even better if his parents come with him."

Taehyung seem to ponder over the words carefully. Seokjin's seriousness rubbing on on him. "It's not something I can deci.."

"Kim Taehyung."

He stopped, his mind stopped, finally getting it. A little tremor went through his body. "Jin.." His voice sounded raspy. Talking was becoming hard. "What is it? What is it that you aren't telling me?"

"Not like this. Come with him. Before it is late. Though by what I have seen, it is already too late. Still, if there is anything I can do I will. You have to trust me on this Tae. Please.."

He thought, going over Seokjin's words again and again before finally coming to a decision. "Not café. Your home. If it is anything that you are making it out to be, I want it to be at a familiar place at least. Where he won't feel suffocated."

"Then at my home, 7:00 Pm sharp?" The other men's voice was full of disbelief. Cause to make Kim Taehyung agree on something is not easy job at all. But this time and that night too, has taught Seokjin one thing about his friend. That he cares. He cares a lot for that child. And Seokjin knew, it was that care that made Taehyung agree to it today too.

"I will be there." His voice was stiff as he hung up the phone. His mind still not understanding what Jin was talking about. Exactly how horrible that thing is that he couldn't even say it to him.

"Again again you are doing it." A glaring kid made his thought break lose as his eyes fell on the petite body, standing before him, with both hand on waist glaring at him.

No trouble or worry except for scowl on that face. But it wasn't like this that night. The emptiness he saw and the words Jin said, both were getting mixed up together, leaving him in disarray.

"Didn't I told you.." A small soft finger touched between his brows, straitening the frown that was there. "You are only allowed to think about me when I am here. Not any though or even this frown can take your time which belongs to me."

Taehyung's lips twitched, eyes hiding the worry he was feeling for this one who for always seems to be a 5 year old to him rather than 18. Truth to be told, he was getting greedy, to always see only innocence and childishness in this face, he was getting really greedy.

"Psychoooo"

"So my time belongs to you?" He tried to drive his mind away.

"Hmm" That coconut head went up and down with jutted out lips.

"You need to be careful Princess. Most of your words will make others confused."

"Confused?" That head tilted sideway looking with those curious eyes, not understanding his words.

"Obviously. If it was someone else, they would've already thought that you like them or something." He laughs it off, going towards the stove where those eggs were asking for his attention. But had to stop midway when those words left those lips.

"What about you? Do you think I like you?"

Taehyung turned behind, his eyes holding those big ones that were holding him captive. Not allowing to move even a little. "No. No I don't think so." His mind wasn't agreeing, his heart was opposing to every words he uttered. "You have to be stupid enough to like someone like me who cannot offer you anything. Also, don't forget, just because I agree to your every demand doesn't mean that I am not older than you. So yeah. You have to be really really stupid to like someone like me."
