Wings and Crystals (Taekook)

Chapter 9

Jungkook's POV

I couldn't believe that this was the boy that had saved me. I know that I already saw him from far away when I was trapped in the crystal, but when he was closer, he was even more gorgeous. I couldn't help but observe his feature once more, finding the boy very cute and handsome at the same time.

During our little talk, I teased him a little bit to see his reaction and make him all flustered. He reacted super cutely and made me want to coo too many times.

What can I say? The red looks so good on him.

I was thrilled to know that he would consider letting me live in his house since I didn't really have a place to go to, having fallen from Heaven and all. Plus, I had my little idea on how I would convince his mother to let me stay here.

So we talked until his mom came home. Taehyung talked about his life in general, his passions, his school. For the last part though, I knew there were things he didn't want to tell me because he stuttered a lot and avoided my stare with all of his might.

It made me frown. I knew there were some things bothering him and I was determined to know what, to try and help him.

Then, I talked a bit about myself. Of course, I avoided the subjects that had hurt me before, but I still told him about where I was from and what I liked and disliked and we laughed a lot and had lots of fun.

"Say! Do you really live on clouds? Cause you must-" Taehyung couldn't finish his sentence because we heard keys being inserted into the keyhole of the entrance door and the lock clicking open, footsteps entering the home.

"Tae? Baby? I'm home!" A feminine voice was heard through the house, making the brown-haired cutie turn to look at me.

"You're sure you've got this under control?" He asked me with uncertainty, making me smile brightly.

"Of course I do. But you'll have to go first so your mom doesn't become crazy seeing a stranger in her house, okay?" I chuckled and patted his thigh as a sign for him to get up. He sighed, stood up and started to walk to the door.

"I'll follow you right after." I said while placing my hand on the small of his back, following him, to guide him out of the room.

Just kidding, I only wanted to touch him.

I noticed the red hue painting his cheeks and I couldn't help but smile again, stopping my steps at his bedroom door and giving him a light push.

He slowly walked to the front door and I leaned against the doorframe to listen to their conversation.

First, I heard the mother question her son about why he had a red face and looked all flustered.

Sorry, that was my fault. I had to stop my chuckled from coming out.

Then, he said what made me move to go down the stairs and introduce myself : "M-Mom, I have a friend over that I would like for you to meet."

Her eyes immediately shot up to me once I went down the stairs, boring holes into my skull. She looked just like Taehyung, but a female and older version. For a few seconds, I was scared that she would jump on me and kill me.

"Hello." I said with as much assurance as I could, trying very hard not to stumble on my words or say something inappropriate. "My name is Jungkook and I'm your son's friend. Listen, I have a few problems at home and-"

"And he was wondering if he could stay here for sometime... until it gets all better?" Taehyung cut me off, talking with huge puppy eyes, which turned the attention from his mother back to him.

Wasn't I supposed to do that..

It seemed like it had some effect on her because the woman's glare immediately softened and she looked at me again, walking closer to my body.

"Oooh.. Poor Jungkookie.. of course you can stay here! As long as you'd like!" She said while hugging me tightly against her. After a few moments, she pulled back and switched her attention to the other person in the room. "Tae, would you please prepare the guest room for your friend?" She asked sweetly, smiling at him before going over to her things that she had left in front of the door.

My cutie Tae looked at me with a bright smile and whispered to me : "It worked!" Before starting to walk and then stopping.

"Do you want to come and help me or...?" He wondered while shooting me a glance.

I nodded immediately, delighted at the idea that I could spend time with him again.. alone.

Smirking in my head, my legs started to follow him as I hummed, looking around at the cozy little house.

"It's very pretty here, Tae" I told him while looking at all the matching colours and decorations and pretty styles of wood covering the floor. It was all very simple, but very elegant and comfortable-looking.

"O-Oh well thank you Kook" He replied shyly, hurrying up a little more to get to the room, probably a bit flustered. I cooed at him and smiled, also walking faster to catch up with his fast steps.

We both arrived to the laundry room at the end of the hallway of the first floor and Tae went over the cupboards and fetched a bed sheet from them, then going over to a drawer to get a few blankets. Afterwards, he motioned for me to follow him again and I did, looking around for the second time, until we reached the second floor.

He passed by his bedroom and continued towards the next door, opening it to reveal a smaller room than Taehyung's one, the walls being a navy blue with a stripe of boats print going around the room on the middle of the walls, a small bed in the corner with a bedside table placed beside it. A small lamp was sitting above the piece of furniture and there was a desk pushed against another wall, the third wall had a small closet in it. A fluffy gray rug was covering the floor and a small round lamp was hanging from the white ceiling.

"Cute!" I said enthusiastically when I entered the room, smiling to Tae.

"Glad you like it, this is my old room from when I was younger. I brought you more blankets than you'll need in case you get cold and you can start placing your things like you want since you'll be staying here for a while- wait, do you even have any things?" He asked me when he noticed the lack of bag or whatsoever on me.

"Ah.. no I don't. Might need to do a bit of shopping?" I said while chuckling, tapping the wallet I had in my pocket.

Forgot to mention that I had stollen it from the JPT guy I knocked out in the parking of the mountain.

"Oh yeah. Well we can go with my friend that's coming to my house later, he loves to go shopping." He proposed and I nodded at this.

"Okay, then let's do your bed and we can go eat after." He said and we did just that, walking to the kitchen once we were finished to enjoy the delicious food Tae's mom had made for us.
