Chapter Forty-Eight

"I'm sorry, baby," Jungkook whispered against his lips before attacking him with kisses again. The brunet laughed lightly, smiling widely as he allowed the ravenette's lips to attack him. "Better now?" He asked once he pulled away.

Taehyung nodded, smiling up at him as he wrapped his arms around his waist, resting his chin on his boyfriend's hard chest, "Much."

"Seriously though, want to go to the dance with me?" He asked with hopeful eyes-eyes Taehyung could never say no to, and he found himself nodding his head in response.

"What's the dress code?" The brunet asked, pulling away from his boyfriend to lean his back against his locker with his arms folded in front of his chest.

"Formal, but nobody listens to the dress code and just wears what they wanna wear," Jungkook replied with a small shrug of his shoulders as he stuffed his hands in his jeans pockets. Taehyung nodded, puckering his lips in thought.

"I don't have anything that's formal, but I have casual clothes," he stated, mainly to himself but the ravenette heard him loud and clear, causing him to take a step forward.

"Do you prefer formal or casual?"

"Well, I'll dress formal if I have to, but I feel like causal is more for me, you know?" Jungkook nodded, reaching up and tracing his boyfriend's bottom lip with his thumb.

It's only been a few days since their breakup scare, and since then, Taehyung and Jungkook have been practically glued together. The ravenette was scared that Taehyung would change him mind again and breakup with him and mean it this time.

He's been trying not to smother the younger by being by his side as much as he could, but after what happened scared him. It scared Taehyung, too, and he genuinely didn't understand why he would even think breaking up with Jungkook was a good idea in the first place.

He regrets even thinking about it, and he definitely regrets putting Jungkook through all that heartbreak and scare, because he was also hurting when he decided to breakup.

He felt like he owed it to Jungkook for everything he's done for him. The olde went out of his way to do so much for the younger-things Taehyung didn't think anyone would do for someone they barely knew at the time.

"Dress casual, because I'm dressing casual."

Taehyung laughed lightly as he sent him a small nod, his eyes shifted down onto the floor as the older took a step closer to him. His gaze snapped back at him, smiling softly as Jungkook dipped his head, capturing his lips.

The kiss was sweet and tender, showing Jungkook just how much he cared for Taehyung. It was a loving kiss, one that took the brunet's breath away as his hands clutched the thin fabric of his shirt, his knuckles turning a ghost white.

"There's something else I need to talk to you about," Jungkook spoke once he broke the kiss, to which Taehyung hummed, "My parents will be back in town Saturday morning, so what do you want to do?"

Taehyung felt his stomach drop, causing him to feel a little queasy as he slumped back against the lockers behind him, his arms wrapping around himself as he looked down the hallway, "Um, I-I don't know. I don't think I'm ready to meet them."

"Why, baby?"

The brunet boy's gaze shifted back to his boyfriend, their eyes locking, and that was when Jungkook could see the raw and genuine fear in his eyes. He could feel the fear, too, and it terrified him that he was able to feel something like that just by looking into his eyes.

"Because, if I meet them then they're going to ask questions I'm not comfortable answering. Once they find out I've been staying at your place without their permission, and we've been sleeping in the same bed-it's just too much, Kookie."
