Taehyung couldn't believe how such a beautiful day went downhill within minutes.
Jungkook's tongue was pressed up against his inner cheek and a murderous expression was painted across his face.
Jungkook kicked the man's head repeatedly, blood gushing out of the newly made wounds.
Jungkook bashed his stomach in, making the poor boy cough blood.
One last punch to the nose and he was knocked unconscious.
Taehyung and Jungkook stared into each other's eyes as the rest of the people stared at them.
Taehyung couldn't recognize the Jungkook that was infront of his eyes.
This wasn't his Jungkook.
His Jungkook's doe eyes sparkeled with love but this one's were ablaze out of anger.
His Jungkook lips curled up to form the cutest bunny smile but this one's were forming a psychotic smirk.
His Jungkook's hands caressed his skin softly but this one's were bloody and bruised, curled into fists.
His Jungkook made him feel safe and protected but this one makes fear pool in his heart.
Fear for his Jungkook.
Taehyung broke they're staring and rushed towards the injured man scared that Jungkook killed him, infront of multiple witnesses.
Taehyung crouched down next to the unconscious man and checked his pulse and pressed his fingers against his neck.
Luckily, he was still alive.
Before he could comprehend the situation, he was being lifted up in the air and thrown over a broad shoulder.
A whimper left Taehyung's mouth due to Jungkook's painful grip on his thigh.
When Jungkook saw Taehyung walk towards that fucker, his blood boiled with anger.
Voices in his head screamed at him making his skin crawl.
❝ look Jungkook, Taehyung didn't tend to your wounds, he walked to the injured man.❞
❝ he's afraid of you! ❞
❝he'll leave you, he won't be yours forever. ❞
❝he'll leave you, abandon you, leave you behind, all alone. ❞
Jungkook felt excruciating pain in head,
Taehyung would leave him, Taehyung didn't tend to his wounds, Taehyung cares about a stranger more than him.
He approached Taehyung and threw him on his shoulder, nails digging into his thighs.
Jungkook was seething.
He pushed Taehyung into the car and turned to walk towards the driver's seat
But small hands clutched his grey shirt.
He shifted his gaze to the petite boy, whose pretty eyes pooled with unwashed tears and lips formed a cute pout.
One traitor tear escaped Taehyung's beautiful eyes and down his cheek, almost as a painful caress and that single tear overpowered all the voices in Jungkook's head, his anger evaporated as one tear become two and two tears became too many to count.
Taehyung was crying for him not because of him.
Taehyung was bawling at this point as Jungkook's volatile anger evaporated completely.
❝ Baby... ❞
Jungkook whispered, crouching down and bringing Taehyung in his warm embrace.
Taehyung failed, he promised he'd help Jungkook but he became the cause of one of his outbursts.
Jungkook needed his help, he needed love and Taehyung was scared, so scared for Jungkook.
Fighting for control with your own mind isn't everybody's forte but Jungkook seemed so habitual, so familiar with the breakdowns.
It broke Taehyung's heart.
❝I'm sorry. ❞
Jungkook whispered, holding Taehyung close to his heart, fearing he'd slip away from in between his fingers.
❝ No, I'm sorry. ❞
Taehyung whispered yelled, tightening his hold on Jungkook.
❝I'm trying, I swear but the voices in my head, the compel me to do this, to hurt others, to hurt myself.
It's hard not to believe the things they're saying, when deep inside I know they're true.
I can run from my responsibilities, I can run from the consequences, I can run from your love but I can't run from the demons in my mind. ❞
Jungkook whispered, voice sounding defeated.
❝ You can't run from them, you can't hide from them but you can conquer them.
Don't succumb to the darkness, share it with me, I'll take it. ❞
Taehyung promised, crying harder.
❝ My mind whispers to me in the dark, lonely nights. How can I conquer someone who keeps reminding me the things I want to forget? ❞
Jungkook rhetorically questioned.
❝ I'll stay with you, I'll make your nights less lonely. I'll whisper sweet nothings in your ear, I'll talk to you all night so the voices don't get a chance to.
I'll never leave you, Jungkook. ❞
❝ you'll never leave me?❞
Jungkook question, a broken expression etched out on his handsome face.
❝ Never. ❞
Taehyung said, in a heartbeat.
A lone tear escaped Jungkook's eyes, he hasn't cried since that one fateful night in his late teens but this boy, this boy fucks up his mind to the third degree.
❝ Promise? ❞
Jungkook asked, holding out his pinky for Taehyung.
❝Promise. ❞
Taehyung said, intertwining their pinkies together.
More tears escaped Jungkook's eyes and Taehyung's eyes mirrored the action, they held each other's bodies and cried into the dark, fateful night.
❝-And hey, with a little Fai-aith your tears turn to ecstasy. ❞
Taehyung sang, making Jungkook laugh out loud, Taehyung's soft fingers wiped away Jungkook's tears.
Jungkook laughter rang through the eerily quite night, they're erratic breathing the only sound that could be heard in an earshot.
Jungkook's hands reached towards the the dashboard of the car, returning with two uniquely decorated boxes making Taehyungs curiosity spike up.
❝I bought this as a Thankyou gift, to thankyou for everything you've done for me, Thankyou for giving me everything you are and I hope that I'm enough for you. ❞
❝ You're more than enough, you bring me an insane amount of happiness!❞
Taehyung shrieked, cupping Jungkook cheeks and squishing them, they're really soft.
Jungkook swatted his hands away and opened the box after demanding Taehyung to close his eyes.
Taehyung heard metal rattling and felt the cool metal slide across his neck, he could hear Jungkook fumbling with the lock, Taehyung believed that when he closes his eyes, all his other senses heighten.
Taehyung opened his eyes and raked over the pendant that now decorated his neck.
It had a beautiful white rose which was adorned with the letters Jk making tears brim Taehyung's eyes.
He looked up to see the matching necklace on Jungkook's neck, the only difference was that the syllables carved were Tae.
Taehyung jumped on Jungkook out of excitement and wrapped his legs around his torso.
❝ Thankyou, Thankyou, Thankyou.❞
Taehyung said, pecking Jungkook's lips again and again.
❝I'm yours.❞
Jungkook stated, bringing Taehyung's face closer, so close that they're lips would touch if they moved even a fraction.
❝-And you're mine. ❞
Jungkook growled, smashing his lips against Taehyung's soft one's in a passionate kiss earning a suprised moan form the younger.
Perhaps, this is what love is all about.
Loving everything someone has to offer, cherishing each and every flaw of theirs, getting high off of each and every sin they've committed, admiring every curve and edge, worshiping every inch of their body.
Perhaps, love was never supposed to perfect, it was just supposed to be
Euphoric.
School's taking a toll on me, so I can't update daily, it sucks :(
But anyways please vote!
Have a great day and stay safe ♡
