Tae: Hyung got this as a present from a client this afternoon. But we already have one in the kitchen, so he gave it to me so that I can use it to warm fridge food while staying home alone. Look, it's the smallest size. You don't have to be afraid. I just unpacked it, didn't use it at all.
Jungkook didn't look pleased. Tae smiled and made him sit back on the bed.
Tae: Then you wait here, I will get rid of it, OK?
Jungkook nodded, and Tae carried the microwave out. Getting rid of it, Tae locked the door and went to his locker. Bringing out another night dress, Tae came back to Jungkook.
Tae: Why are you still sitting like that? Here (threw the dress), go and put it on.
JK: (Smiled brightly) So, you agreed?
Tae: Change before I change my mind.
Jungkook grabbed the dress and rushed to the washroom, saying, "Thank you, hyung."
Tae chuckled, looking at Jungkook, and got inside his blanket. He still remembers the day Jimin kicked Jungkook out of their house. Why?
Because that day Jungkook made Tae cry and when they went home, their parents already left for business trip. So it was the best time for Jimin to take revenge on Jungkook. Jungkook wasn't that masculine back then. Jimin easily dragged him out of the house and locked him outside.
Jungkook struggled for the whole afternoon, but Jimin didn't even come to look at him. So, he got mad and decided to walk away. Tae was at his brother's house that day as his adaptive parents also left for a business trip. As he was standing by the balcony, a random whistle caught his attention.
When he looked towards the direction, his eyes went wide as he saw his rival there. At first, he didn't say anything. But when he saw Jungkook kept sitting and lying on the bench by the garden for a long time, he decided to talk to him. So he called him by his name and took him inside.
His brother went out to buy groceries, so he took Jungkook in through the front door. They were both new mid schooler then. Listening to Jungkook's complaints about his cold-hearted brother and selfish mosquitoes out there, Tae laughed a lot. But he couldn't bear to throw him out like Jimin.
So he agreed to let him stay for one night on a condition that Jungkook would have to buy him his favourite Japchae with his pocket money. He didn't keep his promise, though. Thinking about that, Tae chuckled. How could he believe that his SWORN ENEMY would buy him lunch? Ridiculous!
A long time has passed after that. So when Jungkook said, "Let's do it again," Tae didn't understand him. Instead, he made an absurd conclusion. Well, he thought Jiminah was mad at him, but he forgot Jimin's brother was his partner in crime. He must have kicked him out again, Tae thought.
Tae grabbed his Rubic's Cube and started solving it. After a while, he fell asleep.
JK's POV: (chuckled) I can't believe he actually understood what I meant. But judging by his reaction, he's still not ready to accept me. Oh, Taehyungie Hyung! What have you done to me?
I'm dying to see that look on your face when I would say that I love you. A while ago you still were thinking about him, weren't you? It must have been so hard for you, right? Why can't you just forget about him?
When I found you in the bar last night..... you can't imagine how I felt. My heart was broken into pieces, I couldn't breath properly, couldn't bear to see your tears, it was more than painful. I felt so useless, I felt so weak, I felt like crying.
I struggled for a whole day, trying to figure out the reason why I felt to helpless when I saw you on your knees. When our lips met... that's the moment I realized why I rejected all those beautiful girls back in USA. It's not because they were not my type, it's because I only had you in my mind.
Ridiculous, but true, I compared every single of them with you, Tae. An hour ago, when my hyung asked what I would do if you start liking me for real in between this whole revenge drama, my heart actually flattered. When hyung asked what the hell I actually want, I closed my eyes and guess what?
I saw you. I want you, wanna get closer to you, wanna hold you in my arms, feel your heartbeat. I'm back on the same question again. Why can't you just forget him?
I f**king wanna remove his every single touch on your body, remove him from your mind, from your life. I wanna tell you, but I can't. I can't afford to lose you, just after realizing my feelings for you. What if our feeling is not mutual? What if you push me away? What if you start avoiding me? What if you stop talking to me? Just like yesterday morning in university? I can't risk it. Before I'm sure of your idea about me, I dare not.
Wish I could just shout it out that yes, Kim Taehyung, that I, the so-called SWORN ENEMY of yours, Jeon Jungkook, had fallen in love with you since the day you came to my life.
I was just a stubborn dumb*ass, so I didn't realize. Ah..... I can't even believe myself! How could I keep fighting you for all those years? Well, I think I gotta thank your jerk ex. If he hadn't come to your life, I would have never realized my love for you. Or I would? I don't know!
Jungkook took off his clothes and took a quick shower.
Changing into the dress Tae gave him, he came out and got inside the blanket.
JK's POV: Tsk! He doesn't really consider me as a threat, does he? How can he remain so defenseless around me? Well, it's true that I got no problem with my character, but still, he's not straight, he likes boys, and I'm a boy. What if something happens! How can he fall asleep so peacefully?
And here I'm dying, literally dying!!!! Man I just fall for him and he's lying beside me, but I can't even touch him. Or can I?
Aish, Jungkookah! Come to your sense! Don't take advantage of an innocent boy.He had been suffering since he is born. When I first met him, he was just an orphanage boy. But he never seemed to be weak. He was always a feisty tiger, doing whatever his mind was telling him.
Smart and genius, conservative and strong-willed, good at making friends, skilled in dealing with the rival. In short, he is one of a kind. I still wonder how did he end up with that jerk. I really wanna know, but I don't want to remind him again about that dark memory. Instead, I wanna wipe them off and fill his life with the most beautiful memories on earth and heaven. But I wonder, do I really have that right?
Ah, leave it Jungkook.
Now focus on sleeping, you both got match tomorrow.
Tae's POV: It was midnight. I woke up after a nightmare. In dream, I saw Jeon tricked me to go on a hill with him, then he push me off the clip. Oh, God,it was really scary. I could feel every moment as if it's reality.
Normally, whenever I wake up from sleeping suddenly like this, I feel a little cold. But surprisingly, at that moment, I didn't feel cold at all. I felt so warm and secured.
As I moved a little bit, I could feel a heavy breathing on the crook of my neck. And an arm was firmly wrapped around my waist from behind. I didn't flinch like last time. I knew it was Jungkook.
After such a dream, I should have flinched, right? Then why did I feel safe and sound? My brain is again playing tricks on me. Did I really lost my genius brain somewhere that I got from my Hyung? This Jungkook is making me insane since yesterday. I see him even in my nightmares now.
As I felt a bit suffocated in his arms, I turned around and tried to push him a little bit away. Instead of backing off, he pulled me even closer by my waist and whispered, "Don't move, let's sleep."
My spine got a chill. Was his voice always that husky and dominating? It's not the first time we're sleeping together. Then, being wrapped in his arms and chest, why does it feel different? Is it because what we did earlier? Aahhh Tae! Stop thinking stupid things. You know it well, it was all acting, pretending, just a show, to pick on Goff. Nothing else.
Most importantly, you two are lifelong enemies. Even though you made up now, still, it's impossible between you two. He takes you as a rival and that's what you would be forever. It's just he needs you to play with Goff. And as he knows Goff hurt my feelings, he is using me as a trump card here.
This clever bunny, who knows what the hell he is planning to do. No, Tae, you can't fall for his trick.
Though he was cursing Jungkook inside, still, he ended up sleeping in his arm, feeling the warmth of his body. But he definitely wasn't prepared for what he saw the next morning.
