Third person P.O.V

Taehyung opened his eyes slowly, hearing the chirping of birds and children outside confirming that the new sun was already up. Just when he tried to move, he felt a hand in his hair while a leg entangled with his one leg. He could sense the person who was cuddling with him right now.

But one thing he didn't notice was that the person was wide awake. Jungkook was already awake and watching his angel with love eyes. He did sleep last night in his arms but his fear stirred him in his sleep.. the fear of losing other again. He woke up early morning but didn't budge a bit as the angel in his arms was looking so comfortable in that position.

Taehyung thought that Jungkook was still sleeping due to the very soft breathing of the other that he could feel on his neck. He slowly and carefully moved to get up and Jungkook allowed him to do so.

He traced his hands on the walls to reach the bathroom and Jungkook also followed him quietly, carefully watching each step so that the other won't fall. Once in the bathroom, Taehyung let himself breathe loudly. His heart was again thumping in his chest loudly... placing his hand on his chest he mumbled.

"What's wrong with you?? Don't tell me you are doing the same as my first heart did to me." His voice was full of emotions. He surely remembered everything that happened last night. When Jungkook was about to kill himself, he couldn't believe that due to him the other was on the verge of suicide.

He took his time to refresh and change into fresh clothes. Jungkook was waiting for him outside when the door was knocked on by Baekhyun.

"Breakfast is ready.. come with him." He said with a smile and left. Jungkook took a mental note to thank him for everything he had done.

Taehyung came out of the bathroom and could feel the gaze on himself. His wet hair wasn't helping Jungkook who wanted to do something but definitely, he can't.

"Y-you can use clothes from the cabinet," Taehyung stuttered and started walking towards the bed but his foot slipped, before his fragile figure came into the contact with a hard floor, he felt the same muscular arms around his waist in the same position.... when Lisa saw them.

"L-let me go." Taehyung stuttered again, slightly pushing Jungkook with his hands on his chest, his face was getting pink.

"Never ever." Jungkook breathed out but the position was not so good for Taehyung so finally, he straightened both, hand still resting on Taehyung's waist.

Taehyung couldn't protest further when Namjoon entered the room and took Taehyung with him. Jungkook took a quick shower and also went to the room.

"Thanks, Mr. Byun for letting us stay for the night." Namjoon thanked him sincerely and Jungkook also nodded. Taehyung was silently eating the food while listening to others.

"So, Taehyung. I am sad you know." Baekhyun started and Taehyung felt bad for telling the wrong name to others.

"I am sorry Hyung for not telling you my real name. It wasn't like I don't trust you, I trust you a lot because you are the only one who helped me in the time when everyone left me." Taehyung said, clutching the fork a little tightly and everyone went silent once again at his words.

"It's ok.. but can I talk to you later?" Baekhyun demanded and Taehyung nodded. After breakfast Jungkook and Namjoon were sitting in another room while Baekhyun was in his room with Taehyung.

"I am not going to force you to decide anything. But please whatever you are gonna decide... do it wisely." Taehyung understood what he meant.

"I am so confused, hyung. He left me saying he doesn't love me anymore. He hates me... he-" He stopped midway, feeling overwhelmed all over again.

"Listen Taehyung, life is not like a bed of roses. Such kind of ups and downs make it what we actually call life. Its the part of our experiences.. they teach us how to cope with our problems. He said that to you but he wasn't feeling the way he said. Anyone can sense guilt and regret in his eyes. Everyone deserves a chance Taehyung.. even you too. You also deserve a chance to be happy. Give him a chance to prove himself.. to prove his love for you." Baekhyun said in a calm and sweet voice and Taehyung was silently listening to his words.

Baekhyun grabbed his hands and tapped on the back.

"You are not a burden Taehyung, not for me, not for my organization. But I just want to see you happy... that's all." Taehyung quickly hugged him and cried in his embrace. Baekhyun made circles on his back with a smile.

"You are so nice Taehyung... I know you can do it. You can forgive him and can forget that too. I believe in you, sweetie." Taehyung just cried in his muffled voice.

"Jungkook calm down please." Namjoon tried to calm him as he was continuously pacing back and forth in the room.

"I don't know what he will decide. What if he.." Jungkook said while grabbing his hair in frustration. He can't imagine living without him again.

Namjoon got up and held his shoulder.

"I can see in his eyes... he still has a bit of feeling for you Jungkook. Let's hope for the best.." Jungkook just nodded in a daze...

All he can do for now... is hope.

Taehyung was sitting on his bed, Baekhyun was standing leaning on the wall beside the bed and Chanyeol was sitting on the chair. Jungkook and Namjoon entered the room and could sense the thick awkwardness.

Jungkook was feeling so much nervous, he didn't want to hear a no from the other.. but if the other said so... he won't be able to do anything.

Baekhyun gestured for him to come forth and he did so.

"What is the guarantee that you won't hurt him again?" He started in a stern tone.

"I will prefer to die instead of hurting him," Jungkook replied with a bat of eyelash.

"Can't you just step out of this killing conversation?" Taehyung retorted and all looked up at him. He was sitting with his arms crossed on his chest.

"I am sorry, angel." Jungkook apologized in a soft voice. Baekhyun and Chanyeol quickly stole a glance with an amused look.

"He wants to talk, we are outside. Please respect his decision.." With that Baekhyun and Chanyeol left the room. Namjoon was standing behind Jungkook and was silently praying to hear only a yes.

Jungkook slowly took a step closer to Taehyung who quickly looked up and patted the bed next to him. Namjoon thought to give them time and left the room as well.

"I thought... thought a lot. For the sake of all those moments we spend.. for the sake of the love you once shared with me," Taehyung started with a smile, fidgeting with his fingers.

"I.. am giving you a chance Jeon Jungkook." He compiled and Jungkook let out a breath that he was holding for God knows how long. Without wasting any second, he engulfed the boy in his arms. Letting his tears fall on his shoulders, letting his sobs touch other's ears, letting his heart get warmth once again he cried in happiness.

"Tha- thank you. Thank you, love. Thanks a lot." He mumbled continuously and Taehyung was just sitting in the position. He didn't hug back the raven-haired.

"But keep that in mind Jeon Jungkook, something has changed between us... we won't be same." Taehyung said casually but that hit Jungkook's heart so badly. He slowly pulled back, realizing that Taehyung didn't hug back him. Feeling the pang in his chest he smiled and leaned forward to kiss Taehyung's eyes.

"I will *smooch* change it the way *smooch* it used to be." He stated but Taehyung didn't reply just kept his eyes closed. But his eyes opened when he felt the other's lips ghosting over his own.

"You will love me again... and I can wait for that time. Till my death, I am never ever going to get exhausted from waiting for your love, angel. Your love is the only desire that is burning in my heart. I let down all the walls around me for you, you can do whatever you want. Because I am just yours.. in this life and so forth." Jungkook confessed in his deep voice, his breath fanning over Taehyung's lips as he sealed his words with a sweet peck on the corner of those plump lips.

Taehyung was feeling his lips on his skin with closed eyes. His heart was fluttering at the touch just the way it used to be months ago.

"Then.. wait," Taehyung broke his own trance and quickly got up from the bed. Jungkook was still smiling through his tears. He can't believe that Taehyung is going to be with him again.

"Will do." Taehyung stopped for a moment in his tracks hearing his words and felt his lips curve up slightly as his back was facing Jungkook.

Soobin was in Taehyung's room whining that he is leaving. It was the day when Taehyung was leaving for Korea.

"I will come again Soobin and next time I am sure I can see your pretty face too," Taehyung said in his sweet voice and Soobin hugged him tightly while Jungkook was just watching him with a smile. He was feeling his life complete although he still had to regain the younger's love and trust... but he was still happy.

He handed a cheque with a huge amount to Baekhyun as thanks for all the things he did for him and Taehyung. Baekhyun denied to accept that but when Jungkook said to keep that as a charity, he accepted.

Taehyung hugged his savior with teary eyes.

"I am very thankful for everything you had done for me. I don't know what had happened to me if-"

"Shh.. everything is fine now. Your surgery can be scheduled for next week in Korea. I will visit you there... don't forget about me, Hanseol." Baekhyun joked and Taehyung smiled through his tears.

"Bye, everyone... thanks for taking care of me." He said to everyone as all were gathered to say goodbye. Children were crying and whining but thanks to Jungkook who loaded a room with so many toys and snacks for the children so that they can feel better after getting separation from the angel beside him.

"Hanseol Hyung, that black-haired Hyung is so nice.. he said that he will take care of you and will love you. You should also do the same hyung." Soobin said in Taehyung's ear and Taehyung slightly smiled at his words and nodded his head slightly.

Taehyung was feeling sleepy but he didn't want to sleep as he could feel that Jungkook was sitting next to him, and must be watching him. He decided to avoid his presence by plunging the earphones into his ears. He leaned on his seat and closed his eyes. Just then, he felt something warm on his hand and felt someone sitting in front of his legs.

"W-what?" Jungkook didn't say anything but he placed his head in Taehyung's lap while sitting on the floor.

"I just want to make sure that it's not a dream," Jungkook said, his voice very little and Taehyung couldn't believe how his hand slowly made its way to the other's hair... slightly gripping the soft locks and massaging the scalp.

Taehyung didn't reply after that because soon, he felt soft snores coming from the older's lips.

How he could have such an effect on me.. even after all that? You are again giving me hope Jungkook...

A smile formed on his lips as well, he also closed his eyes and fell asleep with Jungkook at his feet.

Namjoon just gave them a glance and he smiled.. thanking God.

"I miss you Jiniee." He mumbled with a pout that end up in a sweet smile thinking of the biggest surprise for his love back at the mansion.
