Chapter 45: 45: Soulmate

Ignore mistakes, please

Third person P.O.V

"I just want to tell you something. He is back, Jungkook found him." Those words Jimin heard from Yoongi on call and that's it, he was now on a private plane with Yoongi. No words were spoken but he could sense that his whole body was filled with a very different kind of feeling.

He was anxiously waiting for the plane to land in Seoul so that he could see the person he was longing for.

Yoongi could also sense the tension in Jimin's body but he preferred to remain silent. He himself was too much surprised when Namjoon told him that Taehyung is in the mansion, a miracle indeed.

When Taehyung was done with long bathing, he wrapped himself in a fluffy bathrobe which was placed near the tub, and opened the door. Jungkook was already waiting for him on the bed. He didn't take the shower as he was waiting for Taehyung, his heart didn't want to leave him.

When he saw Taehyung coming out in a bathrobe, he couldn't help but gulp in nervousness, water dripping from his hair and those prominent collarbones full on view did something to his full body. He slowly got up from bed and took steps to reach the boy who was standing in oblivion.

Taehyung yelped in surprise when Jungkook grabbed his wrist gently.

"I told you to knock on the door." He muttered, leaning closer to smell the addictive scent of the other mixed with that of the fresh body wash and shampoo. Taehyung could feel Jungkook's warm breath on his neck so he slightly backed off in nervousness.

"I am blind.. not paraly-" Jungkook cut him off by placing his finger on Taehyung's lips.

"Don't say such things.." He said in a husky voice and in the next moment he again picked up Taehyung who just rolled his eyes in a little annoyance.

"Why do you always pick me like that? I just told you I can walk!"

"But I want to do it," Jungkook replied with a smile when he finally placed Taehyung on the bed and handed him the clothes in his hands.

"Here you go, I am going to take a bath now. Don't leave the room on your own. You can press this button and Hoseok will come if you need something." Jungkook handed him a bell that Taehyung took and placed it on the nightstand after tracing the boundary of the wall.

"Leave." Ignoring the other things, the younger again said in a stern tone and Jungkook just smiled in contentment before leaving the room.

Once he heard his retreating footsteps followed by a door-shutting voice, Taehyung took a sharp breath.

"This is getting difficult for me. I don't want to fall again.. not at all." He muttered to no one with a glint of sadness in his voice but he was totally oblivious to the fact that the raven-haired heard that clearly whose heart was pierced on hearing those words, and his eyes were stinging due to the same sensation of salty water filling in them.. but he gulped back the feeling.

"I still hope... that you will love me back, one day you will angel."

Hoseok quickly prepared the dinner for all, he made sure to make Taehyung's favorite dishes after so long. Everyone was so happy yet sad for the boy and had mixed feelings regarding the sudden change they had all faced in previous months.

"Let me call them all," Hoseok said while placing the food on the table. He quickly went to Jungkook's room who was in the bath but still called him, then he went to Jackson who quickly rushed to the dining room.

After that, he went to Namjoon's room but he wasn't there, so his steps took him to Jin's room. Oblivious of the situation he opened the door slowly but closed that immediately with the same speed. Why??

"I love you Kim SeokJin," Namjoon mumbled and froze on his spot when he felt that Jin wasn't giving any reaction.

What if he thinks I am weird.. no.. he likes me. I can see in his eyes. But why he is looking with blank expressions?

Namjoon panicked and quickly backed off from Jin who seemed to snap out of the echoes of the words that he just heard.

"I- I am sorry. I am not telling you to do the same. I just wanted to tell you about my feelings. Damn, you can reject me..." The younger of the two said while moving away from Jin but halted when Jin grabbed his hand.

Looking up at Namjoon's eyes, he finally opened his mouth.

"Why should I reject you?" Jin sighed lightly and Namjoon frowned at the words.

"Hunh?"

"I am asking..why should I reject the person... I love."

"No, I mean you can reject me if you don't- wait WHAT??"

"Yes, dumbo. I also l- like you. But I never got the courage to tell you about my feelings. I thought you must be interested in girls." Jin said with a smile and biting his lips, he slowly got up and hugged Namjoon.

"I love you too Namjoon... love you Joonie." He mumbled in the crook of the other who felt everything like a dream, too good to be true, too shocked to react to this.

Jin slowly pulled back and smiled, looking in eyes of the younger.

"I am so happy that our feelings are mutual but I hope you won't ruin our feelings like that brat did." He chuckled slightly when Namjoon shook his head with wide eyes.

"Am I dreaming?" Finally, Namjoon croaked but regretted when Jin pinched his cheek so harshly.

"Ouch! Jiniee~"

"See.. it's real. You dumb head, you are the one who confessed first and now you are acting all strange." Jin huffed and pushed back the other male.

"Oh my God! This is all real. You really said it back?? You? You really love.. really?" He blabbered and when Jin sighed and turned back to leave the room, Namjoon back-hugged him.

"This is the best day ever. I am so happy.. so much happy, Jiniee." Namjoon's slightly quivering voice showed how much happy he was as he inhaled in Jin's hair from the back. He slowly turned to face him.

"I will love you till my last breath and will never let our relation fall... never ever." His voice was full of emotions and Jin found himself drowning in those emotions. At that point they didn't get the idea when their faces were too close... their heartbeats were synced with each other.

And..... that's the moment when Hoseok opened the door.. seeing them in such a situation, he quickly closed the door.

But both lovers heard the voice and backed away quickly in shock. Jin coughed awkwardly while Namjoon was rubbing his neck in nervousness.

"I- I think.. I should help Hoseok... yeah.. um.. yeah that's good." Jin blabbered and sprung out of the room with redness lingering on most of his face and ears.

"Ah... He is so cute." Namjoon mumbled with a smile, with a loudly beating heart leaping in joy.

Dinner was silent as Jin was avoiding Namjoon, Hoseok was avoiding both of them, and Jackson was avoiding everyone.. too much busy with delicious food. On the contrary, Jungkook was totally focused on Taehyung. No one said anything and after dinner, Jungkook wanted to help Taehyung to his room but the latter denied it. So in the end it was Jin who helped him to his room.

Once Jin left the dining room, Hoseok took his chance and went to Namjoon, he nudged his shoulder playfully, catching Jackson's attention as well.

Namjoon gave him a questioning look and Hoseok just grinned in response.

"Why are you giving me such a creepy look Hoseok?" Namjoon asked irritated by the look.

"You took the first step.. don't you?" His smile got wider on words.

"What?? Can you speak clearly?"

"Come on.. I saw you both.. this much close." Hoseok smirked, making a quick move to grab Jackson's neck, dragging him close to himself.

"What the hell! Hoseok." Jackson growled at him but Hoseok just giggled pushing the other far mumbling a sorry to the red-faced Jackson.

"Wait.. really?" It took a small moment when Jackson focused on Hoseok's words, actions and snapped his head towards Namjoon who was about to leave the room quietly.

"Where are you going, at least tell us what he said?? Did he say yes?? If no.. let us help you." Hoseok beamed but again grinned when Namjoon hung his head low with a smile.

"Well I think.. he doesn't need anyone's help," Jackson smirked and Hoseok facepalmed when he noticed how a Mafia right hand was blushing in front of him. Love really do make you a fool, right?

Jin tucked Taehyung into bed and left as Taehyung was feeling sleepy. He was internally screaming about whole situation. His heart was taking flips on thoughts of the confession but at the same time, he was feeling utterly distressed due to Taehyung's sufferings.

He kissed Taehyung's forehead before leaving the room but heard some voices in the living room.. like someone was arguing. Glancing down at the almost sleepy brunte, he took quick steps to see the commotion.

When the car stopped in the mansion, Jimin quickly rushed inside without waiting for the other blond. Yoongi was getting nervous at that point, he had no idea how Jimin is gonna react in front of Jungkook and Taehyung. He himself was feeling so awkward to see the person who changed his brother by 360 angles for the first time.

He quickly followed the younger blond and entered the living room where Jackson and Hoseok were laughing about something.

"W- where is he? I swear if this is some kind of prank. I will kill you, JEON JUNGKOOK!" Jimin yelled at top of his lungs, getting everyone's attention.

Hoseok and Jackson shared a confused look but Namjoon came running, hearing his voice. Jungkook also heard him and came out of his room with a bewildered look.

"Jimin ah.. please calm down first," Yoongi tried in a low voice but pursed his lips when Jimin gave him a death glare.

"What's happening here?" Jungkook asked in annoyance on hearing a loud voice but his heart dropped when he saw the familiar blond standing in front of him... his face was red with anger.

"Y-you?"

"Yes me! Where is he? Where is my Taehyung?" He launched on Jungkook who was just standing in fear, a fear of losing his angel once again because deep down he had a thought that Taehyung might choose his best friend over his ruined love...

"J-Jimin?" Jungkook croaked out seeing a ragging blond clutching his collar with both hands so harshly.

Jimin shook him completely and directly look into Jungkook's eyes, staring down his shaken-up soul.

"Believe me Jeon Jungkook, if he is really here... I won't-"

"J- Jimine-" Jimin stopped his movements on Jungkook's collar when he heard him... he heard the same deep voice, the voice that belonged to no one else but his Taetae.

With a loudly thumping heart, Jimin slowly turned to the side from where he heard the voice. Jungkook felt those shaking hands on his collar sliding like no energy left in them.

"T-Tae??" Jimin's voice was so low but enough for the boy who was standing at a distance taking support from the wall.

Taehyung was about to doze off deeply when he heard a loud noise from the living room, he quickly got up and went in the direction of the voice.

"I-is that y-ou Jimine?" Taehyung asked in a broken voice and stretched his hand a little.

"Taehyung... Taetae???" Jimin took a moment and realized that the person who was standing in front of him was his best friend... his Taehyung. He quickly ran to him when he saw Taehyung stumbling forward in haste but getting bumped into a table, causing him to fall on the floor.

Everyone gasped when Taehyung fell on the floor. Jungkook wanted to help his angel but Jimin acted faster and grabbed the shaking figure of Taehyung.

"My God... it's you... it's really you, Tae, my Tae.." Jimin cried out while touching Taehyung's arms and body to believe his eyes and his ears. It was really nostalgic to have the dearest person in your arms after he was announced dead, it was really undefinable.

Taehyung did the same... he slowly moved his hand to trace the other's face. His shaky hand was tracing his soulmate's face all while he was crying continuously.

"Jimine... my Jimin.. oh God. I thought you left me like.. everyone." Taehyung said in his broken voice, his palm still on the blond's face.

Jimin felt another pang in his chest when he felt that Taehyung wasn't looking at him. His heart clenched painfully when he realized that his best friend can't see him.

Crying his heart out... he took the palm of Taehyung that was on his cheek in his hand and kissed his palm.

"I can't leave you. I am sorry for leaving you... so sorry for leaving you at that time. I am sorry Taetae.. please forgive me.." He said in between his sobs and engulfed the brown head boy in a tight hug.

Jungkook was frozen on his spot... so were Yoongi and the others. Everyone could feel the pain in those cries of two best friends...

Yoongi glanced over at Jungkook who was just watching both crying friends with a fearful faces. His hands were turned into fists while his face was showing a single fear, a fear that he would be left alone because he stand no chance.

Jimin broke the hug and wiped Taehyung's tears with his thumb, gently kissed his forehead, and helped him to get up with utter care. Once they were standing properly with Taehyung in the arms of Jimin, then Jungkook heard the words he was dreading... he thought that he is going to lose his angel once again.

"I am here to take you with me. We are leaving this hell."
