▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬ ❝ one should always be in love. ❞ ▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬ ⚌⚌ ⠀ ⠀ ⠀ ⠀
WALKING INTO the warehouse was different this time around, too dark and two people down. the blonde noticed this, it was the first thing he saw when the glass lab doors opened with the usual whoosh and he only counted four of his friends. two were missing, two were gone. but they couldn't be — they weren't allowed to be.
"joon?" jimin asked, standing by his lab table with all the questions on his mind swirling in a blue emotion in those blue eyes.
namjoon just sighed, but the blood on yoongis hands kind of confirmed the small boys thoughts before any words could have. "no." it came out like a whimper, and the older male wrapped his arms around his little love as the tears started to stream down his cheeks.
"shh." namjoon tried to hush the crying boy, rubbing his back and patting his hair down, "they're at the hospital, they're going to be okay."
jimin was still crying, his hands fisting the fabric of the others shirt, "you're just saying that because you have to." he cried.
which was true, no one knew what was going on or how things have been since they dropped the two boys off at the hospital entrance. the ravenette would barely able to say anything as well, everything not quite yet registering in his brain as he watched nurses and doctors rush his boyfriend away.
he's not even sure how long it was before a nurse came to question him about what happened, and the vague lie he told about being on a walk with his boyfriend and not seeing the men come up behind them. "it all happened so fast." jungkook had said, "i'm not sure what happened."
"i'm going to go get his doctor and then he will be prepped for surgery, you can go in an see him. he was asking for you." the nurse smiled kindly, leading the way and leaving the ravenette alone outside the room. jungkook had told her they were married, especially after knowing only family members got to go in.
jungkook had to force his feet to move, walking into the room and seeing his baby looking so pale even against the white bed sheets. "hey you." he said, pulling up the chair beside the bed and reaching for the boys hand. "you scared me."
the brunette looked so tired, so pale, but apparently there was still enough energy to cry. the single tears not wanting to stop as they fell down his cheekbones. "i'm scared now." taehyung said. his grip was tight on his boyfriends hand, but the ravenette didn't complain. a strong grip meant he was still here, they were still together. that's exactly how it had to be.
"hey, listen to me." jungkook said with a soft smile, despite the difficulty of trying not to completely break down right now. he couldn't, he was allowed to, not when taehyung was already upset enough. it wouldn't be good for both of them to panic. "remember the walk?" he asked, anything to distract the boy.
taehyung blinked, a sniffle and look of though following, "yeah, always."
"we went out to get wings at that sports bar," a soft chuckle escaped passed the youngers lips thinking of that time, "we talked all night and stayed until they closed the place."
"we drank way too much." there was a tiny smile on the brunettes face. it was small, but it made jungkooks heart soar so high at the sight. so he continued, wanting nothing more than to see his boyfriend smile forever, "we decided it was a better idea to walk home, figured it was only a couple miles. we ended up walking for hours."
the light giggle that filled the room seemed to cure both their moods, a soft and pretty sound needed to be heard. taehyung was still smiling, despite the uncomfortable pain in his abdomen. "we walked so slowly." he thought of that night, when they walked hand in hand and eyes filled with sparkles like the stars sitting happily above them. "we didn't want the night to end." jungkook said, the same look of adoration in his eyes right now the same way they were during that walk, the same way they've always been since realizing how in love he was with the boy.
"and then you got on one knee, right in the middle of the road and you told me you loved me." taehyung said.
"i had a lot to drink that night." the ravenette couldn't take his eyes off his boyfriend, despite the joking, he meant everything he said.
"that's the night i knew i would be with you forever." taehyung said, this time another tear escaped and a few more followed. he saw one fall down jungkooks cheek as well, knowing very well this might have been the first time he's ever seen the boy even consider crying. "we still have plenty of time baby," the younger reached up and tucked some hair behind the boys ear, wiping away the tears as well.
"and i want you to not give up." jungkook added, reaching into his pocket and feeling for the one thing he's been carrying with him for too long. he saw the way taehyungs eyes widened a bit at seeing the silver ring, it was still just a band, but the few diamonds still shone, "because i have too many plans for us baby. i wanted to marry you that night and i still do right now."
taehyung was shaking his head and the tears were falling more consistently now. he covered jungkooks hand and the ring, not wanting to see it. "no, not like this, not when i'm laying here." he started to cry, "this isn't fair for you, it shouldn't be like this."
"baby i don't care where we are or what's happening." jungkook said, "i just want you to be mine." he reluctantly put the ring back in his pocket and reached up with both hands now to wipe away the tears on his face. "i've carries that ring for too long and been too selfish keeping it to myself. i just want you, everything you embody and whatever comes with that. i don't know what i'm doing and i know i won't be the ideal husband but i'd do my best to give you what you want and deserve."
taehyung was sniffling and hating how much he was crying. this isn't how he wanted it to happen, even though it's been on his mind and certainly not the first time the topic has come up. "you'd be perfect kook." he said, eyes wet and blinking brightly up at his boyfriend, "and i want this to be perfect for us, not like this."
"i know." jungkook said softly, still trying to comfort the boy. he kissed his forehead, still holding his hand and feeling the ring burn in his pocket. god he wanted that ring to be on the boys finger already. "we're going to be okay."
