The day we met
Frozen I held my breath
Right from the start
I knew that I'd found a home for my heart
Beats fast
Colors and promises
How to be brave?
How can I love when I'm afraid to fall?
But watching you stand alone
All of my doubt suddenly goes away somehow
One step closer
Jungkook was not fully conscious about everything around them. The flowers, the drapes, the guests and most importantly the person standing right next to him. The crazy blonde who looked too mesmerizing in his white lacy attire. He looked unreal and this was probably why the raven head thought of the entire thing as a dream. A dream that was hopefully going to end soon.
I have died everyday waiting for you
Darling, don't be afraid, I have loved you for a thousand years
I'll love you for a thousand more
But as every minute ticked by he slowly realized that it was his new reality now and not just a dream. Every vow they repeated after the priest consolidated this sudden change in his life even more. The weight of the ring, just inserted in his finger felt a little too burdensome to him. Would I be able to handle it well? That was the only question getting repeated in his brain.
"You both may kiss each other now."
These words were enough to freeze him in place. His breath hitching more when Taehyung stepped closer to him with a naughty smile lingering on his lips. "I dressed up for you today. I hope it made you happy Jeon." He heard him say and then a pair of soft lips touched his own.
They stood there all still. None of them moving. One was too stunned with the touch while the other was just enjoying the reaction. It was a light and soft peck but enough to rattle the ravenette from every part of his body.
"Happy marriage dear husband." Taehyung whispered in his ear and then backed away. They stared at each other for a while before turning towards the cheering crowd. Their eyes landing on the people who looked a little too happy for them.
He smiled at his family. A forced one of course but that didn't matter as long as they were happy. They deserved this after working the entire week for the event. His actions though earned him a scoff from the person beside him.
"You are so fake. Stop pretending Jeon. Your cheeks are going to hurt with that scary smile."
"Don't bother yourself with me. I'll take care of my cheeks myself." Jungkook retorted. He felt like a bickering kid all of a sudden. Taehyung sure did know how to frustrate the life out of people with just his eyes.
He could surely picture how chaotic his life was going to be now. Something the raven head was not ready for. Not even in a thousand years.

"How many people are we going to meet today? They keep coming." Taehyung asked, his head tilted towards Jungkook who was not even sparing him a glance. "Are you going to answer me or what? Stop acting like a fucking jerk."
"I don't know Taehyung-ssi. If you can see I've also been standing here, beside you since the beginning. I'm tired as well but we have to meet all of them. They're here to celebrate our so called wedding." He retorted back. His voice filled with irritation.
"Who said we have to meet all of them? I'm not bound to do that. You can do the fake smile thing all you want. I'm outta here." Taehyung replied and then stepped forward but before he could leave the small stage in the hall, Jungkook held his hand preventing him from doing anything more.
"You are doing nothing of such sort. Just stand beside me and please don't make a scene here. My parents wouldn't like it. Moreover it's you who wanted to get married so face the consequences now." His voice was stern and so were his eyes. The strict aura somehow succeeding to hold the other back from leaving.
"Consequences......My parents wouldn't like it."
He decided to ignore those annoyed murmurings from from his crazy husband's mouth. In no way was he going to entertain even a single action of the person beside him. Jungkook was as it is too tired with everything that had happened in the past few hours.
"I think I'm very special to you since I've noticed that the only person you actually show your true feelings to is me. See! Even right now you are ignoring me because you want to. If it was someone else you would have just given them one of your scary fake smiles or an emotionless nod." Taehyung was having too much fun with the response he was getting. He didn't know why but annoying Jungkook was getting quite entertaining for him. "Are you really going to keep up with your igno........"
"Jungkook! Congratulations on your marriage. It was a pretty decent celebration."
Rolling his eyes Taehyung looked away from the ravenette. Who the hell decided to interrupt me? He thought and locked his gaze at the intruder. "And who might this gentleman be?" He asked.
"I'm Gu Rae-yul. Jungkook's classmate in university and a business partner. It's nice to meet you Taehyung." The male replied extending his hand forward, which the blonde very simply ignored.
"It's nice to meet you too." He slightly bowed instead.
"By the way how did someone so gorgeous even agree to this marriage. Did your husband even tell you about himself or will you be getting a surprise tonight?"
Taehyung could feel Jungkook going stiff beside him and it did not sit well with him at all. "I know everything about him." He smiled. His left arm quietly snaking around Jungkook's right one.
"Oh really! You really told him about yourself Jungkook. Wait! Can you make out what I'm saying or should I come closer?" Rae-yul smirked. His gestures hurting the ravenette deep inside. He felt angry but he couldn't do anything about the truth. Could he?
"Rae-yul stop it. You can go now. I think it's enough greetings for today." Jungkook muttered with gritted teeth. His fisted hands trying to hold back his anger. Something that didn't go unnoticed by those hetero-coloured eyes.
"I've only started. If you don't like it just ignore me. I'll talk a little more with your beautiful husband." Rae-yul snickered and then turned his head towards the said person. "Tell me Taehyung, do you want to know what I was talking about earlier? I bet it must have intrigued you."
"No. It did not. Why do you think I'm standing towards his right?" Taehyung asked him. A smirk sporting his lips. "I just didn't want him to hear any bullshit today but guess what. Annoying voices don't take much effort to reach everywhere. Aah! Such a waste of effort."
"Are you saying that whatever I said was bullshit or did I just hear you wrong?"
"You understood it? Very good." Taehyung exclaimed. "Yes! You just spouted a ton shit of bullshit here. You've done your job now so why don't you just scram away. Our evening his getting spoiled by your presence."
Jungkook's mouth was wide open. He just did not say it to his face? He thought. His eyes fixed on his infinite times crazy husband. In this short amount of time Taehyung had surprised him more than he had ever been in his entire life. One strange human!
"Guess I'll just leave you two alone then. Enjoy your night with your crippled husband Taehyung."
The venomous words brought Jungkook back to the reality. He heavily breathed out not ready to even look at Rae-yul but he knew that he had to get that man away from here. Hesitantly he opened his mouth to speak but Taehyung was quicker. "First correct your vocabulary. Learn the meaning of crippled and then come and talk to us. Till then kindly Fuck off."
"Taehyung-ssi." Jungkook whispered. His stiff body not aware that his adversary had at once left after the insult, since his eyes were only locked on a certain someone.
"Don't hold back." The blonde firmly asserted. He turned towards the other. Both males now directly staring at one another. "Be confident because you did nothing wrong. You are my husband now so there is no need to listen to any of their bullshit. Spit it on their faces. Let them know that you have limits that they shouldn't cross."
"I can't fight them all because they are not wrong afterall." Jungkook had no idea why he said that but something in him just automatically wanted to open up to Taehyung.
"They are not wrong? Then are you wrong? If yes then why? Did you intentionally do this to yourself. No, right! So stop telling your heart that. Learn to live Jeon. Not as a puppet but a person."
Jungkook gulped the sudden lump in his throat. These words stung him deep inside. Was it that easy for someone to see his unspoken emotions? How could this person who only knew him for a week feel more of his pains than his very own family? How was that possible? He really wanted to know.
"Now stop staring at me. Let's go down. Your father is calling us for a dance."
He just nodded unable to say anything in return. Like a lost man he followed the other and then joined the crowd for a dance. There were couples all around them, cheering and smiling for the newly weds but he didn't care. All he could see for now were those blue and brown eyes that were peering back at him with the same intensity.
I'm not one to stick around
One strike and you're out, baby
Don't care if I sound crazy
They twirled and swayed to the songs. The only emotion between them being the intensity of their stare. There was nothing else or maybe something that was yet to be discovered. Something deep and mesmerising just like their eyes.
So lock the door
And throw out the key
Can't fight this no more
It's just you and me
And there's nothing I, nothing I, I can do
I'm stuck with you, stuck with you, stuck with you
"Stop staring at me Jeon. People will think that you love me." Taehyung smirked. His hands gently resting on Jungkook's shoulder. "That's good. Isn't it? We don't want people to know that this is something that I've been forced to do while you only married me so that you don't have to eat dinner with your family." Jungkook retorted back.
His words made Taehyung giggle. "You remember that. I feel honored but sadly it's true. Although now that we're married I can tell you something more about the situation."
"No! Thank you." Jungkook mumbled and then twirled him around. Their bodies perfectly matching the beats of the song as well as the dynamics of their forms.
"Oh come on man. Just because we were arranged it doesn't mean that we have to be bitter and cold towards each other. We can be friendly and civil too you know. It will be much more easier that way."
Friendly? Was it even possible to be friendly with someone you were forced with? How could he do that when everyone expected him to harbour love for this person? He had so many questions in his mind but getting the answers seemed to be impossible.
"I'll try." He gently whispered and then slowly separated himself from the blonde. The crowd started cheering for them again once the song ended. The two still holding onto each other's hand.
"That was lovely kids. You both look great together." Jun-ho happily came towards them. Patting them lovingly on the their heads thereafter. "Always stay like thi......"
But his words were left unspoken when the big doors suddenly flew open. Murmurs erupted from every mouth in the room when a few police officers walked inside.
"We're here to arrest Mr. Kim Taehyung."
______________
1. They are not in love and Taehyung is just teasing him.
2. Since Jungkook can only hear from one ear it is difficult for him to make things out in a loud and crowded place.
I hope it made things more clear. ❤
