'Inyeon' A taekook tale

Chapter 14: 'I'm sorry,baby' Chapter 14



He stood there flabbergasted without blinking ,to the point his eyes turned teary.

' Oh my freaking God! No fucken way! Holy shit!' The curses and screams in his head almost deafened him. Through the slightly open ,back window, Kai witnessed his boss and Kook kissing! Well, wrong term... Devouring eachother so savagely he felt like a sick pervert, intruding their privacy. Kai stumbled back, shutting his mouth with his palms, dashed off, entering the first café he found to get a double espresso.... no a triple espresso.

He was in desperate need of a whiskey but getting drunk was out of the question. What a day! First the attack on Kook, Mr.Kim's unexpectedly, brutal outburst and now this! Who ,in their right mind, would have thought their rivalry would lead to...passion? He had noticed some intense looks in more than one occasions, but never did he expect to see them making out. He smiled, shaking his head repeatedly, thinking he intended to fix Kook up on a date with one of his friends. Bad idea! Dreadful idea!

He spent almost twenty minutes at the café,pondering his next move and unsuccessfully avoiding the subject of his nonexistent sex life. Ever since he encountered Seojoon, the negativity and pain found a way back to his dull life. How did he think ,even for a brief moment, that a famous, prestigious womaniser like Seojoon would have been interested in him? He was a nobody...a nothing...but mostly a man... How did it even started?A few kind words. A few intense gazes. A drunken night at a club. A fucken , stupid kiss , led to a confession and a brutal rejection. I suppose he had it coming!After two espressos accompanied by a slight trembling ,due to the caffeine,he returned to the car, only to find them sitting comfortably at the back seat, both flustered.

" Sorry sir...It was crowded." he excused his delay, hiding a chuckle.

" Take us home. Jungkook must rest."

Kai gave the younger the bag he was holding." Your order Kook."

" Thank you, hyung."

Jungkook, with gentle moves cleaned Taehyung 's wounds, applying ointment and wrapping them in roller gauze, taping the bandage in place. " Better?"

" Much better... thanks Jungkook."Taehyung replied in a deep, husky voice and Kook blushed, brushing off his burning gaze. They finally reached home. Kai parked the car outside the front door, Taehyung got out, walked round the SUV to help the younger. Reluctantly, Jungkook held his hand, got out and taking two small strides, he suddenly felt his knees bend weak and everything went blank. Right before he collapsed on the ground Taehyung managed to secure him in his arms." Kookie? Baby?" On a slip of the tongue, plunged in worry, the words burst outloud. He ordered Kai to open the door, they stormed in as the man rushed upstairs.

" Call the doctor. Send him to my room." he yelled and vanished. He brought the younger to his bedroom, laid him on the bed, rubbing his hands to produce warmth.

Jungkook sluggishly opened his eyes, blinking and adjusting to the surroundings. It took him a few seconds to recognise where he was ,so he sat up, gripping on the bedsheets. His gaze prowled around. Duri 's presence was blaring the atmosphere. Her golden -framed photos on the bedside table, hanging on the walls. He could even smell her perfume lingering the air. Her body next to Taehyung's on the exact same spot he was. Cuddling. Making love. His heartbeat begin racing. He was choking. The room was spinning and his shivering body was struck by cold sweat and hot rushes.

" No...I... can't... breathe...get ...me out...of...here... Want...to leave..." he begged throbbing at the dreadful thoughts." Please...I... can't...be...here..." He tried to get up, grabbing Taehyung 's jacket, for support.

" Baby what's wrong? Kook look at me...look into my eyes."

Jungkook stared straight into his deep ocean eyes, concentrating and taking steady breaths, slowly relaxing. His state was an awakening for the man. It was criminally negligence on his behalf to bring him in this damn room after his dramatic adventure and the special moment they shared.

' Asshole! What were you thinking ?' he cursed through his clenched teeth.

" I am sorry baby. It was stupid of me to bring you here." He carried him downstairs, comfortably placing him under the covers, holding his hand till the doctor arrived. After examining him, he informed Taehyung that Jungkook had a panic attack,resulting the previous incident.

" You shouldn't have called the doctor...It was just a panic attack." Jungkook told him the moment he stepped inside the room. He had gained his strength back and was feeling much better.

" I got scared. I didn't know what else to do." He sat next to him in bed, caressing his cheeks, hooking his left arm around Kook.

" I'm sorry I made you worry."

" My mistake for taking you to that room." He sighed." How long have you been suffering from them?"

" Since I was ten. They appeared out of the blue... stopped eight years later but..."

" They returned today." His voice cracked knowing his actions initiated them. Triggered their return.

" It's not your fault. They come and go, depending on my anxiety level. Today was hard but I wouldn't change anything. It brought us together." he answered sincerely , leaning and resting his head on the man's shoulder.

Taehyung could feel the tension in his body, so he brushed his fingers on the younger 's pale face." It wasn't my intention to make you feel worse... I'm truly sorry, baby." His lips touched and kissed Jungkook 's palm.

The younger was thunderstruck at the man addressing him as' baby' and his heart frailed in joy." You called me baby..." His radiant smile melted Taehyung 's heart.

The older sniggered at his baby's flustered face. He certainly wasn't accustomed to it. All women he had dated never blushed at a compliment or at nicknames." You are my baby! Don't you like it? Too cheesy?" His whispering voice held passion and tenderness,but Jungkook decided to tease him a little.

Jungkook giggled." The transition from ' the intruder' to ' baby' is hard to swallow." he joked.

The older was lost for words., having no clue Kook had heard him calling him that. Steeped in guilt and shame, he boosted the younger 's jaw making eye contact." You heard me?"

" Hard not to. You were shouting it."

" I suppose it's one more thing I need to ask sorry for."

Jungkook pecked his lips, smiling playfully." I think I should count the times you apologised and find ways for you to compensate me."

" Mmmm...Are you considering forms of punishment, baby?" He trailed his tongue on the younger 's lips, feeling his hot breath warming his face.

Jungkook gulped, bitting his lower lip. His fingers forming circles on his chest.

" Have I told you how sexy your mole is?"

He touched it, watching Kook blink his gorgeous eyes a couple of times.

" No."

" It's so damn sexy I want to kiss it till you pass out."

" You have a way with words, Mr.Kim." he wiggled his eyebrows, tangling his right leg between Taehyung 's , bending it slightly and pressing it on the older's cock.

" Are you trying to seduce me?" Because If he was it was working.

A deep sigh left Kook 's succulent lips." Perhaps...or I'm just playing with you..."

"Games are dangerous baby!" he warned him, gripping his leg and pressing it more on his hard on." They might get you into trouble."

" I can handle it." he replied boldly." Don't worry about me."

" If we weren't in this damn house surrounded by so many nosy people I swear I would fuck your brains out, baby." Before Jungkook could react , he captured his lips, kissing him so hungrily, he deprived him of air.

His teeth bit his lower lips, where the mole was, forcing Kook to open up as he invaded the depths of his strawberry flavoured mouth, pushing his tongue, twirling it around and at the same time his hands grabbed his ass, moving him forward, rubbing their bodies together, moaning in bliss. Logic was out the window. The noise and footsteps from tbe corridor brought them back to reality. They separated , adjusting their clothes, trying to catch their breaths and calm their raging hormones. Jungkook leaned on the headboard and Taehyung grabbed a chair, dragging it next to bed.

" We should be more careful." Jungkook noted." If we keep this up, we'll get caught."

" Trust me, it's backbreaking to control myself around you. But you're right." Taehyung agreed." We must be extremely cautious, at least for now."

Jungkook 's expression changed from blithely to serious. Their grueling situation came to mind and all of the sudden his guilt took the best of him. The older noticed and leaning forward, cupped his hand.

" What's on your mind? Tell me."

" I understand it's the time or the place to talk ... however I can't help wondering what we are doing. Where will this lead us? I am your son's caretaker. You are my boss. My married boss. Today our relationship took an unexpected turn. Don't get me wrong, I'm not asking for commitments or promises..." he paused, trying to find the proper words to express his feelings without sounding vigorous or impatient." I don't want to get hurt Taehyung. If this is nothing but a game to you or a way to forget your sadness I would like to know. Your... wife will eventually return to claim her family. Her husband and son." His frustration and pain were written all over his face.

The older 's heart stirred in agony and ended up giving him an armful of hugs. Quite risky , considering the foor was unlocked and could get caught at any moment. This rollercoaster of emotions was draining Taehyung to the point he needed to reassure Kook of his feelings but was reluctant and terrified that he would scare him. Consider them premature and hectic. Involuntary, his mind brood over his mother's words, when six years ago he had announced them his intention of marrying. ' What if you meet the love of your life unexpectedly? If the person you are destined to ,comes along and makes your heart burst with love and affection?'

Was Jungkook that person? Was his hesrt beating for him? Or was it just lust and a way to escape his dreadful life? He was more puzzled than ever.All he was craving was to wrap him in his arms, guard him , seal him from the wickedness of the world. Keep him safe. Today's events forced him to grasp the intensity of his emotions and there was no turning back. He wanted Kook. Needed him more than anything. He was willing to fight to be with him against all odds.

" My life is too messed up. Makes no sense. I got myself trapped in a marriage because I was too damn proud to admit the truth and listen to my family's warnings. I can't promise you there won't come a time where you won't question your decision to be with me. Yes, my wife exists and will probably return to manipulate me once again. But this time, I have a clear picture of what I want and desire. You. Only you. It's gonna be a bumpy ride and having you by my side can only enforce my will to shake off my past and embrace a bright future with you and Tata.I know it's probably not what you hoped to hear but can you accept what I'm willing to give you for now?" He directly locked their eyes, being more certain than ever about his feelings.

Jungkook was ecstatic at the sincere, heartwarming confession, despite Taehyung 's reluctance to say more. He also found it premature, considering all the ups and downs of their relationship.." I guess we could try." He skipped breath from being in close proximity.

" That's what I needed to hear, baby! Now , let's move to another important subject. Would you go on a date with me Kim Jungkook?"

The younger laughed, snorting, showing his bunny teeth and cute dimples." Hyungie we can't be seen together in public!" he reminded him." Nobody knows me but your face is famous! Imagine us at a luxurious restaurant, having a romantic dinner, holding hands and laughing! Besides it's not my cup of tea... I'm not into that."

" You're not? What are you into?"

" I love Korean and Japanese food in cozy places..Mmmm ..I adore burgers, hot dogs, pizza...normal stuff."

The man wasn't expecting anything different. Jungkook wasn't ordinary .Luxury and richness didn't matter to him. He loved being unconventional." I'm sure I'll figure out the perfect solution. Now, can I have my answer?" His thumb trailed the outline of his lips." Will you go out with me?"

"I'd love to , Kim Taehyung!" They had every intention of sealing their first date with another kiss but the running footsteps approaching forced them to sit back to their original positions.

" KOOKIE!" Tata bustled inside, holding of course his favourite plushie, heading straight towards Jungkook , hopping onto bed ,as the younger closed him in his arms.

" Hi bun!How are you?"

" Fine Kookie. You? Why are you in bed? Are you sick?" He looked at Jungkook with worry.

" Not exactly." There was no way he would tell Tata what happened so he smiled ,patting the boy's hair.

" Do you have a booboo like Cooky?" He pointed at his plushie." Does he dada?"

Taehyung was taken aback." Mmmm...he is a little dizzy because he skipped dinner." He explained to his son, who made an ' Ooo'.

" I ate all my veggies and fish Kookie!" Tata let out proudly." Had only one snack."

" Good for you ,bun! But why aren't you in bed? It's ten already." He made him sit on his lap, to have a clearer view of his cute face that he showered with small kisses, making the boy giggle.

"Couldn't sleep...I was playing with Micha noona."he stated as soon as he stopped giggling.

Jungkook noticed that Cooky's leg had a bandage wrapped around it." What happened to Cooky?Did he have an accident?"

The boy put the plushie between them." We were playing and Cooky wanted to go down to the kitchen...he fell off the stairs and had a booboo. See?" He showed him the bunny and Jungkook chuckled.

" Did you call a doctor?"

" Micha noona helped him. She's a great nurse!"

Both men laughed at his words." Did you thank noona?" Jungkook asked smiling.

Tata nodded." I gave her a big kiss and lots of hugs. She said I am a great kisser. Is that good Kookie?"

Taehyung shook his head and sighed." That girl talks too much! Someone should stop her."

" Good luck with that! " Jungkook pointed out, attempting to change the subject." Baby, it's time to go to bed. Kiss dada goodnight and go to your room."

Tata pouted, crossing his arms." I want go sleep with you." He turned his head looking at his dada." May I dada?" His eyes held so much hope.

" Baby, Kookie needs to have dinner and rest. Come I'll take you to bed."

The boy hugged Jungkook tight , nazzling his head in his crook " No. Let me sleep with Kookie... please.... pretty please!"

At the sight of his son cutely blinking his sleepy eyes ,his heart melted. However ,Jungkook had a dreadful day and needed rest.

" Let him stay. I could use the company." Jungkook replied, blinking his eyes too.

" Two against one! Do I even have a choice?" he asked in a dramatic way.

" No." The younger and Tata answered at the same time,bursting out in giggles and Taehyung agreed. He got up, walking to the door.

" I'll ask EunJin to fetch you dinner." He left and within a few minutes , he returned with the woman, holding a tray.

" You scared us! Are you feeling better now?" the woman inquired , stirred in concern.

" Yes... I'm sorry I made you worry." he answered pouting." I didn't mean to."

The woman situated the tray on his lap, Taehyung had already removed his son, taking hin on his." Eat. I'm expecting it back empty.." she warned him strictly." I nearly forgot. Your papa called a hundred times. Your phone was switched off and he got worried. His words were ' Tell that little brat to call me unless he wants his bonny ass smacked with my spatula!"

The younger panicked. " You didn't tell him, did you? He is gonna have my head!"

" Of course not. I assumed you preferred telling him, so I made up an excuse that your phone run out of battery!" She huffed." I don't think he believed me! So call him." She skimmed out and allowed the younger to enjoy his meal, before he got scolded by Jin. He could practically hear his papa's yelling therefore he thought it was best to tell them in person.

It seemed he was hungrier than he thought and he finished all his food.Taehyung grabbed the tray, placing it on the desk, opposite the bed.

" You' d better call you papa unless you want him to burge in ,shouting " Taehyung advised him. Jungkook phoned his papa. Jin begun yelling, snubbing at his son's forgetfulness but eventually calmed ,once the younger promised to visit him on his day off.

Tata had fallen asleep on Jungkook 's chest as he sighed heavily to relax from being yet again scolded." I could hear your papa 's shouts through the phone! He certainly is... eccentric." he commented fake shivering.

" You can't begin to imagine!"

" Come to think about it, I'd love to meet them...your family I mean."

" You will eventually!" he promised." But bare in mind we are rather... extraordinary!"

Taehyung roared in laughter." I' m certain I can handle them! All of you!" he answered in confidence.

" If you say so."

The man observed Jungkook 's eyes slowly shutting from fatigue.

" Go to sleep baby...you must be exhausted."

" You too. It's been a long day for both of us." Jungkook adviced him, despite needing his presence.

" I'll stay. At least till you sleep." he whispered." I can't bring myself to leave, baby!" His voice sounded so deep and rusky ,it produced trembling on Jungkook as well as a pink shade on his delicate face. Taehyung smirked observing his shyness and stooping over his ear he said." I have two babies now...How much I desire to devour my big baby!" He winked at stunned Jungkook." Would you like me to be your...daddy?"

The younger throttled a deep moan, gulping." Taehyung!" he protested weakly." Stop it! He'll hear you!" His gaze landed on the small figure, sleeping peacefully on his chest." Be a good boy and behave!"

" I'm a bad boy , baby... you'll get a taste of how much...soon!" Taehyung glanced up through his long eyelashes. In return he received a sideway glance and restrained his naughty impulses, slumping back to his chair, stretching his long legs and folding both hands behind his neck.It took Jungkook five minutes to sink into a deep slumber. The man sat there, overwhelmed at the view of the two most important people in his life ,sleeping. The sense of jealousy for his own son ,hugging and kissing, free of restrictions, his soon to be lover was eating him up. All his life he yearned of having a loving family. A partner and lots of children, running around the house, making a mess. Impossible to resist the temptation, he got up, locked the door, laying next to them. He wrapped his arms around them, resting his head on the younger 's neck. For the first time in his life, he slept smiling.

He was home.

He was finally home.

" NOW YOU TELL US?HOW COULD YOU HIDE IT FROM US KOOK?" Jin snarled, ruffling his silky, brown hair with a trembling hand, curbing his desire to break something." Namjoon 's effort to calm his raging husband met Jin 's resistance. He, himself was revolted at the jerk daring to assault his son. However he fully understood Jungkook's preference in telling them in person ." Nam don't! He should have told us the moment it happened. We are his parents and he kept us in the dark."

" Baby shouting won't get us anywhere. It happened. It's over and the man is in jail." Namjoon said as calm as he could.

" Stop being so damn condescending! Our son was attacked and nearly got rapped! If Taehyung hadn't arrived he would...."

Namjoon held his hands, stroking them gently." But he did... and our Kookie is fine! Think positive baby! It's ovet!" he reminded him, only to be pushed away.

" Positive my ass! When I imagine that creep touching my baby... His dirty hands on my Kookie...Grgggggg!" He jammed his fists, grinding his white teeth."WHERE DO THEY KEEP HIM? TAKE ME TO THAT JERK ,LEAVE ME ALONE WITH HIM AND I'LL BREAK EVERY BONE IN HIS BODY! CASTRATE HIM! RIP OUT HIS BALLS AND FEED THEM GO THE WOLVES! THAT WILL TEACH HIM A LESSON!" Jin 's rumbling and rapping keot going for quite some time.Namjoon was shaking his head, huffing. Bogum and Hobi were sitting on the couch, Jungkook between then, holding his hands for moral support until the fuss was over.

" Be patient Kook! You know how Jin acts when someone messes with you!" Hobi lisped in his ear. The younger smiled weakly. After visiting the police department this morning and giving a full statement about the event, he had mustered up the strength to see his parents and reveal the incident, knowing he'd be dealing with Jin's outburst.

Jungkook had his head hung low, afraid to face his papa 's rage. He knew this would happen. He was expecting Jin 's reaction but one is never actually equipped to deal with him. Munching his lips, his body was lightly shaking.

" I'm sorry papa...I didn't mean to keep it a secret..." he whispered, squeezing his hyungs's hands.

" Seokjin be quiet!" Namjoon ordered strictly." Our son needs support not scolding! So put aside your usual wacky self and stop nagging!" He was certain he'd pay for reprimanding him but it wasn't the time for Jin to unleash threats or for him to think of the consequences. Come to think of it, the bed at the guest room was rather comfy! Because he would spent the next few days there!At least a lot better than the couch in his study.

Jin granted him a threatening glare but observing Kookie 's terrible state, he cursed and rushing to him, he knelt , caressing his hair.

" I'm really sorry baby! I overreacted only because I am worried about you! You have gone through so much and I want you to be safe...happy...When somebody harms you he harms all of us!"

Jungkook fell in his arms." I know papa...I didn't want to tell you over the phone... I couldn't..." His breath hitched as tears appeared in his eyes.

Jin cupped his face, lifting up his head." You know what happened isn't your fault. You've done nothing wrong."

Jungkook nodded as Jin 's fingers brushed off his tears." Your hyungie saved you baby! You must be thrilled!"

The younger blushed when he remembered Taehyung and their hot make out session at the back of the car." Papa?" He bit the corner of his juicy lips." Hyungie and I...we kissed."

Everyone was left speechless. Their jaws dropped at his statement and they were all struck dumb for a minute.

" WHAT?" They all exclaimed in unison.

" We kissed. He confessed...in a way." he stated beaming in happiness.

" How many ways are there in confessing?" Namjoon wondered out loud, accepting a flick on his forehead from Jin, hissing at the sudden move.

" Huss you big goon!" he snubbed." Baby...are you together now? As a couple?"

" We are dating. I mean we haven't officially started but that's the general idea." Jungkook explained from the beginning how he and Taehyung ended up together.

" I could survive without knowing the spicy details!" Namjoon noticed, pinching the bridge of his nose.

" Then you're in the wrong place with the wrong gang! We love juicy, spicy details!" Jin rejoined enthusiastically hugging his son." I'm so happy! Finally the waiting is over! Congratulations baby!"

" I was certain you too would end up together." Hobi beamed." The look on his face when he saw us that day. He was jealous. Jealousy means one thing. Interest!"

" Well done Kook! You never gave up!" Bogum congratulated him." Never lost hope!"

Jungkook was overjoyed with his family 's reaction. But his appa seem oddly puzzled." Appa?"he asked , fidgeting.

" Of course I am thrilled, baby.Don't doubt it for a second. Promise me you'll be careful though.He is still married. He hasn't gotten a divorse."

Jin huffed and puffed in annoyance." Why do you always have to be the voice of reason? Why can't you let us enjoy it? We remember he is married. But it's still a victory Namjoon!" he retorted." Despite not recalling their past, Taehyung has feelings for Kookie! They are meant to be together! Fall in love again! Build a bright future! Don't spoilt it!"

" I simply advised him to be cautious." Namjoon justified his behaviour." Avoid getting hurt. I'm his dad. It's my job."

Jin rolled his eyes." Yeah...yeah.. I think reading so many philosophical books has an impact on your personality. Grumpy old man!"

" Hey! Quit bickert!" Bogum pointed out, before Namjoon got the chance to reply."We have to celebrate this glorious day! Champagne anyone?"
