            𓂃⋆ THIRD PERSON POV ⋆𓂃
Jk: Shit Just stop it ugly duckling!! You just had 2 glasses of vine for god sake!
Not bothered by his words he was busy jumping in the muddy puddles. His giggling was the only sound surrounding them in the deserted parking lot. And he was more annoyed than amused at him. The dress was sticking to him like a second skin and he could see the shape of his figure. Those black hair were sticking to him and he just wanted to brush them back from his face. His hands were wide open and his head was tilted up to look into the falling water droplets.
Jk: Tae Oh god,
this boy will make me go crazy Pulling him along towards the car he kept dragging him but he outrightly refused.
Th: Nooo!! Just leave me! You…you son of a gun!! You basket! Let me go!?
After 5 minutes of in vain attempts of making him let go, he finally screamed in frustration.
Jk: Are you done?
Next, he knows he was pulling the his cheeks and cursing at him.
Th: See!! You even have chubby cheeks!
His hands moved towards his hair and he screamed in horror.
Jk: Just stop man! Not my hair…no..!!
Before he could protest further his tiny fists have taken a hold of his silky hair with a crazy smile on his face.
The umbrella in his hands was making it impossible for him to use his other hand to stop him. And ultimately he was smiling ear to ear and he was screaming at him to stop.
Th: They are soooo soft!! Wow!! So silky… I also want them!! Please…. pretty please
Pushing him on the car he held his fists in his hands on either side and screamed in frustration.
Jk: Don’t. you.ever.touch.my.hair.again!
In response to his anger, he got a hiccup as a reply and he again bursts in a fits of laughter. Unable to tackle his crazy state he pushed him inside the car and placed on the seat belt.
Taehyung hands were placed on his mouth trying to stop the hiccup but it was of no use. The irritating noise kept coming every few seconds.
They finally reached home to make him leave him in the car and go back inside. He didn’t want to handle any more of his nuisance. Also, he thought he could manage from here but how wrong he was.
Putting away his coat and tie he came out of the shower to see him nowhere in sight. It has been around 10 minutes and he still was not able to reach their room. Putting on his slipper’s he went down the stairs to see no sign of him. He checked the car but still, he was nowhere to be found. He started searching frantically for him. A little weight of fear getting loaded on his heart. It was still drizzling outside and luckily there was no thunder today. He couldn’t imagine handling him when drunk with his Astrophobia.
His gaze stopped on a shadow near the pool and he sighed in relief. With heavy steps and he banged the door to the pool open and stormed inside. Taehyung With legs dipped in the water, he looked like a 5-year-old child who visits a pool for the first time. His legs were splashing water everywhere including him.
Jk: What are you doing here?
In response, he got a wide smile and splash of water
directed towards him. He stepped back in surprise of his audacity while he simply giggled at his own childishness.
Jk: Are you nuts!! I just had a bath!!
he got another giggle and a bigger splash this time.
Jk: Jeon Taehyung Get up and come inside this instance!!
His authoritative voice made Tae sober up only for few seconds as he was back to splashing water and giggling. He has had enough of him now. Moving towards him in that drizzling rain he was determined to teach him a lesson.
Sensing him approaching he was fast enough to run on the other side of the pool and make funny faces at him. Unknown to him that angry scowl at his face got replaced by a natural smile as he followed h around the pool.
His giggles were stopped by his hiccups every minute and he found this amusing a bit.
Th: You can’t catch me, dear husband!! You are a boo.boo!!
Jk: Oh, really ugly duckling just wait and watch what I do with you when I catch you!!
They both got exhausted and finally, Jungkook approached him with a victorious look on his face.he was breathing heavily holding onto his stomach.
Th: Mo…ove back…i
he looked back to see the edge of the pool behind him. His mischievous eyes challenging Tae to escape from him now. With each step, he took his heart thumped in chest faster.
Th: Stay…..st..ay back…. don’t come near…me
Next, he knows the water got entangled with his feet and he found him self falling back. The mischief was all gone From his eyes as the fear of his inability to swim got to surface. His scared eyes locked on his and his hands moved forward for his help.
Jk: Scared darling? In need of my help?
he was dying of his fears and he was laughing at them. he suddenly hated his guts of making fun of his fears.
Th: A person like you needs more help than I do.
Taehyung words hit it right on the spot. All the humour vanished from his eyes getting replaced by the usual arrogance. His grip on him hand tightened showing how much his words affected him and next.
*bang*
Jk: Enjoy your dip
he didn’t expect this, not in a hundred years. he felt betrayed. His shaking fingers tried to find his hands once again but sadly he had turned his back on him. His body landed on the surface with a huge splash and he didn’t even got the time to gulp in air and stop his breath. Water gushed into his eyes and mouth making it impossible to see anything. His body landed diagonally to only make his go deeper with each struggle. Soon his legs touched the surface to be only thrust upwards with his every attempt. The pool was 9 feet deep where he fell.his body was rotating under the water trying to find an escape.
His hands could touch the floor of the pool but not it’s surface.he just had to reach a corner and he will be fine. he was moving towards safety doing everything he could. Legs hands…he was moving everything. Only when a meter of a distance was left and he was celebrating victory. Something unexpected happened that blew his candle of hope.
he hiccuped The air got blocked and it suddenly became impossible to breathe. His eyes were tearing and all his limbs felt numb. He couldn’t believe himself. Just how can he act like that with him. Giggling, laughing. Like seriously? he has not laughed in ages.
Taehyung was right for the first time. But sadly he couldn’t help it. He doesn’t need an insecure and vulnerable person like him to tell him this. He was fully capable to fight his demons on his own, he didn’t need his help. He was going inside when he decided to look at him for the last time. He left his hand to give him a hint of how inhuman he can be. To show him how wrong he was to trust him in the first place. He wanted to make sure he never trusts a man like him again in future.
But what happened was not even expected by him. The side of the pool where he left him hand was 5 feet deep. There was a sharp slope between the 5 feet and 9 Feet depth of the pool. He thought he will be able to stand in the 5 feet pool and will be able to come back.
His gaze went on him struggling body on the deeper side of the pool and he stilled in horror.
Jk: Fuck Shit!!
Not caring of removing his clothes he dived into the depths of the pool. He could see him starting to still underwater and he pushed his hands harder. As soon as his eyes met his scared ones he didn’t waste another second and placed his lips on him. Giving him all the oxygen he kept for himself, he pulled his body in his arms. Taehyung found his solace in the breath of oxygen he gave him. Pressing his lips tightly to his, he didn’t want to waste even a bubble of it. He pulled them above the surface of the water, with his refusing to break the kiss. he feared death if he broke it and Jungkook couldn’t help enjoy the feeling.his responding was enough for him to know that he will be fine.
Taehyung teary eyes opened to land on his closed ones and he stopped the kiss. On his lack of response, he looked at those teary brown orbs. His body was still clinging onto him for support while his feet were easily touching the floor.he was shivering badly and he couldn’t help pull him closer.
Before he could understand what he was doing his hand moved up to touch his face.his fingers traced his forehead, his eyes, his nose to finally stop at those lustrous lips. He couldn’t control himself.
His actions were reminding him of that night 18 years back. He had closed his eyes to only see that little boy tracing his face like Taehyung was doing right now.
The night he dreams of every night, the boy who keeps him awake at night was right there in front of him torturing him with those innocent brown eyes. He finally opened his eyes to only get lost in his brown ones. So beautiful…so pure…so caring. He couldn’t keep it in any longer. He was breaking from the inside and he desperately wanted someone.
The boy in front of him was again on the verge of death just because of his foolishness. How can he repeat? How can he even apologize for this?
Not knowing what got into him he simply placed his hands behind him and hugged him. Closely enclosing him in his warm embrace he found his solace, his peace, his serenity.he was shocked. Not sure of what to do, he gently placed him hand on his back and rubbed circles on it.
Jk: I….am… sorry… Tae….I am so sorry…I thought… You… can…. Swi… I.. Sorry
He was stumbling in Taehyung ears and he couldn’t believe it. A person like Jeon Jungkook never says sorry, nor does he hug anyone. Then who was this person in his embrace? He sounded so broken that Taehyung just wanted to kiss him again and tell him it was fine. Even though he knows it was a very bad move to let him go like that….but he didn’t know that he couldn’t swim he thought. Coming back to reality he suddenly moved back from him like his touch burned him. But he screamed in surprise as he was his only support. Realising this he again moved forward to grab him
Jk: Oh sorry! Stop moving…it’s fine, just hold onto me!
he listened to him and he finally made him reach to safety. He wanted to say so much but now he lost the opportunity.
The drizzling weather, the silent night, his eyes….they all did something inside him which he couldn’t understand.It all felt familiar. Like he had experienced this before.
