《You Enlighten My World ( Taekook ff )》Part 72
Advertisement
Tae is sitting on the bed in his room in Kim Mansion. He's waiting for his husband to call him. Jungkook called him after he had reached Singapore to let him know that he landed safely and had promised to call him again at night. But it was hours ago and Tae can't wait to hear his husband's soothing voice again.
Tae is wearing a pair of sweatpants and a big hoodie which obviously belongs to Jungkook. He had sneakily packed two hoodies and one white t-shirt, that belong to Jungkoo, in his luggage, without Jungkook's knowledge. I mean come-on he needs that much to survive seven days without his husband, you can't blame the poor boy. But the thing that he doesn't know is, though he tried to take those things out of Jungkook's cupboard rather sneakily when he thought Jungkook isn't looking that way, Jungkook actually saw him doing it. Jungkook had silently laughed to himself seeing how cutely Tae was trying to get those things and walk out of the room like a sneaky little kitten.
Tae was sitting hugging his tokki..shi whom he has brought with himself. What did you think his big suitcase carried? It's not like he doesn't have clothes in KM. The suitcase had Jungkook's clothes, the bunny plushie, one of Jungkook's towels with a few of his own clothes. Tae actually wanted to bring Jungkook's pillow too, so that he could sleep hugging it but dropped the idea because the pillow was too big to put it in a suitcase.
"Why isn't he calling yet?" Tae asked tokki..shi "he said that he would call me at night, then why didn't he till now?" He again said but got no reply because obviously a doll can't reply.
"Why are you not answering? You stupid tokki" Tae squeezed the the plushie, angry that it isn't answering his questions "why? Why are you not answering? Tell me, tell me, why didn't he call till now?" He kept shaking and squeezing the life out of the poor thing.
Suddenly his phone rang flashing Jungkook's name on it. Immediately Tae's face lit up like a thousand watt bulb, a big smile came on his face.
"Kookieeee, I misssssss youuuuuu" Tae said excitedly as soon as he received the call.
Jungkook smiled hearing the excited tone and the words "I miss you too baby" he let the younger know.
"Then why did you call so late?" Tae pouted "I was waiting for long for your call" he whined.
Jungkook could actually visualize the pout that adorned the plump lips of his love, "I am so sorry baby. Please forgive your Kookie" he apologized "I came late from the meeting and was having my dinner." He let the boy know.
Tae suddenly felt bad for whining after hearing it "I'm sorry Kookie for whining. I know you are there for work still I'm bothering you" he said in a small voice.
Jungkook didn't like the tone of his Angel, he would rather hear him whine the whole day then hearing his sad tone "hey baby, please don't say sorry. You are not bothering me. I love it when you whine like that, it means you are missing me just like I'm missing you. So never say sorry for it, okay" he said affectionately.
Tae's heart melted hearing those heartfelt words of his love "hmm I'll not say it again" he said "but tell me did you have your dinner well? You are not overworking yourself, are you?" He inquired.

"Yes baby I had it well and no I'm not over working" Jungkook replied "now you tell me did you have your dinner?" He asked.
"Hmm I did. Eomma made japchae for me" Tae replied "but I missed your cooking" he added in a small voice.
"Aww baby don't be sad. I'll cook everything you love for you once I'm back" Jungkook told him, trying to lift his mood. And it worked, Tae smiled hearing those words.
"I would love that" he answered cheerfully the thought of Jungkook cooking all his favorite foods made him happy "and you will have to bring ice cream too for me" he demanded.
"Alright love I'll do that also" Jungkook answered grinning "now tell me what did you do today?" He inquired.
"I…" Tae thought about what he did that day, he tried to learn cooking from his Eomma but he can't say that to Jungkook, that will spoil his surprise, so he said "I spent the day with Eomma and did some studying too."
"That's good" Jungkook told him.
"What did you do?" Tae inquired.
"I had a meeting and then another meeting and tomorrow I'll have some more meetings. So yeah all I did and will do is meeting" this time Jungkook whined.
Tae laughed hearing his husband's words, he found it really funny how Jungkook had said it as if he's on the verge of crying for all the boring meetings he has to attend "aigoo my poor bunny, it must be really boring isn't it?" He said.
"Hmm it is" Jungkook said in a cute voice making Tae giggle "it would be so nice if someone would have given me a kiss" he added and almost immediately Tae cut the call.
Jungkook stared at his phone with a shocked face "what did just happened?" He thought "did I say something wrong?" He asked himself. Before he could think anything more his phone rang showing Tae's name and it's a video call.
Jungkook received the call and saw a smiling Tae sitting on the other side of the call. He smiled as he saw the clothes Tae was wearing which is his hoodie.
"You need a kiss right?" Tae asked smiling and Jungkook nodded his head still pouting.
"Come here my cute bunny" Tae said, he held the phone near his lips and gave it a smooch. As Tae pulled the phone away from his lips he saw Jungkook looking at him with wide eyes, his lips had formed an 'O', looking like a lost puppy "what you don't like it?" Tae asked and Jungkook immediately nodded his head "I love it" he said and Tae smiled hearing it "give me more" the older puckered his lips. Tae giggled seeing his cuteness and again placed a kiss on the phone.
"More, more" Jungkook kept demanding and Tae kept giving him kisses through the phone while giggling loudly.
Standing at the door, Jin saw the scene with warm eyes. He came to check on Tae but found the boy giggling and kissing his phone like crazy while Jungkook's voice could be heard from the end of the call. He decided not to disturb the couple and left from there after closing the door silently.
Walking towards his room, a warm smile adorned the handsome face of Kim Seokjin, he felt elated seeing his son all happy and giggling.
………………………….
Tae is sitting in class. Their teacher is explaining something standing in front of the board. But Tae is hardly listening to it. He is looking out of the window beside which he is sitting and is lost in his own thoughts.

It's been four days that Jungkook left for his business trip and to say that Tae is terribly missing him would be an understatement, he can't wait for the remaining days pass and get Jungkook back. It's becoming really hard for him to live without the older. Though they talk every morning and night, facetiming at night, it's not enough. Seeing Jungkook on facetime and seeing him in reality are two totally different things. Though they can see each other on the video call but they can't touch each other, sending kisses through the phone screen and kissing each other in person aren't same, are they? Tae just can't wait to have his husband back to himself, to hug and kiss him, to cuddle with him, to sleep in his warm protective embrace, to listen to his steady heartbeats.
"Kim Taehyung?"
Tae was rudely brought back from his thoughts by the loud voice of their teacher. He stood up from his seat "yes sir" he replied.
"Kim Taehyung why are you not paying attention to the class and staring out of the window." The teacher scolded him "Did you find something interesting there? If yes then please share it with the class, we too would like to know about it?" The teacher mocked.
Tae was red in embarrassment "I am really sorry sir. I won't do it again" he said.
"As if you are teaching something interesting, you boring old man, can't you leave my Taetae alone" Jimin cursed the teacher in his head for embarrassing his best friend.
"Alright I will let it go for this once, but don't do it again. Pay attention to the class" the teacher told Tae who nodded his head and again sat back in his seat. He tried to concentrate on the class but the thoughts of a certain raven haired bunny toothed man made it really hard for him to do so.
Tae and Jimin went to the canteen at lunch time. Tae took out two lunch boxes from his bag "Eomma has sent lunch for you" He informed his best friend.
Jimin's eyes shone hearing it "wow really, I missed his cooking" he said excitedly "now that you left KM I really miss having lunch from him, it's good that you are living there nowadays" Jimin bit his tongue as he realized what he said. He knows Tae is already feeling down because Jungkook isn't here and he has to live at KM yet he ended up saying something like this.
Jimin looked at his best friend's sad face "I'm really sorry Taetae, I didn't mean to say it like that" he apologized feeling sad thinking that he hurt his friend.
"It's okay Jiminie" Tae smiled a little "I know you didn't mean it, don't be sorry okay" he said.
"Hmm" Jimin nodded and opened the lunch box. The friends started eating.
"Are you okay Taetae?" Jimin asked his best friend.
"Hmm" Tae nodded.
"What do you mean by hmm?" Jimin Asked again.
"I mean I am as much okay as one can be in my position" Tae told him sighing a little.
"In your position?"
"Hmm, in my position where you have to live a whole damn week without your husband" Tae let him know.
"But it's just a week, it'll pass soon" Jimin said.
"It's not just a week jiminie, it's A WEEK" Tae almost shouted as he thought Jimin is not understanding the gravity of his situation.
"Okay okay I understand what you mean" Jimin tried to pacify his friend seeing how everyone in the canteen staring at them.
"No you don't" Tae said stubbornly.
"I do Tae. See you are away from your husband for just a week otherwise you guys always stay together, but think about me, me and Yoongi hyung, we just get to meet only a few times a week. All we can do is talk on phone." Jimin told him, thinking about his own love life.
"That's the reason you won't understand my situation Jimin" Tae sighed "see you two don't live together, so you won't know how it feels when suddenly you are forced to stay away from the love of your life. Once you guys start living together then only you will understand it." He explained to his friend.
But hardly did Jimin heard anything that Tae said after the word Love. He stared wide eyed at Tae.
"Love?" He asked, shocked "you love hottie Jeon?"
Tae felt his cheeks heating seeing his best friend's shocked face "yes" he nodded his head, smiling shyly.
"Oh finally" Jimin almost shouted but then controlled himself not wanting to get attention from others "finally you realized it, you dumbo" he said smiling happily, happy that his stupid friend had finally realized that he is in love with his husband.
"What! Don't tell me like Eomma, you too knew about it long before?" Tae asked, shocked.
"Yes" Jimin stated in a matter of fact tone.
Tae closed his eyes feeling exasparated "is there anyone who doesn't know about it?" He mumbled and then opened his eyes wide as a sudden thought struck him,
"Don't tell me even Kookie too knows it?" He said.
"Hmm knowing your dumb self, that could be the case" Jimin stated.
"Oh no!" Tae exclaimed loudly and hid his face in his hands and Jimin laughed out loud seeing his state.
…………………
The day before he was scheduled to go back to Seoul, Jungkook visited the showroom of a famous jewelry brand in Singapore.
He wanted to get something for Tae so he had visited the same shop two days back. Even after looking for more than an hour he still couldn't find anything even close to what he actually wanted to get.
As the salesman saw him struggling to choose the jewelry "sir are looking for something specific?" He asked kindly.
"Actually yes" Jungkook replied and told the salesman what he was looking for.
" I am really sorry sir but we don't have anything like that" the salesman had apologetically informed him. As the salesman saw Jungkook's smile dropping "but we can have it made for you if you can draw it for us, can you do it sir?" He asked.
Jungkook nodded his head, his smile back on his face "yes I can do that" he answered.
"Okay then I will get pen and paper for you" the salesman told him.
After he had made the drawing and explained the other things to the salesman, the salesman had informed Jungkook that his order will be ready in two days. And today is the day he is supposed to get it.
Jungkook entered the store and went to the same salesman. The salesman smiled seeing him "welcome sir" he greeted.
"Hello, is my order ready?" Jungkook asked politely.
"Yes sir it is ready. I will just bring it" the salesman went and came back with a box. He handed the box to Jungkook.
Jungkook opened the box and inspected the item inside it. He felt satisfied seeing that it is just like how he imagined it to be.
"Thank you so much" he thanked the salesman.
"It's our pleasure sir" the salesman replied "please come with me I will have it packed for you" he said.
Jungkook came out of the store after paying for the gift. He started at the gift bag in his hand "I hope you will like it, baby" he thought as the smiling face of a very excited Tae came to his mind "I can't wait to get back to you my love" he whispered looking at the moon.
At the same time a boy, in a city thousands of miles apart from Singapore, too looked at the moon from the balcony of a big Mansion "I can't wait to have you back my love" the boy whispered.

Small Chests Are Fine Too
It is an undeniable fact that good things come in small packages. More often than not, it is necessary to trim the fat in order to bring what really matters to the forefront. Having extra bulk may seem like a good idea, but in reality it is merely a crutch that will one day become a hindrance, as it is no substitute for personality nor ability. Indeed, often times it is the small things in life that brighten up our daily lives and constantly remind us exactly why we do the things we do. However, it is important to keep an open mind, for while bigger is not always better, there are also times when it is. This holds especially true when it comes to hopes and dreams, which have been known to require a suitably large container from time to time. And while dreaming big could potentially lead to massive dissapointment, one will never truly reach fulfilment if they think too small. A truth that one small woman with meager aspirations is about to find out. DISCLAIMER: This is a spin-off/side story of my main series, Everybody Loves Large Chests, which is also mandatory reading to understand this one. It runs parallel to the main plot, branching off from the chapter titled Upheaval 2, so there will be spoilers for anyone who hasn't reached that point.

Fragments from the Wildlands
“Your first death is always the hardest.” Miguela was the third-born child of a well-off merchant family and knew from around the time she could speak that her life’s path was already decided. She was to become an Orator, as was Xandran tradition. However, Miguela had an affinity with the magikal arts and somehow found herself studying at the Academy. She did just enough to keep up with her studies but never found the motivation to apply herself and “reach her potential,” as her instructors often said. It was not that Miguela was uninterested in the arts. Rather, she knew her time at the Academy ultimately did not matter. Whenever Miguela returned home, she would become an Orator, and that would be that. Or so she believed until, one day, an opportunity appeared that would change her life. Miguela was offered the chance to join a research team tasked with a mission of the utmost importance to the future of the Five Kingdoms. She could not turn down the prospect of regaining control of her life and finally finding a purpose for herself. Of course, Miguela might soon discover that offers that appear too good to be true are usually fraught with lies. Welcome to Five Kingdoms of Cordizal! Question: What is the Five Kingdoms of Cordizal? I often get asked this type of question about my stories by friends, bloggers, and potential readers. The Five Kingdoms of Cordizal is a high-fantasy epic universe that is the setting for most of my stories. The foundation of the universe is its multicultural, multiracial setting with several sentient races attempting to carve their legacy and survive. The world is fully fleshed out and vibrant with a rich and mysterious history not based on Tolkien mythology. This brings me to magic. To me, magic is an essential part of the fantasy genre, so, of course, there is magic in the Five Kingdoms universe. However, one critical part of the Five Kingdoms universe is that magic is an abundant commodity that is a part of everyday life and not some plot device used to drive the story. In short, the Five Kingdoms universe is the setting of epic fantasy stories with deep characters and world-building. I try to tell as many different types of stories as possible in the universe, and hopefully, you can find something for you in it.

RETURN, A Dark Lord story.
Return, Synopsis In the Triangulum Galaxy, one of a number of galaxies controlled by the Empire of The DARK LORD, JENNA OF CHRISTOS finds herself on the run after she killed a patrolman. Becoming pilot on a pirate craft, several years later she and other pirates are devastated by attacks of the Imperial Legion and are now trying to regroup. Seeking funds that will help them hide out for a time, their leader THURGOD DRISTA and JENNA meet with a PROFESSOR of galactic history who gives them information, a map and an ancient artifact described as a singing stone. He tells them that this could lead them safely to a legendary treasure trove, called THE DARK LORDS HOARD, on the forbidden planet TRILLA. The hoard is supposed to belong to the ruler of the empire who vanished close to one thousand years before and is presumed to be gone. The treasure is believed to be hidden in a tunnel accessible from the planet surface but no one who has gone into the tunnel has ever come out alive or sane. Leaving the pirate hideout immediately after the meeting and avoiding a major attack by the legion, the pirates travel to the galactic rim for supplies and to leave a false trail. With them they take the PROFESSOR and ILISA, a serving girl. However CAPTAIN TRASKA the commander of a Legions task force called Detachment T, has guessed the pirates intentions and tracked them to the rim. The pirates leave on their next leg to TRILLA unaware that CAPTAIN TRASKA with his force of heavy cruisers, is already there and lying in wait for them. Allowing the pirates to land, including an unexpected second pirate ship, CAPTAIN TRASKA sends a force of troopers to capture both craft and their guards. Before they can do this, THURGOD, the PROFESSOR and others, numbering thirteen altogether and led by JENNA entered the tunnel complex. JENNA, warned by ILISA that she must be the one to hold the singing stone, carries it in the hope that it will guide her and her companions past the many dangers in the tunnel. Shortly afterward, VIS VISTRICER the Legions overall commander travels to Trilla in an armoured planetoid, a spacecraft as large as a moon. On his arrival at TRILLA, VIS VISTRICER meets with CAPTAIN TRASKA but before they can do much, they are both surprised by one of the LADIES OF THE CIRCLE who is waiting for the outcome of what is happening in the tunnels. In the tunnels, JENNA leads THURGOD and the rest of party through many dangers and tests. Four are killed in the tunnels but the rest finally come to their goal where, to their surprise, in a cavern they meet the DARK LORD who is alive and very well. He has been waiting for them so he can return to the Empire. JENNA finds out that the patrol officer is alive and that she and many others have been manipulated all this time by the DARK LORD. She also finds out that ILISA, whose real name is JURA, is a member of the CIRCLE OF LADIES and was sent to teach JENNA many years before on her home planet of Christos. The DARK LORD restores and fulfills a promise to release JURA from her service as a LADY. He next has each pirate declare their own fate and takes them to the surfaces of TRILLA. There, at their election, he executes two of the pirates while JENNA is pardoned and some have the death penalty reprieved. The rest will face the courts of the Legion. VIS VISTRICER is raised to the rank of STAR COMMANDER, the highest rank in the Legion while TRASKA becomes a COMMODORE. The DARK LORD returns to Tihab, the administrative centre of the empire. There he takes up his residence in a surprised and disconcerted imperial palace. JENNA is returned by COMMODORE TRASKA to the planet Christos where she is welcomed by the planets rulers and her family, some of whom were aware of some of what was happening.
