《Something I Never told You (Tk)》54
Advertisement
It was evening when Jungkook walked into the flower shop with bright eyes. He looked around the big store as he walked towards the lady sitting behind the cash counter.
''God evening Sir, how may I help you?'' She asked standing up and the ravenette smiled at her before looking around once again.
''Can I please have a bouquet of some fresh flowers?'' He asked, wondering which of the flowers will make Taehyung smile the widest. The lady nodded coming forward to walk towards the fresh flowers shining brightly under the lights.
''Which flowers will you prefer, Sir? We have some very wide range of wild flowers too.'' She asked making the ravenette think for a moment. He didn't know which were Taehyung's favourites and the realisation made him disappointed in himself.
'' Which of these are best?''
''For?''
''For telling someone that they are special.'' Jungkook replied softly. The lady looked around before looking at Jungkook again.
''Well....they are some acquaintance of yours or someone who you have a crush over?'' The lady asked to be more precise.
''Its for my husband.'' Jungkook replied without missing a beat.
''Oh...''
''I want flowers that can secretly tell him that I love him.'' The lady nodded understandingly.
''Secretly?''
''Well....Yeah....secretly. I haven't confessed yet.'' Jungkook replied scratching his nape as his ears turned red in shyness.
The lady giggled and walked off to somewhere leaving the ravenette looking around mindlessly.
The lady came back with a few bouquet of roses making Jungkook confused.
''I only want one.''
''I know.....These are different colours of roses each of which symbolise a different meaning. I thought you can choose of those as roses are the best way to show your love without actually confessing it.'' The lady explained making the ravenette confused.
'Why? I mean what so special about roses?''
'' It has been believed that this type of flower was created by the goddess of love, Aphrodite. According to the legend, her tears and her lover, Adonis, blood watered the ground from where the red Roses grew. It was then a symbol of love until death.'' The lady explained putting the bouquet on the counter before picking one of them.
''Bright Red rose....the most beautiful of all, it symbolise love, passion, desire and this, crimson red rose, it signifies love that's blooming over the years and is pure, deep and passionate. Pink roses symbolize admiration, gentleness, dignity, elegance, innocence, and happiness while Orange rose symbolise romance and Burgundy red rose means a very deep passion while Purple rose means adoration, fascination and royalty.... you can choose any one of them..'' The lady explained making the ravenette think for a moment.
''What if I want a combination of these?''
''You mean one from all of them?''
''Y-Yeah!'' Jungkook was hesitant. He had so many thing to tell Taehyung that any one of those roses will not be able to convey.
''You can get that too....tell me what numbers of roses you will want in your bouquet?''
''Any number will be fine....I guess.'' The lady smiled before speaking again.
''There is a meaning hidden behind the number of roses in a bouquet too, Sir..''
''Really?'' Jungkook really didn't know anything about it.
''Yes, A single rose symbolise love at first sight, two roses means mutual love, three means I love you, six says I want to be yours, nine signifies eternal love, ten means you are perfect while one dozen ask them to be yours and so on!''

''Woah! That's really fascinating!''
''Yup...so what number you will like, Sir?'' The question made Jungkook think for a moment.
His wasn't love at first sight, neither he was sure that it was mutual and about three...he can't risk saying I love you directly, and he already belonged to Taehyung so not six....
''N-Nine...Nine it is.'' He replied hesitantly. No matter what happens in future, his love for Taehyung was eternal. He will keep loving his husband till his last breathe, no matter if they are together or not.
''Okay Sir....'' The lady said and went behind the counter to make a bouquet of miscellaneous roses while Jungkook stood thinking about something.
''Can you keep the number of crimson red roses to be three?....the rest can be single!'' He asked and the lady nodded while Jungkook sighed in happiness.
He will be able to say I love you along with expressing so many emotions and Taehyung won't even notice.
He went out of the shop after paying the lady and thanking her.
Placing the bouquet on the passenger seat, the ravenette drove towards the museum where the blonde works.
He was going to give him a surprise.
Straightening his clothes and picking up the bouquet from the passenger seat, Jungkook walked inside the museum which was about to close. Everyone was getting ready to leave for home and it didn't take the ravenette long to see Taehyung walking with his colleague towards the exit where Jungkook was standing.
Taehyung's eyes widen in surprise when his eyes fell on his husband standing near the exit with a bouquet of flowers waiting for him.
He stopped in his tracks for a moment, bid goodbye to his colleague and walked over to Jungkook who smiled at him brightly.
"Hey!"
"Hey beautiful!" The ravenette replied flirting and Taehyung giggled.
"What are you doing here?"
"Came to pick you up...."
"And may I ask why?"
"Coz i wanted to spend some time with a beauty like you." Jungkook replied winking. The blonde chuckled and looked around.
"Let's go then.."
"Sure...." He said and looked at the bouquet in his hands before extending it towards Taehyung who made an impressed face.
"I read flowers bring smile to faces and coz i love your smile so....this is for you." He said and smiled when Taehyung accepted them.
"Why are you being extra cheesy today?"
"Maybe coz i ate cheese today..." The lame joke made the blonde giggle again.
"I am sorry, i didn't know your favourite flowers so i bought this." Jungkook apologized making Taehyung shake his head.
"No need to say sorry....And who doesn't love roses?" He asked caressing the soft petals with his fingers lightly making the ravenette nod.
"Let's go then?"
"Yup!"
Both of them walked out and Jungkook strode ahead to open the door for his husband who couldn't stop himself from giggling.
Something was very wrong with Jungkook...
He was behaving extra cutely.
Once settled inside, the blonde smiled looking at the flowers in his lap.
"This is beautiful...."
"Is it?" The ravenette asked eyeing the bouquet of flowers for a moment.
"Yup....do you know the meaning of these colours?" The blonde asked now looking at Jungkook who licked his lips nervously.
He didn't know how will he explain his feelings making the boy nervous.
"Do you??" He questioned back making Taehyung shake his head. The ravenette smiled weakly before looking ahead.
"You can search their meaning on Google..."

"Yeah...right." Taehyung said and picked up his phone but Jungkook was quick to protest.
"NO!! NOT NOW!!" the blonde looked at his husband who seemed panicked. As if few roses can expose him.
"Why? "
"Y-You can do that later. We are here..." He replied pointing towards a hotel making Taehyung frown.
"Why are we here?"
"For dinner."
"What? I mean why?"
"Because I wanted to...i guess!"
"Okay.....but Gguk could have joined us." Taehyung said making Jungkook chuckle.
"I asked him but he said he wanted to stay home and finish some assignments."
"Oh...Okay..."
The ravenette got down quickly confusing Taehyung but he blushed when like a gentleman, his husband came around to open the door for him and offered his hand to the blonde who took it happily.
Both of them walked inside the restaurant and the ravenette's hand on the small of Taehyung's back that told everyone around them to keep their eyes off of the beauty made a warmth of being protected creep up his heart.
The dinner was quite lively. Both of them talked and laughed together as Jungkook tried to flirt with him continuously and Taehyung blushed every now and then.
Both of them forgot that their days together were coming to an end. Or maybe, both of them knew but didn't want to talk about it. The time they were living was so beautiful that they dreaded thinking about future. Every night, they would feel themselves shivering to core lying in different beds as the thought of going away from each other scare them.
The smiles were beautiful but the fear somewhere deep in their heart was terrifying.
But as said, you can't ignore some things for long.
Time comes when you have to talk about them.
Taehyung was sitting on the hood of the car while Jungkook stood beside him, both of them were watching the shining half moon standing on the bridge, their mind roaming at every possible place as only one more week was left until they part their ways.
Looking back at the last month, Taehyung didn't regret giving himself a chance to be happy. He had enjoyed it fully and made some of the best memories.
The wind was calm. The river flowing under the bridge made relaxing sounds and the shining moon complimenting the bright stars looked so heavenly.
Taehyung glowed under the silver light of moon and Jungkook wanted to ask the Gods above there how can someone look so beautiful even after a tiring day of work.
Kim Taehyung was ethereal.
''Is there any way to stop the time?'' Taehyung asked not averting his eyes from the moon while Jungkook was busy looking at the moon on earth.
His moon!
''I wish there was a way...''
''This night is so beautiful....I want to keep looking at that moon forever..'' He would never say out loud that he wanted to keep sitting beside Jungkook for the rest of his life where Jungkook would keep staring at him unblinkingly like he was doing right now as Taehyung let himself relax under his loving gaze.
It was dreamy.
With cars speeding away behind them and warm air of the city enveloping them in a comfortable silence, Taekook felt like both of them could die in that moment and they won't even complain.
''Tae?'' The ravenette called making the blonde look at him blankly. Jungkook sighed and licked his lips before speaking ahead.
''The last month has been the best time of my life. I never thought I will get to live with a family of my own coz I didn't deserve that. Every morning was exciting and every night was relaxing. I made so many memories with you and Gguk...'' Jungkook paused and the blonde stopped breathing.
So, now was the time when they will be talking about it.
About them.
They didn't have any other option, anyways. Only a week is left and the six months will be over and with it will be over a beautiful dream where both of them lived together, laughed together and cried together.
''When I saw you in Paris, I wanted to bring you back home, do anything to earn your forgiveness so that I can keep you with me forever. I was only thinking about myself, my happiness.....I was being selfish. I didn't even once thought that you may not want that. Why will you want that? I never gave you any reason to make you want to stay with me....''
''Jungk-''
''Shh!! Let me say it, please!'' The ravenette pleaded, weak eyes looking at Taehyung helpless and the blonde teared up.
He would do anything to take that sadness away from his husband.
But does he has the right to do that?
He didn't know.
''To be honest, I never thought about you, I was constantly thinking about myself only. I brought you back to Korea, to the same house where you would have to see my face again and again. I never cared if you hate me coz I never tried to see things with your perspective....I thought that I will apologise, do everything to earn your forgiveness and we will live together always after that.... I made it up in my head that it will give happiness to you too.'' Jungkook averted his eyes for a moment to look up and the blonde wiped the lone tear that slide down his cheek.
''I know I am a shallow person but I tried my best to change myself, Tae....I changed myself for you.'' He confessed while the blonde sat on the hood of the car holding his breathe.
The ravenette took Taehyung's hand in his and started caressing it slowly with his thumb.
''After you left, I realised what I feel for you, or maybe I knew that all along when I asked you to just leave. I was scared to get dependent on someone for my happiness. I couldn't see myself becoming a slave of your smile. It all was messing with my ego....Money was just an excuse to get rid of my feelings for you. I used that chance to make myself hate you even when that was the last feeling that I had for you back then....But it all came back and bit me in a way I never imagined...''
''Why are you telling me all this now, Jungkook.....T-Things are over now.'' The blonde spoke finally. No matter how much he love his husband but the pain, the hurt, the heartbreak, the betrayal....that was still fresh in his memories.
''I k-know, Tae....I know things are over and they will never be same again. I just want to say what I have been keeping in my heart for years. These words, these emotions suffocates me....I know I deserve everything but I know you too! You are not that cruel....you are an angel. Just listen to me once please....I won't stop you after that. You can leave me if you want...''
''Leave you if I want? Only a week, Jungkook and we are getting divorce. You never gave me the choice to choose. You de-decided this for us....we are parting ways in seven days....''
''I kno-''
''No you don't know. You know nothing. You are just a careless human who cares for nothing. You brought me and Taegguk back without knowing what we want. You filed a custody case without asking your son what he feel, you got ready to divorce me not giving a fuck to what I may think about it! I know you didn't want to marry me but you could have talked to me about it once! Your parents decided to bind us in some very twisted r-relationship even when they knew that this wasn't what you wanted...what was my fault? Do you think I wasn't capable enough to live by my own if we had got the same divorce seventeen years ago?'' Taehyung asked tearing up.
Why everything has to come up with a price for him?
Why can't he just live happily without anyone else choosing for him?
Their wedding wasn't consensual but Jungkook could have tried to talk to him, just for once? Maybe they could have came up with a solution....
Maybe both of them would have parted ways without him getting attached to his husband...
Maybe he wouldn't have left broken in the end.
''I know that's my fault. Tae...I-''
''When you know that it's your fault, every single thing that you, me and Taegguk went through was your fault then why are you trying to be so good, so caring...so thoughtful? You don't need to be sorry about anything... That doesn't even mean a-anything now.'' Taehyung pulled his hand away from Jungkook's holding giving a sharp pang to the ravenette's heart.
He fisted his hand, as if trying to hold onto something.
As if he wanted this time, this moment to never end.
His heart was bleeding, it was aching so bad but he couldn't even blame anyone else. Taehyung himself was breaking down.
Both of them needed each other yet none tried to step forward and embrace the other in their comforting warmth.
The dream was over.
They needed to come back to reality now.
''Tae....I filed that case b-because I didn't have any other option to bring you b-back.''
''Why did you needed us to be back so badly?''
''Coz you are my family.''
''Were not we seventeen years ago?''
''You were.....Its just I was scared.''
''Do you think that can justify your actions.''
''I am not trying to do that. I know nothing can justify w-what I did!''
''Then what the fuck are y-you trying to prove now, Jungkook? Just tell me once clearly why are you doing all this? You brought me back here, begged me to give you a chance to make me happy and then get a divorce? All of this is out of my u-understanding.... I don't know why are you doing all this?'' The blonde asked getting irritated.
No matter from where they start, they end up only on countless questions whose answers he never get!
Why Jungkook wanted to bring him back only to let him go forever?
Was it because of Gguk?
Was it because Jungkook knew that Taegguk will never come to his father leaving his mother alone?
Then why did he made him feel all those emotions again? Why the fuck did he gave him butterflies? What the fuck those soft touches, forehead kisses, interwined fingers, comforting nights of cuddling and all those playful teasing meant?
All of it was confusing for the blue eyed male.
''I did that coz I find my solace in you, in your smile, in your laugh, Tae....I did that coz making you happy makes me happy! I brought you back coz I wanted you to live with me and now, I am giving you a choice because now I want you to choose your happiness!'' The ravenette replied getting furious for some reason.
Why is it so hard for Taehyung to understand him.
Can't he read what Jungkook feel for him in his eyes?
Is it that hard for the blonde to hear his heart beating only for him?
While the ravenette huffed in frustration, Taehyung sat in his spot stunned.
He didn't expect that outburst.
Did Jungkook even know what he meant?
Did he even understand the meaning of his own words?
How can he say that Taehyung is where he find his solace? Its not like he l-love him or something...Or d-does he?
No!
Jeon Jungkook can never love him.
Not even in his dreams....
Its impossible to believe and even if he let himself believe it, he knew that it was going to only hurt him in the end.
Coz he was not lucky enough to be loved by his husband.
''Tae, I w-''
''No! Shut Up! Just don't say anything ahead....'' Taehyung interrupted him. The ravenette shut his eyes for a moment. This wasn't how he wanted things to be.
This is not how he planned to tell Taehyung everything.
''If you really cared, you would not have made me to stand on the same spot again where I was seventeen years ago! If you wanted me to be happy, you wouldn't have forced me to come back to Korea....if you really wanted me to forgive you, you would have let me choose when I wanted.''
''That's what I am d-doing, Tae....I am letting you choose for yourself, I-''
