《35.》Chapter 8
Advertisement
taehyung and jungkook were walking side by side heading to work. jungkook looked down at their hands almost touching. he wasn't sure if it would make the other uncomfortable if he held his hand, but he decided to try anyway.
jungkook held taehyung's hand in his waiting for the older's reaction, but taehyung looked up at him and squeezed his hand before smiling. jungkook's heart might've skipped a few beats at that.
"do you wanna go on a date this weekend?" jungkook asked. "is that bike date still available?" he heard taehyung reply, but he shook his head.
"w-what?" taehyung's smile fell at the other's response. "it's no longer available because i said that it would be a friendly date. are you hinting that we're just friends, taehyung?"
taehyung's cheeks reddened, "i didn't say that."
"then you're saying we're more than friends?" jungkook asked playfully and the other got more embarrassed, "shut up." he then walked ahead leaving a chuckling jungkook behind. "cutie."
the weekend came as the two took their bikes and rode them around the park close to each other so they can chat and talk with each other.
after a few more rounds around the park they sat on the picnic blanket jungkook brought as they got their food out of the basket. "i'm not a very good cook and the best i can do is pasta, i hope you like pasta though." jungkook said as he scratched the back of his neck.
taehyung giggled lightly, "i love pasta." he said before they both started digging into their pasta. after lunch, taehyung layed his head on jungjook's lap as the latter played with taehyung's soft hair.
taehyung looked up at him, "what are you thinking about?" he asked. "will it be cheesy if i said you?" taehyung giggled at that. "i'm just happy that you gave me a chance, i won't ever let you down."

"i'm happy i gave us a chance too." taehyung smiled. "us." jungkook repeated as taehyung hummed. "this is my first date in a very long time, and i'm glad it's with you. i haven't had this much fun before."
jungkook pinched taehyung's cheek, "you're so cute, you know that?"
"cmon in, i'll just put my things inside and use the bathroom which is so not hot but i need it, and i'll walk you home." jungkook said embarrassingly fast and taehyung giggled, "it's okay, i can go on my own."
"not a chance, i don't want our date to be over yet." jungkook pouted and taehyung gave in, "okay, let's go inside then."
when jungkook walked out of the bathroom, he saw his dad coming out of his room. "oh, jungkook you're back. and taehyung is here too, hi." namjoon greeted.
"i thought you were out on a date, kook. it must've ended fast for you to be hanging out with taehyung already." his dad commented before taehyung's smile fell and he looked down. what was i thinking? of course his dad won't like that his son is dating someone my age. taehyung thought to himself.
jungkook cleared his throat before holding taehyung's hand in his, "actually dad, i was on a date with taehyung."
"oh. oh cool." namjoon tried to smile but it was obvious that he didn't like that.
"kook, can i talk to you for a minute? inside." he pointed to his room before leaving the two. "i'll be right back, don't go anywhere, alright? please." taehyung didn't have time to answer before jungkook kissed his forehead and followed his dad.
"what were you thinking?" was the first thing that came out of namjoon's mouth. "you're dating taehyung? he's so much older than you jungkook! how old is he?" he tried to keep calm but wasn't doing a very good job at it.

"it doesn't matter. his age doesn't matter. and i'm not a baby dad. i like him and i think that's enough." jungkook argued.
"you like him now, but what about later, huh? will you still like him when he's a little older than that? when you're still young and he isn't?"
"you're acting like we're 30 years apart dad! he isn't much older than me! he's still young and the most beautiful person, inside out! i really like him, please don't try to come in our way, this is the first time i feel this way about someone, he makes me feel things i've never felt before, so please."
the two weren't aware that taehyung could hear them from the living room. they also weren't aware of the door opening and taehyung walking out, wiping his tears. 'stupid taehyung. what were you thinking? that you can live a fairytale with someone ten years younger than you? of course no one will accept this. you're such an idiot.'
taehyung was so immersed in his thoughts that he didn't notice jungkook following him. when jungkook walked out of the room and didn't find taehyung he knew taehyung heard them and was hurt so he left. so he went after him.
he yanked taehyung's arm to turn him around but taehyung wanted to just leave, "please let go jungkook."

The Elder of Mediocrity
In a world of cultivators, psykers, mages, witches, conspiracies and a Cold War, everything is extraordinary. Well, most everything. Oz “Da Shan” Elderweiss is just your average guy in a not average world. He’s not that strong, he’s not that weak — and he’s not getting any better. Da Shan discovers that you’re never too old to have your own coming of age saga. Filled with a burning desire for revenge, but the inability to carry it out, he hatches an insane scheme to change his potential and achieve exponential growth. But his enemies are quite literally the members of his own household and his close friends. He must fight tooth and nail for what he believes in and for the freedom to carve his own path. Join him as he battles people with both the best and worst intentions, with his life on the line. Current Word Count: 136 000, First arc complete. A lot of new content has been added to the early chapters since the end of May. The first chapters are still under construction and editing, but all the major changes are done. I was a webnovel junkie for a long time, but I found it hard to find novels with solid characters, decent plot, philosophical underpinnings and a fully painted world to keep me going. I've taken from every genre I've liked to make a story that satisfies my own cravings for a good story. If you like the story or have suggestions please leave a comment or review. I hope this novel is fun, provocative but above all fun. Enjoy. Yours truly, James Paul Addington PS I will release at least two chapters a week, or one really long chapter. Concerning the tags: The story is primarily Fantasy with Wuxia influence in some elements. Romance won't happen for the first two arcs or so (roughly 40 chapters), I want to build the world before I do that. Tragedy is because of an event that occurs in the book, not the tone of the book. The book is more lighthearted. Slice of Life doesn't occur till the third arc (the romance happens during that arc as well). Magic will also show up more in later arcs, but appears throughout. Reincarnation it's not a reincarnation like in the traditional sense, but it has a similar concept.

The Core And The Wardens of Eternity
What is the Core, they asked me... It's the light that pushes the darkness away, a bastion of justice, a safe keeper of life. It grooms love and tolerance, embraces science, fights ignorance, sentences it to die a slow and tragic death. The Core... it's something that can't be destroyed for destroying it is to terminate the time and space itself. When the stuck-in-a-dark-age world of Zanria goes offline, the Core sends one of its experienced agents to find out what is going on and to try to reestablish a mysteriously severed connection. However, all his training and experience might come way short as the world sinks in war and chaos with different races and clans fighting for the Star of Bardan, the ward rumored to possess enough supernatural power to create and destroy entire worlds. *** I just changed the name of the series, from 'the Nexus' to 'the Core'. Somehow it just sounds more right to me. This is the first story, and it has a medieval fantasy setting. But, eventually, this is going to turn into Isekai series with elements of LitRPG. So, my future books might include worlds with advanced technologies that might be more in SciFi, including Steampunk, genre. The first book might start slow, but after a few chapters, it should all be properly set up, and by then you should get the feel of how it will all flow. Also, I plan to introduce different story threats that should spread out and criss-cross in the future. Hopefully, I will not complicate it too much, and that it will all read good. I am planning to continue to add chapters to the main storyline here, but I'm also starting a new story threat in the Core series called The Recordings of Raan. There is also a side story The Memoires of Eisen that's exclusive on Patreon for those who would like to support me.
