《Till Death Do Us Part - A Taekook Love Story.》42 - First One After A Long Time.

"So, Where are we going?" Jungkook asked as the car slowly pulled out of the garage.
"I thought we should go to Namsan Tower today. It has many interesting things to see, I think you'll love it."
Jungkook hummed as a response. He knows what Namsan Tower is, even though he had never been there. While he could think of many fun things that they can do there, the first thing that came to his mind was the infamous Locks of Love.
"" JK's curious question rang through their shared mind and Jungkook was quick to answer.
"It's a place where people go to buy a padlock and key, and you can put your names and messages on surface of the lock with markers and pens. And then you hang those padlocks on a fences."
""
Jungkook felt his face getting hotter by the second and he turned towards the car window so that he can hide his blushing face from Taehyung. Hopefully.
"It's done by c-couples." Jungkook answered to his wolf in a mortified tone. "You know, for everlasting love. You throw away the key and as long as the lock is there, your love will last too."
""
"But it's a load of crap, actually. I don't believe in those stuff."
""
"S-shut up!"
JK laughed merrily while Jungkook scowled. Taehyung of course was oblivious to both actions. Jungkook thought maybe JK was done with his questions but his wolf had some more stuff to say.
""
Jungkook snorted at that. "Yeah. A fine sight it will be when two wolves try to hang a padlock with their teeth."
JK huffed at that and retreated far in to their shared mind. Even though Jungkook felt a bit bad, he was also glad for that conversation to stop. Because Taehyung had been giving him subtle glances, probably due to his red face.

____________________________________
Taehyung scooted closer to Jungkook and tentatively put his hand over Jungkook's hand. The younger had been staring out of the cable car that they were taking to go to the Namsan Tower.
Jungkook looked at Taehyung with a questioning gaze and Taehyung gave a soft smile. "You can hold my hand if you want."
Jungkook was confused. It's not that he didn't want to hold hands but the way Taehyung said is sounded off to him. "Huh?"
"Hold my hand. The height makes you uncomfortable, right?"
"No it doesn't."
Now it was Taehyung's turn to be confused. The Jungkook he knew was scared of heights, always clinging on to Taehyung or Junghyun whenever they did something involving higher ground.
After few seconds of silent staring, Jungkook understood what the elder was thinking about. Taehyung was right. Jungkook used to be scared of height. But not anymore.
Jungkook looked at the elder's hand over his, and gently tangled their fingers. He then looked up and gave a soft smile to the other.
"I'm not scared of heights anymore, hyungie. But if it's still okay, I'd love to hold hands."
Taehyung gave a nod with a smile. Jungkook felt the heat creeping up to his face so he quickly turned around to look outside. Taehyung felt a pain in his heart, and V was quick to consol him.
""
"Yeah. For the better, I think."
They went to many places and really had a good time. Taehyung gave a brief explanation about each place, highlighting their importance and other main facts. Jungkook was actually impressed, until he saw Taehyung secretly checking the information on his phone.
Jungkook pretended to not see that, as he didn't want Taehyung to feel bad. He wow-ed and ahh-ed at all the right places and was genuinely happy to see Taehyung's proud smile.

However, at the Locks of Love place, Taehyung's confident smile got replaced by a look of nervousness. Jungkook could see the elder contemplating to buy a padlock and it was not that hard to guess the reason.
Taehyung was just worried that it might be too soon. They have reconnected only few days ago and doing something to supposedly seal their everlasting love, might seem little rushed.
Taehyung was ready, he just wasn't sure whether Jungkook was. So in the end, he decided to give it some time. But just when they were about to pass that place, Jungkook stopped him.
Taehyung looked back at the younger and was little surprised to see the shy smile on his face.
"A-aren't we getting one?"
After the initial shock wave subsided, Taehyung went to buy one. When he returned, they wrote their names on the padlock, connected by a small heart. Jungkook couldn't help but smile happily when they hung the padlock amongst thousands of other ones, and he sent out a prayer on behalf everyone.
'I hope everyone finds their true love and be happy.'
After few hours of walking sightseeing, they decided to have something to eat. They found this cute looking cafe with a homely vibe. And it wasn't that much crowded so they were able to get a table right away.
Taehyung ordered while Jungkook was in the washroom as the younger asked him to do that. When the food arrived, Taehyung placed Jungkook's one near him and also the Banana milkshake that he ordered for the younger.
Jungkook picked the glass up but didn't drink it. Seconds turned in to minutes and all Jungkook did was started at his drink.
"Uhh.. Koo, why are you staring at the glass?"
Jungkook looked up to give a soft smile. "Nothing, just thinking."
"About?"
"Banana milk."
Taehyung gave a confused gaze and after few seconds, Jungkook spoke up again.
"I haven't had a Banana milk in years." Jungkook's voice sounded as it's coming from a far away place. "Ever since... you left."
Taehyung was rendered speechless. He knew how much Jungkook loved his Banana milk and Taehyung couldn't believe he gave upon that, for so long.
"Why?" Taehyung whispered softly but Jungkook heard is very well.
"Because it reminded me of you." Jungkook answered with a sad smile. "You used to buy them for me. And everytime I saw a bottle, it made me feel happy and.. loved."
"But after you left, I couldn't even look at them. It made me angry and sad. So I stopped having them." Jungkook lifted the glass a bit and showed it to Taehyung. "This is the first one after that and... I'm glad you are the one who gave it to me."
"Koo.." Taehyung whispered shakily. "I'm so sorry."
The younger's eyes were casted downwards too. "I won't say it's okay, hyungie, because it really isn't. But I understand. I understand your reasons and I understand how terrifying it might have been for you. And.. I forgive you."
"Koo, I don't deserve to be forgiven that easily."
"Maybe you're right. You shouldn't be forgiven because there's nothing to forgive. You did what you thought was best for me. How can I hold that against you, hyungie?"
Taehyung watched as the younger raised the glass a bit and took a sip from his drink. And another.
After few slow seconds, Jungkook's face split in to a soft smile, and Taehyung could see some resemblance of the smile he remembered.
"Oh I missed this." Jungkook said in a voice so soft, that Taehyung felt he might be taking to himself. "I missed everything."
And then Jungkook looked up at Taehyung again. His eyes were screaming with an emotion so strong.
"I missed you so much, hyungie. "

[Participant in the Royal Road Writathon challenge] This work is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial-NoDerivatives 4.0 International License. For those unfamiliar with my writing style, Second Chances was my first attempt at writing. I'm not sure how much I learned in the process, except that readers get angry when you mess with characters they like! Warnings - I tend to info dump. I know I do this, I like slice of life novels that take time to unfold. So don't expect action, murder, and battles in every chapter, it isn't going to happen I prefer the first-person narrative. I will do an occasional POV shift, but it will never be done mid-chapter. I hope you enjoy the story, comments, ratings, and favorites are greatly appreciated!

The Skywalker Chronicles
Luke Skywalker wakes up nude in a new world after going to bed as usual. Adventure with him as he readily abandons his previous life and discovers all the wonders of this new world. This is my first attempt at writing that I actually posted anywhere. English is my first language but I pretty much suck at it. This novel will have sexual content but as someone who can’t stand reading those grocery store romance novels I will likely do as Robert Jorden and just say “they did it” and end it with a fade out scene. I lied, there will now be grocery store romance novels levels of sex scenes. I will however mark those chapters with “Eros”. Eros as in one of the Greek gods of love making. Feel free to skip those chapters and pretend that it was a fade out sex scene. And finally, this is not a Star Wars Fan Fiction. The origin of the MC’s name will be explained as the story progresses. Skywalker is just such an awesome name I couldn’t help it. Anyways, we all know Star Gate comes in first followed by Star Track and then Star Wars. I give no promises on release dates or time.
