Believe (Taekook Stories)
You're my everythingᵒⁿᵉˢʰᵒᵗ~
"Alpha Team, it's a combined Operation. After putting on winter military gear, come to 463 airport by 21:00 today."
In a quiet café in the late afternoon. Jungkook sits across from Taehyung, who has just arrived. There's a soft buzz of people around, but their focus is only on each other.
Jeon Jungkook
We still have two and half hours left until our date.
You're here early like last time.
Jeon Jungkook
*curious* What is it?
I guess you aren't here early.
Kim Taehyung
*nods softly*
Jeon Jungkook
The department store again?
Kim Taehyung
*takes a deep breath* This time I'll be gone for a little long.
Kim Taehyung
I don't think I'd have any time except now
Kim Taehyung
So I wanted to see you face to face
Jeon Jungkook
How long is long?
Jeon Jungkook
A week? Two weeks?
Kim Taehyung
*looks down* Three months
Jeon Jungkook
*gasps* three months? Is it an overseas department store?
Kim Taehyung
*nods* Just pretend I'm enlisting in the army.
Kim Taehyung
They usually grant a leave after 100 days
Jeon Jungkook
Are you making me a "Gomooshin" now?
• Korean Traditional Rubber shoes: Refers to girls waiting for their boyfriend's military service to end.
Kim Taehyung
Don't drink with another guy.
Jeon Jungkook
*eyes glistening* *nods*
I am sorry. *wipes the tears away* *sniffles* I was trying not to. But it isn't working.
Kim Taehyung
*softly pulling Kook into his embrace* I am sorry for making you have to try.
Jeon Jungkook
Come back quickly if you know that.
Don't get hurt. Don't be late.
Kim Taehyung
*smiles* I won't get hurt. I won't die. I'll be sure to come back. I promise
Jeon Jungkook
Can you keep in touch?
Kim Taehyung
*shakes his head as no* it's somewhere that international data doesn't work.
Kim Taehyung
I'll be sure to call you whenever I can.
Kim Taehyung
Just spent one season well.
Kim Taehyung
I'll be sure to return when the seasons change.
Kim Taehyung
I'll miss you.
He's smart, funny and mysterious.
But he has a lot of secrets. He'll disappear from time to time. Be hard to contact. And then one day... He'll never come back.
Kim Taehyung
*Text message* I have arrived safely. I really miss you.
Jeon Jungkook
*Text message* I'm on my way to work.
Today's sun is really shiny.
Jeon Jungkook
How is it there?
Jeon Jungkook
It is cold there or is it a warm country.
Jeon Jungkook
Wherever you are...i really, really, really miss you.
Jeon Jungkook
*Text message* They're playing the national anthem on TV.
Jeon Jungkook
Why is the national anthem the theme song of my dating life?
Jeon Jungkook
*brushing teeth and texting* comeback quickly! I miss you!
Jeon Jungkook
*Having lunch and texting* The emergency room was so busy, I'm eating lunch now. It's already winter here.
Jeon Jungkook
You said you'd come when the seasons change. Why aren't you coming?
Jeon Jungkook
*helping a patient*
Kim Taehyung
*shooting with gun*
Jeon Jungkook
*Text message* Aren't you being too much?
Jeon Jungkook
Even if you're on Mars and I sent a letter, it would have arrived by now. *aggressively typing* I'll be drinking with a really handsome man. You should come and get me.
Jeon Jungkook
*slams the phone on the table*
Park Jimin
If he hasn't seen the message then you should think that he must be somewhere where he can't check it. Why are you sending it every day and then getting upset and angry every single day?
Park Jimin
*sips his coffee*
Jeon Jungkook
So that he would feel sorry when he sees how upset I was every single day.
Jeon Jungkook
But are they really unreachable like this every time they're on a mission?
Park Jimin
Whether they're reachable or not, i have always been ignored. Since there were more days of our breaking up than actually dating.
Jeon Jungkook
This time, did you two make up before he left?
Park Jimin
*shakes head in denial*
Park Jimin
There's no making up. This is not a lover's quarrel but a war. A war that I can't lose. Seeing that how Min Yoongi left his tags at my door. I think I'm at a slight advantage.
Jeon Jungkook
It's raining outside
Park Jimin
Hmm... It has been the same since morning.
Jeon Jungkook
*looks outside* Those men... It would have been great if they were here since a while ago.
Park Jimin
it's about time for them to come.
Jeon Jungkook
Right? They will come soon right?
Min Yoongi
Alpha Team, Attention!
Salute to the commander.
Power of unity.
Min Yoongi
Joint operation mission has been completed. Sir.
Min Yoongi
His body... not found.
Jeon Jungkook
Commander Kim?
Jeon Jungkook
I thought it was Captain Kim when I saw the jeep.
But what brings you here?
Kim Seokjin
I'm really...
Sorry...
Kim Seokjin
Special forces Captain Kim Taehyung
Kim Seokjin
During the tactical attack.
He passed away.
Jeon Jungkook
I... I don't understand a single thing. What should I do?
it's not real.
Jeon Jungkook
*eyes full of tears*
Jeon Jungkook
*receives the letter, hands trembling*
Kim Taehyung
Before we go on a mission, we write a will.
I hope that this letter will never be given to you. But if by a rare chance, you're reading this will right now. Then I have not been able to keep my promise. The promise not to be hurt, the promise to not die, the promise that i would come back for sure. I haven't kept any of those. I am sorry.
In the place where you are, it is always bright. I met you and i loved you. And for being apart from you, I'm really sorry for that.
Kim Taehyung
I know it's shameless. But I would like for You not to cry for too long. More than anyone else. you have to live well and brightly.
Jeon Jungkook
*stares blankly*
Kim Taehyung
Don't remember me for too long.
Kim Taehyung
I'm asking this favor from you.
Kim Namjoon
You're asking permission to go to Albania for two weeks for a volunteer job?
Kim Namjoon
Ah... Is this has anything to do with your boyfriend?
Kim Namjoon
I know you're lying. Dr.Jeon
Jeon Jungkook
Lying or not, it has nothing to do with you. I came here for your permission to go to Albania.
Kim Namjoon
And if I refused?
Jeon Jungkook
I'm still going.
Kim Namjoon
Alright... *sighs* Just comeback safely.
Jeon Jungkook
Thank you Director.
Jungkook woke up early the next day and prepared for his first day of duty. Arrived at night the day before, the doctor didn't have the opportunity to admire the place. It had warm weather and bright sky.
He and other doctors did a check-up for children to the eldest patients. During his break, he was feeling gloomy. It was Taehyung's one-year death anniversary today.
Jungkook was inside medical tent.
A doctor entered his tent when he was getting ready to go to a desert today.
Jung Hoseok
Here... Every doctor who leaves the camp must bring this.
Jung Hoseok
*said while handing the walkie-talkie to Jungkook*
Jung Hoseok
You're going to the river side? Do you need company?
Jeon Jungkook
No,, thank you, it's not far. I can go by myself.
Jung Hoseok
*nods* What is that for?
Jung Hoseok
*pointing at the tray full of food, fruits and wine*
Jeon Jungkook
Oh... It's a ceremonial table for a death anniversary.
Jung Hoseok
I see, Death anniversary? May I know who?
Jeon Jungkook
Someone who is very important to me.
Saying that Jungkook took his small bag along with a bundle of flowers.
Jeon Jungkook
It won't be long
Jung Hoseok
Ok, by the way what is your call sign?
Jeon Jungkook
Umm... it's Pretty one in English
Jung Hoseok
*chuckles* it suits you, but I think Beauty is more appropriate for you.
Jeon Jungkook
*laughed lightly* ok
Jung Hoseok
I know it's kind of late, but I'm sorry you lost someone important.
Promising to return soon and taking the walkie-talkie with him, Jungkook started to walk to the desert, bag and flowers in hand.
The more he approached his destination, the heavier his heart became.
With each step he took, he would finally say goodbye to Taehyung.
When he arrived, he arranged some stones and then set the flowers on the top of the stones. A lot of memories reeled before him, their memories together... The happy and sad ones, all of them just making him feel more emotional.
Someone on his walkie-talkie asked him to bring Lidocaine on his way back. Jungkook quickly wipes his tears.
Jeon Jungkook
I'll return soon with it.
After a while, his walkie talkie buzzed again and he heard a voice he thought he would never hear again
His heart almost stopped. For a moment, he stood there unmoving.
Jeon Jungkook
Was it a dream?
He was sure he heard his voice.
But if it wasn't a dream, and his Taehyung was still alive...
He quickly took his phone and checked his messages. They were unread.
Jeon Jungkook
Perhaps it was just my imagination.
But then, when he looked again at his phone, his messages suddenly changed to read. He's heartbeat turned faster.
Jeon Jungkook
He's alive *gasps*
From the distance, Jungkook could hear the sound of chopper.
Jeon Jungkook
Could it be real?
Kim Taehyung
Pretty one, turn around over.
Jeon Jungkook
*lost in thoughts* Should I do it? What if it's all imagination and I will need to sort my life again after this?
But his feelings told him to just turn around.
At first he didn't see anything.
And then a figure walked from the distance.
Jungkook recognized the person.
He was the one, Jungkook mourned for a year, the one who caused him to cry.
Instinctively, he moved forward
Jeon Jungkook
This can't be
The closer he moved, the clearer he could see him. Taehyung. He's still alive.
Overwhelmed by his feelings, Jungkook started to run only to fall down on his feet.
Taehyung ran to him and held his shoulders
Jungkook could see him closely.
Taehyung looked thinner and haggard.
His face showed many dry wounds.
But his eyes were the same, when they said goodbye a year ago.
Kim Taehyung
It's been really a long time
Jeon Jungkook
You... You were alive?
That was all he could say
Kim Taehyung
I keep overcoming difficulties.
Saying that he took Jungkook in his embrace.
It was the moment Jungkook knew he was not dreaming.
Jeon Jungkook
You were alive
Taehyung hugged him tighter.
Jungkook could only close his eyes.
Jeon Jungkook
You were alive.
Jungkook now hugged him in return, tears in his eyes, feeling his heart warming, Taehyung's presence filling the hole inside his heart.
He missed his Taehyung so much.
Kim Taehyung
I'm back. My love.
One year of mourning and sadness, between the reality of death and the hope he was still alive, and now, he was here infront of him.
Taehyung kept his promise to return when the season changed.
In moments where time bends, love remains... A whisper of the past and a promise to the future.
