"You're such a messy eater" taehyung said as he wiped the chocolate at the corner of his lips with his thumb. jungkook didn't reacted as he was too focused on licking ice cream in his hands. 

Taehyung admired him while he was busy with his ice cream, he gently tucked his hair behind his ear and started combing his soft locks with his fingers.

"I want more ice cream" jungkook looked up at him and said.

"you can't or else you'll catch a cold. you eat too much ice cream baby" tae pinched his nose and jungkook whined in return.

"No i want more" he huffed folding his arms over his chest.

"Fine" taehyung rolled his eyes and ordered another ice cream. they were in an ice cream parlor right now for their little ice cream date. Jungkook loved ice cream and they had to go every now and then to entertain his cravings.

"I love you so so much" taehyung said gently cupping his face when he was on his second ice cream. 

"I love you more" jungkook shrugged.

"No I love you more" taehyung protested.

"No I love you more" jungkook glared at his handsome husband.

"I love you so much that if you want I can put whole world under your feet" taehyung smirked. Jungkook stopped eating and looked up at him.

" I love you so much that if death is coming for you, i'd give up my life for you" jungkook smiled and said and with honesty. Taehyung's heart skipped a beat.

"Jungkook promise me one thing" taehyung said in a stern voice.

"What"

"You'll never do it. If death is coming for me i'm the one who should take it." tae looked directly in his eyes. 

"No_" he was cut mid speech when taehyung slid his chair beside jungkook's and noe they were only inches apart.

"Promise me you'll never hurt yourself. I can live or even die peacefully knowing you're safe but if you're hurt because of me, I'll never be able to overcome the grief. I would die my worst if you did that" tae took his hands in his own.

Jungkook frowned and looked at him.

"Why can't i do that. You always protect me so i will also protect you" jungkook pouted and looked away.

"Promise me you won't do that, or i'll never forgive you" taeyung practically growled and squeezed his hand. Jungkook looked at him and hesitantly nodded.

"I p-promise" jungkook said and taehyung smiled his dark expressions immediately relaxed and pecked jungkook's lips.

"That's a good boy" taehyung pulled apart and said. 

Jungkook smiled and loosened his crossed fingers under the table.

I would happily die for you taehyung

****

Jungkook had his mobile phone attached to his ears when he heard a maniac laughter of a female.

"If he can't be mine , then he can't be yours too" the girl said and jungkook knew all too well who she was. He dashed towards taehyung.

Taehyung was going to dial jungkook's number when he felt two arms hugging him strongly from behind before he can respond he heard two bullets being fired one after the other, the mobile phone fell from his hands

"TAEHYUNG" hoseok shouted as his eyes widened hearing the gunshots but he froze in his place when he realized who was the actual reciever.

The arms that were hugging taehyung strongly initially were now loosing it's strength. 

Taehyung chuckled lightly.

who is fooling around with crackers 

 why someone is hugging me

I have to go home to my baby

I have no time for this

Jungkookie must be worried

yeah let's go home and then koo will cuddle me

His mind was currently coming up with a lot of possibilities in a mini second except one. 

NO ! Jungkook promised him. Right? 

The hold around him totally vanished. Hoseok ran behind him. He can't process what he was saying. Only his lips were moving but everything around him was dead silent. The world lost it's voice. 

Don't turn taehyung don't. His mind and heart were screaming at him. If you turn around you'll become a rock. 

Don't turn around !!

" t-tae" he heard a weak voice in the dead silent world. He mustered up every single shred of courage left in his body to turn around. His eyes were stoned when he looked at the sight in front of him. He was standing like a statue there. His muscles weren't cooperating and he couldn't move at all.

Hoseok was sitting on the ground , fumbling with his phone while the guards were gathering around them so does some of his coworkers and other lawyers. 

A boy's head was placed in hoseok's lap with his eyes closed. He was laying there lifelessly and hoseok was shouting at him. He blinked a few times in confusion.

What is happening

he felt warmth spreading on his cheeks and then he felt tears leaving his eyes uncontrollably.

Why was he crying. He had to go home. Move taehyung.

Hoseok harshly pulled his arm and he finally came in his senses. Now he can hear what he was saying and what other people were saying.

"Taehyung help me for god sake" hoseok yelled at him.

He crouched beside him and sat on the floor. He slightly pushed hoseok away and pulled up the lifeless body in his arms. He ran towards his car. Hoseok opened the backseat door for them and he got inside with jungkook who wasn't even breathing. Hoseok quickly got in driver's seat and drove away.

"Jungkook , my love wake up we have to go for our ice cream date" he  whispered placing his lips on jungkook's.

"Please wake up"

"I can't breath jungkookie"

"Please please wake up"

"You promised me, you can't do this"

"Wake up or i'll never forgive you" 

He wasn't making any sense but he continued his one sided conversation. He slightly turned him over and there it was. Two nasty open wounds, one on his left shoulder and one a little below it. Blood was constantly oozing out of it. He quickly emoved his shirt and gently pressed it on the wounds.

Hoseok was rushing towards the hospital but the distance wasn't ending. After what felt like hours they were finally in front of the hospital's building. 

Doctors were already present there at the entrance of building as hoseok had already informed them and their families. 

In a matter of second Jungkook was taken to the ICU. Taehyung wasn't allowed to go inside and he didn't insisted too. He stood outside the door of ICU shirtless,  pants stained red, eyes bloodshot, hairs disheveled and his world crashing down. 

What was happening? Everything was okay a few minutes ago. 

They made love yesterday. He made breakfast for his love in the morning. They teased each other then he dropped jungkook at his university. He called him twice and jungkook told him that driver dropped him at their apartment. After that he didn't realized and his phone went dead because he forgot to charge it in the morning he was too busy preparing perfect breakfast for his jungkook. And now he was standing in front of ICU while his jungkook was battling for his life.

He didn't realized for how many moments he stood there glaring at the door of ICU when Yejinn shook him. She was crying, he looked around and there was his family. Miri , Hyunbin, Yoongi and a pregnant Jieun who was crying hysterically.

"Why are you crying" he asked his mom coldly.

"Taehyung_" hyunbin started but taehyung spoke before him.

"Don't you all dare to cry." He yelled at them.

" He is just teasing me and he will wake up soon. He is just trying to prove how much he loves me. Silly" taehyung chuckled. His eyes void of any emotions.

"He is fine, he is okay. he will wake up and then we will go for our ice cream date" taehyung said.

"And if he won't wake up," he looked at miri

"I won't forgive him" he said bitterly and went to sit on the floor beside the door of ICU.

"He is okay. 

He is perfectly fine.

He'll wake up.

You all are so negative.

He is fine."

he chanted it again and again while fisting his hairs and his body shaking back and forth violently.

"Taehyung" yejin's voice broke. she sat beside him on the floor.

"Mom my jungkookie will be fine right" he questioned her and she quickly nodded her head.

"Yes he'll be perfectly fine. After all he is our strong baby right" yejin told him and he smiled.

"Yes he is so strong." taehyung grinned.

" You know mom we went for shopping yesterday and he looked gorgeous in everything. So I bought all dresses for him but then he got mad at me for wasting money. I'm sure he is teasing me for this." he said with a focused look.

"Or maybe i didn't bought him his second ice cream that day" his brows furrowed.

"I'm so stupid mom. From now on i'll let him have as much ice cream as he wants. Then he won't be mad at me" he said with determination. Yejin looked at him and cried more while she tried to nod.

" Mom I'll only do what he'll tell me to do. Please tell him to wake up" he pleaded and yejin hugged him tightly. He buried his face in her shoulder and started crying loudly.

"Please tell him to wake up. Please mom" he shouted in her shoulders while hitting the ground.

Miri was hiccuping in yoongi's hold while jieun was seated on the bench praying that her dear dongsang will be perfectly okay.

While inside the ICU doctors were struggling to get him to breath and maintain hi vitals.

"This is not good" one of the doctors mumbled looking at the location of bullet inside his body. He rushed to take out the bullets before it was too late.
