°Can't we be together?°

...✿✿✿✿✿...

"I don't love you anymore, so just stay out of my life" the words rang in my head when I saw a glimpse of someone to whom those words belonged.

Jeon Jungkook, the only love of my life whom I treasured like a precious jewel but he left me saying, he doesn't have any feelings for me anymore. The next day I heard he was getting married to someone. I was all heartbroken when I got to know it, my hopes of getting him back were literally crushed by this news. As the day of his marriage were getting closer I was feeling suffocated. I tried to meet him so many times. I was literally ready to beg him if it could just stop him from leaving me Nd getting married but I saw him with his would be groom. He seemed to be happy, I could see his smile even from afar...I thought maybe he is happy without me, this marriage is his happiness so I just left. I couldn't stand living in the same city as him so I left it and went back to my hometown but after five years I'm back here again cuz...

"Taehyung-ssi" I was lost in my thoughts when I heard someone call my name, upon looking up I saw, that it was the girl with whom I'm getting married at the end of this month and this is the reason of me being here in this city which I started to hate after losing him.

"Hello, miss Dami" I greeted her with a small smile and she reciprocated back, taking the seat in front of me. The purpose of this marriage is solely based on business. Both of us don't share any feelings for each other, we are doing it just for our parents.

"How was your flight Taehyung-ssi? I heard you reached here earlier in the morning, I'm sorry you had to come here to meet me, you must be tired" she said with a tint of worry in her voice and I just smiled casually.

"It's okay Dami-ssi, it wasn't your fault, the meeting was fixed by our parents and flight was quite good so I'm feeling just fine" I said in a nonchalant tone and she nodded with a small smile.

"Taehyung-ssi, if you don't mind can we go out from here?"

"Sure"

"There's a small park on the end of this road, would you like to take a walk there with me?" she asked with a smile, joining her hands with an excitement and I just nodded.

We came out of the Café and were walking towards the park Miss Dami talked about when she suddenly asked me something, and I was taken aback with it.

"Can't I? I-it's okay, maybe I shouldn't have asked, I'm sorry for making you feel uncomfortable" she said in a low tone, looking down and I just sighed internally. She just asked me if she can hold my hand but I couldn't even say yes for it.

"Taehyung-ssi, can I ask you something... actually it's about our marriage"

"What is it?"

"Do you think this marriage is a right thing to do? I, I know we are doing it for our parents but...but still I have some expectations, I don't want to be in an unwanted marriage feeling worthless my whole life" she said the last part like a small whisper but I could hear her, I don't know what should I say to her. She isn't wrong to expect something from her future partner but I don't think I can fulfill those expectations.

"You can rethink about your decision of marrying me" I said nonchalantly, looking into nothingness. I don't want to give any fake hope to her so I just said what I think is right.

"O-okay" she said in a low tone and then we both just continued our walk in the silence.

Some moments might have passed when she got a call and had to leave. I just stayed there in the park, looking up at the sky. I wondered if earlier it was really Jungkook or my eyes were just playing tricks on me.

"Dàmn you Kim Taehyung!" I cursed myself in my head for thinking about someone else's Omega.

...~...

It was around 8 in the night of the other day and the sky was completely embraced by the darkness, some stars were twinkling here and there while the moon was hiding in the clouds and in the midst of it, I don't know where I'm walking to. I had a meeting with my friend but I got ditched at last moment cuz they think, just because they have someone special in thier life so they can treat others like a nuisance. Hmm, nevermind!

"Are you scared?"

I heard a creepy voice which came out from an dark alley which was in right side of me, I wondered if I should go and check or not but then I heard someone's muffled voice, seemed like as if begging to leave.

"What's happening here man" I muttered under my breath and walked inside the alley. I saw there were some men, to be precise some thugs gathered into a corner, looking down on someone I can't see cuz they were standing in circle.

"Hey, the fck you think you are doing" a man with skinny body said to me cuz...well I kicked a Can there on the ground which hit that man in his head so he turned to me, asking that.

"Uhm hello, did it hit hard?" I asked with a nervous smile, not cuz I'm afraid... I'm just teasing him.

"Yes it did, you better apologize and leave from here or it won't end good for you" he said with that trashy mouth of his while walking towards me weirdly.

"Is your leg broken mister?" I asked being confused about his walk and he hissed.

"Are you gonna fix it?" he asked holding my collar.

"Sure, I'm a doctor after all" I said with an angelic smile and kicked him hard into his knees that he fell down, whimpering in pain.

"Ooops, guess I fixed you too fast" I said with a teasing smile and he looked at me with raged eyes when I kicked him right into his face with my knee and now he was lying down peacefully.

Well the moment I knew will come, indeed came cuz those other thugs came towards me running as if I was gonna leave without fixing them, fools.

10 minutes and they all were down. Come to think of it, learning Taekwondo wasn't that bad of a choice eomma made for me.

"Hope I have fixed you all properly, if needed, please think of me again" I said to those thugs with a sweet smile who were near to get passed out and then walked towards the person who was hiding in the corner. He had his ears covered with his both hands and was crying hiding his face into his knees. Guess he is still scared.

"Hey" I called out softly, crouching down in front of him but he still didn't look up so I reached out my hand to him and patted over his arm gently, calling out for his attention once again. When he looked up, I felt myself frozen on it's place cuz...

"TaeTae" I heard him say with those teary doe eyes and bruised face of his. He just jumped into my arms like a small bunny and hugged me tightly, sobbing into my chest.

"Koo" I whispered out while my eyes got teary cuz of his condition. I should have just killed them.

Some moments passed by but he was still hugging me tightly, not ready to leave at all. I thought a little and then I just picked him up in my arms while he was clinging onto me like a koala.

I brought him to my home, his bruises and injuries were needed to be treated. I somehow managed to get him out of my arms and put him on my sofa. After that I went away to bring my medic kit and some warm water for cleansing whereas he sat there innocently like a lost bunny.

"Let me treat you okay?" I asked sitting in front of him on the table and he just looked at me with those big doe eyes of his, nodding his head a little.

"Tell me if it's hurt hm?"

"Okie" he said in a tiny voice, looking at particular something with scared eyes. Well he is scared of needles and all so I could understand his fear but it's needed.

"We aren't using it b--" I bit my lips before the word comes out.

"Okie" he said with a relief in his voice and I smiled softly to myself.

"Why did you go into that alley" I asked while cleaning his wounds.

"I-it's shortcut" he said in a low tone, looking down and I just sighed to myself.

"Were they trying to force you?"

"A-ani, they wanted money b-but I didn't have much that's why they were beating me"

"Couldn't you fight back even a little"

"I, I was scared... I'm a weakling anyway" he said sadly with despair in his voice.

"Hmm" I just hummed, feeling annoyed, hearing what he said. Guess some things never change, he still looks down on himself.

"TaeTae, hurt" he hissed in pain when I was applying the medicine on his bruises he has got on his face.

"I'm sorry, bear with it just a little" I said, blowing some air on his face to calm him down while he just kept looking at me with those big doe eyes of his which has become teary once again now.

"I'm so sorry, I didn't mean to make you feel pain" I said finally getting done and he just blinks his eyes, looking at me with a soft gaze.

"Jungkook" I called out but got no response so taking the chance I took out the injection...yeah I lied to him earlier, he needs to take an injection to reduce the pain and also I need to stitch some of his wounds cuz he has got deep cuts. Those fúckers were trying to kill him or what.

"TAETAE!!" he screamed on the top of his lungs and I can't help but chuckle a little, indeed some things never change.

"Pain, pain" he said like a baby, looking at me innocently with his those beautiful doe eyes. He is too adorable.

"It's okay, now all the pain will be gone like woosh! don't worry" I said patting over his head and he hugged me once again which made me stop functioning. I, I really don't know what should I do, he is acting like as if we were never apart and it's really getting hard for me to hold myself back from hugging him back and adore him as if he is mine.

"Can't we be together TaeTae?" I heard him say before he fell into a slumber cuz of the injection I gave to him just a moment ago.

"Am I hearing things or what" I mumbled, looking down at his sleeping face and then lied him down on sofa properly, coming out of my trance. I stitched his wounds on his left arm and side stomach then it was all done.

After that, I just sat there on the table staring at his sleeping figure, I was actually wondering about his family, they must be getting worried for him as it's already 9.30 so after debating with myself for another 10 minutes I searched for his phone, which was still with him in his pocket thankfully.

I took out the phone and as it wasn't locked so I just opened his contacts and I was speechless seeing the contact list. There was only 3 contacts there just like before. Guess he still has social anxiety disorder. The 3 contacts were "'Appa, Boss and...Nae Sarang"'. In the past, one of the contacts belonged to me, '"TaeTae"' but not anymore.

"Whom should I call? His appa or...or his alpha?" I thought for a moment and then my thumb clicked on the last contact itself. I just cursed myself for doing it, I don't know how will I talk to him and what would I say.

I was busy cursing myself when my phone started to vibrate in my pocket and I took it out, wondering who was calling me at this time but seeing the caller ID, I was confused and shocked cuz...

"Koo?" with bewildered mind, I ended the call in his phone and my phone went silent as well, then I just opened the contact info of "Nae Sarang" in his phone and it was mine, the number was mine and so was the picture.

I don't know what to feel or think, It's just so confusing. Why he has my number under such endearment and, and his alpha? Doesn't he have his number or anything.

I was getting crazy with my thoughts when his phone made a "ting" sound indicating that he got a message so I checked for it immediately.

"Where are you, Kookie? Are you going to be late, tonight?" it was from his father. He must be getting worried.

"Should I answer him?" I wondered to myself when my eyes fell on Jungkook who was sleeping peacefully with a cute pout forming over his lips. He was looking so adorable in this moment, just like a baby, so innocent and so fragile. Looking at him I can't help but smile and then I did what I thought was right thing to do right now.

"I'm at Sauna, will be staying here tonight" I texted his father and the reply was here.

"okay" I smiled boxy like seeing the message his father sent. Guess he still stay out there whenever he is upset or feeling down.

"Sleep well, I'll prepare something for you till then" I whispered to his sleeping figure and he just snuggled into pillow which made me smile. I walked away from him and put the medic kit on it's place and the water bowl in kitchen. I freshened up myself quickly and went into kitchen to prepare some soup for him and some other things, not so heavy but healthy.

It was around 11.15 when I got done with everything and walked up to him who happened to be awake and scratching over the pillow with his index finger like a small child.

"What happened? Is something troubling you?" I asked, taking the seat on table in front of him and holding his hand into mine.

"TaeTae" he whispered out and got up immediately with a jerk which opened up his wound a little on his side stomach again as the fresh blood can be seen on the bandage and he was hissing in the pain.

"Can you just stay still or want me to do your dressing again?" I didn't say about stitches or he is going to freak out as if he saw a ghost.

"S-sorry" he said in a painful voice which came out like a whisper making me feel hurt as well.

"It's okay, don't jerk around your body like this or it'll pain" I said, getting up and helped him sit properly, supporting his back to the sofa and his sides with pillows.

"Is it hurting a lot?" I asked caressing his face and he seemed as if he was frozen which made me realise of my action and I took back my hand immediately.

"Sorry, I didn't mean to"

"It's okay" he said, lowering his gaze and I just wondered if he was clingy to me earlier just because he was scared and needed to feel safe.

"W-why, why am I here... weren't we there in that alley?" he asked after taking a pause and I sighed internally. Short term memory loss, he forgot what he did or said to me.

'Cuz you were clinging to me' I wanted to say it but that's not the only reason I brought him here.

"Cuz you were hurt" I said to him with a small smile, and his mouth took an 'o' shape while his eyes kept blinking as if he was thinking something.

"Did it hurt" I asked stroking his hairs and he nodded.

"They were pulling my hairs" he said with a sad pout, caressing over his temples.

"Is it still hurting" I asked taking his hands down and he nodded slightly.

"little"

"How about you have something then I'll give you your medicines and all the pain will be gone" I asked with a soft smile and he just nodded.

After an hour when we were done with everything. I took a sit beside him this time.

"Jungkook-ah" I called out, holding his hand into mine gently and he looked at me, humming a little, asking me to continue what I want to say.

"Did you really had got rid of your all feelings for me?" I asked, my voice coming out sadly on it's own and I felt his hand getting stiffened in my hold.

"How is your alpha? Does he treat you well?" I asked and I could feel his hand were getting sweaty.

"T-taehyung" he mumbled out with a difficulty, trying to move away from me and get his hand free.

"Guess I have been living in a lie all these years" I said bitterly and let go of his hand. He didn't say anything, just stayed there keeping his head low. I want to ask him so many things but I know I won't get answers of anything at the moment. I don't want to trouble him more so I stood up from there and he looked up at me immediately. His eyes were teary and looked like as if he was afraid that I was gonna leave him alone.

"You need a good sleep for a proper recovery, Bun" I said, scooping him up in my arms whereas he just snuggled into my chest like a small baby and I can't help but smile.

The night passed by, I was there beside him to take care of him and also I knew he didn't want to be alone so I just stayed. When the morning came I could feel a cramp on my neck cuz I just fell asleep, supporting myself to the bed's headboard but then I felt myself relaxing on the sight of an angel like beauty which was of course him. He was sleeping peacefully and I got busy staring at him but after some moments he started to frown cuz the sunlight was getting inside through curtains and he was trying to avoid it, moving his face here and there. It made me chuckle a little and I just got up from there to close the curtains properly.

After an hour or so, he was awake and we were on dining table. I was feeding him his breakfast while he ate like a cute bunny, making me smile.

"What are you going to do about your work and your appa?" I asked while cleaning the dishes and he looked at me with a confused baby face.

"I, I'll ask for leave at work and, and appa...I, I don't know"

"You can stay here and think of some excuse if you don't want him to know about last night"

"S-stay here?" he asked looking at me with his widened doe eyes and I chuckled slightly, nodding to him.

"okie" he said, fidgeting with his fingers and I smiled to myself. Maybe later on he will be able to tell me what really happened that time.

"Bun"

"hm?"

"Nothing" I said, smiling boxy like and walked away from there to get ready to go to the hospital. I just wanted to call him like that, it's just feels so nice when he responds to it, looking at me with that innocent face of his.

...~...

"TaeTae" I heard him, calling out to me as soon as I entered inside the house. Upon looking at him, he looked quite troubled, I wondered if it was cuz of his injuries.

"What happened bun? Are you okay?" I asked, cupping his face but he just looked at me with sad eyes.

"Who is he, Taehyung-ssi" I heard a voice from a distance of some steps. When I looked up I saw, it was Miss Dami, who was walking towards us from hall.

"Dami-ssi, when did you come here and why?" I asked being confused about her sudden visit to my place. I wasn't informed about having any meet with her then why is she here.

"I just wanted to meet you but, who is this Omega boy and what is he doing in your house in your absence" she asked with a tint of misjudgement in her words and I could feel Jungkook staggered a bit, hearing her so I held him immediately.

"He is my Ex-boyfriend, for the moment my patient" I said nonchalantly, looking at her with poker face and she was stunned.

"Y-your Ex?"

'I said patient as well, didn't I?' I said to myself in my head and helped Jungkook to the sofa.

"Let me handle her then we will talk, hm?" I whispered to him softly and he nodded innocently, while his eyes were stuck down on the floor.

"Taehyung-ssi"

"Dami-ssi, didn't you say the other day that you have some expectations from your marriage, you don't want to be in an unwanted marriage feeling worthless your whole life" I said interrupting her in between and walking towards her and she just nodded.

"So I just want to tell you that I still have feelings for him, it's been years since we broke up but I could never move on from him, he is the only one whom I can ever love, I just want to be with him and no one else"

"W-why, why didn't you tell me this the other day? And, and why did you say yes for the marriage?"

"I said yes for the marriage cuz of my parents and I didn't tell you the other day cuz I didn't think it was needed, but the tone you used for him just now, I thought it was needed for you to know who is he and why he can be here even in my absence" I said with a tint of annoyance in my tone at the end and she looked down.

"I'm sorry, I didn't mean to offend you"

"Can we break off the marriage?" I asked nonchalantly and she looked at me with a shocked face.

"Are you guys getting back together"

"It doesn't matter if I'm getting him back in my life again or not, I don't want to ruin your life with this unwanted marriage" I said with a poker face and she nodded.

"okay" she said in a small voice and then walked away from there.

Once she was out, I walked towards Jungkook who was sitting there like an abandoned bunny. I smiled and sat in front of him on the table, taking his hands into mine.

"Are you okay Bun? Did she say something mean to you?" I asked in a soft voice, caressing my thumbs on the back of his hand and he just shook his head in no.

"S-she didn't"

"Then why were you looking so scared hm?"

"F-fiancee, she said she was your fiancee" he said with glittering eyes biting his lower lip which was trembling as if he was trying to control himself from crying.

"Was, she was!" I said, sitting beside him and taking him into my embrace gently.

"I love you TaeTae, I never even once thought of leaving you. It, it was hard to do but, but... I'm so sorry, please don't leave me" he said between his sobs, holding onto me tightly and I took him in my lap carefully.

'my baby'

"I won't leave you my BunnyKoo, don't cry" I said with an assurance in my voice and patted over his back softly in order to calm him down.

Once he calmed down, I pulled him back from my embrace and he looked at with his those big doe eyes which has become puffy cuz of crying so much whereas his cheeks, nose and lips were all cherry red making him look adorable.

"Are you okay now?" I asked wiping away his tears gently and he nodded.

"Will you tell me the reason now? Why you left me at that time saying you don't have feelings for me and, and your marriage" I asked in a gentle tone, taking his hands into mine with utmost care and his eyes were welling up again.

"It's okay, you don't need to say if you don't want to talk about it right now, Bun" I said softly, touching my forehead to his to which he closed his eyes, letting his tears fall. I just want to kiss away all of his tears but I need to wait until he opens up to me about what really happened.

"It's okay, Bun" I said kissing over his cheek softly and pulled back.

"Are you hungry?" I asked, cupping his cheeks and he shook his head with his eyelashes dropped downwards.

"Ah, but I'm so hungry, can I eat you? You are looking like cherries" I said playfully, squeezing his cheeks softly and he broke into his bunny smile.

'My adorable baby'

"Want ice-cream?" I asked, knowing that's one thing which cheers him up the most when he is sad and he nodded in tiny, a little shyly. Aigoo he was feeling embarrassed, he can't say no to ice-cream after all.

"okay my baby bun, just give me a moment" I said and walked away from there after pecking over his head.

The time passed by and it was time to sleep, I asked what he said to his father about not going home and he said, he told his father that, he was going out of station cuz of his work and his father just believed him. Well, that was not so like his father, In the past he asked a lot of questions whenever Jungkook had to go out of station for his work but he just agreed at once this time, guess some things have changed.

"TaeTae" he called out to me, reaching out his hand to mine and I looked down at him.

"What happened bun" I asked, caressing over his head but he held my hand and hugged it, taking it close to his chest.

"You were lost" he said, looking at me innocently and I leaned over at him a little, nuzzling into his cheeks slightly.

"Appa thought, me getting married to someone whom he knew since birth was better than me getting married to someone whom I had known for some mere years" he said suddenly, looking into nothingness and I looked at him with sad eyes.

"Did he force you for the marriage?" I asked, caressing his cheek with my free hand and he nodded, biting over his lower lip.

"I didn't want to get married to someone who wasn't you, I told this to appa, I tried to convince him somehow that how you were the best choice for me but, but he said he will kill himself if I didn't agree to get married to the son of his friend. I, I still didn't agree thinking he was just trying to scare me...but, but he did it for real, he cut his wrist right into front of me, asking me to say yes for the marriage. I was so scared seeing the blood oozing out from his hand. When the doctor said that it was a vital point and he could die from it, I felt my whole world tearing apart" He said while his tears found it's way out of his eyes.

I can understand his pain, his father is the only family he had ever since he was a little baby. His mother had died after some days of his birth and cuz of his social anxiety disorder, he never had any friend or something so his father was his whole world until he met me. Though his father was quite strict sometimes and put a lot of restrictions on him but still Jungkook loved him dearly.

"Lastly I agreed. I didn't want you to try to convince appa cuz I was scared that he will try to harm himself again so, so I lied to you about not having any feelings for you anymore" he took a pause and then continued again, looking at me.

"I wanted you to forget about me and leave for good, I'm sorry" he said while his tears kept falling down and I hugged him, lying down beside him.

"It's okay Koo, I understand" I said, caressing over his arms.

"For my appa I, I acted as if I was happy, but the groom ran away on the day of marriage. He had someone he loved and I was glad for what he did" he said with a small smile, sniffling a little.

"Really? what was your appa's reaction" I asked with a surprised face and he looked at me.

"He was devastated but...but it all turned out well for me later on, he never asked me to get married again nor he forced me for anything. He stopped putting any restriction on me, and let me do whatever I wanted" he said hugging me close and I caressed over his back.

"Overall, I got everything I ever asked for, except you" I heard him mumbling to himself and it made me smile.

"You have me as well, my BunnyKoo" I said whisper like, pecking over his head and he looked up.

"Will you accept me?" he asked in a tiny voice and I smiled.

"Always, as long as you wish to be with me too" I said, hugging him closer and he smiled, snuggling into my chest.

"Why didn't you ever try to contact me, I saw you still have my number" I asked looking up at the ceiling while caressing over his arm, gently when he pulled back from the hug and it made me look at him.

"Did, did you see my phone?" he asked with a red face and I bit over my lower lip to control myself from smiling, he was embarassed once again. So cute!

"Wae? Is there something to hide from me, my BunBun?" I asked cupping his cheek and he looked down, shaking his head in no.

"I, I didn't have the courage to call you. I, I myself asked you to leave from my life and it, it felt like I was being selfish everytime I tried to call you or thought about getting you back." he said with a sad pout forming over his lips and I can't help but coo at him.

"It's okay baby, you have all the rights to come back to me, you aren't being selfish or anything" I said, giving small kisses over his face and he closed his eyes, humming with sigh of relief

"I love you my TaeTae" he said with closed eyes, smiling his bunny smile and I pecked over his lips.

"I love you even more my Koo" I said and he looked at me with shiny eyes, moving even closer to me but...

"Ah~" he looked at me with a sad baby face cuz he felt pain in his rib.

"I should have just killed them" I said with a tint of anger in my voice and he giggled, trying to avoid his pain.

"It's okay, I got you back again cuz of it" he said smiling cutely and I smiled, shaking my head.

"Wait, I'll get you some painkiller" I said, trying to get up but he held my hand.

"I'm okay TaeTae, just lay here with me" he said patting over the bed and I complied.

"If it's get unbearable then tell me hm?" I asked, caressing over his bruises gently to which he blinked his eyes, smiling bunny like and I can't help but kiss him.

"Will your parents agree?" he asked, snuggling his head into my chest and I smiled.

"They will! I never show any interest in getting married or having any relationship that's why lastly they thought to arrange a marriage through their some business partners but now that I have you, I can tell them that I don't want that marriage but you and they will agree"

"Really?" he asked looking up at me and blinking his eyes cutely and I can't help but smile at his cuteness.

"yes my baby, really! who can resist having such a cute son-in-law after all" I said, bumping my head to his lightly and nuzzled over his nose to which he giggled like a small baby.

I'm so happy to get him back in my life. I will never let go of him again nor I'll allow him to leave me.
