@☼┊wen taehyung ᵒ - DONE -

@☼┊wen jungkook ᵃ He barely heard him honestly, his mind completely unfocused and still reeling from all the information he'd just received. He stumbled when his arm was pulled on, nearly falling at Jungkooks feet but he managed to save himself from that humiliation. "Yes master.. your instructions are crystal clear.." it was almost painful how easy things would be for Jungkook now and there was nothing he could do to stop it. Carefully he tugged the helmet onto his head, casting one last look back at the cabin before they headed off back to his own personal version of hell.

@☼┊wen taehyung ᵒ he shrugged and got up, walking behind other. ‘ no for real. i was enjoying the sun. it was nice.’ he shrugged and walked down the path to his bike. ‘ are my instructions clear?’ jungkook pulled him back, once again not realizing his strength, before immediately pulling his arm back.
once they go to the bike, he gave him one of the helmets and put on his own, getting on the bike as he waited for taehyung to get on too.

@☼┊wen jungkook ᵃ Ah, there it was. An ultimatum. As expected of course. But now, Jungkook had the perfect reward to dangle over his head to get himself anything he could want out of Taehyung. Now that he knew his grandparents were alive and well Jungkook really had complete power over him. He glanced back into the cabin again before shaking his head a single time, breathing in slow and shaky, "I understand.. I'm ready to go home now.." He said softly, moving first to walk down the steps and head to where the bike waited for them.

@☼┊wen taehyung ᵒ jungkook stirred awake and looked at him confusedly, eyes eyes still hazed from a nap. he took other earphone out and put back in the case. ‘ don’t think i am nice. this is the reward i have been talking about. keep being a good boy and i will let you visit them. once a week, sounds good? break one of my rules and i’ll make sure you regret it’ he said it with his stern voice, stretching out his arms. ‘ ready to go back? or what? i don’t mind waiting for a whole.’ he said and stretched his legs.

@☼┊wen jungkook ᵃ Time ticked by so fast - it was like they packed an entire four years into only a few hours. He helped them tend to their small farm by the cabin, he ate everything that was handed to him, accepted every compliment and listened attentively to every word that was said to him, offering only the good parts of what had been happening in his existence - painting his life over the past few years to be what he'd only wished it had been like.
By the time the sun was well and truly starting to set he was emotionally spent. He had not cried so much since the day the village had burned to the ground. He had cried so much today there were no more tears left inside him, surely. Finally, he stepped out of the front door of the cabin, turning his eyes to Jungkook who was sleeping. For a moment he just watched, contemplated just going back inside and seeing how long he could push this for, but.. maybe if he was good he could come back again. Gently, he pulled one of Jungkooks earphones out, kneeling down beside him as he spoke softly, "Master.. the sun is setting.. Um.. Thank you... For today.."

@☼┊wen taehyung ᵒ the grandparents were glad to hear that. they chatted about life and stuff, telling about how they were for the past four years. they showed him the little lotus garden and collected lotus seeds for him to eat. they ate the sweets grandma made and showed their little farm.
jungkook fell asleep while waiting, leaning against one of the pillars as his chest slowly rose, eyes closed. he enjoyed the warmth of the sun on his tanned skin and relaxed.

@☼┊wen jungkook ᵃ His face was wet with the tears that just wouldn't stop falling, but he sat down when he was told to, his fingers gripping onto his grandpas hand weakly as his own hands shook. Listening carefully to everything they were saying he felt himself growing more and more confused. Were they talking about the same person who was sitting outside? Jungkook who never did /anything/ himself, who made Taehyung do everything for him. This same Jungkook took care of his grandparents? It didn't match up in his head. At all.
When his grandma sat down he took her hand into his as well, not wanting to let either of them go now that he had them back again. He was struggling to find words. What was he supposed to say? Of course he couldn't tell the truth though. He cleared his throat quietly, nodding his head once, "I do eat. I live with young master Wen and his home is so large and has everything I could need in it.." He was careful with how he chose his words, "He allows me to attend classes and I have many.. friends."

@☼┊wen taehyung ᵒ ‘ my sweet, sweet boy.’ grandma kissed his forehead and caressed his hair. ‘ you look so handsome now. so grown up. aigoo, have you been eating?’ she looked up and down at him, ushering to the table. the grandpa sat down next to him and took his hand, before saying. ‘ we thought you have died. everyone else did. we tried to hide, they wanted to kill us. but young master wen stopped them. he didn’t let them touch us-‘ he said and cried out. the grandma bought freshly baked bread and tea to the table, sitting down and caressing taehyung’s back in a comfortable manner. ‘ we still don’t like him.’ she chuckled through tears, trying to lighten up the mood. ‘ but he made sure we have everything. he came by to get us wood from the forest, he fixed stuff around the house. he gave us money and made sure we had everything. his actions aren’t excusable, but we have been fine’

@☼┊wen jungkook ᵃ He'd barely even noticed Jungkook leaving them alone, he was in utter disbelief, there was no way this was real. But here he was, wrapped up in the arms of the two people who'd always loved him the most. They were really here, he could smell them. The familiar scents filling him as he completely broke down between them. It had been so, so long. This whole time he'd believed they were dead.
"You've been here.. this whole time..." He repeated softly, Jungkook had been hiding them here this whole time. There was a flicker of anger amongst the happiness - Jungkook had been hiding them here this whole time and letting him believe they were dead. But, that wasn't important right now. All that mattered were they were here. And they were real. He glanced back towards the porch when Jungkook resided for the moment, shaking the confusion from his head before turning back to his grandparents again, wanting to catch up with them - wanting to make sure they'd at least been taken care of.

@☼┊wen taehyung ᵒ the grandparents weren’t very pleased to see jungkook, but they embraced his grandson, exchanging the hugs. jungkook didn’t say anything and stepped inside, he knew he wasn’t very welcome inside. he just walked inside and sat on the porch, digging his soles into the dirt and leaned back. jungkook put in his earphones and listened to the music
grandparents cried while hugging him. ‘ they spared us. the young master wen said we will be an use to them. we have been here ever since. he didn’t let us see you.’ the grandma cried out

@☼┊wen jungkook ᵃ He walked easily beside Jungkook, but remained silent for the entire walk, trying to see if he could find any sign of where Jungkook was taking him, or why he was taking him. It made him nervous. His eyes widened when they landed on the sakura tree then the wooden cabin standing beside it, trying to form a question of some sort but he was in a stunned silence. This was for him? Really for him? But, why? Did he really deserve this? Was there a catch? He stepped inside when the door opened and at first he hadn't noticed what was in the middle, too amazed at the beautiful purple decor that was all over. As soon as his eyes landed on his grandparents though, the floodgates opened without him even realising. Tears freely slipping down his cheeks as his hand dropped down to hold onto the Alphas in a shaky grip, "Jung-- Master..? What.." What was this?

@☼┊wen taehyung ᵒ he waited for the omega to pick up his speed and walked with him up the hill. the flowers brushed against his palms as they walked past until they reached the top. there was a beautiful sakura tree and next to it was a wooden cabin. he stopped walking and hummed. ‘ this is my gift since you have been such a good person. and tbh the only one who stood by my side.’ it was his some sort of apology, since he didn’t know how to properly apologize. as soon as he said that, he opened the door and let him inside purple themed traditional home. but in the middle there was taehyung’s grandparents.

@☼┊wen jungkook ᵃ When the motorcycle pulled up to a stop he quickly sat up and wiped his face dry with his hands, not wanting Jungkook to catch him getting so emotional. As nice as he seemed to be acting right now, Taehyung really didn't want to be teased about something like this. Not right now. He pulled the helmet off and slid off the bike, putting it down before he joined Jungkook at his side again, nodding his head once with a small unsure smile on his face, "I like walking." was all he responded with before his eyes were once again scanning the surroundings, it was so beautiful he wanted to commit it to memory so he would never forget

@☼┊wen taehyung ᵒ jungkook smiled when he noticed the other nudging him to look at the things behind them, but he didn’t show it. instead he focused on the road.
their motorcycle moved through lotus pier and its outside market, the beautiful sculptures dedicated to fenrir’s water powers. the lotus lakes and the beautiful gardens and wooden structures.
they had reached outside of lotus pier, the purple glass and various flower fields, before stopping at the foot of a large hill.
he stopped the engine and got off, taking off his helmet. ‘ we have to walk now.’ he said and waited for taehyung to follow.

@☼┊wen jungkook ᵃ Taehyung took the helmet from Jungkook and quickly pulled it over his head, making sure it was done up tight before he climbed onto the back behind the younger, leaning his chest forward into Jungkooks back and wrapping his arms tight around his waist. The speed had the Omega tightening his arms a little more as his eyes attempted to scan their surroundings as they rode by. It really was picturesque and he wished he had of brought along a camera - not that Jungkook would of stopped to let him take pictures but.. the thought was there.
When he saw the direction Jungkook had turned to his curiosity only heightened, sitting up a little more as his nose twitched - catching the scents of the flowers as they passed by. He wanted to just throw his body into the beautiful blankets of flowers, to disappear from the world. Without even thinking he'd started to nudge Jungkook and point things out as they caught his eye, their reflections on a glassy watertop as they passed by, a particularly pretty patch of flowers in the distance. After a while of the excitement passing he eventually dropped his weight down into Jungkook again, pressing his cheek into the Alphas back, his eyes were tearing up at the scenery that they were passing. It felt like home.

@☼┊wen taehyung ᵒ jungkook reached for two helmets. yes, he was reckless, but he wanted to live. he buckled up his helmet on his head and got up. the alpha waited for him to get up and put on his helmet as well. as soon as they both were seated and taehyung’s arms were forced around jungkook’s waist, he pressed on the gas pedal.
it was snowing, the moonstone valley roads were covered in snow. it was beautiful, the mountain scenery and the falling flakes.
he drove through the village, but he didn’t stop, however, he took a turn to drive towards lotus pier.
the closer they moved to yunmeng, the greener surroundings were, soon they entered the moist and warm lakey scenery, the meadows being cowered with various flowers, laying there like a colorful carpet.

@☼┊wen jungkook ᵃ He didn't protest or argue when he was pulled out of the room, although it did hurt. Jungkook didn't know his own strength most of the time, that much he knew for sure. Or, perhaps he did know and he just made it seem like he didn't. When he released his arm it came as a surprise and he quickly pulled his hand to his chest, eyes confused but thankful while he rubbed where it hurt, "You did..?" He questioned with raised brows, that certainly didn't sound like Jungkook. Ah, nevermind there it was - of course they were leaving without permission.
His eyes landed on the beautiful vehicle in front of the building and he nodded his head once, honestly being on the motorcycle were some of the more freeing moments for Taehyung, some of the moments when he didn't have to think too much. And, his curiosity was well and truly piqued by now, "Yeah. Let's go," This time he stepped forward closer to the Harley first, shooting Jungkook a look that was almost playful as he motioned for the Alpha to get on.

@☼┊wen taehyung ᵒ he fixed his black leather jacket, his hair tied up in a pony tail. he didn’t look away as taehyung changed, his eyes focusing on the omega. as taehyung was finally changed, he grabbed him by his arm and dragged him down. jungkook didn’t know gentleness or softness, but he tried his best. as he noticed that he was causing pain, he stopped and let go of him. ‘ i already asked the academic counselor to let us leave premises.’ he looked rather amusingly at taehyung, before bursting out laughing, for the first time in front of taehyung. ‘ as if. her.’
once they left the main building, his black harley davidson stood proudly in front of the staircase. ‘ let’s go?’

@☼┊wen jungkook ᵃ Taehyung had been spending his small moment of free time honestly just sitting on the window sill and looking outside, completely lost in his own thoughts - his own memories - so lost in fact that Jungkook bursting into his room unannounced like that had him jolting in surprise, falling unceremoniously from the sill.
"You-- what?" He questioned in confusion, although already moving to pull on something a little nicer to wear, since it seemed like they were going outside. He pulled himself into a comfortable sweater before nodding his head as he eyed Jungkook curiously, "Where are we going?" quickly he pulled his shoes on before moving to the Alphas side, "I'm ready."

@☼┊wen taehyung ᵒ jungkook was feeling generous. out of all people, taehyung was a loyal one. he stood by his side, despite all the humiliation he had caused him. jungkook didn’t care what he thought, actions spoke louder.
he barged into taehyung’s room, clad in black military clothes and boots. ‘ dress up. i have something to show.’ he didn’t show it, but he was feeling nice for the first time. he realized for a moment that being kind was something he could do once in a while.
