"Sure, mom!" Taehyung replied through the phone smilingly before he hang up the call.

He whirled around, "Jeongguk, my mom wants to meet–" he paused when he noticed the younger wasn't there.

"This bunny!" He let out in frustration, shaking his head. He also walked out from his home-office cabin to search for the younger.

Meanwhile, Jeongguk enter into their (not yet) bedroom. Sighing, he walk towards the bed and chunked his body on the king-sized bed, hugging soft duvet closer to his chest. He rolled on the bed excitingly.

"He can't find me here." Jeongguk giggles, rolling on the bed but paused when his eyes fall on the nightstand.

Curious bunny mode: ON

He immediately tossed off the duvet around him, and crawled towards the nightstand. He climbed off from the bed and sits on floor infront of the nightstand.

"Should I?" He asked himself, his fingers were toying with the knob of drawer.

--------

"Jeongguk?" Taehyung enter into his bedroom, after searching for the younger in other rooms of house.

"Hands up, Mr.Kim!"

The tiny voice caused him to look towards the window as he close the door behind him. He saw Jeongguk was sitting on windowsill.

Jeongguk cutely tilts his head when Taehyung didn't respond to him.

"I said hands up, and surrender." He exclaimed, pointing out the revolver towards Taehyung, who was still on his place.

"Put down the gun, Jeongguk!" Taehyung warned, his eyes were glued on the younger who rolled his eyes playfully.

"Why? Are you scared?"

"Never."

Jeongguk narrowed his eyes at the older. "What if I say I'm a secret agent and hired by the police department to spy on you?" He asked, directly looking into those piercing brown eyes.

"What would you do?" He added, and he stood up from the windowsill.

"Then I'll spank you."

Jeongguk almost scoff at the reply.

"Stay right there, don't you dare to move!" Jeongguk warned when Taehyung start walking towards him until he reached infront of him.

"I will shoot–"

"Do it." Taehyung challenged, glaring down at his baby.

Jeongguk panicked internally when he saw how the head of the gun was pressing against Taehyung's chest.

"T-Taehyung." Jeongguk stutters as he gulped when Taehyung shifted close to him, and the head of gun was pressing onto his chest.

"I seriously will shoot you if you come a bit more closer!" Jeongguk whined, with a sad pout.

"Do it, I ain't stopping you."

"It would be great if I die from your gunshot." Taehyung added, as he put his hand on the gun.

"Ewww! You're so cringy." Jeongguk let out, shaking his head in disbelief, and again sits on the windowsill again.

Taehyung laughed at the younger's reaction.

"I already have gunshot marks–"

"You have what?" Jeongguk interrupted when he heard that, his doe eyes widened as he looked towards Taehyung.

"I've been working in Mafia for years, it's obvious for me to have them." Taehyung chuckled, sitting next to the younger on the windowsill.

Jeongguk gulped down, and blinked his eyes. He quickly crawled towards Taehyung and placed his hands on Taehyung's shoulder.

"Does it hurt?" Jeongguk asked, softly, his doe eyes were cutely looking into those brown eyes.

Taehyung chuckled, shaking his head. "Those wounds are nothing." He placed his hands on Jeongguk's hips and pulled him on lap.

"C-can I see it?" Jeongguk stammered, and settles down Taehyung's lap.

Taehyung smiled, and nodded. He lift up a sleeve of his t-shirt while another hand was holding Jeongguk.

Jeongguk bite his lower lip, his eyes became glossy while looking at the wound, his fingers lightly caress the scar. The scar wasn't deep, it was a healing scar and it seems to be a old one.

But, still it is a mark, which cannot fades away completely.

Jeongguk looked away, his grip on Taehyung's shoulder tighten.

"My love." Taehyung called, softly when he observed Jeongguk's tensed body.

Jeongguk immediately hug him, burying his face onto Taehyung's neck.

"Tae, whatever you're doing is illegal and wrong. Can you stop doing these activities?"

"Can you leave the gangs or Mafia life please? For us." Jeongguk added, hugging Taehyung tightly.

"No, I can't." Taehyung breathe out, wrapping arms around Jeongguk who was hugging him like his life depends on it.

"If we enter into this world, there's no going back." Taehyung explained shortly, caressing the back of Jeongguk's head to comfort him.

"I hate violence, Tae. And what if something happens to you? I don't want to lose you." Jeongguk's heart squeezed at his negative thoughts.

"I will be alright, nothing will harm me, don't worry!" Taehyung comforted him, silently smiling at the younger as the male really care for him.

"Don't worry Baby, you're over thinking now. No one can harm me." Taehyung caressed Jeongguk's back to calm down him.

Jeongguk snuggle against Taehyung shoulder, his eyes were closed. The soothing smell of Taehyung makes him comfortable.

The feeling of losing Taehyung from his life makes his heart aches. He cannot afford to lose him. He wants to stay with him and be with him, forever. Or at least until his last breath.

"Do you want ice cream or banana milk to calm down?" Taehyung asked, kissing the head of Jeongguk.

Jeongguk shook his head. "No, I want only you."

Taehyung grinned broadly, kissing the clothed shoulder of Jeongguk.

"Baby." Taehyung called, breaking the comfortable silence between them.

Jeongguk responded by rubbing his nose onto Taehyung's neck.

"My mom wants to meet you."

Jeongguk immediately leaned back, with a pout. He looked into Taehyung's eyes, his shoulders dropped and brows furrowed.

"Will she like me? Or what if she hates me? I even got drunk infront of your father. I already embarrassed myself, now she definitely will hate me–" Jeongguk ranted as he remember the day when he met Taehyung's dad and their conversation.

"Shush, baby you're panicking unnecessarily. She will love you. I've told her about you, and she already like you. So, no worries."

Taehyung brushed the falling bangs from Jeongguk's face. The male start biting his nails nervously while thinking hard about the upcoming meeting with Taehyung's mother.

Taehyung shakes his head and removed Jeongguk's hand from mouth, so he couldn't bite on nails.

"Bad habits, baby." Taehyung scolded, again embracing the tiny boy into his arms.

Jeongguk looked at Taehyung, and leaned to press their lips together.

"Tae." Jeongguk whispers against Taehyung's lips, drawing his fingers through Taehyung's black hair.

"Hm?" Taehyung hummed softly as his slender fingers were massaging the tiny waist of Jeongguk.

"I love you."

++++++

"Where were you last night, young man?"

Jeongguk got startled by the voice while he was taking off his shoes.

"Um- Nanna it's just-" Jeongguk stutters as he was trying hard to make an excuse. He slowly took off his shoes and walk towards the living room.

"Did you get hurt somewhere?" His Nanna asked which caused him to turn towards her.

"No, why?" Jeongguk replied, collapsing on the sofa of living room while sighing heavily.

"You're limping." His Nanna pointed out, walking towards Jeongguk to stand infront of him.

Jeongguk's face went pale, he start panicking internally.

"Um- I- Nanna, I'm hungry!" He immediately made an excuse to avoid the topic.

His Nanna suspicious scanned his state as she knew that Jeongguk was hiding something from her. She crossed the arms over her chest while gazing at the male.

"Tell me first, where were you last night?" She asked, crooking her brow at the younger who was sending sheepish grins to her.

Jeongguk pouted deeply, fidgeting while glancing up at his Nanna.

"Nanna, ggukie is hungry!"

"Those old tricks won't work on me. You don't know how much I was worried about you when you didn't come home last night." Nanna snapped at him, shaking her head.

"I phoned Jin and Jimin to know if you're with them or not, as your phone was switch off. But they also didn't know about you, so tell me where were you?" His Nanna ranted, as she was angry at the younger.

"I even heard that you suddenly disappeared from the company's anniversary party." She added, earning a whine from the younger, who stood up from the sofa and hugged his Nanna.

"I'm fine Nanna as you can see now. You were worrying for nothing-"

"Jeongguk, I only have you in my life. We already lost so many person from our life and I don't want to lose you at any cost." His Nanna interrupted, her expression sadden while hugging back the small boy.

"Nanna..." Jeongguk whispered against his Nanna's neck, while regretting that he didn't inform his Nanna before as he was with Taehyung.

"I was with Taehyung." Jeongguk responded, poutingly.

His Nanna immediately broke the hug and looked at Jeongguk. A smirk formed on his Nanna's face.

"What?" He asked, in confusion as he noticed the annoying smirk on his Nanna's face.

"Did you?" Nanna asked, wiggling her brows at Jeongguk.

"What?"

"Why are you limping?"

"Um- i-i fell from stairs." Jeongguk replied while stuttering under his Nanna's gaze.

"But why were you with him?"

"H-he wants to take care of me."

Nanna nodded, and narrowed his eyes at Jeongguk suspiciously.

"You're really bad at lying." Nanna sighed heavily and turned away from Jeongguk, to walk towards her bedroom.

"What does she mean?" Jeongguk asked himself, before placing his hand on hips, scrunching his nose in pain as he was still sore.
