Jeon Jungkook' AR

Taehyung loved Jungkook very much; they dated for three years. Their relationship was like everyone else's, with its quirks. Taehyung himself was a loyal, kind, and cheerful guy.

He never thought about anything bad when Jungkook was by his side. When the alpha held him in his arms, loved him, caressed him, cherished him, and was ready to lay the world at his feet. Their feelings for each other only grew stronger with each passing year. But, like many relationships, there are difficult periods when they need to part for a while. Many call this a test of life; distance will reveal whether you're ready to wait for each other or not.

The army is hard, both for Jungkook and Taehyung. The news overwhelmed him with emotion; the omega wasn't ready; two years was too long, too long. He was afraid for various reasons: what if they lose interest in each other? What if Jungkook comes back a completely different person? But the alpha was loyal; he loved only Taehyung and tried to show him that every time. He reassured him, telling him everything would be okay; he just needed to get through it and wait.

- Just wait for me, Taehyung. Promise me you'll wait.

And Taehyung promised, he promised that he would wait for him, that he would remain true to their feelings, to their relationship.

And so, when Jungkook went off to the army, Taehyung's mind was racing with thoughts about how long it would take, how difficult it would all be, and how maybe he just wasn't ready. But he'd promised, he'd given Jungkook hope.

(I'll propose to him when I get back.)

Jungkook said to himself in his thoughts as he boarded the express train, and he kept this thought for the entire two years of his service.

But Taehyung didn't wait. He couldn't, he simply didn't have the strength, he cheated on him, and not just once. Drowning in someone else's warm arms and embrace, in their rented apartment, in their shared bed. Which no longer held Jungkook's scent.

And as the time approached his discharge, Taehyung became frightened, realizing he'd made a mistake, realizing he'd failed to live up to his promise. He'd ruined everything. Even when he met his beloved from the train, he couldn't admit it. He was too ashamed to admit his mistake and his shame.

Waiting for him to return from the army isn't easy, but Taehyung promised, he promised him that he would wait.
