The vase falls on the ground and breaks into pieces. Jungkook watches it happen, his eyes widen when he hears the china crack, it sounds very much like his own heartbreaking.
Both of them stare at it, shocked until Jungkook gets on his knees, the fall making a thump on the floor. A small piece of porcelain pierces into his knees but he doesn't care about it, "No no no no, fuck-- No!" He half yells and half cries.
He quickly scoots to pick up the pieces, but it's useless- the vase is broken, Jungkook broke it and he cannot fix it.
Taehyung rubs his shoulder from behind, "It's okay Jungkook, I can get you a new one," he says.
Jungkook still tries to pick up the pieces, but just looking at the broken pastel green pieces makes him more and more dejected "I don't want a new one," he says, pulling at his hair with so much force that Taehyung thinks that he will pull off his hair.
"Hey hey, what're you doing? Don't pull your hair." Taehyung gently grabs his hands so that he lets go of his hair.
Jungkook stares at the broken vase lying on the floor, his eyes looking sad and dejected, "I broke it."
"It's okay, it was just a mistake," Taehyung tries to console him.
Jungkook thinks that he and Taehyung are very similar to this vase, and honestly, he is so tired of losing people/things that he values the most, a few minutes ago this vase was his most prized possession and now It's Just dirt, a few minutes ago Taehyung use to trust him, now they're just two people.
"No! Don't you see it hyung!? You and me, we're broken just like this vase and we can't be fixed."
Taehyung looks at him dumbfounded, thinking about what connection Jungkook is making-- "Bullshit! You and me-" He points between both of them "-we're much more than just a fucking china vase." Taehyung looks at him desperately, because this is getting out of hand, he has never seen Jungkook like this, like he is giving up.
Jungkook shakes his head, spiraling into his mind, "No no Hyung, you don't trust me, you never will and I always fuck up! It's just-- no I can't do this-"
It pains Taehyung to see Jungkook breaking down like this, since when did loving someone get this hard? Something inside Taehyung snaps.
"Jungkook shut up! You're giving up on us just because of a misunderstanding?" He says loudly in Jungkook's face, he grabs him by his shoulder to make Jungkook look at him.
"It was more than that-"
"No fuck you! I won't let you give up on us because this is what you always do, you accused me of running away from the club but what did you do!? You ran away four years ago to America, four fucking years Jungkook! I was waiting for you and you were running away right now so shut the fuck up and listen to me-" Taehyung takes a deep breath to calm himself down, yelling will not solve this, he reminds himself. He takes a peek at Jungkook to find the younger's eyes filled with shiny tears. The sight itself churns Taehyung's chest
He composes himself and holds Jungkook's hands, "Yes I and Minho used to date in college and I didn't tell you about him because you'd get worked up over nothing, Minho doesn't mean anything to me anymore, that's it." Jungkook looks at him but doesn't say anything, Taehyung takes it as a clue to explain more.
"And what happened today? I saw you leaving with a girl and yes I have trust issues- I mean I have all the reasons to have them, but that doesn't mean I don't trust you. I'm working on it. Anyone in the given situation would have thought the same- believe me, Jungkook, I love you." Taehyung's eyes get glossy when he says the last part, it's scary how just mere three words hold the world for him, his Jungkook.
Jungkook just stares at him, it makes Taehyung anxious as to what is going into Jungkook's head. When he stays quiet for a few more seconds, Taehyung decides to speak again but Jungkook cuts him off, leaping into Taehyung's arm with such force that they both tumbles on the ground but none of them care enough about it.
"I'm sorry, I love you too." Jungkook sobs into Taehyung's arms and Taehyung rubs his back soothingly, a small smile on his face
"Shh shh- it's okay, it's fine. We both made a mistake. okay?" Taehyung pulls a little bit back to look at Jungkook's face and when he sees the younger nod, he pulls Jungkook back into his chest.
Both of them are lying on the cold floor of their living room, the vase is long forgotten. Jungkook hiccups again, "I would- n-never cheat o-on y-"
Taehyung rubs the back of his head, "I know, I know you won't baby."
They lie like that for a while until Jungkook squeaks and pulls his head back, "But my vase?
Taehyung smiles at him fondly "I'll fix it."
Jungkook pouts because that's not really possible but says, "ok" nonetheless.
Few more minutes (hours) of lying in each other's embrace later when Taehyung thinks that they'll get back pain and cold, he cups Jungkook's face and looks into his warm eyes lovingly,
"You and me, we're Jungkook and Taehyung, and no matter what we will always find our way back to each other."
