I'm Not Crazy || Taekook

Guess Who's Back?

Things have been quite tense between all of us since our argument about what to do when Taehyung returns. We didn't even finish it. We only started to discuss about what I wanted to do before all hell broke lose. The fighting lasted for about an hour. Hoseok and I didn't stop it, if we did, we might've lost an eye. We just let the arguments come to a natural end. Namjoon and Yoongi were now hanging out playing cards and smoking alone in our dorm while Jin, Jimin, Hoseok and I were hanging out in the other. The was often how things were normally but we'd usually spend at least a little bit of time together, but that wasn't the case right now. No one was even friendly. It was like rival football teams, whenever we passed each other, we wouldn't say anything, just glare and roll our eyes,

"Hey guys, I just wanna say that I'm sorry that you two are on thin ice with your boyfriends, I feel like it's my fault" I apologized to Jin and Jimin as we sat on the couch, watching cartoons with our feet on the coffee table and eating popcorn,

"Oh pshhh, don't apologize, it's not your fault.. they're the one's in the wrong" Jin said, his eyes fixated on the TV,

"Things will be fine, this isn't the first time something like this has happened and we fought" Jimin said, stuffing his face with popcorn,

I nodded slowly, "Ok... I just don't want your relationships to suffer just because mine is going through sh*t,"

"Don't blame yourself. Not a single thing that's happened in the last week has been your fault" Jin said, giving me a reassuring smile,

Hoseok strolled in through the door, smiling happily. I turned my head and looked at him from the couch,

"Hey, how was your date with Harmony?" I sing-songed,

"It was really nice, pretty low-key, but it's nice to spend time with her" Hoseok said while walking to the fridge, getting the leftovers from his lunch and microwaving it,

"You've been going out with her a while now... Are things getting serious?" I asked politely,

Jimin gasped, "Are you gonna abandon us now that you have girlfriend? How dare you not hang out with us anymore"

"Relax, I will not abandon you guys just because I'm in a relationship, you guys didn't abandon me so I'm not gonna abandon you. Besides, it hasn't been that long and we're taking things slow. We like how things are going and we don't wanna ruin that" Hoseok explained, eating his pasta at the table.

We usually all watch TV together, but the last time that someone ate pasta on the couch, they dropped it on the couch, staining it and Jin lost his mind. I'm not gonna name who (Namjoon, God of Destruction) but now we get stern warning when trying to eat anything saucy on the couch. Anyways,

"Hey, have you heard that Henry's back?" Hoseok said, after swallowing.

At the same time, Jin, Jimin and I all turned our heads, "Really?" We all said collectively,

Hoseok nodded, "He's in the cafeteria. Based on what I overheard he has a concussion and has a broken cheek bone which I didn't even know was possible to have... Anyway, he looks unrecognizable. His face is all swollen, purple and covered in bandages and if it's possible, I think he's skinnier"

"Oh God, I feel so bad for him" I said, looking at my lap, fiddling with my fingers, "I'm gonna go talk to him and apologize to him" I said standing up and heading to the door.

I walked out of the dorm room and walked down the hall, going to Henry's room. I knocked on the door and his roommate answered,

"What do you want? I'll call security so fas-" He started,

"Dude, relax, I don't want to hit him... I just want to talk to him" I said calmly

He furrowed his brows and scanned me top to bottom, "Alright, but I'm watching you"

I nodded and walked in. There room was pretty much identical to mine, just better lighting and didn't smell like smoke. The walls were also a nice shade of light blue where as our walls were gray. Henry was sitting at the table. It seemed that they were playing Connect 4 before I came because the game was on the table and a piece was in his hand. He looked just as bad as Hoseok described. Our faces looked similar in terms of bruising but mine wasn't as swollen. His face was so swollen that I couldn't see his right eye. He looked like a mummy that people started wrapping but then forgot because most of the right side of his face was covered in white gauze. I slowly walked over to him, his roommate watching inventively from the corner of the room,

"Uh, hi Henry" I said waving, a small smile of my face,

He turned to look at me and his eyes widened, "Oh, h-hi Jungkook" He stuttered nervously,

"Don't worry, I'm not going to hurt you" I said, "I came to apologize... may I sit?"

He nodded and pointed to a free chair which I sat on, "Apologize? You don't have to apologize, you didn't do anything" He said,

"I'm apologizing on behalf of Taehyung. He's a bit stubborn and most likely won't apologize, and technically, I'm involved in all this, so I wanted to say sorry about what he did to you. It was way over the line. I'm not saying that what you did was ok, in fact I'm still pretty pissed about it, but um, you got way more than what you deserved so..." I rambled,

He nodded, "I'm sorry about the photos, I never meant to hurt you guys. I wasn't thinking. I just thought that by taking those photos, people would finally notice me around here, you know? Be more than a nobody"

I bit the inside of my cheek, "Well, they were nice photos. It doesn't change the fact that that was extremely out of line and you shouldn't have done it, but you didn't do it to intentionally to hurt us so that makes me feel a bit better" I said, "I'm more mad at Taehyung than I am at you at this point honestly. The way he acted was so wrong and it hurts me for so many reasons. I think my mind is so clouded because of that, that I don't really know what to say to you right now,"

"I get it... listen, I'm really truly sorry. I won't do anything like that ever again" Henry apologized,

"How could you?!" I shouted, crying, slamming the table, "Things were going so well between me and Taehyung and you ruined it! H-he hit me twice because of you. He's never hit me, even when he hated me, he never touched me, and now he did. Everything's ruined! Taehyung doesn't act rashly, he's probably gonna break up with me when he comes back. Things were going so well... I was so h-happy" I cried, wiping my eyes, "I thought he cared about me. I thought he wanted things to be private to keep it special, but it's actually because he's embarrassed of me" I sobbed

I had a good cry and Henry's and was surprisingly comforting. He patted my back and gave some nice advice. After 15 minutes, I decided to leave Henry's room because I was close to having another mental breakdown. As I walked down the hallway, back to the dorm, I looked down while wiping my eyes so no one could see my bruised face and my tear stained face. I had accidently passed the dorm door because I was looking at the floor instead of the dorm numbers. I noticed this once I bumped into someone going the other direction as me. He was a tall, buff man wearing all black and he clearly wasn't paying attention because we both walked right into each other. I hit his chest fell back a bit,

"I'm so sorry I was looking at where I was goi-" I started to apologize before freezing. My eyes widened and my mouthed opened a bit, " T-taehyung,"

His hands were in his pockets and he had the most unfazed expression on his face as always. He looked at me and then chuckled a bit, "Your face looks a little worse for wear, what did you do? Fall out of bed again?"

My jaw dropped even wider, "You don't remember how my face got like this?! F*cking asshole" I huffed, shoving passed him, brushing his shoulder and walking fast down the hallway.
