Oath of Desires

Chapter Six

"Love is an obsession; it has that quality to it.

There are healthy obsessions, [but] mine is [not] one of them."-Pamela Stephenson

"I kissed [Name]," Jungkook interjected, as Taehyung leaned on the couch with his upper body hunched forward. Since the effects of the sleeping pills still lingered, Taehyung's body was limpy; and although he was conscious for the most part, a part of his conscious was still in its slumber.

After Jungkook's bold exclamation, silence surrounded them — an uncomfortable silence that was full of unpredictable catastrophic possibilities. Jungkook was merely standing there, blinking owlishly with his large eyes, and his arms hung loosely by his sides, waiting for a response from Taehyung. And due to his groggy state of mind, Taehyung merely stood as he was, not being able to digest Jungkook's words for a brief moment.

"You what?" He asked, and as if he could sense the dread of impending doom one felt before there would be anger, he felt his heart drop to his stomach.

Meanwhile for Jungkook, it was like thinking of those words, and saying them out loud again was a sort of revelation he had been waiting to hear his entire life; the pupil of his irises widened slightly as he started intently at Taehyung, and repeated himself.

"I kissed [Name]."

Just with hearing those three words once again, whatever blissful reality Taehyung had been living in, in which he got away with only caring about his own selfish desires ruled by his insecurities, was shattered. The bliss was now starting to vanish in thin air, leaving nothing, but the suffocating dust of ashes behind.

Suddenly, fury seeped into Taehyung, and red clouded his vision. He disregarded his current weak state, and lunged towards Jungkook. Out of everything, Jungkook had not expected Taehyung to become physical with him. As a result, he simply took whatever hurt Taehyung inflicted on him.

Taehyung shoved Jungkook angrily, as he began his rant.

"You fucking piece of trash, you— you kissed [Name]?! How dare you?! I fucking— this was your plan all along wasn't it?! You planned to steal her from me since the very beginning, didn't you? That's why you clung so pathetically to her all the time. I knew it, I fucking knew you were after her all this time. Your promises of being my best friend and endless loyalty were nothing but bullshit, weren't they? I should've known you were going to turn out to be a bastard and thirst over my girlfriend with how creepily obsessed you were about her all the time," Taehyung spat, as he clutched the collar of Jungkook's shirt tightly, and shook him. Due to Jungkook's build being bigger, heavier and stronger than his, and his current weak state, Taehyung's attempt of violence did not have much effect on Jungkook. Not to mention, Jungkook's hair was over casting his eyes, and shadowing his expression, so Taehyung was unable to his reaction. For now, Jungkook merely allowed Taehyung to vent.

"Everything was perfect when it was just [Name] and I, before you came and ruined everything. I never doubted, even once, never doubted her love for me before you-- before you came along and took her from me. It was you, it was because of you I became so messed up, your fucking creepy obsession that made me hurt her. You changed her and it was because of you she stopped caring only about me. Why couldn't you have just gone and died somewhere instead of coming in our lives and messing everything up—" Taehyung hissed, however, he abruptly stopped talking when he saw that Jungkook's lips had widened into a wide grin — a manic grin.

The suddenness of it was troubling. Even for Taehyung, who had been too invested in his emotions of heartbreak and anger, was forced to snap out of his emotional trance, and examine Jungkook with a cautious gaze.

There was an indescribable and minute inkling of fear that formed in his gut, and subconsciously, he gripped Jungkook's shirt tighter.

He glared, and growled.

"Why are you grinning you asshole? Am I a joke to you?" Taehyung snapped, as Jungkook combed his hair away from his eyes smoothly, and Taehyung was finally able to get a glimpse of his face.

Jungkook's eyes were twinkling in joy, as his grin widened, and he cupped Taehyung's cheek tenderly. His unanticipated touch startled Taehyung. With wide eyes, Taehyung's stare flickered to Jungkook's hand on his cheek, and then back to Jungkook, who was looking at him with deranged infatuation etched in his eyes.

"You don't have to be so jealous Tae," Jungkook began using the nickname 'Tae' that Taehyung only ever allowed [Name] to call him. Subconsciously, Jungkook licked his lips in a poor attempt to moisturize them. Then, "I love you too," He confessed sincerely.

A sense of utter disgust immediately went through Taehyung. Right away, he roughly shoved Jungkook off him in order to create some distance between them.

"You fucking sick psycho! What kind of game do you think you're playing—" He voiced, and as he had spoken, he winced at the headache that had been brewing, and suddenly manifested in his head.

Taehyung never received the chance to finish his sentence since Jungkook had interrupted him. There was extreme madness glinting in Jungkook's eyes, which made Taehyung freeze in surprise.

"Both you and [Name] will be mine," Jungkook breathed obsessively, before he raised his arm, clenched his fist, and swung it at Taehyung's head swiftly, and quickly, and knocking him out.
