3rd POV:
Jungkook's eyes adjusted to the bright florescent lights. A consistent beeping is heard from the machine connected to him by needles. He tried to sit up but the pounded sensation in his head knocked him back down. His groan was muffled by the paper-like pillow case crumble.
Cocaine induces a sense of euphoria. It brings you to the highest of high. You keep climbing the ladder till it feels you've finally reach the golden gates of heaven. Then you fall. And you fall hard. All those intense glowing feelings of bliss and rhapsody deplete. Quickly replacing that euphoria with misery. Depression sits you down, straps your wrists, and flips the electric chair switch. Frying every ounce of radiance out your smile.
"Mr. Jeon? Someone would like to see you." The nurse said opening the door to reveal a timid Taehyung.
Jungkook closed his eyes and sighed. He felt embarrassed. He made a fool of himself in front of the only person he cares about. Taehyung probably hates him now.
"Hi." Taehyung said standing at the foot of the hospital bed.
"Hi Taehyung."
Taehyung played with his hands and bit him bottom lip. "What exactly happened to you?" He asked. "The truth."
"I'm sorry you had to see that. I'm sorry you had to see ME like that."
"Answer my question Jungkook."
Jungkook was taken back by Taehyung's cold tone. All the sweetness turned sour.
"Taehyung please just know that I'm sorry. I was not in my right mind-"
"Why are you avoiding my goddamn question?" Taehyung said raising his voice slightly looking at the tiles.
"Well..."
"Y-You were acting crazy. Then you fucking pushed yourself onto me. After everything I told you. All the nightmares. After he-he put his hands on me. You were the last person I expected to do that to me." Taehyung said as tears trickled down his chin.
"I never meant to hurt you. Like I said I was not in the right headspace."
"It wasn't because your stupid headspace. What was really going on? Huh? Fucking tell me Jungkook!" Taehyung yelled looking up at him.
Jungkook stayed silent.
"Why did you do this to yourself? Why? Why? Why? Why? Why can't you just tell me the truth!" Taehyung balled his fists. "I told you everything! And When you told me your story I listened! I comforted you! So why aren't you telling me anything now!"
"I'm scared." Jungkook said plainly.
"Your scared? I was scared! You fucking passed out on my floor for christ sake! I thought you were going to die!"
"I'm scared you'll hate me for it. Everyone always-"
"Save your 'everyone hates me, i hate me' shit for someone else! I can't take that bullshit! I don't hate you. You know I could never hate you. Jungkook you make me feel...these...feelings. Feelings I've never felt with anyone else. It's eating me alive knowing you can't share the fact that you're in the hospital, because you overdosed on cocaine!" Taehyung cried walking to the side of the bed.
Jungkook was crying which made his already pounding headache even worse. He hated being the reason behind Taehyung's tears.
"Why couldn't you just tell me!" Taehyung yelled weakly. "You hurt me."
Jungkook pulled Taehyung by the arm onto the bed, and hugged him tightly. "I never wanted to harm you."
"Then why did you do it?"
"I guess I just wanted to hurt myself, but in the end I ended up hurting you too. I'm so sorry." Jungkook kissed the top of Taehyung's head and rubbed his back.
"They are going to call your mom. You know that right?" Taehyung said.
"Yeah..."
"Are you going to be okay?"
"I don't know." Jungkook said.
"You're going to have to go to meetings. Like AAA." Taehyung said.
"Yeah..."
"Are you ready to get better?"
"I don't know." Jungkook repeated.
"Please get better. Not for me but for you." Taehyung said.
"I'll try." Jungkook said.
Taehyung kissed Jungkook's cheek.
"Can I ask you something? Promise you won't get mad?" Jungkook asked.
"Promise." Taehyung replied.
"When are you going to break up with Lorenzo?"
Taehyung's eyes widen and his throat went dry.
"Why?"
"Because...I think I like you." Jungkook said.
Taehyung couldn't hold back the beaming smile on his lips. He brought his eyes up to meet Jungkook's. "You really mean it?" He asked.
"Yeah. What do you think? Are you mad?"
"No...I'm furious."
"Huh?" Jungkook asked confused.
"I'm furious you didn't have the guts to tell me sooner." Taehyung said. Jungkook exhaled in relief. "And...I think I like you too."
Jungkook smiled. "For real? Straight up?" He asked putting his arms around Taehyung's waist.
"Straight up." Taehyung said before kissing Jungkook happily.
This wasn't the ideal setting to be confessing your feeling to each other in, but it's them.
The door opened quietly. Jungkook and Taehyung were too caught up in a kiss till a, "Jungkook?", was heard.
They stopped kissing and Jungkook swallowed harshly. "Mom."
