Chapter 12
≻───── ⋆✩⋆ ─────≺Taehyung was the first to wake up. He was slightly confused to wake up in Kooks arms, but he didn't mind.
He liked it. In a,, friendly way of course...
He quickly realized why and how he was here though, just as quickly regaining his emotions from the previous night.
It all hit him like a semi, all at once and suddenly he felt crushed underneath it all.
He sat for a few moments debating whether or not he even wanted to get up..
He needed to shower, yeah. But..what's the point?
I mean, he no longer really felt the motivation to look good for himself, let alone others. So why should he get up and shower? Why should he even wake up? What's the point?
Before he had the chance to go to sleep again though, the boy next to him woke up. He gave a small smile and spoke with a raspy, lower than usual voice.
"Hey,..good morning." Said Jungkook.
"...morning." Tae replied with a small voice.
"Are you ok? Do you want anything?" Jungkook asked with a gentle, caring voice. He seemed almost afraid that if he spoke too normally or too loudly that he could break the boy in his arms somehow.
"No. Thanks Kook, but I'm ok for now.." Tae replied with an obviously faked smile, his best attempt at reassuring the other.
"Ok.. well, how about this. How about, we watch some movies together? Then maybe if that brings your mood up, then we can go up to the roof and paint?" The younger of the two asked with enthusiasm, hoping it would rub off on the other.
"Yeah..ok" Taehyung answered in a monotone voice as he looked at the clock.
"Its only 12 in the afternoon so..we should have plenty of time!" Jungkook said after he saw Tae eyeing the clock.
Though, throughout the whole movie, Tae felt miserable. Scratch that, he didn't really feel anything.
He felt numb.
Empty.
His whole life felt pointless. His soulmate denying him felt like life's way of pointing out what a fool Taehyung had been.
He had spent all his time and effort trying to make himself good for his soulmate.
Trying to find his soulmate.
He didn't even date anyone except Bogum. And hell, he fully thought Park Bogum was his soulmate and the marking hadn't worked yet.
Stupid. He was so stupid.
Now he's just sitting here with Jungkook, no thoughts in his head, just emptiness.
The other had him in his arms, yet he still felt alone. He heard the voices on the screen, yet he couldn't make out a word they were saying. It was all blurry.
Both literally and metaphorically. He hadn't noticed until the younger of the two was softly wiping the streams of tears off.
Tae put a hand to his face to feel for himself and rub off any tears, but he just ended up holding his head in his hands.
He couldn't really pin point the timing he had started crying, let alone sobbing, but he assumed it was fairly recent being that Jungkook hadn't noticed till now.
He didn't stop for a while, despite not knowing fully as to what he was crying over. So he just sat and sobbed.
He could feel the others arms gently wrapped around him, petting his head and shushing him in a whisper voice.
The sound of crying was heard all throughout the house, but no one dared to come into the room. The Walls thin enough for the sound to travel out even to the living room where Namjoon and Yoongi had been talking.
They knew Jungkook was already doing his best to help, which indeed was the best any of them could do.
It still hurt them to hear though, knowing how much pain their friend was in and knowing they couldn't do anything really to truly help.
Meanwhile, Jungkook felt like his heart shattered every time he looked at Taehyung. He hated seeing how much pain the other was in, he hated seeing him cry so hard, he hated seeing him so sad.
He knew it wouldn't end any time soon either.. he knew how much effort the older had put in for his soulmate all his life.
Eventually though, the boy in his arms stopped shaking from how hard he was sobbing, and fell asleep again.
That's good though, he needs rest. Who knows how much energy he was using when crying so hard, so long.
Still though, despite seeing how long it would probably take for the other to want to be with anyone, the idea of now maybe Taehyung would notice how much Jungkook liked him was terrifying and amazing at the same time.
On one end, the older could look at it and be disgusted because they're friends and he doesn't like him back. But on the other hand, maybe Taehyung wouldn't be so disgusted with him ? Maybe he would accept him as a friend still ? Then Jungkook could stop putting on a mask.
He knew it wasn't the greatest time to be thinking about such a thing, it made him feel guilty almost for one of his thoughts during this being dating the other, but he couldn't help it.
But it doesn't matter anyways, he's never going to like him back.. that was the last thought Jungkook had before falling asleep as the other had. Into peaceful sleep.
