PLAY ON- Taekook

26

Taehyung ran into my arms, sobbing into my chest. My hand quickly flew up to stroke his hair, my other arm wrapping around his back.

"It's okay, let it all out," I whispered, my hand moving from his hair to rub his back gently. He brought his arms around my neck. His tears continued to fall as he whimpered and sniffled. My heart broke at the sound, I tried to comfort him as best as I could.

We stood like that for a while, my shirt wet with tears as Taehyung wept continuously onto my shoulder while my hand moved up and down his back as I whispered comforting words into his ear. His fists grabbed onto my shirt, his teary eyes finally looking up at me.

He sighed before pulling me in by my collar, crashing his lips on to mine. It took me a second to respond, moving my lips against Taehyung's, which were wet with tears in a sloppy kiss. His hands shifted up to grip my hair as mine trailed over his body. It was intense, our longing for each other took over as all other thoughts disappeared. The fact that we were in someone else's room didn't seem to matter anymore. I pulled away for air, murmuring a quick "Fuck I missed you so much" against his lips before bringing him back in. All our feelings were poured into that kiss, evident and clear. All the heartbreak, the anger, the yearning, the hunger, the betrayal, the sorrow. We felt it all.

I was foolish to think everything was back to normal now, immediately stopping in my tracks as I felt new tears fall, staining both our faces. Pulling away, Taehyung buried his head into my chest, newfound tears staining my shirt once more. His fists weakly thumped against my torso as he mumbled "Fuck you Jungkook, I hate you so damn much."

"W-What?" I stepped back, looking at him straight in the eyes. His lips quivered as he wiped the tears off his face.

"I trusted you. I trusted you and you still leaked that video." Taehyung sniffled.

"Tae no I didn't-"

"Stop lying. Please stop." His head fell forward as his hand covered his mouth, trying to contain his cries. "Was trusting you something I needed to be punished for? I liked you so fucking much Jeon.."

"Taehyung I promise-" My hand fumbled through my pockets, searching for my phone. I got the screenshots I took of the group chat and handed him the phone. He hesitantly took it from my hand.

"What's this about?" He asked, his chest still heaving.

"Just read it." I sighed. And he did, I watched as his face switched from anger to hurt to pain to anger again. Taehyung didn't say anything, just read more and more. He sighed, putting the phone down. I waited anxiously for his reaction, panicking slightly as the boy stayed silent for a while.

"It wasn't you." He gazed up at me, regret laced on his face. I shook my head.

"It wasn't." Taehyung gulped, eyes glossing over for the third time in the past hour.

"Jungkook I'm so sorry" He apologized profusely "You must hate me now."

"I don't hate you Tae" I smiled, pulling him in for a hug and placing a quick peck to the temple of his head. "I understand that you have issues trusting people, after what happened with your dad and brother.." I ran a hand through his hair, still holding him. "And your trust is something I'm willing to work for and earn."

Taehyung smiled into the crook of my neck, holding onto me tighter. I pulled away reluctantly, knowing we had to get going, a huge grin on my face. He was back. I got him back.

"Come on, let's get to our room before Jaehyun or Sehun come back" I picked up my jacket from the ground, noticing Taehyung was still in a robe.

"Yeah let me just put my clothes back on." He turned around, but I grabbed his wrist and pulled him back.
