Two Sides -Taekook (KookV)

13- Last chance

Pov. Jungkook

The amount of texts I've been getting from my friends this past few days isn't normal. One after another they keep asking where have I've been and why did I stop going to race. I'm not gonna lie, I miss it but...I feel like shit everytime I think about it. I tried too hard to be Tae's friend, to fix my mistakes whenever I made one but nothing seems to be enough. And the worst thing is I'm starting to doubt who's the problem here. Maybe my friends are right and he's crazy. I did nothig wrong. Or...did I? My brain is melting just thinking about it. I only get distracted when I hear my door bell ring

- Yeah, who's the...Yugyeom?

- You ain't staying here another night. Let's go.

- I don't feel like-

- Like what? Like racing? Or like seeing the boy you like and getting things cleared up?

- You sound like he's my boyfriend and he's not even my friend

- Give it time. Anyway, I'm not letting you stay here all depressed and distant. At least try to have some fun. You don't have to talk to him if you don't want to!

I can't say no when he sounds so calm. He's right. I should move on from whatever the hell happened and go have fun! At least that's what I tell myself on the way there because as soon as we arrive, it all changes. My eyes can't stop following Tae around. My group of friends keeps trying to distract me but it's impossible.

- He's still upset...

- What? Kook, seriously? He's the same as always. Same serial killer face, same shitty mood. Nothing changed. He was a psycopath before you talked to him and he's a psycopath now

- Are you guys blind? Taehyung has more than one expression! Something's bothering him for real!

- Meh, I see no difference to how he was the times he came with us

Am I insane or something? How is it that no one seems to understand him? Isn't it obvious he's not feeling the same way he did before? With my thoughts unable to stop, our eyes connect. He immediatly looks away and there's a slight change in his expression. I'm the one that's making him feel this way, I know it. I take my decision and go talk to him once more. At least one last time. Jimin seems to be in a great mood so he's too distracted to come and kill me. Oh, yeah I forgot to mention that. He sent me a text saying if I ever hurt Tae again he would stab me to death. Thankfully, he's going somewhere with another biker so I have the chance to have a conversation with Tae.

- Hey Tae...You busy?

- I am for you.

- Right....Listen, I've been thinking

- That's new

- I'm sorry. I'm sorry for hurting you even if I don't know what I did. I wish I knew. I really do. But every time I think of a reason it seems illogical or impossible or...scary

- Scary? L-Like what?

He seems to be afraid of what I might say. It's like he's expecting for me to hurt him even more. I don't even know if that's possible.

- Well, for a moment I thought...Maybe you didn't want to be with me that night. Just so you know I wasn't taking advantage of you or anything! We could've been just friends! With no benefits of any kind! I know I flirt a lot but...If you felt pressured then...God, I would hate myself if that was the reason. And you have no idea how many other options ran through my head but none of them where convincing enough

- That's where your mind went... unbelievable

- Well, I can't find another reason!

- Of course not. Listen, before I kill you would you mind looking for Jimin? His race is about to start and I need him here. Don't worry, I'll keep arguing with you right after

Despite his bitter tone, he seems to be a little more open to dialogue than last time. I would like to think that's because he missed me these days. But that's probably wrong, isn't it? Well, at least he didn't insult me yet! Though that might be a red flag. He loves insulting his friends. Since I rather follow his instructions for now, I go look for Jimin. Not gonna lie, I'm a little scared about it. When I find him I can see something's wrong. His eyes are filled with tears and he asks me to take him away from here. It's obvious he's always been very emotional. I've seen him cry more times than I can count thanks to that "Min Yoongi".

We get on my bike and I drive him back to his place. Only once we get there I take out my phone to realize I have over twenty missed calls from Tae. Only half of the ones Jimin had. I immediately call his number and hope that when he gets here he doesn't kick me out. Because if he does I might start to give up on this...

Hi~ A little late 'cause I got distracted but here it is 💖 Jungkook jumping to random conclusions as always.

Tomorrow I'll bring Tae's reaction to all this. See you~
