Ep.19: forgetting

Jungkook was now in fifth grade while Taehyung was in second grade. Their friendship still continued to blossom and grow as the days went by.

The same activities proceeded to happen throughout the days, except Taehyung was open to incorporate some of Jungkook's hobbies during their hangouts now. 

Jungkook showed Taehyung his book collection, his batman comics, and his piano skills. But of course, to a six year old, playing the piano deemed to be more interesting to the younger than reading books or listen to Jungkook aimlessly rant about The Joker.

They made it their personal mission to finish making their own song by the end of the year. So they got to work immediately and spent some of their days doing the things Taehyung liked and whatever time they had left was used to write the song.

One night though, Jungkook came to Taehyung's house in the middle of the night. Hoodie tucked down over his face and sneakily walking through the backyard. He climbed up a tree that led to Taehyung's window, and slid the unlocked window open.

He knew he shouldn't have sneaked out, especially not after from what happened today, but he needed to see the younger. He needed care, love and attention.

He climbed in through the window and walked on the floor quietly. He tapped the peacefully sleeping younger gently. "Taehyung wake up. I have to tell you something." Jungkook said as he shook the younger a little rougher. Taehyung was a heavy sleeper.

Taehyung began to stir awake and widened his eyes when he saw a hooded figure. He was about to scream until Jungkook quickly covered his mouth with his hands.

"Don't scream, don't scream. It's just me, Jungkook. Please don't scream, Taehyung." Jungkook pleaded. He waited for Taehyung to stop squirming so he could remove his hand from the younger's mouth. Once he realized Taehyung had stopped, he removed his hands from his mouth.

"Jungkook, what are you doing here? It's so late at night and-" Taehyung was ranting until Jungkook pulled off his hood and the sight made Taehyung gasp. Jungkook's face revealed a harsh, fiery red, slap mark across his cheek. His red, tired, eyes showed pain and despair.

"Oh my goodness. What happened Jungkook? Who did this to you?" Taehyung asked, his voice was laced with concern. "My dad did it. He saw my test grades today. I got a B+ and he wasn't too happy about it. He put away the piano in the basement. I can't hang out with you until the end of this month." Jungkook cried as he knelt down besides Taehyung's bed and muffled his cries against Taehyung's duvet.

"Don't cry Jungkook, don't cry. Don't worry about me, we can hang out at school during lunch and you can sneak in again. I just want to know if you're okay, you only matter right now." Taehyung told him as he took Jungkook's face into his two little hands. He rubbed Jungkook's mark gently and watched and felt Jungkook lean into the touch.

"Can I sleep here? With you tonight? I promise I'll leave early so our parents don't get suspicious of us." Jungkook asked with a begging tone. "Sure! We can have a sleepover, we can give each other nicknames, we can give each other warmth with cuddles." Taehyung beamed excitedly.

Jungkook smiled and nodded shyly at the younger's ideas. Taehyung patted the empty spot in his bed and gestured a welcoming wave over to him. Jungkook got the idea and decided to go into the bed with Taehyung. Jungkook snuggled into Taehyung's warm blanket and the younger's body.

Taehyung turned to face him and took Jungkook's arm gently and placed it nicely on his hip. This action made Jungkook nuzzle into Taehyung's warmth even more, indulging himself in the scent of the younger's hair. It was lavender and vanilla scented and it was calming.
