Trust is a Big Word (TaeKook) - EDITED

The Break (Edited)

Jungkook just got off the phone with Ji-Eun and told him what happened at the cafe. Since, he has no idea where Taehyung ran off too, he decided to stay put, hoping that he was on his way here. He placed his face on his hands and started to cry. He had a plan. A plan to tell Tae everything that happened between him and Ji-Eun. He wanted to come clean, tell the truth and earn back his trust. But then, this happens. He's so scared now. Scared that Taehyung would hate him and leave hm. He felt so helpless.

This is all my fault. Oh God, please give me one more chance. Bring him back to me. I can't live without him. I'm so sorry Taehyung. Please come back to me.

Jungkook was crying so hard and he got too exhausted and accidentally fell asleep. An hour after, he woke up and the first thing he did was to call out for Taehyung. But, the house was filled with silence. Tae was still not home. Without any more second to waste, he rushed out of the house, got in his car and drove off to Jimin's house hoping that he would find Taehyung there.

When he got to Jimin's he saw the front door open. He went inside and saw Jimin sitting on the floor of the living room, crying. He was about to rush to him to ask what happend when he saw the photos on the table. He froze. He felt his knees buckle and he fell down.

"I trusted you, Kook." Jimin started to speak. "I entrusted you my best friend. You had my back for a long time and I defended you when everyone else were judging you. How could you do this to Taehyung? How can you lie to all of us?"

"Chim, God knows how sorry I am for that moment of weakness. Yes, I kissed her, Chim. But, those pictures don't even show what happened after. It doesnt show how I told Ji-Eun off and told her how much I love Taehyung and that I can never replace him with her nor anyone else. It doesn't show how I ran out of her room, booked the next flight back to Seoul to be with Taehyung. Those photos were taken to create a picture of a monster. Chim, I was going to tell Taehyung everything tonight. But, I guess after seeing these, I won't ever have a chance of getting him back. Please tell me I'm wrong Chim. Please. I need Taehyung, Chim. I love him so much. I'm so sorry, Chim."Jungkook started wailing after that.

Jimin got up and ran to Jungkook. He hugged him and cried with him until Jungkook passed out. In the bedroom, Yoongi heard everything and cried in pain too.

*************************************************
(Taehyung's POV)

I went to Big Hit to grab some clothes. Since we would have all-nighters at the office, Jungkook and I made sure that we have extra clothes here. I took my passport, my office phone and some cash from the safe. I was so relieved that everything that I needed were here since I didn't want to go home and risk seeing Jungkook.

I called for an Uber to drive me to the airport. I had to get away from everything and everyone.

*************************************************
Taehyung's plane just landed in Narita International Airport. He contacted his college friend who now lives in Tokyo, asking if he could stay with her for a while. Of course, she said yes, especially when she's Jungkook's younger sister, Jeon Yeri.

When he came out of the arrival area, he immediately sees Yeri, not missing her purple hair amidst the crowd of black haired people at the airport.

"Taehyungie!!!"

"Ohayou, Jeon san!" Taehyung runs to his "sister-in-law" and gives her a tight hug. "I missed you, kiddo."

"Hey, I'm not a kid anymore," Yeri pouts.

"I know, I know. I just like teasing you so much!" Taehyung giggles.

"Let's go, oppa . I can't wait to show you my apartment!" Yeri says excitedly.

"You're really adulting already, huh?" Taehyung teases her more.

"Oh stop it, Tae oppa."

Outside of the airport, Yeri leads Taehyung to her car and helps him with his suitcase. As they drove off, Yeri couldn't help but ask Taehyung about the sudden visit and why she can't tell her brother that he will be staying with her.

"How are you?  Can you tell me now what happened back in Seoul and why you're hiding from my brother?"

"It's a long story," Taehyung sighs.

"Hey we're going to be stuck in this car for an hour before we get to my apartment so, I think we have enough time for a long story."

Taehyung sighs again. He was hesitant to tell her everything at first, but then decides to tell her all the details.

"He did what?!?! No, no, no hold up. Tae oppa, I'm not saying this because Jungkook oppa is my brother, but I think you should hear what he has to say first because I'm 100% sure that he could never ever cheat on you. And the pictures? Oh, oppa, when we look at photos we see what we want or expect to see that we fail to see a bigger picture. I mean, come on! You work in the entertainment business. Pictures of rumored celebrity couples get published almost every single day. It's always better to hear it straight from the horse's mouth." Yeri gave Taehyung a lengthy POV.

"Wow, Yeri. I didn't see that coming. You sure are mature for a 21 year-old."

"Well, I had two role model hyungs back in college. What do you expect?" Yeri winks at Taehyung.

They arrived at Yeri's apartment faster than expected — thanks to her insane driving skills. We went inside and I was amazed. The apartment was huge with three bedrooms, a big kitchen that was artistically and seamlessly connected to the living room.

"This is so amazing, Yeri. Your apartment is so beautiful,"

"Thanks oppa, come on, Ill show you to your room." Yeri led me to the guest room with purple walls adorned with a lot of framed photos in all shapes and sizes.

"I love how you decorated this room. It's so homey and nostalgic," Taehyung said. When he looked closely at the photos, he realized that they were all photos of him and Jungkook. His eyes widened as he looked at Yeri. "Now, how do you expect me to move on and forget about your brother when I'd be seeing his face while I'm in this room?!"

"Oh, stop it. There will be no such forgetting nor moving on from ever happening. Look at this as a vacation or a retreat where you pause for a while and reflect," Yeri corrected Taehyung and pointed her finger at him for saying such a thing.

"Aigooooo, you are still so cute when you get mad," Taehyung pinches her cheeks.

"Hey, I'm serious hyung. You'd be breaking both your hearts if you give up just like that. I know it would be hard to trust him again, but prove to the world that your love can withstand any doubts you have by learning to trust inspite having them."

Taehyung walks to Yeri and gives her a big hug, "Thank you, Jeon san."

"You're most welcome, oppa. Just think about it okay?" Yeri gives her a pleading look.

"Arasseo, arasseo," Taehyung ruffles her hair and touches her nose.

"I love you too, oppaa. Now, rest up."
