Roomate's Rules ✓ᵗᵏ

21. Not just a bet anymore

|Jungkook's perspective|

      "Jimin hyung, I already told you, I'm perfectly fine!" I repeat again but my friend just look at me not so convinced.

      "When Taehyung told us about your accident, I thought I will die!" Jimin tells in a dramatic tone, and I chuckle a little.

     "I still don't understand how that idiot ran away, after he trampled you with the car!" Jin hyung says and I just look at him with a small smile.

     "It wasn't his fault. I was in the middle of the road. It was also very dark. " I say, and when I see him roll his eyes, I look at the floor. 

     "What the doctor said? You will be able to return this week at classes?" Namjoon hyung asks me and I turn my attention in his direction.

     "He said Jungkook has to rest this week. He can go to the classes after that." another voice comes into the landscape, and I see Taehyung's how enters in the room, beside Hoseok and Yoongi.

    Jimin looks at Yoongi's side with a weird glance, and I can't read his expression. Taehyung smiles at me, and I smile back.

    I still feel awkward when it comes to him. Maybe because he knows about the fact that I tried to kill myself. But even more weird it's that Hoseok knows that too. But I don't feel in the same way, as I feel towards Taehyung. Probably it's because I have to stay in the same room as Taehyung.

    "How are you feeling, Jungkook?" Hoseok hyung ask me and I smile at him.

     "I'm fine, I don't know why I have to stay here a week." I reply and Taehyung frowns.

     "That's because you insisted to leave the hospital, even if the doctor said it's better to stay a few days." my roommate says and Jimin looks at me with, with a serious glance.

     "You told us the doctor allowed you to go." Jimin tells in a lower voice; which makes me to gulp.

    I glance at Taehyung and he just shruggle. Traitor.

    "I don't like the hospitals. It smells like pills and chlorous. These places makes me even more sick that I was before to get there!" I revolt and Jimin rolls his eyes.

     "Then we will have to take care of you this week." Jimin hyung says and before to respond, Taehyung intervenes.

    "No need. I will take care of Jungkook. I know what pills he has to take and his diet. But you can help by entertaining him." my roommate tells them in a cheerful voice, and I don't know why I feel my cheeks hotter, without a reason— maybe just my introvert and dumb ass.

     "Woah Tae, you and Jungkook are very close now, right?" Yoongi asks him and I can tell he wants to make fun of him.

     Taehyung glance at him with a bored look, then smiles forcedly.

     "It's a problem? We are friends, so it's something normal to take care of him, don't you think?" he asks at his turn, and I smile.

     "Friends". I missed this word all my life.

|Taehyung's perspective|

     "So now you are Jungkook's babysitter?" Yoongi asks me in an amused tone, and I just roll my eyes.

     This idiot it's even more annoying than before.

    "What's your problem?" I ask and Hoseok glance at him as well.

     "I have to admit. You can be an actor. You can pretend to care about him so easily!" he says and I refrain from punching him— it's way too stupid.

      "What if I really care about him? Will be something wrong?"

     Yoongi looks at me speechless, while Hoseok smiles— a rare thing at him.

      "You said you are not gay, but you felt in love with that rabbit!" Yoongi exclaims and I slap his forehead.

     "If I care about him, doesn't mean I'm gay. I just think he really needs some friends. And don't call him 'rabbit', it's annoying." I say and Hoseok just looks at me with a smirk, while Yoongi thinks about something, then glance at me.

     "Our bet it's see how you will make him to suffer, Tae. You know this very well. You have to make him your boyfriend, to pretend that you are in love with him, then boom! Heartbroken and amusement! You don't want to lose a bet, right?"  he asks after with his left eyebrow raise.

     "Maybe you should focus on Jimin. I saw how you look at him, so don't talk about that bet again." Hoseok intervenes and Yoongi gulps hardly, probably feeling his ass exposed.

    "Well... He looks hot, I have to admit. I would fuck him, you know?" he asks and I look at him intently.

    He is even worse than me. He loves to play with the other's feelings. I used to love that too, but when I started to know Jungkook, I realized how disgusting I can be. A person it's not a toy, and we can't play with his or her feelings. Jungkook taught me that.
     
     "You are so heartless, but you have to understand one thing, Yoongi." Hoseok says and gets up from the bench. "One day, you will be the one with a broken heart. And you will understand how bad you was with the others." he continues and goes away, leaving me with him.

     "Pff, so boring." Yoongi says then glance at me.  "Tae, I hope you will not forget that... Jungkook it's just a bet, nothing more."

     I look at him then I glance at the ground. How can I tell him that Jungkook it's not just a bet since a while? And if he really insists, then maybe I will lose a bet for the first time. Because I can't break Jungkook's heart even more. He is already broken. And I can't play with him after I find out everything.

     I want to help him. Even if it's not common for me. I want to make him to love the life, and I can't do this if I will consider him a bet.

     Because Jungkook it's not just a bet anymore.
