SACRED - JIKOOK

ANGER

Jungkook sat with his friends with a dejected frown. Ever since that day at the confession booth he had been absolutely miserable. Just completely given up on trying to have a good time. "Jungkook? What's the matter?" Seokjin asked. "You look like you just watched the love of your life pass away." He said, noticing the horrid frown on the youngest face.

"I uhm.." he began, but unable to finish. He couldn't admit why he was upset. They'd just tell him they told him so. He was embarrassed and hurt enough already. "It's probably about that church boy he's obsessed with." Hoseok muttered, unable to hide the disgust in his voice. Jungkook froze at the mention of Jimin and gulped, looking down at his full plate of food he hadn't touched.

"What happened?" Taehyung asked, frowning at seeing his best friend looking so sad. "I.. uhm.. I found out.. how he feels about gay people.." he admitted. "And it's not good.. he thinks we're brainwashed and I'm need of saving.." he said. The entire table went quiet except for Hoseok, who'd begun to laugh. "I knew it. I knew you where gonna get hurt, Jungkook. You should have listened to me." He said. Jungkook sunk in his chair at his words.

"Hoseok stop it. How is that Eve remotely helping? Just be nice." Namjoon scolded, to which Hoseok tsked and looked away. "Jungkook.. do you still want to be friends with him?" Yoongi asked, only half paying attention. "Why don't you have him meet us? He obviously has never been around gay people before and could use a change of scenery." He suggested.

"Yeah.. Yoongi's right. Maybe he just needs to see it for himself. Maybe then he'll be more comfortable." Namjoon replied, stuffing a few fries into his mouth. "I guess I could ask him.." Jungkook said quietly before quickly pulling out his phone to send a message.

Jungkook smiled at the sweet messages despite his nervousness. "Alright.. Jin can you take me to pick him up tomorrow at 2 and we can just meet at the regular spot?" He asked hopefully. The eldest of the group smiled at him. "Anything for you because you're cute." He said. Hoseok grumbled in his seat.

"If he starts spewing Homophobic crap I'm gonna punch the shit out of him." The red haired male said, his anger pretty obvious. "I'd you lay a finger on him I will choke slam you, don't test me." Jungkook threatened back. "He's hyper religious. Not a jerk. He's not just gonna start yelling that you're going to hell. He might think it but he won't say it. I hope this will make him more comfortable." Jungkook said.

"I'm surprised he even wants to go after knowing you're gay." Taehyung commented, to which Jungkook let out an awkward chuckle and scratched the back of his head. "Well.. he doesn't really know that I'm gay yet.." he admitted. To which every single one of them yelled an enthusiastic "WHAT?!"

"So you didn't tell him?!" Seokjin called out. "Well.. I did but.. he was behind the confession booth..." the other five instantly and collectively smacked their own foreheads in disappointment. "Jungkook if you don't tell him soon you'll never tell him. You'll regret it for the rest of your life if he doesn't know." Namjoon said. "Well when I confessed he said to who he thought was a random person that they should pray, repent and stay away from that guy they like so they don't taint him." He said.

"How could I possibly tell him that it's me, knowing he thinks that way and will never speak to me again??" He asked. The others went quiet again. He did have a point. "How about realize he's a waste of time for you and focus on what's important." Hoseok suggested, malice once again lacing in his tongue.

All the men looked at him in disgust. "What..? I'm just trying to protect Jungkook from getting heartbroken." He said. To which Namjoon sighed in frustration. "If you don't have anything nice to add to this conversation I think you need to leave and collect yourself. We'll see you later." He said, his voice kind but obviously exhausted from his attitude. Hoseok's face fell as he was rejected from the group. All because he was telling the truth.

He kept his head down, his red locks of hair covering his sad tear brimmed eyes as he stood and walked away. "What is up with him lately?" Seokjin asked while rubbing his temples. "I don't know but he really isn't acting like himself." Yoongi commented. Jungkook watched the unmoving door that Hoseok had disappeared through and pursed his lips. "Here.. I'll go talk to him." He suggested. "I'll see what's going on." He said, standing and grabbing his tray of food he hadn't even touched

"I'll be back. I'll let you guys know how he is." He said before quickly jogging out to find his red haired friend. He found him walking through the halls not far from the food court and softly touched his shoulder, which in turn caused Hoseok to retract it harshly, startling Jungkook. "Don't touch me." He cursed. "What is your problem? You're worrying everyone. Something is obviously wrong. Why won't you tell us?" He asked, fed up with his attitude. "Are you kidding me? You're my problem, Jungkook."

The taller male staggered backwards with a shocked and annoyed look on his face. "Excuse me??" Hoseok let out a dry laugh. "Do you enjoy getting a rise out of me? The whore friends with benefits that isn't worth your time if it isn't a quick fuck?? Ignoring me for that stupid annoying church mouse when I can be so much better??" He yelled. Jungkooks face twisted into anger. "If I recall, you're the one that wanted this. I told you I didn't want to date you and you begged and begged for me. I told you no a hundred times but you wouldn't stop!" He fired back.

"God I wish I cut you off when I said no the first time. I have wanted nothing more than to stop our arrangements. You're too much for me Hoseok and I can't take it anymore." He seethed, taking a deep breath and storming off, leaving Hoseok alone with his thoughts.
