【 Jungkook 】

After wordlessly having let Taehyung lead you back to his apartment, you now found yourself sat on his living room couch whilst the older restlessly paced around the place for a bit— clearly still deep in thought about what he had witnessed earlier on

It was only when you ran your fingers through your hair and softly cursed under your breath that Taehyung finally seemed to snap out of it and stop pacing as he looked over at you, a very puzzled expression forming on his face when hearing what you suddenly whispered out to him

Jungkook: Stop pacing around and just forget what you saw earlier...

Taehyung: You're telling me to forget what I-...?! Jeon Jungkook what the fuck is up with you right now?

A frustrated sigh left your lips as you rubbed your temples whilst getting up from your seat and walking over to him slowly; the indescribable sense of humiliation that you currently felt as a result of him accidentally witnessing what should've remained a fragment of your past resurface, momentarily seemed to take over your emotions and turn that humiliation into a sense of bitterness without you even realizing it

Jungkook: Is it so fucking hard to forget something you never were meant to see in the first place, Kim?!

He scoffed while looking down at you, clearly perplexed by your attitude as he rubbed his temples

Taehyung: Yes— yes, it is Jeon! Do you know how fucking frustrating it was to see the sassy Jungkook I know, not utter a single word when those idiots pushed you around however they wanted whilst spouting complete garbage? Are you their stress toy or what Jeon Jungkook?

You gritted your teeth from frustration while glaring up at him, eyes unknowingly glossing over while your tone accidentally came to sound far harsher than intended as you sternly replied to him

Jungkook: If it was so damn frustrating for you to watch then why the fuck did you even bother getting involved— you could've just walked off and let me handle it damit!

A breathy and near-sarcastic laugh left his lips as he raised an eyebrow at you in disbelief

Taehyung: Jeon Jungkook quit lying to yourself, you clearly couldn't handle shit back there!

Even though you knew you actually just hated the fact that you felt like an immense burden; embarrassed to have had someone else fight a battle that you should have been able to fight on your own— your chest still clenched painfully whilst you poked at his chest and spoke up once again, voice breaking as you knew all too well he was actually right about you needing his help back there

Jungkook: Look Kim you don't know shit about what it was like back at my old uni, and you don't know shit about what it's like living life as a mono, so b-back off and don't act like there is an easy fix to a battle I've fought all this fucking time!

Taehyung: How the hell was I supposed to know when you've never told me, I am not a fucking mind reader! Jungkook listen I—

He tried to grab onto your arm but you quickly stepped away and shook your head, trying to swallow the painful knot of cries forming in your throat as you lowered your head and turned your back against him to hide the silent tears slowly beginning to flow down your cheeks— a faint ''I h-hate you...'' emitting past your lips as you clenched your fists whilst beginning to head towards the exit.

Though your words were not ignored by Taehyung, as you could hear him let out a low groan which shortly was followed by the sound of determined footsteps heading your way, and merely seconds later, you felt him suddenly spin you around while one of his arms wrap around your waist— the other hand gently grabbing ahold of your chin and guiding you to tilt your head up, his voice sounding stern and daring when he spoke whilst looking down into your eyes

Taehyung: Say that again Jeon?

To which you bravely uttered out another ''I said, I hate you K-Kim-'' only to feel his lips press down against your own to silence, taking you by surprise before you closed your eyes and returned the angry and intense kiss that was being shared between the two of you

Which surprisingly slowly ended up helping the two of you calm down as you finally pulled away after some time to catch your breaths, his grip on your waist tightening slightly almost as if he was making sure you wouldn't run away

Just as you were about to whisper out an apology, Taehyung beat you to it as he looked down into your eyes apologetically— voice far more gentle than it had been only a couple of minutes ago while he gently caressed your cheek

Taehyung: Gguk I'm sorry if I made you feel belittled in any way, I shouldn't have made it sound like your struggles had an easy fix to them... You're absolutely right, I don't know nearly enough about your struggles, and I really am sorry.

A sigh of regret left your lips as you slowly leaned over to rest your forehead against his chest, arms slowly wrapping around his waist whilst you softly spoke

Jungkook: No I'm sorry hyung— I shouldn't have let my humiliation get the best of me and lashed out on you like that... You helped me fight a battle I clearly wasn't strong enough to fight on my own, and I'm really grateful for that

He hummed softly as he flashed you a warm smile whilst caressing your hair, voice sounding almost like a gentle whisper as he shook his head reassuringly

Taehyung: It's okay Gguk... Some battles you don't have to fight alone, and what happened today was one of those battles— don't beat yourself up about it okay?

Upon hearing his gentle words of consolation, you instantly teared up again making Taehyung widen his eyes in a mixture of surprise and concern as he gently began wiping your tears

Taehyung: Oh Gguk— why are you crying hm?

You sniffled softly and rolled your eyes whilst looking away in embarrassment

Jungkook: I-I'm not... I just— got dust in my eyes...

A soft chuckle escaped his lips as he pulled you into a comforting hug, gently stroking the back of your head whilst whispering out a teasing ''Sure if you say so''

Taehyung: ...So are we okay now, or do you still plan on fighting me?

This earned a soft giggle out of you as you raised your head to look up at him before slowly shaking your head as a 'no'

Jungkook: We're good now... I'm sorry hyung

He gently flicked your chin upwards whilst biting back a warm smile

Taehyung: All is forgiven Gguk— instead, how about you tell me about the things that happened at your old uni? I genuinely want to understand you better, but only if you're okay with it of course.

After giving it some thought, you nodded slowly and piped out a soft ''Okay'' whilst flashing the older a timid smile— and that's how the both of you spent the rest of the night; sat on his couch as you walked him through the messy and frustrating path you walked before getting the approval to transfer over to the Uni you now were in.

Taehyung attentively listening to your words whilst offering comforting back rubs and reassuring nods to let you know he was listening.
