Two in one

24

Namjoon then added, "He seems very confused nowadays."

"He probably is and that emotion, most likely, mixed in with him being scared and-"

Whoosh!~

Before I could continue, the door swung open, and in came Jungkook announcing, "Jimin, I'm back with the stuff. Some of the things I couldn't find but I got the majority of... what is everyone doing here?"

- - - - -

Jimin's pov:

Oh shit... now we gotta tell him even though we don't have a firm conclusion as to what is going on with him...

"Well..." I began, "Who's gonna tell him cause I sure as hell am not."

He furrowed his eyebrows, "Tell him what? Seriously guys, what's going on?"

Everyone looked at one another until Jin clapped his hands, "Alright if no one's gonna say it then I might as well."

Taking a deep breath, he explained, "Jungkook, ever since that day you ran out on Taehyung, we've all noticed how you've been acting strange. Today, Jimin brought us here so we could share some of the moments we've experienced with you acting weird so we could conclude as to why you've been acting that way."

"We haven't exactly figured out what it is but all we know is you tend to act confused/frustrated when you come face to face with Taehyung, but when you aren't around him and only think about him, you act very lovesick."

"If you could please explain what's going on, that'd help us save time a lot quicker, and help you."

Hearing the way Jin explained it to the point Jungkook seemed like he was caught made me believe he'll finally open up to us and let us end this stupid charade like we don't know what's going on.

"I... I don't know what you're talking about..."

However, hearing that stupid remark come out of his mouth just angered me.

"Bruh, are you serious," I sucked my teeth, "Kook, we are trying to help you and you just resisting our help or pretending like you don't know what we talking about when you do, isn't going to solve anything."

"Quite frankly, it's going to make you more stressed and more upset since you know you're running away from the problem."

After I said that, the whole room fell silent while Jungkook just lowered his head.

"It's... it's-" he sighed as he covered his face and fell into a low squat, "It's hard to talk about it since I don't even know what the problem is or how to address the problem!"

Namjoon stood up and approached him, "And that's okay. The best way to figure out what's wrong is to go through all the steps as to why this or that could be the problem but just remaining silent isn't going to help."

"So, if I may," Sangwoo cleared his throat, "Rant about what's on your mind with us and we'll listen then give you our input. You might think we're being imprudent on your life but once you talk it out, you'll only realize what we're trying to do."

Lifting his head back up to stare at us, Jungkook pouted then groaned, "Fine... what you're all saying is true but when it comes to Taehyung... I just feel stuck which is why I want to avoid talking about it or just dealing with it."

"Okay, do you happen to know why or have an idea as to why you're stuck?" I questioned.

He paused but, eventually, nodded.

Yoongi asked, "Do you mind sharing?"

"When we were kissing on that day, I remember a moment between my dad and me. I had asked him how he knew my mother was the one and he told a story as to how she finally let her guard down and showed him her true self."

"I guess... when I opened my eyes and realized what I was doing with Taehyung, I felt bad... like, at that moment, he was kissing my alter ego that I only let a few people see; Jeongguk. But, he was also kissing Jungkook... he just... wasn't aware."

"Plus, it also made me go through a loophole since I remembered how he kept calling me 'Jeongguk' and 'Jungkook.' Who does he like? He barely got to know Jungkook so it's like... he only knows one part about me and not the rest without realizing it..."

"Ugh... my head hurts and I probably hurt all of yours... I'm sorry."

Shaking my head, I said, "No, no, no, no need to apologize. I get what you're saying and I'm pretty sure everyone else does as well."

Looking over my shoulder, I asked, "Right," while they all agreed.

"I think you're just overthinking and when you try and break it down into a simpler thought, it branches out into other thoughts which leads you back to square one; you being stuck." Hoseok let out while Jungkook nodded.

Yoongi clasped his hands together as he said, "Alright then, would you mind if we shared what we thought about this situation? It could help you or it could make you even more confused, it all depends on how you interpret it."

"Go for it." He gave a thumbs up.

"Okay then, let me go first since I have the most insight on this," I raised my hand while everyone gave me the green light to continue, "The day you told me how he teases you at work by calling you both names was the day he finally pieced together Jungkook was Jeongguk and vise versa."

"He was able to come to that conclusion when he took you to the cafe as Jungkook and ended up reliving the night- ah, the night you two finally started to bond but in that case, you were Jeongguk."

Picking up what I was saying, Namjoon added, "So quite frankly, he's known both of those parts make up you and you've been stressing about him not knowing that."

"No," Jungkook protested, "You don't know that."

Jin rolled his eyes, "Boy, yes we do. And that entire story about your dad telling you how he knew your mother was the one or how he knew he loved-"

"Hey now, I never said love."

"Kook. It meant love." Jin growled while Jungkook shook his head.

He argued, "No being the one doesn't necessarily mean you love them."

And at that moment, I knew what his problem was.

"You're scared to admit you love Taehyung." I gasped.

Jungkook scratches his head, "No? I never said I loved him either."

"Jungkook, it makes clear sense! That's the piece you were missing in all this! Love," I chuckled while I continued, "Let me break it down even more. What has he been denying or saying he wouldn't do? Fall in love and most of all, not fall in love with Taehyung."

"We would always say he was showing signs of such and he would just turn it down even though he knew he loved him. I bet you, all this endless worrying is just him making up excuses to further distract him from the fact it all revolves around love."

Everyone began talking amongst one another as they realized what I said made sense while Jungkook panicked, "No, it's not love! I swear to you all, none of this has to deal with love, and most importantly, I don't love Taehyung-"

"Then why have you been stressing this topic when it's clear your fathers' story was about love and trust?" Sangwoo questioned which just made Jungkook fall quiet.

Finally, we've done-

"No... I... guys, I gotta go." Jungkook whispered.

With that being said, he picked up his phone and wallet then went over to the front door where he would then slam it shut with him being on the other side.

Narrators pov:

As everyone stared at the door, they all thought, "Oh boy... now we've just made him run farther away from the truth."

A/N: Bruh c'mon, JK is a punk right now. Mmm, I still hope you enjoyed the chapter tho!~
