Old feelings never die. 

They are usually buried alive and would come forth in uglier ways, they describe. However, in Jungkook's case, he doesn't feel anything for Jackson romantically, not even a little bit. It forces him to use his every strength to push Jackson away from him. 

Eyes wide. Jungkook looks surprised while his lips tremble, immediately reaching to wipe his lips with the back of his hand. It feels wrong when he realised how Taehyung was his first thought after unconsciously letting Jackson kiss him. 

He doesn't want anyone to touch him like Taehyung does. His lips quiver as he snaps his gaze towards Jackson who stood prior to him as shocked as him. 

"I thought…" Jackson struggled to anticipate any sentence. "Kook, I didn't think—" 

"Stop fucking talking!" Jungkook yelled, slightly startling Jackson as his voice echoed throughout the kitchen. "Stop talking." 

"Kook," Jackson reached to grab his hand but Jungkook retracted his hands before he could even touch him. 

"Did I say you can kiss me?" Jungkook spat out, a little harsh — he was angry and regretting turning down Taehyung's offer to stay with him. "I don't date my friends, I don't kiss my friends, you knew all along." He let out a squirm when Jackson stepped closer to him before grabbing him by his biceps.

"I wanted to confess, did I do anything wrong? Tell me." Jackson slightly shook him, making it hard for Jungkook to wiggle out of his grasp as Jackson was stronger than him. "I wanted to confess for long, fuck I waited for it for so long. It's not a joke, try to understand, Kook —please.." 

"Jackson…" Jungkook called out quietly, allowing Jackson to realise how tightly he was gripping on the latter's biceps, making his face unknit scowl expressions. 

"I can't reciprocate you the feelings," 

Jungkook let out a squeak when Jackson jerked him away. 

"Listen—" 

"You like that Taehyung guy that much?" Jackson croaked. "You know he's no better for you," He spat out, face scrunching in anger. "He never will be." He finished, realising how his breathing got heavier with every second passing. 

"You will not decide it for me." Jungkook replied, straightforward. It angers Jackson how Jungkook was so certain about this Taehyung guy. While he hates everything about Taehyung. 

Jungkook murmured. "I'm sorry, Jackson. We will never work." Before he walked away from there. 

Jackson clenched his fists, gazing down at the floor — tears brimming at corners of the eyes. Jungkook never faked his raw feelings towards anything, Jackson deemed when Jungkook said they wouldn't work. He grabs something nearest to his reach before throwing it on the floor, making the ceramic jar shatter in pieces. 

If one has to let go between them, it shouldn't be him. His anger got the best of him and made him take an impulsive decision before sending the voice notes to that certain one. 

Taehyung got the job. 

Candidly, it wasn't a hard one considering how he was a nerd back in school and college days — expertise in his field and subject. Taehyung has always been confident about his knowledge — the only thing which makes him feel powerful unlike his feelings.
