OFF LIMITS || JK

HYPOCRITE {23}

It had been almost a week now and Tae still wouldn't talk to me.

This was just ridiculous at this point. He was acting like a child and a hypocrite. It was really pissing me off, honestly.

I tried reaching out to him but he just ignored my texts and calls. Hell, he even ignored me at school.

At this point, I didn't care. I wasn't going to keep going out of my way if he was just going to act like a child about it all.

Tae is like my brother but right now, how he's acting is just childish and I'm not going to deal with it. I decided that much.

"He's still not talking to you?" Auburn sighs as she sits down next to me in the cafeteria.

"Of course not. I don't even care anymore. This is ridiculous." I say, angrily setting down my milk carton.

"Don't say that, you two are best friends. I don't want you fighting because of me. I'll talk to him, okay?" Auburn says as she leans Into my side slightly.

I shrug, not caring at this point because I knew he wasn't just going to let it go. If Tae was anything, it was stubborn. He wouldn't just let this slide.

We finish off our lunch then part ways as we head to class. Which, I dreaded. School to me, was complete shit. Although I was smart, I hated school. I couldn't wait to graduate.

Luckily, class didn't drag out too long and before I knew it, I was going home.

As I was sitting in my room, I got a text from Auburn.

A- I'm about to talk to Tae now. I'll let you know how it goes, okay!

I send back a thumbs up, knowing it wouldn't make a difference wether she talked to him or not. He wasn't going to budge.

So why bother.

AUBURN'S POV;

I made my way towards the basement, aka, my brother's room. I needed to knock some sense into him about this whole Jungkook and I situation.

He was being stupid and was going to ruin his friendship over something that didn't concern him.

"We need to talk." I say, knocking against Tae's door. There's no answer on the other side.

I twist the knob and push it open to see Tae sprawled out on his bed, looking at me with a face of pure annoyance.

"Just leave me alone Auburn I don't care to hear whatever you're going to say. Go make out with your little boyfriend or something."

I scoffed. "Grow up, would you. One, you have no right to be angry at Jungkook for this. I'm old enough to make my own decisions on who I date and you have no say in that. Besides, Jungkook and I aren't even officially dating, you idiot. Maybe if you had stopped and listen to what he had to say instead of being an asshole you'd know that. Yeah, we like each other and I want to see where it's gonna go. You have no say in this. It's between Jungkook and I." I say, my words angry.

Tae stares at me, taken back. He doesn't say a word.

"Don't even get me started on how much of a hypocrite you're being right now too!" He stayed silent. He knew I was right.

"So stop acting like a child and ruining your friendship over something that's none of your business. Sure, he didn't tell you but I see why he didn't. I wouldn't either if I knew you'd react like this. You should be happy for your friend! If anyone should be mad at anyone here it should be him at you! What kind of friend acts like this when their friend is doing something that makes them happy." I say, feeling myself getting angry for Jungkook.

My brother stares at me with wide eyes and his jaw slacked open. He stayed silent, clearly at a loss of words.

"Forget it, clearly you don't care. I thought after everything with Mel, you'd at least understand. I'm so fucking happy you and Mel are dating and Jungkook is too. The least you could do is be happy for Jungkook and I, but no. You only care about yourself." I sigh, turning on my heels as I head out the door.

"Jungkook was right, this was pointless." Is the last thing I say before I leave, leaving Tae with my words.

I make my way back up to my room before I call Jungkook, letting him know everything that had happened.

"I told you it wouldn't make a difference. It's whatever, if that's how he wants to be then so be it." Jungkook sighs on the other end of the line.

"I'm sorry it didn't work. I know you two are best friends so I'm sure he'll come around. Besides, as long as we're happy who cares." I say.

Jungkook agrees. "You're right. All I want is to see where this goes and hopefully be lucky enough to call you my girlfriend soon enough. We don't need your brothers approval for anything. If this is what we both want, then that's what really matters."

I smile as I lean back into my bed. "Exactly. I'm really happy with you, Jungkook. I'm excited to see where this goes and I can't wait to hopefully be your girlfriend soon enough too." I say and Jungkook laughs, causing me to smile.

"I want to see you. Come over tomorrow?" He asks and of course, I agree.

The rest of the night, we fall asleep on the phone together.

No matter if my brother approved or not, Jungkook and I were going to give this a try.

Nothing is off limits.
