Taehyung

"Make yourself at home, I'm going to bathe Lennon and put her down to sleep, pick a movie and I'll make some popcorn when I come down", he says carrying her upstairs. Not to long after he plops down on the couch next to me with a blanket and a bowl of popcorn, "what did you pick." "It's called I Want You Back, Kook told me about it and said it was really good, is that okay", I ask. He spreads the blanket over both of us then sets the bowl in my lap, "yea it sounds great." 10 minutes into  the movie we both reached for popcorn and our hands touched, we looked at each other and laughed but I dont let go of his hand and bring it to my lips. 

He smiles, placing his hand on my cheek and leaning forward, kissing me, when he pulls back he shoved popcorn in my mouth and laughs trying to lean back but I have his wrist and pulling him to me while I try to grab popcorn but the bowl falls and he laughs even harder, I pull him on top of me and when he is laying fully on me I grab his face and kiss him harder, deeper, his moans fill the living room and I can feel his erection growing against my own, "ah Tae." "Can we go to your room", I ask. 

He stands, pulling me up and leading me to his room, once inside he shuts the door and pushes me against it wrapping his arms around my neck, I grab his ass and squeeze it making him whimper. I push him toward the bed and I make him sit while I get on my knees in front of him, "Seokjin our relationship has been pretty much nonexistent and that was my fault, Hyun tried to get me to talk to you but I was stubborn, I need you to know something", I grab his hands and bring them to my lips. 

"What's wrong Taehyung, if you think I am not ready for this you are wrong, I've wa-", I cut him off. "No nothings wrong, it's just that you should know that the first time I met you in my mom's kitchen, I liked you, probably more than I should seeing I didn't know you, I felt something that day, a spark, a ripple, I'm not sure but it turned my whole life upside down", I finally tell him feeling a weight life off me. "Tae why didn't you ever tell me", he asks. "Would it have mattered", I ask sadly. 

"Yea it might have, look I loved Hyun but Tae that day in the kitchen I felt the same thing you did, a spark between us, had I known that you felt it too I never would have continued with your brother, don't get me wrong, he wasn't second choice because I didn't know I had a choice", he says grabbing my face in his hands, "I thought you hated me, I had feelings for you and every time you ignored me or said something mean to me my heart broke." "I was jealous, I was bitter that Hyun had your heart and he wasn't good to you, I wanted it to be me and when he got sick I had such guilt, I believed that my impure thoughts about you was the reason he got sick", I say starting to cry. 

He drops to the floor next me and holds me to him, "it wasn't anything you did Taehyung, you loved your brother and he loved you so much, he asked for you all the time, he was so happy when you came to see him." Hearing that made me cry even harder because of my ignorance and stubbornness I missed so much, I hold Jin tightly, like he is my life line, "I want to be the one Jin, I want to be the one to take care of you and Lennon, I want to be the one you come home to every night, would that be to weird for you." "Not at all, Hyun knows I loved him but he knew I had feelings for you too", he says kissing my head. I look at him in disbelief, "he what, he knew." "He did, he wasn't blind Tae", he says. I stand up, anxiety starting to rise inside of me, I make a break for the door and run downstairs and hop in my car and leave.

Seokjin

I sit here stunned, Hyun had told me himself that Tae liked me, why is he so upset, maybe I was wrong, maybe Hyun was wrong. I turn the lights off and head to my room, feeling defeated, feeling like I just lost someone else I care about, again. I lay on my bed and curl up with my pillow wondering how I could have read the signs wrong, for years he shunned me, not liking the very air I breathe, then he comes back after a year and acts nice, like we have been friends forever. 

I sit up when the realization hit me, "he played me", he wanted to humiliate me, why hate me for years then all of a sudden do a 360, to hurt me because I hurt him all these years. I throw myself back on the bed and cry, I cry until it hurts and then I cry some more, finally falling asleep. The next morning I woke with a huge headache, I'm hoping a shower will make me feel better, after getting dressed I see a text on my phone from Anna.

Anna - Come to the house for dinner tonight

I don't answer her, putting my phone down, I head to the kitchen to make breakfast, "morning daddy." "Morning baby, how did you sleep", I ask her kissing her forehead after putting her in her chair. "Good, where is Uncle Tae", she asks. "I guess at home honey, I don't know", I say going back to cooking. "Will we see him today", she asks. "No, we are going to uncle Jimin's for the day, don't you miss uncle Jimin", I say trying not to cry.
