Scratch

Chapter 10 Apologies

'Wait, just stay here.' Jungkook said rushing out from the living room, leaving a confused Taehyung.

Tae could hear him talking to someone on phone. He asked Hobi for the recording and showed it to Tae.
Tae saw how he suddenly backed away when she came closer, how angry he was and suddenly his expression changed to fear when she threatened him, saw her smirking while mixing the vitamin in the bottle, he saw how Jungkook's controlled his tears when he rushed out of the office. He saw everything.

He just sat there letting his tears drop from his chin to the hoodie. 2 weeks was the time he was trying to say it to Tae, he remembered how kook cried when he told him to leave him. Now he could say why he seemed so lost, lonely and tired. He was indeed tired. He needed Tae all this time, but he couldn't ask.

Tae sat there letting his tears drain his anger, but they surely could not take away his guilt from him. He looked up at Jungkook who still seemed sacred, scared to being abandoned again.

Tae slowly wrapped his arms around his body and hugged him tightly. He squeezed his body and cried.

Kook too engulfed him in his embrace. The wounds on his back hurted as Tae tightened his hug. He didn't know if he should be happy or sad. But his warmth was enough to make him feel satisfied.

"Kookie... " He said between his sobs

"I'm sorry" Jungkook replied

"No, NO, I am SORRY!" Tae said.
"Please.. I.. I didn't know, I'm sorry"

"Tae.."

"It's not your fault." Tae said pecking his lips.

He touched the blood clot on his lips.
"Your lips were bleeding?" It sounded more of a statement than a question.

Jungkook nodded.
Tae holded his nape and rested his forehead on his. But Jungkook hissed in the on the sudden contact, making Tae sit straight.

"What is it, show me?" Tae asked.
Kook lowered his head to show the back of his neck. It looked like it was scratched by nails, some were still half covered by his shirt.
"I'm going to kill her kook!" Tae said.

"Wait here I'll apply medicine on it." Tae said and came back with the first aid kit. "Remove your shirt."

"What, why?" Jungkook asked startled.

"Just do as I say."

"but.. why?"

"Because I said so...
Not like I haven't seen your back!"

"Tae, I.." He couldn't find a good excuse.

"REMOVE THE SHIRT !"

Jungkook looked at his lap without uttering a word.

"Okay, I will just leave then." Tae said as he stood up from the sofa and turned to go.

Before he could Jungkook holded his hand and made him turn back to face him.

Jungkook's eyes met with Tae's glaring eyes. He slowly unbuttoned his shirt not daring to look up at him. As he removed his shirt Tae sat besides him. Tears forming in his eyes when he looked at his back covered with scratches and clots.

Tae cupped his cheeck and made him look straight into his eyes.
"Why didn't you tell me?"

His hands made their way to his back trying to caress them.
"Do--don't    aAh!" Jungkook cried.

Tae took the medicine in his hands.
"It would hurt a little." He said.

Tae applied the medicine. While the other balled his hands in fist, trying not make any sound. Even if it hurted him he was happy that all of his wound will heal.

Wah, finally did this!
