"Hey! Stop right there you fucking faggot!" A boy yelled, making a 12 year old Taehyung freeze in place. It was dark, after school and unlucky for him Yoongi was home in bed, sick, instead of by his side. He just took a deep breath before hitting the ground.Used to being beat up for being himself, he just whimpered in pain as he felt the punches on his body, followed by the humiliating words and name calling from his classmates, after which he just forced himself to stand up and swallow the pain, somehow getting himself back home which was only a few blocks away. He could barely walk anymore.
That night he cried himself to sleep again, as he thought about how much better it would be to be a bully. That way he would never have to suffer like that again. He would never be humiliated again. Never just a 'faggot'. Just a nobody.
He would be somebody. Somebody to fear. Somebody to adore.
__"That's it. There's nothing else you don't know about me." Taehyung sighed, looking away at the sky as he sat beside Jungkook on top of the abandoned building much better known as their spot.
"Nothing else? Are you sure?" Jungkook questioned, glancing at the other.
"Nothing at all." Taehyung replied confidently, facing Jungkook who just looked away. "So? Where do we stand now that you know what a horrible person I am?"
"You're not a horrible person. But you're not a good one either." Jungkook took a deep breath. "I don't know Tae. I need a day or two to figure it out."
"Why? It's a pretty clear decision. Either you still love me or you never did." Taehyung replied, still staring at the other.
"There it is again! The manipulating bullshit! I fucking loved you but it's not that easy alright?!" Jungkook stood up. "Namjoon used to tell me how I barely scratched your surface- how I don't even know you! And I hate the fact that he was right! I always defended you and I told him what an angel you are and that you saved my life and then! Out of nowhere I get hit with this person who isn't the you that I know! My head is a fucking mess, at least try to understand me!" he explained in anger.
Taehyung silently stood up in front of Jungkook. "I'm sorry that you feel that way. But I can't change who I was and apparently, the effort I put in to change who I am now isn't enough for you to believe in me. I never thought I would say this and mean it but, I'm sorry that it had to be me that saved your life that day. I wish it was somebody else."
