Taste of Death [ Taekook AU]

Sippy Cup

Roughly twenty minutes passed since Jimin announced Joon and Yoongi were coming to Pinstack to play with the rest, Jungkook let out a sigh hearing the two walking over to the rest of the group.

"Hey you made it, I'm surprised with your terrible sense of direction" Jhope laughed teasing Yoongi a bit, "We live in the 21st-century Hobi, GPS" he gave a tired smile. Jin walked over to Namjoon asking him about how his hospital visit went, "It went okay, same results as usual" he sighed sitting down.

Jungkook watched the boys interact before he turned on his heels walking away towards a game on the other side of the building, he looked at the plethora of games he could play. He glanced over his options, before ultimately deciding on a zombie shooting game. Before he could sit down and get himself settled in, he was interrupted by a tap on his shoulder.

Looking back over his shoulder he was met with Taehyung's smile, "Hey, I thought I said we can do things together don't leave me out" he said before he sat down in the second player's seat. Jungkook looked at him for a moment blinking quietly, "Hyung, you're afraid of zombies" he simply spoke sitting down next to him.

Taehyung chuckled nervously, scratching the rim of his ear a bit "Well that's true, but you have to face your demons to beat your demons". Jungkook stared, reaching to pick up his gun and VR headset, "What does that even mean?" he asked setting his headset on his lap.

"Umm, I'm not sure, to be honest, it's just something my mom used to say. It just stuck with me" he smiled, while they pulled on their headsets. "Your mom? You don't talk about her often, but when you do she seems like a nice person" the younger smiled a bit. "She is, I'll have to introduce you to her one day".

They sat in comfortable silence for a while, before their game started up reading the instructions on what they were supposed to do. While Taehyung and Jungkook were situated at their game the others sat at a table looking over at the two.

"Something seems off with those two doesn't it?" Jin broke the silence suddenly, though none of the others wanted to say it they couldn't help but agree. "Yeah, mostly Jungkook, I think he's been in a bad mood, did you do something to him Yoongi?".

Yoongi furrowed his brows at the sudden question aimed at him, "Not that I'm aware of, why are you asking me that though I haven't even been here until now". Jimin nodded with his statement, "True, but every time we mention you he seems like he gets upset about it and leaves the area" the younger added.

"Dunno, maybe he's just going through something, I don't know", Yoongi then stood from his seat heading over to the Mario Kart multiplayer game. "Let's play something, we shouldn't just sit here and try to play detective if something is bothering him let him say it, we shouldn't assume anything" he diverted the conversation sitting down and waiting for the others.

Hours passed of playing and taking small breaks to recharge their cards or eat and drink something. Eventually, it was 7 in the evening and it was time for the boys to head back home, Yoongi drove Namjoon back to the dorms while the other 5 rode with Seokjin. Taehyung sat in the back near Jungkook while Hoseok sat in the front seat this time around upon Taehyung's request.

They stopped by the dorms to let Jungkook out at his and Yoongi's dorm unit, though he could have rode with the other two he refused and opted to drive with Jin. once they made sure Jungkook made it to his dorm safely, they went and dropped Taehyung off at his apartment, before Jin, Jimin, and Hoseok went to their shared apartment.

"Kook, why didn't you just ride with Joon and me, there was enough room to you know," Yoongi asked upon Jungkook making his way into their dorm room. The younger looked in his direction for a moment, before turning and heading to his room. "I made my decision, don't question me on what I choose to do. I don't question you, now do I, Hyung" he tsked closing his dorm behind him and locking it after.

Yoongi stared confused by his sudden attitude, "Well, that' was fucking rude" he sighed getting up and heading to his own room. "Not sure what his problem is, but I won't pry if that's what I get for caring" he muttered to himself getting ready for bed.

Jungkook on the other hand, lay in his bed staring up at the ceiling, his head spinning with thoughts. He hated every second of it, the constant yelling and screaming in his head was too much for him. The more he tried to stop them the louder they got, and the more his head started to swirl. He closed his eyes tight, pressing both palms to either ear and sitting up in bed.

"Shut up, shut up, shut up" he muttered to himself trying his best to suppress the thoughts. Bright lights began flashing and swirling, followed by a loud and sharp ringing shooting through his head. Jungkook opened his eyes and met with his surroundings shaking and spinning. He stumbled from his bed over to his dresser pulling the drawers open, rummaging through his things tossing everything out onto the floor.

He pulled out a bottle of pills, unscrewed the cap, and quickly took 2 of the pills. After a while passed he sat on his floor surrounded by his things, letting out a sigh he started folding his clothes again placing them neatly in his drawer, and placing the bottle of pills back underneath. "I forgot to take my meds again" he muttered, getting up to shower and head to bed for the night and falling asleep after.

"I hate seeing them"
