36: "I deserve it"

Song Recommendation: Unholy by Sam Smith ft Kim Petras

3rd POV:

"So you told him it's over? Just like that?" A deep voice spoke.

"Just like that," Taehyung responded back. Talking to his Hyung about anything serious was always stressful, it always felt like an interrogation of some sort.

"Was he mad?" Namjoon was questioning him further.

"More like sad but I mean I expected that," the younger shrugged his shoulder. It was like the situation didn't bother him in the least, but the two brothers knew that was a lie.

"Are you sure you're ready to move on to a relationship with Jimin fully? I mean, this is a big change," Namjoon always had his doubts about his brother's relationship. It was weird seeing him with anyone other that Jungkook. Even though he had only seen the boy on FaceTime, he could not imagine the fact that his younger brother even found any other boy besides Jungkook attractive.

"Hyung, it's not like we are just starting dating. We've been together," Taehyung tried to get his Hyung to understand.

"A few makeout sessions, some blow jobs, and a couple of  I love you's don't make a relationship Tae. Relationships are about trust, and you broke that," the truth hurts, but it is what the younger of the two needed to hear at that moment.

"But he forgives me," he was so stubborn. It was hard to get him to admit he was wrong. And even if he did, it was never fully.

"I don't think you realize how ridiculous you sound. Of course, he will forgive you. But he's not going to forget, and the trust isn't just going to reappear just like that. You have to show him that he can forget what happened between you and Jungkook. Show him you love him," Namjoon was like a personal therapist. Sometimes the older thought he should be in college for psychology and not for music.

Hyung was right. Taehyung knew it, but how was he going to do that? Jimin was still kind of mad at him.

"I'll see you later hyung," and with that Taehyung left his room, hung up the phone,  and when outside, not forgetting to grab his keys in the process.

You could imagine where he was headed.

The whole drive to the cabin was quiet. He had no idea what he was going to say to him. After all the boy hadn't spoken to him since earlier on this morning.

———————————————————————————
He was at the cabin now. Right in front of the door of the room they were sharing.

After pondering for a few minutes, he opened the door quietly. If Jimin was asleep, he wouldn't want to wake him up by being loud.

Jimin was actually awake, and he was crying. Small sniffles could be heard bathroom. Taehyung felt so bad.

Taehyung POV:

"Baby, you in here?" I knew he was, I just had to make my presence known.

I could hear shuffling before he opened the door and revealed his puffy face. He already had big cheeks so he looked like an adorable chipmunk in his crying state.

"Oh I thought you were still at the hospital," he was trying to smile. He is this way because of me, god, I am a horrible human being.

"I just left," I tried to look at him.

"How's Jungkook holding up?" He sniffled once more, his nose was slightly red. The more I look at him, the guiltier I feel.

"He's good, we talked," the air was thick. It was too awkward for me. I mean, hell, he's my boyfriend not some stranger.
