Red Knot - [JIKOOK] {COMPLETED}

Pt. 17

Jungkook's POV

Well...This past week has been eventful.

I kept recalling that day we both yelped. I yelled because of my string literally burning, but I don't know why he yelled.

As much as I want to stay away from Jimin and ignore him at all costs I just can't.

Something is making me want to be around him even though I haven't said a word to him since.

It's always

"Jungkook this"

"Jungkook that"

and I never reply with words. I just nod

Which must really piss him off, but it is what it is.

If I were to attempt to talk to him he'll bring up his big question of "whATs WrOnG?"

Which I don't want to answer anytime soon.

I want to talk to him so bad, but I just can't-

"Jungkook!!" I heard a yell from upstairs which could only mean Jimin.

I took all my courage and locked up the shop before walking upstairs.

Like I said it's been awhile since the string burn incident and I've been avoiding being close to him.

I make eye contact with him and he pats the area on the bed next to him.

"Okay...You don't have to tell me what's wrong, but it's killing me. I like talking to you and being the best of buds" He said and apart of my heart felt defeated at the thought of him only thinking of us as buds.

"Please it doesn't have to be all of it. Just give me something" he said and I swallowed my saliva.

"Are you and Taehyung a thing?" I said and he looked at me so confused.

"What?" he said with a smile.

And I sighed and asked it in a different way.

"Are you and Taehyung dating?" I asked and he bursted out laughing.

"AHAHAHHA OH MY GOD IS THIS WHAT YOU WERE HAVING AN ATTITUDE ABOUT?" he laughed and I tried to laugh.

Little does he know it's way bigger than that.

"Yeah I just felt hurt that y'all couldn't tell me the truth" I lied...well partially lied.

I gotta admit a big part of why I had angry outbursts was because of Taehyung. Of course not all the time but some.

"You've got to be kidding me. You're so dumb" he said ruffling my hair and giving me a hug.

I smiled and hugged him deeply. Which made my pinky tingle.

I needed that, even though I don't deserve it because I'm being an asshole without explanation I still needed it.

"You're cute you know that? being a jealous little shit" he pinched my cheek and I pulled his hand away.

"I WAS NOT BEING JEALOUS! I was hurt you guys didn't tell me" I defended and he shook his head.

"Jungkook we're only best friends, nothing more" He said and out of impulse I naturally grabbed his hand.

I started to play with his pinky and imagine the thought of my string being attached.
