"Hit back! Fight me!" Jungkook shouts at the helpless Taehyung as he gets up with a bloody nose after just a punch.
"I don't want to fight Kook..." He says, holding both arms up in surrender.
Jungkook pushed him back and gets back to his fighting stance as if he was on a sparring practice. "What's the matter Tae? You're getting soft now?" Jungkook mocks him in pure disgust before throwing another punch, this time landing on Taehyung's shoulder.
"You can hit me all you want... I'm not hitting back Kook!"
"Don't call me that... only my true friends call me by my nickname. You're clearly not one of them... TRAITOR!" Jungkook attacks once again with a hard push. "Come on! Fight back you bastard!" He shouts at him with so much hate.
"Jungkook please... you can punch me until you're satisfied, I won't hit you back... but I want to explain myself."
"What the fuck will you explain? Huh? How you went behind my back and took advantage of Eun-ji while I'm away?!"
"I didn't go behind your back... I tried talking to you so many times but you never answered my calls!"
"Well you didn't try hard enough!" Jungkook retaliates with another punch on Taehyung's side causing him to flinch in extreme pain.
"I didn't mean to hurt you Kook! It just happened... I fell for Eun..." Taehyung says but was interrupted mid sentence with another blow from the raging man in front of him.
"Don't you dare mention her name! What? Is she another one of your conquests? One of the girls you fuck and tell friends? Oh wait... you don't have friends left!"
Jungkook was surprised to see Taehyung charge at him with a hard fist on his jaw thus sending him to hit the ground. He knew Taehyung could throw a punch but never this hard. He strokes his jaw briefly before standing up.
"She is nothing like that! I love her! I love her with everything I have. You can mock me all you want, but don't you dare attack her with your ignorant words!" Taehyung spat in anger.
"You fucking bastard! I love her more! I've loved her for so long and you knew about it! But you still went after her! What kind of friend does that?"
"If you really love her then why did you push her away and left her behind? You broke her!!! I was there to fix all the shit you left! So don't come spitting at me like you didn't do anything... because as far as I can remember, you told her to go on with her life without you!" Taehyung was shaking in anger as he let out those hurtful words.
*******
"Oh god... what happened to your face?" You cry out seeing his swollen eyes, bruised cheek and bleeding nose. You run back to the kitchen and grabbed a bowl with ice and clean towel. You sat beside him on the couch while he was seated comfortably leaning all the way back, raising his head to keep the bleeding at bay.
"I ran into Jungkook..." He says in a weak tone while you try your best not to hurt him further while cleaning his face.
"You could've avoided him instead..."
"I didn't want to fight him... He just attacked me with a punch out of nowhere." Taehyung says while hissing under his breath in pain.
"You should've just walked away babe... leave him there with all his pent up anger."
"I tried talking some sense into him but he kept provoking me."
"Let me guess, he said something about me huh?" You asked, sounding a bit more serious.
"Something like that..."
"Babe, I told you this many times... I don't care what they say about me."
"I know that... but I can't stand how people see you as just another girl I'm seeing."
"We both know that's not true babe... It doesn't matter if other people find our relationship absurd as long as we're both in on this... together."
"How the hell did I get this lucky?" Taehyung asked his usual line whenever he feels safe with you. "I love you... so, so much."
"I love you too babe... so, so much." You said, pouring out everything you have for this crazy man who never fails to surprise you each time.
After treating Taehyung's bruises, you let him snooze in the couch for a while. He looked so tired that you didn't have the heart to disturb his sleep. You got up to your room to get fresh blankets and pillows for him. He was already mumbling incoherent words while you tried your best not to wake him up as you drape the soft fabric over his body then sliding the pillows on his side. You give this man a soft peck on the forehead before taking your phone out to send a text message:
<Text Message>
Eun-ji: Let's talk. My house, tomorrow at noon.
Jungkook: <seen>
*******
🥹 "I hope you're enjoying this so far."
