Liar.


V was a liar.


And Jeongguk, he felt like a fool.


Felt an utter fool for falling into him every single time. For still believing in him, no matter what he did. For not wanting to give up on him.


But it was all too much.


Right now, it was too much. Tears hindered his vision, he could barely see where he was going through the blur. But before he could even make it past the kitchen, a strong grip at his wrist held him back from fleeing any further.


"Jeon—"


The boy quickly interrupted. "I d-don't want to talk to y-you.." He gulped down a soft cry. "Just let m-me leave.."


Taehyung watched the younger's side profile while he kept his gaze down, unable to look him in the eyes. "Seriously...?" He muttered in a scoff. "So you're going to keep running from me. That it?" The older sank his teeth to his bottom lip, his grip on Jeongguk's wrist tightening with great force to the point the boy winced at its pressure.


"That h-hurts.." He nearly whispered. "Let g-go of me.."


The man's jaw lowered, the grasp on the younger finally broke loose while he retreated his hand and took a few steps back. Jeongguk's trembling hand moved to hold his wrist, where the skin had been blemished a light red from Taehyung's strong grab on it. He lightly rubbed at it to soothe the irritation, cautious of the way the alter was now clenching his fists.


"Don't walk away yet." Taehyung's deep voice finally pushed out, and Jeongguk's lips parted at his oddly soft tone. "Please."


His brows furrowed, not quite used to the alter attempting a more gentle approach. In fact, he had expected V to just let him walk away, or perhaps even get angry at him somehow, for having been caught red-handed with women's underwear buried inside his bedsheets.


But the man seemed to be... trying to talk it out with him.


That was certainly new.


"May I explain?" Taehyung spoke again, now daring to make eye contact. And with the simple gaze, Jeongguk couldn't help but relax himself, taking a moment to catch his breath and mentally prepare for this conversation.


"Y-Yes.." He gave in.


After all, he was still curious. Curious to know what it was the alter had to say about all this, considering he was silent about it back in the bedroom.


And now Taehyung merely stood there, his stare detaching from Jeongguk while he dug his hands into his pockets. Then with a low breath, he began his explanation. "So that girl—the one you saw on my lap at the classroom earlier.. She did kiss my neck a few times."
