Breathing Snowflakes///TaeKook

Five

"I'm calling one more time my phone's gonna die soon, so after that I'll conserve it as much as I can." This was a disaster, and if it hadn't been for me we wouldn't have been in this position. "Hello? Jungkook? Is everything okay?" My boss finally answered and thank god for that because everything was garbage and I hated myself at this moment in time. "Thank goodness! You finally answered! So, Taehyung and I got stuck in the freezer and we wanted to know if you'd be able to get us out?" I asked and I heard a breath of frustration from the other line.

"Well I live about an hour away, but I will be there as soon as I can be. Just be patient and stay warm. I can't have my employees dying on me." I heard this and the line went dead. I checked my phone and I still had ten percent left. Luckily my phone wasn't that old so it wouldn't die too fast. "Well what did she say?!" I looked up and saw Taehyung in my face. I aggressively pushed him away, and scoffed at him. "Stay out of my face, and stop cursing." I rolled my eyes, and turned away from him. I had no clue why I was so annoyed by anything he did, but it's just how it was.

"I don't understand you Jungkook. You are the embodiment of a prick, and I really hope you know that. I'm so sick and tired of trying to be your friend again when all you do is treat me like a piece of garbage. Why are you always so cold towards me?" Taehyung asked. I had no answer, so I answered with another question.

"Why are you always so annoying?" I said as I rolled my eyes. I then wrapped my arms around myself because I could feel my body temperature slowly dropping. "I literally act like every one of our friends Jungkook! We used to be so close, I literally don't understand what changed. Things haven't been the same ever since I dated.. Wait.. Jungkook," Taehyung stopped talking, and I looked up and glared at him. He finally got it through his head after all this time.

"You left me Taehyung, and blew me off to go hang out with that guy that wasn't even good to you. When you two broke up, I wanted to be there for you, but every time I tried to help you would yell at me. Then you tried to act like nothing happened. So every single time you talk to me, I get annoyed. You can't really blame me." I didn't realize my eyes were dry until I stopped speaking. I had held eye contact with Taehyung so long that my eyes were burning, and all I could do blink everything away. He looked at his feet and all I saw was shame.

"I'm so sorry Jungkook. I never meant to hurt you, I just didn't want to put any of what I went through on you. It wasn't fair, and if I told you everything that he did, you probably would have ended up in prison. I didn't want that for you." Taehyung said this, and my brain instantly started spiraling. What did he mean by that? What did he do to Taehyung?

"What do you mean?" I asked, and Taehyung sat down right in the middle of the freezer. His knees were against his chest, his hands were cupped around his face, and his body was shaking. I then realized he was having a mental breakdown. I hesitantly kneeled on my knees next to him and wrapped my arms around him. He felt so cold in my arms, and I couldn't help but be reminded of how him and I used to be. We used to be best friends, and now I knew nothing about him. We haven't talked like this in so long, and I honestly missed that. It had been years.

After about 10 more minutes Tae wrapped his arms around me and calmed down. He then unwrapped his arms from me, but left his hands on my shoulders. "Thank you Kook. I'm so sorry for everything I put you through back then. I didn't mean to abandon you, but that man changed me in so many ways that I literally hate him. All I have to say is he was very abusive towards me, and he kept me away from you because he was jealous. He thought that I was cheating on him with you, and I'm sorry I didn't tell you. I just know how you are, and I didn't want you to make a stupid decision." I looked at him, and I could see so much pain and sadness in his eyes. A rush of anger surged through and he was absolutely right. Had I known that two years ago, I would have definitely murdered the guy.

"Well you're definitely right. I would have killed him, but I do wish you would have said something about it before. That way we could have worked on being friends again and avoided this whole situation. I'm sorry for being a prick all these years." I said with a sad smile, and he smiled back at me. "Well I guess it's time we start doing just that." I agreed, and the freezer door finally opened.

"How the hell did you two get stuck in here?" Mrs. Kim said this, and I had no idea what to tell her. "I was messing with Jungkook, and I accidentally moved the door stop. My apologies Mrs. Kim." I looked at Taehyung in appreciation, and he bowed to Mrs. Kim. "Okay well make sure you don't do that again Taehyung, but I'm glad you two are safe. Get out of here, and I will see you guys when you work tomorrow." We both bowed once more, and made our way out of the store.
