Par Amour [Taekook ff]

19 | Clientele

A/N:
I've already posted this before. I have to apologize beforehand. I needed to add a little drama to Taekook's situation-ship so get ready to hate me. I had to add someone we all could get behind hating. But please stick with the story!

Taehyung could only recall that song's lyrics sung by Beyoncé... "To the left, to the left...." from the song Irreplaceable. He felt like a toy that a child was done playing with or had grown out of.

What happens to toys when people are done with them?

He had made future plans with the guy who hired him as a prostitute. He thought they both were falling in love with each other. Kook had said he didn't know what he would do if he lost him. But, Tae thought it looked as though only he was the one suffering.

He had become a walking zombie. He hadn't eaten and had barely slept for a couple of hours. Taehyung had stayed up with his sister and shared with her the news. She encouraged him and asked him to not give up on Jungkook. Early the next morning, Taehyung got her to the airport first thing in the morning.

He felt like an empty shell. Jungkook had wounded him so badly that he couldn't cry. He had turned him into a wounded animal who needed critical care. He knew that only love could hurt like this.

Even though he saw a break-up coming, he tried to do everything he could to hold off the inevitable. He had experienced romantic splits before but this one was different. This was a big love. Big lust. Big friendship. Big fun. Big heartache.

Taehyung had been warned by Yoongi to not get involved with Jungkook romantically. But, the advice came a little late. It was offered after the night of the couple's second interview. By the time he heard his boss' advice, he had already developed a soul tie. Tae was already attached to him after the night of the interview at Jungkook's apartment.

Taehyung did not know beforehand what would transpire that evening of the second interview. For some reason, Taehyung felt drawn to him that night. Maybe it was the nature of the conversation coupled with the consumption of alcohol. By the time Taehyung had to leave Jungkook, he wanted to stay forever.

And Jungkook had never felt the same. At least Tae didn't think so. He did know that Jungkook was falling for him. He also knew it scared the shit out of Jungkook. The vulnerability and the lack of control were what Jungkook feared the most. With the added threat of being rejected, his fears were heightened. For these reasons, Taehyung tried to reassure him whenever he could. And for this same reason, Jungkook pushed him out of his life.

Now, the house of cards had fallen and Taehyung didn't know what to do.

But before he could continue to wallow in misery, he had to talk to Yoongi. His boss was on his way over to speak with Taehyung in person.

"I'm sorry to hear this news, Tae. Maybe he'll come around?" Yoongi tried to comfort his friend.

"I want to at least try to get him to change his mind. I'm gonna go over today. It's Sunday. The day we usually sleep in and just have a lazy day." He slumped down into his couch and sighed.
