Third Person's POV

"T-Taehyung, I can explain-"
"Explain what Jungkook?" Taehyung said out loud. Jungkook flinched at the sudden tone but he also noticed that the other sounded dejected and angry both.
"What exactly are you going to explain? I'm sure Yoongi hyung would never show you my picture, neither would Jimin....or did he?" Taehyung sounded broken and Jungkook knew he made Taehyung really upset. Jungkook may not know everything about Taehyung but he for sure can tell that Taehyung doesn't hide his face just because he is insecure, there's more to the story.
"No, no, no one showed me anything....I just-" Jungkook couldn't even finish his words when he noticed Taehyung wearing his hoodie. He hurriedly placed the bowl of soup on the shelf and went towards Taehyung.
"Hyung, you're hurt, don't rush like t-"
"You can keep your fake concerns with yourself, I'm done with this. I trusted you enough to even let you treat my wounds, I don't even let Yoongi do that but well, people are not always what they seems to be." With that Taehyung left from there.

Jungkook sat on the bed, on the same spot where Taehyung was sitting. He just stared at the portrait for a while before breaking down into sobs.
Did he really fucked up? He really shouldn't have hide the fact that he has seen Taehyung's face, he should have let him know. Jungkook thought he would make Taehyung uncomfortable if he tell him about the unintentional mistake, it wasn't a mistake though but Jungkook understands that it must mean a lot to Taehyung that's why he reacted this way and Jungkook was at fault too, for hiding something he definitely shouldn't have.

"Taehyung-ie? Are you okay? Yoongi called me a while ago asking if you are okay or not, are you not talking to him?" Taehyung's grandmother asked as she noticed him entering into her room.
She was watering the plants in her balcony, they were growing pretty well but one plant wasn't growing at all so she was about to add some fertilizers when Yoongi called her to ask about Taehyung's whereabouts, which he doesn't ask usually, it's either some silly joke or a long conversation about her health and all.
"Please let's not talk about anyone else right now." Taehyung made his grandma sit on the bed and laid his head on her lap, seeking some comfort from her. He had a lot going on his mind and he didn't want to confront those thoughts at the moment.
"What's wrong? Did you get in another fight? Weren't you at Jungkook's?" His grandma asked as he massaged his sculp lightly.
Taehyung hummed in satisfaction as he felt himself drifting off to sleep.
Taehyung woke up around 7:27 pm. His grandma wasn't there anymore, probably in the kitchen, making dinner. He tried to wake up hastily since he had to go to work but regretted hurrying. His ribs weren't doing well at all. Sure the pain was little less than it was before and he didn't feel like passing out anymore, but his ribs still hurts like hell.
He went to his room to take a quick shower before heading to work.
"Taehyung-ie, I made some Bulgogi, have it before leaving for work." Taehyung heard his grandma. Honestly, he wasn't in a mood to eat anything. He still was angry at Jungkook and confused too. How did the other see him? He always made sure that he has his mask on. There's no way his brother would betray him and it can't be Jimin, right? He had many questions and only Jungkook could answer them all but he was way too angry to confront the younger. He knew he was overreacting, but he didn't trust people easily and he did trust Jungkook, a lot to let him in and now he feels a lot more betrayed too.
Taehyung quickly put on a maroon hoodie and a blue sweatpants and ate a bit as he was already running few minutes late. He gave his grandma a quick forehead kiss as he apologized for not finishing the food and headed out.
"This boy never listens to me." His grandma muttered under her breathe as she made her way towards Taehyung's room. She placed the plate of Bulgogi in the refrigerator so that Taehyung can have it later.

Mrs. Kim just finished her dinner and was doing the dishes when the door bell went off. She frowned at the sound of the door bell, since no one was suppose to come at this hour. Was it Yoongi? Or was it Jackson? It has to be either of them.
Mrs. Kim opened the door and saw a young boy, probably of Taehyung's age standing in front of her. The guy had long curly hairs, reaching his shoulders and looked extremely adorable in the brown micky mouse hoodie he was wearing.
"Uh hello, I'm Jungkook, uh Taehyung's classmate?" Jungkook awkwardly introduced himself. He was really nervous since he decided to come over at Taehyung's place when he wasn't even there and it was quite late aa well.
But all his nervousness flew away when Mrs. Kim, Taehyung's grandma broke out in huge smile.
"Oh, you're Jungkook! I'm so glad I could finally meet you. Come inside, make yourself at home." Mrs Kim welcomed Jungkook inside who gave her a toothy grin as he followed her in.
"Our apartment isn't big but please make yourself at home." Mrs. Kim flashed him a small smile and Jungkook hurriedly shook his head.
"No, no, it's beautiful, Mrs. Kim. It looks so lively. Plants, fairy lights, candels and everything else, it's really peaceful and beautiful." Jungkook complimented as he took in the interior of the house, it was indeed beautiful.
Taehyung's grandma smiled at his generosity.
"I'll bring some food for you. I made Bulgogi, you have to taste it. You always send us food and everything but never comes over at us." Mrs. Kim complained and Jungkook smiled at her sheepishly.
Taehyung's grandma came in with a plate of Bulgogi and some apple juice and placed it in front of Jungkook, whose eyes glistened at the sight of the chicken.
"Oh my god! It's my favorite, thank you so much." Jungkook said as he dived into the food.
Jungkook was eating happily, letting out satisfactory moans and was complimenting Mrs. Kim's cooking skills every now and then.
"Jungkook-ie, Taehyung is at work right now. I'm afraid you can't meet him." Mrs. Kim said once Jungkook finished eating his food.
Jungkook halted for a second before looking at her eyes, which were quite red, now that Mrs. Kim notices.
"Hey, what's wrong? Were you crying?" She asks worriedly.
"I am not here to meet Taehyungie-hyung. I purposely came at this time because I'm sure he doesn't want to see me but I had to give the balm to him. He has got hurt, right? And the wound on his ribs are quite bad....so I dropped by to give this balm and uh there's a letter for him as well, can you please give it to him, halmeoni?" Jungkook pleaded her and Taehyung's grandma offered him a small smile before taking the paper bag into her own hands.
"That's why Taehyung-ie looked sad. You guys fought?" She asked and Jungkook looked down, at his lap, kind of feeling ashamed for some reason.
"You know, Taehyung can't stay mad at people for long. He forgives people very easily, just give him some time, he'll come around. He can't stay mad at people he cares about for long, and I'm sure he can't stay mad at you for more than three days. He'll come around. I don't know what happened between you two, but I'm sure he's at fault as well. I'll give him a piece of mind once he comes back-"
"Please don't. He must be tired after a long day. Let him rest for today.....just make sure to apply the balm over his wound." Jungkook said with s pout adorning his lips and Mrs. Kim was very close to coo at him.
"You care alot about him, huh?" Mrs. Kim chuckled out when Jungkook nodded shyly.
"He'll come around, he cares about you as well, he......just isn't much expressive. It's hard to express feelings for him." Mrs. Kim smiled sadly Jungkook understood it must be something personal so he nodded slightly, not wanting to talk about Taehyung's personal life in the absence of Taehyung.
"Nana, I'll take my leave....its quite late." Jungkook got up from the couch and bid her farewell.
Mrs. Kim let Jungkook go only in one condition, he should visit her every week.
