The Fault In Romance

21

jungkook's pov:

as soon as I heard a knock on my door I frowned and slid out of bed, I rubbed my eyes as I tried to open them. I am quite a light sleeper so I was not surprised that I woke up to a knock at my door. the one thing I was surprised at was when I open my door and my eyes landed on taehyung. 

I rubbed my eyes again to make sure. 

"tae?" I whisper, my voice low. once my eyes were adjusted, my eyes widened when I saw that he was crying. his teary eyes, red cheeks and tears running down them as he tried to say something but nothing came out. I immediately pulled him into my room and shut the door, it instantly locking afterwards. 

"what's wrong" I whisper, cupping his cheeks in my hands as I wipe those tears. he tried to form the words, his hand being placed on his chest. the way he was taking gaps as he cried made me realise he was finding it hard to breath. 

"come here" I whisper, pulling him into my chest gently as I slowly rocked us side to side. my hands on the back of his head and the lower of his back, rubbing small circle's to try calm him down. 

"It's okay, I got you" I whisper. I know that all I could do is just be there for him. I wont lie, I am touched he came to me. it does make me feel like he trusts me, he seems like whenever he feels down he deals with it himself and does not show people his vulnerable side. 

after about five minutes of standing there I felt taehyung unwrap his arms from around me.

"you feeling a little better?" I ask, very curious to know what is going on. he nods his head, looking down at the ground. I lift my finger and graze the bottom of his chin, lifting it up so his eyes meet mine. 

"what's going on" I whisper

"I am s-so t-tired of it a-all" taehyung whispered. I did feel my heart clench at those words, seeing how devastated he looked. maybe talking about what is going on is the last thing he needs. 

"can I s-stay h-here" he whispered, my heart definitely fluttered at his request and I immediately nodded. 

"I can sleep on the f-floor" he whispered, I shook my head and wiped the last tears that were on his cheeks. 

"you take the bed, I will sleep on the floor" I whispered back, taking a step back to see his jumper was wet from the tears. 

"take your jumper off and I will get you another one of mine" I said, going to my closest to grab another one. 

"I d-dont mind s-sharing the b-bed" he stuttered when I turned back to him, his upper half on display. he had his arms wrapped around himself to hide. I could see that he was insecure. I spread the hoodie in my hands and placed it over his head. 

pulling it down as he slid his arms into either side. 

"I dont mind either" I whisper, leading him to the bed. I pull the covers back and let him slide in first. I had a queen bed so there was plenty of space. 

once we both were on the bed, I turned to see he was laying down. his head rested on the pillow as he faced me. I also slid down, mirroring him as I pulled the covers over us. it was silent at first, to me it was comfortable silence. 

I wont lie, it is strange to have someone else in my bed with me. someone who I have been wanting to get to know for a long time now. all the lights were off, the room was dark. I heard taehyung gulp and then let out a shaky breath. I looked at him to see his eyes were teary again and he was trying not to cry. 

"oh tae" I whisper, watching as he let out more tears. I wrap my arms around him and pull him towards my chest. I tell him to let everything out, his hand grips my shirt as he let those heartbreaking sobs all out. 

eventually when all I heard was small sniffles I decided to speak. his head was still on my chest and my arms were still around his waist. 

"I know you dont want to talk about it, so I wont pry. but if you ever want to tell me whats going on, call me, text me, pull me out of class or training I will be there" 

"t-thank y-you" taehyung whispered, his hand still fisted into my shirt. I wanted to calm him down as much as possible so that he could fall asleep. 

"n-no one can get in here, r-right?" he questioned

"no one. only me. if someone tried an alarm would go off. I promise you no one will come in" I reassured him. 

"ryan, yoongi, namjoon all know that if they need me to text me first and then I will come out" I felt him nod against my chest. 

"have you read much of your book?" I asked, rubbing my hand in circle motions on his back. 

"no, I plan to read more tomorrow" he replied quietly. 

"I cant wait to hear about the ending" I say, I am quite curious to hear how the book will go. 

"you will be the first person I tell" he says and I can feel the smile from here which makes me smile. 

"promise?" I ask and he giggles slightly. 

"I promise" he replies back. 

"I texted your mum before to book an appointment. I will be at yours in a weeks time" I say

"I heard you guys wanted to do a study group thing. we can do the first one at mine on the weekend. so then you know where the house is and know where to go for your appointment. you could also meet my mum so you will be less nervous for when you meet her for the massage"

"that is very thoughtful. I will take you up on that offer, we can tell the others tomorrow. what time do we show up?" I ask 

"let me talk to mum first about it and I will let you know" he whispers letting out a few yawns. 

"sleep tae, you should rest" I say, still rubbing his clothed back.
