Count The Stars With Me [COMPLETED]

Chapter 8

Jungkook must've slept in the morning because when he woke up it was already past noon.

He was having a terrible headache so he stepped into the kitchen to look for some medicine.

He couldn't help when his eyes were trying to find Taehyung. He was in the corner, reading books.
Jungkook looked into some cabinets and found a painkiller. His eyes were still lingering on Taehyung who was not paying attention to him at all.

He sighed and took the medicine.

How will they live together like this? How long till the storm stops?
Jungkook looked for something to eat.

There were some things that he could make with the basket Mrs Johnson gave them.

Should he ask Taehyung if he wants to eat something?
But, what if he doesn't want to talk to him?

Jungkook's eyes went to the empty instant noodles bowl.
That's good.

Cool.

He ate already.

Jungkook doesn't have to make food for him. He can make all the things he wants just for him.

As it should be.

They are strangers to each other.

Yup

It's cool.

"FUCK YOU KIM TAEHYUNG" Jungkook screamed at him and went to the room.
He didn't stop to look in Taehyung's direction. To look at his reaction.
He doesn't have to.

Taehyung decided for them so it's easy now.

He stayed in the bedroom even when his empty stomach growled.

Jungkook doesn't want to see Taehyung.
The night came and Jungkook was startled by the doorbell. He went to the living room and saw Mrs Johnson and Taehyung standing at the door.

She had another basket with him.

"Oh look at you!" She got excited to see him, "What happened to your face Jungkook? You're puffy."
Jungkook forgot that the all-nighter he pulled and the crying had made his eyes swollen.

He purposefully yawned, "I was just sleeping, maybe that's why."

Jungkook felt Taehyung's gaze on him. It did not feel good.
"I came to give you this basket, You can still come for dinner though but I thought that maybe you two want to have dinner all by yourself."

Jungkook understands the meaning of those words. She still thinks that they're a couple.

Should he go to her cottage for dinner?
Or maybe Taehyung will go?

He doesn't even feel like eating anything.

"Thank you, Mrs Johnson but we'll eat here." Taehyung chimed in.

Jungkook could still feel the dark gaze on him but he didn't bother to look in Taehyung's direction.
The old lady gave the basket to Taehyung and went from there.

Jungkook too left the living room.

He knows that there is only one bedroom and maybe they'll have to share it tonight.
But, he also knows that Taehyung doesn't want to.

He needs space...from him.
His stomach growled once again, he hadn't eaten a single thing the whole day. And Taehyung hasn't left the living room.

It was probably midnight when Jungkook couldn't handle the hunger anymore and went to the kitchen.
There was something on the kitchen island covered with a plate.
