Chapter 89

A/N:

Hey folks. I'm a day late. I apologize. I was out yesterday and I came home so lae that I physically had no energy left for anything. 

But alas, the chapter is ready. 

Please enjoy. Do vote and comment if you like it please. IT motivated me to keep going! I really miss how much we used to talk back in the day before my 2 year unplanned hiatus. Ugh bad times. 

Anywho! See you in the next one!

                                                         ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Taehyung called Taetae out but he was met with silence.

"I know you can hear me Taetae. Come out please. I need to talk to you about something important."

"But I didn't do anything why are you upset with me?" – Taetae's voice was small and laced with worry.

"What? I'm not upset with you Taetae, I just need to talk to you about something real quick and it's important."

"You want to talk to me? About something important?"

"Yes Taetae."You remember when you told me about meeting Jungkook way sooner and we talked about telling him?"

"Yes?"

"Can you tell me if you're ready to tell him now?"

"Why?"

"Well, I was having a conversation with him, he's in the other room, and I think he can tell something is weird. He told me he wants to help us very much and he doesn't understand why. He feels very responsible for us. I think we should tell him, maybe he'll understand why he's feeling what he's feeling. He might have forgotten it but that belongs to him as much as it belongs to you. Don't you think we owe him that explanation if it'll help clear up some of his confusion?"

"But what if he gets angry at me that I've kept it from him all this time? I'm not ready for that Taehyung. I can't be happy if I make him upset. He's my favorite person. I don't want to lose Kookie." – Taetae sounded genuinely afraid of losing his... well his only friend. Taetae never got to meet anybody. He only ever had V and later on Jungkook. Taehyung makes the third person on his very short list of people he's ever developed any sort of relationship with. And Jungkook is the only one that lives outside of the body he's been in since he was around. So losing Jungkook was a big no. He knew it would break him.

"I don't think he's going to feel anything other than happiness if it helps him fill in some of the missing puzzles in is life sweetie. Why don't we just trust in you guys' friendship and in his judgment and tell him? What do you say?"

Taetae was silent for a few moments. Taehyung figured he's just give him the time he needs to make his decision. Added pressure wouldn't be doing him any favors.

When Taetae was ready he spoke the words he never imagined he'd be speaking this soon.

"Okay Taehyung. Let's tell him. But after you tell him can you please give me time with him? I want come out and talk to him alone. Is that okay?"

"No problem honey. But only if you promise to bring me back today as soon as you are done with your conversation. I can't miss any more work right now and I have a lot of work lined up."

"I promise I won't keep you inside more than I need to."

"Okay then. Let's go tell him."

Jungkook was waiting calmly for Taehyung; that is if you consider a display of leg shaking, nail biting, vacant eyed, nervous human calm. Jungkook sprinted off the couch as soon as Taehyung entered the room once more. Although he wondered what Taehyung could have needed to get done so urgently in this time of high stress and worry, he decided to leave it alone and not ask. Taehyung was here again, and that's all that mattered.

"Jungkook I have to tell you something. Well actually, we have to tell you something." – Taehyung said.

"We?" – Jungkook wondered out loud.

"Yes, we. Taetae is here with me and he's decided to tell you something important that he's been having a hard time bringing up with you."

Jungkook started thinking back at all his encounters with Taetae in trying to come up with something that Taetae might have wanted to tell him about but wasn't able to. He couldn't come up with anything so he just let Taehyung continue without uttering any words. He simply nodded in approval.

"I'll just relay his words to as accurately as I can." – Taehyung started to listen to the words Taetae was saying and speaking the outwardly so that Jungkook could follow the short yet seriously unexpected story the man was about to be aware of. – "4 years ago you were in a club in France."

Jungkook's eyes widened almost threatening to pop out of his head. Taehyung shouldn't know that, he couldn't know that. Nobody knows that. Let alone Taehyung or Taetae as a matter of fact; or so he thought.

"That night, for whatever reason you were drinking, I mean were you even of legal drinking age? Never mind, let's not stray from the important bits for now. Do you remember this much?"

Jungkook still looked dumbfounded and replied in total surprise and confusion.

"Yes. Yes, I remember that. But how do you know this?" – Jungkook couldn't help asking.

"I'm telling you right now. You were drinking with someone. Correct?"

"I suppose I was. Honestly I was drinking so much that I forgot most of what happened after that. But -"

"Jungkook at one point that night you were drinking with V."

Jungkook's mouth was agape. He shook his head in disbelief.

"What? No way, I think I would have remembered if I had met V before."

"Jungkook, Taetae met you that night. You and V were drinking when V blacked out and Taetae came out."

"Taehyung, I can- I wouldn't have forgotten them like that."

"Jungkook you just said you were so drunk you have forgotten most of the night after you started drinking."

"Yes but-"

"Okay then, tell me this. Do you remember Taetae running away from you at one point because you had forgotten something?"

"Oh my God, yes. Yes that happened."

"Taetae is telling me to tell you that that dayhe was very upset because you had promised him something in France when youguys met. You promised and then you forgot. You forgot him Jungkook."
