"Kookie, do you mind taking the trash out the front? The garbage collector would be coming soon" Mrs Jeon said as she opened jungkook's door and poked her head in..
Jungkook  sat up on his bed and smiled at his mom "okay"
"What are you even doing in here, watch TV or something.. Or go to taehyung's..i think I'll be locked up in my room for a while, I have tons of work and I have to submit on Monday"  Mrs Jeon chirped as she slid into jungkook's room... Jungkook wasn't his usual chirpy self, sometimes she just had to drag words out of him, she always catch him spacing out..
"I'm good, just tired" jungkook replied
"You always say that, is there something you aren't telling me? " Mrs Jeon asked, she sat on the edge of jungkook's bed..
"You've been awfully quiet these days, and after school, you just stay in your room until I call you for dinner.. Besides you look like you lost some weight " Mrs Jeon added looking at her son, jungkook looked down at himself..
"I haven't lose any weight mom, you're just imagining things... "
"Did you and Tae fight? " she asked cutting in.. Jungkook couldn't make out what to say..
"I'LL GO AND TAKE OUT THE TRASH " he yelled as he bolted out of the room...

He sighed as he approached the kitchen,

This week had been much of a rollercoaster for him, he missed taehyung, he missed his best friend.  But Tae was acting like he doesn't know him, they would just casually pass each other..

Jungkook could only be his self when he was with jimin or Eun Ji, but after school, everything just hits him and all he just wanna do was curl up and get lost in thoughts..

Jungkook had been skipping breakfast and only eating little in school, the only time he did ate was when his mom arrives from work and made dinner, he didn't want her to worry, he didn't even know he had lost some weight until his mom pointed it out..

He grabbed the trash and went to the backyard where they had an oversized garbage bag, he tossed the the smaller bag inside and wheeled them out to the front yard..

"Jungkook?"  someone called, jungkook's head whipped to the direction he had heard his name.
"Hyung?" jungkook called, the latter smiled at him revealing his perfect dimples..
"I was just taking a stroll" Namjoon said walking up to jungkook.
"In this sun?.. Yeah only you would do that" jungkook teased, Namjoon laughed..
"Well I was hoping to see you around"
"Me?" jungkook pointed at himself, he wasn't surprised, he knew why Namjoon was looking for him..
"Let's walk, we'll stop near the park, at least there's a shade there" Namjoon suggested, jungkook hesitated and looked back at his home, hoping his mom would just come out last minute and rescue him... But oh well, he just nodded and they started walking.. Namjoon decided not to say anything until they got to the park.. It was a semi large park that was made for the neighborhood, for families that had kids... Although they mostly fill the place in the evening.. But some few teenagers were could be seen hanging out.. Either with their younger siblings or friends.  Few stray cats roamed around, some playing with the kids while others were being fed treats..

Namjoon bought mini cups of ice cream and handed one to jungkook, they both sat on a swing chair under a tree, that gave them a reasonable amount of protection from the sun...

Jungkook slowly ate his ice cream waiting for Namjoon to talk.

"What happened?". Namjoon asked, looking at a kid that was running and giggling while a white cat raced with him, he wasn't going to beat around the bush, he knew jungkook knew what had got them here in the first place... Jungkook sighed.. He didn't know what to say

"Don't you want to talk it out with him" Namjoon asked, when jungkook hadn't spoken anything..
"Hyung... I.."
"You're both so stupid" Namjoon chuckled "you miss each other like crazy but you decided to avoid each other". Namjoon stated.. Taehyung had been a total mess, either he was mumbling jungkook in his sleep or he was spacing out...
"Talk to me kookie... What really happened, taehyung isn't telling me anything" Namjoon added..
"We just had an argument, and I sort of told him off" jungkook said.. "I didn't really mean it, my emotions got the best of me Namjoon hyung.."  he added..
"And the reason for the argument was?". Namjoon asked..
"Taehyung is being possessive" jungkook blurted, Namjoon quirked his brows in confusion..
"Hyung" jungkook called as he fully turned so he could stare at Namjoon.. He was going to tell Namjoon everything and maybe Namjoon could talk some sense into taehyung
"I know it's always been me and taehyung since day one, we are best friends and best friends were supposed to stick together and support each other right?" jungkook asked, Namjoon nodded trying to get where jungkook was heading at..
"There's this girl, in school, she started this term and we sort of clicked and I really like her.. But taehyung doesn't..he doesn't want me around her.. He starts acting up whenever he sees me with her.. I guess he's not used to me making out friends, but Eun ji... I don't want her to be just my friend.. But taehyung is already so mad with just me talking to her, so I decided not to involve him in anything that concerns her.. But it's hard hyung.. I expect him to be happy for me and support me..". Jungkook said... Then sighed.. He was talking fast..
"I don't know why he's acting like that hyung, he kind of overdid it, and I blew up on him.."
"It's okay.. I totally understand you, I'll talk to him.. I know taehyung can be a handful sometimes.. He's such a baby..."
"Yeah a cute one"
They both laughed..
