Chapter 8: Brusque

Ignore the mistakes plz :)

Third Person POV

His heart thumps painfully like every step of his thumps on the floor when he's rushing outside the club. Hurts painfully as if he got a fucking heartache or got cheated on, feels the pain as if the pain of the world is all on him and only him.

And he shouldn't because what even happened? Just a man who he should've known would need every chance to insult him---insulted him. Nothing out of ordinary happened.

Because it's his own fault. His own fucking fault for trusting Jeon Jeongguk.

How could he even do it? How did he not realize that the likes of Jeon Jeongguk don't help people so easily. They don't help ask something so simple like not wanting to see you in return.

What they need in return is something big. Something they can prey on, prey on and laugh and enjoy while doing so. Something big like Taehyung's respect, his emotions, his fucking heart.

Taehyung refuses to give Jeongguk the satisfaction of breaking his heart though because he doesn't even deserve to break it, let alone have it so that's out if equation. Taehyung will protect his heart from that vile creature atleast.

Even though his respect has been tarnished, ripped off him, brutally and not even a hand touched him. Words, just words and Taehyung once again felt so bare and naked and ready to be the prey of the vile creature sitting in the booth.

And what would they be thinking? Namjoon? Gosh, what would Yoongi be thinking of him.

That he tried to hit on his boyfriend? His fucking boyfriend.

And Jeongguk knew. He knew all along and didn't tell him. The deal was a fucking joke because he was never supposed to help him. He knew what he was doing when he offered.

And stupid, stupid Taehyung agreed. Agreed so easily that lead him to be running out the club like a pathetic loser with his throat closing in and tears mockingly in his eyes, ready to humiliate him further.

Jeongguk killed two birds with one stone so easily that Taehyung how impressed he is. How impressed he is of his fucking evil mind and its working.

How could he not ask if Yoongi was committed, not think maybe Namjoon was taken?

To not notice how Yoongi would always sit next to Namjoon, his either of them would have a hand on one another's thighs.

Or the fucking fact that they live together!

How Yoongi calls him Joonie and Namjoon calls him Yoonie and their nicknames match and Taehyung is so stupid.

That's the fucking gist of it all.

And how he didn't notice the malice in Jeongguk's eyes when he mentioned the threesome because of course, Namjoon and Yoongi were already together. He was the one getting between them.

Taehyung feels the hurt so painful or maybe he's too fucking baby. Too sensitive to be feeling such an ancient emotion but feeling it for the first time.

Just suck it up like a man, no?

No. No because he's hurt and hurt and sensitivity isn't fucking bound to one gender in a high quantity and lesser to another gender. It's equal and it hurts.

He's allowed to feel hurt and he does. He stops in his tracks when he's stumbling out of the club. Deja fucking vu.

And he hasn't used this fucking words this much in his life and that too in his thoughts.
