One Month Later
For one whole month, Jungkook stayed away from the Mins - mainly Tae. He spoke to his friends on the phone and kept making excuses for extra work. Only Tae knew the real reason for Jungkook's sudden disappearance.
Tae was a baby - a teenager - but Jungkook wasn't.
He should have known the boy's intention. How the boy was drawn to him despite his strange behavior. How he has followed him - like Jungkook was a pied piper.
What happened in the rain was absolutely wrong! He never imagined the boy looked at him in that way. But now whatever has happened - happened. Now, Jungkook needed to be more cautious. Not to lead the boy. Not to give him false hopes.
Jungkook tried a lot. A lot.
But he couldn't stay away from this Taehyung as well.
With tears in his eyes, Tae kept staring at the colorful lamp in his room. A gift Jungkook had given Tae on his 15th birthday. How much Tae adored it!
He had been sick since a few days. He wasn't eating well and even avoiding going out. Jimin and Hobi were dropping by every day but nothing comforted Tae.
Jay and Yoongi were worried and took him to the doctor who prescribed some medicines. He begged them to somehow ask Jungkook to visit but even they were helpless. Jay promised that he would definitely visit when he was free. Tae even tried to text from Jay's mobile and iPad but Jungkook had already known Tae's trick and didn't reply back for days.
That broke Tae.
He knew Jungkook regretted the kiss. He knew Jungkook hated him even more. He fucking hated Jungkook to make him feel this low - this inferior - this small.
Since two days Tae was not eating anything so Jay was making every type of juice and bringing it to him every night. Tae was tired of those juices as well.
The door slowly opened and Tae instantly wiped his tears still staring at the lamp.
"I don't want the juice, ma," Tae was annoyed and wanted to be left alone.
He heard the door close and sighed, "Please ma - leave me alone. Will you?"
When he heard footsteps he instantly sat up and opened his mouth to shout, "I - said - I -"
There stood Jungkook in a denim jacket and jeans. Somehow he looked so young.
Tae didn't say a word and saw him approach Tae and put the juice on the table by the bed.
"Drink this," he demanded and stared at Tae with a stoic look, "Why are you doing this? Your parents are so worried you know? Jay is - restless."
Wiping the tears in his eyes, Tae laughed sadly, "Jay is restless. What about me? I am the one suffering here. I am not feeling well. I have not had any food in my stomach since 2 days. But why would you give a fuck about me, right, Mr. Jeon?"
