Taehyung didn't know what was happening. It all happened so unexpectedly, and the younger was sitting across from him, genuinely confused.

"I...," Taehyung began, then bit his lips in confusion and worry.

"It's okay," Jungkook breathed out.

"I understand you. I'm sorry I made you uncomfortable," he said in one go, on the verge of breaking down. Why not, when he was being rejected by the love of his life? Maybe it was a bad decision to express his feelings now.

He stood up instantly, took his bag, and stormed out of the house, wiping his eyes harshly with his sleeves as he exited. He didn't want to seem like a crybaby; according to him, he was a 'bad bitch.' He don't cry; he makes others cry.

He ran and ran, and as he walked through the pavement, he sat under a cherry blossom tree. The night had engulfed the surroundings, and he started crying like a baby. He was crying and snorting, wiping his eyes with his sleeves, but new batches of tears kept coming. On the other hand, Taehyung was so flabbergasted at the situation. He was sitting there confused. The younger must be mocking him. How could the person who is the most beautiful with the most beautiful smile, someone everyone had a crush on, propose to him? And not just propose, but open his heart to the elder. He must have said it to mock him, or there must be a bet, right? Yeah, right. Not giving it much thought, he laid down but couldn't help thinking about what the younger said. He put his hand on his heart; it was beating so hard. He couldn't help but wonder at the sincerity of the younger, but he couldn't let his fragile heart have hope and be broken in the end.

The whole night he was unable to sleep.

The next day he saw the younger walking with his friends, roaming around with his shades on even in the classroom.

"Kookie, can you put down the shades now?" Yoongi said as he sat with his best friend.

"No, it's swag, you don't understand," Jungkook said, holding his head high. Yoongi sneakily took off the younger's shades, only to be met with red, swollen eyes, as if bitten by a bee. He gasped and instantly put the shades back on Jungkook.

"What happened?" he asked worriedly.

"Got rejected," Jungkook said as Yoongi saw a tear falling down his cheek. Jungkook didn't look like he was crying from the outside, as he looked cool, but his hidden eyes showed how much he had cried and was still crying.

"Wait, where are you going?" Jungkook took the elder's wrist in his hand as he saw him rushing somewhere in anger.

"To teach that douchebag a lesson," Yoongi gritted his teeth.

"Don't call him that, and it's not his fault that he doesn't love me back. It's my destiny to be like this," Jungkook breathed out.

And after that day, Taehyung didn't see the younger for three months.
