Arranged Marriage | Taekook

62

Taehyung stared at Jungkook and blinked.

Taehyung: What?

Jungkook: Do you even know how I felt? All those times I waited for you to call back, hoping to hear from you, while you were off... living your life in Thailand.

Taehyung scoffed.

Taehyung: You think I wanted to do that? I poured everything into my studies because I wanted a better future for me. I thought you'd understand.

Jungkook: Understand? How can I understand when you cut me off without a word? Do you realize how hurtful that was?

Taehyung: Hurtful? You think you had it hard? I was the one who felt like I was losing everyone every day. You had everyone here with you while I was there all alone.

Jungkook: And whose fault was that? I'm not the one who chose to stay away from my family and friends and study in a foreign country. You could've easily cared for grandma and studied here in Korea. The only difference is that it takes more time.

Taehyung: I wanted to finish it early Jungkook-

Jungkook: Well you can't always take shortcuts in life Taehyung. Sometimes you have to sacrifice something for the sake of your loved ones.

Jungkook stared at Taehyung with rage filled in his eyes. Taehyung kept quiet not knowing what to say.

Jungkook: What? Cat got your tongue?

Taehyung: Jungkook listen, I never wanted things to end up like this-

Jungkook: What did you expect huh? Did you really think everything will be the same when you come back after three years of literally no communication?

Taehyung got frustrated and snapped at Jungkook.

Taehyung: Why are you getting all worked up? We were not even that close to begin with.

Jungkook looked at Taehyung, eyes filled with hurt and pain. 

Jungkook: Than why are you complaining? If we were never that close, why do you care even if I didn't spare any time for you? If we are not close, I don't want to waste my time on you.

Jungkook than turned away and stormed out of the room, leaving Taehyung alone.

>>> Time Skip <<<

>>> At Cocktail Canvas <<<

The bar was dimly lit, the sound of soft music blending with the muted chatter of patrons. Jungkook sat at the bar, his face flushed, a couple of empty shot glasses in front of him. The atmosphere was thick with a sense of loneliness.

He slurred slightly as he tapped on his phone and called Namjoon.

Jungkook: H-Hyung.... c-c-come pick me *hiccup* up *Burf*

Namjoon: Jungkook where the fuck are you? Are you drunk?

Jungkook: I'm a-at Cocktail jdhhdksk....

Namjoon: What?!!!

Jungkook: C-canvas....

Namjoon: Hang in there. I'm coming.

Moments later, Namjoon arrived, scanning the room until he spotted Jungkook, barely holding himself together on the bar stool. He rushed over.

Namjoon:  Jungkook, oh man, what happened? Are you alright?

Jungkook looked up, tears spilling from his eyes as he met Namjoon's worried gaze.

Jungkook: Hyung... I missed him. I missed him so much.

He choked on his sobs, leaning forward on the bar, burying his face in his hands.

Namjoon: Hey, hey... It's okay. He's back now.

He reached out, rubbing Jungkook's back soothingly.

Jungkook: I know but... Things changed now. It's like... he doesn't even care. We were getting along just fine, and now...  he's acting it's like we never had anything special between us.

Namjoon's heart ached as he listened, remembering how much Jungkook talked about Taehyung during the past three years.

Namjoon: Have you tried talking to him?

Jungkook: I did. But every time I called... he just... he ignored me off like I was nothing. I felt so alone, hyung and now when he's back. He's acting all nuts.

Jungkook's voice shook as he tried to suppress another wave of tears.

Namjoon: Shhhh. It's alright. Just give him some time. He must be feeling overwhelmed. Trust me Jungkook, he cares about you a lot. He was very sad when you didn't attend his arrival nor went to the dinner. He kept asking where you were. He misses you too Jungkook.

Jungkook looked at Namjoon and smiled.

Jungkook: Really?

Namjoon nodded giving him a tight smile. Jungkook laughed.

Jungkook: Y'all hear that?!!!! My husband misses me too!!!

Namjoon quickly covered Jungkook's mouth with his hands, and looked around at the people who were staring at them. He smiled apologetically at them before glaring at Jungkook.

Namjoon: You really are something when you are drunk.

>>> Time Skip <<<

Namjoon drove off to his house after dropping Jungkook home. He dialled Yoongi's number and called him.

Yoongi: Why the fuck are you calling me at this time? If you want to have sex with me, let me tell you I don't want to get beaten up by your boyfriend.

Namjoon: The last thing on my mind is fucking you. Plus the reason you told is weird bro. You should have said that you have a boyfriend.

Yoongi: Whatever. Plus who said you'll get to fuck me. I'm a top bro.

Namjoon: And I'm a top too. So this means that we can't have sex with each other and have to stop talking about having sex right now.

Yoongi: Your are the one who called.

Namjoon: Yeah but did I mention having sex with you? We both are in separate relationships, are you crazy? Why did you even think that I'd want to have sex with you?

Yoongi: If you don't want to have sex me why the fuck are you calling me at this hour?

Jimin: Have sex with who?

Namjoon sighed as he heard Jimin's voice.

Yoongi: Namjoon.

Jimin: What?!!!! Are you going to let him fuck you?! 

Yoongi: Why the fuck does everyone think that he is the one who gets to do the fucking?

Jimin: Because next to him, you'll look like a freaking submissive bottom. I gotta admit, Namjoon hyung gives such daddy vibes. 

Namjoon mentally slapped himself on the forehead and ended the call.

Namjoon: What is wrong with these people?

He created a group chat including all of the friends except Jungkook and Taehyung and started a group call.

Namjoon: Guys, we have a job.
