Layover

28. Jealousy

"Is this about Yoongi not being okay with us?"

I accepted Taehyung wanting to go home but while sitting in the car, I suddenly feel like changing my mind.

"Jungkook.."

Jungkook. Not Kook, not baby. Just Jungkook. If his need to go home didn't break my spirit, that did it.

"Please don't tell me it's about Mingyu.."

There is no need for confirmation because Taehyung's reaction speaks for itself. His grip tightened around the steering wheel and his jaw clenched.

"Are you seriously jealous of an old friend?" I feel offended at the fact Taehyung believes I have the capacity to pay attention to someone that isn't him.

"I just.." he starts, as he pulls over in front of my house.

"You just what?" I ask annoyed and I'm so angry and frustrated from his behaviour, I feel like slapping him.

"I just don't like how you are with him!" he shouts and I look at him shocked because I didn't expect anything like that.

"He always touches you and he wants to be there with you. You forget when I saw you two hugging in the bathroom? Like, what was that about?" I've never seen Taehyung's eyes like that, so on fire for all the wrong reasons.

"That was because of you.. I was crying because of you!" I shout back unable to believe we are having such a stupid fight. "You know what? Let's go talk about this upstairs," I recommend, trying to calm myself down. "I don't want to be shouting in the car."

"No, I'll go home," Taehyung mumbles and I've had enough of this man child.

"Fine! Go! Maybe you should call Seojoon and I'll call Mingyu. I bet he will want to come over. Goodnight!"

"I get out of the car and slam the door, walking towards the building, fuming from the immaturity of the whole situation. How can Taehyung believe I care about someone else? And why did I have to mention Seojoon out of the blue? I'm even more immature than him.

"Jungkook! Wait!"

I hear him shouting behind me but I'm too mad to have a rational conversation so I keep walking faster, getting in the elevator and pressing the button a thousand times, praying the doors will close fast.

But as it always happens, they don't and Taehyung's hand stops the closing door, forcing it to open.

I avoid looking at him because his face will make me even angrier.

"What he hell was that?" he asks me shocked.

"You should ask yourself that when you go home and sleep alone," I'm pushing it and I know I shouldn't but there is no rationality left in me to control my words.

"Kook.. I do-"

"No! Don't 'Kook' me right now. I'm way too pissed off. How dare you think that I have some kind of interest in Mingyu?!"

The elevator is going up and I wish it didn't because I want to kick the door open and get out right this moment.

"Well have you seen how he is around you?"

"Oh my god!" thankfully the door opens and I get out, bumping Taehyung's shoulder, since he was blocking my way.

"Where are you going? I asked you something!" Taehyung does to grab my arm but I yank it away and open my door.

"I'm not going to answer it because you are irrational and acting like a child. And besides, I already told you, I was crying because of YOU!"

My door is finally open and I'm glad I will get into my safe space and gather my thoughts. I don't need my neighbours to know my boyfriend is a crazy ass jealous guy.
