Awake (A BTS Fanfiction)

Chapter 15: The Tree

Jin's POV:

I knew that Jungkook was in deep POOP. Cursing is bad so...

But anyway, I felt bad for him. I didn't know if I should take the fall or not.

I was the mother figure...I'd do anything for these guys. Interrupting the other members talking, I began to speak "Come on g-" "I know where he's talking about." Jungkook spoke up.

I shook my head. I looked at Jungkook and he stared straight back. I gave him a look. A "You don't have to do this." Look.

He smiled weakly and walked across the street. I could see Taehyung's hair sticking out. He was hiding...hiding in the same spot he was in when Jungkook shot the man.

I remember that day. I remember it all. It wasn't Taehyung's fault. He hid behind that tree because he was scared of the gunshot.

I was there. Jungkook shot the man because he was scared that he would get caught. Because my phone went off...

I was just taking a walk which I assume Taehyung was doing the same. I saw Jungkook late at night wondering what he was doing.

Taehyung was walking past that night and heard the gun go off so he hid behind a tree. The tree we all met at when we were younger.

Jungkook turned around. Not seeing me but seeing Taehyung. As a scared 15 year old boy, he gave Taehyung the gun and ran.

We all followed. It must be my fault just as much as it was his right? Taehyung stood patiently.

Jungkook's POV:

It was time. Time to finally confess. Its been over two years. Two years too long.

My palms were sweaty as we I finally stepped in front of the tree. Taehyung stared me down.

I could feel the entire scene replaying.

He wanted to expose me. I know he did. He had every right to.

He was innocent.

Suga's POV:

Jungkook stopped in front of a tree. I remembered that tree. I then noticed Taehyung who slowly came from behind the tree.

He blankly stared at Jungkook. I was very confused and I'm sure that the other members were too.

For some reason, Jin acted as if he couldn't bare to look up. As if something was bothering him. Maybe I was looking into it too much though.

I walked up and hugged Taehyung and so did the other members.

I did miss him.

He looked surprised for some reason. I just wanted to know why he was here. "Taehyung...why?" Was all that I could get out.

He sighed and worriedly looked at Jungkook.

Taehyung's POV:

I wanted to expose Jungkook. I wanted him to pay.

So why am I suddenly feeling guilty?

Why do I feel uneasy? As if I shouldn't have done this? As if I should deal with it and move on?

Should I say for Jin since I wanted them to make memories also?

Shouldn't I tell the truth? I looked at Jungkook worriedly. His head was down.

Would I regret telling the truth?

Just do it V. Come on, he deserves it. He sent you to juvie. Remember? Two years wasted.

I shook my head and bit my lip.

I can't. I guess I still care.

Yes you can! During those two years, you could've been Chandlers boyfriend! You could've built up your career! You could've let Jungkook learn his lesson! You're INNOCENT KIM TAEHYUNG!

I just wanted my inner thoughts to shut up.

I pulled out his phone and started typing. "I can explain." Jungkook interrupted loudly.

I shook my head no.

I typed out what I had to say. "You don't have to do this okay? It already happened. You didn't know what to do, you were struggling at the time and none of us including myself asked if you were okay. You don't have to."

Ignoring me, he continued on.

"Two years back, when I was 15, I was in a gang. I needed the money. My parents kicked me out at 14 and they always treated me like crap. They said that I was a mistake. They wanted a girl. Not a boy. They'd abuse me everyday because of that and that's why you guys would always stare at my scars, you just never asked or bothered to know. That doesn't matter now though. I had somewhat of an easy job compared to the rest. Spying on other leaders and the members in their gang. When you guys asked me if I wanted to move in, I didn't let go of the job. I was stupid. I could only think that the job was too easy to let go of and I was getting good money for it. I was spying on the Red Spider gang leader. I was hiding behind the abandoned building but I stuck out enough to peep. I heard a phone go off and I guess it was Taehyung's. He happened to be walking by. The leader turned around trying to find where the noise came from but only spotted me...so I shot him. I killed him...and I spotted Taehyung. I saw another figure behind him which was really creepy because it disappeared after only a few seconds." I stopped and took a breath.

I didn't even know that I was crying.

"I put the gun in Taehyung's hand as I manipulated him. I was scared. Really scared. That's not an excuse though. He was scared as well. He wouldn't even move. He must've been traumatized. I ruined his life and now he won't talk. That's why he hates me. I love him a lot, I was too stupid to realize that thing like this can happened."

In less than a second, my cheek stung.

She slapped me.

She had tears in her eyes. "YOU DID THIS?! AND I WAS SO DISGUSTING TOWARDS TAEHYUNG AND I THOUGHT THE WORST OF HIM FOR SO LONG! BECAUSE OF YOU JUNGKOOK! I WAS HOLDING THE HAND OF A MURDERER! MAYBE YOU ARE A MISTAKE!!!" She yelled as she stomped away.

I've been called a mistake my entire life, but it really hurt from her. Tears wouldn't stop running down my face.

I didn't make a sound. The second I looked back up from getting smacked, an angry, disgusted Suga was looking into my eyes with his fists clenched.

Suga's POV:

I could never forgive Jungkook for this. Ever. I could feel my blood boil.

I walked up to him and got in his face. I stared at with hatred in my eyes. I just wanted to yell, scream. Hit him.

My fists clenched. I couldn't handle m anger. He was backed up against the tree.

"You disgusting freaking mistake." I spat. I felt my fist raise.

From my side, I heard a phone say "Don't do it! I don't want anyone to get hurt! I just wanted to prove that I'm innocent! Please Suga, hitting him won't solve anything!"

I ignored him and swung.

Hard.

I heard a thud.

But it wasn't Jungkook I hit...it was Taehyung.
