"Taehyung, you need to leave,"
Taehyung stood up and slowly walked towards Hoseok, "But I missed you,"
Hoseok took a step back, "Well I didn't miss you. I'm not going to just be your toy again,"
Taehyung looked down at his feet and scratched the back of his head, "About that...I really didn't think it'd bother you that much. I thought that since you didn't like me it wouldn't be a big deal,"
"You thought it wouldn't be a big deal just because I didn't like you? I did like you, Taehyung. I really wanted to be your friend," Hoseok frowned.
"Look, I'm sorry and I really screwed up, okay? Can we just be friends again? I'll actually commit to the friendship this time,"
Hoseok stared at him for a second and sighed, "You've said that before. How do I know you're not lying again?"
"Do I look like I'm lying?" Taehyung tilted his head and stuck out his bottom lip.
"...I guess not," Hoseok pointed at him and poked his chest, "This is your last chance. You better not screw this up,"
Taehyung grinned and threw his arms around Hoseok, "Thank you!"
"Yeah, yeah. Hey...can I ask you something?" Hoseok pulled away from Taehyung's embrace and sat down on his bed.
"Sure,"
"So a few weeks ago when you said Jimin was cheating on me...Did you mean it?" Hoseok looked up at Taehyung and frowned, "because he's been spending a lot of time with Yoongi lately and that's all I think about now,"
Taehyung bit the inside of his cheek. He saw how happy Hoseok was while he's with Jimin, and it made him angry that Hoseok was completely oblivious to what was going on. But, he didn't want to ruin his happiness. Taehyung was conflicted. Maybe Yoongi was the one who made a move on Jimin and Jimin was just caught up in the moment.
He sighed and scratched the back of his head, "Uhm...No, no I didn't mean it. I just wanted to have an excuse to talk to you honestly,"
Hoseok nodded slowly and looked down at his lap, "I have mixed feelings about that. I'm angry that you lied to me, but I'm happy that I don't have to worry about Jimin cheating on me anymore," Hoseok looked at Taehyung and smiled, "Thanks for clearing that up for me,"
Taehyung nodded and looked around the room, then turned to Hoseok and raised and eyebrow, "Are you a neat freak or something?"
Hoseok laughed nervously and scratched his head, "Uhm...Not really, well...Kind of. I just like to know where my things are, that's all,"
"Well that makes sense. You don't have to be embarrassed about it," Taehyung laughed.
"Hey...I never got to ask, but what happened to your cheek?" He asked, pointing at his scar.
"I'd rather not talk about it..."
"C'mon, you can tell me. We're pals aren't we?" Taehyung looked at him and tilted his head.
"Well yeah...But I mean, I haven't even told Jimin yet. I just don't want to talk about it, ok-" Hoseok was cut off by the sound of glass smashing downstairs.
Taehyung looked at Hoseok with wide eyes, "What the hell was that?"
Hoseok shrugged, "It's just my parents," Hoseok stood up and walked over to his door, "We should probably go before it gets worse..."
Taehyung nodded and stood up, following Hoseok downstairs.
"Hoseok! Who the hell is that? You're not gay are you?!" His mom stumbled towards him.
Hoseok stopped in his tracks and sighed, "Mom you know I'm dating Jimin, now please go calm yourself, you're drunk,"
"Don't tell me what to do!" Within seconds, Hoseok felt a sharp sting across his cheek.
Taehyung watched with wide eyes, then grabbed Hoseok's wrist and drug him outside, "Hoseok, are you okay?"
Hoseok's eyes stung with unshed tears, "Yeah, I'm fine. Maybe you should just go home,"
Suddenly Hoseok was engulfed in a hug. Taehyung lifted his chin, forcing Hoseok to look at him, "I know you're not okay, and it's okay for you to admit that. You can cry if you need to. I won't judge you,"
With that, Hoseok let all of his unshed tears fall. Taehyung hugged him tighter and rubbed his back to soothe him, not caring that his shirt was now soaked with tears.
After what seemed like hours, Hoseok finally stopped crying and looked up at Taehyung, "Thank you..."
