Jungkook p.o.v

"Taehyung! Come with me!" Jungkook is tugging on his friend's hand, trying to get him to leave the crowded room. Taehyung just stands there, staring at Jimin who is across of him. He's had his arms around Yoongi for about 4 minutes now, and it doesn't look like he's going to let go anytime soon. Jungkook puts more force into his actions and finally manages to drag Taehyung away from their friends.


He manoeuvres the both of them through the crowd, grabbing two cups filled with something that looks like beer on the way out. Once they're outside he forces the older boy to sit down. Jungkook follows and hands him the cup before slinging an arm around his shoulder. Taehyung sighs before downing the whole cup in one long swig.


"What does he expect me to do Kookie?" It's not really a question, and even if it would've been, Jungkook wouldn't have known the answer. "Don't worry Tae. For now, just sit here with me." The older relaxes into his embrace. They just sit there for a while, feeling warm from the alcohol with the bass of the music inside vibrating through their bodies.


Jungkook turns his head and looks at the other. Taehyung has his own head thrown back, watching as the stars slowly spin above them. He thinks he has never looked more beautiful than he does right now. It takes him a while to realise that Taehyung is looking back at him with a questioning look. "What?" Taehyung softly shakes his head. "I'm sorry, I thought you said something."
Did I just say that out loud? Jungkook fakes a smile and tightens his grip around the other. "Just that I'm really glad we're best friends." Taehyung seems satisfied with that answer and goes back to stargazing. Jungkook mentally slaps himself. Taehyung can't know you like him. He needs you, as a friend.


They sit in comfortable silence for a while before some movement catches the youngers eye. He looks in the direction of the shadows and sees two boys stumbling over the path that leads away from the house. "Tae, aren't that Jimin and Yoongi?" Taehyung quickly looks up and squints in the direction Jungkook is pointing at. He sees Jimin leaning heavily on Yoongi, both of them obviously drunk. "Yeah, it looks like it, why?" The younger boy hesitates before speaking again.


"With everything that has been going on lately, maybe you should follow them." Taehyung is quiet for a moment before he shoves Jungkook arm off of him. "Are you saying Jimin is cheating on me? That he would do such a thing?" Jungkook shakes his head quickly. "No, no Tae, I simply meant that maybe he isn't like you think he is." The older boy jumps up.


"I love him Jungkook, and I trust him more than anyone. Including you. I know he won't cheat on me because he loves me too. I don't need you telling me what to do and who to trust, so just leave me alone."


Jungkook just sits there, tears behind his eyes. How can he trust Jimin more than me? "I'll be leaving now. Goodbye Jungkook." With that he turns around on his heels, and then he is gone. Jungkook slowly stands up before making his way home. The party suddenly seems far less appealing than it had been 2 hours ago.

It's only one hour later that he's lying in his bed when he hears a loud knocking. He slowly walks down the stairs and opens the door. He is met with the sight of Taehyung, panting and tears staining his cheeks.

"Can't- I can't breath, Jung- Jungkook help, please." Jungkook quickly pulls him inside and slams the door shut. He brings the boy into the kitchen and sits him down at the dining table. Taehyung is scratching at his arms, eyes moving anxiously around the room.

"Taehyung, look at me." He does as he is asked. Jungkook gently grabs his hands and slowly strokes them. "Just breathe, in and out. Follow me." They sit there for 10 minutes before Taehyungs breathing has slowed and his body has stopped shaking. "Do you need water?" Taehyung shakes his head before launching himself at Jungkook.
He starts sobbing again and the younger carries him upstairs, laying him down in his bed before joining him.

"Wanna talk about it?" Taehyung nods slowly. He doesn't talk for another 5 minutes before he opens his mouth. "I caught them. Together, in Jimins bed." Jungkook pulls the older boy closer. He knew Jimin liked Yoongi, but he never would've guessed he would take it this far. "I'm-" He gets cut off by Taehyung.

"He was going to tell Yoongi he loves him. He is supposed to love me! Not Yoongi, he doesn't love him like I do." Tears are falling again. "Why won't anybody love me, why am I like this? Jungkook please,why won't anyone love me?" Jungkook kisses the top of his head. "Somebody loves you Taehyung, more than you can ever imagine."

They are quiet for a long time, the older boy drifting off to sleep, body and mind exhausted. Just before he falls asleep he mutters something under his breath, a question.


"Do you love me Kookie?"


Jungkook smiles. "Forever Taetae."
