Taehyung

Jungkook was out of campus for the morning so Taehyung walked to class alone. Classes went by as usual, uneventfully especially without Jungkook around. 'Ah I miss him already...' Taehyung thought to himself as he pouted. He wasn't clingy. It's just that before Jungkook came along, Taehyung was always feeling a little lonely at times. Yes, he had Jin and Namjoon as well as Jimin and Yoongi but he was still lonely. He wanted to have someone he could love and someone who would love him for everything that he is.

When he met Jungkook, he was surprised by how quickly he had fallen for the younger. Just by looking at him, Taehyung could feel his heart beating like crazy and every time Jungkook would say his name – Taehyung felt like it was music to his ears. His voice. His cute smile. The way he looked at Taehyung made him feel all nervous and he felt as though the butterflies in his stomach had reproduced, making more butterflies inside him. Taehyung felt lucky to have Jungkook and he knew for sure Jungkook felt the same way. Jungkook would always do things that confirmed this and Taehyung can't help but fall for him even more each time.

As Taehyung was about to make his way out of the building, someone pulled him into a dim-lit room taking him by surprise. He tried to make out who the person was until the person's voice confirmed his guess. "Hey, Tae..." "What do you want, Hoseok?" Taehyung's said Hoseok's name as though it was poison. Taehyung could see the other flinch slightly. "I just- I just wanted to talk..." "Well, I don't want to talk to you." the younger of the two said sternly before making his way towards the door. Hoseok blocked his way and was standing at a very close proximity to Taehyung. He was pushed away towards a table. Neither boys realized that Hoseok had accidentally pressed a certain red button on the microphone which was usually used to transmit news through every speaker in the building.

"What do you want from me?" Taehyung said sternly as he looked at the other with a piercing stare. Hoseok sighed before saying softly, "I want to apologize, Taehyung. I know that I don't deserve it but... I just have to. I want to apologize to you. What I did to you that night... it was unforgiveable. I'm sorry for cheating on you. I'm sorry for almost... raping you..." The orange haired boy looked down at his feet as he couldn't get himself to look at Taehyung. "I know... you hate me so much now and you have the right to. But I still want to tell you that I'm really sorry and if it's okay with you... we could maybe... be friends again?" Finally looking up, Hoseok saw that Taehyung's facial expression had softened.

Neither of them said anything for a while until it was Taehyung who had broken the silence, "I forgive you... but to be friends again... it might take time but I guess we could slowly work it out..." Hoseok's ear perked up at Taehyung's words and he made his way towards the boy, pulling him into a tight hug. Both of them were surprised at Hoseok's actions as he pulled away, "I'm sorry. I just got excited. But thank you, Taehyung. This really means a lot to me." "Don't mention it. I'm just glad I can now put the past behind me..." That's what he thought of course.

When they left the room, they saw students crowding outside the door. Taehyung looked at the students then asked, "What are you guys doing?" A girl spoke up, "Is it true? You nearly got raped...?" her voice trailing as she said the last word. Taehyung was shocked to say the least as he looked at Hoseok who also had a shocked expression on his face. "How'd you guys...?" "We heard... through the speakers." A guy Taehyung recognize answered this time, Baekhyun was it? With that, both Taehyung and Hoseok turned to the room they had been in and the red light was clear to their eyes as the rest of the room was dark. "T-tae..." "You! You did this on purpose didn't you?! I knew I shouldn't have trusted you!" was all Taehyung said before running through the crowd with Hoseok right behind him. "Taetae?" Jungkook's voice was heard as Taehyung ran past him...

Jungkook

Jungkook was back on campus about 30 minutes after Taehyung's last class had ended so he was making his way to Taehyung's faculty building, hoping his boyfriend was still around so they could walk back to their dorms together. This was something they always did, every day without fail. Well except this morning because Jungkook's photography class was held outside for the students to do their end of the semester project. As soon as he reached the entrance of the building, he saw Taehyung running past him, not noticing his presence.

"Taetae?" he blurted. He looked back to the hallway and saw Hoseok running in the same direction as Taehyung. "What are you doing?" Jungkook stopped him, his hands gripping the other's collar. "T-taehyung... he-" "What did you do to him?!" Jungkook was really angry now but before Hoseok could even answer, Jungkook's fist had connected with his cheek and he fell back on the ground. "Stay away from him." the brunette warned before running out to look for Taehyung. 'Don't do anything stupid, Tae...'
