Saturday, he locked himself up in his room. He tried working on his film, but every time a clip of Jungkook would show up , he would snap his laptop down. He didn't know why he was acting that crazy. After maybe several times of snapping the laptop down, trust me the laptop did show a possibility of a major malfunction or a breakdown and Taehyung obviously didn't want to be responsible, he decided to cut off the work, and take a nap. And well Saturday went just by. He checked his phone several times too, but he refused to accept that he was desperate for at least a small conversation, let alone an apology, from the latter. Once or twice, he'd throw his butts off of his bed thinking that the ringing on his phone was from a notification from Jungkook. But every time he found that it was just Jimin and Hoseok being extra concerned, he would shut his phone off. Well he didn't want to deal with his friends, he didn't know what kind of  excuse he'd come up with, for his crazy abnormal behavior, he still doesn't know why he is acting this crazy. 

And Sunday he had work. And that was the reason why he was currently working on the small burger shop by the mall. It was busy as always. Weekends, and everybody likes to go out and shop a bunch!. Privileges of a rich child again! Well at least thanks to that, he gets to make an awful lot of money. And today was no exception too. He had handful of customers to serve to and he had earned maybe a grand more. And he was happy, satisfied even, not only did today's work benefit him with money but also made him busy enough to forget about all of the current happenings in his life. And now he was smiling from ear to ear, packing his bags happily while humming to one of his recent most favorite Bruno Mars' song. He got so carried away in the song that he didn't realize a certain someone at the counter, goofily smiling at him. And when he did realise his presence, well what do you expect, he dropped his bag and his precious phone in utter fright. Well hell why would anyone keep a watch at someone so silently, and even with that devious grin.
Taehyung was embarrassed and angry too. The thing that he took 2 long days to forget, and maybe could not even forget till now, it riled back up and once again the strong feeling of hurt, betrayal and anger dominated all of his emotions. thank you Jungkook.

But he was mature. He would never be stupid enough to make decisions almost too suddenly without even thinking properly. And that's what made him different from Jungkook. Jungkook would act too rapidly, wouldn't think about all the conditions that could arise after his one decision, and maybe that was why the younger would make too many mistakes all the time. Taehyung knew that. With spending almost all of his time with the said boy, he knew of Jungkook's habit, and he knew after every time he made a mistake, he'd take too long to realise it, and with guilt on his face, would come to ask for an apology.

"Shit! I dropped my phone!"

"You should've seen your face.. That was priceless! I should've taken a photo!"

"Well Duh! I was scared. And what kind of person would ever so slyly smile at someone like that! Your crazy!" Taehyung said while picking up his phone. Silence filled the air, and Taehyung could feel the atmosphere getting tense, but he didn't make any sorts of attempt on easing the atmosphere too. 

"Jungkook I know why you are here okay!"

"Oh you do? I was just craving some good old burger with fries! Could you make one for me!"

Okay what! That arrogant piece of sassball! Darn it! I was thinking!

"Don't think too much sweetie!"

Oh my god! I will really kill him someday!

"What? I said I want a burger! Do you , every time, disrespect your customers like that?" Jungkook said nonchalantly. And well did that not piss Taehyung off! 

"The shop's already closed." Taehyung said and made an attempt on leaving the shop.

"Oh come on! I am hungry!" Jungkook could just not let him go now could he?

"Jungkook please! Leave the way!" Taehyung was beyond annoyed now. Jungkook was being such a pain in the ass, or was it that Taehyung had wanted something else from him. Well, two minutes (of attempting on escaping Jungkook) after he finally escaped. But well, not so easy. 

Hands gripped his wrist securely, and he was hauled in his position. 

Taehyung didn't say anything, didn't even make any attempts too. "Taehyung!"

He still couldn't form any words. 

"I am sorry!"

His lips were dead sealed.

"Look I know I shouldn't have ignored you that day. I am sorry. I so am!"

Jungkook's hands still gripped Taehyung's firmly, refusing to let go. Both of the boys were now silent, one willing to but not knowing how to speak and the other desperate to hear any sort of reply from the latter.

"Speak something!" Jungkook said ever so silently, if it weren't for the close proximity that they were in, Taehyung wouldn't have heard his sound.

"Why?" Taehyung's voice also was really hushed, as if it was some competition of who'd speak more low. 

"Why why Taehyung?" 

"Why would you do that yesterday and after having done that why would you come back to apologize again? Why wouldn't you continue your sass, and just pay no heed to everything. The film needs you, you do not need the film!"

Taehyung said, finally letting out all of his frustrations. Honestly, he still doesn't know why he was so frustrated, but after taking all of it out, he feels somewhat relieved. But not too long after, he immediately regrets saying all those things, because then Jungkook drops his hands from the grip and solemnly replies;

"I don't know"

Taehyung feels sad on looking at Jungkook now. Jungkook was standing still, his body stiff, hands grip tightening every second. Was Jungkook really sorry? Because it really looked like that, and Taehyung couldn't help but believe it. 

"I don't know." His voice was still as low as ever. "I'm sorry!"

"It's okay!" Taehyung said. Well maybe he was foolish to hold grudges on someone for such small reasons, and he has never done it before but why now, why was everything with Jungkook an exception. 

"It's okay?" 

"Yes it is!"

"It is?" Jungkook said, ever so excitedly, gone was the gloomy, sad and on the verge of tears boy. How? Taehyung doesn't know! 

"You dork" he couldn't help but let a smile form on his face, and trust me was it not a beautiful smile, like the ones people with migraine let out after going through all the vicious combat and headaches, the one which spoke complete euphoria. And why wouldn't he be, after two days and more of spending a day with sullen mood, he finally was happy. But why was he so happy? Never mind, he was just happy is all! And then,

"I'm hungry! Wanna come to my place?" Jungkook said.

Well, why not!
