Fallen For You (REWRITTEN)

10

Jungkook doesn't know if he should be pissed or amused at the older. After racing through the campus and asking everyone where was Taehyung's whereabouts, he finally found his house. The only problem was he couldn't enter since he had no key.

That just leaves Jungkook debating whether he should break into the house or call for help from the fish prince. He recalled Taehyung's sob and it gave him the sense of urgency to just break the glass window.

And that's what he did. He didn't care if the neighbours would alert the police of a break in, Jungkook just needed to know if Taehyung was okay.

Once he entered, he caught the stench of alcohol and followed the toxic smell that leads to a dark bedroom. The only light source was the broken lamp, the shattered glass scattered across the room, mixed with the alcohol bottles. The place was a mess, as though a hurricane occurred there. Jungkook heard a soft groan and saw some shuffling, hidden behind the bed. He headed towards it and saw Taehyung sprawled across the floor, unconscious.

Jungkook grabbed the older's shoulder, putting him in a sitting position before putting his arms around his waist, hoisting him up. He threw Taehyung on the bed when he heard the older whimpered, mumbling incoherent words.

Jungkook leaned closer to Taehyung so he could make up what the other was trying to say.

" D-dont l-leave me... not again.. N-never a-again..."

Jungkook huffed, " funny how I used to be the one saying that to you."

Annoyed, Jungkook tried to leave Taehyung but the other grabbed his right arm. Jungkook looked over his shoulders to see that Taehyung was still unconscious, meaning the other was dreaming.

Jungkook tried to escape the older's grasp, lifting each finger off of him but Taehyung was persistent. He kept his hold firm, not letting go of Jungkook and pulled him. Jungkook stumbled, surprised at Taehyung's action, and landed on top of him. Their lips brushed and he noticed Taehyung shuffling beneath him. Not wanting to give any wrong ideas if the older does wake up, he struggled out of Taehyung's hold.

Suddenly, a pair of red glassy eyes stared at Jungkook, half lidded as tears kept flowing.

" I'm s-so s-sorry.... Fo-forgive m-me p-please.... Its m-my fault.... I l-love y-you ... J-J-"

Taehyung's eyes rolled back and he lost conscious again. His grasp weakened and Jungkook shook the older's hands off.

Jungkook glanced at Taehyung's wrecked form and he burst out laughing. He couldn't believe what the other just confessed.

Anger, hatred, loneliness and betrayal made him mad. The past memories of him suffering drove him mad. The fact that Taehyung could just blurt out an apology after all those years of him suffering gave him a new meaning of mad. He was pushed beyond the boundaries of mad.

What's worse was that Jungkook felt a sense of sincerity coming from the older and he hated it.

The stored tears continued to flow and the sobs wracked his body, robbing it of the ability to speak – barely allowing a breath to be drawn.

Jungkook wanted to shout at Taehyung for all his past mistakes but what came out was something unexpected...

" I loved you too hyung.... And I still do...."

That was all he needed. An apology and Jungkook hated how easily he accepted it. The buried feelings he once, still, held took over him.

That was all Jungkook needed to forgive Kim Taehyung, for his sins, for driving the younger mad and turning him into a killing machine. Just one word, filled with sincerity. 

Jungkook traced his fingers along Taehyung's jaw, whispering into his ears.

" Will you remember what you just said? I hope you don't so I could continue to hate you. Im not ready to forgive you just yet".

And with that, Jungkook left.
