Run (Kim Taehyung x Reader)

Chapter Five

It was early the next morning and Taehyung was curled up against my back. I had a terrible night sleeping. I could barely stay asleep and it was killing me both internally and externally. I laid awake all night afraid if he'll strike again, but he ended up never moving a single muscle. 

I walked into the living room, seeing Jungkook laying on the couch. The TV was on and he was watching a movie. I walk in closer and see that he was watching one of the "Resident Evil" movies. 

"Oh, you're awake." Jungkook says then I look down at him.

"Yeah, I've been up for a while." I agree then he sits up.

He pats the seat next to him and sit down next to him. I curl my legs up on my right side and lay my head on Jungkook's shoulder. He gave me a small smile as he pats my head.

"I can change the channel if you want me to." He tells me and I shake my head.

"No, it's fine. I'm not really watching it anyways." I deny as I start to slowly close my eyes. "I didn't sleep well last night, so I'm really tired right now." I mention then Jungkook hums in response.

"I think a lot of us had that problem last night. That's why I came down here, my brain just wouldn't shut off." He tells me then I sit up, nodding.

"It's probably because of processing everything that happened yesterday." I comment.

"Oh my God without a doubt. So much happened in such a short period of time." He agrees.

I then hear a scream from the TV, making me flinch. Jungkook starts laughing then he grabs the tv remote, changing the channel to Freeform, seeing "Pretty In Pink" was playing.

"Have you ever watched this movie?" Jungkook asks me then I shake my head. "You've never seen 'Pretty In Pink'?" He repeats then I shake my head again.

"Why? Is that bad?" I ask him then he nods.

"Uh, yeah." He answers then he points to the tv. "Molly Ringgold was the queen of 80's movies and this was one of the greatest movies back then with one of the most controversial endings. However, it was still really good because it shows how people with different economical backgrounds come together." He explains.

"How was the ending controversial?" I ask him.

"Molly's character, Andie, her best friend was in love with her and she chose the guy who was richer and made fun of her for the fact that she didn't have a lot of money." He answers then I shake my head.

"I can see how a lot of people might not like that." I agree then he nods.

"What would you do if that happened to you?" Jungkook asks me then I look at him. "Hypothetically, let's say both Taehyung and I had feelings for you and you had to choose one of us? Who would you choose?" He questions then I shrug.

"I'm not entirely sure." I answer. "I've known both of you for so long that I wouldn't know who to choose..." I mutter then I look at him.

He looks at me with such hope in his eyes as he bites his nails, never taking his eyes off of me. I press my lips together as I look down at my hands and start to fiddle with my thumbs.

"Yours aren't hypothetical, are they?" I ask him then he shakes his head. "I'm sorry, Jungkook, I don't feel the same way." I apologize then I stand up. "Excuse me..." I mumble as I walk away, tears brimming at the corners of my eyes.

I then sprint back up the stairs and into mine and Taehyung's room. He was sitting in a chair that faces the window as he hums to himself. I then close the door behind me, quietly, and Taehyung's eyes glance at me.
