HYUNG, YOU'RE BAD [YM]

JANITOR'S CLOSET

Jungkook staggered like a zombie, aimlessly walking to his locker because it was his usual routine. He hadn't slept this week at all and his class mates had sent him homework home, since Jungkook had spent the whole week at home, not even daring to turn on his phone. In fact, he seemed to have forgotten to bring his phone today. His hyungs had of course, tried to meet him at his house, but he wasn't there at all. He had been at his parents house for the week. They didn't question him when he said it was because he was heart sick. So he had stayed. And Jungkook loved his parents for not prodding him on for details, it meant a lot to him. Yesterday night, he had come back home and had a hasty shower and a equally hasty dinner and slept. He now ran a hand through his messy hair.

He had been at home for a certain reason.

Avoiding someone.

Because he had confessed.

Not for theft or murder.

For love.

Or, scratch that, Obsession.

He vaguely remembered his locker combination and somehow or other managed to open his locker without any trouble.

He had a good reason for avoiding that certain someone.

Jungkook had liked Taehyung for the past eight months or so. Those lips, those eyes, that gentle smile had drawn him in and he had seen no exit. It was so confusing to act just a friend around Kim Taehyung. But somehow, he had managed it unto the point that keeping it was so painful. He had to get it out. He couldn't keep it in longer.

So he'd relied on Jin hyung, who'd told him at once to confess. Be honest and confess.

So had Yoongi hyung and even, surprisingly, Jimin hyung.

So taking the advice, he had.

He'd been honest, blushing and stuttering.

And had his hopes shattered when Taehyung gave him a small smile and told that he would, "think about it"

But that was it, right?

Taehyung had nothing to 'think' about. He didn't like Jungkook and that was it.

By the look of it, Jungkook had probably damaged their friendship for life. The thought put a big lump in his throat.

"Jungkook!" The maknae turned around to meet his oldest hyun in a bone crushing hug. "oh my god, you silly little idiot! where the heck where you?"

Jungkook looked shell shocked when Hoseok hyung decided to join in the hug as well, earning weird glances for students in the hallway.

"do you know how much we were worried? Your phone wasn't even on!" namjoon glared at the younger, though his eyes showed relief.

"yeah, you just suddenly disappeared with no clue! For a whole damn week too!" Young added, huffing angrily, smiling though.

Jungkook was really touched at how teary his hyungs were acting, he was honestly, but he was looking for someone his neck craning automatically. But he wasn't here. Jungkook's eyes teared up.

"Taehyung was out of his mind worrying" Jin casually informed, getting the fact that Jungkook was distracted. "he was so worried. And he also got sick going off his rocket for you"

"where...is he?" Jungkook's voice broke.

"he wants to meet you" Hoseok grinned cheerily. "privately"

Jungkook was fearing this meeting. So this was where Taehyung was going to break his heart, wasn't it? He couldn't bear the thought. He wanted to sob his heart out. But he took it bravely and smiled a watery smile.

"where?" he asked.

"janitor's closet" Namjoon replied, a smile coming to his face. "he also said it was ASAP"

"okay" Jungkook hung his head. "I- thanks hyungs..."

He walked forward, trying not to cry.

Jungkook you are not a baby.

After much roaming, he found the janitor's closet. He paused and took a deep breath. Then put his fingers on the handle and opened the door slowly.

"hyung?..." he asked in a small voice after he had closed the door behind him.

He found Taehyung turning his back to him, which scared him even more.

Then, without a warning, he looked at Jungkook with a a look that mainly was built from anger. Raw, pure anger.

"Jeon Jungkook" He breathed. "do you have any idea of how fucking worried I was?"

Jungkook shrank back against the door. "I uhhh....." he faltered as he looked in to the blazing eyes of the older. He'd never seen him so angry. Jungkook's knees began to shake.

"do you have any idea of how much I fretted? How much I was crying over you?"

Jungkook didn't dare answer, but this wasn't exactly the let down he was hoping. This made him feel guilt and shame at what he had done.

"do you even care for the fact that we were out of our minds? I was out of my mind! Did you even care? huh? Did you even care about what this would do to me?" Taehyung screamed, his deep was making Jungkook even more scared than he was.

"h-hyung I-"

"Gods, Jungkook, you said you liked me, but was that all lies?" Frustration filled the older's voice as he glared at Jungkook.

"or was it..." Taehyung's voice lowered in a heart broken tone. "all a big joke?" he whispered.

Jungkook blinked.

"hyung, I wasn't lying! I do like you... but-"

"but what?" Taehyung growled. "but what?!"

"y-you said that you'll think about it! and that meant you were going to reject me!" Jungkook explained, his voice high pitched.

Taehyung massaged his temples and groaned. "Jungkook, I wasn't lying. You were confusing me. You never even once showed once that you liked me, even by accident. And we had exams this week which I'm pretty sure I failed because of you"

"b-but you could have said...yes or...no" Jungkook whispered. "I thought you didn't... like me"

His heart was beating painfully. This was it. The part where Taehyung would say that he was going to reject him.

"Kookie, I wanted to wait. I wasn't sure if this was a spur of the moment thing or something else. I was thinking, Jungkook, I honestly was" he took a deep breath. "and then I came to an answer"

Jungkook's eyes widened in fear.

"w-what?"

Taehyung in response shifted closer to Jungkook and wrapped his arms around the younger's waist. Jungkook's cheeks heated up.

"I decided..." Taehyung's face inched closer to Jungkook's. "that I do want you. More than I had realized, actually." he smiled softly.

"I love you, Jungkook"

Their lips met in an endearing motion, passionately, reassuring Jungkook to close his eyes and melt into the warm embrace he never wanted to let go of.
