Eyes

The walk to his room was one filled with darkness and the days that had followed were all filled with haziness. Taehyung had attempted to cheer him up but decided it'd be better to leave Jin alone for a while since he learned from past events that he needed time to build and organize his feelings.

Taehyung knew his little brother was in pain. He understood and that is the reason why he decided to respect Seokjin and his decision in not letting Jungkook know he had heard it all. More than anyone Taehyung understood how strong Seokjin truly was and he was ready to intervene if things got out of hand. For now Taehyung understood that this was an experience that Jin had to go through in order to grow.

Although Jin had been attacked by Jungkook's harsh words, he wasn't and wouldn't be able to confront Jungkook fearing of being an even bigger nuisance to the one he loves. But the more he thought about it, the more confused he became because was it really so bad in loving someone? Is it illegal or immoral? Did he really deserve this pain and treatment after loving someone unconditionally for over more than a year? Yet, the more he questioned and thought about it, the more he began to hate himself.

Hated himself for not realizing sooner of how Jungkook felt, when he prided himself in knowing and understanding the smallest things concerning him. Hated himself for being a nuisance to someone he loves. Hated himself for not being good enough to the person who he believed to have accepted anyone. Hated himself for being Kim Seokjin.

Seokjin was more than grateful that the incident with Jungkook had occured in a Friday and not a weekday. As it was much more advantageous for him as he was able to cry as much as he wanted without fearing of how he would look like the next day. Not only that but he was able to formulate a plan to avoid Jungkook. Which was pretty easy considering that they didn't have any classes together since Jungkook was year older. The only problem being after school when he would come over to Jin's house to hangout with Tae or play the drums-- Tae and Jungkook were in a band together along with Hoseok and they practiced in Jin's garage.

He was still trying to compete his plan on evading Jungkook when Namjoon approached him at their usual spot in the library during lunch.

"What's up buttercup?" he states as he pulls up a chair to sit next to Jin. By the time he looks up to stare at him he immediately understands that something is wrong and very wrong as he could not only tell by the bags under his eyes but also because at this very moment Namjoon would have found a chipmunk looking Seokjin trying to fit in as much food as he possibly can inside of him while trying to hide from the librarians that kicked him out of the library last time for eating; but the only thing he found was a blank and pale looking Seokjin staring back at him.

"What's wrong? Did you eat? Sleep? What time did you go to sleep? Was it Tae? Did he eat the last bagel again? Or was it Jungkook again?" Namjoon exclaimed as he went on full mom overdrive. Judging by Jin's silence Namjoon could tell that he had hit the mark and it was that brat's doing once again. And yes. Again. Jungkook had hurt Seokjin in various ways and Namjoon has had to the last straw with him and was ready to put the brat in his place by giving him a piece of his mind. "I'm right aren't I? Gosh if I ever find that fu-" Namjoon exclaimed as he got interrupted by the shush of the librarians.

As Seokjin apologized, Namjoon ran out of the library not hesitating to head straight towards the cafeteria to find Jungkook and confront him with a panicking Jin right behind him. Both boys were unaware of the pair of eyes that watched attentively as they walked out.
