taehyung was never good at relationships.
the one true one he had was broken because he couldn't save the other. taehyung never blamed himself because that's exactly what hoseok told him to not to. there were days taehyung crawled into his bed and cried. but there were days where he would look at all the pictures and cry tears of joy that he had the privilege of even meeting that sunshine of a man.
hoseok had his reasons for leaving. he didn't want anyone to feel like it was because of something they did. he only want them to know that he felt that it was the right time to leave.
taehyung's first few months after the incident was filled with jimin coming over and holding him as he stuffed brownies into his mouth, sobbing. other days he would lock his door and not eat anything till his stomach turned and twisted.
taehyung had come to place where he had accepted the fact that he was gone.
but taehyung couldn't come to terms with the fact that his stupid crush for his fucking enemy was coming back. taehyung didn't know when it happened.
but when he did realise that it wasn't normal to be this annoyed and fucked up in the mind because of an enemy, it struck him.
and when feelings strike taehyung, it doesn't end well.
"are you okay, taehyung?" the sheriff asked, concern lacing his voice.
"fine. just annoyed." taehyung cleared his throat because he had just yelled.
jungkook was still a little taken aback. he didn't utter a word when the sheriff said bye. he didn't utter a word when the door closed, and he didn't utter a word when he heard taehyung sneezing.
"least you could say was bless you." taehyung teased as a joke.
"oh. bless you." jungkook said and walked to his room, leaving taehyung very flustered.
----
"no, listen to me!!" jungkook heard taehyung's voice and his ears perked up to listen to taehyung as he spoke to someone over the phone.
"jimin! listen!" he heard taehyung hiss out. he sat up on his bed, and got up slowly, walking to the corridor. jungkook put his hands into his hoodie's pocket and listened, leaning against the wall as he watched taehyung speaking.
it was always a wonder how kim taehyung made everything look twice as beautiful. jungkook smiled to himself as he looked at taehyung but it dropped when he heard taehyung say,
"jimin, he can't know about it. you know he already hates me. if he finds out I have a little crush on him, he's going to just take advantage of it and humiliate me in front of every damn person at school!"
jungkook looked down.
had he really fucked up taehyung that much for him to utter those heart shattering words? had jungkook really messed it up this much?
he listened once again as the older spoke.
"it's no use trying to be a friend to him, jimin. he despises me. but yes, im sorry I beat him up when I wasn't myself. I'll take my meds from now on, don't worry chim."
there was a deadly silence as the sound of a faint, distorted voice was heard. once again, taehyung spoke up.
"yeah okay. I won't fight him back even if he beats me up and hurts me. im just scared chim. I don't want this to become bigger than just a small crush."
jungkook had had enough and he went back to his room, making sure to not make a single noise.
his cheek hit the pillow and he fell asleep thinking about ways to let taehyung know that he wanted to be a friend to the older too.
