I Need U ~A Taekook Fanfiction

Chapter 11

"Alright, the Ramen is done, get in here before I eat it all." Jin jokingly announced.

The music that the others were dancing to in the gathering space suddenly came to a stop. They all headed over to the kitchen to serve themselves.

"Someone tell me why the hell Ramen is so good?" Yoongi asked, shoving it in his mouth at a fast rate. 

"Correction, someone tell me why the hell my Ramen is so good." Jin said, flashing a boastful grin. Yoongi stared at him for a solid five seconds before responding. 

"It's Ramen out of the box you idiot." He replied, still continuing to eat. 

"Suga Hyung there's no need to be so bitter all the time. We all know you have a soft side. Remember last week when you told me you loved me?" Jimin asked, leaning closer to Yoongi and flashing him a flirtatious wink. 

"AY! I said we don't speak of that. It happened it's over, now let's move on with our lives now." Yoongi said, his cheeks turning red at the memory of that incident. 

With no specific reason behind it, Jungkook got a depression wave. He got up and put his bowl of unfinished Ramen in the sink. His thoughts took hold once again and he felt that painful sadness hit him once more. He gave Jimin, who sat up straighter in concern, an 'it's ok, you don't need to follow me' look before heading out. He went outside and sat on the porch, staring at the misty grey sky. The weather matched his mood perfectly.

[Taehyung] 

Taehyung gripped the sides of JK's huge black desk chair for support to help him get up. He felt like he couldn't move, his breathing shortened with every inhale, and his heart felt like it was about to beat out of his chest. He needed to see Jungkook, and he needed to see him now. Once he finally made it up out of the chair, he shoved JK's diary up his shirt and went out to the gathering space, hoping to find him there. To his surprise, he wasn't there. 

"Where's Jungkook?" Tae asked in an urgent tone. "I need to see him right now." 

"He went out front...are you alright dude? It looks like you saw a fricken ghost." Namjoon replied. 

"He went out front? Thanks." Tae said, completely ignoring Joon's question. 

"What the hell is his problem?" Yoongi asked, still shoving chopstick fulls of Ramen down his throat. 

Jimin looked down, closed his eyes, and put his hands in a praying position over his face. If Tae saw what he think he saw...oh god no.

[Out front]

JK was lost in thought, eyes closed and all, when he was interrupted by the sound of the front door being violently swung open. 

He turned around and saw Taehyung before him. His mouth kept opening and closing, but no words came out. 

Taehyung pulled the diary out from under his shirt and held it out in front of JK as if signaling him to take it. Jungkook's eyes widened and he started letting out really fast and short, panicky breaths. They were so audible, he was sure the others inside could hear him. He had completely forgotten about the diary. He swore he was going to burn it, but he ended up forgetting all about it. He felt as if he might pass out. He started feeling dizzy and all the moisture in his mouth completely disappeared. This wasn't and couldn't be real. Everything would be ruined forever now. Their friendship, the group as a whole, everything. He clenched his fists and prepared for the worst. For the yelling, for the humiliation, for the diary to be thrown at his face, for anything and everything. He looked down, still panic breathing, wishing the ground would just open up and swallow him whole right where he sat. 

"I....I feel the same." Taehyung simply said.
