chapter 5

- taehyung -

“i will miss you honey..” my mom cooed as she embraced me.

“mom, i'm just gonna join college not gonna migrate!” i exclaimed pulling away from the hug.

“i know, i know! i just can't believe that you'll be leaving us. you've grown so much.. i can still remember the time when you started crying because i left you in your preschool and—” my mom dramatically told, looking at me with a concerned face.

“mom, stop it.” i whined trying not to remember my first day in preschool.

“it's okay, i can handle myself and besides.. you can always call me anyway.” i mumbled, sending a reassuring smile.

“excuse me mrs. kim and mr. kim but the car is already ready.” a voice spoke from behind us that made us stopped from our chat.

after a quick exchange of 'take care of yourself's' and 'i love you's' my mom decided to let me go.

finally! i mentally exclaimed.

jungkook was already on the car waiting for me when i got into the area, “sorry.. i took too long.” i apologized, hopping into the passenger's seat but he didn't even spare a glance at me before starting to drove off.

i reached for my earphones in my hoodie's pocket and decided to wear it since the i know, this journey will be so boring.

if you know what i mean.

after a couple of hours of driving i took off my earphones and placed them back from where i got them as jungkook decided to stop in a gas station and said, “sorry. i need to go to the bathroom just quick, you need to stay here while im gone.”

whatever. i mumbled under my breath as i sighed.

once i heard the car door closed and the sight jungkook getting far. i decided to step out of the car and walking towards the grocery near the gas station, my stomach was growling and craving for something.

humming, i search for some chips to eat in the store. throwing everything i see that seems to be delicious in the basket im carrying.

i looked at the products in my bucket, not even shocked that it was unhealthy ones. my dietitian would kill me if he knew this.

after finding everything that i think i would eat, i went in the cashier to pay for my foods.

tapping my feet against the music that's playing in my ears.

“it's 15, 000 won sir.” spoke the cashier while looking at taehyung boringly.

taehyung reached for the wallet on his pocket and payed the cashier, happily exiting the grocery store with bags of foods in his hands.

he was about to take his another step, when somebody grabbed him by the arm. he gasped at the tightness of the person's hand on his arm. the person then turned him around making tae face him.

“jungkook?! you scared the shit out of me! i thought i was about to get robbed!” taehyung gasped in disbelief.

“well princess, i've been searching for you for about 15— no, 16 minutes now. i thought you were in danger or something and the president would kill me for that! where did you go?” jungkook half-yelled, still holding taehyung’s arms, not caring about the fact that he just called taehyung ‘princess’.

taehyung winced at the pain, as jungkook's fingers digged into his arm. “i-i just went to the grocery to shop some food.” taehyung mumbled loud enough for jungkook to hear as he looked down at his shoes like it was the most interesting thing in the world as of the moment.

jungkook, then loosened his grip on taehyung's arms, before sighing.

taehyung was now relieved that jungkook has finally removed his hands off his arm, “never do that again.” he heard jungkook say, the next   thing he knew, jungkook was now holding his hand leading him into the car.

taehyung was startled by the intimate gesture but he disposed the idea at back of his head and got in, placing the cellophaned foods in his lap.

“you should've asked for me to do that.” jungkook said eyeing the groceries as he started the engine.

“you were out and i was hungry. i can't just go in the toilet and tell you "hey jungkook i need some snacks, can you get it for me." while you're peeing!” taehyung grambled, caressing his arms which has now jungkook's fingerprints on it.

“well it's my job” jungkook noticed what taehyung was doing and asked, “what happened to that?”

“your grip tightened on it really bad..” taehyung pouted looking at jungkook.

'i did that to taehyung? ' jungkook thought, mentally blaming himself for his sudden stupidity.

“sorry, i didn't mean to hurt you. i just got worried i guess. i'll never do it again just.. just don't tell your dad about it, it ma--”

“what? don't worry i won't tell him about this. it'll heal later anyways.” taehyung answered, opening a bag of chips, “want some?” he offered to jungkook.

“no thanks, i'd rather starve than kill us with a car crash.” he replied, eyes not leaving the road.

“mm, not so versatile then.. i'll feed you.” taehyung mumbled as he raised a chip infront of jungkook’s stoic face.

jungkook didn't know but, something bloomed inside him after taehyung said that.
