Breath of the Sea

Chapter 9

Jungkook P.O.V.

"Jungkook?" Taehyung's confused voice replied

"Ahaha yeah ...I never got your number and I haven't heard from you, or the others in a few days ...I just wanted to see if you're okay. I know what happened was my fault and I should've been there for you and I made a stupid decision I-"

"Jungkookie, I'm okay." Taehyung says

I smile at him calling me Jungkookie

"I really am sorry about what happened the other night" I say frowning

Yoongi walks into the room with an eyebrow raised

I cover the mouthpiece of the phone "I'm apologizing to Taehyung"

Yoongi nods and leaves the room

"Jungkook?" Tae asks

"N-Nae?" I reply

"I hope you know that what happened wasn't your fault." Taehyung says seriously

"I believe it was, I made stupid decisions early on in high school to become the popular and you got hurt because of it" I say sadly

I hear a slight giggle on the other end of the line "Jungkook ....it sounds like you actually care about me"

"I do care about you Taehyung" I say, without thinking

I hear a slight gasp and I panic slightly

"Tae? Tae? Are you alright?" I ask frantically

"Jungkook, I'm fine ...I was just... surprised is all" Taehyung says laughing

"Oh... Okay" I say smiling

"Did you want to meet up somewhere? It might be better than talking on the phone ...my parents keep looking at me" Taehyung asks nervously

I glance at my watch and realize it's 3:00, school would probably be getting out now

"Sure, but school is getting out now so where would you want to go?" I ask curiously

"W-We could go to the ice cream shop ...not many people from school still go there" Taehyung says shyly

I smile at his reaction and agree quickly, and talk to him for a while longer before we hang up

"Yoongles!" I call out to him not knowing where he is

He walks into the room slightly annoyed "Why must you call me that? I don't even understand the nickname"

I roll my eyes "I'm going to the ice cream shop with Tae in about half an hour"

"Finally gonna accept yourself and go for him huh?" He says smirking

"I-I don't know what you mean" I say looking down

"Oh please, I came home right as Jisoo came storming out of the house and yelled about how you refused to have sex with her. I saw how you reacted when you found out Taehyung was in the hospital. Plus you stayed home from school today, just because Taehyung was in the hospital. Just admit it to yourself already...you like him" Yoongi says 

Do I actually? I mean I did feel really upset that Taehyung was hurt. I did mentally call him beautiful and an angel.....I still think he's a gorgeous human being.... And I did stop everything with Jisoo when I remembered it wasn't Taehyung underneath me.....well fuck....I guess I really do like him

Wait, does Taehyung know? Does he know I know that he likes me? Oh god what if he hates me now, I know he said he's not upset with me but sometimes people just say things to make others feel better
