Mask Off [kth x jjk] (COMPLETED)

Does He know?

As soon as Jungkook turns his back, he sees

Taeyong and his group....

Just my luck.... he muttered under his breath.

Jungkook ran as fast as he could to the stalls but Taeyong caught up shortly as Jungkook was about to shut the door. "Hold him properly and don't let him escape." Taeyong said. His friends, obeyed his commands and grabbed Jungkook harshly. Taeyong then smashed Jungkook into the mirror which caused the thin boy to cry from pain and bleed on his back. His scars reopening. I musn't let my voice out. Jungkook thought to himself. He held his screams in. When Taeyong had enough beating him up, he grabbed Jungkook's neck and said "beg me to stop dunking your head in the sink. Oh wait, you can't talk. Well too bad, I guess I won't stop then." Taeyong put Jungkook's head in a sink full of water. After a few minutes, Jungkook's vision started to blur. He wished Taehyung would save him from this misery.

Taehyung's POV

Where is Jungkook? He's taking too long... i better go check on him. I asked for Mr. Jung's permission and dashed out of the classroom. My heart was pounding when I heard muffled shuffling noises from the bathroom. I decided to hide behind the door and what I saw broke my heart into a billion pieces....

Taehyung's POV

It was Jungkook..... no, more like someone pushing Jungkook's head into a sink. Oh god........ the rage and sickness I felt controlled my body as I stormed inside the bathroom. Taeyong smirked "what's wrong Taehyung? Here to help this bunny boy?" He says. His tone makes me sick. Taeyong instantly fell backwards from my punches and I just kept punching him until a sound made me stop. I looked up and saw Jungkook slightly limping as he walked towards me.... he mouthed "thank you for saving me, Hyung." As tears started rolling down his cheek. How could I have not noticed that he was bullied? I already failed him. I failed to protect kookie. My Jungkookie... I engulfed him into a big hug right then. He silently cries and I was tearing up. I didn't even notice tears falling down from my cheeks until Jungkook wiped them away. He mouthed "why are you crying hyung?"
"Because, I failed to notice this and protect you mianhae Jungkookie, Mianhaeyeo....." I said and my voice cracked. I began bursting into tears. Suddenly, a pair of hands were wrapped around my waist. And what happened next really shocked me......

"Nan gwenchana, TaeTae hyung. Gomawoyo"
(I'm fine TaeTae hyung, thank you)

He spoke to me..................... he... he can speak..... HE CAN SPEAK!!!

My head kept replaying his voice. Oh god, his voice is so soft. Just like an angel. It's so soothing and calming yet the warmth is unmistakable. Jeon Jungkook...... why do I instantly calm down after you speak? What is this unspeakable emotion I'm feeling?.. I slowly hugged him back. Still mesmerized and amazed at what just occurred.

Jungkook's POV

It broke me to see Taehyung crying. Especially because of me... why was he crying for me? I had to calm him down somehow..... On instinct, I wrapped my arms around his waist and hugged him tight. I wasn't planning on using my voice but it came out. It came out because I couldn't bear to see Taehyung like this. I spoke my first full sentence in years.... Even I got surprised as I said " Nan gwenchana, TaeTae hyung. Gomawoyo." I instantly regretted saying it as Taehyung showed no reaction. I cursed at myself for being so stupid. Of course Taehyung would be dosgusted by my voice.... ugh....  I kept on thinking about it until I felt two large hands hugging my waist. Taehyung hugged me back....... I was beyond shocked but what he said afterwards, made my heart race. He said "Jungkookie, you have a beautiful and an angelic voice. Please, talk to me more. Please don't hide your voice away from me. I love hearing it." And I don't dare to hide it from Taehyung ever again from now on. Only one thought runs inside my head as we let go from the hug.....

Hyung, I bet you'd leave me when you see how many problems I have and when you see my face. I might as well enjoy your friendship while it lasts........

My good mood started drifting away from that thought as I made my way outside the school gates and It wasn't any good that my mom was home today.

Taehyung's POV

As I let go of Jungkook, one thought runs through my head....

Jungkookie, I will protect you and I will show you my love no matter what it takes.. I will always stay by your side and be here for you. I'd do anything to hear that voice again and see your face for the first time.

As I made my way outside the school gates, I saw Jungkook looking down again. He looks so fragile and precious. All I want to do is hug him. And with that, I went back home thinking about the bunny boy and his cute, beautiful voice.

Jungkook's POV

I'm home but all the lights were turned off. I was careful enough to not make any noise and went upstairs quietly. I sat on my bed thinking about what happened today but my thoughts were interrupted by a sudden crash. I check to see what it was and of course........... my mom would come back home drunk. She hasn't fed me the last 4 days... and I felt too weak to do anything because of what happened today. So instead, I decided to sleep outside in order to avoid her beating.

I stayed there for a little while and it started raining heavily. I was shivering so much to the point that I could literally freeze off. But nobody was here to help me. This is how I spent my night. Cold, alone, scared until I woke up the next morning. My stomach growled loudly for food but of course I got scraps from my mom. She only gave me one spoon of inedible porridge and I headed to school straight after. I saw Taehyung standing in front of the gate waiting for me and I approached him as quickly as possible. He looked at me and said "good morning Jungkookie!" And of course, I said good morning back since I could freely talk to him now and it feels so great to be able to use my voice again.

Skip to lunch time........

Taehyung's POV

I'll be eating lunch with Jungkook today! I thought to myself as I made my way to find a seat in the canteen. I finally settled on one spot and some girls started approaching my table.

"Hey Taehyung oppa! Wanna eat lunch with me here?" She says. I can totally sense her faking her voice just to sound cuter.

"No" I mumbled coldly. She heard and whined again saying "why Oppa? I love youuuu.." she replied back. I was getting so annoyed but as soon as I saw Jungkook walking towards me I grinned widely and I said to the girls "because i'm sitting with Jungkook today. And I don't love you. Heck, we never even talk." As those words left my mouth, she and her friends stood up to leave. I greeted Jungkook with a bright smile and told him to sit down. He did so shyly and I can't help but giggle at how cute he is. Even with a mask on, I could still see his gestures when he was talking and it was the cutest thing ever. His laughs would echo as I told jokes and he would also talk to me about how his day went. That is, until I notice he didn't have food.

Gosh i'm so dumb sometimes. I finally asked Jungkook "Kook, why aren't you eating?" And he replies, "oh i'm not hungry Taehyung hyung, please enjoy your lunch though!" He said and I wasn't going to accept that as an answer. So I stood up and bought him a set of Kimbap. When I came back to the table, Jungkook said "you sure do eat a lot hyung!" I laughed and smacked his shoulder playfully. "Yah! It's for you you pabo!" And upon hearing those words, he froze.....

"F-f-for m-m-me?" He stuttered. And it was the most adorable thing ever! His stutters are just... so... darn... cute.. I thought to myself. But why doesn't he want to eat?.... He politely declines my offer but I insisted that he eat the kimbap. He picked on the food instead and that has me worried. Does he not eat lunch a lot? Why isn't he eating it?.... and as more negative thoughts fill my head, I decided to ask him. "Hey Jungkook, why are you just picking at your food?" And he said "o-oh, i-i-i just d-don't f-f-feel l-like eating h-hyung." He sounded scared..... i took him by surprise when I took his chopsticks and fed him the kimbap because I could tell he flinched a little but I said "please eat a little for Hyungie Jungkookie....." and he relaxes again, finally obliged to it. He ate 2 kimbaps in total and that's when I really question if he ever eats on a daily basis and it worries me... a whole lot... is that why his waist is so tiny?... please be fine Jungkookie.... I thought to myself as lunch came to an end. I decided to not ask him yet since he looked a bit shaken when I talked about it. What is it that you're hiding from me Kookie?.....
