Roadtrip

Tae was making his bed ready when Mrs Jeon entered Jungkook's old room, that he slept in. "Hi, Mrs Jeon!" he smiled. Jungkook's mother sat down on the floor and patted next to her, showing Tae to join her. He did as he was told.

"Aren't you sad, Taehyung?" Mrs Jeon suddenly asked. Tae looked down on his hands. "I am. But I don't want to show. If I did, Kookie will be worried!" he mumbled.

"Did you tell him yet?" Tae shook his head. "I'll call him later and tell him then. I'll also leave Busan tomorrow. There is no reason to stay now. I'll drive to the hotel in the morning, when Suho is on the funeral and pick my stuff up. Then I'll rent a car and drive to the airport. Maybe I'll catch a last-minute-flight" he told but Mrs Jeon shook her head. "I'll drive you! That's less complicated!" she decided. "Thank you very much, Mrs Jeon!" Tae smiled softly. She smiled back.

"So, Taehyung!" she said and stretched out her legs. "What is this thing between you and Jungkook?" Tae's eyes widened. "What do you mean?" he said nervously. Mrs Jeon laughed. "Come on, Taehyung! You don't think, I was young as well? And I am not completely stupid!" She tapped on her head. "Since when do you like each other by now?" Tae blushed.

"I-I don't think that you understood that right, Mrs Jeon. Jungkook and I are only friends!" His hands became sweaty.

"Oh, please!" Jungkook's mother laughed. "I think I understood it better than you did, stupid!" She flicked his forehead. "He's all over you. And you like him as well!" Tae blushed more.

"Why does everybody think so?" Tae mumbled.

"Because it is obvious, silly!" she laughed. "Even a blind could see that!" "I-I don't think, he likes me. I r-really don't!" Tae stuttered. "I know him a few years by now!" Mrs Jeon joked. "And I can tell, that he really likes you. I guess he even likes you better than me, so don't hurt him!" Tae shyly looked at his hands. Mrs Jeon stood up with a sigh, but before leaving the room, she turned once more and said: "Don't put yourself through unnecessary pain, Taehyung! Sleep well!" Then she shut the door.

Tae, still in shook, slowly took out his phone. He dialed the first number of his favorites in the contact list and listened to the annoying toot of the phone until it cracked and Jungkook said: "Are you okay?"

"H-hey, Kookie!" Tae stuttered. "Y-yes, I'm fine. But...uhm...I guess Suho and I b-broke...broke up or s-something?" He tried his best to hold the tears back and just kept talking in hope that they won't roll down his cheeks this way. "Well, actually you can't say, that we broke up, because technically we weren't even a couple, so it's total shit, but he was so angry and yelled at me and I was afraid, so I told him, that I would stay here tonight and that made him even angrier and he was so mean and then I shouted back and he said that we shouldn't see each other anymore and then he hung up, but don't worry I am alright. I'll fly home tomorrow and forget about him and everything will be like befo-" He stopped to talking because his voice cracked under the sobbing.

"Roadtrip!" Jungkook suddenly said. "W-what?" Tae asked confused. "I said roadtrip. You don't fly home tomorrow. I'll come with the car and pick you up and we will do a roadtrip. Just the two of us. I bring your clothes!" "Bu-" "No. We will do that. Sleep well, TaeTae. I'll pick you up at 9. Be ready then!" "AM?!" "Yupp!" "But then you would have to stand up at 2am!" "Doesn't matter, we need the whole day!" "That is ridiculous, Kookie!" "See ya!" Jungkook grinned and hung up.

"You didn't tell him?" Jimin asked who stood in Jungkook's bedroom door. "It would ruin what we have, if he knew, that I heard it!" Jungkook explained. "But what is it, that you have, Jungkook?" Jimin questioned. Jungkook thought of it, then he threw himself on his bed and kicked with his legs.

"I don't knoooooow!" he whined. Jimin entered the room with a soft smile and sat down beside him. "I think what you have is something really nice!" "I just want to give it time." "Do that then! But I think it's important, that he knows, that you heard the conversation!" "He doesn't like me anyway!" Jungkook mumbled. Jimin laid down next to him and faced him. "I don't think, that he meant what he said to Suho. He just didn't want to lose him, you know?" Jungkook nodded. Jimin smiled at him and stood up. "I'll pack Tae's and yours stuff. You should sleep if you really want to be in Busan at nine." "Good night, Jiminie!" "Nighty!"
