Thirty Three (Flashback)

"Well, there is one more."

-----////-\\\\-----

Jungkook and Yoongi walk out into what's supposed to be a room, but it looks more like they're right in front of the Milky Way. Yoongi, who's always secretly been fond of outer space, found it absolutely mesmerizing. "Wow, what is this place? This guy must be rich. Who the fuck were you dating?" He asked, looking around, but not touching the stars. He was afraid that if he'd touch them, they'd all fade away. Like a dream coming to an end. Jungkook cleared his throat, and started.

"Back in tenth grade, I had a crush on this guy-"

"Hey Mansoo, did you maybe want to go grab a coffee or watch a movie with me sometime?" Mansoo just chucked. "I'm not gay, Jungkook. Now get lost before I have to punch it through your thick skull."

"But I couldn't just give up. I'd had a crush on him for so long that I just had to see through it. Even though it might've put me through pain sometimes, I was destined to have at least one date with him-"

"Hey Mansoo, would you-" Mansoo pushed Jungkook into his locker, and looked him right in the eyes. He brought his lips over to his ear, and said "Tonight. My place. 10pm. Sharp." And with that, he left to go to his third class of the day.

"I was half excited, half terrified. I still remembered what he said the day before about getting it through my thick skull, I didn't know what he was gonna do to me. But, my stupid younger self was so hopeful and naive, that I didn't see I was just a little toy-"

Jungkook got to Mansoo's house, just before ten. He couldn't believe it when he got a text from his crush containing his adress. He was so exited he started dancing around like a fool would do right before something goes wrong. He headed over to the front door, and knocked. He didn't know if he was supposed to knock or ring the door bell, but he figured that if he didn't want his parents to know Jungkook was supposed to come over, that he'd be better to knock. The door opened, and he was greeted by Mansoo's parents sitting at the dinner table, and a handsome Mansoo in a surprisingly sophisticated suit.

"Turns out, he invited me to a dinner with his parents. Apparently he's talked about me so much, his parents were wondering when they'd be able to meet me. I couldn't believe my ears. My crush, Mansoo, actually liked me back. I had wondered what was with the rejecting and the pushing around at school when I'd bring up a date, and he just told me it was because he's never liked a guy before. Stupid me believed it, because I'd found out some time later that he'd had a bunch of boyfriends. All good looking. All toys. But he promised me that with us, it was different. Even though all we did was fool around and him making me feel like shit. He even sometimes went too far, and hurt me. I knew I had to get out, I just didn't know how. Everytime I'd promise myself to bring it up, he'd make me feel so loved, so special, so.. guilty I just couldn't bare to do it-"

"Mansoo, I've got to tell you something." Jungkook walked over to the couch where Mansoo was sitting. He sat down in the chair across from Mansoo, and looked him straight in the eyes. "Me too." Said Mansoo enthusiastically. He got up and handed Jungkook two tickets. He was a little confused. They never talked about going on a trip or anything. "W-what are these?" He examined the tickets, and saw the words Disney Land on them. He looked up with a half hearted smile. "We're going to Disney Land!" Said Mansoo, a huge smile on his mouth. Jungkook stood up and hugged him. A tear fell down his cheek. 'He's so sweet,' Jungkook thought. 'I can't possibly leave him. He wiped his tear quickly before pulling away. Mansoo kissed Jungkook and went to take a shower. He just sat there, alone in his shared livingroom. Wondering how the hell could he get out of this relationship. He looked down at his right arm, the one with a bruise from last night. He got it from Mansoo.

"We went to Disney Land and had the time of our lives. And I thought hard about our relationship. I figured out there was a cycle. We'd have fun, he'd hurt me, then when I try to leave he'd make me feel guilty by buying me an extravagant present I never asked for. I made a plan. Next time he'd hurt me, there's no going back. I wasn't going to live the rest of my life like this. I just had to get hurt one last time-"

"Ow, Mansoo you're- you're hurting me. S-stop-" "I  d-don t ca r e. Co-c om e  to be-d." Mansoo was pulling hard on Jungkook's arm. Hurting the already bruised spot from a few nights before. He was so drunk he slurred his words like an alcoholic. Although he was one, he never got drink enough to slur THIS much. "Just stop! You know what. I'm done. Have a good life Mansoo, I'll be back tomorrow for my things." Jungkook yanked his arm away and went for the door. "Do n't lea-ve m-me Jung kooook. Pleasse I, I need you. I neeed you." He started tearing up, and he fell to the floor. "No. You 'need' help. We're over." Jungkook left him on the floor. Crying all alone. But we all know he deserved it.

"I came back with my parents as to not get affected by him. Of course he didn't remember the previous night, but he saw my newly scared arms. The bruises and the nail marks he made last night. He started crying and asked if he did it. I told him yes, and he hugged me so hard. He told me I deserved better, and let me go." Jungkook told Yoongi, finally looking over at him instead of the stars. "Are you, are you cry-" "No." Yoongi sniffled and wiped his tears away fast. "Some um, some star dust got in my- in my eyes. I'm not crying. I can't believe the stuff you went through. You're so strong." He hugged Jungkook and they stayed like that for a few minutes. This was one of the few times Jungkook actually felt safe. It felt wonderful.

"Okay so, here's the last lock-"
