"Wait so you killed him?" Jungkook asks.
"I mean, I don't really know Kook. I haven't heard from him or my grandma about him. In a way I hope I did. So he can't do anyone else like he did me. I told you Kook, he ruined me. Ruined any future relationship for me. He scarred me. I'm too afraid to trust anyone or even open up. But damnit Kook, I just feel safe with you. I don't get it. We have only known each other a few weeks. But I feel so.. sigh, I don't know."
Jungkook gives V a sad smile. He gets it. He knows V will need time. But as soon as he starts to speak, V leans in and pushes his lips to Jungkooks.
"Woah, uh, Tae?"
"Oh God, I'm sorry Kook. I'm so sorry!"
"Tae no it's okay! Really. I don't mind. Please don't cry!"
"I just felt the need to do that. I don't know what came over me."
"Tae, you just told me a huge thing. You opened up to me. You felt close to me. It's fine. Seriously. And I liked it."
V sits there in silence for a few minutes, and then Jungkook places his hand on V leg. V looks down, and takes Jungkooks hand in his.
"Thank you for listening. And not running away Kook. I like the way I feel with you. It's different from before. I feel like maybe I can trust you."
"Tae, you can trust me. I will never hurt you or treat you like he did. You're worth so much more than that. You're special Tae. Very special. And you're beautiful."
And with that, V kisses Jungkook again. This time on purpose.
