"Hey, what do you want to do today? There's no school!" Jennie smooched her boyfriend's cheek, causing some of her lip gloss to transfer onto his clear, doll-like skin.

Taehyung shrugged his shoulders, not really wanting to do anything.

"We could~~.... go shopping?" She questioned, talking in her cute voice.

"Ok."

"I'll go get my jacket then, and we can go!" Jennie rushed up the stairs, somehow seeming way too excited, in Taehyung's opinion anyway.

Taehyung didn't move from the loveseat in Jennie's home.

Jennie skipped down the staircase, sorta struggling to put her arm in one of the jacket sleeves but she eventually got it.

Why didn't Taehyung help her?

"Okay, I'm ready." She announced, standing off to the side where the front door was. She waited for Taehyung to get up.

But he didn't.

She cleared her throat a couple of times too.

Did he hear her?

"Baby." She spoke a bit louder, still keeping up with that fucking toddler voice.

Taehyung swallowed some.

"Tae~~" She tried to keep the atmosphere good... but in the back of her head she was a bit nervous as to why Taehyung was ignoring her.

She knew she did nothing wrong.

Or did she?

"Shouldn't you be acting that way towards the guy you're sexting on Instagram?" Taehyung finally spoke, causing Jennie's heart to drop into a panic.

"What are you talking about..?" Jennie's voice immediately went to her normal tone, except more serious.

He stood.

"You know exactly what I'm talking about."

How did Taehyung see her phone?!

She was slowly backing up in fear, Taehyung only coming closer to her.

"I- no, you have it wrong! Someone else was using my account for that--" She got cut off by a sharp slap in the face by Taehyung.

Taehyung knew Jennie's reasoning was bullshit.

Someone else using her account for sexting? That doesn't even make logical sense.

He could see right through her.

He pushed her up against the door, her head squashing into the blinds attached to it.

"You fucking bitch how could you do that?!" He screamed in her face, holding onto her wrists and starting to squeeze them as if they were gonna be dead meat.

Jennie's lower lip shivered, her whole body tensed up as tears filled her eyes.

Taehyung was scaring the hell out of her.

"You'll pay you'll pay!!!!!!" Taehyung spat out, bursting out into a loud cry as he moved his hands to Jennie's throat.

Jennie was choking.

Taehyung cried harder.

He didn't care about Jungkook until now.

Or.. maybe he cared about him all along.

Who else would he have?

Jennie hurt him.

Jennie was choking.

Taehyung did all that shit to Jungkook. He lied.

He lied for Jennie.

So she wouldn't be hurt by his truth.

He did all of it so he wouldn't be rejected.

He was always rejected.

If he was straight, he was being cheated on.

And if he was gay, he wasn't good enough. He was shoved away.

When would he ever be enough?

Jennie was gasping.

When would he be loved?

Sure, "all the girls" loved him.

But it was all fake love.

All they wanted was sex and his looks.

All he wanted was....

Jennie was gasping harshly.

Taehyung knew Jungkook would never talk to him again.

All of that lying and torture for nothing.

He knew what he did was wrong.

But is it true that.. he was so afraid of himself?

That doesn't justify his actions against Jungkook.

Jennie was hardly breathing.

An apology? What good would that do? Jungkook wouldn't accept it.

Even if he tried to explain himself, he knew Jungkook wouldn't listen.

He wanted Jungkook.

But he couldn't have him.

Because being gay is wrong.

And what he did to Jungkook killed their friendship for good.

Just because you're good looking..and popular among a certain group of people, doesn't mean you're properly loved by anyone.

All these thoughts in Taehyung's head, and he forgot that he was choking Jennie until the silence kicked in. Until something slipped from his hands.

Until something hit the floor.

Until something wasn't moving.

Jennie was dead.

A/N: sad.
