Runaway (KTH & JJK) **EDITING**

Chapter Eighteen ✔

| TAEHYUNG |

It's been a week now since Taehyung's and Jungkook's little incident and he hasn't left his room once.

For the past week, people have been coming up to his bedroom and trying to get him to at least come downstairs and eat with them but each time he just refused.

This meant they just left the food outside his door for him to get when they leave, sometimes he'll eat and sometimes he won't in fear that someone might be waiting outside for him to unlock the door and get him.

I guess today was finally that day, he opened up his door to grab the food that was left but ended up being pushed back into the room with a Seokjin storming right into the room before shutting the door, glaring down at the younger with his arms folded across his chest.

Taehyung look up at the older male and gulped, backing up slightly trying to get away from the man's terrifying glare "Hyung..."

"What the hell is wrong Taehyung?" Was the first thing to leave the man's mouth.

A small frown formed on his lips as he took a seat on his bed, looking down at his lap "Nothing," he shrugged slightly.

"That's bullshit and you know it," he replied "You haven't left your room in a week, which clearly indicates that something is wrong, plus you've been ignoring all of us and it's pretty hurtful."

"I'm sorry," he mumbles "I'm just so confused hyung; I don't know what to do."

It was silent for a while, but the bed dipped slightly indicating that the man had sat down before he felt a pair of arms wrapping around his body "Tell hyung what's wrong, maybe I can help."

"Just something happened last week when I left to get another drink," he said quietly, resting his head on the man's shoulder.

"I wondered why you hadn't returned when you left," the man said with a small laugh "What happened?"

Taehyung fell silent for a moment, his mind replaying the kiss that had happened between him and Jungkook last week

The reason why he's avoiding everyone, especially Jungkook. He couldn't bare to leave his room and act like things were okay when they really weren't.

His mind had just been racing all week; he just couldn't get a break from them which lead him to crying even more.

Why did it have to be him? Why did it have to be him who had to fall for that asshole?

All the things he thought he hated about the man, he truly loved about him and he absolutely hated it but he also enjoyed it at the same time.

He liked the smirk he always had on his lips, it made him feel these weird things but he also liked his bunny smile, the smile that brought out his very own. The soft side that he slowly began to show around him, he liked it and he liked how they could have normal conversations once in a while without them arguing over stupid shit.

Just thinking about it brought tears to his eyes, he didn't even realise that he was crying until he felt Jin wiping away his tears and whispering a small 'Shh'.

"Why does it have to be me?" The boy cried.

"What do you mean?" He asked.

"Why did he have to kiss me? Why couldn't he have just kissed someone else?" he cried, hugging the man tightly.

"Who are you talking about?" The man asked, confused but also interested because who had the nerve to kiss his little boy and make him cry? He'd sure make a soup at of them when he finds out; no one hurts his baby Tae.

"Jungkook," that was definitely a name he didn't expect to come out of the boys lips but at the same time he kind of believed it as well, but he did think it would take the man longer to realise his feelings but he guesses he was wrong.

Jin nodded his head, gently running his fingers through his hair as he hugged him close to his body "Why's that making you cry? Did he do something afterwards that hurt you? Do I need to murder him?"

Taehyung just shook his head "He didn't do anything," he cried "Well he did, he's making me feel all these things and I don't want to feel them!"

"And what's he making you feel?" He asked.

"He makes my heart and stomach weird! Why can't I stop thinking about him and our kiss? Jin I don't want to like him!" He said, whining like a little kid "I don't want to want him! I'm supposed to dislike him."

Jin raised his eyebrow slightly "Why aren't you supposed to like him?"

"Because he kidnapped me!" He replied like it was the most obvious answer.

"Maybe so, but do you hate being here?" Taehyung shook his head because no he didn't hate being here.

"I did at first, but then I met all these amazing people and no one was mean to me and I finally felt like I had a home," he mumbled.

Jin nodded with a small smile "Well, I'm sorry to say this but you can't help who you like."

"Why not?" He sniffled, pulling away slightly to look at the older man.

"Because the heart wants what the heart wants," he replied, lightly wiping away the younger's tear with a small smile.

Taehyung went back to hugging Jin, his face buried in the man's chest as he calmed down from his little crying session.

He was happy that Jin was the one who finally spoke to him; he always knew how to make the boy feel better than what he was originally feeling.

Once he finally calmed down, the both of them pulled away from the hug "Are you feeling any better now?" The boy nodded his head with a small smile "Would you like to come spend dinner with us now?"

With a small smile, he nodded his head and stood up "Will Jungkook be there?" He asked shyly, looking down at the ground.

During the time he and Jin were hugging in silence, he finally came to terms with his growing feelings for Jungkook.

He came to the terms that he couldn't force his feelings away, but he could either embrace them and face possible rejection or keep them locked away and have his heart hurting in the process.

Looking up, he could see the man nodding his head with a smile "Of course, he's always there," he replied with a small laugh.

Taehyung just nodded his head, soon following the man out of his room and down the stairs to the dining room where everyone would be sat waiting.

Slowly, he walked into the room after Jin to see that everyone had turned their attention to the door where he stood like a dear caught in the headlights.

Shyly, he looked around before he made eye contact with the one and only Jungkook.

He took in a deep breath and decided on what he was going to do, he'll either regret it later or he won't.

He slowly walked closer to where Jungkook was sitting, looked him dead in the eyes before he climbed onto his lap and wrapped his arms tightly around his neck as he buried his face in the crook of his neck.

His breath catching in his throat as he waited for the male's reaction to the boys bold move.

And to his surprise, the man hugged him back.
