Chapter Twenty Two - It's Only You

" A confession ? " Taehyung smiled sheepishly at the younger, and it became more challenging for Jungkook to focus since the older's hands were on his waist. Not a firm grip, but gentle enough to have him chasing the words in his mind.

" Jungkook? "

" Huh? Ah right.. " As the younger took a shaky deep breath, he closed his eyes and prayed for the best. His trembling body soon froze in its place, eyes wide open as he heard words that ticked off his biggest fears.

" Are you seeing this? "

" I know. In public too? Gross.. "

" I think I might vomit if they suck each other's faces.. "

" Hahah! Seriously bravery nowadays exists in the wrong people. "

Jungkook lifted his head up, his bangs covered his blurry eyes but they soon met clarity. He held on his breath as his eyes met theirs. Eyes that were flashed with indignance and anger, much like lightning on a pitch black night. Judgmental eyes that strengthen your weakness and weakens your strength.

Jungkook's eyes shifted back to the older's. He couldn't breathe, it felt as if someone was choking him. His heart was racing and all he wanted to do was curl up into a ball and wait for someone to save him, to guide him to a place filled with desired answers. A choked cry for help forced itself up his throat, and he felt a drop run down his cheek. It seemed as if this was the end of the road for him as he voiced out those words with a painful smile, and a heavy heart.

" I can't do this to you. "

" Jihye ? It's so late sweetheart what are you doing here? "

" I'm so sorry Mrs. Jeon .. Is Jungkook here? He won't answer my calls nor my texts "

" He came home a few hours ago but.. Didn't respond to anyone and locked himself in his room.. To be honest with you I'm worried sick.. But I believe in you, always. Come inside, I'll make you something to drink " Jihye bowed to the older and rushed her way upstairs, pausing inches away from Jungkook's room. She gently knocked on the door, speaking with a soft voice.

" Jungkook-ah?.. Please open up.. Whatever happened I'm begging you please tell me! I'm worried sick.. please open this door and I promise we'll fix this whatever it is.. " Jihye waited for a few minutes before she heard the door unlock and open by the younger. Her heart squeezed in her chest as she saw his red swollen eyes, realizing this is bigger than she thought it would be.

" What do you mean? Why all of a sudden? I can't make out any sense of this! Why am I seeing tears? What's wrong Jungkook-ah?.. " Taehyung's mind was flooded with questions, and the sight of the younger tearing up only stacked it with more. He soon felt anxious, it was hard to breathe and his sight grew blurry. Was it being over touchy too suffocating for Jungkook? He thought.

" Jungkook.. "

" Hyung. I'm sorry but can you let go of my waist? I need to head back inside.. I don't feel so well "

Is it?..

For fuck's sake why can't I let go?

" Hyung? I need to go "

Don't say it like that

" Let me go "

Will you..
