taehyung's feet were worn out.
his heart was confused.
and his mind was not in the right place.
all this time, jungkook had felt something for him and he hadn't said anything.
he'd taken taehyung's bullshit. taken all the hits and curses hurled at him.
sighing, he kicked a stray rock on the pavement, watching as it fell with a bump; much like the cells in his body right now.
taehyung just really loved jungkook.
and when he got advice from joshua, it made it clear. he should tell jungkook what he saw. he should be open about the fact that he had read the messages.
but taehyung also agreed to make the first move and remove all bad memories in jungkook's mind of him. he was eager to go home and see jungkook. he knew the boy had to come to school today but taehyung hadn't managed to catch a glimpse of those doe eyes.

"jungkook?" taehyung's eyebrows scrunched up when he opened the door of the house to find it empty and lifeless. usually, jungkook would be watching some show or lazing on his bed.
nothing.
he thought of calling him, but he knew that was a stupid decision because the calls were recorded. and if they found out jungkook was missing-
taehyung's eyes widened as his fingers scrambled to get his phone out.
no no no. please god no. please.
jungkook still had the tracer on him.
if he left, that would mean-
no.
taehyung's mind raced faster than his fingers and he felt his heartbeat increasing. what was he supposed to do ? he couldn't contact the younger one, he couldn't go out searching for him, he just wanted him back home safely-
just as he started sobbing on the floor that had seen so many fights, he heard the front door unlocking.
"t-taehyung? im back home."
"do you think thats fucking funny."
"what? i just went out to-"
"why would you do that ! huh! do you really not care for your life?" taehyung sobbed as he got up, beating jungkook's chest.
"tae, wha-"
"no, fuck you! i thought you were... i thought you were fucking dead, kook! do you think this is a joke, where did you-"
jungkook stopped taehyung by his wrists and kissed his knuckles.
"i just went to get some groceries."
he dropped taehyung's hands and went to the kitchen counter to keep the items.
taehyung on the other hand was blushing furiously, unable to comprehend what just happened.
"so, joshua huh?" jungkook raised his eyebrow as he shoved juice boxes into the fridge.
"what?"
"i saw you with him today."
"you came to school ?"
jungkook scoffed and said , "yeah. was going to tell you something but i guess not."
taehyung's heart started picking up its pace and jeongguk looked at him with a giddy smile.
"tell me w-what?"
"it's not important anymore ... so don't worry. i hope he treats you-"
"don't finish that sentence jeon." taehyung put his hand out and walked to his room, sitting on the bed in confusion.
"what are you sulking for ?" jungkook followed immediately, offering him some juice.
"nothing. and i don't want that juice."
"oh, okay. sorry-"
"stop apologizing for nothing."
"right. oka-"
"nothing is okay. you're being shady and i don't like it. it's weird."
"like you beating me up because i went to get groceries is any less weird." jungkook giggled.
"you know ,i wanted to bring this up before. why do you stop inbetween your sentences and not finish them?" taehyung pointed out.
"what do you mean?"
"well the other day you said "i can't be anything less than" and then stopped."
jungkook visibly gulped and tried leaving the room. taehyung held the tiny waisted boy and made him sit back on the bed, before closing the door.
"you're not leaving this time jungkook. sit down. i need to tell you something too."
"m-me?"
"sit."
