❝even the love is a tragedy for me, i always cry after it's over.❞

"what the hell was that? why the fuck were you punching taehyung in the face? MULTIPLE TIMES?" seokjin asks, clearly enraged. i mean, who wouldn't be if your boyfriend was punching your annoying ass cousin. 

i roll my eyes, "he seems innocent but he spat on my fucking face, jin!" i reply. he scoffs, "taehyungie would never do that! h-he's my cousin for fuck's sake! he knows that I-I wouldn't have talked to him for weeks if he did that! plus it's disgusting to spit on people!" he chided.

i roll my eyes once again, "yeah do that a couple more times, maybe you'll find a brain in there to fucking explain WHY you actually punched him and ACCUSED him of spitting on you!" seokjin chastised and looked away, as if he was embarrassed... not gonna lie, this hurt me. this hurt me more than a piano falling down onto me. (as an example. didn't actually happen...)

i knew i couldn't tell him the truth. he would never like me then. so i settled with lying, something I've done for years. "I'm sorry baby, you know I've been... been stressed, with the upcoming comeback and all. plus I'm going on tour next week so I have to practice a lot." i lied. well, half-lied. i haven't been stressed at all, i knew i would ace this. but me being stressed with taehyung was true. he's annoying and dumb.

his face softens as he turns back to look at me, "oh. but... why would you punch tae?" he asked, I stand here staring at him with a blank expression. "yeah... I- I don't know what got over me... listen, baby, I'm not supposed to be telling anyone this but..." I pause. "but what?" he inquires, wanting me to continue. I inhale and exhale, but nothing comes out.

I really can't tell anyone this.

he sighs, "you don't have to tell me, but please don't ever hurt anyone again. it really broke me to see taehyung in such a state, he's also a police officer so I've seen this happening a lot... but I never can seem to get over it." he smiles sadly. he really does care about his family but what the fuck? he's a police officer now?

i try my best not to look affected by the news as I pull him in for a hug, he seems hesitant at first but nonetheless, he hugged me back.

he pulled back when the doorbell rang. "did you invite anyone over?" I asked but he shook his head. I shrugged and walked over to the front door and unlocked it. it was taehyung.

seokjin seemed to be extremely happy as he came rushing to him, pushing me out of the way. jeez, I know it's your cousin but at least treat me gently.

I rolled my eyes as I walked back to the living room, dropping myself onto my leather couch. I change the channel on the tv but nothing interesting was on so I just turned it off.

I could hear seokjin's giggles and taehyung's chuckles. did it gnaw at me annoyingly? yes, yes it did. lately, he hasn't been giving me attention and I definitely didn't want this relationship to end this fast. we've been together for a month and 2 days... I'm not letting it end this early.

jin and taehyung come over and sit down on the couch. but the two completely neglect my presence. I scoff and get up, "oh- where are you going jungkook?" seokjin asks. wow, now you notice me? "to my room." I answered curtly as I left.

"but jungkook-"

"let him leave." taehyung interjects.
