Jungkook's POV

An idiot. That's what I called myself.

Waking up with a frantic Yoongi shaking me was a bit pissy but the reason made me almost piss my pants.

The news about Taehyung missing rang in my eardrums. Even the staff was worried. We had to cancel half the taping to look for Tae.

I was worried, guilty and angry at my sorry self. There was not much we could have done.

"What if wolves got him?!" Jimin said worry laced all over his voice.

"Park rangers were all around the areas. Police are having a mid search tbroughout the forest. This is a conserved forest, a huge part of it is a virgin. So, many wild animals lurks around. Who knows what else is in there ." Namjoon-hyung said.

"Let's just hope he's okay..." Jin said

I was speechless, not a single word was heard from me since I heard the phrase 'WAKE UP! TAEHYUNG IS MISSING!' courtesy of Yoongi-hyung frantically shaking the hell out of me.

I was starring out of nowhere. The green trees look bare and boring to me.

I stood up. I head outside where some staff are calling and police are everywhere.

Suddenly with all lf my strength, I ran towards a destination I dont know.

Taehyung's POV

7 hours before I lost my way....

I was sitting outside the veranda, crying my heartbreak out. I knew this would happen, just didnt expect it to be this painful. I mean, being hurt physically is different from being hurt emotionally.

I decided to walk outside the dead of the night using a flashlight. It was a dumb mistake knowing I could get lost but maybe my brain shut down for a while and before I knew it, I was as lost a cat accidentally crossing a river.

The dark was creepy. Literally I cried in fear, things that go bump in the night was real. I could only imagine dreaded animals like snakes, wolves, spider and bats. I was desperately finding my way back but to nl avail.

I was lucky enough to see a small abandoned hut. I crawled myself to a dark corner crying myself to sleep.

Morning came. The first ray of sunshine hit my face. To my estimation, it was ariund 7 in the morning. I decided to stay put and wait for something or someone to come.

I had enough time to think about last night. But thinkng about it made me tear up pitifully. Despite the puffiness of my eyes, it was no excise to not tear up.

My deep thoughts shifted into pure fear when I heard a rustle of the leaves. I started to grow pale. Fear rushed throughout my body, cold sweat and shivers in my spine was almost as present as night and day.

Please if this is the end, at least give me a painless death.

I shut my eyes tightly. Waiting for anything coming.

The next thing I felt was a person screaming my name and a warm body engulfing me in a bone crushing hug.

"Thank God! Thank God! I found you.... hyung."

That voice...

That voice............

Jung---kook?

"Oh hyung, I was so worried... I was so worried to death..." His voice trembled.

I felt soft mumbled cries from Jungkook .

"Im sorry, Im sorry. Its my fault you left. Im a loser. A coward. Im sorrt for being a pussy. Im sorry for being a scardy cat. Im sorry for being not confident about my feelings. Im sorry for being unsure about all of it. Im sorry for not admitting sooner." Tears floodied his face.

I broke the hug. I came kn face to face with a crying Jungkook.

"Shhh... Im sorry I got lost and you know how stupid and idiot I am." I said quietly.

"No! Its my fault! If-if I had only admitted to myself, none of this could have happened. " I was crying as well.

"I love you hyung."

For a minute there I thought I turned deaf.

I looked at him like a statue.

"Wh---?"

"I love you. Since before we debuted. Since I saw you. "

"Jun-"

"Its okay if you reject me. I-I deserve it. Im such a loser hyung. It was a one time chance and I blew it. This is all my fault."

"Bu-"

"I'll find a way to move on and be that guy who will love you from afar and then I--"

"Shut.Up! and Let. me. finish! Damn! it!" I shouted irritated by the obvious interruption. Jungkook automatically clammned hid mouth shut.

"First of all, this is all my fault. If I wasnt stupid to walk at nighg with a mere flashlight then none of this wouldve happened. And second of all," I looked at him.

"How could I reject your confession?"

Jungkook stared at me. My blood alk went up to my face. Pink shades appeared on his face in the sudden revolution.

"Im sorry. If I wasnt being such a stupid loser, I - I---"

I got tiref of his rambling and just pressed my lips to his shutting the hell him up.
