Taehyung's POV

I woke up in the middle of the night to the sound of my phone ringing, i answered without looking at the contact name avoiding the high brightness of the phone. "Hello? who is this?" "Taehyung, i-it's Jungkook." what? Jungkook? what would he want at this time of night."Jungkook, why in three hells are you still awake? what time is it?" I asked confused "Hyung, i can't sleep, i'm scared". "scared? of what?." I said, getting worried. "I know that we just became friends and i don't wanna sound stupid, but you're the only one i can talk to" he said. I looked at the time and it was 2:15 AM."can you sneak out? meet me in the park near the school" i said while getting up "okay" he said before hanging up. I changed into jeans and slid on a sweatshirt and snuck out quietly.

When i arrived i spotted him sitting on a bench fiddling with his black hoodie, head hung low, is he okay? i'm getting really worried now. Our eyes met and he rushed to me and hugged me, i was a little taken aback because i didn't expect him to do that. I quickly hugged him back. "Hey,kook" i broke the silence."hey" he replied.

No one's POV

Tae: "Wanna sit?".

Kook: "Yeah".

They sat on the same bench Kook was sitting on before and Tae broke the silence again. "What's wrong?". "Well, I've been thinking and i couldn't sleep....I hate when that happens, but i'm so thankful that this time there's someone i can talk to, back in my hometown i just have to deal with it by myself and end up pulling an all nighter then go to school with eye bags under my eyes". He chuckled like he was making fun of what he just said. 'Fuck, he must be struggling' Tae thought. "I'll always be there for you Jungkook,you can tell me, plus I'm sure my best friend is a great guy." Tae said and smiled, hoping Jungkook thinks of him as a best friend as well, and maybe...just maybe more than a best friend, Taehyung just didn't have the balls to admit it to himself. "Thanks Tae,i really need to get this off my chest, and please please please keep this between the two of us" Jungkook said. 'The only thing that will be not between us right now is space' Tae thought and moved closer to Jungkook, encouraging him to start talking.

Taehyung's POV

He stayed silent for some time before he took a deep breath and said "My father passed away 5 months ago" his eyes started watering "and my mom got really depressed after that, she locked herself in her room for 2 days straight and i had to buy food and try making her eat....she started smoking and drinking and she would come home late at night" he was crying harder than before and i was trying to comfort him and wait patiently for him to continue, as he takes few seconds to sob and sniff. "It's not good for either me or my mom, i'm really worried about her and whenever i try talking to her she would tell me it's adult business and it's not my place to tell her what to do.....I just think about it sometimes and i can't do anything about it but cry myself to sleep" he wiped the tears off his face with the sleeve of his oversized hoodie, I can't help but think he's the most adorable person ever, i feel like i just wanna hug him tight right now, will i seem too touchy if i do that? I was cut out my thoughts when he continued "Don't get me wrong, my mom loves me so much and works till late afternoon to make money for me and her, but she goes to clubs and gets drunk with guys, it just makes me so upset and lonely." He looked down and tears started falling on his jeans. I didn't know he was dealing with all of this alone....he doesn't deserve this at all, he's an innocent cute fragile baby boy and deserves the world only, i promise him and myself that i'm gonna protect him with all my strength and power. I hugged him tightly and informed him "It's okay, shhhh please calm down kook you have me now. You never deserved to deal with all this, I'm really proud of you for having the courage to tell me this, you're strong okay? and I'll make sure that you're always strong."
