Jungkook's POV

It was late at night now and my dad still isn't home. I'm upstairs in my room bored as hell and pissed off because I'm hungry!

I'm basically in my room being miserable and also being super mad that Taehyung doesn't want to talk to me. My head starts hurting the more I thought about it. I groaned and fell back onto my bed.

Just then I heard on knock on the door.

It's Taehyung!

"Come in!" The door opens to reveal Taehyung with two bowls. "I figured you haven't eaten in a while and I know how to cook so I made you some pho."

He sets the soup down on my desk and is about to leave but I get up off of my bed and grab his wrist, "Wait!" He turns around surprised. I realized what I just did and I released him, "L-Let's eat in my room. Together! To get to know each other better."

Taehyung didn't look happy with the idea, "I- a-appreciate the offer but you don't have to do that. I'll let you eat alone. Good night." He turned around and was about to leave when I unexpectedly gave him a back hug.

I don't know what happened I just panicked and something in me snapped!

Taehyung gasped in surprise and reacted in a bad way, "W-What are you doing?" He pushed me off of him and backed up all the way to the door looking scared. I panicked not knowing what to say. I opened my mouth but nothing came out so I ended up saying the worst, "I-I saw a bee on your back, I'm sorry!"

Taehyung stared at me for a few moments more like I was a maniac. I hated it.

Don't look at me like that... Like you don't like me. Please look at me differently.

I couldn't stand being seen like a crazy person, especially by my crush. Something triggered in me and I treated him horribly like the bully I am, "WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU STARING AT?"

Taehyung flinched and looked at the ground in a panic. I've never felt more disappointed in anything I had ever done in my life. I felt even MORE terrible when I saw Taehyung trebling and closing his eyes tight. He opened his eyes wide and began shaking his head aggressively. It looked like he was brushing off a memory that had scarred him.

What the hell was that?

"Tae I-I'm sorry. I don't know why I did that please just sit down and let's eat toge-"

Out of nowhere Taehyung looked up with the saddest and defensive face Jungkook had ever seen. He had tears in his eyes and he looked furious, his breathing had fastened. "Don't... you dare... call me........ that." A heartbreaking tear came down his cheek.

The sight itself hurt Jungkook greatly.

Taehyung realized that he snapped and lowered his head again, ashamed that he had even reacted on it. Jungkook had stared immensely at Taehyung. It was a state that he had never given anybody in his whole lifetime up till now. He was so... interested.

He was OUT OF HIS MIND interested in Taehyung. He wanted to know why Taehyung had just gotten so mad over a little nickname? What was that thing he wanted to forget so badly? Why did he make Jungkook feel like a nobody when all he's ever been is the center of everyone's affection?

He wanted to know. He needed to know. He was determined to make Taehyung feel loved and protected. No matter the cost.

Taehyung lifted his head up and looked into Jungkook's eyes, "I-I'm sorry. H-H-Have a goodnight."

But before Taehyung could leave Jungkook handled the situation much better than before. He slowly walked towards him and slowly wrapped his arms around him tucking his head into the crook of Taehyung's neck, "Just breathe Taehyung, relax. Don't apologize, I'm the one who should be saying that I'm sorry. And I am sorry. I'm sorry. I'll never act like that towards you again. I would never hurt you. If i did, it would hurt me so much more than it would hurt you."

Taehyung was taken aback by Jungkook's words. What is he saying? Why is he being so nice to me? Taehyung felt uncomfortable in the hug but soon he relaxed and found it nice to have someone... again.

He realized who the hug reminded him of and he broke off the hug in a sudden and non-rude way. He smiled at Jungkook because even though he doesn't want to like him a part of him has a good feeling about him.

Jungkook couldn't help but smirk at Taehyung once he saw Taehyung's face a little red from blushing. "Taehyung stay in my room tonight. Let's just talk and then you can sleep wherever you want. My couch over there or the ground or my sleeping bag... or with me in bed."

Taehyung looked up at Jungkook with eyes widened, "H-Huh?" Jungkook tried to play it off, "Well I wouldn't want you to be uncomfortable! You should sleep in my bed so you're not uncomfortable but... then I would have to sleep all alone on the floor." Jungkook gave Taehyung a sad face in hopes that he would agree.

Taehyung felt bad about it and nodded his head in agreement that they should just sleep together. Jungkook accidentally jumped up and down, "HELLS YEAH! LETS GO!"

He grabbed Taehyung's wrist and threw him into his bed and tucked him under the covers and then he jumped in as well facing Taehyung's shocked face to the point that their noses were touching. "Sooooo how are youuu?" Jungkook asked so calmly while Taehyung was still trying to figure out what the fuck just happened.

(^o^)

Taehyung's POV

Jungkook had grabbed my wrist and threw me (with lots of strength may I add) into his bed and came so close to my face that our noses touched! And he made such a cute face and talked in a sweet soft voice, "Sooooo how are youuu?"

I couldn't help but laugh a bit. Jungkook interrupted my laughter and made me blush, "Taehyung you have really pretty eyes." He stared at me like he could see my entire soul. "I- uh- Thanks."

Jungkook smiled at my awkward reaction, "So Taehyung, how old are you?"

"I'm 17." Jungkook's eyes grew wide, "Wait really? What the hell, you look a lot younger than 17." I giggled and asked how old he was and he explained how he had to repeat sophomore year so he was 19 and a senior.

We got pretty deep into a conversation and all of a sudden Jungkook asked me a serious question, "Why did you move from South Korea all the way over here to America?"

I gulped and tried to sound believable, "Well my mom wanted a fresh start for the both of us."

Jungkook continued, "A new start? What's that supposed to mean?"

Taehyung took a leap of faith and trusted someone for the first time in 2 years. "I didn't necessarily hangout with the greatest people."

Jungkook nodded his head understanding why Taehyung had seemed shy and sad and miserable before. "Are- I mean are you okay?"

Taehyung stayed quiet and started thinking, "I don't know if I am."

Jungkook wrapped his arms around Taehyung's wait and pulled him in close, "It's okay if you don't know. I'll make sure that you're okay. I'll protect you."

And while Taehyung found some comfort in those words his smile faded as he thought it out. "He promised me he would too."

Jungkook didn't say anything and pretended to be asleep even though he heard what Taehyung had said. He couldn't do much besides caress the fragile boy's hair and lightly kiss his head till he had drifted off to sleep.
