7. Friendship and Blood

Taehyung's sleep went out of the window suddenly when he felt warm breathing near his face. Hie eyes twitched, hands grip tightened, ready to pinch whoever it is, when he heard Jungkook's melodic voice

"Tae,relax. It's me."

Taehyung visibly loosened but he wouldn't admit that. Despite of his tiredness he still managed to be annoyed.
He opened his eyes.
"Move pervert."

Jungkook's eyes dropped. He cleared his throat and moved from Taehyung.
He wasn't thinking something bad or something. It's just Taehyung looked like a cute puppy and Jungkook liked his soft sleep talking which Taehyung used to do.

He remembered teasing Tae about it in the past.
So when he noticed Taehyung was again sleep talking, he wanted to listen.

"You got it wrong." Jungkook declared.

Taehyung struggled a lot to sit by himself but he wouldn't utter a word of help in front of Jungkook.

When he is done sitting, his eyes half closed he sighed heavily.

"What? Are you okay?" Jungkook questioned.

"How is Jimin?" Taehyung's counter attack.

"Hmm...fine." Jungkook said fast.
He wanted to ask his question again when their attention went to the soft knocks on the door.

"Come in." Jungkook's voice boomed.

Jimin came into view wearing a loose shirt and comfy bottoms. His eyes were tired but a glint of excitement was there, also a scratch mark on his neck.

"Oh Jungkook. You are still here I thought you left. Go and change at least. You are here for couple of hours now." Jimin said.

"I am fine. Why are you here?" Jungkook said defending.

"Jungkook. Taehyung is gonna be sick again just by looking at your appearance. You look....ah! I am calling Jin hyung so that he can drag you." Jimin said attempting to call someone through his phone.

"Noo. I am going." Jungkook got up. He looked between tae and Jimin twice and then left.

"Hello Taehyung." Jimin said awkwardly.
Taehyung doesn't know why Jimin is suddenly talking to him but he smiled lightly.

"I am coming in then." Jimin said slowly approaching Taehyung and sat by his bed.

Taehyung's head was still spinning but he felt a little relieved when he saw Jimin was fine.

"Are you all right?" Jimin asked. His voice was softer than usual.

"Yup. Kind of." Taehyung said trying to avoid any awkwardness.

But Jimin was already curious.

"I am sorry but what happened to you actually? As long as I remember you weren't hurt by them...at all...I mean you make them drop their weapons." Jimin said.

"I didn't go to any doctor but I think I have haemophobia (blood phobia)." Taehyung didn't know why he said it. It's his weakness and he just said it to someone he barely know.

"What? That's unbelievable." Jimin murmured.

"Why?" Taehyung asked when Jimin refused to believe it.

"I mean you were an assassin before right? Umm.... Jungkook's partner? How can you have a phobia of blood?" Jimin said.

Taehyung jaw tightened for some moment. Some unwanted flashbacks were repeating on his head.

"How do you know that? Jungkook told you?" Taehyung asked surprised.

"No way! I just heard it from someone. So it's true right?" Jimin said, now kind of regretting his question when he saw Taehyung's face dropped.

"Unfortunately yes." Taehyung said looking straight.

"What? Why unfortunately though? Jungkook care about you so much!" Jimin protested.

"I need to rest. Can I talk to you later?" Taehyung asked now, irritated.

That's when Jimin understood that he asked something really deep that he shouldn't have. He felt sorry.

"Sorry. I just wanted to say thank you for saving me." Jimin said , lightly blushing. He didn't really like Taehyung first but now he is feeling indebted to him.

"You don't have to say that. It's all because of me anyway." Taehyung said offering a small smile.

Jimin was already thinking what did he mean by it was because of him but he didn't ask. He didn't want to make Taehyung more sad than he already was for unknown reason.

He got up.
"Well,talk to you later."

He left then.

'Jungkook care about you so much' Jimin's words were hurting Taehyung's head. He smiled pitifully.

'he care about me? What a lie!'

' if he did,he wouldn't come back to break me more than I already was.'

Taehyung thought.

His memory took him somewhere that unleashed some painful memory.

(Past)

"Jungkook? Are you fucking serious?"

"Shut up Tae. Why are you overreacting?"

Taehyung's eyes watered.

"You feel like I am overreacting? After all the things you did you think I am overreacting?"

" Tae you are stressing me out. Go right now. I don't have any energy to argue with you.
It's just a simple matter. She was being all over me and I needed her because of that deal you know. That's why I had to sleep with her. That's all." Jungkook said frustrated.

He didn't realise what did he break that day....or maybe he didn't want to admit it....

Trust.....such an important word....

"You are mad. These underworld has made you crazy. You.....you.." He couldn't complete his sentence. How ? How could he manage to convince Jungkook that he was doing wrong?
Because Jungkook thought he loves Taehyung... obviously he loves him but having nightstands while being in an relationship is not that serious.

If only he could notice how he broke Taehyung's patience little by little... his trust....that trust he had for Jungkook when Taehyung fled away from his family, hated his father.
He never knew he would regret it....

He hated underworld......

Any assassination business.....he hated it all.

It made his father arrogant, his lover oblivious.....he despised it all.

Taehyung himself was an wanted assassin...with his skills with any weapons...if added with Jungkook's undefeated strength he thought they could be invincible.

But fate had written something else for them......

(Present)

"Trust....it's such a funny word." Taehyung smiled to himself.

Don't kill me
