A/N Sooo, TRIGGER WARNING for the flashback in this chapter! It involves murder, so, if you're uncomfortable with that, I'll put in the AN at the end what happened!

After crying alone in his dorm for three hours, Taehyung heard a knocks at the door. He quickly got up and went to the bathroom, making sure he looked, well, not like a train-wreck who just cried for three hours. He walked to the door and opened it to see a pissed off Jungkook.

"What?", he asked softly.

"Why the hell do you snap at me so much, hm? I didn't choose this project or the questions I have to ask! I don't deserve to be treated like this by anyone, especially someone who I thought was my friend", Jungkook said angrily, walking into the dorm. Taehyung shut the door behind him, feeling his heart crack some.

"Someone you thought was your friend? I'm not?", he asked, barely above a whisper. He walked over and sat down on the couch.

"Well, you're not acting like one", Jungkook scoffed.

"I'm sorry, this project is just really hard at me. I told you, I don't have the best family life", Taehyung murmured, looking down.

"How? You never answered me", Jungkook said, exasperated," You don't answer my questions and I can't help or make this easier on you if I don't know!"

"My mom is dead", Taehyung blurted out, feeling tears sting his eyes. Jungkook's anger left immediately and only guilt and regret was present on his face.

"Oh, I'm sorry. I had no idea", he said softly, sitting down on the couch beside him.

"No one does, no one but Yoongi and Jimin", Taehyung murmured, still looking down. Jungkook rubbed his back gently.

"How did she pass, if you don't mind me asking?", Jungkook asked softly.

"Let go, please", Su-an begged as Sehun had a hold of her forearm, trying to drag her out of the kitchen and upstairs, where she would be beaten and raped, no doubt. A child version of Taehyung watched in horror from his seat at the table. He had seen this scene many times, before, but it never ceased to be horrific in his eyes.

"No you dumb slut, I haven't got what I wanted", Sehun growled.

"Please, just one nights break", Su-an pleaded, holding onto the counter so it would be harder for him to drag her upstairs and use her.

"Fuck no, I don't listen to you", he scoffed," If you won't go upstairs, I guess I have no choice but to do what I was going to right here"

"S-Sehun no", Su-an begged, not wanting Taehyung to see that. She looked over at Taehyung, fear in both their eyes.

Taehyung couldn't bare seeing his mother in this much pain and fear. As Sehun bent Su-an over the counter, Taehyung ran up to him, pushing him away from her. Though he was small, the alcohol in Sehun made him stumble a bit.

"Don't hurt my mommy!", Taehyung all but screamed at him. Sehun staggered forward, anger in his eyes with more fury than Su-an had ever seen. Sehun roughly shoved Taehyung to the ground, the small boy landing with a thud. Taehyung looked up in fear as Sehun grabbed a large knife from the block on the counter.

"Don't you ever think you can fucking disrespect me like that again", he growled.

"Sehun, don't hurt him!", Su-an screamed as she grabbed the arm that wielded the knife. Sehun let out a sound of pure anger and grabbed his arm away from her. Su-an and Taehyung shared one look, one that seemed like it lasted forever, until the trance was broken.

Sehun grabbed Taehyung and was about to stab the knife into him, when Su-an pushed Taehyung to the floor, stepping in front of him.

There was a small gasp from her as the knife was plunged into her chest. Her body fell to the floor with a thud. Sehun looked over at Taehyung and scoffed.

"Look what you did", he scoffed. Taehyung just looked at him, then his mother, horrified. Sehun left as Taehyung scrambled over to his mother, knowing he didn't have much time left.

"U-Um, it was an accident", Taehyung stuttered, choking on his words as a sob left his mouth, tears streaming down his cheeks. Jungkook pulled Taehyung into a tight hug, letting Taehyung rest his head on his shoulder and sob as the younger rubbed his back comfortingly.

Taehyung sobbed into his shoulder as he curled up in Jungkook's arms, feeling the him rub his back. He began to calm down as Jungkook began humming softly and playing with his hair, even kissing the top of his head on occasion.

"Shh, you're okay hyung, I'm here", he whispered before returning to humming a soft and soothing melody. Taehyung's sobs soon turned to sniffles in Jungkook's embrace. He felt so... loved and cared for. It was a feeling he definitely liked. Yes, Yoongi was like this with him when he was feeling down, but it was different having someone who isn't like your brother behave like this with you.

He looked up at Jungkook with tear stained cheeks. Jungkook swiped his thumb over them to wipe any stray tears. He cupped Taehyung's cheek and pressed his lips into his forehead.

"Better?", he asked with a soft smile. Taehyung nodded in return, snuggling into Jungkook's chest again, making the younger let out a little giggle and coo," I'm sorry for being so hard about the project, I had no idea"

"It's okay", Taehyung murmured. Jungkook kissed the top of his head again and tilted Taehyung's chin to make him look up at him.

"I still have to ask these things for the project, but I'll be more mindful and help you through it, okay?", he asked. Taehyung nodded, looking back down, and closing his eyes. Jungkook kicked off his shoes and laid down on the couch, pulling Taehyung to lay on his chest. He grabbed the throw blanket from the couch and covered them with it.

"What are you doing?", Taehyung asked softly.

"You seem tired and comfortable, so, I don't mind letting you nap on me. We all need someone to nap on sometimes, especially a friend", Jungkook smiled down at him. Taehyung let a small smile form across his face. He snuggled into Jungkook's chest and under the blanket more.

"Thank you, Kookie", he yawned softly, starting to drift off to sleep.

"Anytime, V", Jungkook smiled softly, stroking Taehyung's hair as the older fell asleep, soft and cute snores soon leaving his lips. It wasn't long before Jungkook had fallen asleep with him.

Taehyung had fallen asleep with a different feeling towards Jungkook, a stronger one. He was a bit scared to admit it to himself, but he knew it was true.

He was utterly in love with Jungkook, the boy with the bunny smile.


A/N So, if you skipped over the flashback, basically, Taehyung's mom was about to be beaten and raped in front of Taehyung, so he pushed Sehun away. Sehun then grabbed a knife and was about to kill Taehyung, when his mother jumped in front of him and Sehun stabbed her instead. Just thought I would put that here in less description since it's a major part of the storyline.
