SNAPCHAT | TAEKOOK

①⑧

Jungkook arrived at his house after half an hour of running at full speed. His whole body hurt and the brunette was soaked because it had begun to rain midways. His hands were shaking as he unlocked the door with his keys and slammed it shut after stepping inside. His tears hadn't stopped for a single second, his cheeks were reddened by now and his lips trembled.

"Kookie?" Minjoon, who stepped out of the kitchen, looked at his big bro worried.

Jungkook ignored him and rushed up to his room. After slamming the door shut with a loud thud and locking it, he threw himself onto his bed and burried his head in a pillow. He cried and cried, wondering what he had done wrong to upset Taehyung this much. He hadn't done anything wrong, right?

But what Jungkook knew was that he needed someone to talk about it right now. As he was about to call Yoongi, he remembered that he couldn't tell him anything due to his best friend not even knowing that he texted Taehyung in the first place.

His parents were also no option for Jungkook, but who else should he call? Suddenly, it hit him. The brunette quickly dialed her number, hoping she would pick up. A weak smile spread over his face as her cheerful voice appeared on the other line.

"Kookie! It's been a while! How have you been?"

"I..." he sniffled quietly, not being able to continue.

"I know that type of sniffing. What happened? Can you talk?"

An almost silent sob was all she needed to hear.

"Is it that problem?"

"Mhm..."

"I guess you finally managed to talk to him, huh... How long have you been crying?"

"H-half an h-hour.."

"Okay, I guess I can think of what happened. I don't know the exact reason why he hurt you but all you need to do now is calm down, got it, baby bunny?"

"Y-you know I-I hate it w-when you call me t-that." Jungkook sobbed while a small smile spread on his lips.

"I always used to call you like that when you were little. And I know it helps you feel better."

She was damn right.

"Remember my promise, bunny?"

"O-of course, how could I ever forget it?" the younger whispered, his tears finally ceasing to a stop.

"I've told you many times now. You're a beautiful human, Jungkook. Your character is golden and everyone who doesn't realise that is blind. The way how you talk to and care for others is something only a few people in this world have."

Jungkook was grinning like an idiot to himself now, her presence through the phone really helping him a lot.

"Furthermore, you're a hottie. Even if you don't believe me, it's true. I've seen these abs, boy, don't lie to me. Your face is absolutely gorgeous and I don't understand why you're the only one who can't see that. So, Lesson number one?"

"Love yourself..."

"I know that you're not the type to be extroverted and out-going, but that doesn't mean you can't tell others your opinion. Stay strong, Bunny, I know you can do it. Lesson number two?"

"Speak yourself."

"See, it's not that hard, right?"

"Right..."

"So? How are you feeling now?"

"Way better than before... Thank you.."

"No need to thank me, after all I promised you to always help and look after you."

As Jungkook was about to respond he suddenly heard a female voice from the other line say 'Wow, I wish you'd care for me as much as you care for him.'

"Shut up, you know I care for you aswell." she scoffed and Jungkook laughed.

"Say hi to Sophie for me." the younger giggled.

"Nah, that fucker doesn't deserve that. Well, at least not now."

A faint 'Excuse me?' could be heard and Jungkook laughed.

"Just shut up, I didn't forget that you betrayed me yesterday and now get ready, we need to leave in 5 minutes."

"Where do you have to go?"

"Another dancing contest of our pupils."

"Okay, have fun you two!"

"Thanks, bunny."

"And also, thank you, I don't know what I would've done without you..."

"No problem, love you and until next time!"

"Bye, love you, too!"
